Chapter 299.2: Prophecy ?

It was a piece of jewelry. A pretty big one at that. As I have Barrier Rings, I was about to reach into the box to take it out when suddenly I felt my body being pulled backward.

I lost my balance and the box rolled out of my hand. The carpet I was wearing like a cloak pulled me backward. It was almost at the same time as I realized the cause of my losing balance that the smoke was rushing down to where I was standing.

Hihhh!? (Tino)

Tino screams and steps back. The smoke that went out through the broken window was coming back to the Clan House. It was as if it had a will on its own. Its momentum is incomparable to when it erupted from the box, like a muddy stream. Perhaps there would be nothing left of you if you are exposed to it unprotected.

No way Car-kun, did you save me!?

If anything, I feel that he wanted to run away But could it be that his unfriendly attitude is just a front!?

Ma-Master This is (Tino)

The black smoke that returned converged in one place. It was a beautiful, repulsive, out-of-this-world sight.

Even I, who had seen many dangerous things, unintentionally took a step back. Tino, with her keen sense, probably understands the threat of that thing in front of me more than I do. I took a stance, but my teeth were *katakata* clattering.

Why would you come back after leaving the Clan House once? Even though it would have been fine if you didn't come back The gathered smoke increased its density and took shape. Strangely enough, it was similar to the unsealing of Marin's Wails that I had just witnessed the other day.

However, there is no Multi-Layered Barrier Magic Circle this time.

The black smoke was no longer smoke. The converging smoke clearly formed a human shape and then the darkness flowed down. A girl with her eyes closed appeared from inside. It is the same pattern as Marin's Wails, but the girl who appeared this time was not as broken as Marin's Wails, andShe was not a human being.

Pointy ears and a beauty that looks like something artificialShe is a woman Spirit People. She wore a robe like those worn by Magi, but the pendant around her neck was very conspicuous. Bright redA crimson jewel with a mysterious glow that is as red as blood. Just by staring at it makes me feel like I am suffocating.

Come to think of it, it is said that Spirit People curses are stronger than human curses 

Obviously, it wasn't alive. Its feet weren't touching the ground, and its atmosphere was too different from a living creature.

Calm down, Cry Andrich. Tino is here too, so as the Clan Master, I can't show my pathetic side.

What should I do What should I do? Run away? Ask for help? To whom? It is only at a time like this that I returned the Symphonic Stone to Franz-san.

Let's negotiate. In any case, it is not like I can do something against Monsters, Phantoms, or curses. Let's go with peace and love. I have always gotten out of trouble by getting down on my knees and doing a dogeza or negotiating in a friendly manner.

Even Spirit People, who are generally hard to get along with, have good people among them. That is Kruz, I have to think that is Kruz or Eliza.

I raised my right hand and smiled as I approached the mysterious Spirit PeopleAnd the Spirit People opened her eyes.

She had glowing eyes. My muscles froze and my body stopped moving. It was as if I was a frog being stared at by a snake. Even though I wasn't afraid of herOr maybe my soul was afraid of it.

Her pair of eyes turned towards me, but they weren't looking at me. So I follow her gaze. What it was staring at wasMy ring. It was on the index finger of my right hand, which I raised in a friendly mannerA wooden ring. A cursed Relic that attracts curses. Come to think of it, the letters carved on the ring and the pattern on the box seem somewhat similar.

It was hatred. What was in the depths of her eyes was an overflowing hatred. She has a well-defined appearance. Her facial expression was not distorted, but because of that, her powerful emotions were conveyed to me. I quickly tried to pull out the ring, but it still would not come off. While doing so, the mysterious Spirit People extended her arm. Something like countless black spears shot out from behind her as if guided by her arm.

It wasn't that fast.  But there was no way I could avoid it. Car-kun which was wrapping me flew backward and pulled me. Countless black spearsRather than spears, they were waving like kelpJust barely pierced my body and bounced off due to my Barrier Ring. If you were going to pull my body, pull me earlier, Car-kun.

Well, but if I didn't tie it up like a cloak, he would be the only one running away. Luckyyy.

Thanks to Car-kun pulling my body, my body, which had been frozen as if it was paralyzed, started moving again. I staggered as Car-kun pulled me along, and the kelp chasing after me just barely scraped off one of my Barrier Ring again.

It is no good, at this rate I will lose all my Barrier Rings and die. I have to call somebody to help That was when I realized something.

That's right, the "Light Spirit (Korei)" Church! If I somehow managed to escape to the "Light Spirit (Korei)" Church, I am sure they will do something about it! Even Anthem is there!

And it seems like Car-kun will be able to fly now. Fortunately, the glass in the Lounge is broken and I can still take a few shots.

I am lucky today. I quickly approached Tino, who was standing there with a pale expression on her face, and took her hand. I can't leave the helpless Tino behind. For Hugh Well, it is an unavoidable sacrifice. If I make it back alive, I am so gonna ask him why he brought this crazy thing.

Tino, let's go! (Cry)

Ah, Master~ (Tino)

I ran toward the broken glass. It has been a long time since I last moved my body. Countless spears rush toward me, and Car-kun brilliantly avoids them. Every single spear that was swung at me cleanly pierced my head and was blocked by a Barrier Ring. Fortunately, it didn't hit TinoBut you are not doing it on purpose, are you? It doesn't hurt, but it is super scary.

Under the feet of the Spirit People, the tile floor, which had just been repaired, was being eroded by the darkness and was crumbling. I want to charge her for the repair.

The black kelp crawls along the ground in pursuit. Apparently, that body made of condensed darkness can move the darkness in and out at will. It's kinda cool. But there was no time to do anything. When I make up my mind, I *Heyah* leaped out of the window while holding Tino's hand.

Fly, Car-kun! (Cry)

Now is the time to show your true power. I felt the gravity all over my body. Perhaps following my order, Car-kun, which I was wearing, opened up widely.

Then the knot in front of my neck came undone and my field of vision flipped. I almost fell headlong off the Clan House, still holding Tino's hand, but just in the nick of time, Tino, who was holding my hand, grabbed the edge of the carpet and took a big leap into the air.

If it was the other way around, I would have definitely let go because it would be too painful. Nice one, Tino!

Thanks for reading! Press F for Hugh, he brought the strongest curse for Cry but thanks to the ring, the curse materializes rather than killing everyone in the Imperial Capital. And OMG Cry is going to the Korei Church and you know what is over there! 2 other curses that Cry planted there with his Divine Strategy! Epic battle incoming!?
