Light Curse

Divine Technique

Effect: The punishment of the God of Light. The cursed will have their power forever sealed by the God of Light and die within three years.

(Note: God can instantly destroy a mortal’s power and cause them to fall from the clouds, making them experience despair!)

This mission was very cruel. Link glanced at it and then ignored it. He wasn’t that naive kid anymore. He knew what he wanted to do and didn’t want anyone to interfere. Even if it was a god tempting him with Level-19 magic equipment, he would still be unmoved.

The Red Dragon Queen spoke now to everyone present, “This piece will cause a great imbalance in the world’s power. I don’t wish anyone to receive it, so I will do my best to destroy it! If I succeed, the world will be in luck. If not, I hope Firuman can be eternal!”

As she spoke, thick red light appeared on her body. They formed the illusion of a dragon. Half a second later, she transformed into dragon form.

Hearing this, Dark Magician Eugene yelled, “Gretel, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that we’d use this to stop the High Elves? How come you’ve turned now?”

Light Magician Halino also said, “Your Majesty, I agree, but let’s use it to stop the High Elves first and then destroy it.”

The Red Dragon Queen shook her head resolutely. “No, once this piece arrives at the World Tree, no one will be able to resist its temptation, not even me. Thus, I must destroy it now!”

“You crazy woman!” Eugene yelled. Dark flames faded in and out around him as he berated, “Without it, we’ll all die when the realms fuse and Mana explodes.”

“So what? Life will pass. My race’s mission to maintain the balance in the world is truly eternal!” Gretel’s voice was calm. Her eyes were also calm; she’d seen everything in the world.

In the distance, Inferno Warrior Hamilton watched all this and burst into laughter. “It’s laughable. It’s truly laughable. You haven’t even gotten the piece, and you have internal fights already. There’ll be a great show next… Alright, don’t look at me. I’m not your match. You guys take it while I get out of here. Seeing this was enough for me.”

With that, he turned around and walked back. Soon, he was gone. Even his aura had disappeared. He really wasn’t going to continue this fight.

Six people were left.

Eliard looked to Link. “What do you plan on doing?”

He wasn’t interested in ruling. To him, the best thing in life was to quietly study magic and spend his time with his loved one. This had mostly come true in Ferde.

Now, this piece was threatening his happy life. His intent was the same as the Red Dragon Queen. He would do his best to destroy the piece. However, if Link wanted it, he would also try his best to get it for Link. He knew that the world wasn’t as beautiful as he thought. He may not want it, but that didn’t mean others didn’t want it. Link getting the piece was better than others getting it.

As for Nana, she would do whatever Link said.

Halino looked at Link and hurriedly said, “Lord Morani, don’t forget the crazy plan of the High Elves. I believe the wisest choice is to take the piece, stop the High Elves, and then destroy it. If you agree to help us get it, I can take three astral meteorites from my personal archive as compensation.”

As soon as he finished, Eugene said, “Lord Morani, you have common sense. Halino’s plan doesn’t’ have any problems. If you agree, I’ll add three more astral meteorites.”

On the other side, the Red Dragon Queen didn’t say anything. She also looked at Link. She was clear that whether or not she could destroy this terrible piece depended on Link.

He already had a plan. Glancing at the piece on the mountain, he smiled. “Actually, I—”

Before he could finish, there was another flash. When the light subsided, a dwarf appeared. It was the Mountain Sage, Heroto.

This was another variable.
