Like a vicious monster that has been imprisoned and starved for thousands of years, one day lured by the smell of delicious food, it finally opens its eyes and wakes up; And now, the beast was hidden in his arms, waving its teeth and claws towards the outside world, and couldn't wait to open its mouth.

At that moment, Richard's hands and feet were cold, and he felt that death was imminent, and it came so suddenly that people were caught off guard. The curse that swept over him would inevitably pass through his body before it was completely consumed by the prismatic thorns. It was the corrosion of magic, the invasion of the flesh. Legendary wizards with truly powerful magical powers can ignore it, but it is deadly poison for Richard. A few of the wizards at the bottom may survive, but as an apprentice, he is certain to die......

Ingested by the huge gravitational force of the black hole released by the black spurs, the bleak sun wheel hanging in the sky had to be forced to abandon all its prey, and the waving brachial tentacles all swept towards the tower. It's like an ocean pouring down towards the earth.

“......！”

There is no sound of shattering.

In the face of the turbulent waves that pollute everything, the magical barrier is as fragile as a glass window.

It has only one goal, and that is the apprentice who stands in front of the window.

When Richard watched in almost despair as the dark tide rushed towards him, covering the sky overhead, his heart was left blank and he had no thoughts.

He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

……

And at that moment, another hand reached out from the side and covered his palm.

- It was a small, slender, illusory, fair-skinned hand that belonged to a girl.

The sea of curses that rolled in was blocked by the overlapping palms.

*

Richard's outstretched hand was like a rock standing on the shore of undulating waves and wind and rain, easily blocking the erosion of the legendary curse.

It serves as a "fulcrum" that connects the infinite power from the other world with the world in front of it.

Like the collision of heaven and earth, although it has a strong shocking force, it was almost silent at that moment-

It was a silent loud noise that happened in the virtual world, in the spirit world. The touch between the curse and the palm of the hand set off unimaginable waves, like a tsunami hitting the city on the shore. The shock wave radiated in all directions.

It didn't seem to have any effect on the real world, but the magic elements in the air rioted in an instant, turning into a place of chaos beyond imagination. At this moment, the boundaries between the two worlds become blurred.

The world of wizards built on the basis of the virtual world, the waves set off by the ocean of energy engulfed every corner of the deep roots. He even felt that the part of his state of consciousness that was connected to the magic web—the "human-machine interface" according to Miss Real Name—vibrated under this violent impact.

Before his eyes appeared such a sight: a crystal clear grid covering every corner of the spiritual realm, which he often saw during meditation; And now, as if the eternal grid had been plucked by a giant hand, it vibrated as if it had been moved. If it weren't for the fact that Richard's authority had reached the "legend", he would definitely have suffered a heavy blow.

In other words, the wizarding leaders behind him could also feel the tremendous power contained in this collision.

But at this time, Richard was no longer in the mood to guess the mood of others. The light that bloomed in the spirit realm was like a meteor falling in front of you, releasing light and heat that engulfed the entire field of vision.

Under the cover of the mask, Richard still subconsciously closed his eyes. It took a while to get used to it.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the scene before him: a bottomless abyss beneath his feet, opening a whirlpool that devoured everything, and the power of the curse vanished.

Richard thought about it carefully, and soon realized that to others, everything that had just happened seemed to him to appear on the scene, and then he calmly attracted the curse and then devoured it.

…… It should be handsome.

"It's an unpredictable ......"

Richard sighed. Finally, I don't have to worry about my life, and I put down my heart when I mention my throat. The heavy pressure on his shoulders was suddenly lifted, replaced by a feeling of exhaustion that came from all corners of his body.

In this short day, he felt that his life was like bungee jumping, up and down, which was very exciting. Richard felt that he might have developed a heart big enough to withstand most of the shocks, and that the grind of life was better than watching a hundred horror movies.

This, he thought, should be the last test that his impostor wizard leader would face today. Although I was still instinctively feeling uneasy, the situation had stabilized.

After calming down, Richard realized that the accident was actually a great thing - provided that he was still alive - at least for a while, no one would doubt his identity as a legendary wizard. Who would believe that someone who can easily solve the legendary curse is just an apprentice? No one even the craziest person would make such a stupid judgment.

But this is not a completely costless operation, on the other hand, the power he has shown at this moment that even Rasputin has not mastered before, so it must arouse the curiosity and attention of some, such as his "colleagues", which is inevitable, the risk of demonstrating deterrent power to the outside world.

The reason for all this happened was the prisk in his arms, which came from an unknown source but once took the life of a legendary wizard.

And the real key to his survival now is......

"Thank you, real name." Richard said in his mind, through a 'secret communication' channel that he had discovered between the two not long ago, "You've been saved again." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, sir."

The black-haired girl stood beside him, pressing her palm against the young man's palm. Because of this posture, the bodies of the two are tightly leaning together.

This may be the closest he has ever gotten to the beautiful opposite sex in his life...... Of course, this is just a joke, because the other person has no real flesh.

What's more, he himself simply didn't have the heart to focus on messy things. After surviving by luck, countless questions rolled in.

"What the hell was ...... just now?"

Miss Real Name replied with a blank face.

"It's a virus."

Richard nodded abruptly—though he had already guessed part of the truth.
