33 Spirit Mark (1/2)

[Name: Cursed Doll]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Rarity: Green]

[Requirement: None]

[Effects: Upon touch, the user is cursed by a Spirit Mark.]

[Durability: N/A]

[Remark: Who told you to touch someone's else stuff? There's a reason for this to be locked…]

Dorian looked at his status, and indeed there was a new condition there, just below his Hypothermia:

[Spirit Mark: You have been hit by a curse and your soul has been marked. Spirits are chasing you!]

Reading this, Dorian could feel a headache coming. He was afraid this Spirit Mark would be much more annoying and dangerous than one could think. He had just awakened the spirit family upstairs, but what if they weren't the only spirits who would attack him?

Anyway, he hurried down the cave. The two Sadunites looked at Dorian curiously because he came back so fast. But Dorian then told them exactly what happened to him.

When he was finished, Jun said ”Really unlucky, I wouldn't have thought there were spirits upstairs. But I'm curious, you were able to injure them?”

Dorian nodded and said ”Yes, that was strange. When I first threw those daggers they did nothing, but then when I attacked them in close combat I could hit them.”

Jun nodded and said ”And you didn't use Life Essence or Magic?”

Dorian shook his head, and Jun said ”Then I see only one other reason, your expertise with your daggers must have reached the second level. That's impressive for someone who can't use Life Essence.”

Dorian said ”Does it matter? I came back because I want to ask if you know a way to take care of my Spirit Mark, and a way to kill those spirits. I don't want to be attacked each time I enter the house… Will the spirits attack others?”

Jun shook his head ”No, the spirits upstairs aren't just any spirits, they were directly summoned from Hell by the spell thrown on the doll. They can only attack and be attacked by the ones who have touched this doll and received the Spirit Mark.”

Dorian sighed ”Too bad, they would have made a good defense.”

Jok'ii, who had remained silent until now, smiled and said ”There is a way to use them though… But it's dangerous.”

As he finished, Jun looked coldly at Jok'ii who immediately shut up, but Dorian had already heard it ”What way?”

Jun continued glaring at Jok'ii for a second before saying ”It doesn't matter, it's too dangerous.”

Dorian frowned and said ”But they can stop anyone under a Stinger's level.”

The two Sadunites looked at Dorian curiously and asked ”What's a Stinger?” Dorian pointed at his robe and said ”This was taken from one of them. The ones who attacked, they are part of a gang known as the Red Scorpion Gang, and the leaders of this organization are known as Stingers. There are 13 of them and they all have Life Essence. They all are super humans.”

Jun frowned and said ”If they come here then we will definitely die. We could handle a lone one but 13 of them… Mind Magic isn't suited for large scale battles.”

Dorian nodded and said ”I already killed four of them, and the rest aren't in the city for now. But if when I'm gone a group of gangsters come you will definitely die. And I intend on going out, so you need those.”
