Dave hadn't fully understood what Nick wanted to tell him so he asked again, "What do you mean by a proper tool to kill the Nian?"
"It's a calamity, most of them are immortal, the nastier ones. A god slaying weapon would usually do the trick, but in some cases, they are not as effective. Because in the Nian's case, you won't be slaying a monster, you'll be slaying a tradition."
"Huh, I still have no clue what the heck are you talking about," Dave replied.
"When did you ever? Now let me explain in terms you'll find it easier, kid. You'll have to kill the monster but not slay its flesh, you'll have to make his…legacy for a lack of an appropriate word, be destroyed."
"Huh, I guess I understand now a bit. Right, so when this thing is gonna show?" Dave asked.
"Usually, the festivities start at midnight," one of the soldiers said.
"Right then, I'll have to take care of that by then. For now, I have a few orders to rally.�� Dave said.
