Blood gushed out from his chest with the pressure, like a red fountain.

Findilt's head tumbled and landed at Jason's feet.

The man's eyes widened, and the remnants of the sparkle in his eyes reflected the tall figure of Jason stepping out.

Jason slowly pushed the hockey mask up, revealing a calm countenance.

He looked down at Fendilt, who was long gone, and the hiss of the snake in his ears became more and more intense.

Hiss, hiss!

In the midst of a loud sound, a group of serpentine phantoms suddenly emerged from the shadows.

They loom in the background.

They hold their heads up and spit letters.

A faint fishy smell began to permeate the entire chamber.

Jason raised his eyes and swept over these seemingly real but illusory shadows, and his gaze did not change in the slightest.

Jason didn't enter the secret room when Findirt first set up the 'ritual', he only entered it when the other party's 'ritual' was about to be completed.

Although he did not witness the whole process, based on the [mysterious knowledge] he had, Jason could roughly judge that the other party should have set some kind of 'evil spell'.

At least, with the relationship between the two parties, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to bless him.

And the power of this 'curse'?

Hastily arranged, it will not be strong.

But, it must be troublesome.

Jason thought to himself.

In fact, it is also true.

The next moment-

Hiss!

With a snake roar, a slender serpentine phantom suddenly burst out of the shadows and struck at Jason.

The serpentine phantom is very fast, but it is not enough for Jason.

With just a slight movement of his footsteps, Jason dodged such an attack.

But then there was a more and more dense snake roar.

Hiss, hiss!

In a dense, scalp-tinging sound, hundreds of serpentine phantoms attacked Jason at the same time.

They were like the first phantom towards Jason.

In such a confined space, even Jason is beyond his means.

Soon, a phantom clinged to Jason's body.

It shook its head and tail, biting at Jason's skin.

If there is one, there are two.

Two after two, then three in a row.

Under the remnants of the light of the secret room, a series of phantoms clinged to Jason's body, and these phantoms frantically bit Jason.

And Jason's expression remained calm.

Doesn't it hurt?

Of course not.

When the first serpentine phantom bit him, Jason felt a piercing pain.

Later, when the serpentine phantom bit him, the pain in his heart was more like a tide of waves.

Ordinary people have long been in pain to the point of yelling.

As for the coma?

If you can be unconscious, it is not a 'curse'.

Jason could clearly perceive that when these serpentine phantoms were giving him pain, there was also a force that permeated his nerves, keeping him 'awake'.

Torture?

There was a look in Jason's eyes.

Isn't it natural to curse and torture people?

There is nothing strange about it.

It's just that it's not much torture for him.

The pain, he could feel it.

He wasn't insensitive, and he wasn't painless.

He's just used to it.

Having his heart pierced, his head cut off, and his bones shattered in an explosion were commonplace for him.

When showing talent, it explodes into blood foam, which is like premature birth, slightly noisy but long-lasting.

From time to time, it is like an after-dinner dessert, which is still fresh in people's minds.

Occasionally, it is squeezed into powder, and it is a snack, although it cannot be eaten often, but every time it is so satisfying.

Compared to these, the pain in the heart at the moment?

It's a piece of cake.

Even Jason's normal actions could not be hindered.

He strode over to the table, which was filled with bottles and jars and miscellaneous items.

Mostly something Jason hadn't seen.

A small number of them can be named, but they don't know it thoroughly.

But that doesn't stop Jason from 'smelling and seeing'.

What has a fragrance is something that can be eaten.

With this simple concept in mind, Jason began to choose food.

The food looks like hair, a bit like boiled kelp, salty, a little fishy, but quite crispy.

The round shape looks like a stone, but when you touch the soft food, it tastes like bread.

The colorful liquids in the Erlenmeyer flasks are all kinds of juice for Jason.

One of the things that surprised Jason was a small piece of dragon scales.

It's a bit inaccurate to say it's a small piece.

It's even less complete.

It's about the size of a little finger's finger.

