In the Fate universe, I could manifest as a true human thanks to the world's unique Spirit Origins. But here, I can only appear as flames. At best, I resemble a burning man. A far cry from the human form I had in Chaldea.
Rem drank the potion she received from the chat group, and soon her body began to feel better.
The curse she was afflicted with was a debilitating one. Anyone who fell victim to this curse would weaken and die within a very short time. Rem's case was no different. After being attacked by the Beast, she knew her situation.
Thus, she immediately sought help from the chat group.
White Moon’s potion was indeed very effective.
It was developed by White Moon through her research on the life factor within the Beast, a potion capable of providing a short-term energy boost. This energy was of the same type found in the Beast, so it had a restorative effect on the human body.
Of course, it could also resist the Crimson Tide disease, which allowed her team to operate in the wasteland.
However, Rem soon noticed something was amiss. Her body was definitely in much better shape, but the weakness seemed to persist. In other words, the potion didn't address the root cause.
It did, however, greatly alleviate the pressure on her body. Still, the fundamental issue remained unresolved.
This filled Rem with disappointment, so she decided to return to the manor.
But just then, Yuma Ento contacted Rem.
A stream of incomprehensible murmurs reached Rem's ears, causing her body to instantly stiffen.
Rem frantically looked around, trying to locate the source of the sound.
Finally, she found a ball of flames in the sky above her. In an instant, she felt her combat desires surge within. Then, to Rem's horror, the flames shot directly at her. Instinctively, she tried to dodge, but she found the flames following her relentlessly. She had no choice but to raise her arms to block.
However, to her surprise, she wasn't harmed.
Soon, Rem realized what was happening.
A three-petaled flame mark had appeared on her arm. At the same time, His voice echoed in her mind. This time, it wasn't the incomprehensible language she heard before.
"Rem, we meet at last."
"Great 祇..."
Hearing this voice, Rem felt a pang of anxiety. Though she had only heard about the anomalies in the chat group from White Moon and the others, she didn't feel much pressure. But now, after making contact with Yuma Ento, Rem felt a sense of dread.
Ghosts have some ability to sense danger.
Therefore, instinctively, Rem, like White Moon, used a respectful title.
"It seems your condition isn't very good!"
"Yes, I'm cursed."
"I remember you asked White Moon for a potion. How effective was it?"
Rem knelt down and continued communicating with Yuma Ento · Ye Huang through the petal-shaped flame mark.
"It's no use. While it significantly slowed the rate of my weakening, it didn't address the root cause." Rem answered truthfully.
Ye Huang wasn't surprised. In Rem's world, there were beings known as Witches. Top-tier Witches could achieve world-ending levels of power, making them terrifying to those like Rem. These curses originated from these Witches.
Of course, it wasn't necessarily a Witch who directly placed the curse. It could have been some other entity.
Therefore, such a level of power could not be resolved with a single potion from White Moon. In fact, the fact that her potion could alleviate the situation was commendable.
"Um... Great 祇, is there a solution?"
Rem asked cautiously.
She actually summoned this deity. She had chosen to summon him out of desperation. So, after he arrived, Rem thought, "Surely this sort of thing should be simple for a god?"
To be honest, Yuma Ento did not possess the power to dispel curses.
But that didn't mean there was no way.
"Of course, there is. However, I do not have the power to dispel curses. I can resolve this curse, but it will be a poison-for-poison approach." Ye Huang explained.
He could use his own power to enter Rem's body. The curse she faced would be nothing in the face of his power. However, Yuma Ento's power was not ideal for Rem. The sheer pollution alone would be enough to make her suffer for a long time.
Therefore, Ye Huang's words left Rem conflicted.
Currently, he was attached to Rem in the form of a mark, but this was merely for the sake of communication.
"Then... will I die?"
Rem asked timidly.
She still had many things to do. She had her sister. She didn't want to die.
In response, Yuma Ento · Ye Huang's voice echoed once more: "No, but there is a risk of losing your sanity."
After all, Ye Huang would be using his own power to fill Rem's body. As long as he didn't harbor any desires for her, she wouldn't face any danger of death. However, the pollution of the Great Old One's power is a factor here. There was a risk of her losing her sanity.
Although it was just the power of an avatar, the risk of Rem losing her sanity was not small. After all, she risked losing her sanity every time she went ghost. With this additional factor, the risk of losing her sanity might be even greater.
