Looking at the faces of the five girls I understood that all of them wanted to save the empress with all their strength, but I don't know if I will be able to help them, first let's see how she is and then I will try to do as much as possible.
Kamisora Reo "Girls I don't know if I can help but I will do my best to help, I don't know how you feel but if a dear relative of mine were in danger of his life I would be like you. So let's go to the empire immediately to resolve the issue" I said opening the space door again
All five looked at me with gratitude, Aquata was especially happy to know that I would help them.
Delta "thank you kid, even if we are strangers it really helps us a lot, you can also call us sisters in the future. I am Delta" he said
Aquata "I-I'm Aquata" she said shyly, how cute
Aquarius "I am Aquarius and I am the youngest of the four mermaid sisters, thank you for your help Reo" she said
Kamisora Reo "You're welcome, your names are beautiful and it suits you too" I said with a smile
Asaka "R-Reo don't smile at normal people in the future, I risk killing them. Anyway, I'm Asaka and I'm like their adopted daughter" she said seriously
Delta "don't say that, you're almost our age and therefore you're a sister" she said
Asaka "y-yes Delta" said both happy and embarrassed
Kamisora Reo "ok, since we introduced ourselves let's go because I could accidentally break the same space if I keep the door open too much" I said seriously because I was starting to see that the space around the door was becoming unstable
Delta "ok Reo" said as he was about to enter the door, but someone I speak
Grandma Bianca "Um, can I come too?" she asked
Delta "if I'm not mistaken you made an agreement with the empress in the past which said that no one could go to the other's border" he said
Grandma Bianca "true I remember it, but it's always boring to stay in the same space after so many years, especially when all the ice has melted because of someone" she said looking in my direction
Kamisora Reo "sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, if you want I'll make this valley freezing again" I said proposing to use the system's help to find a solution
Grandma White "There's no need, but I just want to see how the Empress is doing after all this time," she said seriously.
Delta "ok but if you feel something" he said as he releases his aura
Grandma Bianca "ok ok"
So we all walked in the door.
In the capital where the entrance was, a door was opened and from there the 6 people came out first and then me.
Kamisora Reo "now we've arrived, wow how convenient is this power of mine" I said happily
Water "you're right, and if I had it I could make many trips to many places" he said
Delta "don't use your mind game against Reo," he said
Water "tsk, you discovered me" she said annoyed
Kamisora Reo "Now what should I do?" I asked
Delta "you will come with us to the underground of the capital to meet the Imperial sister" he said as he began to fly
Kamisora Reo "ok, but how can you fly?" I asked because I was surprised when I saw them flying
Delta "you will understand it simply when you reach a state of mastery over your strength, but this only happens when you reach the Sky Realm, so if you work hard you will too" he said kindly.
Kamisora Reo "Thanks for the information" I said as I tried to fly
I tried to jump but I only jumped up and I didn't want to at all, I tried to use the energy to fly and with this I managed to stabilize myself and float in the sky without falling.
Happy I tried to increase the speed.
Little by little I got used to it and was able to fly as I wanted, surprising everyone because they thought it would take me longer.
Usually when someone enters the sky realm they start learning to fly, then at rank 3 or 5 you are able to fly faster, at rank 9 you can fly freely like I did.
Delta "Reo now let's go" she said while she was still surprised but by now she was used to my exploits that surpass common or even superior logic
Kamisora Reo "ok Delta" I said as I wanted him next to me while there were also Aquata, Aquarius, water, Asaka and White Grandma following
After entering the interior of the capital it was as I thought, the houses were made of materials with energy and were also large, there was also more Qi in the air and it was completely different compared to outside which there was also a lot of Qi, but not like here.
Kamisora Reo "I feel like there's more energy here," I said
Delta "it is normal for there to be more, here there is also a Qi Collection Formation which allows this area to have more concentration" he said
Kamisara Reo "I understand, that's why I see formations around the capital" I said
So without much chatter we arrived at the entrance to a castle made of material that was unknown to me, but which I believe has a higher value than anything else there.
