The Great sage and The Ex-dark lord are parent and child, and instead of the EDL working in a factory, they work minimum wage at like a restaurant and practices magic on the side like how the GS does. That’s why the GS shows up at the Dark Lord’s castle at the end of Act I (aka before the Darker lord happens).
I’d also like to believe that the Curse and Guardian Spirit know each other and Curse own Guardian $5 dollars, that’s why it helps the MC.
That could explain why the Great Sage didn't get involved in the battle, I imagine they wouldn't want to directly harm their child, even if it meant freeing them from the curse's possession.
