I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 377 Plargos

"It is like the plague itself empowered by something. This kind of characteristic is similar to the curse." explained Angus.

"Young master Angus, you must be joking, right? If it is a curse, our purification spells will already work in the first place and there will be no plague. Moreover, Our Karum purification spells are one of the tops in Firuman." said the Karum priest leader.

"I hate to admit it. But, when it comes to purifying and fighting a curse, the Karum religion is the best. Unless their priest is too incompetent." said the Afir priest leader.

Hearing this, the Karum priest leader couldn't help but glare at the Afir priest leader.

Before they could bicker any further, "If it is only a normal curse, of course, your purification spells could work. However, after testing it a few times, I am certain that this is a curse." said Angus as he is giving a parchment towards each priest leader.

Inside the parchment is the result of Angus's analysis and test over the past few days.

After reading the test result for a while, "T-This.. Is this accurate??" asked the Temple of Death priest leader.

"Yeah, it is. As you can see there, the corpse contains a trace of unknown high energy that is different from mana, miasma, or other energy that a normal human should have."

"Moreover, the energy did not reduce a little bit until the corpse's body was completely dissolved or completely rotted." explained Angus.

"Still, this is not accurate enough to prove this is a curse. Therefore, I will show you something." added Angus before calling the Royal Guard.

Soon, the Royal Guard brings two corpses inside the tent and puts them on the nearby ground. The corpse is wholly blackened like being burned and releases a horrible rotting smell.

"These two corpses are coming from a few days ago." said Angus before taking out a small rounded sphere and showing it to everyone.

"As you can see, I have a high-quality Ephir in my hand. I plan to use this Ephir to trap this unknown energy in it. If it is an energy produced by some kind of virus, parasite, or other living beings, the trapping will be unsuccessful." explained Angus.

"However, if the corpses truly contain unknown energy similar to mana or miasma that empower the curse, it will immediately be trapped into it." said Angus.

Hearing Angus's explanation, all the priest leaders understood and agreed with Angus. Then, Angus begins to scribe some runes on the ground between the corpses. Everyone is surprised at how fast Angus applies the rune.

Applying rune is exact work and requires a lot of concentration. One wrong move, the rune will explode or be ruined.

However, everyone could see Angus writing the rune as he writes an essay or report in an unknown symbol and character. A few minutes later, Angus finished preparing the rune.

"Alright, I will start the trapping process now." said Angus before putting the Ephir sphere in the middle of his rune.

Then, Angus begins to activate the rune by supplying it with mana. A moment later, the rune starts to shine and a black fog comes out from the corpse.

The black fog seems to be struggling and wants to break free from Angus's rune. During this time, everyone in the tent could feel a dreadful and horrible aura from the black fog, especially the priest leader. All the priest leaders seemed to want to vomit and feel nauseated at it.

"Urggh.. T-This is.." said the Karum priest leader.

Suddenly, Angus supplied more mana to strengthen his rune and finally managed to force the black fog to enter the Ephir sphere. Just as it entered the sphere a little bit, the high-grade Ephir that could even power a Colossus for months immediately shattered.

Looking at this, Angus didn't panic as he already knew this would happen. Then, he begins to look at everyone who is having solemn expression.

Ignoring their solemn face, "I am not sure what this kind of energy is, but it is quite powerful. No, it is so powerful that it may be almost the same as the power from the seventh-grade combatant or more." explained Angus.

Just as everyone wanted to comment, "Plargos!!" exclaimed the Karum priest leader.

"Plargos.. You don't mean??" chimed the Afir priest leader.

"Yeah, I am certain. There is no way I will forget those foul aura." said the Karum priest leader.

"Aren't they supposed to be destroyed?" asked the Temple of Death priest leader.

"Yeah, but I guess there are still some remnants of them." said the Karum priest leader.

"Excuse me? Who or what is Plargos." asked Angus confusedly.

"Ahh.. I apologize, young master Angus. It is normal to know about them since you are still young. Plargos is the Evil God of plague and illness. No one knows why this kind of god exists and has believers."

"Fortunately, a dozen years ago, all its believers were hunted down with the help of the World Alliance and Karum religion group as the spearhead." explained the priest leader of Temple of Death.

"Yeah, it is true. As believers of Karum, the God of Vitality and Wellness, Plargos is our number one enemy. However, I never thought I would again feel this sickening and foul aura." said the Karum priest leader.

"I see… Then, did you perhaps have a way to break this curse or cure the disease?" asked Angus.

"That's the problem, young master Angus." replied the Karum priest leader.

"Hm??" asked Angus.

"Plargos's curse or plague is never simple and same from one with the others. This is also the reason why the World Alliance decided to hunt them down in the first place." said the Afir priest leader solemnly.

"True. Although we have a way to purify the curse, we need a lot of divine power or our holy grail to cure everyone in this city completely. Young master Angus, you may not know this, but it is completely impossible to use divine power at such a scale." explained the Karum priest leader.

"Moreover, only a few people from our main base can use divine power. It is also completely impossible to move our Holy Grail without the higher up permission, " added the Karum priest leader.

"Hmm.. Then, did you have any other solution?" asked Angus.

"Abandon the city and immediately cut our losses before the plague spreads more and gets stronger." said the Karum priest leader.

Hearing this reply, Angus was completely surprised as he didn't expect the priest leader to give up immediately. However, looking at the seriousness of everyone's priest leader, he knew that everyone also didn't have a better idea.

"Oii.. All of you must be joking, right? There are thousands of people out in this city and you tell me to abandon them before trying something completely." rebuked Angus.

"*Sigh* Young master Angus, it is not that we don't want to help further. But, Plargos's plague is completely different from ordinary disease. The disease not only keeps mutating but also getting stronger." explained the Zion priest leader.

"In the past, it even managed to infect uncountable mana users. The only thing we could do now is cut our losses and give up this city." added the Zion priest leader.

Then, Angus couldn't help but release a long sigh before thinking in silence for a while.

"I have a suggestion. What if I was somehow able to lift the curse? Will you be able to heal the infected one." said Angus.

"It should be possible. Unless it is some part that is completely rotted, we can still save and heal the rest. However, young master Angus, I don't think it is possible. Unlike normal curses, the Plargos curse also keeps evolving and getting stronger." said the Karum priest leader.

"Even with the joint effort of all the experts around the world in the past, we still cannot lift the curse without the help of divine power or holy grail. At best, we could only hold it for a certain amount of time." added the Karum priest leader.

"Hmm… Two weeks. Give me two weeks to find a way to lift the curse. After two weeks, if I am still not able to lift the curse, we will abandon this city." said Angus.

"Young master Angus, I suggest…" said the Afir priest leader

Before he continued his sentence, "Stop. This is my final decision. All of you could leave anytime you want and we, the Heart kingdom, will not hold you as a breach of our contract." said Angus.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but release a sigh, especially the Karum priest leader and Anny. In the past, they already saw a lot of stubborn experts like Angus. But, in the end, none of them successfully fight against the Plargos's curse.

Then, they begin to chat about various things for a while before all of them leave Angus in the tent alone. After everyone gets out, Jayna comes inside the tent and sees Angus is sitting on the chair exhaustedly.

Embracing Angus from behind, Jayna begins to give some simple massage to his neck and shoulder. At the same time, Angus enjoys her massage in silence.

"Angus, are you able to find a way to lift the curse? No, you already found the way, right?" asked Jayna.

"Hee.. How did you know?" asked Angus.
