After the failure of the first spell, Elena used a second one. This time the spell she used was a dark elemental curse spell. It did not damage the target as much as the first fire elemental spell but the restrictions it had were almost none. Unlike "Flames of Retribution", the "Soul Eroding Curse" could target someone if the medium of the curse was even slightly related to the target.
This time Elena did not fail. Her spell managed to successfully located the source of the parasites. So Elena used her senses to track it and soon found a severed tentacle. This severed tentacle was burried underground inside a dense forest.
It looked like the main culprit had created these parasites by cutting parts from the tentacles. But then that person had also severed the whole tentacle alongside a part of his soul and had burried that here. In this way, even after tracking down the source of the parasites, someone would be unable to find the main culprit.
