....

As I see all of my things, I begin to ask Twelve what to do next after this, after I and the others enter the Tower, then there will be no turning back.

" That is sufficient for now. " Twelve says to me while I wait for inquisitor Kara to get her equipment while looking at the System.

As I see my statuses and check things up using the [Twelve Eye of Time], I see and learn from the future vision that the Tower Raid is filled with blood, suffering, and death which suddenly spooks me.

< Fear +1.000 >

< Panic +1.000 >

"( Relax Ragna... )"

"( Don't panic, if you panic then the people who saw you will mock you for your behavior. )" I say to myself, trying to hold the sight of that disastrous vision I just saw.

A vision of despair, fitting for what one would expect from what fate awaits in the Tower of Demons, the fate that no one wants to have.

" Fate worst than death... " I speak in a low voice while shivering after seeing the future, even if I tried my best to hold my reactions after seeing it.

"( How do you feel? )" Twelve asks Telepathically since we're at the

< Skill: System Communication [Passive] -- lvl.6 >

< Enable the Player to communicate with the residents inside the System Space physically, telepathically, or by System Message. >

"( Never so frightful than before, Twelve. )"

"( Now I understand why this Tower is called the 'Abyss Tower'. )" I say to Twelve as I close my eyes and leave my seat for to take time to myself before entering the Tower with the others.

As I left, I then suddenly bumps into someone which shocks me as I was too focused to see things from the furthest future but forget to see what was in front of me.

" I'm sorry, miss.... " I say sorry to the woman I hit and then gasps as I immediately recognize who I just bumped into.

"( This woman, no way.... )" I gasped as I see the Battle Maiden herself in front of me with her eyes closed by her headband as always.

"( Gah... what should I say? )"

" Gulp.... )"

" Umm.... Battle Maiden....? "

" I'm so sor.... "

" Hold it right there...!!!! " said one of the priestesses who accompanies the Battle Maiden as she immediately uses her Gift to attack me which I immediately Parries with my own hand.

" Grrkk... Thunder Element Gift... " I says to himself as the System suddenly shows.

< (!) WARNING (!) >

< (!) WARNING (!) >

< The Divine Curse: Yakan's Heavenly Restriction has been triggered due to the Player's interaction with its element [Thunder]. >

< (!) Important (!) >

< From now on the Player should avoid anything that had things with Thunder like Thunder Gift attacks, Thunder Magic or etc etc. >

< But, the User can still use electrical things since it is safer. >

"( Really System, you're telling this now!!!!! )" I angrily shouts using telepathy to the System for I was very pissed at the time about why I was not warned earlier, but the System replied to me that.

< I've already warned Player Ragna Current back then, but Player Ragna Current won't listen, for Player Ragna Current is.... > the System's message was interrupted as another thunder attack then comes into my direction.

" Grrkkk.... "

< Gift Energy Intangible Shield >

With that, I made the Intangible Shield with his Gift Core's Energy as it also weakens the Divine Curse Effect as the Black Gift Core I have now drained its power.

" Ragna you bastard!!!! " the Divine Curse shouts in anger as her Divine Energy was being absorbed by my Core.

" Now Deflect!!!!! " I say as I deflect the thunder attack from hitting me.

< Air Fissure Make Bullet >

As I use the skill, I immediately cast fissure-make bullets made from the air around me, nine of them, and then shoot them at the Priestess as it hits her stomach, her limbs, and her head. Giving not just Critical Damages but also weakens her.

" That's what you get for what you intend to do with me. "

< AP +2.000 >

I increase my Aether in order to suppress the Divine Curse's influence rapidly in order to stabilize myself before the curse effects go further.

Extra:

* The Divine Curse's Level is decreasing since Ragna's growth using the Aether slowly suppresses its influence on Ragna's body.
