Noah Orion's POV
As I was still confused looking at the corpse burning.
I then casted off shield.
"Oh my god, this smell is horrible.", I said as I covered my nose.
It was the smell of rotting.
"Damn!", I said as I again casted shield.
"Let's go checkout the magic stone.", I said.
I then walked towards the magic stone. It was a blue with blackish shining gems.
I then pointed Jaguar towards the gem and tried to absorb it.
Absorption
But the absorption didn't work.
"What?!", I was confused.
Absorption.
"Why the fuck it doesn't work?", I said annoyedly.
"Mira why the hell can't I absorb it?, I asked Mira.
[Sir, it's a fragment of building mana stone.]
"Hmm, how can I use it?", I asked.
[You can open the cathedral and throw it in, then we can upgrade the cathedral but it will take about 5-10 days and you will not e able to enter it.]
"Hmm.", I was thinking for quite a while.
"Alright!", I said.
I then grabbed the gem from the place and open cathedral and threw it in.
Mira then grab it and started to sign it.
"I should now go and find out more about the disease.", I said.
[Ok, sir]
I then saw the doors of the cathedral close.
I saw the words of the sword arrange itself.
[Mana Stone of Foundation (1/5)]
[1%==2%=================>100%]
[Time required: - 7 days]
"Damn. This is cool I need to find the remaining 4 crystals.", I said.
"Alright, let's try to enter the city.", I said to myself.
As I then tried to find a man hole or a ladder.
After walking for about an hour, I then found a ladder and found a manhole.
"Ok.", I said as I casted Polymorphism.
I then looked like a green Orc of 7 feet height.
I then started to walk towards the manhole and I blended with the crowd.
'Hmm, not bad', I thought.
As I was walking through the crowd suddenly I saw one of the orcs collapse on the ground.
"What!", I was surprised as I then suddenly went towards him and picked him up.
"Hey, are you alright?", I asked but he couldn't answer.
"Alright! Let's go.", I said as I then asked a person nearby.
"Is there a clinic nearby?", I asked a nearby orc.
"Yeah, it is down the road.", I asked.
I then carried him and started to run down the road.
"Is anyone here?", I asked as I entered a dilapidated clinic.
I then saw a hunched back old orc lady come out of the shadow.
"What do you want?", the old orc lady asked.
"He needs help.", I said.
"Alright, come inside and put him down.", the orc lady asked.
I then entered the clinic.
It was full of jars of organs, insects, and parts of human and orc part in a greenish yellow liquid.
The clinic was full of potions and bones.
It also had different types of clothes – linen, silk, wool, cotton, etc.
I then put him on a bed which was probably made some Hyde of animal.
I then saw her started to mark his body with a red dye from a mortar and pesto.
"So, who are you?", the orc lady asked.
It caught me off guard but I resolute myself immediately.
"What do you mean?", I said.
"Hmph, try to trick someone else young man.", the orc lady said.
I then immediately casted off polymorphism.
She was not surprised.
"How did you know?", I asked.
"Hmm, orcs always had a hard time learning languages when they speak but I after practicing for a long time was able to speak so smoothly.", she said.
As I then saw her draw several symbols on the body and then she brought out a black thread.
She then started to chant in the while holding a thread.
"Lem' fj sjop jnj klom, kmo ncdh'ni bh jd' sha."
I then suddenly saw the orc float in the air.
Then I saw a black-greenish aura gather above his chest and then suddenly it enter his chest.
I then saw him put down on the bed again and shot back up again.
"Now, go and forget about everything", the orc lady said.
"Okee.", he said as he then walked through the door.
"Let's talk properly.", she said as she then put a stool in-front of me.
I then sat on the stool.
"What do you want from here?", the orc lady asked.
"I want to know what happened in this world?", I said.
"Hmm, ok", she said as she then put a screen and poured a bunch of sand on the screen.
She then started to draw and narrate the story.
"A long-time ago orcs, elves, humans, dwarves lived in harmony. Suddenly, a disease started to spread throughout the whole of living beings. The disease is called killing anyone.", she said.
"Killing anyone?", I asked.
"It's a bad naming choice. But let me continue.", she said as she continued.
"It wiped out whole of elves race and dwarf race. Only orc and human race are alive struggling.", she said.
"There is an antidote right?", I asked.
"Unfortunately, none.", she said.
As I started to think, I remembered something.
"Wait, wait, wait. I heard from the knight general of the legion is that you have holy water which can heal the disease.", I said to her.
"What the hell is that I have never heard of it?", she said as she then stood up and was about to leave.
I then said something to her,
"Do you have heard of the phase 'Salvation of an impure world.'?", I asked.
I then saw her face drop.
"How do you know that phrase?", she said as she looked surprised and was scared.
At that time, I understood something this is not some disease but a planned massacre or a ritual.

Seraphina's POV: -
I was in stress walking left and right.
"Why are you so stressed?", Ollin suddenly appeared on the couch.
"What are you doing here?", I screamed as I was surprised.
"Hmm, I saw you nervous so I just came to ask.", Ollin said as he was now sipping the tea.
"Alright!", I said as I just started to walking again.
"So, can you tell me now?", Ollin asked.
"Ailleen is with that boy in a dungeon what id=f something dangerous happens?", I said as I pointed at something.
"You know, she needs to leave the nest right and the elven king is just not going to sit around?", Ollin said.
"Shit!", I said but I was still nervous.
"Trust him, he will keep her face.", Ollin said.
"Hah! I just hope so.", I sighed as I just hope she was safe.
