Lady of Imperfection [ON-GOING]

Chapter 25: Church of Curses [Heather]

After eating, we had a discussion on how to revoke the curse this time.

"So, what now?" I consulted. Thea had handed me back my bonnet. It is quite hot out here, but the cold breeze makes everything tolerable.

"I'm going in." Darius stated that made me face him. What's he on about now?

"What?!" Is this guy fucked up in the head? He's cursed and what's worse, he's the stubborn type.

"I'll be right back. We need to know how many enemies we have and how dangerous they are. It would be such a pain of one of them are gifted with the God of Curses' power." Darius stipulated.

I scrunched my nose and sighed. "Be careful, then. Don't engage. You can't hurt humans."

"I know, I know. I don't have an IQ of a five year old." No, but you're extremely arrogant and reckless.

Darius returned, panting. His shoulders were draped and stiff.

"This is bad." He said, sitting on a boulder.

"Define bad." I told him.

"Most of them are just normal followers. But, five of them are seemed to be blessed." He stated, raising all five of his fingers.

"By his power?" I asked. Is the God of Curses really that strong?

"No. Something even worse. Three of them equips a holy weapon and the other have two heavenly weapon." I might've an idea what those are. I'm pretty sure the game mentioned Adam having a heavenly weapon from the God of Rage. But, other than that, there was nothing else.

"Can you further explain what those are?" Why is he so hang up about it?

Darius sighed. "I'll explain from the weakest to strongest. The holy weapon as the weakest, it's just a normal weapon that has been blessed by the gods. A heavenly weapon is something the god's crafted specifically to be gifted to humans. And, celestial weapons are those of the god's, themselves. The weapons they actually use." Wow, we are damned, aren't we?

"That is bad." My lips turned into a thin line.

"What's worse is that, I could actually die if ever I get stabbed in the heart or decapitated by these weapons." What...? That's how powerful these weapons are? The game did try its best to describe the fight scene but I didn't know that it was this dangerous.

"Even by just the holy weapons?" I didn't know that weapons like these actually affect demigods that much.

"Well, maybe I could regenerate with those, but it would take too much energy and mana. This is not an ideal job for us. If I could die by them, then, you and this maid will be in grave danger. Keir could fight back, only he would be able to, if push comes to shove." Darius explained. We are in a predicament...

"I see... Then, let's just steal their weapons." I mean, that's a very easy fix. I'm such a genius!

"Human, I knew you were crazy enough to challenge me, but now, I'm convinced that you have some screw lose." I grinned at his remark. What can I do? It's the only thing I know.

"If you put it like that, maybe I am insane." I have always loved a good challenge, this also applied on fighting. It actually gravitates more on that path. Fighting and Martial Arts were the reason why I got close to dad, so I treasure it within my heart, so dearly.

Darius groaned. He's either annoyed or stressed, or maybe a little bit of both.

"Human, why would you put yourself in a situation where you could die?" He moved his arms around, huffing.
