Chapter 451 - 126: Spirit Cage Space (2)

"Sid, Sid, are you alright?" Cleia asked cautiously, her tone revealing a trace of undisguised delight.

’Sid’ (Udi) looked at the girl in front of him, thought for a moment, and from the fragmented memories absorbed when he entered the boy’s body, he understood his current situation and the girl’s identity.

"I’m fine." ’Sid’ replied weakly.

"Physician, come over and check on him." Although Udi said he was fine, Cleia was still worried, and quickly pulled over the physician she had just sent away from the carriage, acting roughly.

However, the physician did not feel anger at Cleia’s behavior. In the Kingdom, nobility naturally holds an upper-tier position and possesses Extraordinary Power. Even though he was a physician with decent skills, he was ultimately just an ordinary person.

After an examination, the middle-aged physician was greatly surprised, puzzlingly saying, "The toxins in Master Sid’s body have inexplicably receded. Now, apart from some weakness, there’s no major issue."

"No problem? That’s good." Cleia finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing her brother was just experiencing a deathbed recovery.

As for why the toxins suddenly receded, she didn’t bother thinking about the reasons behind it. Cleia just needed to know her brother was safe.

"I want to rest alone for a bit." In the luxurious carriage, ’Sid’ said weakly.

"Alright, you rest well now." Cleia quickly nodded, then turned and instructed the manor’s servants to prepare nutritious meals.

..... Three days later.

The clearing behind Kagano Manor.

A black-haired youth stood quietly here, his expression inexplicable.

The black-haired youth was Udi, who had entered the body of the deceased boy.

During these three days, after taking various medicines, the injuries of this body recovered quickly. After all, the toxins were long expelled, and the wounds were only minor, controlled by Udi previously.

If not for fearing unexpected incidents, Udi could have gotten out of bed and moved around on the first day.

"This world is really interesting." Udi put his hand in front of himself, and with a thought, he connected to the Spirit Cage Space in his mind, and a formless, gray-white light, invisible to ordinary people, flashed by.

A ’Gray Flame’ ignited on Udi’s finger.

However, this was not magic, not even related to magic. This small ’Gray Flame’ was actually a type of Spirit, specifically a Fire Curse Spirit.

In this world, the extraordinary is not apparent. Ordinary people without talent can never grasp Extraordinary Power. Only the noble bloodlines passed down through generations have the privilege to indirectly master Extraordinary Power through Curse Spirits.

The original body, the boy named Sid, although inherently talented, never awakened to Extraordinary Power due to the weakness of a special strength in his bloodline, namely the ’Spirit Cage Space.’

Nobles use the awakened Spirit Cage Space to capture various Spirits wandering in this world, then ride Curse Spirits, devour Curse Spirits, thereby possessing Extraordinary Power and even utilizing the abilities of Curse Spirits.

This type of person is known as a Curse Master.

Syd’s sister was a Level 5 Curse Master.

Curse Masters and Curse Spirits are divided into levels, from low to high: Unranked, Level 5, Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, and Special Level, totaling seven levels.

The one previously emitting an aura comparable to a Level 2 life form was Sid’s sister, Cleia. Here, Level 2 refers to the Star Realm’s life level.

But this doesn’t mean Cleia only had the strength of Star Realm Level 2. A Curse Master’s strength mainly depends on the magic used and the Curse Spirits they ride. Their actual strength, meaning their physical prowess, generally isn’t particularly strong.

The weak flame of the Fire Curse Spirit leaped and burned at Udi’s fingertips.

This was an Unranked Curse Spirit, attribute: fire. Its ability was to ignite the energy of any flesh it touched, causing it to feel increasingly weaker until it ultimately exhausted its energy and died of weakness.

However, Udi tested it and found that even to kill an ordinary person with this Unranked Curse Spirit, it would take several days of effort.

"Now that I’ve just awakened the Spirit Cage Space and captured an Unranked Fire Curse Spirit, according to the level division, I am currently an Unranked Curse Master."

