Chapter 1444: Countermeasure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The creatures that had been cursed by the Lord of Misfortune would be lucky if they didn’t die in the most miserable way…

That was the only explanation for everything that had happened. They were just too unlucky…

Their bad luck could’ve only been caused by the Curse of Misfortune that was cast with the Lord of Misfortune’s flesh as the material. It was indeed possible to do that with the Bloody Lich’s power and the Lord of Misfortune’s flesh as the material.

Agalon looked at Alonzo solemnly and suspiciously.

Alonzo put on a grim expression, and pretended that he didn’t see it.

“There’s no way to lift the curse except to tear him apart…”

Everybody fell silent after hearing that. It was absolutely impossible to kill the Bloody Lich under such circumstances, but it was impossible to lift the curse without tearing him apart.

So, they were caught in a dilemma. Seeing how at ease the Bloody Lich was, Lin Yun knew that the guy was fearless and confident of taking them down, so he was not anxious at all.

Lin Yun had learned so much about the Lord of Misfortune exactly because of the Curse of Misfortune. It was known as one of the top 10 most annoying spells.

All curses were creepy and evil. The Curse of Misfortune was not exactly an advanced curse, but more like a prank. Those who were cursed would be unlucky. The stronger they were, the less effective the curse would be. For the Heaven Rank mages, even the Curse of Misfortune cast by their peers wouldn’t work at all.

But there were exceptions. If the Lord of Misfortune’s soul or flesh pieces were used as the material to cast the spell, then it would be at least a level-10 spell. If one was lucky enough to find the combinations of the Lord of Misfortune’s remaining blood and soul, which could’ve even resurrected a part of him, the Curse of Misfortune one cast would be a level-11 spell!

It was known as the most powerful curse ever!

In battles, it was possible to resist spells that were less powerful. Elemental mages were the most typical examples. However, when hit by the Curse of Misfortune, it would be impossible even for the God Fire mages to control their bad luck.

There was once a mage who was at the peak of the Heaven Rank. During an exploration, he found an Extraordinary Magic Tool, and greedily killed his companions to claim it. However, one of the lucky guys survived thanks to an arcane magic tool. He preserved his soul, and transformed into a lich.

Hundreds of years later, the lich went through all the trouble and reached level 47, but he could hardly endure any longer because of the crazy mages.

After all, during the crazy years that were dominated by mages, even liches, who had been considered as synonyms of horror, were materials in their labs.

Then, the lich initiated the plan of revenge. He found a drop of heart blood that the Lord of Misfortune left. It also contained the aura of some of the remains of the Lord of Misfortune’s soul.

Still, the lich sacrificed his body and his hundreds of years of efforts to launch a Curse of Misfortune. Then, the greedy level-9 Heaven Rank mage suffered from bad luck.

The lich disappeared after activating the Curse of Misfortune. His phylactery was hidden in the Heaven Rank mage’s tower. He found a regular zombie’s body, and hid himself in the Plane of the Undead. Nobody could find him.

The Heaven Rank mage, after acquiring the Extraordinary Magic Tool that fitted him perfectly, had been staying in his tower, and trying to ignite the Great Mage, but he didn’t do lots of things, and nothing serious happened.

The ignition of God Fire went surprisingly well, but an accident happened after the God Fire was ignited. The Magic Tool Incarnation inside the Extraordinary Magic Tool woke up at this moment…

In the unbelievable accident, the Heaven Rank mage was burnt in the very God Fire that he ignited…

Then, a few more accidents caused by the Curses of Misfortune happened. All of them were weird. For a while, a lot of people were busy looking for the remains of the Lord of Misfortune.

Such inexplicable things were perfect subjects in the eyes of mages, who tried to find the answer behind everything. It was an irresistible temptation for the mages who had already turned no different from crazy scientists.

Although they didn’t quite figure out the answer in the end, they did come to some conclusions. They realized that some of the ancient arcane magic tools had similar effects…