Although it is impossible to deduce the size of the entire scale, Jason deduces that the small scale should be only a quarter to a fifth the size of the entire scale.

Touch the blazing, blade of the sword.

The taste is crispy and abnormal, with a little spicy, a bit of dry fried bean skin smeared with Lao Gan Ma.

As for why Jason is definitely a dragon scale, it is naturally a hint of the text in front of him.

【Devouring Ed Aragorn Scales (Partial)】

[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injury!] 】

[Gain special powers!] 】

【Special Strength Judgment ......】

[Judgment passed!] 】

[Charles's Burning Optimization! ] 】

[Charles Burning (Expert): This is a secret technique that can be performed without the need for gestures or chanting, but it requires considerable occult knowledge and tenacious willpower; Where it came from in the first place, it is impossible to find out, even Gerald who excavated this secret technique from the ruins does not know, can only determine that it is from a different system from a very long time ago, and in order to adapt this secret technique to the system of this era, Gerald has made a series of improvements and additions to it, so that it has changed greatly from the original, such a change has an unexpected addition in your hands, it has become more powerful, and then it has been optimized; Effect: Consume a little stamina to create a cone (45° long 15 meters, 1.5 meters high, you can also create a cone flame size by your heart, but not beyond the limit) chariot-level flames, which will continue to consume stamina when it continues to spray, you can choose either hand to attack, or use both hands to release two flames at the same time, but the physical cost is doubled. 】

……

[Charles's Burning Technique has been supplemented and optimized, and the inherent mastery option 'Flame Change' has been increased:]

[Flame Change: You can choose the initial way to spray flames, or you can change the shape of the flames, you can either attach them to your fist or shoot them as fireballs; It can also be turned into armor and attached to the whole body, with the base power of the flame unchanged; When attached to the fist, the physical strength is reduced, bringing the hands more bullet-level protection; When shooting a fireball, the radius of the fireball cannot exceed 0.5 meters (the power of the fireball is related to the radius), the throw distance is related to the strength of the fireball, and when you choose to turn it into armor, you will gain a protection above the bullet level, and its presence will continue to drain your stamina]

……

Length: 10 m → 15 m

Height: 1.0 m → 1.5 m

Fireball radius: 0.4→0.5 meters

Attack Strength: Above the explosives level→ the vehicle level

Defense Strength: Bullet level → above bullet level

The position of the heart occupied by the Tufu has not changed, but the Tufu representing [Charles's Incendiary Technique] has become brighter and brighter, and the requirements for upgrading to the master level have changed from 70 points of satiety and 4 points of food excitement to 80 points of satiety and 5 points of food excitement.

"Excited to eat at 5 o'clock?"

Jason frowned.

As his 'hunting ability' increases, he is able to maintain a basic level most of the time.

But the excitement of eating is different.

Not only because of the rarity of the excitement of eating, but also because [Protecting from Evil] itself is a big household that needs the excitement of eating.

To take Evil Protection to the next level, you need 10 Eclipse Excitement.

And now, Jason has a total of-

[Satiety: 232]

【Excitement of Food: 8】

After a small snack gave Jason 31 points of satiety, the total number of satiety began to gradually move closer to the passing line, and the excitement of eating remained the same as before.

[Protect against evil] still has 2 gaps.

Not to mention the [Charles Burning Technique].

Under any normal circumstances, what Jason needs to consider is the core [protection against evil].

After that, it's the rest.

There is no doubt that [Charles's Burning Technique] is something else.

Even if the power of [Charles's Incendiary] has kept up with his main combat level.

After all, the special power of [Protecting Against Evil] is irreplaceable.

For example: this time!

Jason lowered his head and looked at the snake-shaped phantom hanging all over his body, and was about to give a [Protect against Evil].

Perhaps there are other ways to lift the curse in front of you.

But for Jason, nothing is more straightforward than [Defend against Evil].

Shadows, negative energy, weirdness, evil, etc., [Protect against evil] all have extraordinary restraint.

If not, it only proves that the level of [Evil Protection] is not enough.

