### 204

You sense that the stone radiates pure evil. If you can only turn the stone's power against the Darklord, it will drain his strength and make him fade from this dimension. Although the stone cannot kill Haakon, it can at least banish him to a place where he can no longer harm you.

If you wish to try to grab the stone and turn it on your enemy, turn to 268.

If you wish to ignore the stone and attack the Darklord with your own weapon, turn to 390.
