Chapter 2463 - Losing the Will to Live! (2/2)

For God’s sake, did he lose his mind? Why did he choose to go with Zhang Xiaohou? It was worse than trying to interrupt the Forbidden Curse!

“Is it too late to change groups now?” As soon as Zhao Manyan finished the sentence, thin yet visible rays of light descended from the sky.

They split up the sea and the sky into different parts, like geometrical lines.

It was already dark, but a strange light was shining upon the area, like a thin illusion. The surroundings turned a little blurry, like they were heading into a mirage.

“What’s happening now!?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in shock.

Zhang Xiaohou said with a wry smile, “Didn’t I mention it? The Forbidden Curse might trigger a Gravitational Vortex.”

“I’m not good with my studies. Can you please explain what a Gravitational Vortex is?” Zhao Manyan was starting to feel uneasy.

The sight was too shocking. It was not exaggerating to say the world was changing. Zhao Manyan might have believed that everything within view would be dragged into a deep abyss in the next second!

“It’s similar to the gravity of the Earth, which we can only escape by traveling at a certain speed. Otherwise, we won’t be able to reach other planets.

“The Forbidden Curse has a gravitational field, so unless our speed and momentum is enough to exceed its force, we won’t be able to escape to safety!

“It takes a long time to Cast a Forbidden Curse, but it obviously won’t allow its target to escape easily. The Gravitational Vortex is the first sign of a Forbidden Curse!” Zhang Xiaohou patiently explained to Zhao Manyan.

“You don’t have to explain the details. Just tell me, is it too late for me to make a run?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“Yes, the Gravitational Vortex covers dozens of kilometers. If the Forbidden Curse is the God of Death, every creature within its area now has their names written in the Book of Life and Death,” Zhang Xiaohou informed him.

Different Forbidden Curses had different levels of Gravitational Vortexes. Zhang Xiaohou had only learned about some of the Forbidden Curses’ powers from the military.

If using the Earth’s gravity to describe the Gravitational Vortex was not clear enough, one could treat the Gravitational Vortex as invisible chains.

Creatures as small as flies to as large as Ruler-level sea monsters within the area covered by the rays of light were tied to the chains.

They would need to exceed the restraining force of the chains to break free from them, or the chains would eventually drag them back!

Zhang Xiaohou could not reach the required speed needed to escape a Forbidden Curse.

Most Super Mages could not reach it, either. Even the Flying Dragon, Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon, and the powerful sea monsters could not reach it.

The only thing they could do was to look up at the lights and wait for the Forbidden Curse to be stopped prior to its Induction, or watch it fall on them!

Zhang Xiaohou knew there was no backing away from his decision. He had placed his life in Mo Fan and Mu Bai’s hands.

“So if we want to live, first, it must be a trap the sea monsters have set, and second, Mo Fan and Mu Bai must stop the Forbidden Curse successfully?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“Yes.”

“But what if it isn’t a trap? Mo Fan and Mu Bai won’t stop the Forbidden Curse, which means it will happen according to the plan. As for the two of us who are stuck in the Gravitational Vortex…”

“That’s why I’m impressed by your resolve,” Zhang Xiaohou smiled, like he was not going to feel lonely even if he died here.

Zhao Manyan’s face paled.. He had completely lost the will to live.
