Seeing the injury on Chris, Sky immediately applies some basic healing and soothing magic on him with no further delay. After a short while, Chris finally opened his eyes again and stared at Sky.
"You don't need to be this worried about me, this sort of curse has a milder effect on me, it will slowly clear on its own and will probably fully clear within an hour or two. But I have to admit that your soothing helps a lot." said Chris who sounds obviously better.
"Chris! Thank goodness it worked! You really freaked me out just now!" said Sky, in relief.
"Well, you are the one that overreacted... Hmm? Are you here all by yourself?" Chris asked.
"Oh! Junior and Sergeant C-760 followed me he... Heh? Where have they gone?" said Sky who just realized that the other two weren't with him the whole time.
"Ah... I guess the sleep curse got them after all." said Chris.
"Sleep curse?" Sky asked.
"Yes, that angel put that up when she entered the building but I have applied a cleansing magic, the effect of sleeping magic should be cleared soon." said Chris.
"You mean, this angel here is capable of doing such a vast range of sleep curse as well as the contamination curse? Aren't they are not allowed to do so? Just who the hell she is to be able to do all these things on her own?" said Sky, rather astonished by that piece of information.
"Well, from the flow of her magic, I can confirm that she is an underling of Ariel, the archangel of nature. But this is not the main point. I actually found out her other astonishing identity." said Chris.
"What is it?" Sky asked.
"I believe you might have already noticed and guessed it. She is the eighth member of team Royal Guards." said Chris.
"Ah..."
"And another astonishing thing I found out from her is that, this string parasites thing is indeed related to the slime incident in Null Dimension." said Chris.
"Ah-ah... I wonder just how complicated things can get." said Sky...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Chris, after he immobilized that angel, he invaded her memory and found out that she is actually the elder sister of that angel Sky killed and brutally dug out his heart during the slime incident in order to save Chris. Due to the extreme hatred, the angel had fallen and developed a curse magic force inside of herself, however, due to the extreme wisdom of her, she successfully deceived her archangel and continued to stay in Heavenly Realm while improving her curse magic.
The angel lady somehow found out that Sky is the one that killed her brother, and know that they are going to join the Battle Arena Tournament in Kapis Dimension, and so, she went there before Sky and the others even departed from Null Dimension. She then approached Augustine III, the son of the disowned king, and tricked him into helping her with her revenge plans and her 'curse activation' experiments. Thus resulting Tommy, Timmy, Tammy, and Temmy who has the body of young teenage boys and the soul of full-grown adults that are able to use curse magic.
After using the Royal Guards to connect with the tournament's organizer, the angel found out about the details of the Stamina test, she secretly went to the Ninth Divine Mountain and buried a batch of that string parasite eggs she got from the poison master into the soil of the deep forest.
As the tournament began, the angel activated a wide-ranged deception curse that totally hidden her existence from everyone in the town, which is why even with knowing the rules that every team need to have eight members, people will still not realize anything is wrong when they could only remember seven members in Team Royal Guards, despite the fact that she is always with the team all the time...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wait what? Damn it! How could I not realize about that? Does that mean her curse worked on me too? Tsk!" said Sky, rather in disbelief.
"Actually, I am equally surprised, she is probably talented in curse magic, which is why I did not end her life. I have ordered someone from Kingdom to consult with the Heavenly Realm about whether or not I could take control over her since she had done a dire mistake. I should be able to get their response soon." said Chris.
"Ah... That's so like your style huh?" said Sky.
"Another crucial reason behind my decision to keep her life is that, I am wondering if she is involved in the hybrid experiments or not since I can't find anything related about that in her mind. But the similarities between her experiment and the hybrid experiments are rather intriguing." said Chris.
"Yes, I agree with you about that... Hmm?"
Suddenly, Sky heard some familiar footsteps from outside the lab.
"Looks like the sleeping curse magic had faded." said Chris. Sky nodded...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the sleeping curse had been cleared, Sky and Chris left all the remaining works to K and his subordinates and went back to the hostel along with all the other members including Ben who had recovered from his heart condition after a sufficient rest.
With the sample given by Chris, the Alliance had successfully generated a whole batch of medicine that can suppress the activity of the string parasite. Unfortunately, some of the people who had been infected for a longer time did not make it and passed away as their bodies had been damaged by the parasite for a rather long period.
The culprit of this whole mess, the lady angel is held captive and taken away by the Raven Guardian's squad from the Kingdom as soon as they received a confirmation from Heavenly Realm stating that they are allowed to do anything to that lady angel.
As for the tournament...
It is still continuing, but with a tiny little twist...

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
