"Sigh, there is no other option…" Feritt mumbled in a low voice as he looked at the condition of Luke and his companions who were in miserable conditions because of exhaustion
"Ferritt, what are you mumbling, let's go?" Casper shouted as he noticed Ferritt's strange expression.
(Their strength has exceeded my expectations, especially Luke what a terrifying man, but I can't hold back now) Ferritt thought as he took a piece of paper with strange symbols written on it out of his pocket.
"Look out …" Lisa, who noticed the strange paper, exclaimed loudly
*energy chains*
Before anyone could react to Lisa's shouting Ferritt quickly tore the paper. Thus, the paper turned to radiate golden energy which then formed into several golden-colored chains and started targeting Luke, Casper, and the others.
"What?…" Luke
"That b***d..." Caspelthough the chains weren't that fast, because of the group's fatigue from fighting, none of them had enough strength to escape from it. Thus, Luke, Casper Aslan, Lisa, Noelle, and Leo, the two siblings were all tightly bound by the golden chains.
"Ferritt, what are you doing? " Noelle screamed in an angry and confused voice as she looked at one of the persons she trusted the most
"Sorry, Your Highness, you guys forced me to do this," Ferritt said in a serious voice as he looked at Noelle's angry face.
"Ferritt, why are you doing this?" Luke asked with a confused face. Unable to understand why Ferritt is behaving like this.
"You're the one the angel is looking for, aren't you?" Lisa asked in a serious voice after getting to a specific conclusion
"..." After hearing Lisa's question, everyone looked at Ferritt with expressions of disbelief, waiting to hear his answer.
"Yes, you are right, I was the one who was the reason behind this curse," Ferritt said, examining the group members who were tightly bound by their hands and feet.
"What? Are you serious? How could you carry out such a terrorist attack on the Lionar kingdom that you are supposed to protect?" Noelle yelled angrily after hearing Ferritt's words.
"Sorry, Princess, I had to do this," said Ferritt with a complicated expression
"Do you think you'll survive after betraying Lionar kingdom like this ? I promise you won't!" Noelle screamed angrily, losing he nerves completely.
"I…" Ferritt who wanted to answer Noelle suddenly and without completing his sentence stopped and looked in a certain direction with a complicated expression, then without saying anything started to move towards the magic circle…
"60 meters from here, northwest, there's a group of people go bring them here," Ferritt said, after approaching the remaining guard.
"Alright, sir…" The surviving guard, despite his confusion and not understanding of what exactly was happening, decided to just obey orders and head off to the place Ferritt had described without asking any questions.
After Ferritt completed his way until he stopped in front of the body of the unconscious man, who was floating in the middle of the magic circle. As Everyone watched, he took out another strange piece of paper with more complex symbols drawn on it, then placed it on the corpse's chest. Thus, as soon as the paper came into contact with the sacrifice, the paper suddenly turned completely black and at the same time the magic circle started to emit strange black energy, Ferritt sat in the middle of the magic circle and slowly started absorbing the black energy.
"What a cursed energy, what is going on here?…" Loe asked as he looked at the cursed black energy that started to surround the magic circle.
"It looks like he's getting desperate, look at the countdown, it's increased," Aslan said in a serious voice as she looked at the countdown, which had increased by about ten minutes.
"Ah, yeah, you're right. Looks like Fray managed the stop the first sacrifice," Leo said
(The Master succeeded in dealing with the hardest sacrifice while I failed in dealing with this one, damn it..) Casper thought with an unhappy expression.
And Casper wasn't the only one who was thinking about this idea, as all members of the group felt indescribable shame from their terrible failure, although Fray literally showed them what they had to do, they still failed miserably.
(Damn it! I can't break these chains, we can't do anything Our only hope...F***) Luke thought with an ugly expression after realizing that he was actually unable to stop Ferritt in his current state, but he nevertheless decided to try another desperate move "Ferritt You are endangering the lives of many innocent people, please stop now it's not too late!" Luke shouted loudly.
But Ferrit at this moment was in a state of deep contemplation so as Luke expected, Ferritt didn't give him any answer
*****
"This Formation contains the black magic incantation that will control the curse rituals, in other words, this Formation will take on the role of controlling the curse, so it will be impossible for the angel to know your identity no matter how hard he tries," said an unknown middle-aged man with a serious voice as he looked at a young man in his twenties, sitting across from him
"But you didn't tell me exactly what the curse was?" the young man asked in a serious voice
"According to the information we have about this curse, it steals the blessing of the Law of War to give anyone the title of War General, who will gain the power of one of the four legendary war generals, who can give any of his subordinates the title of War Soldier, but because this blessing is cursed, anyone Obtaining it will also lose his humanity and become a deformation of the legendary war general who is called the Undead General," the unknown man said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I understand," the young man replied in a stern voice
"Alright, good, you should also know that this Formation can actually perform two types of rituals. The first is the normal curse ritual if this ritual succeeds, enough blessings will be summoned to create four war generals with their full power. And the war generals that will be created will be loyal to us as the owners of the formation, the second ritual absorbs the life energy of the human sacrifice and summons the cursed blessing energy directly, but the only one who can absorb this energy directly is the owner of the formation. Thus, he can become a weaker version of the original undead general, although this ritual only provides a weaker version of the original undead general it is much faster than the first ritual, and it will also make you maintain your awareness, so if you fail to perform the first ritual for some reason, you can use the second..." The unknown man said as he looked at the young man's face with sharp eyes.
