Curse

The Courage to fight against heaven and earth and to wield a sword against the True God instantly filled Lumian's entire body. He straightened his back and looked firmly and fearlessly at the destroyed Palace complex in the Pale Kingdom.

Just then, his eyelids drooped uncontrollably, obscuring his eyes.

Almost simultaneously, the voice of the "Knight of Swords" echoed in his ears again:

"The target is Oseto’s Child, not the Corpse of the Ancient God."

This was to prevent Lumian from looking directly at the Corpse of the Ancient Death God across the Paleness Wilderness.

"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Lumian quickly replied.

Once his voice left his mouth, it too was "infected" by the Paleness that ruled this world, becoming weak, Cavern, and devoid of emotion.

The "Knight of Swords" earnestly advised, "But this will affect our battle with the children of Oseto, and we must resolve it as soon as possible."

"Once we achieve this goal, you can do whatever you want."

Lumian paused for a second before saying, "Okay."

To be honest, wearing the Golden Mask of the Aegis Family and in Undead state, he felt a blood-rooted fear and awe for the Ancestor of the Phoenixes's Corpse perched atop the "Death God's " Palace. This fear was not dispelled by Courage; in fact, it weakened his Courage to some extent, creating a balance.

Otherwise, Lumian, wielding the "Sword of Courage," would definitely not be so easy to talk to!

Lumian immediately ignited a Blazing White Flames, which transformed into a bright spear, and hurled it towards the relatively intact buildings at the edge of the Palace complex.

As the Flame Spear pierced the sky, it was constantly corroded by the Paleness, dissipating and dimming faster and faster, causing Lumian to fly only half the planned distance.

Finally, the Paleness flames died down, and Lumian appeared in mid-air before falling straight to the ground.

His feet landed firmly on the Wilderness, making only a soft thud, and the surroundings were deathly quiet.

The Blazing White Flame Spear flew up once more.

After five such attempts, Lumian finally arrived at a Tower inlaid with many gold patterns. Standing at the top, the figure of the Monster child Oseto became increasingly clear in his Eyes.

Although the other party did not display the possible, incomplete Mythical Creature Form, Lumian felt dizzy and experienced convulsing pain simply from seeing the bent human hands and feet, the head formed by the fusion of several infant heads, and the half -Paleness, half-brown feathered wings extending from the back of the torso.

In addition, something seemed to be calling out from inside his body, slowly gathering in his abdomen.

That's Ombella's Bloodline!

Lumian was not afraid because of this.

Wasn't this bound to happen?

The next second, two figures appeared in front of him.

One woman wore a black Gothic Court Long Dress, a small soft hat of the same color, and her hair was tied up in a pale gold bun. The other woman had slightly messy hair, White Shirt, and a traditional Black Waistcoat.

Sharon, Temperance Faction Half-God, Maric, the Knight of Swords, Temperance Faction Member and Minor Arcana Holder of the "Tarot Club"!

After getting close to their main target, they finally broke free of Lumian's body and prepared for battle.

Of course, the colors on Sharon and Maric were based on Lumian's previous impressions and were not actually reflected; they were both Paleness and dull at this moment.

In addition, their bodies all appeared as transparent and ethereal "Wraith".

Otherwise, they would die instantly, becoming truly Undead without any intelligence.

The Oseto child, which was circling near the abdomen of the Ancient Death God's Corpse, also noticed Lumian and the others approaching. It turned its body slightly to the side from a distance of two or three thousand meters away and looked over with its twelve eyes huddled together.

Lumian immediately felt that his spirit and consciousness, protected by the Golden Mask of the Aegis Family, as well as the life force hidden deep within his spirit and consciousness, were showing signs of dissipation.

In his eyes, That One Temperance Faction Half-God named Sharon, using the mirror-like effect of the pure gold surface, flickered twice between the crumbling Palace and Tower, arriving at a place only three or four hundred meters away from the Corpse of the Ancestor of the Phoenixes.

She opened her mouth toward Oseto’s Child and let out a shrill cry.

This was the first time Lumian had heard Sharon's voice.

The sound, eroded by the Paleness of the journey of over two thousand meters, was reduced to a faint trace by the time it reached Lumian's ears, almost like a hallucination.

Oseto’s Child didn't think so. The half -Paleness, half-brown feathers on its wings fell off rapidly, and the eyes on its face burst open one after another. The flesh and blood on its body, which was not covered by feathers, festered and rotted, revealing the bone.

It seems to be suffering from some kind of powerful Curse!

Seeing this, Lumian, without any fear, transformed into Flame Spear once more and hurled it at the Monster, while the "Knight of Swords" moved forward, flashing across various mirrored objects.

Oseto’s Child let out a wail.

Although it was a long distance away, and the dense, Paleness aura of the "Death God's " Palace made it much quieter by the time it reached Lumian's ears, it still made Lumian momentarily dazed. The stench of blood, carrying the smell of decay, filled his nostrils, and he involuntarily withdrew from his Flame Spear form.

