BXBX NOVEL 156 Chapter 155
“How’s that possible?!” Alberta stared at Agnez who didn’t even bother to look at her and walked toward Mykel instead. “I’m not mistaking it, she’s being possessed by an archdemon,” She continued and kept pointing her staff at Agnez.
“I’m not being possessed, I’m the master of the demon inside me,” Agnez stared at Alberta with a straight face. “I’m not hostile, don’t waste your stamina on whatever you’re going to do,”
Mykel believed that Mazikeen wouldn’t be able to leave Agnez’s body even if she wanted to since she had become a skill itself. The system overruled everything and nothing could go against it, but he kind of curious about what would happen if he removed her [Demonic Possession] skill.
“We got problems,” Agnez stood in front of Mykel with her arms crossed. “These people are cursed and there’s no way for us to be able to bring them back, so I killed some of them,”
Brynhilde jumped in and grabbed Agnez’s shoulder. “What did you say?! You killed them?” She asked with her eyes wide open.
“Yes, we killed them,” Agnez furrowed her forehead. “Hold on, a minute, who are these people anyway, Mykel?” Agnez looked at Mykel and was a bit annoyed with their presence.
“Why would you do that?!” Brynhilde screamed at Agnez’s face as she shook Agnez’s shoulder.
Agnez had enough of Brynhilde’s act and pushed her away with full strength so that Brynhilde fell to the ground.
“What’s your problem? She suddenly used some kind of magic at me and then you’re bugging me as well,” Agnez said as she pointed at Alberta and then looked at the rest of them.
Jeanne was about to stand for Brynhilde, but Mykel suddenly grabbed Agnez’s head. “They’re from another world, like us, there’s no time to explain because there’s an important thing that we need to do,”
Agnez stared at Brynhilde and something was off about her that even Mazikeen warned her about Brynhilde.
“And what’s that?” Agnez asked.
“We need to find the people from their world, that woman over there is a Saint that can purify the body and lift the curse,” Mykel answered and looked at Alberta. “We need to gather as many Awakeners as possible,”
“That’s it? We already done it and we have captured at least thirty to forty of them,” Agnez replied and pointed in the direction where she came from.
“Good, I know that you can be depended on. Show us where you secure them,” Mykel said as he helped Brynhilde stand up.
Agnez led them to where they secured the cursed Awakeners, they were tied onto the trees and mouths with rocks because they wouldn’t stop screaming and laughing like a maniac. There was a total of thirty-six people that Agnez and the others captured and a few of them were the people from the Aersland.
Alberta stood in the middle where the cursed Awakeners were tied on the trees, she then activated [Purification]. Her hands and her staff glowed so brightly and then all the cursed Awakeners were staring at the light like a moth then the moment the light disappeared, they all fell unconscious.
Alberta walked toward the Awakeners from Aersland world, and she saw so many injuries on their bodies. She then healed all the open wounds and it healed instantly which made Gunnar and the others looked so surprised.
“Wait, you can heal a wound with magic?” Gunnar asked as he stared at Alberta healing the wounded.
“I can, but I can’t bring the limbs back. I can only close the open wounds and healed them,” Alberta answered.
“That’s still amazing because we don’t have anyone in our world who can do something like this,” Gunnar said as he watched the wounds slowly close themselves.
“That’s because we are not really the same race as you are,” Brynhilde answered as she carefully put down everyone on the ground to let them rest properly.
“Not the same race? You’re not a human?” Rozan furrowed his eyebrows and stared at Brynhilde and the others.
“We are a human but we are a higher race than you are,” Brynhilde answered as she rolled the rope. “We are a high human and we are born with an ability like magic and we have higher resistance compared to normal humans,”
“How do you know that?” Agnez asked as she squinted her eyes.
“We heard stories but that’s for another time, but one thing for sure is that we have been stuck in this world for a year. We understand the difference between us and you,” Brynhilde answered.
“So, is that why you guys have the same hair color and eyes?” Sven asked as he pointed at his hair and eye.
“Yes,” Brynhilde answered as she nodded her head.
