“Your majestyWe will perform the ritual now, and it will interfere with your curse”
In the ic circle drawn in gold and silver In the center of the circle, there were pillars of red geold and silver radiated outwards in all direction in a whirl
The king stood in the center of the large ic circle
There were several thousand Archic circle with their knees bent
The old vassal stood outside the e clear crystal eh with both his hands
The large crystal let out a light, and as if thelightThe ic circle, was also surrounded by a white light
The ht becaht pressed in on hiic circle started to crack
Everyone’s face was cruOnly the king didn’t feel any pain, and he had his eyes closed with a peaceful expression on his face
“Ciaruuda!”
The old vassal let out a powerful yell then he brought down crystal staffThe clear crystal broke, and a golden light quickly followed the lines of the ic circle
A blue fire erupted covering the entire ed to surround the king
After ahad happened
The icians and priests were coic circle was completely destroyed by the fireThere were only black ashes left behind
The king opened his closed eyes
“Did we succeed?”
“……it seems we didn’t fail”
It seemed the old vassal was tiredHe used the staff with the broken crystal to prop himself up, then he answered
“Your s and power…It is beyond our capability to move more than a fraction of your powerFortunately, we’ve confirmed a small portion of your power had been transferred
“Which power?”
“That I do not know”
The old vassal bowed his head in apology as he continued to speak
“Your majesty has to check it out for yourself”
Hahn-suhjin opened his eyes
The inside of his head felt dizzyHe had a slight headache, and he was nauseous
It felt as if he had a dream, but he couldn’t reht about the content of his dream for a brief moment, and he clutched at his abdomenHe hurriedly popped in a painkiller, then he sed it doater
“Oh yeah! I have to go to work!”
He was about to jump up, when he stopped himself
