As soon as the group stood up from the benches, they formed a circle and started whispering.
"What do you think about all this? I think it is pretty weird that he said that there were more groups from outside this world before us. " Cyrus said
"Yes, it was weird, but at the same time, I feel like maybe we have come here to break the spell and help all these people," Denise said.
"We have to continue ascending to find what we are looking for, so I think we can trust them if we find out that the pentagrams that he was talking about are above us," Arthur said.
"They said that the mist shouldn't affect us as much as it affects them, so I think that we wouldn't lose anything just by taking a look. If we think it is dangerous, we can simply retreat and prepare a plan, "Edwin said.
Finally, the only two people that didn't give their opinions on that matter were the Guburg cultivators, so soon the glances of the rest of the group fell on them while they were waiting for their answers.
"I think we should at least give it a try. Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with our mission here, but if we break the spell, it should be much easier to move around, so I think it's worth trying. " Raziel suggested.
"I think the same as her," Gar said as he looked at his daughter.
"Well, I guess we will have to help these people." Cyrus finally said while sighing, before returning to the benches. "Ok, old man. We are going to help you all break that spell, so tell us everything that you know about the mist, the monsters, and the pentagrams. "
"Yes, of course." the elderly man replied, with a smile on his face. "What you need to know about the mist is that it gains strength with altitude, but not only that, it also changes colors, so if you find that the mist is starting to get pink, you should think about turning back, as it would be much stronger than before. As for the crawlers, you should be aware that even though they are blind, they have an excellent sense of hearing and smell, so be careful when approaching one of them. Also, when you ascend enough, you will start finding stranger and stronger crawlers. We don't know exactly why this happens, but we think that they feed on the stronger mist to evolve and get stronger. "
"And what about the pentagrams? Where are they and how do we get there? " Edwin asked.
"As far as I know, there is a pentagram on the roof of this building. As for the others, you will need to leave this place and go to some nearby buildings. The surface is pretty dangerous, so I would not recommend you use it for travel. Instead, I would suggest you make use of the vegetation that covers this building, as it creates connections with the buildings around it that you can use as bridges, "the man explained to the group.
"And how many pentagrams do we need to destroy to break the spell?" Denise asked.
"When the spell was created, there were more than twenty pentagrams spread all across the city. Right now, only three pentagrams are remaining, but they are protected by powerful creatures, with the one on top of this building being the strongest. "
"Then, we only need to separate ourselves into three couples, so each one can go and destroy one of those pentagrams each, right?" Edwin asked.
"We don't know how strong those creatures are, so maybe dividing our group is not a good idea," Raziel said.
"We can try to hunt one of those crawlers. If we see that they can be easily killed by one of us alone, then we divide ourselves so we finish this mission earlier, and if we find out that they are strong, we simply prepare to fight together with each of those monsters and cooperate to defeat them. " Cyrus proposed.
"I think it is a good plan." Arthur accepted Cyrus' plan.
"Me too. Let's go and find out how strong those things are," Denise said.
"Come on, old man, tell us where we need to go to solve all of this so you can live carefree without worrying about dying every day," Edwin said.
"Yes, I will ask some of our men to become guides for you so you can get to the mist safely. From there on, you would have to continue alone, but they would make sure to tell you exactly how to get to the different pentagrams before leaving your side," the elderly man said.
After that, he whistled a bit, before a man neared so he could tell him what to do. In a few minutes, there was a small group of four people ready to guide the cultivators around the mall so they could find the pentagrams and destroy them.
Here it is, today's chapter.
I hope you like it and that you have had a nice day.
See you around.