Gaswin explained everything to Agnez and the others about how they ended up stuck in Tirth World. He also explained about Aersland so Gunnar and the others could grasp who they were and what kind of people of Aersland were.
Mykel was checking the battlefield and there was no sign of stopping, and they wouldn’t stop until the world is saved. Suddenly he looked to his left and heard rustling sounds that came from there, then Asmond and Kastor with the others came.
“You guys alright?” Mykel asked and looked at Asmond and the others who looked exhausted already.
“It’s a mess, and everyone seems to be immortal or something, but something is wrong with them,” Kastor answered as he sat down and exhaled deeply. “Where were you? We thought that you guys would come and follow us to the fortress,”
“Why should we? You guys can handle things on your own, and it was you who decided to go there in the first place,” Mykel stared down at Kastor with his hands in his pockets. “Since you lead your own team into the fortress, we went somewhere else to gather information,”
Asmond looked at Brynhilde and everyone else was gathering in the middle with a campfire to warm themselves,
“Who are those people, Mykel?” Asmond asked while Brynhilde stared at them.
Before Mykel could answer Asmond’s question, they heard giggles and chuckles that came from the cursed Awakeners. Brynhilde and the others stood up as they unsheathed their swords, Alberta on the other hand, used [Purification] on their swords.
“What’s going on?” Gunnar and the others stood up and readied their weapons as well while they were staring at those cursed Awakeners giggles and chuckles with their eyes closed.
“The demons used their emotion as a place to reside, now that they have been purified, they can do nothing but come out from the body. The only way to banish them is by using Alberta’s power,” Brynhilde answered as she swung both of her swords after they received holy power and made them glow.
“These demons are impossible to kill with just physical attack or magic so don’t bother to try if your weapon isn’t purified, and we have to kill them as soon as they come out from the bodies or they will fly away,” Gaswin said and readied his stance.
Alberta drank [Stamina Potion] and when she was about to give [Purification] to Jeanne and the other’s weapons, Mykel grabbed her staff and shook his head.
“There’s no need, I can handle the rest. You can save it for later since you’re going to need it,” Mykel said with a smile on his face.
“We have no time, just make sure you kill as many as you can,” Brynhilde said as she glanced at Mykel.
The bodies of the cursed Awakeners started to twitch as if something was trying to leave the body. They could hear the sound of bone cracking and some of them even bent their bodies in an impossible position.
A shadow figure came out from one of the bodies and Brynhilde dashed forward and swung her sword so quickly that both Jeanne and Agnez were a bit amazed by her speed. The shadow figure screamed as it slowly disappeared into thin air, and the scream triggered the other shadow figures to come out from the bodies.
Mykel stared at dozens of shadow figures around him and he immediately used Hellfire and burned them all at the same time. Brynhilde and the others looked at Mykel and they were dumbfounded by how easily he banished the demons.
“What kind of magic is that? We have tried to kill them with magic before but it didn’t work,” Eckerhard asked and stared at the blazing flames surrounding them.
“This isn’t magic, this is Hellfire, a fire that can burn everything,” Mykel answered as he lit his cigarette with Hellfire.
“Something is wrong with these people,” Asmond said as he walked away from the bodies in front of him.
All of the bodies of the cursed Awakeners slowly shrunk and they all looked like a person who hadn’t eaten for years. It looked like a balloon getting deflated, everyone was staring at them with disgust but then Alberta and Gaswin ran toward the bodies and started to heal them.
“Yeah, that’s so weird because we saw that happened when we killed them on the battlefield,” Gunnar said.
“It’s normal because they haven’t eaten ever since they got the curse and kept fighting without resting for a whole year. The moment the demon inside their bodies got banished, they will turn to their real appearance and that’s the real them,” Brynhilde said.
“The chance of them surviving is getting smaller and smaller the longer they’re possessed by the demons. This is what we have been dealing with ever since the curse came to this world,” Brynhilde looked at Mykel.
“Well then, there’s no time to waste, let’s cleanse this world from the demon,” Mykel said and everyone nodded in agreement.
