The companion beside him was splattered with blood.
He covered his face and let out a miserable scream.
The skin on his face that had come into contact with the blood corroded at a horrifying speed, soon exposing the stark white bone beneath.
The other God-chosen hurriedly cast purification and dispelling spells. One God-chosen with healing abilities placed a hand on him and used his power to treat his wounds.
Flesh buds quickly grew over the God-chosen's rotting face, rapidly repairing his damaged flesh.
But Desire's expression was exceedingly grim.
His guess had been wrong.
Even gouging out the man's eyes in time had failed to save his life. This curse was truly tyrannical—and terrifying.
And what exactly was the medium of the curse... How many people at the scene had already been affected?
Desire swept his gaze over the other God-chosen.
Every single one of them carried a strange aura. It filled the entire cave, making it impossible to tell whether it was evidence of the curse or merely the aura they had been contaminated with inside the cave.
The curse had not stopped.
Very soon, another God-chosen felt his eyes begin to itch. "Lord Desire! My eyes! My eyes!"
Crack, crack, crack...
This time, Desire did not gouge out the man's eyes. Instead, he had the others try purification and dispelling spells.
Numerous abilities descended upon the man in quick succession.
Unfortunately, the man's eyes twitched unnaturally. His two eyeballs turned in different directions as though beyond his control, bulging outward as if they were about to fall out.
Desire could see a black shadow flash within the eyeballs.
It kept crawling around inside them before suddenly breaking through the outer layer of the eyeball and burrowing into the brain.
Pop!
The eyeballs burst, and the brain exploded
