After the body disappeared, I noticed an Aura spread throughout this room, I hadn’t noticed before because this Aura was dormant and integrated with the miasma around, but now that that woman has disappeared the Aura seems to awaken in uncontrollable fury applying a great pressure on all of us.
“…” (I)
“(Seal with your blood…)” (Selene)
I could feel great pressure making my body feel so heavy as if gravity had increased ×50, those around me mostly weren’t able to move.
At that moment I hear Goddess Selene’s voice in my mind and information about a sealing technique pours into my already tired mind.
I didn’t have much time to think, the Aura was getting stronger and stronger and something was glowing inside the six-pointed gem, so I stopped thinking and let my body be guided by instinct with the new information that took over my mind.
“< Blood Ritual: Seal of the Trinity of Blood >” (I)
I slit my wrist and control my blood to form a spiritual rune, a complex magic circle, and an oriental dragon with a serpent body.
Soon the Dragon goes around the magic circle and bites the tip of its own tail, in addition, the Rune made of my blood separates into other Runes that have integrated into the magic circle.
After that, I feel the blood seal is complete and I controlled it to hit the six pointed star shaped jewel, when this happens I feel the seal absorb my vitality and Aura continuously.
“Argh!!!” (I)
Ding!
I hear a signal from the system, but I don’t have time to see it right now, my whole body is weakening.
In a few seconds, I see a red energy spread through the room and suppress this Aura back to the jewel, in the end, the seal is completed with red Dragons that seem to be metal debts coming out of the ritual circle and getting stuck in the jewel, the ritual circle is turned metallic as if it were a lock and the dragons the chain.
“Damn…” (I)
I dropped to one knee due to exhaustion and looking at my status, I noticed that my HP had dropped by half, that considering the large amount of HP I have, besides that I feel my Aura much weaker, I can’t even spread my Aura all over this living room.
I look at the seal on the jewel and feel my Aura in the Dragon chains and in the keyhole formed by the ritual circle.
“(I can’t feel any more of this crystal, but I feel like I can release this seal with a single thought.)” (I)
“Are you okay, idiot master? What was that?” (Layla)
“I’m fine, it looks like the Fragment got out of control by losing its host.” (I)
“It felt like it was just numb from the seal, we were inside its Aura from the start without realizing it.” (I)
“So that was the Aura of a God?” (Sakura)
“No, he was very weak compared to Heretic God Kaharak and he was not at his full power when I met him in my previous life.” (Hela)
“This Aura was even weaker than the Auras belonging to the Demigods, but even then it still had remnants of a God’s will, so only the master and I were able to move.” (Ragnar)
“I’m already used to feeling even more powerful Auras and the Master is a son of the Goddess Selene, so we resist better.” (Ragnar)
“What should we do with it now?” (Vanessa)
“Let’s leave it somewhere uninhabited in the Dungeon until we know what to do with it, we can’t leave it here or another madman might come along with a big excuse as to why he deserves to get it.” (I)
“Now that we’ve broken all seals, I agree that we can’t leave this here any longer.” (Nix)
So let’s rest a little longer here before continuing on our journey, I say this to the others and lie on the dusty floor while I recover, I even drink some potions to speed up the recovery process.
———–
While recovering I saw Vanessa sweating with wide eyes as she walked from place to place, looks like she was seriously thinking about something so I left her with her thoughts, I know if it’s something really important she will tell me sooner or later.
While resting I started to think about this place, during the travel time to get here we found some Dungeons, by the size of this place and the distance of each Dungeon we can assume that there must be around ten Dungeons or maybe even more in this place.
We didn’t go into any since we were on a rescue mission, but I was thinking that if there were any dungeons that specialized in Spectral-type Undead it would be good to stop by, it would help increase the number of cores of these monsters or maybe even create more Phantom Orbs with the help of Hela.
I was also thinking about the Cursed Dungeon in the castle, that place from what I hear is a Catastrophe Grade Dungeon, I’ve never been in a Cursed Dungeon, but I’m definitely not going to go into this one.
Also, this Dungeon should never be conquered, this type of Dungeon does not have a Dungeon Core, conquering means defeating the Dungeon boss or ending the source of the curse.
I’m not even going to try any of that, besides looking like too much work, it could start a war, this Cursed Dungeon is the main responsible for the miasma in this region with the other Dungeons giving periodic help during the Monster Waves.
If this Cursed Dungeon that is possibly the highest ranked is destroyed, then it would only be a matter of time before people start destroying most of the Dungeons in this place while building new cities near the Dungeons that are left over to be a source of resources.
Also without this place separating these various Realms around, there will definitely be a war to expand to this place, something like that would be bad, so I won’t go anywhere near that place.
“(But if it wasn’t for concern of a possible war, then there would be an interesting thing to try.)” (I)
“(This place has so much miasma, plus I have a good amount of DP accumulated, I would have to check with Nix, but I have a feeling it would be possible.)” (I)
“(But I have to put those thoughts aside, the time has come to leave this land of the Undead and continue our journey.)” (I)
“Why did this happen!?” (Vanessa) .
While I was lost in my crazy thoughts, I ended up listening when Vanessa exclaimed loudly, her voice full of frustration for something, I also noticed that everyone had worried faces.
“Guess I’ll have to find out…” (I)
