"It's me! It's me, Katya!"

"Mi... Mythica!"

"You were here."

"And others... No, can you tell me how the situation is right now?"

"I'm s-sorry. In fact, I can't figure it out. I only got here by accident. For now, we need to prepare something to cover our mouth and nose. I don't know if you've noticed, but..."

"Are you talking about the fog?"

"Yes. It's probably Cheon Gwan-wi's doing. No one else can spray fog all over such a wide area. How she got out of Castle Rock is unknown, but this is definitely her work. I think she covered her magic power by using a catalyst in the existing fog, but unlike before, the concentration of magic power is very explicit. And not only that."

"Did you find out anything else?"

"I'm uncertain about this one."

"It doesn't matter whether you are or you're not. Just tell me."

"Okay... i-it's just a guess, but this fog probably contains magic or some kind of weird drug. It might be a curse as well. I don't know in detail either, but... seeing that the priests' purification magic doesn't work, it's highly likely that other means had been used."

"Go to hell!! Hehehehehehe!"

"Careful!"

"T-Thank you, Katya."

"Keep talking. I will open the way."

"Yes, yes."

"What do you mean by other means?"

"I think it's a kind of alchemy potion. I haven't figured out how exactly it works, but it's probably a stimulant of some kind that induces hallucinations. One thing is certain: the more exposed you are to this fog, the stronger the effects. The monsters that attacked the troops earlier were probably also affected by this fog. Of course, as I said, these are all my personal guesses. If magic or the priest's purifying spells don't work, there's nothing else I can think of. I'm sorry I can't be much help."

"No. The insight is helpful enough. It's probably something really close to Mythica's speculation. I also thought that my body was sending some signals, little by little. It's a bit different from mental magic. If it were such magic, the effect wouldn't have lasted until now. The lower the resistance, the faster it'll take effect. The longer the time it stays in effect as well."

"Yes. You're right. The lower the magic power or HP is, the more lethal I think it is. Perhaps the probability that Lee Kiyoung made the potion and Chun Gwan-wi turned it into the fog is also..."

"We can think so, too."

"That's all I can guess. K-Katya. What will you do from now on..."

"First, I'll rearrange our troops. Find sorcerers and drive out the fog in any way. There is no other workaround."

"Okay."

"We will move a little faster. Mythica, stick to me and follow."

"Okay!"

In fact, it wasn't a significant achievement altogether.

But at least, they made sense of how things were going and how matters were going on.

The biggest question now would be how to deal with this absurd situation.

"Die! Die! Die! God Varian will not forgive you!"

"L-Let go of me!"

"Motherfuckers! Motherfuckers! Die! Lunatic bastards! "

"You'll be the ones who'll die, cursed children of the demon!"
