Chapter 276 Heal Linn's Curse.
Chapter 276 Heal Linn's Curse.
?"Chuut, close your eyes and relax. As promised, I will make you live a heavenly experience never lived before while healing you." He whispered these words to her while pushing her slightly towards the white and extra soft bed.
"?!... G-good. So, what am I supposed to do? I inquired about the best methods of dua cultivation, but as I have no experience... practical, it may be...
Seeing that she was so decisive, despite the nervousness she could not hide, Alvine no longer continued to make her uncomfortable.
"For now, there are two things I need to know. First, the curse is concentrated on which place of your body exactly?" He asked in a monotonous tone with impassive eyes.
Hearing his question, Linn unconsciously touched her abdomen.
'Hm? Her lower core, Huh? The weakest dan-tian among the three dan-tian of cultivators? Even if her enemy was a primordial rank, she was still more vicious than I thought to aim for such a place. The superior Dan-tian, who is housed in the brain, has little resistance against spiritual attacks; the same for the central dan-tian, which is housed in the heart and is weak in the face of the skills of charms and other similar skills that aim to bait the six desires of all creatures with intelligence. As for the lower dan-tian, the latter has little resistance against poisons and curses. Even if the central dan-tian is more effective because of the heart that constantly propels blood, the energy it contains makes it formidable for such skills.' He said in his thoughts while inspecting Linn's body with his magical perception.
But no matter how hard he makes, he was simply unable to see any irregularity with her magical flows or in her blood. But it was not the strangeness that had made him speechless; the most incredulous thing for him was to see that Linn did not have an inferior dan-tian!
It was something impossible for cultivators. Even if the lower dan-tian is worth less function than the other two dan-tian, it was necessary for any cultivators!
With this conclusion, he approached Linn, sitting at the edge of the bed, and touched her abdomen to inspect her better.
"Fuck! How is this possible?!" He instantly cleared his hand while staring at Linn as if he were looking at a monster.
"How do you use your energy while having your lower core sealed?!" He then asked after realizing this unimaginable detail.
This realization is even more unacceptable to him than to see Linn without an inferior dan-tian. No matter the power of a cultivator, having one of the three dan-tian sealed is like depriving a cultivator of his powers. To circulate a cultivator's energy, create a spell, and cast it, the three dan-tians each play an ultimate role in this process. Being deprived of one of these engines is like having one of its vital organs removed.
Seeing that Alvine had discovered this secret only known to her, she no longer held her silence.
"Sigh, the reason I cannot use all my power is related to this factor. I had personally sealed my lower core to prevent the curse of this whore from spreading in my body. Since I could not suppress the curse, and the primordial rank elixirs were ineffective against it, it was the only solution to stay alive." She explained with hateful eyes.
"..."
'It's incredible. To say it is possible to do without a core during these years and succeed in crushing Balakh like a fly by being in this state? How strong can this woman be?!' He wondered while inspecting once again Linn’s core
"You say you have sealed your lower core yourself, Huh? In this case, remove the seal so I can get an overview of this curse." He then ordered, not seeing any other alternative.
"... If I do this, the curse could spread on a large scale, and you will not be spared by it. After spending so much time in this sealed state, it became at least ten times more powerful than when it affected me. Without talking about you, it can even kill me instantly!" Linn commented, following Alvine's orders.
"... If this is the case, then it will be more complicated than expected, and the treatment could take longer than expected." Alvine, in turn, said with a thoughtful look.
"But I could still weaken the seal to allow you to glimpse it." Linn then proposed, after a brief silence.
"... Even with that, it will take time. Sigh, but it seems that we have no other alternative in such a situation. All right, let's do it like that." Alvine then nodded.
Hearing his words, Linn frowns. "Don't you intend to offer me to stay here and wait for your return to treat me?"
"Mm? It's a good idea, in effect. But even if the treatment might take longer, and it is more dangerous for me to voluntarily expose myself to such an evil energy, which even forces you to seal your powers to contain it, ...I still have to do it." Alvine answers nonchalantly without sparing her a look as if he were a professional doctor inspecting a patient.
"S-So, are you aware of all the risks you take when trying to cure me? Is it because you are confident in your competence that removes curses?"
"Not exactly. In all honesty, I am really no longer sure that my skill will be able to overcome such a curse."
"So why do you take so much risk? I have to, no, I need to know what motivates you so much." She asked insistently.
Finally, Alvine opened his eyes and directly met Linn's blue starry pupils, whose eyebrows frowned because of her excessive curiosity.
"Sigh, let's say it's to clear up our deal. But don't worry, I have another foolproof way to eradicate all kinds of strange energies in my body!" He said with a deep sigh.
"Let's say? So that's only part of your motivations; I'm wrong?"
"Eh? Why do you want to know so much? In short, if you really want to know, start by asking yourself what makes you worry about what could happen to me by trying to cure this curse rather than worrying about yourself, as you did before." Alvine replied in a sarcastic tone as he became annoyed by Linn's constant questions, who was only asking instead of doing what he had ordered instead.
