Chapter 222: Arrival at the Farm
"The gravitational field? Wendy, how did you do that?"
Abel, who was right behind him, was shocked.
Wendy's every strike was far above the level of her class. This time was no longer limited to brute force alone, but involved a deep gravitational field.
"The 'grip' just now? This is a technique handed to me by my master, usually used in the forging process to shape weapons or armor, Master said that it can be used as mold. The essence of forging is a creative process, but the mold limits the role of imagination. I was asked to use the molds as little as possible and create the equipment through my own hands."
"Hmm."
Abel probably had an understanding of the group of teachers in the Knight Academy.
Within the [Mechanical Department], the ones in power on the surface were a group of technicians in charge of mechanical engineering, while on the deeper level there seemed to be an unquestioning old geezer in charge of the forging category.
Now, it seems that that old guy should be Wendy's master.
......
Moving on.
The nature of the Scarecrow and its attack method have been revealed.
As long as the danger of the curse is eliminated.
It's not too difficult to deal with, though.
Either Wendy's brute strength or Dempsey's fire magic could kill the scarecrow.
Of course, there have been more dangerous situations during this time.
When she encountered about the fifth scarecrow, Wendy met it head-on and blasted the scarecrow's torso, uprooting the cross inserted into the ground due to the excessive force.
But then, a large number of cursed vines were raised underneath the ground and wrapped around Wendy's entire body.
The blacksmith girl was not invincible.
The moment the vines wrapped around and touched her; a spell pattern of small black letters immediately spread out on the surface of her skin.
Even though Wendy's physical strength was excellent, she was not immune to curse reflections after a period of time.
Her pores were enlarged, with several straws growing out of them, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
Upon seeing her teammates affected by the curse, Mia immediately took out a mortar and made a curse resistance potion on the spot.
As soon as she drank the potion, the stinging sensation disappeared without a trace and the curse faded away.
Mia, upset that this blacksmith girl was chatting intimately with Han Dong, said with an icy face.
"Your body is much better than the average person, otherwise, being attacked by so many curses at once, I'm afraid that half of your body has already turned into straw. You're only having your skin affected, so pay attention next time!
Against this curse product, do not come into direct contact with it if possible."
Wendy didn't care about the details; she only knew that this witch Mia had created the potion that lifted the pain of the curse for her.
Immediately spreading her powerful muscular arms to hug Mia tightly.
"Thank you, Miss Mia, you're amazing! I won't be so reckless in the future. I'm sorry for wasting the rare curse potion."
"Alright~ Alright."
Being hugged so passionately by Wendy, Mia's 'acting' was all but problematic for a moment, not knowing what expressions and words to respond with.
The eyes and expressions were all sorts of mismatched and looked very off-putting.
Moreover.
The cornfield was nothing but scarecrows.
There were also some 'normal' farm servants in charge of cultivating the cornfield, carrying pitchforks and poking fiercely at the small group of people.
These farm servants were merely under control, not cursed with contagion per se, and were immediately overwhelmed by Wendy, who 'freed' them with a single punch.
Alternatively, some locust swarms could suddenly emerge, gnawing on the skin through their sharp teeth and burrowing into their bodies to spread the curse.
For this reason, Han Dong unleashed the plague.
Once such small locusts that did not have defenses approached the squad, their bodies and bodies would be infected with pathogenic bacteria, falling to the ground and unable to fly, and even growing some small colorful mushrooms on their surfaces.
Just like that.
The team cooperated with each other, and with Mia's guidance, they arrived at the heart of [Cursed Space] - in front of the farm yard where Victorino's family lived.
In the courtyard of the farm, there was an eerie main house.
The entire area of the house was huge, over a thousand square meters.
The structure of the building's interior should be very complex with various unexpected designs.
The moment one looked directly at the main house.
Han Dong's "Little Devil Eyes" faintly felt four terrifying gazes peeping at his group.
At that moment, Mia, who was standing at the front, slightly lifted her mask, liberating a small amount of the spider curse.
The change was limited to the face, and something deeper could be seen in Mia's forehead, which was covered in spider compound eyes.
"Scum, you 'that eye' should be able to see, right?"
"Can." replied Han Dong.
Mia shows a rare glazed look.
"What a heavy curse scent, is a bit more troublesome than expected.
And the four curses of the family seem to be connected.
Even if we completely end one of the curse spirits, it will be reborn after a period of time due to the bonding effect of the Concluding Curse.
Such a Concluding Curse is rare, and not something that an ordinary person can manage.
Strange, obviously this family was just ordinary farm personnel in their lifetime, where did they learn the advanced curse?"
Han Dong responded, "Could it be that after the Dark Ages descended, a certain higher being bestowed them with the ability? Otherwise, after so much time has passed, the Great Lords should have banished this family long ago, but they have always remained here."
Due to the unexpected dangers concealed, Mia stopped worrying about trivial matters and began to have a serious discussion with Han Dong.
"It is indeed impossible, that according to the Great Lord's brash attitude, he would not allow dissidents to exist on his territory.
If there is a higher being that is connected to this family, then the question is troubling. What do you think?"
"Disregarding the high-level existence for now. According to Mia your experience against this Concluding Curse, how do you think it should be handled?"
"The team needs to split up and work at intervals of no more than '15 minutes' while terminating the farmer's family. Should any one of them survive beyond the interval, the other family members will be revived by the curse. "
"Hmm..."
Han Dong was deep in thought, considering the battle plan.
Mia continued to ask, "What if there is a 'high level incident'?"
"I'll handle it naturally."
This simple and blunt reply from Han Dong caused Mia to be stunned and her cheeks to blush slightly.
Han Dong turned to talk with Captain Abel for a while to determine the plan of action.
"This operation is divided into four groups to enter the farm area.
One group of me.
The captain and Daou team.
Mia and Winnie, you're a team of two girls.
Dempsey is also solo.
I'll stay outside for a while, while you guys go in from different areas. Be sure to space each other far enough apart to be as completely separated as possible.
The relevant curse matters will be explained by Mia, and we'll move in two minutes."
Han Dong said this with his mouth full, but he was privately slipping different notes to each group as if he had other plans.
