It's better for the brat to engage the demons in the air than to fight them on the ground. The brat is doomed. He can't fly. He's in the middle of the cursed land, the land cursed by the sea god. If he tries to fight there, he's going to be killed by the cursed place's curse. Also, anyone who tries to set foot in this cursed place will be killed instantly by the curse. If they're stronger than the three demons, then they'll also be killed immediately. The teleport circle was a trap to lure in the warsaints and kill them. They're only three of them, and they'd have been dead by now. What's a curious place? You don't know it yet. Ever since this cursed land appeared, all the races have built circles connecting to it everywhere. The purpose of that, says the brat, is to defeat those who are stronger than them. If you step on one of the wrong ones, you're toast. That would be the worst way to die, the brat says. The nocturnals pay special attention to the brat because of his sword spirit. The first statue is for the Lord of eternal night, the second is for thousand daemons, and the third is for Lord of slaughter. It looks exactly like your sword spirit, he says. He asks the brat why it looks like one of his lords.