But when she heard Alvine's explanations, she looked away with slightly red cheeks.
"!" Alvine remained speechless, seeing her put herself in this state again.
"Ahem, I may have exaggerated my case by comparing it to yours. In short, please stop wasting me more time. Do what you have to do without asking questions." He stammered these words, justifying himself before putting himself in a situation that would probably threaten his life in the future just by thinking about Lilliana's reaction.
Linn, for her part, did not pay attention to Alvine's words. She nodded with a smile and then asked Alvine to move away a little.
After seeing Alvine move two steps away, she took off her black dress, leaving only sexy black lace underwear, which suits perfectly with her curves and silky skin, then placed her hand on her abdomen with her eyes closed.
At the same time, Alvine focused his magical perception on her to avoid missing the slightest detail.
But almost instantly, Alvine noticed her lower core becoming more visible as Linn weakened the complex seal on it.
But Alvine's eyes widened once again when he saw the tiny dark seed that seemed to be Linn's lower dan-tian.
'For the dan-tian of a primordial to be so small to look like a seed, this curse must really be more powerful than I thought.' He said to Himself, frowning when he saw the ghostly black smoke around Linn's seed.
"It was the penultimate seal I just have broken. If I remove the last, the danger to which we will be exposed will be disproportionate. That's why you must be ready while I momentarily open the seal that will last in a blink of an eye. But even if it is a short time, you must know that you will be in danger of death during this period of time." She made this warning after opening her eyes.
"Um, I know, so let's not waste time." Alvine nodded as he approached her and also placed his hand on Linn's pubis.
"Good, but if you feel in danger--
"I know what I must do, so stop worrying about me."
Seeing Alvine was out of patience, she said nothing more; she then closed her eyes and proceeded as she had said.
Woosh--!!
From the moment she half opened the last spatial seal, a wave of demonic energy in the form of dark smoke spread throughout her body with unprecedented ferocity and, at the same time, affected Alvine's hand that was on its way!
Even if it lasted only a thousandth of a second, Alvine noticed that Linn's milky skin, which was breathless, instantly became dark, like an anchor. But he did not have time to worry about Linn after feeling an atrocious pain in his hand.
Looking at his hand, he realized it had become as dark as Linn's skin. May even worse, as his body constitution was not as strong as Linn's, he also noticed his blood drying out in his veins, skin, flesh, bones, and even tendons corroding as the curse spread through his body!
"In-incredible! Despite my ultra-fast regeneration and [Evil God's heart] skill, this still curses slowly progresses in my arm!" He said with an exhaustive mood without blinking in the face of the corrosion pain he felt.
But Linn, who had just sealed his dan-tian again, showed an aura blade at the end of her left hand and tried to cut Alvine's hand before the curse spread to one of his dan-tian!
"!"
Seeing Linn's sharp blade whistle straight towards his arm, Alvine guesses Linn's intentions simultaneously. In response to her rescue attempt, Alvine instantly teleported to the end of the room.
"What are you playing?! If this energy spreads more, you will die!" She thundered these words by trying to pursue him to erase the evil at its root.
But her curse was worse than that of Alvine. That meant she could not force herself too much when she barely had enough energy to heal herself.
"Stop being an idiot and take care of your case instead! I'm pointing out that you're the patient, not the other way around!" Noticing Linn's pitiful state, Alvine thundered these words in an angry tone and formed a black flame ring around his arm, thus preventing the spread of the curse!
"You see? That's the assurance I was talking about as a last resort, so take care of your case." He continued.
As if to convince Linn more, he increased the intensity of the gehenna flames on his arm and continued to burn the evil energy until extermination in less than a second!
At the same time, his hand, which now had half-fingers, began to regenerate at the craziest speed, giving Linn the impression of witnessing a celestial miracle.
Seeing Alvine instantly burn to nothing, the curse that had turned her life into hell with so much ease, was a scene at the limit of her consciousness.
But she finally let go of a heavy sigh with a ridiculous smile before closing her eyes to immerse herself in her meditation and focus on the residues of evil energies in her body.
Alvine remained silent and watched her improve slowly and gradually with worrying thoughts. 'A curse above my [Evil God's heart] skill, Huh? I think I would have no solution but to cut off my arm.' He said to himself, sitting next to Linn, which body was sweaty.
'To say that such a dreadful curse can exist? Decidedly, the primordials have unfathomable powers! But the most worrying thing at the moment is how to cure her. Dual cultivation will have no effect against her curse. But I don't control my geese flames enough to burn the curse in her body; I would risk killing her faster than the curse itself."
"But on the other hand, dual cultivation is the only way to allow her to recover faster. So even after exterminating this curse in her soul, she must recover before following me to the ghost town. Sigh, this process promises to be both complicated and long.' He said to Himself, crossing his arms with one leg on the other.
