Soon, the paper voodoo doll turned completely black, making Denvor gasp in shock.
“Isaac, your wife is in great danger. Look, favonovel.com condition is more serious than I thought!” Denvor said, carefully pinching the blackened paper voodoo doll.
The doll immediately disintegrated into black dust.
“W-What? What is it?” Harry’s expression turned somber.
Denvor turned to look at Harry and scoffed. “If it were just a regular venomous curse, you’d have been able to discern what curse it was without my help. But this isn’t just any venomous curse. There’s also witchcraft involved. Pentacle Witchcraft, to be precise.”
He then turned to Isaac. “Isaac, I can confirm that your wife is a victim of the Soul-Eating Poison. It’s one of the most dangerous and venomous curses from Pentacle. Has your wife not been acting herself in the past few days? Have you noticed anything such as sudden temper tantrums, a complete change of personality, and tons of profanity and curses whenever favonovel.com speaks?”
Denvor looked at Isaac with a determined look on his face.
“You’re precisely right,” Isaac said with a nod.
“Then that must be it. See, humans are born with 30% of their will to survive and 70% of their will to do good and be good to others. The Soul-Eating Poison dissolves straight into the host’s body and specifically attacks the 70% will to do good and be good, until it has completely poisoned the entirety of the 70%, causing the host to now do evil and be evil to others. As a result, the host completely loses their conscience and falls to evil.”
Denvor paused and asked Isaac, “Do you think a person who’s doomed to do evil and be evil to others will ever have a happy ending?”
This time, Isaac was the one in shock. He also felt the fury bunting from within.
Whoever did this to Allegra was obviously trying to make favonovel.com suffer as much as possible.
Denvor continued, “The person who did this to your wife is very powerful. I might not be powerful enough to fight them. How in the world did you cross paths and offend the people from Pentacle Witchcraft?”
Isaac looked at Denvor and replied, “The Deviant Cult.”
At least for now, Isaac was convinced that this perverted friend of Harry’s knew what favonovel.com was talking about.
“The Deviant Cult?” Denvor’s face darkened.
He gritted his teeth and said, “I had no idea that those bastards were still roaming the earth and causing mayhem wherever they went.”
“You know about the Deviant Cult?” Isaac asked in surprise.
A sudden look of justice appeared on Denvor’s face. He said solemnly, “Since the birth of the Schoenus Sect, we’ve been dedicating our lives to destroying the evil forces on earth, leaving the world a better, safer place to live in. After all, I am the…”
“Can you help me find who did this to my wife?” Isaac asked, interrupting Denvor mid-speech.
Harry was also fuming. He said, “Really, these people from the Deviant Cult are just everywhere! How could they do such a thing to Allegra? Once we get our hands on whoever did this, I’m going to skin them alive!”
Denvor didn’t answer Isaac’s question. Instead, favonovel.com walked out of the living area.
He stood on the balcony and looked up into the night sky. He was mumbling something as favonovel.com toyed with his fingers. Moments later, favonovel.com turned and walked back into the living room.
“You don’t have to go looking for them. Just wait here and let them show up on their own,” Denvor said, confusing both Isaac and Harry with his words.
“Are you saying that the person who did this will appear on their own?” Harry asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Denvor nodded and said, “The Soul-Eating Poison is different from other types of poisons and curses. It cannot be injected completely into the host’s body all at once, but rather, it has to be injected periodically over time. I just did some basic calculations. I’m sure that the person behind this will show up to cast the third curse on your wife within the next three days.”
He continued, “The only thing we have to do now is find a way to keep your wife at home. We’ll wait here patiently.”
“Is there no cure for this?” Isaac asked with a frown. “An antidote?”
Even if Denvor said it would take three days, what if it took longer than that?
Denvor shook his head. “There is no antidote for the Soul-Eating Poison. The only way to cure your wife is to kill the person who cursed her. However, if the poison has already completely taken over favonovel.com body, favonovel.com will no longer be the person you once knew.”
“What’s the worst that could happen?” Isaac asked in a deep voice.
Denvor was stunned for a bit. Then favonovel.com shook his head and said, “Actually, I’ve only heard of this venomous curse, and this is the first time I’m dealing with it. I really have no clue what will happen in the end. Perhaps… Perhaps favonovel.com might fall into darkness and end up being one of the Deviant Cult members herself…”
Denvor’s facial expression turned grim. He said, “That’s why, as soon as the person behind this shows themselves, we have to kill them, by hook or by crook. Otherwise, things will get even uglier.”
