SSR-Quality Curse Ability

"Boss, you're so strong!"

"Boss, let the two of us follow you!"

"Pei Qi, this is our opportunity."

"Glasses, will we really be together forever?"

"Pei Qi, I'll protect you!"

"You're my life!"

"Glasses, you just want to trick me into having babies for you..."

"Boss, we've eaten already. You should eat!"

"Then let's be your friends..."

"During our first-year university break, the three of us can travel together!"

"My name is Li Keqing. Li as in plum tree, Ke as in cola, Qing as in clear skies."

Those words flashed through Xin Yang's mind.

Replaying like a slideshow...

That girl had not even had time to call Glasses "dear."

Xin Yang felt a tearing pain that sank into his bones.

It was as if a wail of grief rose from the depths of his heart.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

Some people, clearly, were only known for a short time.

Yet after meeting them, it felt as though they had been known forever.

"Friends."

The older brother seemed to sense his younger brother's anguish as well.

He woke up...

"Little brother, what happened?"

"Big brother, can I ask something of you?"

"Speak!"

"Kill those two beasts in front of us."

The younger brother's words carried hysterical hatred.

"Alright!"

The older brother took control of the body.

For some reason...

Drought Demon watched this last human.

Slowly climb up from the ground.

For an instant, Drought Demon felt a shudder of terror from the depths of its soul...

Drought Demon's expression darkened...

The red-hooded figure still wore a delighted smile, failing to notice the change in Drought Demon's expression.

Xin Yang (Big Brother), wearing a twisted face that was both mournful and horrifying, staggered toward Drought Demon.

"Although I don't know what happened to my little brother over the past few hours."

"You will both die here today..."

"Just you?" The red-hooded figure mocked Xin Yang (Big Brother). "My lord, please kill this man quickly."

Drought Demon stared at the strange man before it.

Its instincts vaguely urged it to "run" immediately?

Drought Demon shook its head, casting aside its unsettled thoughts.

It thought, he was merely a human at the second rank of Calamity Specter.

Then it controlled its ghostly energy.

And shot it toward Xin Yang (Big Brother).

Xin Yang (Big Brother) died.

Drought Demon seemed to see the cold smile between that man's brows before his death.

[You have been killed by the eighth-rank Calamity Soul Specter, Drought Demon]

[Extracting a random reward from the opponent]

[Obtained lifespan: one year]

Drought Demon glanced at Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s corpse. Without further thought, it turned to leave.

"Friends, I haven't let you two leave yet..."

"You made my little brother suffer so much."

"How could I possibly let you go?"

Xin Yang (Big Brother) pressed his lips together, drew a deep breath, and slowly sat up from the ground...

He rose to his feet, his gaze falling on Drought Demon. Violent killing intent seemed to blaze fiercely in his eyes...

He walked toward Drought Demon step by step.

Drought Demon revealed a bewildered expression.

It hurriedly used a ghostly skill.

Xin Yang (Big Brother) was killed once more!

[You have been killed by the eighth-rank Calamity Soul Specter, Drought Demon]

[Extracting a random reward from the opponent]

[Obtained attribute: Ghostly Energy +66]

Still uneasy, Drought Demon used a ghostly skill to crush Xin Yang (Big Brother) into minced flesh before finally letting out a long breath.

He revived once again...

"Since I was little, I promised my little brother that I would never let him be harmed again!"

Seeing Xin Yang (Big Brother) revive yet again, the red-hooded figure said to the Corpse King in a trembling voice:

"My lord, how about we leave first? This kid is too strange."

"I said you're both dying here today." Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s voice was eerie and terrifying.

Drought Demon's movements became abnormal, as though it felt an invisible pressure.

This time, it held nothing back. It aimed at Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s heart and head.

Punch after punch, Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s head burst apart like a watermelon, red and white splattering everywhere. His heart was blown apart by a single punch as well.

