Interception

Leora has seen her share of horrors and how they acted during her quest to take over the Curse Kingdom, but compared to the scenes in Pain, the atrocities she had seen in Curse seemed like child's play.

“Why are they not dead, even in this condition?” asked Leora.

“Their bodies had died, having all their blood drained, but their souls are still being kept inside that dead shell by the horror locked here. The more time they spend in this miserable state, the more the horror in here can feed on their suffering to grow stronger,” replied Seth, extending his hand forward and using his energy to cleanse the blood-red fog covering the city.

Leora nodded and spread some of her light around, allowing it to kill the tortured souls hung onto pillars all over the city. Seth sighed, adding, “We’re not here to kill this thing yet, nor to save these people.”

“Huh?” Leora paused and looked confused at Seth.
