Chapter 61 - Trap to catch Moreina

Christel is in front, the atmosphere feels very cold. Despite everyone knowing what lands they are in! They are in:

*Tron, tron, crash, Proom* lightning.

"Up ahead is the path to the brotherhood's burial grounds..." Flavie is one of the Rogue Elites who have been guarding and protecting the Rogue Camp.

Flavie is a member of the Sightless Eye Sisterhood, one of the oldest and most talented in exploration. Flavie is part of the group of those protected by Akara and is an elite among the sisters at Camp Rogue.

As part of protecting the lands of Khanduras, it is necessary to reach the Holy Fields, the Cemetery of the sisters. The lands, for some reason, Moreina guards.

And anyone has wondered when playing Diablo II what Moreina is doing in the Holy Fields of the Brotherhood Cemetery.

It doesn't make sense.

When Christel and her group arrived at the holy fields, their order was to clean up the surroundings. And that's what you would do when you already know where a boss is and before facing him, clean up the area.

But as we all know, like Christel, this is a real world, not an RPG game.

But Christel still ordered to use the scissors tactic, so everyone went and started to clean the area from the outside in, in a V formation. But Christel walked straight, entered the cemetery, and walked towards a dead but enormous tree where Moreina was resting.

"Little girl, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you..."

"Charsi told me that you gave up when Sister Lakrii married Kashya..."

"You want to die!!!"

The center of the Sisters' Burial Grounds trembled and an endless amount of electricity danced in the land with the tree as its center.

The whole ground shook as if there was an earthquake, and dead beings rose from the cracks that appeared in the Grounds Fields.

Akara had already told them to follow the orders of the golden-haired girl. So Christel took Malachar and Xul with her, and asked the others to clean the land around them, all to keep Moreina locked up.

Christel brought the Necromancers, since she needed them for spiritual defense, and when Christel faced Moreina, she knew that Andariel had interfered.

A small squad of skeleton archers, warriors, and mages had a perimeter around a huge but dead tree. Malachar and Xul were outside the perimeter, spiritually attacking any ghosts that tried to enter or leave.

And Moreina was very, very furious.

"Stupid girl, you think you can stop me just like that! Ice Arrow!"

"-Cold Spell: Frost Armor- -Cold Spell: Frost Armor- -Cold Spell: Glacial Armor- -Lightning Spell: Energy Shield- -Fire Spell: Enchant Weapon with Fire- -Mind Spell: Telekinesis- ..."

Blood Raven fired a single cursed arrow at Christel, but it shattered on the shields she put up every second.

"What are you doing, girl? You think that by putting up a thousand shields you will survive me… You don't know who you're up against… What is that?"

Moreina was watching as Christel, after putting on shields, began to cast simple enchantment spells. She recognized telekinesis and weapon enchantment in particular. But when she realized, she found herself surrounded by many flaming stones that floated and glowed red around her.

"You!... what are you doing?"

"Let me show you my version of the high-level spell, Meteorites."

"You're stupid, you'll get hurt too!"

"Well Moreina, if you and I survive, let me buy you a drink. -Gravity Spell: Falling Point-"

"You're stupid!!! Haaaa!"

Christel had placed a mark on that strange tree, it was a bright spot that everyone saw but no one paid attention to. She didn't want to have a prolonged fight with Moreina, and she needed a damage attack of earthly proportions to leave her disarmed.

Christel only had one chance, after that the technique would be useless. Especially if you want all the Corrupted Rogues captured, that's why all the heroes went to clean up the hellish beings around the holy fields and capture the Rogues that were guarding them.

But Moreina is very different, she could escape, and she was able to use her Rogue Guards of Spear Elites to use them as cannon fodder and run away. Neither Christel nor anyone else could afford to let her do that. But there is something in the modern world of the blue aqua star that does not exist in the world of Sanctuary. The flash grenade.

Christel wants to be one on one with Moreina without her escaping, and Moreina wants to kill or capture the golden-haired girl on Andariel's orders. But unfortunately for the hellish beings of the world of Sanctuary. In the modern world of the blue-water star, there are already many books about the psychologies of war and analysis of the enemy and how to take advantage of it.

So Moreina's plan was to trap Christel in a confrontation and have a horde of undead drive everyone away and leave the golden-haired girl alone, it was a plan that also worked against her.

But Christel's plan was also to leave Moreina alone and not give her the chance to escape. After placing all the defense and barrier spells at the moment, and not before so that Moreina would not be on guard, she used the enchantment spells on the stones around her, and just used telekinesis to raise them a few centimeters and let them fall in the direction of the strange tree, so that they would explode.

Moreina, in all her years of experience in wars and confrontations, had never encountered anything like this, everything around her exploded with endless flashes. Despite her experience in combat and worse, the demonization that made her senses more sensitive, countless flashing and noisy bombs exploded everywhere.

Before she realized it, she felt a force pushing her to the ground. She managed to force her eyes open and see a golden silhouette above her, and a moving mouth.

Then, she felt ropes hugging and wrapping her, leaving her body unable to move.

Her red eyes were watering, but little by little she was able to regain her sight. She is a warrior, one of those who could face a primordial evil and win. When her vision improved, she saw more clearly the very young face of a girl who looked into her eyes.

She was a little girl who was smaller than her. Much smaller, so small that she thought: 'This is what my daughter would look like now...'

Tears fell from her painful eyes, but it was not known if it was from enduring the light explosions or from something else.

But what she did know was the firm grip of her hands on her shoulders, that girl holding her and keeping her glued to the floor. But she didn't feel bad, in fact she felt a warmth that was transmitted from her hands to her skin.

