Curse Magic Sweeps the Field

On the outskirts, Dean Ornis spat out a mouthful of blood. Almost all the magic power in his body had been depleted; even if he tried to forcefully cast a spell, his body could no longer endure it.

Most of the other teachers were in the same state. Only Ivin Anxia was doing somewhat better. As a Half-Elf, she recovered magic power much faster than humans.

Dean Ornis closed his eyes in pain. Today would most likely be the day the Uruk Kingdom fell.

Arthurx folded his arms and looked down at him from above, sneering. "Why aren't you resisting? Out of magic power? Weak humans are always constrained by magic power. Hahaha."

"What exactly are you?"

At that moment, Hekate flew before the dean, staring at the Corpse King in confusion and blocking his next move.

A local thing that even Star did not know about. How unusual.

Arthurx frowned and casually unleashed several Arcane Blades. He sneered, "An Intermediate Mage dares join our battle? You must be tired of living."

The teachers from Glantz were all startled by Hekate's sudden appearance.

Teacher Ivin flashed in front of Hekate and raised a Magic Shield, blocking every Arcane Blade. She scolded, "What are you doing here?! Get back inside the city!"

Hekate shook her head. "Teacher, it's fine."

She grabbed Teacher Ivin by the shoulders and pushed her back. Teacher Ivin was too weak to resist and was shoved directly behind her.

"Heh. Your strength may be weak, but you have plenty of nerve."

Hekate calmly looked at the one speaking and repeated her question. "What exactly are you?"

Arthurx snorted and did not answer. The aura of a 5-star Archmage erupted instantly. Water vapor in the surroundings began to condense, and abnormal gravity pressed down upon everyone. Teacher Ivin and Dean Ornis were both suppressed so thoroughly that they could not speak.

Their magic power was already exhausted. They could no longer break through the shackles of magic and could only watch Arthurx chant in despair.

Streams of water began winding around him, clearly the prelude to a large-scale spell.

However, Hekate was not included in that gravity control. She easily broke free from the gravitational lock, resonated with the Star of Thunder Element, and pointed at Arthurx. "Summon Thunder."

Rumble—

Blinding lightning crashed down upon its target with overwhelming force.

Arthurx's expression changed drastically. He recognized it as the basic spell, Summon Thunder Technique, but its magic power was nothing like that of an Intermediate Mage. It was instead at the level of a Magus or higher!

He immediately canceled his chant and kept shifting his body, trying to evade the lightning. However, this spell was a locking skill to begin with. Arthurx realized this as well and roared, "Phantom!"

All the lightning struck Phantom, triggering a violent explosion of magic power. The terrifying light forced everyone to close their eyes.

There was no way she was an Intermediate Mage!

The magic power fluctuations around her were fake!

Everyone stared at Hekate in shock.

"You're the mage who's been secretly cursing me?!" Arthurx finally realized, his face dark as he asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'd rather know what exactly you are. As far as I know, you're already dead, aren't you?"

Hekate spoke with wide eyes. She had no intention of exposing her curse abilities. Star could help her block all divination magic, but if she exposed her own identity, wouldn't that make blocking it pointless?

"Hmph, what do you mortals know? Ants on the ground will never understand the gods above High Heaven. To them, death is nothing more than a toy." Arthurx sneered, then said, "You seem to be a genius as well. Why not join our Chaos Kingdom and see the true High Heaven?"

Dean Ornis and the other teachers all looked toward Hekate.

Hekate smiled. "High Heaven? I believe man can conquer Heaven."

Teacher Ivin looked at Hekate in surprise. She had not expected someone so young to possess such thoughts.

Had Hekate awakened the inheritance within her Legendary Bloodline?

According to legend, powerful races could leave inheritances within their bloodlines, allowing their descendants to gain supreme wisdom and experience.

"Hahaha, good! Then die!"

Black energy surged from Arthurx's body. In the blink of an eye, it spread across the entire sky above the outskirts like an enormous demon, turning the clear sky black.

"I will sacrifice every last one of you to My God!" Bloodthirsty light burst from Arthurx's eyes as he charged at Hekate, trying to seize her in one grab.

Hekate chuckled. It seemed everyone assumed that because she was petite, her body must be fragile. Yet every time, she saw shock in her enemies' eyes. This time would be no exception.

Star of Wind Element!

Hekate resonated with another Star, and her body became light in an instant. Her small fist was as fast as lightning as it slammed into the Corpse King's face.

Bang!

Arthurx was instantly punched so hard that his face twisted out of shape. He was driven into the earth, vomiting blood wildly. When he looked up at Hekate, his eyes were filled with horror.

The Chaos mages nearby, as well as the mages from Glantz, were dumbfounded.

It was already absurd enough that your magic power was so strong, but your physical strength was this terrifying too?

Are you even human?

Teacher Ivin, on the other hand, was somewhat excited.

Bloodline inheritance, overwhelming physical strength—these traits perfectly matched the legendary Dragon Race!

No wonder Hekate said exposing information would bring trouble. That was the Dragon Race, which had vanished since ancient times. Their history was even older than that of the Elf Clan.

"With strength like yours, you actually hid away in a single kingdom. I misjudged you! But do you think this is all I have? Hahaha, I am immortal! As long as the God of High Heaven watches over me, I will never die!" Arthurx's dented face was rapidly recovering, and a wild grin appeared on it.

Damn it, he's actually this arrogant.

Hekate was speechless. "So what if you can't die? Can you beat me?"

"I am one favored by High Heaven. My servants, sacrifice all your lives to me!" Arthurx's body slowly merged into the darkness.

When the Chaos mages below heard that their king intended to sacrifice them, they all began to panic.

Hekate frowned. He even knew sacrificial magic.

She immediately pointed toward the sky, pouring surging magic power into it. Dark clouds formed out of thin air.

Want to perform a sacrifice? Then I'll kill all your sacrifices first!

In an instant, Hekate unleashed Thunder Fire Tribulation over a thousand times. Dense dark clouds packed the space beneath the black curtain, and lightning even denser than raindrops struck the ground in an instant.

The black curtain shattered, and sunlight emerged.
