"Ah... Haha... I see, you had experienced their lack of intelligence and probably suffered a bit from it." said the spirit as she glimpsed at his severely broken arm.
"Haha... Yeah... And not just a bit I guess." said Sky, with a bitter smile.
"Haha..."
"Anyway, since you had been trapped in here so many years, do you perhaps know anything that might cause the 'curse' where this sinkhole continuously swallowed anyone that got near to it and was unable to escape no matter what? Or at least, do you have any idea what led to this unusual magic press in this sinkhole? Or is this place originally having such a magic press?" Sky asked directly into the point.
"Well, for your first question, I don't have an exact answer, it's probably due to the unique geological structure. As for the second and third questions, I do know something that might be related to it. From what I remembered, this place originally doesn't have such s strong magic press and actually quite open for witchcraft and black magic but everything changed when a psychic preach of an unknown religion from the other place set foot in the town. The preach give a huge influence on the townspeople and caused them to detest witchcraft and black magic, thus leading to some unreasonable witch execution. And occasionally, there will be some exceptionally 'strong witches' that need to be pressed down under the goddess statue after their execution. Every time a statue is added, the magic force around the town will be weakened. When I was still alive, there were already three of the goddess statue in town, adding mine, it will be four, while there are some statues that were put up secretly and not opened to the public. But of course, it's not very possible to find the other statue now since most of them are covered by soil after the earth collapsed into this gigantic sinkhole. This statue above me somehow survived since, you know, I am that 'legendary evil witch'." said the spirit lady, in a sarcastic tone.
"Hmm... Now that actually linked everything together. With the land structure of Kapis Dimension that is actually supported by pure magic force, the goddess statues which are acting as intense magic block had badly shattered the balance of the magic force, thus causing the land structure to lose support and collapse." said Sky after a short thought.
"Ah... That actually makes a lot of sense, I always thought that it was just some sort of coincidence." said the spirit.
"If followed the logic above, I believe I should be able to at least recover the balance of magic force here by destroying all the said statue." said Sky.
"Hmm... That makes sense, but it certainly sounds risky. The awaiting unknown danger of destroying a thousand years old magic devices aside, destroying those goddess statues means releasing whatever that had been held down by the statue for thousands of years, you would never know what you will be releasing. For example, I am that 'legendary evil witch' everyone had been talking about for generations." said the spirit, still quite ironic about the legend.
"Well, it's not a big deal, if I actually released some powerful evil being, I will just have to exterminate them for good, and that's including you." said Sky, partially teasing and partially sarcastic.
"Haha... You certainly don't sound like joking. I guess after getting trapped under this statue for all these years, it's finally coming to an end huh? But how are you going to do it? After all, even the sinking of the land fails to destroy it." said the spirit.
"Don't worry, I have my own way. But before that, a few more questions. You definitely haven't left this spot since the beginning, right?" Sky asked.
"No. It's rather impossible." "I see, so it's not you then. Are the other 'witches execution' the same as yours?" said Sky.
"Mmm... All the other witches are executed in the same way." said the spirit. Sky nodded.
However, Sky doesn't realize the spirit actually lied to him, in fact, what she told Sky is just a part of the truth, there is another big hidden part that she had determined to lock it forever in her heart...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few thousand years ago in Kapis Dimension, there was a town, in the town there is an orphanage home, in the orphanage home, there are two girls that are best friends with each other. Among the two girls, one is smarter than the another girl, while the another girl is prettier and sweeter. While they are still very young, they have sworn to heaven and earth that they will be best friends forever and shall never betray each other.
Shortly after making that oath, the prettier girl got adopted by one of the town people, while the other girl was left unwanted in the orphanage home until one fateful day, a handsome traveling doctor/healer reached the town to provide some free services for the orphanage home.
The smart girl who was actually quite interested to learn some medical knowledge watched the healer from a side and getting spotted by the healer, sensing the girl's passion, the healer briefly tested herself before deciding to take her with him as his disciple.
As the smart girl left her hometown with the handsome traveling doctor, her best friend, the prettier girl peeped at them from a distance with a crushed gift box in her hand, she doesn't seem to be very happy about that...
