The pair found a secluded cave at the base of a hill about half a day's journey away.
There were still a few hours of daylight remaining, but neither of them was willing to press on. There were no known safe hideouts nearby, and taking unnecessary risks after a battle was the last thing they wanted to do.
Besides, they both needed time to rest and recover. Although the fight with Carou had been brief, it had been very intense — especially for Luca.
For now, the cave would suffice.
Luca hung the talisman on the wall. Then he saw Adam carving complex runes on the ground meant for defence and concealment.
The more he spent time with Adam, the more confused he grew.
Just how much time had Adam spent to learn so many different kinds of magic?
By his own admission, he, first and foremost, specialized in summoning magic. In the earlier fight, he displayed spectacular prowess in illusion magic. And now, it turned out that he was also proficient in rune magic.