In other words, a slap of [protection against evil] will not work.

Let's take two shots.

Not enough, just as Jason was about to release, he suddenly stopped.

He saw Findilt's body.

Compared with the previous 'full', Fendilt at this time only had a 'shriveled' body left.

Not a dry corpse.

It's shriveled.

The internal organs, muscles, bones, and blood were all drained.

All that was left was a shriveled skin that had lost its moisture.

And these lost viscera, muscles, bones, and blood were all transformed into more serpentine phantoms.

Although Jason was not in the way, Jason was able to determine that the number of serpentine phantoms on his body had increased by at least half.

They clinged to Jason's body in a more swift way.

They were biting at Jason in an even more ferocious way.

Flesh and blood can feed the 'evil curse', Jason knows.

In the [Mysterious Knowledge] he mastered, most of the evil spells can be increased with their own flesh and blood, or their own flesh and blood is the most direct way to increase the evil curse.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the caster would never do this.

Because, because the lost flesh doesn't grow in a short time.

Even, most of the time, it is irreversible damage.

But when it comes to death, no one cares about that.

These spellcasters tend to fight to the death.

Being alive is the most important thing, isn't it?

And dead?

It's all gone.

Who cares about their own flesh and blood?

'Curse'?

It will also disappear.

But the 'curse' in front of me has not disappeared.

Instead of disappearing, it is getting worse.

Even with the blessing of Fendilt's 'Fight to the Death', it should have disappeared at this time.

You know, a curse is not a curse.

Both are evil and weird.

But the 'curse' is not at all as long as the curse'.

The former torments the caster for a period of time, and most end within a certain period of time, or after the death of the spellcaster.

Latter?

Although it is the same time period, this time period may be ten years, a hundred years, or even several generations of bloodline, and it will not change at all due to the death of the spellcaster.

And now, Jason's 'curse' is not over.

Jason also confirmed that the 'curse' did not become a 'curse'.

Then there's only one possibility left—

Findirt isn't dead yet!

The other party's 'body' here is also a 'doppelganger'.

The real body is somewhere else.

"Really. Is there a cunning rabbit three holes? ”

Jason muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the corner of the chamber, where there was a chair.

He sat down and waited quietly.

The 'curse' on your body?

Jason had no intention of lifting.

The 'curse' caused him pain.

The 'curse' became a guide.

This guidance is for him, and for Findirt, it is a 'bait'!

When the other party is 'resurrected' and finds that the 'evil curse' is still ongoing, what will the other party do?

Especially after this 'evil curse' was 'blessed' by one of the other party's doppelgangers!

With the hatred of the other party and him, it's hard not to investigate, right?

So, what Jason has to do is wait for the other party to come.

Thinking like this, Jason got up again, and after he closed the door, he raised his hand and placed a [Keyafa Seal] at the door of the secret room.

With all that done, Jason sat back in his chair and pulled the mask down.

……

"Ahhh

With a miserable roar, Findirt woke up again.

The pain of being beheaded was his first attempt.

It hurts so much!

It hurt so much that tears and snot flowed out of his eyes.

It hurt so much that he felt a burst of suffocation.

Soon, though, he burst out laughing.

He felt it, and the 'curse' he cast was still there.

"The taste of ten thousand snakes devouring the heart must be wonderful, right?"

Muttering these words, Findirt quickly crawled out of the coffin in the depths of the suburban cemetery, shaking off several of his rotten clothes.

As the last hole card of Fendilt.

It hasn't been opened since it was closed.

It is exactly the same as the surrounding cemetery.

Both inside and out.

Ignoring his own clothes, Findirt pushed open the door to the tomb

Click, click.

The door of the tomb, which had not been opened for a long time, opened with a sound of stone rubbing.

The fresh air of the morning came to his face, and Findirt took a deep breath and sped up.

He had to get back to his previous chamber quickly.

Although Jason is in pain and unable to move now, he is worried that something will change.

"Wait, Jason."

"Do you think it's over?"

"No!"

"This is just the beginning!"
