Istan City fell into chaos and cold winter, more and more people were infected with strange diseases, and the destruction of the boilers and heaters made the city fall into a state of extreme cold. Overnight, dozens of people froze to death, and several families were poisoned to death by burning coal because of the cold.
The next day, the firewood on the market was robbed, a large number of citizens poured out of Istan City, and cut down the nearby snow maple forest, but it only lasted for a week, and it was exhausted. People began to demolish houses and dismantle various public buildings to make fire or cook.
Panic pervaded the whole city, because of the disappearance of the Holy Temple Priests and Holy Knights, some people became unscrupulous. At first, it was just robbery, but on the eighth day, a family of three in the east of the city was killed in the house, and the mistress was humiliated before she died. This scene completely plunged Istan City into chaos.
Every household shut their doors, and gunshots rang out from time to time on the streets. The granary was set ablaze amidst the chaos, and the food was burnt to a crisp. Soon, several shops in the city were looted, and food shortages began to appear.
They began to slaughter ice bears, kill camel beasts, go out to look for fruits and food, but the food was getting less and less, people began to practice making fire to cook, because the aroma of the food would surely attract groups of thugs.
Helen carefully locked the door, rushed into the room, and looked at Bart and her sister, Agatha, who were lying on the bed. Helen's sister, Agatha, had also contracted that strange disease. Only three days had passed, and she had become extremely thin, losing the vitality of a female leopard in the past.
In three days, Agatha had changed from a young girl to a fifty-year-old old woman. As the devil's sacrificial ritual was gradually completed, the power of the curse was eroding faster and faster. It originally took more than ten days to age, but now five days were enough to make people die.
And the hospital had long been closed, as for the patients inside, it was obvious what would happen to them. Most of the patients who fell ill later could only wait for death at home.
Corpses were everywhere on the streets and in every household. Some died of illness, some froze to death, and some were killed in the chaos. Darkness and death shrouded the entire sky of Istan City. The smell of decay and stench filled the streets. Even scavenging birds that came from afar began to hover above Istan City. Some people began to escape from Istan City, but most people knew that their end was likely to be death on the way.
In a short period of time, Istan City seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell on earth.
"Bart! Agatha! Look, I found some food! "
Helen took out two maple fruits, the unripe kind, but at this time in Istan City, panic had been pervading for ten days, and the food was enough to make people crazy.
"Agatha! Agatha, eat! Try it, it's very … "
Helen put one in Bart's hand, then sat next to Agatha, holding her sister. Helen was clearly the elder sister, but Agatha at the moment was as old as Helen's mother. Helen wanted to feed her, but Agatha, who was so weak that she seemed to only have one breath left, shook her head.
"No need, sister, my illness can't be cured, I … I'm going to die soon!"
Agatha looked at her sister, and there was only despair in her eyes, "Don't waste food! And don't worry about me! "
Helen still supported Agatha, and even chewed the maple fruit and fed it to Agatha little by little. Only then did she feel at ease.
At this moment, Bart's Soul Power, which had been worn down by the Saint's Seal, was also gradually dissipating. He was so weak that he was no different from a cursed person. However, his spirit was still pretty good. He was trying everything he could to stop the power of the Saint's Seal, but he still couldn't avoid death. In just a few days, his soul would completely dissipate.
But he also knew that in a few days, the Gate of the Abyss would open, and then he would be able to completely recover, and he could go further, have more power, and become a powerful Demon Baron in the Abyss.
Bart chewed the maple fruit with all his strength and ate it. At this time, he suddenly looked at Helen, "Helen, why don't you eat?"
Helen looked at Bart and said, "I'll eat later, you guys eat first!"
Bart immediately reacted. "No way, only two? There's no food? "
Helen was speechless, "I'm fine!"
Bart instantly became silent. He didn't know why, but it was as if Helen's body was emitting a ray of light that illuminated the entire room, illuminating his ugliness and loathing. It made him feel as if his skin was being pricked by the light.
On the fourteenth day, Helen fell ill.
There were three patients in the house. Bart was lying on the bed in the corner, and Helen was lying on another big bed with Agatha in her arms. The three of them were silent, as if they were waiting for death in silence.
Agatha was so old that her hair had turned white. She looked like an 80-year-old grandmother. Her skin was covered with brown patches that drooped on her bones. She looked daunting. Helen hugged her without any qualms. However, at this moment, Agatha seemed to be unable to speak. She was hanging on to her last breath and could die at any time.
"Agatha! Don't be afraid! Sister will accompany you, sister … sister … "
"Sister will always protect you!"
Speaking of this, Helen, who had a smile on her face, didn't know why she could no longer speak. Tears flowed from her eyes and dripped onto her collar. She hugged Agatha tightly.
At night, Agatha seemed to have a terminal lucidity. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Helen. Helen supported her body weakly and forced herself to look at Agatha.
"Sister, I saw light, I seemed to see another world, I …"
"Mom … Mom came to pick me up, and Dad, and … and …" Agatha's voice was so hoarse that it sounded as harsh as fingers scratching a template, but what she said made people cry involuntarily.
Agatha let go of Helen's hand, tilted her head and fell into Helen's arms. Helen looked at this scene, and her body trembled violently, as if there was no moment that could give her such a big impact. Her father's unexpected death did not happen, nor did her mother's illness, but only Agatha. Agatha was her everything. As long as Agatha was there, she would be happy.
Helen cried loudly, crying like a child. She held Agatha's body in despair, and tears flowed down.
At this moment, Bart looked at Helen, who was holding Agatha, lying in the dark corner of the room. His chin kept trembling, and he turned his head away, not daring to look at this scene. He was afraid to see Helen's eyes, afraid to hear her voice, and afraid to see her cry in despair.
And at this moment, suddenly, the bead on Helen's chest bloomed with blue light, like the ocean and water, filling the whole room.
Bart immediately turned back and looked at Helen and the bead that bloomed with light. He suddenly thought of a legend.
"The Pearl of Dana, the legendary wishing bead!"
Bart immediately saw Agatha, who was held in Helen's arms. The demon and curse that originally enveloped her body were dispelled little by little, and her body was gradually full of vitality. Her originally exhausted body became full little by little, and her skin began to become radiant, and her hair became red.
"It turns out that the legend is true!"
Bart stood up from the bed little by little, and watched Agatha recover little by little. She got rid of the curse from the Abyss Demon Lord and regained her health. Agatha, who was clearly completely dead, came back to life again.
"The power of resurrection, it's really the power of resurrection. It's even more magical than resurrection!"
Helen looked at Agatha, who was floating in the blue light, absentmindedly. At the moment when she fell, she immediately caught her. She hugged her as if she was hugging the whole world, for fear that she would accidentally slip away from her arms again.
Bart said to Helen, "Let's send Agatha out together. Only by leaving here can she survive. As long as she stays in the city, she will be cursed again, and when the gate of the abyss opens, everyone in the city will die!"
Helen stared blankly at Bart. She didn't understand what the person she saved was talking about. Bart looked into Helen's eyes. His ferocious face softened at the moment. "Believe me, this is the only way to save Agatha's life!"
