Theresa's problem was the most troublesome. If it was not dealt with immediately, the other parts of her soul might also be affected. After Shade tried washing her arm with the holy water he had brought and saw that the black runes still had not vanished, he could only ask Sister Belen:
"Can flames cleanse these curses?"
The nun beside the table nodded gently.
"They can, but I cannot do it in my current condition."
Sister Belen's problem was that she had been affected by the power of an evil entity, and the First Fire within her had been suppressed to the verge of silence. In fact, ever since arriving in this world, she had not been in perfect condition. Shade had known during his first visit that she was temporarily unable to draw the Ashes Greatsword.
To solve Theresa's problem, they first had to solve the nun's problem. And the nun's problem was actually very easy to solve. The Primordial Fire could theoretically burn anything away; it was just that most things lacked enough power to become fuel and strengthen the First Fire.
Though the flame within the nun had been suppressed, it could directly burn away the lingering power of the evil entity as long as they found a way to release it again. She could not do it herself at present, but the First Fire in Shade's body was not only complete, but exceptionally vigorous.
He moved over a chair and sat beside Sister Belen. Taking hold of her left hand, he did not forget to say:
"The nun from the future asked me to pass along a message. The sword, the fire, and the eyepatch have all been passed down well."
Sister Belen nodded lightly. Then she "saw" flames emerge from Shade's palm and flow continuously
