While Nahl and the cemetery army absorb the energy of the dead guards, Fray drew one of their swords and headed toward the circle of the ritual sacrifice.
Slusith a quick movement of the sword, Fray cut one of the sorcerers, leaving his body on the ground soaked in blood.
Slaslaslashree more swings were enough to drop the remaining sorcerers dead to the ground, which stopped the ritual sacrifice and caused the blonde-haired young woman to fall to the ground.
Slusray strongly waved his sword in the air once more to remove the blood from its edge before stepping forward and approaching the unconscious girl.
"..." Fray looked at the girl's pretty face with a complicated expression before slowly placing the edge of his sword on her neck.
But that's all Fray did, he just put the cold edge of his sword on the girl's neck and paused, unable to know his next step. In fact, meeting this person here was not part of Fray's plans, because Luke and the other protagonists could not solve the curse in the original novel which kept this curse and much information related to it very vague in the novel, and some of this information remained unknown even after years.
As in the original novel after many attempts Luke was able to cause a small conflict in the cures' ritual, this imbalance for some reason canceled the effect of the first sacrifice the thing that made the curse much weaker, but the protagonists did not know how did this happen or what occurred to the first sacrifice, they just realize that the first sacrifice has failed from the angel and so, now even Fray did not know anything about this sacrifice but after the disappearance of a certain person from the party he arrived to a specific conclusion after recalling much minor information mentioned in the novel and despite his wish to make this conclusion false, this girl proved It to be true and now Fray is unable to know what to do...
(Are her eyebrows moving? ) Fray thought while noticing the eyebrows of the girl who were constantly trembling. He was sure that these sacrifices are supposed to be in a deep sleep, unable to wake up even if they were killed but this girl now seems to be awakening...
Thus, the eyebrows of the beautiful girl continued to tremble until suddenly they began to move away from each other, revealing a beautiful, clear green-colored eye.
"…" Fray looked into the girl's eyes who was looking at him as well with a confused look before slowly turning around to look at the sword that was placed on her neck.
Suddenly and without prior notice, a lot of tears began to come out of the girl's eyes as the girl started crying non-stop before opening her bright pink lips and saying in a trembling voice, "K-Kill me!"
"..." Suddenly for some reason after hearing her words Fray's black eye shivered and although it wasn't clear from his expression a faint sad look appeared in his eyes.
(She will be so valuable in the future I can't kill her now...No! No! If I leave her alive, I can't even predict what effect that will have on the curse... The best option is to kill her) Fray thought with a complicated expression as he looked at the girl's face, whose crying got stronger for some reason after she looked at Fray's face
"Fray don't feel guilty just do what you have to do," Zina said with a serious voice as she was wiping tears from her eyes slowlfter hearing Zina's words suddenly for some reason Fray's cold expression became angry and fierce as he said in a furious voice "What? Are you really serious? do you really think I will feel guilty after killing you after all this bul**t you caused? What the fu** you were thinking to do such a stupid thing ?"
The first sacrifice was no one but the third princess of the Lionar Kingdom Zina Fray's ex-fiance and despite despising this truth, Fray really cares about this woman and really appreciates her talent and future ability that's why he couldn't control his anger after hearing her ridiculous statement
( He's angry with me) Zina thought, feeling a strange heavy feeling in her heart as her body trembled uncontrollably in fear of Fray's angry tone before she answered in a broken voice "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry about dragging you in my mess, I wanted to tell you but... "
"Who is responsible for the curse?" Fray asked angrily, interrupting Zina's words, which made him even angrier
"I-I…" Zina muttered in a broken voice, unable to continue her words because of the different emotions pressing on her vocal cords.
" Speak up!" Fray shouted again inpatient
"The Northern Iron Castle, they are responsible for the curse," Zina said in a low voice as her eyes filled with tears again.
"Northern Castle!? Do you know who controls the curse?" Fray asked in a strict voicn fact, curses are caused by black magic, and the person who will execute this black magic is the one who will ignite the curse, and thus he will become the one controlling the curse, and once this person dies, the curse will stop automatically, and in this case, this person is the culprit that the angel is searching for.
"I-I'm sorry I don't know exactly who is in control of the curse..." Zina said in a low voice as she struggled to keep her tears from flowing.
(Damn it!..) Fray cursed in his mind before taking the sword away from Zina's neck and throwing it away, then without saying anything else he turned around and started heading towards the hidden exit.
[The hidden exit is where the door of the room where the space is located]
"..." Zina lowered her head as she bit her lip so hard that blood began to spurt out of it while the tears she had been trying so hard to hold started flowing ceaselessly from her eyes.
[A new clue has been discovered.]
As soon as Fray get out, the eye of the unknown showed a message in front of Frey, but before he could interact with this message, another series of windows appeared from the angel, but only two messages from them caught Fray's attention.
[Failed to stop Third Sacrifice]
[Time left for the curse to be completed: 19 minutes]
"..." Fray
