Battling the curse spirits got a bit harder. 5 of them appeared to fight us this time. Shank was joining us this time to make 6 now. The introduced themselves as a big new coalition of evil. They were going to take over the valley and enslave everyone that lived here. That was really not a good thing. Not good at all. Their names were Hawnt the Noisy, Flaym the Wild, Shado the Raging, Fyre the Bitter and Gose the Grim. Shank was a fighter. There was nothing he feared. He challenged Gose to a one on one battle. The curse spirit agreed and walked off a little bit. There was still a 5 on 4 battle to be fought. Ras and I took on Hawnt and Fyre. That left the other 3 to fight the other 2. Our synergy was high ang both of us could use healing. I could heal Ras and he could heal himself as well. I was the one that needed to be careful. Together, we managed to whittle them both down to under 40% of their health. The divine binding rituals went off without a hitch. Hawnt the Noisy and Fyre the Bitter were not going anywhere while still stunned. It was just a matter of staking them down.
Catching my breath, I could not help but notice something about these 5 curse spirits. They were much more... shapely than all the others before them. All their fat asses were big. They were almost hanging out of the red rags they covered their waists in. I was still a human with a healthy libido. It had been a while since I had sex with the wife the Osna people had given to me. The markings were in the process of transitioning from black to red. From all my encounters, I knew that the more cursed energy they amassed from being here in the mortal realm, the more red they would get. "What useless thoughts are going through your mind right now!? Pay attention when we are speaking!" Hawnt yelled at me. It snapped me out of my private lewd thoughts. "What are you going to do with us?" he asked. I said "You will be sealed until we find a way to get rid of you." That was all that needed to be said. There was still a battle to fight. Shado the Raging was beating on my other 3 servants. Flaym the Wild was nowhere to be seen. Rook was already downed. I had to save them all.
Downing Shado was not too much of a hassle. The others did most of the work. Ras could stun him with his black blade. He was prone on the ground. I could definitely see all of his ass now. Looking back, we all were still in the full sight of Battleville. I did not want those people to know what I was about to do. Wrapping my chain around his neck, I dragged Shado the Raging towards the mountains. I dismissed my servants and told them to go back to the town. They asked what I was going to do. "I have something that I need to know. Shado is going to tell me or die. Now leave us." I commanded them. They flinched and then got going. Rook was taken with them. I would have to revive him later. I dragged him to the ground with a yank from the chain. He fell with a grunt. "What do you want, Blade Spirit? I'll never betray my kind." he spat. I smirked. "All I want to know is how you curse spirits all keep coming over here in the valley. There has to be a portal somewhere." He was silent. That was fine with me. I said that for pretext. "If you don't speak, I will make you talk." I told him.
