Not finding the desired answer from the Azrec did not make Lyan give up, he believed there was still a way to save the inhabitants of the Continent of Light.
Lyan looked up at the night sky. For a moment he was reminded of his journey with Hex for two months. Although only briefly, it cannot be denied if the man has become one of the important people in his life.
This made the young man no longer want to see the death of a meaningful person in his life. He also did not want that to happen to the ancient tribe that had been taking good care of Yuna and Soul all along.
Lyan breaths for a moment and closes her eyes, trying to find a way to break Astaroth's curse by recalling the memories of Endless who once flowed into her head when she got Rain's power.
Lyan clenched her teeth. He felt his head dizzy as he tried to recall the memories of the god within his head. It was impossible for Lyan to be able to recall all the memories of a god that lived for billions of years. What was recorded in Lyan's brain were only memories that he thought were important.
Twenty minutes have passed. Lyan still had not found a single memory of the god that led her to undo Astaroth's curse.
It did not feel like time had been rolling for an hour and Lyan was still not moving from the spot. Although he had yet to find a way to undo Astaroth's curse, Lyan still did not want to give up because seeking information from the god's memories was the last way he could do it.
Not long after, Lyan suddenly felt her body become light and comfortable.
Lyan immediately opened his eyes, visible to him were hundreds of small black spheres coming out of his body before being annihilated into dust.
“This ..” Lyan remembers seeing hundreds of little balls like this first. “Isn't this Malapateka?”
Catastrophe is a curse that he got after ascetics like Master Gyo and Laxus took over his body. As Lyan remembered the hundreds of small balls were a form of the curse. It was Asmodeus who told him and helped him eliminate this curse.
Because Master Gyo had taken over his body again, a calamity re-emerged. But the curse is now suddenly gone for no apparent reason. Lyan immediately got up to his feet and inspected the surroundings.
“Devils can only be obliterated by the Devil of Sin and the Wise God. If one of them is here, I have to find him immediately.”
*****
An hour before after Lyan came out of the tent, not long after that Yuna also came out from there.
The woman stopped stepping and looked at the night sky with a chaotic feeling. Her feelings still felt uneasy after hearing the bad news from Venom.
A handful of memories passed with the ancient tribe are still imprinted in his memory. Makes Yuna even more agitated and unsettled.
“No, I can't keep this up.”
Yuna realized just contemplating it would not bring about change. There is no point in just thinking about it without doing anything. Yuna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After feeling calm, he looked back at the sky.
“Not only me and Youl, Master Gyo also looks very hit.” Still imprinted in Yuna's memory when Master Gyo looks angry at Hex when he hears the bad news.
“Lyan is the same. Right now he might be looking for a quiet place to calm down.”
“I don't want that bad thing to happen. I can't let my comrades' feelings get ruined because of this either. Therefore, I have to do something.”
Yuna walked through the surrounding tents and exchanged greetings when meeting with the tribe members she met along the way.
Not long after Yuna's steps stopped at a small tent, she went inside, seen a man writhing with his legs and hands tied.
The man is Joe who was arrested by the Dark Side several months ago. Ever since it was caught the Dark Side did something to it so its power could not be used. It made him like a helpless weakling now.
“What you want from me actually ...,” Joe's voice sounds weak.
Yuna approached and stopped in front of her.
“My reason is to ask the Dark Side to arrest you because this is a request from the king of the roo tribe. I'm sure you know him.”
Joe's eyebrows shot up. “Di-he's here?!"
Yuna nodded her head. Joe let out a long sigh before his lips curved into a smile. He remembered a handful of memories that had been passed with the king of the roo tribe.
“After what I did to her, she must still hate me so much. I am also the one who has made him leave this continent.”
Joe still longs for the friendship that once existed between them. That had to be destroyed after he became Zemus' right hand.
“If he wants to take his revenge on me, at least have him do it himself. Alu deserved it after everything I did to her.”
“Actually I've wanted to bring you guys together. But after I experienced the awakening, I changed my mind and waited for the right time.”
Yuna placed her palm over the man's head.
“And the moment I've been waiting for has arrived. As you wish, I will reunite you.”
Joe's body trembled for a moment after his spirit was slowly sucked into Yuna's palm. When his spirit has left the body and is sucked completely by Yuna, Joe finally breathes his last.
Yuna immediately sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes after successfully swallowing the man's spirit.
‘After successfully absorbing all the spirits of the tribe leaders, I gained enlightenment and finally found out about something extraordinary. Something not only possessed by humans but also gods, demons and Gaia. Something that all living things of the universe must have in order to look to tomorrow and survive. By fulfilling the promise of the spirit I have the opportunity to summon him. I must succeed in order to save the inhabitants of this continent.’
