For a while, a huge motion of unease hung over the barracks. This intense emotion was felt by the realm consciousness of the spirit world.

The spirit consciousness, which was already adapting to the cursed spirit by having a part in the spirit realm grow for each arch curse to match their cursed spirits, looked over the arch curses. The realm consciousness presented the situation to them. Only the Despairing Virtuoso had a reaction, which the realm consciousness acknowledged with a nod as a portal appeared in Virtuoso's small realm space.

Virtuoso, holding his painting brush, walked through the portal. The sun was still up, so the soldiers were training when, all of a sudden, the space was torn open, and a giant, weird-looking painter walked out.

In the presence of the Virtuoso, an overwhelming sense of despair descended over the barracks and quickly spread out into the kingdom.
