Finding The Cause

Setting down next to the General, Astaroth kept his Perfect Mana Sense active, to pinpoint where the mana was coming into her. Meanwhile, the General was trying to identify the curse.

The best way to break a curse was to find what caused it, and what it was. It was the only way to find the appropriate cure.

The General was the first one to find his objective, after examining how the mana affected the Baron's wife.

"This curse is quite the nasty one. It is washing out all of your wife's natural mana by forcefully injecting dark mana into her body. The only way to cure this is to find the source and cleanse it."

The General turned his head to Astaroth.

"How is it going on that side, young man?"

Astaroth was frowning. His sense pointed at the woman's chest, but it seemed deeper, for some strange reason.

Almost like the mana was entering her heart. Astaroth leaned in closer, extending his hand forward toward the woman's breast.
