La maschera del demonio Page #4

he ripped through this canvas.

Look!

Be careful.

It's completely dark here.

A secret passage!

Then my father was not delirious.

His last words were:

"The silver griffin...

the man in the portrait..."

And this is where I found the dogs with

their throats sliced after Kruvajan disappeared .

Let's go.

Stand guard here, Ivan, and

make sure the door doesn't close.

Yes, sir.

It's the same face as the portrait in the salon.

It's the witch!

How did you know about her?

I saw her when Doctor Kruvajan

and I visited the crypt.

Hold this!

Two days ago, the sarcophagus

was untouched, and the witch...

She looks as if she has just died.

Look!

She is breathing!

What a terrifying phenomenon!

I'm going to fetch the priest!

Return to the castle and don't leave Katia alone.

Quick, we don't have any time to lose!

Go that way, you'll get to the stables quicker.

After all you have told

me, everything is clear.

We are facing the unleashed powers of the Devil.

The ancient words on the icon explain

exactly what must be done.

We must find the grave of Javutich...

before sunset!

Father!

The Mask of Satan.

Like the one I saw over the witch's face.

It's just as I thought.

We will find him here.

Look!

A freshly dug grave!

Open the coffin!

Doctor Kruvajan!

But last night,

he was still alive.

I saw him!

No, he was already dead.

But it's impossible, Father.

He moved, he even spoke

to me, and then he ran away.

Sometimes Satan, with his

great capacity for doing evil,

even plays tricks with the dead.

You see?

Here is the proof.

Now we have to find a way

to let his soul to rest in peace.

How?

The inscription on the icon...

...indicates the only way.

The spell is broken.

Poor Kruvajan.

We have to act.

Quickly, now that everything is clear.

The witch turned your friend

into a slave of the Devil.

Dead during the day, but alive by night.

So he could carry out the

malignant orders of his master.

Then the Princess, too...

Yes. We have no time to lose,

or the witch may regain her life.

How?

By possessing the body

of another young woman.

Katia!

Yes, Katia.

Run to the castle.

It's already late!

Before the sun goes down, you

must pierce the left eye of the witch.

Go now. I will do the same to the body

of Boris, which is still in the sacristy...

...and then I'll join you.

Constantin!

Ivan!

Is anyone there?

Where is everyone?

Help me!

Where are you?

Help me, Father!

Help me!

Don't leave me alone with all these horrors!

I'm no longer your father.

My blood is no longer your blood.

The spirits of evil have broken that tie between

us forever. Cursed fluids flow through your body!

Constantin!

Ivan!

Open up!

Your vengeance is at hand, Asa.

Finally the hour of our freedom strikes.

Where are you?

You are ignoring the fact that

you were born for this moment,

and that your life has been

consecrated to me by Satan.

But you sensed it, didn't you?

You sensed it.

That's why my portrait fascinated

and terrified you.

You felt that your life and body were mine.

You felt like me because you

were destined to become me.

A living corpse.

The love of that young man could have

saved you from this curse, you know.

But I was stronger.

Now you will enjoy a beautiful new life,

full of evil and hate, with me.

-Constantin.

-Don't worry about me.

Save Katia.

Don't lose time.

Save Katia from the witch.

Katia, thank God

I have arrived in time!

She wanted to kill me.

Do something before it's too late.

I couldn't do it.

Quickly.

Yes, you are right.

We must destroy her.

Now I know how it can be done.

Don't look, it's horrible,

but there is no other way.

But... this is your cross.

Katia...

How is this possible?

I understand.

Come...

I am not your love.

There she lies, devastated, lost forever.

My vengeance is complete.

Her entire family has been annihilated.

Look at me, Andre.

Look into my eyes,

like Kruvajan did that night.

and like him, lose yourself deep in my eyes.

You too will feel the immense joy of hating.

Look at me.

She, she is the witch.

Don't be deceived by her face.

Look at her body.

She is transforming herself into Katia

by draining her life's blood.

Two centuries ago,

a storm prevented the flames

from destroying the wicked soul of the witch.

Today, her innocent victims

have broken the spell.

Why...

Why was she taken away from me, Father?

Katia's beauty is dying with her.

My life has finally come to an end.

How can I ever forget?

How can I resign myself?

I will never find peace again.

Look...

her young body, destroyed.

Father!

Many thanks to Elisa, Samsa, Tiz and Massimo
