"Damn it! Amleth, let's go!" [Khamisah]
"Right. The others with me! Jean and Diana, Ophelia's not in any danger now, but please keep an eye on her" [Amleth].
"Right!" [Jean]
THE THING strengthened the curse, resurrected the devil who put the curse on this land, and made it even more powerful and bigger.
"Hahahahahahaha! With this, with this, I am even more powerful than the Almighty Devil King. I am the Devil of the Curse, Oglakan!" [Oglakan]
"Hahahahaha... You make me sick to my stomach." [Merlin]
"What's so funny, you insignificant witch!?" [Oglakan]
"Powerful, certainly, but you're still no match for the Devil King himself. Take it from me, one of the four who defeated him." [Merlin]
A battle in the sky. The devil called Oglakan grows large. He grows wings, made of miasma of darkness. His horns, three in number, with the one on his forehead emitting some sort of cursed miasma. He's muscular, unlike the curse of famine that he emit. He's boastful, just like the energy he love to feed. He radiate intense killing pressure, again, one of the thing that curse of him love
Even deep in the castle's underground, I can hear the commotion. The exchange between my master and the devil. The screams of terror and panic from the castle workers as the great devil hovers over the skies of Amleth. It is noon, and yet
"It's getting darker..." [Diana]
"Stay still. Let me heal you until you can walk and then we'll join the fight!" [Jean]
"Right! Sister Jean, I'll use Whisper of the Wind. I'm sure assessing the situation will be valuable, especially if the battle becomes prolonged, we need to evacuate the citizen" [Diana].
"This will certainly slow down your healing, but as a paladin and a knight, you have my gratitude for doing this" [Jean].
It's like Sister Jean said, it will definitely slow down my healing, but I'm a blessed person, and my bloodline is from Aru herself, so it's only a matter of time before I join others in the fight up in the sky. The safety of my friends, the safety of the Amlethians who welcome me as one of their own, the safety of those who will one day be ruled by my two friends Kara and Mara is of the utmost importance, so I should just grit my teeth and make it happen.
"Fairy wind blessing, Sylph, help me" [Diana].
Focus. Focus. Hear and assess the entire battlefield. Hear all the commotion that's taking place on Amleth. Hear them. Let the wind carry their sound, their hope and their despair. The wind is my ally.
"I am sorry... I'm sorry... If only I hadn't hesitated when THE THING threatened me..." [Diana]
"Don't cry. It's okay. No one will blame you" [Jean]
"But..." [Diana]
"It's okay. Concentrate. No matter what just happened, we have allies who are capable, allies we can count on. What's done is done. Focus on what we can do to help them" [Jean].
"Ri...Right!" [Diana]
I can hear the souls leaving as they're suddenly struck by the curse of death, forcibly removing their souls from their bodies prematurely. I can hear the healthy becoming skeletal and falling ill as all the nutrients and energy leave their bodies. I can hear the sound of the mother hurting her own arm as she tries her best not to suffocate her newborn. It is terrifying, it is terrifying.
"It's coming from the ground!"
"This is..." [Diana]
"Something happened?" [Jean]
"A clue... From one of the fathers in a church" [Diana]
"The source of the curse is the earth!"
"True! I can feel it, but it's too big!"
"Only Saintess Rumia or Saint Louis can purify something that big! Hurry, go to her and help her!"
The ground. Is he saying that something is coming from the ground? Based on his conversation, I think that's what he meant with the other sisters and fathers. If that's the case
"Earth fairy Gaia, help me. Earth sonar!" [Diana]
Let the earth be my eyes. Let the wind be my ears. Concentrate. Find the source of the curse. It is dark... Is it always this dark when I use Earth Sonar? No, this is just the curse obscuring my vision. In that case, I'll just have to enhance the earth sonar with holy magic to pierce through the darkness and...
"I see... I see..." [Diana]
"Diana, have you found out anything?" [Jean]
"Yes! Yes, I have! Sister Jean, listen!" [Diana]
The source of the curse comes from the devil himself. It feeds on the negativity of Amlethian and its land to strengthen itself, and the base of all this, or rather a new base for all this curse is
"Ophelia herself. She's amazing" [Diana].
"What do you mean?" [Jean]
"Even when she's unconscious, she's still thinking about the country. As such, she sacrifices her body to absorb all the curse on her body, even when she's unconscious, but... It's not enough. At this rate, the devil will win and absorb her life force as well" [Diana].
"Is there anything we can do to stop this?" [Jean]
"Perhaps. I have an idea. I'm not sure if it will work, but if it does, it's better than brute force to defeat this devil" [Diana].
For now, let us heal her. I'm getting better, and honestly, it still hurts, but if it's for the sake of Amleth, it's a pain I'll endure.
"Miss Ophelia Vars... Sister Ophelia Vars! Wake up!" [Diana]
Jean and I heal and try to wake her. It takes several tries and...
"Diana..." [Ophelia]
"You're awake, thank you, Goddess!" [Diana]
"How do you know her name?" [Jean]
"She's always playing in the castle, even tried to stick her nose in me several times, Miss Paladin Jean" [Ophelia].
"You know what goes on in the castle?" [Jean]
"Not just the castle. All of Amleth... I can tell what's happening" [Ophelia]
"Good. That saves us some time explaining. Sister Ophelia, listen..." [Diana]
I tell the three of them my plan
"Damn it! Amleth, let's go!" [Khamisah]
"Right. The others with me! Jean and Diana, Ophelia's not in any danger now, but please keep an eye on her" [Amleth].
