Lucretia knew it wasn’t a good idea to let them rampage because they tended to cause a lot of trouble; either from the population of humans that made those catacombs their home or the various priests trying to do their duties. Even the peaceful spirits and ghosts there would often become their target.
Lucretia felt the hollow words of the priest address her again and she’d turn her head to him; his words seemed slow. Muffled. Strangely distant to her and she couldn’t help but shake her head after a moment; putting a hand to her head. Ever since… Ever since her fight against Kon she had felt her body undergo some changes she couldn’t explain.
Like something deep within her stirred so greatly that she could barely really understand it; the bloodlust that once came with her werewolf heritage had muted itself. Instead she felt something else pump in her veins and it was… Hard to describe. The priest seemed worried but she’d just wave him off.
”What level this time?”
”I-its deep within the Catacombs. Wh-whatever spirit is responsible consumed the spirits from previous levels. Th-The oracles said that it’d try to go deeper but… W-we can’t have that happen.”
Lucretia frowned a bit as her question went unanswered and the priest sighed before motioning to the stairs lucretia would have to take. She’d sigh a bit before shaking her head. Figuring that if he wasn’t answering her it’d be a bit. She’d just keep going until she got to where she needed to be. It’d be obvious to her once she arrived.
”S-somewhere on… the tenth level of the catacombs we think.”
Lucretia’s expression of frustration quickly changed to that of surprise. The ghost had consumed five whole levels of other spirits? It’d have to be massively powerful at that point. She’d bite the inside of her cheek at the thought of exorcizing such a powerful spirit. She regretted for a moment giving up her chosen profession but she had to admit that now it was the best possible choice. To feel the fear associated with the beings of darkness to better understand what those she swore to protect went through. Growling she’d start her journey down the stairs.
I wish that more spirits were like that one that just wished to guide people… a shame…
