Chapter 1324 Curse
The city-state of Aqi, once known as the Pearl of the Sea, has now been distorted by the power of the cursed essence.
The sky is no longer the normal blue, but a gray color mixed with darkness, and the surrounding air is filled with moist and heavy fog. Any normal person will completely lose his mind if he stays in it for a few minutes. , turning into a crazy and extremely aggressive monster.
What's even more frightening is that this force not only affects the living, but even the dead are not immune.
All the lives that died in the surrounding areas of the city are now resurrected in another form, especially the corpses of humans and animals, which are all wandering around aimlessly without exception.
Even in the central area of the city, there is a vague and chilling atmosphere of terror.
Weird!
Horror!
Even though the thirteen "kings" were well-informed, they couldn't help but be stunned by what they saw in front of them.
"It's unbelievable! Is this a curse formed by the resentment and souls of thousands of dead people?"
The woman who exuded a strong breath of life casually tore into pieces the two living corpses that rushed up and tried to attack, and frowned subconsciously.
If there was anyone here who felt the pain that this land was experiencing most deeply, it was her.
"It seems that the situation is much more serious than we thought! Why didn't you wake us up earlier? Do you have to wait until things get out of hand?" Another woman who looked as pale as a dead person asked solemnly.
"Too fast! At the beginning, the invaders were only deployed in the city, and the spread was not serious. Later, they sent people and began to hunt down the adventurous teams who were hunting the Darent people everywhere. The forces behind it successfully diverted our attention. By the time we discovered that the entire world was beginning to collapse under the power of the curse, it was already half a month ago." The guy with a chill all over his body took the initiative to explain.
As one of the people who saw this happen, he understood why his companions were so nervous and angry.
You must know that this is not a plague or virus, which cannot be cured by antidote, but a collision of soul power.
Assuming that the living souls in contact with the curse are strong enough, just like these "kings" in front of us,
Naturally, nothing will happen, but if it is not strong enough, it will be entangled in the curse in an instant and enter the incubation period, slowly eroding in the dark, until the soul is weakened to a certain extent, it will suddenly burst out.
Therefore, as long as the soul is not strong enough, it will never be able to escape the entanglement of the curse. Unless the essence of the curse is defeated, which is the essence of the curse formed by the soul of the first person who was infected with the curse and died, otherwise the result must be death.
No matter how powerful magic or items are, they can only delay this process, rather than contact it or reverse it.
What’s even more frightening is that as the number of deaths increases, the source of the curse will become more and more powerful. Eventually, when more than 90% of the entire planet declares complete destruction, it will be equivalent to the supreme master and god of this world. .
Unless the planet is destroyed as well, nothing can defeat the source of the curse.
"Damn it! It seems we still know too little. The knowledge and technology carried by the invaders last time did not mention such a terrible thing." The short man who always hides himself under a gray cloak He shook his head in annoyance. "By the way, why hasn't the prophet arrived yet?"
"The prophet said he had more important things to solve." The mysterious man with unknown paint on his face responded.
"Is there something more important? Is there anything more important than defeating the invaders and saving our world? In addition, didn't he tell us the outcome of this war?"
"I'm sorry, he didn't say anything. And judging from his reaction at the time, I don't think the result will be too good. You know, I've never seen him act so nervous, as if there was some invincible enemy coming. coming."
"Hmph! The prophet has always been very timid, so he would not appear in places he thought were dangerous. Do you remember the last time? Everything was as easy as expected, but he just didn't want to take action, or even join us. His name is praised by the world."
"No! That's not right! I always have a bad feeling. The prophet must have foreseen something."
…
Just as these people were arguing about the strange behavior of the "Prophet", a blazing fireball suddenly passed overhead, tearing apart the sky shrouded in black clouds.
The next second...
boom!
This huge meteorite created by magic hit the building less than a hundred meters away from them, making a deafening roar.
At the same time, terrifying shock waves and heat waves quickly swept through everything around. The ground trembled under the violent impact, and a hole opened in the middle. The polluted black seawater outside the port quickly poured in, directly submerging most of the city. .
Because it came too fast and too suddenly!
None of the thirteen kings were properly prepared. As a result, it took a while before each of them climbed out of the terrifying sea water with their own unique strength. However, some stayed in mid-air, while others stepped on the water. Some made a huge rock rise directly under their feet.
"This is a magic attack! Those intruders know we are coming!"
The man wearing silver armor and exuding a biting chill raised his staff and completely wrapped himself in ice.
The woman standing not far away shook off the water stains on her robe and shrugged nonchalantly: "Isn't this expected? But our biggest trouble right now is not the enemy's large-scale covering magic. , but those terrifying monsters born from the curse. Look, they are coming."
As the last word blurted out, a huge black shadow suddenly completely enveloped the surrounding area of hundreds of square meters.
"Be careful! It is testing our souls! Don't be careless at all, otherwise the terrible curse will catch you." The strong man standing on the huge rock warned loudly.
"You don't need to tell me, I can already feel it. This biting coldness, resentment, hatred, and despair make me shiver all over, as if my soul is about to be frozen. Could this be the essence of the curse we are looking for? Right?" There was a nervous expression on the woman's beautiful face.
"No! No! It's obviously not powerful enough! According to the number of lives lost in the entire world, the real source of the curse should be able to make us feel the taste of death the moment it appears..."
Before the man could finish his words, a black unknown substance instantly enveloped his right foot.
