Bab 1503: The Lord of Terror

Wizard Basham began mumbling the mysterious Curse. It started with a grunt and slowly grew louder. Soon, the entirety of Marlo City began to hear it.

At that time, most people were asleep other than some carefree nobles, but the Curse quickly broke the silence.

Wizard Basham sensed Archangel Tyrael releasing his Power of the Will, and a ghostly red glow spread out from the Shrine.

When the glow engulfed the palace, the souls were sucked out of the families of the baron, including the servants and the three minor wizards. 

Ten souls entered the Shrine, and the red glow deepened. As Wizard Basham continued to invoke the Curse, the glow continued to spread.

Under the deep and dark sky, frightened civilians dropped before they could even make a sound. Their souls were sucked directly into the Shrine, and their bodies fell lifelessly.
