🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

– Excellent technique! – Camistella clapped her hands. – You are in great physical shape, my friend. As for necromancy... many of us have been there. The power over death seems alluring until you see it firsthand.

First, Erika goes to the cold steel. If she makes it there safely, she takes the bento and the Asugah helmet (putting it on instead of the steel one), and then goes to the Temple.

Erika was interested in resuming travel to Onkaiha in the capital...

– Yeah, yeah. But you know, sometimes it's nice to reprogram something to suit your needs, don't you think? No negativity – just showing her that there is more to life than what has upset her, and gradually guiding her towards the light, so to speak, – he stroked his chin. – Yes, there is also the concept that "you can't fix her." I mostly agree with that, but sometimes you can dream. The main thing is not to lose your mind and not to turn a desire into fanaticism, that's what I'm talking about.

– Ho! That's the same idea that just came to my mind! – Ghenza lowered his head so that his hair completely covered his eyes. – I... ... ... The one who brings existential horror to the Calcite people... The one that mothers scare their children with... I didn't want to do this. But fate chose my hand to be the scythe of the executioner... I cannot avoid this hurricane... But I don't want to either. My resentment will be avenged, this world will be cleansed of the bio-garbage that suffocates it. My two blades have taken the lives of tens of thousands of enemies, and they are not going to stop... And the gods will not help you... – he turned dramatically towards the door. – ...Well, how is it? In general, I came up with it myself, but now I see Hiso and I think – maybe it somehow stuck in my mind? I don't think I felt anything like that, but who knows.

– Listen, guys, I was looking at the list of locations and I thought... – he pauses, confused. – Since this situation has arisen, I'll go to you know where. Yes, it's not safe, and it's unlikely that anything is left there that hasn't been licked clean by Ginza and his gas-sniffers, but I need to get some closure. Otherwise, this story will haunt me for the rest of my life. This will definitely not happen, but who knows, maybe I'll get some hint or clue about the whole situation. I'm telling you this in case I don't come back – if you find some new mushroom in the area, you'll know that it's me.