She also felt the weight of this little girl on her belly, and she was not only holding her with her hands on the ground, but she was on top of her, using her whole body to support her. A smile appeared on her face.

"Do you really think you can defeat me like that?" Moreina claimed to maintain her pride and lower the girl's morale, and thus find a way to get away.

"No, but it's an opportunity to have you..." Moreina saw the pink eyes of this little girl, she doesn't even have a mature attitude, but she reflects the status of a person who is in power.

Moreina remembered that it was the same look as the one she called mother, who taught her everything she knew, and who was taking care of her, along with three other girls.

There were times when she and her friends would get into trouble, do mischief, and the older people would want to punish them, but that woman always stood up for them and always made a commitment for them.

Despite everything, she knew that the older people only maintained their status, but did not really want to punish them, and always looked after them. They and many orphans who came to the Monastery.

The four sisters, calling themselves, swore to always protect their homes and the people who lived there. Always protecting the temple. One wanted to protect by contributing her forging technology, another with her sword or spear skills, and she as its important person, in the art of the bow and arrow.

Everything changed when, somehow, she received news that the great parish of Tristan was facing infernal beings and only she could help.

Deep inside her mind she wonders, 'Why didn't I go with Akara or my dear Kashya to report this news? Why did I decide to go alone to investigate?'. She now knows that it was Diablo's manipulation.

Deep inside her soul she always screams, 'I never meant to do this! I didn't mean to! Akara, forgive me... Kashya, I'm sorry...' but those words never left her lips. All that came out were taunts and blasphemies against her sisters, especially Akara and Kashya.

And what she especially regrets is what she did to Kashya moments before she attacked the Monastery of the Brotherhood. She knew deep down that it was her greatest wish, but she had to let an infernal being possess her to achieve what she wanted most in her heart. But she didn't want it that way.

But after almost 20 years, when he saw that after having done something bad, he had left something good, he somehow felt a lot of peace and happiness within his corrupt soul.

"Destroy me..."

"Who said I have to do it?"

"If you don't, I'll keep hurting people you care about, like I already have..."

"Who told you I have to do it?"

"You!"

Moreina looked at the girl who was pushing her by the shoulders into the graveyard dirt and her eyes smiled. Somehow she felt that the girl could see into the depths of her heart.

"...Your sisters are being captured as planned. How would I respond to them if they knew, after awakening, that I destroyed you, Moreina?"

Around the two people, the glow of the fire from the stones enchanted by Christel still shone. A golden fire illuminated the entire place, especially the dry and dead-looking tree that was enveloped in the golden flames.

The entire cemetery of the Sisters of the Blind Eye shone with a warm light as if it were the sun.

Christel and Moreina ignored the eerie crying of the deformed tree a few meters away from them, only Moreina looked into the girl's warm pink eyes and felt her sun-golden hair on the sides of her face.

"My soul is already broken, I fell into the trap of the dark wanderer, I have no salvation, if you eliminate me, there may be a chance to rescue the other sisters, whom I dragged into the abyss..."

For some strange reason, Moreina was awake, she could communicate with the girl, but she felt that it was because she was about to be exterminated, so she believed that her body had given up.

"Just do it, and save the Rogue Camp, tell Akara to get everyone out of Khanduras, there is no salvation, these lands are already lost, an evil lurks in the depths..."

"Andariel? I will take care of her. If you want to say anything else, you will go and tell her in person."

"Little girl! You don't understand! You don't know who Andariel is, she is a primordial evil, as powerful as the dark wanderer..."

"I know. But like I said, if you have someone you need to apologize to, I won't be your messenger. You do it yourself."

"You're just stupid...mmmmmmm!!!!"

Christel decided to end this, she had seen enough in Blood Raven's eyes. The saying goes that the eyes are the windows to the soul. And Moreina expressed everything before Christel's eyes.

It was just that time was running out, Christel felt darkness descending over the place. She knew it was Andariel projecting an avatar, and for now she didn't want to have a confrontation with her.

Using the –Kisses- event, Christel sealed Moreina's lips and injected into her the energy that can, despite everything, protect the souls of the Corrupted Rogues.

Moreina's eyes widened to their fullest extent and then slowly closed, she responded to the kiss for a moment before falling into a coma. Christel was also surprised, normally Corrupted Rogues can't respond to her kiss, they are just passive and fall. But Moreina actually responded. But she also realized that it took a lot of her energy and she felt tired. But she felt that she somehow understood more about the corruption curse and also that there is a link with Moreina.

He felt like he could enter Moreina's spiritual sea, like he did that time with Ravenna. But this wasn't the place to experience his feelings, they had to get out of here. The darkness that loomed over him disappeared, but he knew that Andariel wasn't messing around.

Christel took out a special arrow and with her telekinesis magic, the mana magic used by wizards, she lit it and shot it towards the sky. It is the signal to indicate that she has accomplished her mission and that she must retreat now.

Even though she was on top, if you looked at her from the side it was like a little girl lying on top of an adult woman. Moreina was over 180 centimeters tall. So Christel couldn't carry her like a princess or use her back. But with a smile, she put her on one shoulder like a sack and started to run, jumping. The place was starting to fill with shadows from which some kind of tentacles with fire were coming out.

After leaving the Sisters' Graveyard, Christel met up with the others who were fighting the undead and also had some captured Corrupted Rogues.

Those who saw her arrive also took out special arrows, but of a different color and shot them into the sky, when other lights in the sky responded, they knew that the mission had been completed and without casualties. Everyone smiled. Capturing Moreina is a great blow against Andariel.
