'There are seventy six thousand demons around you, however none can be trapped.'
The cold sound of the artifact sounded in my mind informing me with what I never expected to hear.
'What is this supposed to mean? Why can't you trap the demons?'
'There is something interfering with my abilities. As long as this thing still exists, I wouldn't be able to do anything,' the artifact replied.
'What thing is this?' I asked with increasing anger in my voice.
'It's the castle, you need to eliminate it first or else I won't be able to trap the demons.'
I looked towards the general direction of the castle as I suddenly felt some heavy pressure over my chest. if I doubted it before, now I was pretty sure of it.
These preparations were done for me. These players were here to kill me, or at least prevent me from going forward an inch.
