Chapter 129: Curse of Love (1/2)

'This energy... it's the same energy that black snake have!', Rex shouted in his head while dashing towards the source madly.

He remembers this energy well, it's the first energy that makes him feel fear.

Back when he's still in the swamp beside Zrolis City, he remembers that he and Devan meet a cursed creature that manages to bypass his senses.

If the Green Messenger hasn't intervened, then he will probably die without knowing why.

It was a terrifying moment, even remembering it gives him goosebumps.

Rex arrives in the north wall, he saw the wall barricade already got breached. He instantly deduces that it's the Orcs doing.

The ground is black, 'Adhara is on this site, did she fail to defend this side?', Rex thought in surprise.

Adhara is the second strongest in Rex's eyes, she manages to reach rank four power and even have the Peak Great Element Purple Fire.

So knowing that Adhara fails, Rex is surprised.

He then went inside Wedron City and not long saw Kyran and the others, they're all looking at the red sinister energy that exploded out of nowhere.

”What happened to her?”, Rex said surprising Troy.

Kyran looks at Rex that comes out of nowhere and said, ”She exhausts herself fighting against the Orc, she then suddenly passed out”

Hearing this, Rex looks to the side and saw a big burnt carcass, 'That Orc is stronger than the guard in front of the Warchief's hut, no wonder Adhara fail this side'

After checking on Adhara, ”Isn't that the church's direction?”

”Yes, something must've happened there”, Troy said with a frown, he doesn't understand what happened there.

Rex tells Troy to bring Adhara back to rest before he signals Kyran to follow him.

Both of them dashes towards the church direction,

Rex already knew what he's dealing with when he saw a notification from the system.

<Sudden Quest>

Curse of Love. Love can make someone good but it can also be a double-edged sword.

The Prince of Green smiles, he then cursed the woman's partner to avenge the death of the woman. If successful, he will become an immortal creature feasting on hatred.

Stop this from happening, only by the hand of the cloudy eyes can the Curse of Love be broken.

Quest Reward: Cursed Sense, 15 Skill Upgrade, 1,000,000 Exp, and Gem of Love

From reading the system's sudden quest, Rex already got a gist of what he's dealing with here.

'So if I fail this, a very powerful cursed creature will be born', Rex thought.

The sudden quest tells him to prevent this forbidden partner from killing the woman's killer, but he's still confused about how to break the curse.

Both of them then arrive at the scene, they saw a creature standing in the middle of the destroyed church.

The creature is bigger than Rex but not by much, its body is filled with red sinister energy and his eyes are pure red. The energy is making creepy sounds as it hovers around the creature's body, it sent a danger signal to Rex.

Rex knits his eyes, 'That's the cursed creature, it seems like he's an Orc'

The Orc that has now been cursed is kneeling in front of a cross, Rex saw a woman hanged on the cross that is already dead.

'That must be the dead blind woman, so how can we break the curse', Rex thought with a  frown.

”Rex, what should we do now. What is that thing?”, Kyran asks from the side, he never encounters such a creature that emits horrifying energy.

Rex scans the cursed Orc and saw that he's only a mid-rank four in power.

He then saw a couple of people that survive around the corner before he said, ”Kyran, I'll distract the Orc. You go and ask the people there what happened here”

”Why don't we just kill it? It should be possible”, he said while clenching the ax in his hand.

Hearing this, Rex explained, ”That's a cursed creature, you may not see one before but they can't just be killed. We need to find what triggers the curse, we have to break the curse to kill it”

Kyran nodded his head before he looks at the people on the side.

But just when they wanted to commence their plan, five Orcs suddenly arrives at the scene.

From just a glance, Rex already knows that the Orc in front is the Warchief and the other is the guards that he saw before.

”Xoruk! My son, what happened to you”, the Warchief called out sadly.

His eyes are teary as he saw his son turns into such a horrifying creature, ”Snap out of it Xoruk! Come home with me”, the Warchief continues as he steps closer.

The other guards held the Warchief back, ”Warchief, it's not safe! That's not Xoruk”

All of them are trying to persuade the Warchief to leave the place, they know that Xoruk already turned into something else. It's not even an exaggeration if Xoruk can't remember the Warchief.

”LET GO! I WON'T ABANDON MY SON!”, the Warchief cried as he flicks the other guards pushing them back.

He then approaches Xoruk who is already staring at him with his red eyes.

The Warchief hands stretch out trying to reach Xoruk, his eyes are teary seeing Xoruk in this condition.

As a father, his heart breaks seeing his son in this state.

Rex and Kyran are watching this from the side, they decided to see what this cursed creature will do when it got approached.

Just as the Warchief's hand touch Xoruk's shoulder,

ROAR!!

Xoruk cried out a deafening roar that creates a heavy shockwave to the surrounding, his body is shaking uncontrollably before suddenly.

BITE!!

The Warchief's neck got bitten by Xoruk, it gushed blood instantly like a fountain.

The guards that are watching this immediately dashes to help, but all of them got flung away just by the roar of Xoruk.

”My son, It's my fault. It's okay now”, The Warchief said while caressing Xoruk's hair.

Not long after, Xoruk bites off the Warchief's throat killing him instantly.

Seeing their Warchief's died, the other guards roared in anger and attacks Xoruk but all of them died instantly.

The red sinister energy makes Xoruk stronger than all of them.

Xoruk roared once again, he stands up and glares in a direction when suddenly, ”Force Beam!”

BOOM!

Xoruk got punched crashing through many walls before stopping.

Rex punched Xoruk after activating his Pure Brace of Moonlight Skill and his force, it becomes more powerful because of the Black Devil Gloves he got from the system.

”Kyran go now! I'll keep him busy”, Rex said.

Kyran immediately went to the people and started asking questions.

Rex saw that Xoruk already get back on his feet,

But instead of charging towards him, the creature suddenly dashes to the left leaving the place making Rex widened his eyes in surprise.

'Why did he dash there?', Rex thought.

He recalled the system's explanation before he widened his eyes in realization, 'A man's jealousy! We must stop him from killing someone!'

Realizing this, Rex immediately uses his Flash skill and went after Xoruk.

Rex saw that Xoruk is heading towards the city hall where the people is sheltering, 'That someone is in there, I must stop him!'

He immediately picks up his pace and tackles Xoruk.

BOOM!

Xoruk and Rex got flung to the side, they're right in front of the City Hall. There are many people outside the city hall that got pushed out of the City Hall.

They look at Rex and Xoruk in horror.

Rex got kicked on the stomach sending him crashing to the city hall's wall.

Without even pausing, Xoruk jumped towards Rex wanting to smash him through the wall but Rex saw this coming.

BAM!!

Rex caught Xoruk's fists, his eyes glister as he punches Xoruk's face.

He punches Xoruk using Force Beam but Xoruk's head only gets tilted to the side, it then growls menacingly before he slammed Rex to the city hall's wall.

BOOM!

The City Hall's wall got destroyed sending Rex inside, many people were shocked as they scream hysterically.

'He's getting stronger?!', Rex thought as blood flow on his mouth sides.
