Chapter 53: Midnight strikes
Hearing Chelsie’s words, Shaan could only swallow hard. Damn. The power of a rune alone turned out to be terrifying, and since its effect could influence his insanity level, he needed to think very carefully before using it.
"Oh... and there’s one thing you need to know, Shaan. Most Daemonists can only use one cursed object, but some Daemonists manage to control the power of more than one," Nalira explained.
"Uhm... what Lira said is true," Chelsie added while sipping the drink in her hand. "However, the risk increases significantly and can endanger the one who wields the cursed object."
’Cursed objects are truly terrifying things,’
"Do you still have any other questions, Shaan?"
Shaan shook his head. "No. I think I already understand enough about cursed objects."
"Uhmm... maybe if you’re still confused, you can just ask both of us. We’ll help as much as we can, right, Lira?"
".... Yes." Nalira nodded her head slowly. "Now, we should rest. I’ll put out this fire so that the creatures of darkness won’t find us. The longer this fire burns, the more dark creatures might realize our existence."
"Uhmm... Lira, but wait a moment."
"What’s wrong, Elsie?"
"What about that simple protective spell you used when you were in the cave?"
Nalira shook her head slowly. "My protective spell can only be used for rooms that are not too large and enclosed. Unfortunately, we’re in an open room and I can’t use my protective spell here at all."