Delta "down here is the empress, miracomando if you can't resist the curse then tell us we'll go outside immediately" he said seriously
Kamisora Reo " yes I understand, anyway what happened to make the empress end up in this state? " I asked curiously
Hearing my words all the girls remained silent, but then Asaka got courageous and told the whole story of the Empress from beginning to end.
When I started listening I didn't find anything wrong, but as Asaka spoke I became angrier, knowing what had happened to the Empress in the past, I couldn't help but express my feelings.
Releasing a cold and sad aura before I knew it, I saw that the girls had been influenced.
Kamisora Reo "s-sorry I didn't mean to do it on purpose" I said filling my anger
Delta "n-it's okay Reo, but what you heard must not have been leaked to anyone" he said also looking at Grandma Bianca
Kamisora Reo "Don't worry because I won't do it even if they threaten me" I said
Grandma Bianca "I won't say it either, knowing this really shocks me. If I had been there maybe I could have helped her. Too bad" she said sighing with sadness for the empress
So continuing to walk inside, I saw many things like swords or armor, apparently it was the treasurer.
As I slowly went down the corridor, I felt a sort of evil energy trying to corrode my soul, but it couldn't do anything because my Spiritual energy was infinite.
As we continued walking we reached the end where there was a black door that was sealed by Runes that spelled out magical seal words that I knew because I had Ranic knowledge.
Delta "wait until I open the door and then we'll go in" he said as he wrote the words access rubrics with his fingers in the air
After four symbols sticking to the door, the door began to open.
Inside you could see a garden of special plants that absorb negative energies and curses, in the middle there was a crystal containing a girl who seemed to be 17 years old.
I don't know why he looked young, but cracks could be seen on the crystal and strange, black energy was being released from them, that was presumably the curse.
Delta "day by day the treasure is wearing out and that's why sooner or later it won't hold the curse and will break, Reo can you see if you can find a way to stop the curse and save the Imperial sister" he asked from the bottom of his heart
Kamisora Reo "ok I'll try, but I can't guarantee anything" I said approaching while the five girls and the grandmother remained at the edge of the garden
In front of the crystal I looked at it for a while and then touched it.
[Ding, You touched the seal, do you want to unlock the seal?]
[If you unlock it you won't be able to stop the curse from spreading]
Kamisora Reo { Sakura do you know if I can do anything? }
[Yes Reo, absorb the curse and everything will be solved, but be careful because you have to absorb it all or the curse will defend itself throughout the world]
Kamisora Reo { ok, Thanks so much for the help Sakura }
So I sat down and ran my cultivation manual to absorb all the curse.
Kamisora Reo "girls move away as much as possible" I said as I placed my hand on the crystal
They looked at me for a while and then moved further away as I said.
Kamisora Reo { unlocks the seal }
[Ok Reo]
Suddenly a dark energy came out of the crystal in one gulp, but I absorbed it easily.
Little by little the energy became stronger and stronger but I was still able to maintain stability.
[Ding, You have absorbed the curse, you have obtained the element: Curses]
Hearing the notification, I was surprised but I still had to control the energy to make it come inside me and thus absorb it all and not let even a small trace escape, or it will be a disaster.
Slowly I felt it was getting stronger and stronger while Delta was shocked that I did such a thing.
He knew that if anyone tried to absorb the curse, they would be dead in no time, let alone a male.
But even so I did it, not being able to go in to help, Delta and the girls remained there waiting for everything to end, worried for me and for the empress they could only stay and watch.
They felt helpless but they knew that if they entered, they would die or their life would no longer be as comfortable as it is now.
After half an hour I felt like half the curse had been absorbed from me, but even so it was still tiring, especially because it was now at a terrifying level where I had started to tire.
Holding on I continued to absorb the curse for a good half hour, but even now I had only absorbed 20% of the remaining 50%, now I was really tired.
But I still couldn't give up because I couldn't put everyone in danger by continuing to absorb, I felt that my strength was slowly being consumed even though I could rebuild my strength by 300,000 per second, but apparently it wasn't enough.
Kamisora Reo "w-wow how difficult is this....." I said as I looked at the crystal which was slowly becoming shiny
Inside the crystal you could see that the empress was about to wake up, I didn't know what would happen if she woke up while she still had the curse.
