Chapter 481 479-The Spread of Curses
In the Dreamland, the black-clad figure stood motionless at Prophet Magus’s door, deep in contemplation.
He was filled with hesitation, sensing that his next move could entail immense danger.
Though he hadn’t detected any signs of activity from Prophet Magus, and he knew Ethan was confined to his own room, his subconscious was warning him not to enter Prophet Magus’s chamber.
The black-clad figure grappled with his inner turmoil, considering the consequences of his actions.
He felt this might be his last chance.
If he heeded his subconscious warning, he might find a way to escape this perilous situation.
However, ultimately, he chose to disregard his inner doubts.
After careful consideration, the black-clad figure decided to enter Prophet Magus’s room directly.
He believed this was his final opportunity.
The black-clad figure entered Prophet Magus’s room within the Dreamland, mirroring Prophet Magus’s actions in the waking world.
Instead of launching an attack on Prophet Magus, the black-clad figure began searching the room, believing that Prophet Magus might possess crucial information related to Ethan.
However, the black-clad figure’s search yielded disappointingly little.
He could only find a few fragments of information related to Ethan, most of which he already knew.
Disheartened, he contemplated leaving.
But just then, he made a startling discovery – Prophet Magus’s room was now securely locked, and a powerful seal seemed to have been placed on the door.
Upon discovering the situation, the black-clad figure grew visibly anxious.
He quickly surveyed his surroundings and found no immediate signs of trouble.
He began to suspect that this might be due to an error on his part and decided to use the power of the God of Curses to rectify the Dreamland’s issues.
The black-clad figure summoned the Cursed Eye onto his forehead.
As the Cursed Eye manifested, a surge of curses began to spread within the Dreamland.
lightsnοvεl However, he soon realized that his Cursed Eye had spiraled out of control.
The curses it unleashed started rapidly proliferating, causing the entire Dreamland to become highly unstable.
“What’s happening? Why is the Cursed Eye suddenly going haywire?! Wasn’t it under my complete control? Didn’t the God of Curses bestow me with additional power?” he muttered in confusion and frustration.
Faced with the current situation, the black-clad figure found himself at a loss.
It seemed he had no means to stabilize the Dreamland or take any other action.
Just when he was unsure about what to do, Ethan appeared behind him.
Ethan didn’t immediately launch an attack because he wasn’t physically present in the black-clad figure’s Dreamland.
“Are you being a bit too naive?”
Ethan’s voice suddenly materialized behind the black-clad figure, causing him to break out in a cold sweat as he heard it.
The black-clad figure was acutely aware that if Ethan chose to attack now, he wouldn’t have any means of defending himself.
Moreover, with the door sealed, escape was out of the question.
“Why are you saying this? Do you mean to say that this is a trap you deliberately set?”
In a situation where he couldn’t escape or counterattack, the black-clad figure had no choice but to engage in a conversation with Ethan.
In his view, there must be a reason why Ethan didn’t choose to attack directly.
If he could find out why Ethan made that choice, perhaps he could find a way out of this predicament.
In response to the black-clad figure’s inquiry, Ethan chuckled.
“This isn’t a trap I designed. In fact, you’ve fallen into a trap designed by the God of Curses. Did you think that using the power of curses comes without any cost? Haven’t you noticed that the power of curses is rapidly spreading? You’re now completely trapped in this Dreamland. Your only option is to seek help from me. However, you should be very clear that I won’t offer you any assistance. I’m not in the Dreamland you’re in; I’m simply waiting for you to successfully escape from it.”
Ethan spoke a lot in one breath, making it clear that he had no intention of providing any assistance to the black-clad figure.
In Ethan’s view, since the black-clad figure had aligned himself with the God of Curses, he must pay the price.
“Do you really think the power of the God of Curses is so weak? I can tell you that the power of the God of Curses is incredibly strong! It’s precisely because of the immense power of the God of Curses that the Power of Curses is spreading! If you don’t intend to let the power of the God of Curses destroy us all, then you must provide me with help as soon as possible. This isn’t just about saving me; in fact, it’s about saving all of you.”
The black-clad figure still hoped for Ethan’s assistance.
At least in his eyes, if Ethan were willing to help, escaping from the Dreamland should not be an issue.
In fact, Ethan had been waiting for these words from the black-clad figure.
Using the potent Power of Shadow, Ethan managed to traverse different dreamscapes and encounter the black-clad figure.
He hoped to utilize the black-clad figure’s power to enter the dream world where he resided.
Only by being in the same dreamscape could he confront the black-clad figure in a decisive battle.
“If you truly want me to save you, it is possible, but you must pay a certain price. Moreover, I am not currently in the same dreamscape as you,” Ethan straightforwardly conveyed his predicament.
Ethan believed that the black-clad figure would assist him, as it was a matter of life and death for the black-clad figure as well.
Sure enough, after Ethan’s statement, the black-clad figure responded directly, saying, “Of course, there’s no problem. I will allow you to enter the dreamscape I reside in. However, I must warn you in advance; it’s best not to target me. The Power of Curses has already spread, and if you choose to confront me, none of us will be able to control it. While I have received the blessing of the great God of Curses, such a blessing is highly unstable.”
The black-clad figure didn’t place too much trust in Ethan either.
He believed that Ethan might be waiting for an opportunity to target him.
To ensure his own safety, he needed to remind Ethan of this fact.
Faced with the black-clad figure’s reminder, Ethan simply smiled and said, “Of course, there’s no problem. After all, I also very much want to stop the spread of curses. Just let me enter your dreamscape directly. I know you are not in your own dreamscape; you should be in the dreams of other guests at the inn. But even so, you should be able to facilitate dream traversal for me.”
Ethan and the black-clad figure had come to know each other quite well by now.
Both parties were aware of the formidable powers possessed by the other.
This meant that neither side would catch the other off guard in the coming actions.
They both had a fair idea of what to expect next and what might happen.
“I can certainly allow you to enter my dreamscape, but I will need some time. You must give me enough time to do so,” the black-clad figure replied.
The black-clad figure was, in fact, more anxious than Ethan at this point.
He could feel that the Power of Curse around him had become significantly stronger than before.
If Ethan couldn’t provide him with help quickly, he might be killed directly by the Power of Curses.
Being killed by the Power of Curses would mean losing any chance of revival.
This was because the power of God of Curses could successfully control the souls of those killed by curses, as seen in the fate of Dart, a member of the Shadow Clan.
After reaching an agreement, Ethan and the black-clad figure returned to the room where Prophet Magus was located.
“How is it going? Do you know his current situation? Are you planning to directly attack him this time? You should be able to eliminate him directly, right?” Prophet Magus asked a barrage of questions.
In Prophet Magus’s view, the most important thing was to eliminate the black-clad figure.
Ethan nodded and shook his head, which left Prophet Magus and Shadow Elf puzzled.
“What do you mean by that? Can you or can’t you eliminate him? Or have you not even found him?”
Shadow Elf, somewhat impatient, wondered why Ethan hadn’t shared the situation with them yet.
Ethan replied slowly, “I’ve found the black-clad figure, but I have a new plan. The black-clad figure has received God of Curses’ blessing and now possesses a very powerful Power of Curse. Our first priority must be to stop the spread of the Power of Curse. After we’ve halted its expansion, we’ll have time to eliminate the black-clad figure.”
