Chapter 675: I Know How To Kill You
Pov Athena:
Using the ring that allows me to continue communicating with Darius who is in town, I hear more information about the monster that appeared there, but one of those pieces of information caught my attention.
"Tell me more about this crystal you saw inside the monster." (I)
As I speak I keep away so as not to be interrupted, I continue to attack him from a distance with light element magic.
"I only saw a part of the crystal, but I could see that it was purple in color and had some Runes engraved on the crystal." (Darius)
"Was there a silhouette inside the crystal?" (I)
"I wasn't going to talk about it as it was only for a few seconds, but it looked like the silhouette of a foot." (Darius)
"This worm has so much disrespect for himself that he's gotten so low!?" (I)
I look at the grotesque monster that Gregory Roux has become, he was managing to defend himself better from my attacks after so long of fighting, and now I understood why I couldn't kill him before.
He used a curse that normally only some Heretics or few Necromancers use, he used the Curse of Life and Death.
This curse is a heinous act where the Soul has to be separated from the body before being sealed with a crystal, this makes the person immortal, but it has several inconveniences like not having any feelings anymore, the person becomes more aggressive and miasma starts to be emitted steadily from your body.
The worst kind of punishment falls to the soul, over time the Soul is weakened over time, if it takes too long to release the Soul, then when the seal is broken the Soul can shatter as it is too weak.
This curse may seem attractive, but it makes a person live a cursed life and when he finally dies he finds that he will have nothing as his Soul will disappear.
He turned into this grotesque thing and still condemned his own Soul.
"You've become a being worthy of pity, I think I can use that on you." (I)
I land on the ground and spread my wings, unfortunately, I can't use my Aura very well since I unfollowed God Baldr, but I can still use it.
In the end, his skin started to dry and crack making more openings through which the light came out, it didn't take long for the body to burn from the inside out and the body to disappear into dust.
Ding!
[ You won... ]
All this took just a few seconds, in the end, there was no body left to regenerate, but I fell to my knees on the floor with blurry vision.
I can hear the system, but I ignore it as I'm not in a position to see it right now.
Sigh
The clothes around my arms were torn to shreds and I could feel my arms hurting so much that even moving them was difficult for me.
"Damn! It's not the time... for this... there are still enemies..." (I)
I try to pull a potion but it falls out of my hand, before I try to pull out another potion someone shoves one in my mouth while pushing my head back.
In a few seconds, my vision improves and I see Michael covered in blood, I look around and see more than twenty bodies, I hear sounds of fighting and I see Angela tearing apart two enemies a few meters away.
"We have to get out out of here." (I)
"I don't know if we should, the Empire troops might not resist." (Michael)
"We've already done more than... we should have." (I)
"The strongest enemies..." (I)
"Angela just took care of the last two, we were keeping them away from your battle, the rest of the army may have noticed something wrong now that the barrier we made was destroyed by you." (Michael)
I look around better noticing that there is a barrier flashing around us, I look towards the direction in front of me where I see a growing ditch that made a path of destruction through the forest in front of me, there was also a cut in the barrier where the path of destruction continued deeper in the forest.
"Let's go out, now." (I)
