The day at Apricot Hall was marked by the arrival of a group of patients with puzzling conditions.
Despite their best efforts and various treatments, Caylie and Duncan found that their usual methods
were ineffective.
The root cause of the patients’ ailments remained a mystery, cluding their understanding.
The news of this unusual situation quickly reached Emrys, prompting him to hurry to Apricot Hall. Upon
his arrival, he couldn’t help but notice an unusual bluish-purple aura, reminiscent of demonic energy,
hovering ominously over the patients’ foreheads, clearly the cause of their distress.
Faced with such demonic energy, Emrys knew that conventional medical practices and acupuncture
would not alleviate the patients’ suffering.
With no other options, he resorted to his knowledge of magecraft to address and dispel the demonic
energy afflicting them.
Further investigation revealed a common thread among the patients; they all came from Yarwood
Village and had recently consumed the spring water there, which seemed to be the source of their
illness.
This discovery led
arys to focus his attention on Yarwood Village for further investigation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
Yarwood Village was a peaceful settlement nestled in the southern reaches of Jadeborough, untouched
by modern industrial pollution.
The villagers had always relied on the crystal-clear mountain springs for their drinking water, a tradition
that had continued for generations.
However, recent events had cast a shadow over this idyllic source, with villagers experiencing
unexplained illnesses after consuming the spring water.
Armed with this knowledge, Emrys embarked on a solitary expedition into the mountains, following the
river to its source in hopes of uncovering the root of the problem.
His journey led him to a cave near the spring’s origin, where he was greeted by a surge of demonic
energy emanating from within.
Seems I’ve found the source of the trouble.
Using True Sight, Emrys carefully scanned the cave’s interior, focusing on areas where the malevolent
energy was strongest. It didn’t take long for his gaze to settle on an object nestled within the cave’s
stream, its subtle glow piercing the darkness.
A demonic magic item!

Emrys instantly recognized the object as the cause of the demonic energy plaguing Yarwood Village, a
nefarious item infused with dark magic.
Just as he was about to retrieve the item and neutralize its threat, a swift figure appeared, seizing the
demonic item before Emrys could react.
The figure’s quick movements and the dim lighting of the cave did little to hide their identity from Emrys,
whose True Sight rendered the cave’s shadows irrelevant. In a burst of recognition and disbelief, Emrys
exclaimed, “Karina!”
“Huh?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected shout, the figure came to a sudden stop, framed by the cave’s
entrance. She turned, her expression cautious and confused, as if trying to place the source of the
voice that had called out to her.
Emrys felt a strong conviction that the woman before him was indeed Karina, one of his sisters, whose
image he had seen in a photograph shown to him by Walter. Although the details in the photograph had
been somewhat obscured, making her face difficult to discern clearly, there was no mistaking her
presence in person.
“Karina, it’s me, Rys,” Emrys called out once more, his voice echoing softly in the cavernous space.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Rys?” Karina hesitated for a moment before cautiously making her way out of the cave. As her eyes
adjusted and Emrys’ features became clear, a spark of recognition lit up her face. “Is that really you,
Rys? I was worried some bad guy was after what I found!”
Emrys couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment at her reaction.
It was far from the emotional reunion he had envisioned, reminiscent of the time Nina had discovered
him, her excitement unrestrained, her embrace almost suffocating.
Karina’s reaction, although filled with joy, did not possess the same level of intensity and warmth that
he had grown accustomed to in such encounters.
Despite the turmoil he felt inside, Emrys chose to keep his doubts to himself. Instead, he took a
moment to observe Karina’s disheveled appearance. With a curious tone in his voice, he asked,
“Karina, what’s with the disarray? You look like you’ve been through quite an ordeal.”
Karina’s beauty was not overshadowed by that of Emrys’s other sisters. In fact, it was difficult to rank
them solely based on looks, as each possessed her own unique charm and allure.
With her exquisite features and delicate visage, Karina could easily captivate anyone who laid eyes on
her. Yet, there she stood, somehow managing to transform herself into a disheveled image, far from the
polished elegance one might expect.
“You know,” she joked with a light-hearted laugh, “if you had emerged from a tomb yourself, I believe
you would look even more disheveled than I do right now!”
