The Holy Knight inquisitors and enforcement team members froze, their breakout attempt faltering.

A Tier Three member of the enforcement team convulsed, his skin suddenly turning crimson as flames seemed to erupt from his eyes.

"Hold him down! Purify the curse!"
The Holy Priest reacted fastest, immediately raising his staff as Holy Light began to rapidly converge at its tip.
However, he had only just raised his staff when a sharp whistle cut through the air.
