Chapter 173: The Tin Knight and The Witch’s Conference
After the battle with Cap’n Bill’s crew, Dorothea had to rest for the remainder of the voyage.
While the wounds themselves were quickly healed thanks to Sophia, it was impossible to create the blood that had left her body with holy power.
Lying in the ship’s bedroom, Dorothea said, “That Captain Bill or whatever, no, even that ship and crew. This probably isn’t the end.”
[The ‘Tin Knight’ expresses agreement, saying he thinks so too!]
Adelaide’s eyes widened, “Even though they were so thoroughly crushed by Sir Knight?”
“Physical damage isn’t what’s important. The curse of ‘being unable to die’ that’s on them is a serious issue. Unless we do something about it, they’ll probably revive and come at us again and again. The problem is…”
Dorothea closed her eyes for a moment and steadied her breathing as if feeling dizzy, but soon continued, “…we don’t have a proper way to lift that curse right now. I tried to interpret it a few times while watching them fight, but the level is too high. I’m not even sure if it’s actually magic to begin with.”
She added that if anything, it resembled the power of the “dwarf” they had seen in the tower before.
Although she hadn’t received the graduation certification from the Witch of the East, Dorothea was in fact a top-tier mage even considering the entire continent.
But even Dorothea had to throw up her hands in the face of such a curse, which could be a considered a necromancer’s specialty.
Adelaide said, “Then, is there no way to deal with it?”
“Even if they don’t care about minor injuries, if we thoroughly physically crush them like this time, it should take quite a while for them to revive. Or we could incapacitate them ‘without killing’ and seal them somewhere, that’s also an option.”
