Chapter 338 - The Curse Of Pride Part 3 Of 3 (2/2)
”Yes. The Longevity Blessing allows the one who owns this blessing to be literally immortal. They can't get sick, their wounds heal in the blink of an eye, they can't easily get damaged by anything and if they did, they will heal immediately. Limbs that are torn will be regenerated to the body and death by old age is out of the question too. Not only that but the Goddess of Life restricts the one who has the blessings to even kill themselves.”
”As much as I wanted to help you, this is not possible for me.”
The guy then grits his teeth. But before he can lash out his frustration, Death continued.
”You see, the Longevity Blessing is a very strong blessing and my blessings alone can't do that as my authority is not designed to take over the life of someone. It's the power that allows the souls of the dead to get their peace of mind and to save them from the darkness that corrupts their souls beyond saving. With the blessing in your body, if I try to bestow the blessings of death to you, the Longevity Blessing will immediately overwrite my blessing, deeming it useless in the end. Looking at the power she bestowed on you, she has given quite a lot of power to you that removing it is not going to be easy unless she removes it herself.”
”So you mean you can't help me on this matter?”
”I didn't say it is impossible, however, it will put too much strain in your body and since you can't die, even if you wish for it to happen, you won't be able to do it. In fact, you have a high chance to get corrupted in this matter instead of removing the blessing completely. If you get corrupted, I will have no chance to save your soul once you get corrupted. All blessings bestowed on you will disappear the moment you get corrupted. I can't save you anymore if that happens.”
”If that method can remove the blessing of the stupid goddess then that is much better than not actually removing it. What should I do?”
”Basically, I will have to put a curse on you. And if you are not strong enough, you will not be able to survive this. The curse can be cured once the blessings you desire to remove disappear but there is a chance that you will succumb to the curse instead.”
”Alright, give it to me.”
...
After that scene, the surroundings went from pitch black and my floating body slowly descended and I landed on solid ground though I don't think this is a ground since I don't see anything that will allow me to know whether I am in some sort of space or this is an imaginary land.
”Welcome, the person who has acquired the curse of my weapons. It seems you have seen the memories of the owner of the weapon himself.”
Someone started speaking that I immediately assumed battle stance even if I have no weapon. If it is a fistfight, I can still give a proper fight without a problem.
”Haha, as expected, you are someone who won't easily go down.”
”You... You are the one who got the Longevity Blessing.”
”Ah yes, the real one already died peacefully. As you can see, this is the consciousness of the Weapon of Pride, the Vanagloria, and Superbia but as you can see, I took the form of my previous owner. Since you are now the one who owned the two weapons, it is natural for me to appear before you.”
”So what do you want?”
”Even if I am just a remaining consciousness left behind in these weapons, it is still my duty to know whether you are worthy enough to wield it.”
”But that weapon is already eaten by weapon, that doesn't make sense...”
”No matter what you say, you have no choice.”
The guy then snap his fingers and his body returned to his form back when he is in his prime.
”I will personally test whether you can survive and wield the curse properly. If you want to earn the power of pride, then earn it by force.”
DANG!
”Come!”
