Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Gathering the Curses
Translator: 549690339
“Mia!?”
“I didn’t do anything, it’s this ‘Cursed Object’ itself… Beware, this is a ‘Sensory Curse’!! Oh no, it’s too late!”
Ding, ding, ding!
The ringing sound was piercing.
Having heard the bell, it meant that the curse had invaded the body through the ‘sense of hearing’.
For a while, Han Dong, who had seldom been exposed to curses, immediately felt discomfort at a physiological level.
Oof!!
He staggered and knelt on one knee.
A large amount of filth was vomited out of his mouth, and waves of piercing pain were constantly transmitted from between his organs.
The curse was invisible.
Even though Han Dong’s body was protected by a layer of fungus, it was still useless… Only the latent [G-virus] could resist the erosion of the curse in another way.
When organs decay due to the curse.
The G-virus can stimulate the potential of cells for rapid regeneration, making the speed of regeneration equivalent to the speed of curse wilting… barely supporting the body.
But this is not a solution, the G-virus is only used by Han Dong to call upon a first stage potential, it will not be able to regenerate due to energy dissipation over a long period of time, and may even cause gene disorder due to overstimulation of cell potential… leading to serious death.
The curse intensifies, the pores enlarge.
Filthy liquid oozes from the enlarged pores, this situation is extremely unfavorable.
Duo Zeya’s message arrived:
“Take the people… only our tribe’s Crowman Elder can lift this curse. Your body is not in a good condition, please leave here quickly.”
However, Han Dong remained unmoved, and looked towards the central stone platform.
Even though his mouth was full of foul, smelly liquid, and despite the large area of loose teeth, Han Dong still said in a regular tone:
“Mia, is this the extent of your abilities?”
Seemingly ordinary and simple question, but it touched Mia’s heart.
A few special memories passed through Mia’s mind.
Having once lived in the civilian area, she was treated inhumanely all day… the most frequent words she would hear were from her parents’ similar speech- “What good are you? Go die.”
In an instant, Mia’s eyes were completely dyed a blackish purple color.
Rows of curse-shaped runes covered her whole body, the [Spider Curse] was further stimulated… even though Mia was ‘pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger’, her own strength was not as high as imagined.
The ‘curse level’ she had really touched upon was in fact not that deep.
When further stimulating the curse, related texts cover the whole body.
If Mia doesn’t control it well, she will be backfired by the curse and turn into a senseless human spider, indistinguishable from the [Wild Beasts] lurking in Gaine Forest.
For a moment.
The curse exuded by the bell was suppressed by Mia.
The bell’s ringing gradually stopped.
Meanwhile, the curse originally covering the underground space was also being drawn back into the bell in reverse.
With the naked eye, these texts, moving between the ground and the walls, gradually return to the bell.
Just as all the curse-type words were successively retracted.
Hiss hiss hiss…
Strands of white spider silk were spat out, tightly wrapping the bell.
Through a single strand of spider silk, tied to Mia’s waist, the ‘Cursed Object’ was subdued.
“Phew…”
Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
He relied on the controllable regeneration ability of the G-virus to gradually replace the body that had been eroded by the curse.
Just then!
A sense of danger came.
Mia, who had released the higher level curse, suddenly turned her head… staring at Han Dong with numerous compound eyes, overflowing with a killing intent.
The reason is simple, Han Dong’s last words made her somewhat lose control.
The four hairy spider long legs could pierce Han Dong’s body at any time.
However, Han Dong didn’t make any defensive moves, just quietly staring at Mia… simply eye contact, conveying emotions and information through his eyes.
Slowly.
Mia’s purple-black pupils gradually faded.
“Ah… I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to… I couldn’t control myself just now.”
When Mia’s consciousness returned to normal, she quickly put on her mask.
She sealed up all the Spider Curses and made a pitiful face to apologize to Han Dong.
Then, using the platform here, she made a potion for Han Dong on the spot.
Han Dong shrugged his shoulders, having roughly figured out Mia’s limits through this incident, “I thought you could fully control the Spider Curse… It seems, you’re just a host.”
Mia brought the ground herbs over, and answered somewhat bashfully:
“Oh… I will manage to control it someday.
Hurry up and drink. I increased the dosage of the Nightmare Grass, it will quickly remove the curse in your body. I also mixed in ‘Golden Fern’, which can heal your internal injuries.”
After drinking Mia’s herbal potion, the residual curses in his body were completely cleared, and his bodily functions recovered to eighty, ninety percent.
It has to be said, Mia is very talented in herbology… she could be seen as a versatile, supportive character.
As Han Dong got up to leave, passing by Mia, he murmured softly, “Well done.”
Hearing the rare praise from Han Dong’s mouth, Mia’s face lit up with excitement. She seemed even happier than when praised by the witch, quickly went forward to grab his arm, no longer dwelling on the previous incident.
“Thank you… I’ll behave from now. During the training, I’ll do whatever you ask.”
“Hmm.”
Just as the two were about to exit the curse room, Han Dong suddenly turned around as if detecting something.
In an instant.
Little Demon Eye seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure in a black cloak… the surface of the cloak was covered in a dark gold curse text.
“What’s wrong?”
At Mia’s inquiry, Han Dong couldn’t find any trace of the black cloak figure.
“It’s nothing… let’s go upstairs.”
The stone door opened.
When they returned to the main house.
The irritable, quick-tempered, terrifying farm owner was, amazingly, kneeling with one knee in front of Mia… the rest of the family members were also like this; all because of the bell hanging at Mia’s waist.
Mia had controlled the bell, which made her their master.
Ring Ring Ring!
When Mia instinctively rang the bell.
The directional curse text released from inside the bell wrapped around the family of four.
They felt a sense of ‘collecting’. The farm owner and his family who were originally part of the curse life were turned into different curse sources and sucked into the bell.
Owner Murphy turned into a small iron nail,
Mother Berlin turned into a rotten finger bone,
Elder daughter Trisi turned into a human face skin,
The younger daughter Roxy turned into a rough rag doll,
With this, the cursed object is complete and transforms into the ‘Victoria’s Butler Bell’… one can summon ‘Cursed House’ by using it.
The longer the summoning time, the more energy will be consumed.
This cursed object essentially is a chaotic item… it has high value. Since Mia controls it, it naturally belongs to her.
“Phew… this is the best outcome I expected. With this family’s assist, we can speed up our entrance to the Great Lord’s residence.”
“Vice-captain! Was this your plan from the beginning?”
Blacksmith Winry was a bit stunned.
Although she had taken action many times in this incident… she always felt that she was just part of the crowd, wasn’t able to touch the root of the matter.
Ultimately, the curse event was accomplished by the vice-captain.
“Yes… the resources that can be used should be used as much as possible since this is not the final task.”
Winry asked puzzledly: “But, wasn’t ‘breaking the curse’ the final task requirement for this ‘Wheat Area’? Can it be counted as finished like this?”
“Mia has turned the source of the curse into her own, and the curses spread in the farm have disappeared along with it, isn’t it one of the ways of ‘breaking the curse’?
The series of tasks formulated by the Knight Regiment are flexible.
If you only look at the surface, it would be difficult to solve the fundamental problem, and you would waste a lot of time on some unnecessary things.”
“Ah…”Winry instantly felt as if her intelligence had been suppressed, felt unreasonably stupid, and could only helplessly scratch her head.
The curse was lifted.
The group left the curse space.
But… there were intense sounds of fighting from the small town not far away.
