The Ninetails responds with a beam coming from its tails.
A mist covers the whole mountain, and as it slowly disappears, a person with a black suit and black hair like a knight and a mask with a skull of a person is standing right beside the phoenix. Strangely enough, the phoenix is not attacking him.
The strange man stared at the stone I've been hiding on and said.
*Sigh.
"*Looks like there's a rat hiding."
The strange man attacks the rock I've been hiding on with strange magic, and as the rock disintegrates, he rushes at me trying to end me, but suddenly one of the tails of the nine tails protects me; it gets split in half.
The ninetails looked at and said.
"*I got this if you will; can you help me?"
"Yes! What can I do for you?"
"*In the Big Cave to the east, it's guarded by tigers. There's a person in there that might be able to help to create an antidote. Go in there and ask for hel—"
The strange man swung a stick and cut through one of the tails of the ninetails and said.
"*Trying to tell a story while dying?"
The ninetails shielded me and said.
"*Hurry Quick."
I rush immediately to the east, trying to find the cave.
After 3 days I spotted a tiger and sneakily followed it; sure enough, it led me to the cave.
I rush to the cave, trying to get in because of the little time I have left, but the tigers block me. They lunge at me, and I summon Gran and Glask. Gran lunges at the weaker one, and I and Glask go to the strongest. While fighting, a burst of mana surrounds us, and a lady floating slowly descends, presents herself to us, and speaks to us.
"Who are you, and what do you need?"
Glask, whisper to me.
"*My Lord, that lady is not greeting you with honor; should I kill her?"
"Wha-No!".
"Um...hello, so, um...do you perhaps know a Ninetales?"
"*NineTails? Maybe I do, why?"
"The Ninetails sent me here to ask for help; she needed an antidote to cure the Phoenix."
"*Cure to the Phoenix? What does she look like?"
"The Phoenix is strangely not itself, and I can feel a demonic mana coming from it."
"*Demonic Mana, huh? I can help you with that, but first I need materials. What I'm missing right now is holy water you can get from the church.
"Okay, I'm on it."
After another day of traveling, I finally see a glimpse of the church.
I rush as fast as I can to church, but I am blocked by the guard.
The guard asks me.
"*Who are you?"
"I'm chrono; I need holy water."
"*Chrono? You mean the hero of the Lionhart Kingdom? We need your adventurer license first."
I handed over my Adventurer's License, and the guard let me in.
A strange feeling creeps on to me as soon as I enter the church.
"*Umm...hello. Are you Chrono?"
"Yes, I am. Why?"
"*Great! So did you come here to help us?"
"Help? I got here to get some holy water."
"*Oh...we're sorry then; we cannot."
"What? Why?"
"*Well, it's because we are currently using the holy water to exorcise the villager here."
"Exorcist?"
"*Yeah, because some weird phenomena are happening here for some reason. Many villagers are getting possessed."
'I knew it. Something's weird as soon as I enter the church.'
"I will help you to discover it, but you need to give me holy water after I'm done."
"*Sure."
I was investigating the cause when I saw a person.
"Hey, wait."
"He's gone."
After some time I discovered that a tomb is open, and sure enough, when I look into it, many souls are escaping and possessing people.
