In the Southern Territory, the battle between Clint and Malvol continued.
Clint knew he had expended too much energy earlier, and now, it was crucial to end the fight quickly.
He felt his true energy continuously draining and decided to take a decisive risk.
Even though he was unsure how long he could last if he dragged Malvol into the alternate dimension, there was no time to hesitate.
Hence, Clint and Deluca charged at Malvol again.
Malvol summoned the Doom Spawns to attack. He controlled four of them while the others, who had no warrior capabilities, stood ready to shield him in case of any unexpected attacks.
He could control the positions of the Doom Spawns he had marked, but those who had removed the lotus mark, like Stellar, were beyond his reach.
Nevertheless, Malvol felt confident in defeating Clint. He knew Clint's tactics and aimed to keep him at a distance, using the Doom Spawns for the offensive.
Very quickly, Clint activated a magical array that immobilized the four Doom Spawns.
Then, both Clint and Deluca rushed toward Malvol again.
Malvol quickly distanced himself and summoned demons to attack them.
"The same ability as Mosley... No… These aren't real demons; they're products of that purple doom energy," Clint noted curiously as the creatures closed in on them.
…
"Is there a way to break the curse?" Ruin asked, puzzled.
Zirconia replied, "Oh? Even you're surprised? It seems you don't fully understand the deal you made with that old man. Your memory holds many secrets, including the way to help me break the curse."
"What way?" Ruin questioned.
"Are you truly ignorant or just pretending?" Zirconia snarled.