[You have been killed by the eighth-rank Calamity Soul Specter, Drought Demon]

[Extracting a random reward from the opponent]

[Obtained SSR-quality curse ability: Drought Demon Form]

[Drought Demon Form analysis: Each activation of Drought Demon Form consumes one month of lifespan. The duration of Drought Demon Form is linked to Ghostly Energy. Once Ghostly Energy is depleted, maintaining Drought Demon Form will continue to consume lifespan]

[You have been killed by Drought Demon three times. You will be unable to obtain rewards from subsequent deaths by Drought Demon]

"Hiss~ It's finally my turn." Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s sinister, ghostly words made Drought Demon immediately realize something was wrong.

Drought Demon felt the most fundamental power in its bloodline vanish. Its limbs began to weaken and go limp.

A flicker of excitement crossed Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s gloomy eyes. In a grating tone, using a voice no normal human could make, he said:

"Heehee, let's play a game, you two!" He pointed at Drought Demon and the red-hooded figure. "I'll count to ten! You run first, and after I count to ten... I'll come catch you... Anyone I catch gets punished!"

The Drought Demon Corpse King did not answer yes or no. Instead, it grabbed the red-hooded figure and turned to flee.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Ten..."

"Here I come~ Heehee!"

Xin Yang (Big Brother) instantly activated Drought Demon Form. At that moment, he seemed to become a true Specter, ghostly flames burning over his body as an incomparably violent aura erupted from him.

Xin Yang (Big Brother) felt the endless stream of power within his body.

He summoned Little Black Ball and had it coil around his arm.

Then he sprinted toward Drought Demon...

Carrying that heavy oppressive force, Xin Yang (Big Brother) swiftly reached Drought Demon!

"Didn't we agree on ten seconds?"

The gloomy "big brother," stripped of all human aura and shedding his disguise.

"Hiss, why should I reason with a zombie?"

Xin Yang (Big Brother) tore Drought Demon's heart out with one claw.

Drought Demon's disgusting corpse blood flowed from the wound, making the scene ever bloodier.

"I said you're dying here today."

Before Drought Demon died,

It cast a shocked glance at Little Black Ball, which was coiled around Xin Yang's arm.

[You have killed the eighth-rank Calamity Soul Specter: Drought Demon]

[Companion Specter Little Black Ball has been enhanced]

[Current level: sixth-rank Calamity Specter]

Seeing that Drought Demon had not lasted even a single exchange, the red-hooded figure immediately knelt before Xin Yang (Big Brother) and pleaded:

"My lord, since you are a Specter, why oppose our Ghost God Cult? I am willing to introduce you to a Blue-Robed Priest."

Under the moonlight, one side of Xin Yang (Big Brother)'s face brightened while the other dimmed.

The red-hooded figure struggled to stop his teeth from chattering and anxiously said:

"My lord, for the Ghost God Cult to have the honor of meeting you would be our privilege!"

Xin Yang (Big Brother) looked down at the red-hooded figure. A mocking smile slowly pulled across his expressionless face.

"I said you're dying here today."

As he spoke, Xin Yang (Big Brother) gripped the red-hooded figure's head with one hand and his neck with the other, then gave a vicious pull.

The red-hooded figure's head separated from his body!

After killing Drought Demon and the red-hooded figure,

The "younger brother," who had remained silent all this time, finally spoke.

The moment the "younger brother" spoke,

The "older brother" sensed the endless, icy grief surging from deep within his little brother's heart!

"Big brother..."

"What is it?"

"I think we have a purpose in this world now."

"What purpose?"

"Kill every Specter in this world!"

"Kill all the scum of the Ghost God Cult!"

"Let's change this world!"

"Big brother, you'll stay with me forever, right?"

The "younger brother" asked the same question Pei Qi had once asked Glasses.

"I'll protect you forever!"

"Until forever..."

But what Xin Yang and his older brother did not know was this:

After they left the place where "Peggy" and "Glasses" had been buried,

Two wisps of remnant souls flew toward Little Black Ball...
