Chapter 102: The Spell of Severance

The black glow did not react to Sisstem's body, but instead made him energetic, as if his body had inexhaustible strength.

The strength and agility of his tentacles had also increased slightly, as if the black light was some kind of tonic.

But with this feeling of energy, Systm found that he seemed to have lost something very important, and his heart became empty, and the insect blood in his body seemed to let out a wail.

The insect's body can't cry, but if he were a human, he would definitely be in a state of tears at this moment.

"What's wrong with me? What did that black light make me lose? ”

Heatham stretched out his tentacles and scrutinized his body.

The thirty tentacles were intact, even the small hook spikes on the tentacles were intact, and there was no problem with his antennae, eyes, and exoskeleton all over his body.

But the more he used the power of his tentacles to probe his body, the more Syst found that something was missing in his body, not a simple limb or organ, but an ability in his body.

Numeric Code: Normal, Pupae Normal, Insect Adaptability Normal, Perception, Telekinesis Normal......

Sensing that the few talents he had relied on for survival had not been lost, Sistemm was slightly relieved, but instead of disappearing, the feeling of emptiness that permeated his heart intensified.

Sistemm opened the [Tools Menu] and looked at his self-information, all the talents and derivative abilities in his body were intact, but in his talent column, there was a new talent - [Spell of Severence].

……

Spell of Severence (11/11): A special talent granted to Sistemm by a nezumi wizard's self-sacrifice. Loss of the ability to mate, loss of part of lifespan, increase in the number of days of life, and a slight increase in physical fitness.

……

Perhaps because this ability had a small improvement in his physical fitness and spirit, the [Spell of Severence] was placed in his talent column.

Sistemm quickly used the ability of [Data Compilation] to adjust the information of [Spell of Severement] to the ailment column.

After reviewing the information of this damaging curse, Systm finally knew what he had lost.

Because of the talent [numerical code], Heatham felt it a little, and he clearly perceived the curse attached to his body.

His lifespan was lost by 250 days in an instant, and his future lifespan consumption increased by about a third, that is, for every three days, he lost four days of life.

If he had lost 250 days of life as an adult grasshopper, he would have died on the spot.

However, if he did get this curse when he was an adult grasshopper, it was possible that he would not have lost that many days of life, because this curse was proportionally reduced lifespan.

Not only lifespan, but because of this curse of yin damage, he has completely lost the ability to mate, although he still has the organ in his body responsible for copulation, but that organ has completely lost the ability it has.

The same is true when Systm discovered that he had previously [sensed] himself with his tentacles.

When he was just using his tentacles to [perceive] his physical state, he didn't realize that he couldn't produce that kind of excitement and comfort.

Although the title "Xenomorph Insect" has told him that he cannot reproduce, it is only that he cannot reproduce, and he is now unable to reproduce, completely losing the ability to mate.

Once mated successfully, the essence of life is passed on to the offspring, and then death.

[Spell of Severance] and the title "Xenomorph Insect" are like a double insurance for Sistm, so that he no longer has to worry about dying due to mating.

But despite this, Systm still felt very lost, not for the lost 250 days of life, but simply for the loss of his ability to mate.

The reluctance to mate and the inability to mate are two completely different concepts.

Even with his fear of death due to mating, Systm had no idea of castrating himself.

"The curse of cutting off children and cutting life expectancy......"

Sistum's chelices quivered, and no one could be in a better mood than he was to be struck by this vicious curse.

Systham not only became sad and angry, but also regretful, and even more jealous of the nezumi.

After all, Heatham was still too underestimated, and although he imagined many kinds of Nezumi caster's abilities, he still imagined Nezumen's abilities too simply.

Just as this nezumi cast a spell to sacrifice himself in despair to use a curse, there must be more and more strange abilities in this magical world.

Even with the protection of Shava, it is not necessarily possible to protect oneself intact.

Sistum looked at the stone statue in the room, before the nezumi wizard blew himself up to sacrifice, Sistemm felt that there was something unusual about this stone statue.

And now, Systm can't help but fall into it.

The stone statue stained with the black blood of the nezumi exuded an indescribable aura, which made Sistemm unconsciously stretch out his tentacles to touch the statue.

However, Systham quickly realized his actions and gradually stretched out his tentacles and gradually retracted them.

It seems that it was because of the move that Systm resisted the temptation.

There was an inexplicable strange sound, and the stone statues on the bookshelf, which were nearly twenty centimeters in size, cracked little by little, and then shattered like sand and stone.

The strange stone statues and the fear of the nezumi made Systham not plan to stay here for long.

Systham briefly scavenged some of the books in the room deep in the nezumi cave, and then left the rat cave with Shava, returning to his lair, where he was under construction.

At the same time, Systham sent two worker ant riders to take turns monitoring the nezumi burrow to see if there were any anomalies in the tree hole.

……

……

Predictably, the rat reconnaissance was delayed for a long time, and there were no unknown visitors to the rat-man cave.

It seems that the rats sent to scout these days were just the actions of this nezumi caster alone, and no other nezumi were involved and understood.

And after reading the pile of books left by the nezumi wizard, Systham also had a rough idea of what the statue enshrined in the nezumi was.

Although he did not know the words in the book, some of the drawings in the book were still readable by Sistrem, and in a very elaborate book of animal skins, Sistemm saw drawings that were very similar to the stone statues made by the nezumen, and this one was more beautiful.

The delicate Hides Book has a black skin, and the text on it is completely different from the writing on the other books of the Nezumi Wizard, which Syst still does not recognize.

The portraits in this book seem to possess an eerie power.

When Systum first looked at it, for a moment he even felt that the existence of the calligraphy and paintings in the animal skin was vivid, and those shadows were even vivid, like smoke, and Heatham even saw the dark red pupils hidden in the shadows......

However, when Systm continued to flip through the book and re-read it, the presence in the skin portrait would become static again.

But strangely, when Systran looked at the video recording in [Tools Menu], the portrait of the book he had been looking at came to life again, and Systran saw the red eyeball again.

That's not an illusion.

Sistemm speculated that the Nezumi Wizard should have gained his powers because of the presence in the portrait.

However, Sistemm searched through all the Nezumi Wizard's books, and couldn't find a way to lift the curse, or even if they did, they wouldn't recognize it.