Even a weakling who can’t kill ordinary people.

After all, the physical strength of a newly awakened Unranked Curse Master isn’t much different from an ordinary person’s.... And if one wants to increase physical strength, there are various methods, such as capturing Curse Spirits with special abilities. For example, by riding and devouring a Power Curse Spirit, a Curse Master would gain its abilities and significantly enhance their strength.

Udi looked at the flame Curse Spirit jumping on his fingertip, with a thought, stored it back in the Spirit Cage Space, then mercilessly activated the Spirit Cage Space’s devour ability.

In the Spirit Cage Space of no light and sensation, the one-finger-long flame Curse Spirit didn’t even have time to react before its body started to disintegrate continuously, being entirely devoured by the Spirit Cage Space, which then transferred the power obtained from the devoured flame Curse Spirit to Udi.

In the outside world.

Udi’s face turned blue, his temples throbbed, and the whole world before his eyes was dizzyingly hallucinatory.

As he received the power from the Fire Curse Spirit, these symptoms became increasingly severe.

Devouring a Curse Spirit carries the risk of gaining its power, but it also carries great risk.

Failure would mean the mind and soul being twisted by the residual power of the Curse Spirit, becoming neither human nor ghost.

Those influenced by the power of Curse Spirits in this world are referred to as ’Curse Masters,’ implying a person afflicted with a curse.

Curse Masters are almost all madmen, stirring up slaughter and chaos throughout this world, representing one of the greatest threats to the nobility’s (Curse Masters’) rule.

Moments later, Udi slowly opened his eyes, yet his face remained pale and weak in expression. He had no strong emotions about it, still summarizing in his heart the results of this experiment,

"Devouring Curse Spirits indeed carries great risk. If not for my immensely strong consciousness, an ordinary person or just-awakened Curse Master would most likely fail." Udi thought to himself. Although he succeeded, he didn’t receive the Fire Curse Spirit’s ability. Since devouring Curse Spirits only gives a chance to gain abilities, it’s normal not to gain any after several successful attempts with bad luck.

As for how he seemed to be in such difficulty on the surface.... it was merely a natural symptom of his body’s weakness. In actuality, Udi was very relaxed.

Given this circumstance, Udi felt he could easily devour hundreds or thousands of Unranked Curse Spirits continuously.

Of course, due to the excessive weakness of this body, Udi might find himself collapsing and dying from the body being unable to withstand the process of continuous devouring.

"To quickly enhance my strength, I still need to improve my physical strength."

After some exploration, Udi gained some understanding of this cultivation system for Curse Masters.

Curse Masters have no power like Spiritual Power. They rely on consciousness to ride Curse Spirits. Meanwhile, when intending to devour Curse Spirits, a powerful consciousness determines the maximum level of Curse Spirits they can devour, while physical strength determines the minimum level.

Regarding consciousness strength, Udi’s aspect was derived from the Legendary Tier Five Black Dragon King body. Even if the world’s limit is a Divine Spirit, such a level of consciousness strength shouldn’t be considered weak.

But the body’s strength relative to the consciousness strength was extremely lacking...

In contemplation, Udi walked next to a massive dark red stone, standing as tall as a person.

This giant stone was Starry Sky Meteorite Iron.

The golden point in the center of the dark red stone was Void Gold, enough to forge a Divine Artifact’s main material.

However, in the Star Realm Void drift, the naturally radiating power of Void Gold was enough to cause space rifts in the Star Realm. In this world, it seemed ordinary, as if the terrifying power had vanished.

Udi caressed the Void Gold, not his first viewing, yet he couldn’t help but feel shocked and amazed.

"The world’s rules here are truly terrifying."

Even a terrifying material that could serve as the main material for a Divine Artifact was forcibly suppressed to an ordinary level, isn’t that terrifying?

What does this represent?

It means that even if a High-tier Legendary being descended, under the world’s rule suppression, they would gradually become a mere mortal, to be precise, a mortal with powerful consciousness.
