1524 Terrifying Curse (2/2)

”Dying on the bed, that sounds a little...” Zhao Manyan had goosebumps after hearing about the incident.

Mo Fan fell into deep thought, too. How was the man eaten alive if he was in the city? Were the Eyes of Vengeance of the female Medusae really that terrifying?

”I've heard of the Eyes of Vengeance, too. It's the deadliest Curse of the Medusae in Africa. I'm afraid we'll have to excuse ourselves, as we have some other business to attend to,” Vani said.

”Sir, are we going to leave just like that? Didn't it all happen because of us?” Zoey said.

Some rumors were terrifying even if people had only heard about them for the first time. It was not scary because of how formidable the enemy was or how cruel and evil the Curse was, but how the victims were no longer safe, even in their own territories!

Imagine dying on the bed in one's own room in a luxurious city; when Mages were awake, they had different ways to fend off demon creatures in the wild as long as they were strong and experienced enough. However, it was impossible to stay alert all the time. The victims of the Curse could not afford to close their eyes before they figured out how the demon creatures were able to sneak into a busy city and reach their room. They could not even have any contact with their close ones, since it might endanger them...it was the most torturous part while they were constantly bothered by the Curse!

”There's nothing we can do to help them. We did lure the Medusae to the convoy, but they were the ones that decided to turn around in the end,” Mentor Vani replied firmly.

The people of the European University Institute had obviously heard of the Curse before, and decided to leave without hesitation. Vani also realized he had no hope of winning Heidi's affection, so he was unwilling to waste any further time. It was more important to help his students graduate.

Zoey had no choice but to follow the others. She even apologized to Mo Fan, but Mo Fan did not really mind. They were only strangers brought together by chance. The most he could do was to beat up the male students of the European University Institute the next time he stumbled into them again. It was not much of a big deal.

”I'll stay with you guys. The Curse should only last for a certain period of time,” Chad said.

”No, it's fine, we aren't as weak as you think. Curse of the Medusae? Bring it on, I'll let them know that it's a nightmare to mess around with a Mage whose hands have been itching a lot recently!” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had gone to slaughter the Medusae partly because he was impressed by the old mercenary's sacrifice. In addition to that, he needed to collect more Soul Remnants and Soul Essences...

He was quite pleased with his recent achievements. His Summoning Gate had broken a hundred after the previous battle. He now had forty-three Enormous White Wolves and fifty-eight White-Marked Wolves! Medusa Mountain, was it? Once he collected enough wolves, he would show them how he was going to let the dogs… let the wolves out!

”I won't disturb you guys, but please let me keep an eye open for you. I will leave once you are safe for a week,” Chad said.

”Fine, I guess I can learn more about Cairo from you too!” Mo Fan accepted the kind gesture since the man insisted.

They would be leaving in a week anyway. It would not make any difference.
