ARCHDEUS

ARCHENCH(4)

Ryana at Alex's Mature Ceremony. He felt something strange about him when he saw Alex.

His heart was beating faster and he was unable to turn his mind away from the man.

This has never been done by Ryan. For him, he was often the center of everyone's attention but he never experienced emotional fluctuations. But when he and Alex stared at each other, Ryan's mind went blank.

Ryan is 15 years old. He had already undergone the Ceremony of Maturity held at the Presbhenon of Fertilhall.

He also wore the same ceremonial robe as Alex at the time. The robe was very hot and stuffy. He knew it was very uncomfortable. But when he sees Alex wearing it, he can only be pensive for a long time.

As an adult, he certainly understood a few things. The most logical condition when he experiences all of that is ....

I'm in love?

That was all he was able to capture from all his emotional changes. However, he experiences a feeling of inferiotity towards Alex.

Even if I love her, we're impossible together.

Ryan seemed to have found guidance in his life. He has been suffering all this time. He didn't know why his body was this weird. She always smiled but in her heart she was hurt.

But when he realized Alex's figure, he could only feel the warm turmoil within him. As if he had been cleansed of all sins. He only looked at the dandy man but he knew he was not from his world.

It's impossible that we're together, he's in a different world to me. I was a dirty figure while he was still very pure and holy.

Ryana couldn't help but think of dirty things to Alex. But this is different from the others. If she would normally be subject to her lust, but when thinking about that obscene thing to people like Alex, of course Ryana felt guilty and hated that thought. He doesn't want to mess with Alex. To him, Alex was a clean, paper-like figure who had never been struck by ink. That's why he hates his brain which keeps yelling at the request to fornicate.

In Ryana, he categorizes men into two groups. But unfortunately, Alex is in the group he is most reluctant to.

Ryan can only love Alex from afar. Alex is an obsession of unrequited love for him.

The next day, Ryana does her daily activities. He got up early and started washing his face and brushing his teeth.

He is currently staying at a hostel run by Pontheum. This dormitory is larger than the dormitory where he lives in the County of Fertiphile. In addition, all facilities are complete.

"Hey Lacey, get up quick."

Ryana woke up her very lazy friend. Lacey is a very lazy person even more lazy, she can sleep 23 hours a day. If not for his pastoral activity and social life, then Lacey could most likely be a figure who is predicted as a reincarnation of lazy sin.

"Huh? Morning already?"

Lacey tried to open her heavy eyes. But the gravity of the mattress is still too strong to keep him awake.

"Hhhh ...."

Ryan became furious with the habits of his friend. He then climbed up and kicked Lacey's body.

"Hei-hey wake! Fast breakfast!"

"Uuhh .. yes-yes, just a moment. 5 minutes to go."

Ryan became more and more upset. He decides to push Lacey out of bed.

"Wake up and wash your face!"

Lacey could only puff out her cheeks and rise slowly. He rubbed his eyes and went down to the first floor.

The dormitory has several dug wells outside the building. The wells are used as a source of water for washing, brushing teeth, and washing the face. But very rarely water is used for shampooing especially for bathing.

After the two people recovered from the drowsiness, they rushed towards the dormitory cafeteria. As expected of the capital's dormitory, the food was plentiful and luxurious.

They took meat steaks, bread, salads, and honey. Then they sat in the same place.

"Hey, why are you eating in such a hurry?"

Lacey looked at Ryana's depressed expression. He felt that his friend was eating very fast as if he was late for school.

"I have to see High Priestess Feodora this morning."

If it was anyone else they would be confused. Why would a discimpion make an appointment to meet a High Priest classmate? However for Lacey, this was the thing it could be if it concerned Ryana.

"Yes." Yeah."

Ryan just replied weakly. He's feeling very tired now. He was already very embarrassed and suffered from his illness. He hopes he can heal.

♤♤♤

Feodora looked at Ryana with a worried look. The eyes of this high priestess were red as she continued to weep lamenting the suffering of her poor disciple.

Ryana .. a beautiful woman and looks normal. Have an elegant and charismatic attitude. Her smile was like a blossoming flower and her voice was like soothing music.

But who would have thought that this perfect woman turned out to have a disease. A very strange disease. Throughout Feodora's life, he had never seen this disease.

A disease that makes sufferers experience Sexual Hunger continuously.

Feodora could now only hope to the Hexatheist Religious Leader of the Kingdom of Artchania, Pontifex Eliarius.

Ryana did the treatment the day after Alex's Maturity Ceremony. It takes place in an enclosed space with only 8 people in the know.

He has done many things during rituals at Pontheum or at Presbhenon. During the ritual at Pontheum, pontifex already gave him a lot of treatment.

They initially suspected that Ryana's illness came from curse magic. They also gave many types of holy magic but no sign of the curse was lifted.

Then they gave her moderate to extreme treatment like asking her to drink the semen of a young man who had been enchanted with divine magic to suppress her Sexual Wear. But nothing works.

But Pontifex Eliarius did not give up. He paid all attention to the case. He had never heard of or seen a disease similar to this one before.

"Go on your knees."

Eliarius asked Ryana to kneel on the floor which had been depicted a giant magic circle made of scratches of mana stone.

Ryan was kneeling in the middle of the magic circle. Many runes were drawn there. As a discimpion, he didn't really understand these runes as these were extremely complicated runes.

Eliarius approached Ryan. He had a small knife in his hand.

"Can you hold it?"

Ryan nodded. He knows this procedure. This is one of the most extreme and dangerous rituals in his belief. But it has a huge benefit.

Eliarius could only smile bitterly at this woman's determination. This new woman of today dared to perform the Great Exorcist Ritual.

"All right, we're starting."

Everyone was nervous after hearing Eliarius' words.

Eliarius holds Ryan's hair and pulls it back so that the woman's forehead is facing up. Then with a heated knife, Eliarius made a hexagon on the woman's forehead.

"Aaaarrrrrrgggrrrrhhhhh!!!"

Ryan screamed in pain. He wanted to push the knife that carved his head away. Both of his hands are tied. Eliarius gave him magic that left him unable to move.

When he finished, Eliarius moved away from the circle and began to cast spells. The high priest including Feodora also chanted a very long spell.

The magic circle shone for a few minutes. The light from the circle illuminates Ryana's reddened face and has her hexagon-shaped cut.

The light is not just a light. But the light caused a very painful feeling for Ryana's body. It was as if his entire body was covered in wounds and then he was watered with salt water.

"Aarrrrrrghhh!! LT HURTS!! Help!!"

Ryan screamed in pain. The more he hurt, he peed and caused his robe to get wet. The screams and agony continued for several minutes as long as the magic circle was still burning.

Pontifex and the High Priests felt very sorry for this young lady. But he had to endure all that pain. This is the ordeal given when carrying out this sacred medicinal ritual.

After the magic-circle light was gone, Eliarius opened his eyes. Everyone who cast a spell could also only be shocked.

Eliarius's face stiffened and was only able to glare at Ryana in surprise.

"M-I can't be, i-this isn't a k-curse?!"
