Eilin was already on getting maria down, they could not use vante so they had lunaluna help launching eilin up and she used her hammer to successfully smash the chandelier breaking it into pieces and she finally got out. It was barely any time to let maria in on the plan but they managed just in time and she went straight to keeping them off while the others had a well deserved rest.
It took about twenty minutes before the other warriors met up and Yuit filled everyone in on the plan, and it was time to go through with it, they could not afford to mess anything up. First melpha, laila and sigui all had to perform holy poses to be able to weaken the demonic powers of both annelotte and the witch a drastic amount or else there would be no chance on winning. After that everyone took a strategic position and attacked with their separate powers in order to keep having constant damage that did not need break. The holy poses also made any of the witch's demonic allies unable to sneak up and attack them. It did not take long before she visibly got weaker and could barely keep up, but they could not finish her off. She would just come back but yuit also knew of this and planned days ahead, she had gotten a powerful object created in the mel fair land. Salvaged from captain liliana's ship by mirim, izumi, laila and eilin. All she needed was someone with a strong enough magic to seal someone as strong as werbellia into the object, she looked around and did a quick overview of every single person helping them. No one had the powerful magic she needed, so she kept looking.
Mirim cut out of the attacking as she noticed yuit was struggling, she hurried over to her and as yuit told her she immediately knew exactly who had the magic power to do it. "Who better to seal a demon witch than a demon?" Mirim pointed to aldra who was still tied. "She is our only chance, memories or not she still got the power we need." Both of them wasted no time getting to aldra and got her free before handing her the object. She quickly found the correct spell book from one of the walls that were filed with books and started chanting. Annelotte had managed to slip from everyone's attacks and rushed toward aldra but mirim quickly threw annelotte off her path with a heavy blow from the side, though it did not seem to have done any damage it was enough to give aldra the time to finish chanting and it was now too late to stop the binding, all they had to do was getting the witch weak enough, and aldra would be at full power as the witch got sealed it would break the curse.
Aldra was able to join the fight for a while helping mirim to keep annelotte at bay while everyone else got the witch weaker, it was a matter of time before the witch got fully sealed and everyone could see the fog and darkness of the castle and land was lifting, just as it was finished aldra had to step down from the fighting, she finally had gotten the curse off. The fighting all together finally stopped, even annelotte just watched what was going on. Mainly to collect information though, all of the minions seemed to disappear except for airi and melona. Both of which were summoned and not resurrected.
Everyone started turning their attention towards Annelotte, however just like Aldra had gotten more powerful and her curse lifted so had Annelotte. Nobody even knew she had a curse but they could see the power almost glowing around her like an aurora and Aldra was the same. The strongest of the warriors rushed at her and started attacking, Annelotte would continuously push most back except for Aldra which she had to dodge mainly.
Those that did not attack her grouped up behind and started sharing information of anything that could give them the victory, everyone seemed to struggle on finding anything that could be relative until Vante acted out something, Yuit was surprised because this is the second time Vante acted out on her own even though she is just a mere automaton without emotions, and because Vante wasn't supposed to be here in the first place.
She had remembered what had happened the last time she had turned, she managed to remind Yuit of how she managed to stop herself because she was about to hurt her. Yuit then realised the way of getting through to Annelotte and bring her back would be through her heart, Yuit then ran up in the mid of the action and everyone stopped caught off guard. Annelotte quickly again threw her sword about to hit Yuit but she was pulled away just in time by Nowa. "What are you doing? Trying to get yourself killed?" Nowa seemed a bit stressed and everyone else were again fighting. "She is definitely stronger, last time she managed to stop herself to not hurt me." Sainyang quietly spoke up which made everyone not fighting turn their attention to her. "I- i just have had a long time thinking…. and well.. I think i managed to put some puzzle pieces together." They got to a more quiet place away from the fighting so she could explain what she had come to find out.
