Chapter 594 A Stronger Curse
Chapter 594 A Stronger Curse
-----
Aside from the previous two evolution options, there was the last of them, the third.
-----
[Abyss Curse]
[Ra nk]: [D-]
A Living Curse born from the Abyss. It is similar to the Shadow Curse, but weaker as its powers cannot be easily contained. It often goes out of control and tries to devour things into its endless Abyssal Maws. It is uncontrollable, and it is quite unclear what it truly desires as a Living Curse… However, its Abyssal Powers connect to a place very little known by many, usually called by ancient wizards as "The Abyssal Voidspace". It has great potential, but it is weak and uncontrollable.

I never thought the evolution options would be like this… Well, he's literally a Living Curse, so I suppose it was bound to happen. For the moment, I should also check their additional information, although I can tell the more risky one is the most convenient once more. I can begin to see a pattern in monster evolutions by now.
[Showcasing Evolution Options for [Curse]
-----
[Shadow Curse]
[Rank]: [D+]
Additional Information: Strong and capable of sustaining itself quite easily. Needs little energy to function and is quite useful in many situations. Average growth speed and evolution options.
-----
[Agony Curse]
[Rank]: [C-]
Additional Information: Very powerful, capable of creating mirages and illusions. However, it drives those that utilize their power insane. Dangerous if overused. If the mind of the wielder is weak, they might fall into eternal despair.
-----
-----
[Abyss Curse]
[Rank]: [D-]
Additionally Information: Hard to raise, unexpected developments. Powerful, yet incapable of controlling itself well enough. Might evolve into something very amazing.
-----
Huh, the safest option is Shadow Curse I guess. Also, I can tell that Curse is directly connected to the Curse I have, of course. This means that depending on his status and evolutions, my Curse will grow stronger and gain new abilities. But Curses are Curses for a reason as well, with benefits come drawbacks as well.
However, I feel like something is dragging me to choose Abyssal Curse anyways! Will Curse handle its evil powers? Well, if he can't, I think I can do something about it.
Ding!
[You selected the [Abyss Curse] [Rank]: [D-] Evolution Option!]
"Ah, finally!"
Curse didn't glowed like Beelzebub though, the guy began expanding like a mass of darkness until several tentacles grew over his body, like a small, ball-shaped octopus. His eye became larger, and that's about it.
He was pretty big now, almost the same size as me… A bit smaller though. However, he gained a lot of power from it, his dark aura was strong. Thankfully I set some barriers in advance so it wouldn't be easily sensed and cause panic.
It's a good thing that mom and dad are busy having their night activities, so they won't be as sensitive about this energy. They're pretty busy, I can tell. Maybe I'll get a second sibling in the future if they keep going at it for a while…
"Nnnggh… This darkness! Ahhh! T-Too much! It's… AAAGGH!"
Curse suddenly began overflowing with darkness, abyssal darkness.
Ah, maybe I should had let him evolve into this?!
"Curse! Are you alright?!"
"UUGGH…! THIS IS… THIS IS…!"
He continued struggling but then, his eye seemed filled with… bliss?
"Amazing! I love it! I've never felt this better before! All of this uncontrollable Abyssal Energy is so delicious!" Curse celebrated.
Wait, what? He's alright?
"I guess that happened." Alice said at my side.
"That?" I asked.
"You see, your own curse and Curse here are connected, right? So the effects of the Curse of the Devourer of Darkness activated alongside the effects of his new evolution. The Curse within your soul absorbed the Abyssal Energies within the Abyss Curse, so it negated the overflowing power that might had sent him berserk. And instead, it made it into pure power and energy for you. Don't you feel any stronger or more energetic now?"
The moment Alice said that I quickly realized she was right. As I closed my eyes, I felt there was a brand-new energy flowing across my body. It was black, yet harmless to me. It was simply being absorbed and allowing me to manipulate it.
The evolution of my familiars not only makes them stronger, but it also powers me up too! I could use this Abyssal Energy to conjure stronger Darkness Magic, but I can also detect that other Dark Spectrum Magics resonate with it, such as Death and Poison! And obviously, Curse Magic as well.
Ding!
[Your body is overflowing with Abyssal Energy.]
[The Effects of [Curse of the Devourer of Darkness] has been activated, Abyssal Energy is being absorbed!]
-----
[Curse]: [Curse of the Devourer of Darkness]
A curse that originally was meant to carry the hatred and resentment of an Ancient Demon King and slowly accumulate into a deadly disease that would kill his enemies, one way or another. However, it has been modified to instead, be able to absorb such Negative Energy and devour it, completely destroying it and, at the same time, absorbing its power to grow stronger, enhancing the carrier in the process. The carrier of this curse, however, suffers every time it absorbs this darkness.
-----
Seeing the description again, it really complements it. I guess I didn't even had to worry about it, hehehe-
Ding!
[The power of the Abyssal Energy flowing across your body is reacting to the power of the Curse!]
[Your body is absorbing the power; your Physique and Magic Circle are growing stronger!]
[You gained +10000 Abyss Runes inside your Magic Circle!]
[Your Physique has managed to absorb the Abyssal Energy, and it has grown stronger, Darkness resonates within your body!]
[Your [Magic Circle]: [Tier 3: Rank 7: Elemental Magic Circle] has increased to Rank 9!]
[Your [Physique]: [Tier 3: Rank 7: Yggdrasil's Eden Physique] has increased to Rank 9!]
[The [Curse of the Devourer of Darkness] has evolved into [Great Curse of the Devourer of the Abyss]!]
Wait, what? It evolved too?!
