The Grade 0 Sealed Artifact bestowed by the Mother Tree of Desire primarily induced fear in its target and delivered angel-level mental attacks.
It was best suited for Beyonders of the Devil pathway.
Thus, when the Blatherer of the Nois Family used the Sealed Artifact, Raphael immediately suffered a crushing blow to his mind and emotions. He had to use his two personalities to resist the fear and the mental attack separately.
Even with the Dark Hut's help, Raphael only barely managed to withstand the Sealed Artifact's attack.
The Nois Family saint was momentarily surprised. This Sealed Artifact had never struggled against a saint before.
The next second, the Blatherer's head suddenly began melting like a candle-
Not only did Raphael continue purifying himself, but he intensified his efforts, constantly "bathing" in holy light, until even the Blatherer began showing signs of dissolution from the purification.
At the same time, Sun Flare could effectively dispel the fear in Raphael's heart.
Just as the Nois Family saint was about to give out, the Andariel Family saint who had fallen into the sea finally recovered. The arm on the side Raphael had stabbed was now completely immobile. Holding a small glob of bright red blood in his other palm, he floated back to the surface.
The small glob of blood seemed to boil all of a sudden, releasing a series of terrifying cries.
Raphael's mind instantly went blank. He could barely think, let alone move.
That glob of bright red blood clearly allowed the Andariel Family saint to use certain abilities of an Archduke of Blood.
Since Raphael was currently using Source of Curses, all attacks would be transferred to someone else. Temporarily immobilizing him was indeed the best choice.
After all, his Source of Curses was only at the saint level.
