FLUOSH!
For a moment, I found myself both awake and asleep, part of my mind drifting into a land of darkness, with countless fragmented memories of this woman, whom I didn't really care about.
I waved my hand, passing through them and reaching deeper into the curse.
There, I found something, a presence, but I was stopped, a wall before my eyes, made of concentrated black clouds.
And then something.
A guardian.
"GRYAAARR!"
A monster leaped towards me, its form resembling an elongated humanoid creature, with a demon-like head, charcoal black skin and scales, and sharp red horns.
Its mouth constantly released black, ghostly foam-like ethereal essence.
"A Nightmare Demonic Beast, Belphegor's creations."
The creature leaped towards me, swinging its claws against me, aiming to slash through my soul.
I didn't move, as I let it attack me, slashing me, and biting me.
To its surprise, however.
"Unfortunately for you, I am not something you can easily snack on."
