The Bush Ape desperately tried to cover its injury. She carved a large laceration as her body landed behind him. The poised blade that Avernus enchanted for her pierced borrowed deep into the ape’s neck. Her yellow eyes met the daemon’s startled stare. Dyle and Kurogane moved into covering Kamoana and the prince, while everyone else readied themselves to fight the daemon. A large hairy ape daemon dropped from the balcony. Dyle and Kurogane arrived with Kamoana tailing behind them.Ī load growl pulled everyone out of their focus. The exorcists bitterly muttered something about a ‘Headless knight’ and ‘back’ before surrendering to the void.
Something had disemboweled the exorcist’s abdomen. Guts in her hands, it didn’t take long for her to drop severely to the ground.Įleanor rushed to her side to check on her. They saw a heavily wounded exorcist, limping towards them. Instead, the painful moaning was heard coming from the dark corner of the room. Weapons and artes at the ready, they encountered no threats inside. Her senses were heightened to maximum levels. She felt anxious to go through this once more. But some traces of it still remains.” Avernus answered. The malevolence is mostly absorbed by the inhabitants of this Island. “Is it worse than Palamedes?” Eleanor asked, wonderingly. He was choosing to be responsible for them at the moment. He was a rogue and a deserter but no less of a Shepherd. That title had a weight that he still could not carry. Having been called anything but the prince was enough for him. “For your own safety, I can’t risk the malevolence affecting either of you.” while the humans sensed nothing out of ordinary. Laphicet and Eizen felt that they refreshed with a tickling sense. A wave of silver flame formed under them. He gently slammed the end of his staff on the ground. Avernus caught their doubtful expressions but he proceeded nonetheless. The prince and Eizen uncomfortably stood close.
“Eizen, Laphicet, Eleanor, Magilou, and prince Percival, gather around me… please.” Laphicet quickly moved to his side with Eleanor skeptically followed him. The missing pages were removed recently but they had another important mission at hand. “Stop messing with the book! We have got a job to do here and none of it involves reading!”Īvernus sighed and closed it but he couldn’t shut his own thoughts. Velvet suddenly looked back at them, eyes scolding. “Laphicet, did you take some of the pages by any chance?” he asked. In the back, the sorcerer was going through the ancient book. Velvet’s scoping was over, “Then let’s check inside.” “Quiet and no exorcist or guards in sight…” Rokurou observed the area and looked a bit surprised like something was out of the place, Only three people had been to the Island and all three of them were acting as if they expected something else. “The whole island’s a prison… It’s like a secret fort or something…” His voice sounded excited and afraid at the same time. Laphicet’s eyes were fixated on the front door, Velvet began to scan the area like a hunter. The crew began to unload crates and supplies, creating a forward base near the docks. Eizen scoured the piers for any signs of activity, but it seemed to be all clear. Mere glances sent minor shivers into Laphicet. To people who never been to that place, those were the apparent signs of misery and depression A large fortress with a bland architecture. The Island and the giant fort slowly came into the view, overshadowed by clusters of dark clouds. Just as the Palamedes, the air was filled with the dark poison of Malevolence. The sea breeze felt heavy on everyone’s lung.
