Talos subconsciously sketched in his mind what he looks like now:

A handsome face belonging to the male Naga, with a straight nose, slightly thin lips, and a turquoise serpentine pattern on the left side of the face, which gives it an extra bit of wildness and uninhibitedness.

As for his appearance, apart from not reaching his height of six feet, Talos was not at all dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, this face has no eyes, and it can be regarded as a blank underneath the eyebrows, hollow and eerie.

How much of the impression of "handsome" this face just now gives people, and how terrifying it is now.

It's not dark magic, but it's more chilling than those evil curses.

Talos touched his face, he never thought that [Jealousy]'s first counterattack would come so quickly, considering that it had only been four days since Jealousy had officially awakened on him today, it would have come too quickly.

As a comparison, when [Gluttony] fought back for the first time, he had already strengthened his soul fire with the help of the power of Gluttony, and improved his physical fitness from the ordinary Black Iron Fourth Order to the Black Iron Seventh Order in one fell swoop, so that he could get enough rewards.

At this point, however, Naga hadn't even planted a seed of jealousy in other sapient beings.

Talos became anxious, for over time he found that the power of jealousy began to shift to his other senses.

Now, Talos knows what his way of dying is when Jealousy strikes back.

Starting with the upper and lower eyelids of the eyes growing together, the upper and lower lips of the mouth joining together, the ears disappearing against the skin, and the nose being covered with a layer of skin......

Eventually, all the organs on his skull will be gone, leaving only a spherical shape that can barely be called a lump of flesh.

That's his head.

He couldn't hear, he couldn't see, he couldn't smell, he couldn't speak, he couldn't communicate, he couldn't perceive all the information of the outside world, except for a deep darkness.

He would probably survive like this for a while, and then die a painful death.

He would rather be starved to the bone in the torment of gluttony than be like thisNaga not Naga, ghost not ghostly death, Talos thought.

Opening the watch world, Talos entered it and shouted at Richard, "Quick, cut my eyelids open with a dagger!"

While his mouth can still speak, he has to do something, at least try various methods, and it has never been his style to sit back and wait.

"Oh my God, Mr. Talos, how did you come to be like this?" The human blood knight who was preparing to greet Talos as usual was startled by Naga's appearance.

If Richard hadn't been so sure that only Talos could enter the watch world, he would have wondered what kind of monster this strange naga with no eyes was in front of him.

"Curse from an evil black mage, damn it, I can't hold on anymore, quick!"

In addition to the anxiety, Talos's voice inevitably took on a bit of anger, not directed at Richard, but at Bruce, who had just been seduced by the primordial desire that made jealousy begin to have side effects on him.

"Wait a minute, I'm working on it. ”

Richard pulled out a dagger from the Spatial Ring and, along with Talos, grabbed the part of Naga's face that was originally an eyelid.

It wasn't hard to tell, as Talos' eyeballs were whirling anxiously under his skin.

"Bear with me, Mr. Talos, I'm going to begin. ”

"Hurry up, ah-"

Probably because of the loss of vision, Talos's senses became extremely acute, and he could clearly feel the sharp, cold metal object entering his skin in a stinging pain, and then carefully dragging a cut, mixed with a little blood, and the light appeared in front of him again.

For the first time, Talos felt that pain could be pleasant and hopeful, and after a few seconds, Naga's visual organs were finally able to function properly, collecting light and information from the outside world and transmitting it to his brain to form a series of images.

As a result, Talos didn't miss the next set of impactful images:

The skin of the left eye, which had been forcibly cut by a sharp object, approached each other with a force and speed beyond Naga's imagination, and a series of pink flesh buds grew near the wound, squirming densely and connecting together.

In less than two seconds, the eyelids that had just been cut out grew back together, and the skin was as smooth as new, without the slightest wound, and Talos was once again stripped of his visual organs.

"Holy!" Talos cursed.

"Mr. Talos......" Richard's voice trembled a little, as if he had seen something very terrible.

"What's the matter, don't talk in a hurry. ”

"You...... Your ears ...... It's disappearing!"

Richard swore he had never seen such an eerie scene, and Naga's pinna gradually pressed against his skin before quickly blending into it.

"Oh, shit—"

Talos panicked, reached out and touched it, and sure enough, the place where the ear was originally was bare, only one ear canal remained, and even the last ear canal was healing quickly like a wound.

"It's all Bruce's fault!"

Talos thought resentfully, if it weren't for the Human Prince, jealousy would never have had a side effect on him on the fourth day of his awakening.

"No, no, maybe that's not the way things are!"

When the auditory organs completely disappeared from his body, Talos, who had fallen into darkness, could no longer hear anything.

Talos's body began to shake because of this, and the balance that was already very unfriendly to Naga left him, and if it wasn't for a pair of hands to hold him in time, he would have been lying on the ground like a real python by now.

At the same time, Naga suddenly realizes that perhaps Bruce is not the source of the matter, and his own jealousy of the human prince is the source of [jealousy] at this moment.

The counterattack of the seven primordial desires is never an external struggle, but a contest of wills and desires!

Surrendering desire means that the Naga dominates the desire, and conversely, the Naga sinks in the desire and finally dies.

After figuring this out, Talos quickly used what little sanity he had left to banish his jealousy of Bruce from his mind.

The meditative experience of the former mage made Talos temporarily forget the fact that jealousy fought back, and easily emptied his brain, reason gradually took over, and all kinds of distractions slowly disappeared, including Naga's jealousy of Bruce that he didn't want to admit but in fact objectively existed.

I don't know how long it took, Talos, who had lost the concept of time in the dark, heard Richard's voice full of joy: "Great, Mr. Talos, the curse of the black mage is gone, and you are back to normal!"

Talos opened his eyes and saw a happy human blood knight, his eyes, his ears, all back.

"Yes, the Black Mage's curse is gone. Talos said with a smile.

Temporary, jealousy was suppressed by him.
