Chapter 274: Cursed to be Single Forever (2/2)

Had she opened six gates? Or even all seven?

Such a legendary and powerful figure had sealed the strength of a Draconic Scholar and drawn upon the power of death, her own resentment, spirit, and perhaps even her own power, to create this arcane armor… to destroy it, it was probably much too difficult.

“So even if some of its power is used up, as long as it can continue to draw upon Stingham’s arcane particles and vitality, it will continue to recover? It is truly difficult to breakthrough… so this is why Quentin just left?” Charlotte asked.

“There is also one more story related to this. It is about a curse.”

Ferguillo calmly said, “After Jelly, a total of seven Black Witches were contractors of this arcane armor. It is rumored that afterwards, these seven Black Witches were never able to find a true lover, as if they had been cursed. Legend has it that the resentment and hatred infused within this armor is so deep that it affects the owner’s fate in love. Furthermore, anyone who attacks the owner and strikes the armor will be cursed with bad luck. There are at least seventeen known arcane masters who struck this armor and died strange deaths. For example by contracting a mysterious illness, by being poisoned by some undiscovered poisonous flower in a forest, by being killed by mistake, by encountering a powerful monster in a place where it shouldn’t exist, etc.”

“What?!”

Stingham burst into tears as he wretchedly cried, “This arcane armor carries a curse like this? As the owner of this armor, I will never find a lover? I will never have a girlfriend?!”

“No! A handsome genius like me, who knows how many beauties are out there waiting for me to find them!”

“I can’t be single forever!”

Stingham’s appearance was so miserable that Juan couldn’t help but comfortingly say, “It’s just a baseless legend. Don’t worry.”

“What do you mean? The seven previous owners all failed to have a relationship! It is too much to be just a coincidence!” Stingham shrieked even more shrilly. “Why! I don’t want to be single my entire life!”

Because Stingham’s current appearance was so dramatic, the others couldn’t help but giggle amidst his miserable shrieks.

“Relax. It’s alright if you can’t have a girlfriend.” Wilde looked at the heartbroken and dejected Stingham as he said, “I have several brothers who I can introduce you to.”

“Pervert! I don’t like men!” Stingham howled.

“You know, it’s not that bad.” Charlotte couldn’t help but giggle as she said, “You weren’t able to find a girlfriend before anyway.”

“Charlotte, you…!” Stingham paused for a moment before wailing, “I’m going to kill Ayrin so that you end up single too!”

“So this is why this narcissistic fellow took the lead so uncharacteristically. He wants to get rid of this arcane armor.” Ivan narrowed his eyes as he abruptly spoke, “Stingham, do you truly want to find real love, and have a girlfriend that is like Charlotte?”

“What is Ivan saying right now?” This thought went through everyone’s mind as they all turned to look at Ivan.

“Of course!” Stingham stopped bawling as he looked at Charlotte, “But she is already Ayrin’s girlfriend.”

“You are missing the point, idiot.” Ivan looked Stingham in the eye as he said, “What I am trying to say is, if you truly wish for a relationship, then go after it, and never give up. This arcane armor has already existed for about a thousand years. No matter how powerful it is, it will still slowly erode if you grind it down. As long as you keep at it, there will be a day where it breaks. This is what the armor is trying to tell you. The true meaning of the armor. True love is one in which there is commitment to your partner. If you cannot commit yourself, what girl will like you and be willing to become your girlfriend?”

“Ivan… is he trying to do good or bad… Stingham is definitely going to charge headfirst into every fight from now on…” Wily looks abruptly emerged on everyone’s faces.

“That’s right! If there isn’t commitment, how can it be called true love?! I will never give up! I will definitely get rid of this armor and find a girlfriend!” Stingham exclaimed. As if he had found a new star of hope, his eyes abruptly brightened.

“Good. For the sake of a future girlfriend, let us move onwards!” Ivan’s voice turned cold as he nodded towards the four Heavy Evil Dragon Protectors. “Let us defeat them first! Perhaps they will have secrets hidden on them!”

“Come and hit me!” Stingham shouted as he charged forward.

“We surrender!” the four Heavy Evil Dragon Protectors shouted as they raised their arms.

“The curse’s deterrence is truly great…” Charlotte and the others were speechless.
