73 Mboya Is Possessed (2/2)
The witches had the power to take Mboya by force and perform whatever ritual they wanted but in this case, that could only bring more problems. This was because the cleansing ritual was only done under the victim's will. If Mboya was unwilling to go through it, then even the witches could do nothing.
”Do I have to die?” Hearing the seriousness of the matter, Mboya could not help but ask.
”Nobody said you were going to die Mboya. The cleansing ritual is of course painful and whether you are going to live or die will solely depend on your ability to endure pain. Every minute you waste, the Lord of the dark takes control of you. He will head to the topmost floor and uncover the secrets concerning Ordainers. That will make Ochieng' and the coming Ordainers powerless before him. Are you willing to let mankind undergo this?”
”No” Mboya answered with determination clear on his face.
He was a warrior after all. The moment he vowed to protect his tribe, he was ready to give up his life for his tribe. He may appear fearful, but when it reached a point where he had to consider between the entire tribe and himself, he would choose the former. He was running away a moment ago not because he loved his life more, but it was because he was not entirely himself and this Hall of Righteousness was terrifying itself.
”I am going to ask you to come over then. It is going to be painful but if you grit your teeth and endure, you will walk away alive.” The woman said with concern writtenon her slightly beautiful face.
Mboya wanted to walk over but suddenly felt something cajoling him not to. Alongside this something's voice, he felt a pang of headache. Before everyone comprehended what was happening, Mboya fell to the floor writhing while holding his head in pain.
”He had agreed to die for mankind, he is being possessed, take him to the altar of eradication before it is too late.” Seeing things unfolding the way she did not expect, the woman ordered the other five witches.
They immediately walked over to Mboya and after reciting an incantation at the same time, they lifted their hands to help him up. However, what happened next made the leader to be terror stricken.A devastating force came out of Mboya's forehead and blasted the five women off. Each one of them hit the walls of the compartment before falling in a wrecked state.
”Oh no! The will is possessing him.” The woman cried.
”What do we do?” Kuru asked fearfully.
”Hahahaha!” Before he received an answer, he heard Mboya laughing in a bizarre manner. He turned to this acquaintance of his only to see a stiff motionless body on the floor.
”Is he dead?” Kuru asked in extreme fear.
Instead of answering him, the woman walked slowly towards Mboya and carefully lifted him. She then walked to the altar and placed him there. She then started throwing her fists anyhow while reciting a conjuration. Seemingly familiar with the performance, Kuru joined in. Even the other five women, in their weak state walked to the altar to give a helping hand.
BOOM!
There was a sound of an explosion from the center of the altar followed by a release of even a more powerful force than the previous one. Everyone around the altar was immediately sent flying to the walls. When they fell on the floor, they were more or less dead. The five women who had clashed with this force before were evenin a worse condition.
