Calvin, Pregnant with Twins

It's truly a duel filled with honor!

Calvin wore a smile.

He could already imagine himself winning this duel, reclaiming everything he had lost, and becoming the center of attention once more!

But in the next second, he was taken aback.

Because he realized that Xian Zong's Blessing Magic was actually being cast on him.

The amulet he wore didn't vibrate; this wasn't a Curse, it was indeed Blessing Magic.

"Wait, are you this honorable, man?" Calvin's smile became a bit stiff.

Who would cast a blessing on their opponent before a fight?

But in the next second, he couldn't smile anymore.

Because Calvin felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

A very strange pain.

He had never experienced such an unfamiliar pain: the pain wasn't intense at first, like a gentle pat; then, it gradually deepened, like hundreds of feet kicking his abdomen.

The pain intensified, and Calvin began to break out in a cold sweat.

He looked down and discovered in horror.

His abdomen was rapidly expanding, swelling up like an inflated balloon with every heartbeat!

What's more, the amulet necklace remained completely still, not even flickering. It only distinguished between attacks and curses.

"Did you get this from a wholesale market?"

"I'm already like this."

"This isn't a Curse, it's a blessing?"

"Whose damned god's blessing is this!"

It's not that Calvin was being overly dramatic; the "Gift of the Mother Goddess of Life" had rarely been redeemed by Esoteric Cultists before.

Reducing movement speed by twenty percent for ten minutes was too useless for fanatics who pursued destructive power.

Moreover, it consumed four Magic Points. The mana cost of a Mid-tier Magic was almost equivalent to High-tier Magic; it could drain a person dry.

After all, not everyone was as extravagant as Ansu, the Child of Curse, whose Dark Magic had its mana cost halved.

The pain finally reached its peak, as if tearing his abdomen apart.

Calvin finally realized the terrible truth, a truth he dared not believe or admit.

His eyes were about to burst with rage. He had never been so angry before. He glared fiercely at Xian Zong, vowing to grind him into dust!

He was about to activate his Staff and unleash a powerful attack on him.

But he saw the other party calmly and decisively mount his horse, whip it, and gallop directly towards the distant mountains.

"Why are you turning and heading into the mountains!"

"Wasn't this supposed to be a duel of honor!"

Calvin was about to give chase, but the movement aggravated his abdomen, and the pain made him miserable, slowing him down considerably.

[Speed reduced by twenty percent, duration ten minutes]

He quickly checked his status and slowly sat on his beloved horse, intending to pursue the man.

When it came to riding, Calvin was confident he wouldn't lose to anyone.

This mare was exceptionally spirited, a true Sacred Knight with a trace of Divine Beast bloodline, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day and immune to curses—it was his pride and joy.

Furthermore, Xian Zong was riding a horse-drawn carriage, and it was carrying such a heavy load.

If he were Xian Zong, he would have abandoned the carriage and fled, and with luck, might even survive.

Calvin snorted disdainfully.

He had just mounted his horse and hadn't even whipped it a few times when he saw Xian Zong turn his head and, in that same sacred and solemn tone, loudly declare, "Gift of the Gods!"

"Gift of the Gods—who is this for this time?"

Calvin was dumbfounded. He had already been affected once, but he quickly realized.

The target of the spell—

It was his Sacred Knight, His beloved mare beneath him!

"You bastard, are you even going to violate a mare!"

The Sacred Knight let out a mournful whinny. Normally, this wouldn't be much for a horse, But this was a Void creature. Sensing that evil aura, the sacred horse let out a terrified and panicked cry, unable to move further. It directly threw Calvin to the ground.

This was also one of Ansu's experimental subjects; he wanted to test whether the Gift of the Gods was effective on animals with Divine Beast bloodlines.

This fall from the horse directly startled the infant, and the pain reached its peak.

"How dare you hurt my horse!"

"Ahhhhh, I'm going to kill you, I absolutely will kill you ahhhhhh!!"

He endured the searing pain, stood up, waved his staff, and cast a mid-tier blessing magic on himself.

Assistance of the Wind Spirit

Magic Effect: Increases movement speed by 30% for fifteen minutes, consuming 4 Magic Points.

This spellbook further explained the reason why Gift of the Mother Goddess of Life was unpopular.

Any speed-boosting magic could negate its effect, and the mana cost was the same.

But this damned magic was torturous!

Calvin broke out in a cold sweat, his mouth twitching fiercely. He ignored the startled mare that had fled and, with the Assistance of the Wind Spirit, desperately chased forward.

I will kill you.

As long as Calvin could hold this guy off until the other saints arrived, they could join forces to kill Xian Zong.

"You dismount too!"

He finally swung his staff, and a holy spear shot straight out, piercing the plain and hitting Xian Zong's horse directly. The horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.

This holy spear, named [Spear of Radiance], was a unique effect of his title The Radiant One. He could fire it three times a day, each shot possessing the power of a top-tier Tier 1 magic, and it consumed no Magic Points.

Without his mount, Xian Zong had to dismount from his carriage.

Now, he can't escape, Calvin's mouth split into an excited grin, his eyes a little manic.

"You can't run anymore!"

Xian Zong stood calmly on the plain, as if contemplating something, and slowly turned around.

He looked at Calvin, who was rushing over, covered in sweat. A bright, sunny smile appeared on his lips, like that of a cheerful young man.

The experiment was on the second-to-last step.

"Use title—"

Xian Zong opened his arms towards Calvin, "[Gradual Eastern Dawn]."

[God-Bestowed Title: Gradual Eastern Dawn]

[Title Effect: Can stack one additional Dark Magic buff effect on the target caster, usable only once per day]

This title stacked Dark Magic buff effects, regardless of whether it was a Curse or a blessing.

Therefore, even [Gift of the Gods] could be stacked by this title!

Calvin's body froze.

He couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it, didn't want to believe it—

His trembling hand slowly reached towards his abdomen.

His abdomen was swollen. Double.

It had grown by a full two sizes.

[Received Blessing—Gift of the Gods]

[Affected by Title 'Gradual Eastern Dawn', effects stacked twice]

[Speed reduced by 40%, after negating the 'Assistance of the Wind Spirit' buff, it becomes a 10% reduction, lasting for ten minutes]

An unparalleled pain surged directly to the top of his head.

Calvin looked up, staring directly at Xian Zong's 'Gradual Eastern Dawn' title, his gaze vacant.

He was pregnant.
