Chapter 57: Eyes and Truth

Poetic was familiar with the eyes of legendary wizards, as she had seen her teacher, Longman Hall, and other wizarding leaders countless times.

It was a cold gaze that didn't see others as its own kind. Leaders are not so bored as to rely on despising others for self-satisfaction, and this kind of "condescension" is a matter of course for them; And the vast majority of wizards take it for granted.

But Sycodius didn't think so. From the bottom of her heart, she hated the people who stood up above her, believing that they lacked the necessary humanity, which was why she felt that legendary wizards were a bunch of monsters in the truest sense of the word.

But for some reason, Lord Rasputin's gaze just now did not make her feel this disgust...... This kind of thinking has no reason and no basis, but it has buried a shadow in Shi Kodi's heart. It is expanding deep within itself over time, gradually turning into conviction.

"What is the reason why Lord Rasputin took one last look at me?" The girl thought to herself, "He didn't look at anyone else...... I guess I was just sitting alone on a high platform, so I guess that's why I thought it was strange. ”

"No, maybe he did it to save me, because I was the target of the curse...... Why, is that just because I'm a student of Longman Hall? ”

"Of course it is, there will be no other reason. What the hell was I thinking? How can I speculate on what Lord Rasputin really thinks......"

*

- "Scared the hell out of me! ”

That's all Richard really thinks now.

His heart had already been filled with palpitations like the rest of his life.

When the black sun hanging high in the spirit realm almost released all of its cursed hands and flew towards him, Richard's mood was confused.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't solve this sudden disaster for a while, at least his life could still be guaranteed. Because there is also a magical barrier on the tower. As long as the Legendary Curse isn't eyeing this side, there won't be a problem. The aftermath of the black smoke alone can't erode this place.

And Ms. Garcia's counter-spell will be woven in less than half a minute. It will be easy to solve when the time comes.

Of course, as a price, the result of the delay of half a minute was that the wizards who came to the banquet would be killed or wounded, including Master Peter of the Raspuchin School, and Miss Sycodi, who had a relationship with each other, and if they were not lucky, they could all become victims.

In the process, since several other legendary wizards did not make a move, it is not surprising that he chose to sit on the sidelines and not arouse suspicion.

Richard was not as indifferent to his students and subordinates as Longman Hall, and even saw the threat of death as a test of their qualifications. This is an unreasonable, almost stupid idea to him as a modern person.

Of course, he would regret the calamity that befell the following group of wizards, and this regret was sincere. But Richard was more aware of his own abilities, and he couldn't do anything.

The mastermind behind the attack was a legendary wizard no less than the Steppenwolf Council, and the news weighed heavily on his heart; And the strength shown by the other party, although there is an element of "sneak attack", but just a greeting gift makes the wizard leaders unable to get off the stage, which shows that they do have the capital to provoke - whether some people on the tower are hiding at this time, or they are really powerless.

In fact, the ability that Rorel Garcia showed in this process was indeed worthy of being the pinnacle master of the wizarding world's spell realm, because it only took her a few minutes to write a counter-curse of the legendary rank.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for masters of the Spell Realm and the Curse Realm, or two spell realms, to fight each other, even for days and nights: constantly casting curses on each other, while also writing counter-spells to defend against and remove the enemy's curses.

This kind of combat is like the move-and-tear in a martial arts novel or the turn-based approach in a video game. It's just that compared to ordinary humans, wizards who turn themselves into terminals, each second of confrontation may require an astronomical number of calculations. If you were to be a 21st-century person, that is, a "magicless person" like Richard in the past, you might be burned out in the first place if you were involved in this kind of battle.

But this time the battle was different, and the other side did not even appear on the scene. Wizards in the Cursed Realm are not known for their ability to fight head-on, and generally speaking, the curses they weave will not erupt for such a short period of time, nor will they have such a strong effect. The power of the curse is more like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, waiting for the host's weakened moment to deliver a fatal blow. Examples like those of Queen Rhine are closer to the common sense of the past.

But this curse completely defies common sense, whether it is the way it stays, the time of its outbreak, or the strength of its effect. This is not to say that the curse has transcended the legendary rank, in fact, it has a very obvious flaw: the spells of the legendary rank are very weak against wizards of the same level. Wizard leaders can see that this unknown curse has greatly reduced the time of outbreak and the scope of contagion through some kind of archetypal structural innovation, and emphasized the lethality of the first place.

This powerful change naturally comes at the cost of another kind of effect loss, and this curse is less effective against powerful magic; At the same time, the duration is significantly reduced, making it impossible to have an effect that continues to haunt the cursed for nearly a few months.

This particular curse's actions in self-discipline also validate this weakness. When it erupted completely, the targets of the infection were selective: the Black Sun targeted wizards below the Master level, bypassing the Tower and turning a blind eye. The pitch-black tentacles, which symbolized the spread of the curse's power, did not once attack the tower where the wizard leaders were.

- until ...... "Raspuchin" actively attracts the curse.

……

When the magic barrier outside the tower was instantly torn apart by the surging wrists and feet, Richard didn't even make any subconscious dodge movements, because his body was completely frozen.

He couldn't comprehend the curse's sudden change of target, until a hot, burning pain in his chest reminded him that everything in front of him was reality.

- It's the pitch-black prismatic spine that hasn't reacted before.

Like a black hole placed in the heart, it unleashes an unusually terrifying attraction that the curse itself is simply irresistible to the self-discipline bestowed by the caster...... The purpose of the prism is to devour the curse!
