500 Edepes Kingdom
“It was within the Edepes Kingdom,” these have been Belisarius’ phrases when he arrived inside Lucas’ examine.
“Edepes?” Rosalind, who was inside Lucas’ examine, instantly frowned. Prior to now, the warfare had began due to Edepes as effectively. She couldn’t assist however surprise if this was all associated.
“The darkish matter is beginning to unfold… no matter is inside that place is summoning demons, and we have to destroy it,” Belisarius then turned towards Rosalind. “Edepes isn’t any extra. Hordes of demons have now invaded the place. It was darkish and… a spot the place low-level demons might reside.”
“Low ranges… have been you capable of spot the next demon?” Lucas requested.
“Sadly not. I believe… it’s already in one of many Empires. We can’t be too careless this time,” Belisarius added.
“How are you going to cease this darkish matter from spreading?” Rosalind requested. She might vaguely bear in mind one thing like this within the flashes of reminiscences.
If she was proper, this darkish matter would destroy every little thing in its wake. All vegetation and even the land. The unhappy factor about this was the truth that as soon as the darkish matter is already there, the land can by no means return to what it was prior to now.
She tried to recall one particular reminiscence the place she noticed the darkish matter. At the moment, they have been combating hordes of demons and… “The darkish matter would assist demons multiply… The demons are born from that darkish matter!”
The conclusion left her speechless and scared on the identical time. She instantly received up and checked out Lucas. “How are we going to cease it?”
“We have to discover the supply and…” Belisarius sighed. “We have to destroy it. Nevertheless, I believe that the supply is in the midst of Edepes, surrounded by demons. It could be very laborious to retrieve it.”
As soon as a demon died, one other demon would rise from the darkish matter. This was one thing that Belisarius needed to say. “Lachlan and Josephine are already going to Korusta to tell Lachlan’s father. They’re planning to cease the present battle towards Sloryn to have a gathering about this matter.”
“As soon as we retrieve the article and destroy it then… the Howling Mountains would additionally relax,” Belisarius added.
“So… how are you planning to struggle the demons?” Lucas calmly requested.
“Are you not going to assist us?”
“Assist?” Lucas eyed Rosalind. “I’ll assist.”
“I imagine we have to examine Edepes first,” Rosalind uttered. She wanted to see if the darkish matter that he was speaking about was the identical because the darkish matter that she noticed within the reminiscences.
This time, Lucas had no objection. They used Belisarius’ capacity to teleport and landed in a close-by valley only a few kilometers away from Edepes. Rosalind’s coronary heart pounded in her chest the second she laid eyes on the place that was as soon as known as Edepes.
Prior to now, Edepes was surrounded by a thick forest. The place that prided itself on its magnificence and wealthy tradition now lay in ruins.
“Maybe, the
higher-ranking demon has it,” Rosalind already thought of this earlier. For her, this reasoning truly made sense.
The demons seamlessly acted like people. It could be logical for the demons to cover the article by themselves to keep away from detection. Then, they might watch because the people tried to destroy the horde of demons on Edepes considering that the article was there.
“You can’t sense it if… the demon is not going to use it once more,” Lucas calmly defined.
“We solely have a couple of extra hours earlier than the barrier breaks…,” Belisarius defined. “I imagine it’s best that we give you a greater resolution to avoid wasting this continent.”
“Is there some other approach?” Rosalind requested.
“Maybe, you possibly can do away with the darkish matter if you should use your gentle and darkish blessings on the identical time. As soon as that occurs, the one who summoned them would naturally really feel it and would possibly reveal itself,” Belisarius mentioned.
“Or, they use that object to summon extra demons,” Lucas added.
“That might be not possible. No matter that object is… I’m virtually sure that it might want a variety of sacrifice for the demon to have the ability to use it. Similar to us, the demons’ talents have been sealed the second they arrived on this place. So… their talents are restricted,” Belisarius mentioned.
Listening to this, Rosalind couldn’t assist however have a look at Lucas.
“Then I’ll strive your methodology…,” Rosalind uttered.
“As soon as you utilize your capacity, the demons will certainly come…,” Belisarius mentioned. “We are going to stand by your aspect.”
Rosalind checked out Lucas, and he nodded with out saying one other phrase. Though Rosalind was fairly sure that Lucas would in all probability teleport her out of this place if a mistake occurred. Nonetheless, she thought Lucas’s approval was adequate.
“In case you can not do it…,” Lucas uttered. “There isn’t a must power your self. We are able to simply run away.”
“Run away?”
“I do know a spot the place demons can not come.”
“Lucas, is that this actually the time to talk such nonsense?” Belisarius interjected.
“A spot the place demons can not come?” Rosalind couldn’t assist however frown. Nevertheless, Lucas solely shrugged, selecting to not delve into the subject.