With that howl, Oseto's Monster child transformed into a writhing, Distortion, enormous Paleness bud, sucking in the bloated eyeballs, festering flesh, and fallen feathers.

In the blink of an eye, the wet flower buds bloomed and gave birth to two children.

One was a mixture of Pitch-Black and dark red, festering and ulcerated, which quickly stopped struggling, turned Paleness, and fell to the ground; the other was a giant, Bird-Clawed Monster Infant that was completely intact.

In this way, Oseto's Monster child was freed from the Curse and given Rebirth.

But Sharon's figure had already seized the opportunity and was reflected in its twelve huddled eyes.

Oseto's Monster child froze in mid-air, with the top of the "Death God" main hall, where the Corpse of the Ancestor of the Phoenixes lay, just tens of meters behind him.

Within the twelve bright, beautiful eyes, Sharon's figure, wearing a small soft hat, appeared and disappeared, only to be illuminated by the Blazing White flames.

A magnificent Flame Spear flew in with extraordinary flamboyance and landed on a nearby, half-collapsed ancient Tower.

As the flames died down, Lumian, wielding the "Sword of Courage" in one hand, appeared.

Without hesitation or fear, he endured the dizziness and throbbing in his head, causing his Eyes to turn a deep, metallic black.

The iron-black color had barely emerged when it was replaced by Paleness, no longer appearing out of place in this country.

This did not affect Lumian's ability to observe the target's weaknesses, but the problem was that all the colors he saw were Paleness.

Lumian had no choice but to rely on the Hunter's keen sense of weakness and choose the most pleasing color from among those Paleness colors that stirred his fighting spirit the most.

He once again transformed into Flame Spear that gradually Paleness and dim, and flew above the Oseto Monster child.

His figure then appeared, his hands gripping the "Sword of Courage" Burning with Blazing White and blue Flames, and he fell like a boulder towards the body of the Oseto Monster child.

As the two were about to close in, Lumian swung his large, Paleness- colored Straight Sword toward the belly of the Bird-Clawed Monster Infant.

He used his own method of "Harvest".

Prior to this, the "Knight of Swords" Maric, who appeared on the half-collapsed Tower, wore a Ring carved in the shape of the Sun God Bird.

A clear spear, as pure as Sunlight, swiftly materialized in his hand.

This caused the surrounding Paleness to fade slightly, the shadows to disappear, and the "Knight of Swords" in his "Wraith" state to melt inch by inch, leaving behind drops of dim liquid, like Candle placed at a fire scene.

The liquid droplets evaporated quickly, leaving behind a small amount of dust that slowly drifted away.

Despite the melting of his right side, "Knight of Swords" Maric, his expression Distortion and crazed, hurled his Sunlight Spear at the Monster child, Oseto.

Considering that Oseto is Witch King of the "Moon" Pathway, the Temperance Faction prepared a "Sun" Pathway Sealed Artifact in advance, which unexpectedly came in handy at this time!

Both the effects and characteristics of this Sealed Artifact will cause great harm to the "Wraith".

The bright, Flame Spear became an anomaly in this Paleness world.

It too is being eroded, but it is also dispelling the Paleness, and it looks like it can pierce the target's body before Lumian's "Sword of Courage" can strike the Monster child.

Although the Monster child of Oseto was possessed and forcibly controlled by Sharon, the Temperance Faction Half-God, he was not completely turned into Statues, at the mercy of others.

It struggles against the influence of the "Wraith," slowly shrinking its "Rebirth" body as if to return to an embryonic state and embrace its mother, while simultaneously unfolding its own "Otherworld."

The Paleness Wilderness quickly encompassed the destroyed Palace and half-collapsed Tower, as well as the Corpse of the few "Death God's " Attendant had died in the area.

In the deathly silence, a Terrifying Giant Serpent, reduced to nothing but White Bone and rotten flesh, with exaggerated wings, sprang into the air from the collapsed Palace, blocking the "Knight of Swords's " Spear of Sunlight.

A burst of blinding Sunlight suddenly filled Lumian's Eyes.

He didn't slow down his "Sword of Courage" strike, but resolutely brought it down.

The Sunlight scorched his Paleness, dull skin, stirring up scorching smoke.

A soft "clang" rang out as Lumian's "Sword of Courage" struck the head of the winged giant serpent, shattering the target, which had been severely damaged by the Sunlight and made extremely vulnerable, into pieces with a single blow.

With barely a sound, the giant snake's White Bone either evaporated or shattered, completely losing their support, and fell to the ground like rain.

After using the White Bone Giant Serpent to block an attack for him, the Oseto Monster child, controlled by Sharon, shrank even further inward.

Its half- Paleness, half-brown wings and bent limbs had merged with its body, becoming a Orb, with only its head, which resembled a fusion of several infant heads, still protruding.

Its "Otherworld" also includes the entire main hall of "Death God" and the Ancestor of the Phoenixes' Corpse.
