Chapter 304 The Great War (14): Cursed Yet Again
Neither Devis nor Shin had any wings despite their transformation. They stood on their four legs as scales covered all the way to their paws, claws enlarged and sturdy.
Both of them looked very different while still being the same.
Devis looked like a majestic light or gold dragon full of glory while Shin looked like calm snow which could turn into a dangerous blizzard at any moment if underestimated.
For the audience, it wasn't even surprising anymore. They wouldn't be surprised to see if both transformed into celestials or even Supreme celestials, though, this comparison was a bit too exaggerating.
The celestial who were looking at the arena was sweating profusely. The situation was out of their hands as unimaginable things kept happening.
First, hundreds of wolves appeared out of nowhere, second - tons of swamp residents and even strong creatures made their entrance. Third - some undead and a dragon were summoned. Fourth - two wolves transformed into a dragon and a gigantic serpent. Anf finally fifth - the two leading wolves had dragon-like scales covering their bodies, transforming into dragon-like beings or to be precise, transforming into half-dragons.
The celestials turned their gazes towards others too as there were other shocking battles.
They saw Don Wukong's victory over Gargus. Also, Freris and Aaron who played a big part in the Fang Clan seemed badly injured as blood dripped from their bodies and mouths.
Argant had taken good care of them.
As for Lurion, he was completely pale, realizing that he had very less amount of mana left in his Necrospace. Terran and Raka were the ones who made Lurion pale as they continued to destroy all his summons.
He couldn't waste mana on them anymore as he was almost out of mana due to which the summons looked completely cracked and many bones of their bodies seemed missing.
The other wolves of the fang clan were also in a tough position as Aella, Siara, the Gigard king, the Alligator king, the Giant frog king, Deoras, and the shadow wolves had killed many of them.
The general ranked wolves were all dead, maybe just one to two alive, the rest all dead.
Blanca was taking good care of the lightning and dark wolves who seemed stronger than other wolves. His mouth was bloodied and his white fur turned red due to all the blood.
Alira, the young tiger cub, would have been the same if she was here. But right now, according to Shin's orders, she remained in one of the rooms guarded by Kaily. They hadn't made their appearance yet.
The Dark Elves however were fighting brilliantly as a contrast to what everyone thought.
Until now, not even one of them was killed, which was quite impressive.
"…"
The Fang clan was doomed.
The undead dragon that had two heads dashed towards Terran and launched [Dark flames] towards him, however, the attack was easily blocked with the skill [Earth wall].
The attack wasn't much and the raised wall of the earth didn't even have a crack on it.
Terran used [Earth Shatter] and [Earth Blast] which formed a crack near the undead dragon right after which thousands of rocks flung at him from the cracks, eventually exploding as they touched the bones.
'A dragon…? You aren't even worthy of that name.', Terran said as he turned his back.
He knew that his attack was more than enough to defeat the undead dragon. After seeing the amount of mana Lurion had, he knew that the undead dragon couldn't have been revived.
It was true. The undead dragon flew and fell to the ground due to the impact. One of his heads completely crumbled.
After defeating the undead two-headed dragon, Terran thought that he could again focus on busting the remaining weak skeletons, but the undead with four arms and a pair of wings dashed towards Terran and used its strongest skills such as [Wing Cutter] and [Mana Blades] but Terran easily dodged them all.
The undead lich was supporting the undead dragon and the undead monster from earlier, to help them defeat Terran, however, the lich's attacks couldn't change the outcome.
Raka was fighting the dragon with a single head and the undead warrior. Raka was handling the situation easily, except for the fact that he was running out of mana and was handicapped.
The undead warrior tried to slice Raka's head off with a sword that it held, but Raka's body was covered with strong scales due to which, the blade couldn't even leave a scratch on his body. He didn't even dodge it as he knew that a useless normal sword would have no chance against his scales. He then spat a black liquid which melted some parts of the undead warrior, his bones falling on the ground and ending up vanishing due to the liquid.
'So what if I can't use poisons? I can surely use toxic spit.', Raka concluded.
He knew that even a toxic spit was dangerous as others could get caught in it if he aimed in the wrong way, however, he trusted himself and his capacity to lock a target, hence, went ahead with the attack which was successful.
Raka and Terran were huge! But the stadium was much bigger than them and was easily able to accommodate everyone. Needless to say, Raka prevented himself from taking his original size and limited himself to half the original size. As for Terran, the same was true.
Regardless, the undead warrior dashed towards Raka and swung his sword once again only to fail yet again.
However, the warrior didn't give up and twisted and rotated itself, trying to increase the velocity at which the sword would strike.
Raka knew what the undead was trying to do, so before it could gain any more momentum, he moved his mouth forward at a mindblowing speed and bit the sword with all his might, and held it. The undead stopped spinning and tried to free its sword only to find the same black liquid melting away almost half the sword.
Raka then soon left the sword, letting the undead warrior fall on the ground as he noticed the one-headed undead dragon dashing towards him while covering itself with a black aura.
Without wasting any time, he spits the same black liquid at the dragon, melting its skull and its ribs away, yet the dragon didn't stop.
It moved even faster and hugged Raka tightly, surprising him.
'Wha-'
Fie, the black aura that the dragon had around him was a curse, and now, it ended up cursing Raka as well.
*Ding*
[The individual Raka has been cursed.]
[Curse identified: Inhibitor.]
[Effect: The curse will dampen Raka's growth and will turn him back to a wolf form.]
"…"
"Huh?"
Shin was annoyed and surprised when he noticed this text on the screen.
Raka was just freed from a curse and was cursed yet again. Not even an hour had passed!
'Just how weak is Raka against curses…?'
"…"
Shin then asked, 'Wait, can't I use curse eater to lift his curse again?'
*Ding*
[Curse Strength: 9/10]
[Source of the curse: The One-Headed Curse Dragon.]
[Current level of the skill Curse Eater: Lv.5]
[Required Level of the skill Curse Eater to lift the curse: Lv.9]
"…"
'Wait, so what will happen to Raka…?'
'His stats will be inhibited but will he really turn back into a wolf?', Shin asked the system.
[Affirmative.]
[The curse is from a curse-type dragon.]
[Only targets having scales will be affected by it.]
[Any target affected by the curse will die.]
[But if the scales vanish from the target's body, then the curse will stop working and the host will gain adequate time to level up his skill and lift the curse.]
[Conclusion: Regression to wolf form is a necessity.]
The moment Shin read these texts, only one thing went through his mind, 'Beings with scales will be affected…'
'No…'
'Why am I suddenly getting this bad feeling…?'
Shin turned a bit towards his right only to see this bad gut feeling taking action.
Since Raka and Terran were fighting nearby, the undead dragon that actually hugged and threw itself at Raka, ended up pushing him and finally touching Terran.
*Ding*
[The individual Terran has been cursed.]
[Curse identified: Inhibitor.]
[Effect: The curse will dampen Terran's growth and will turn him back to a wolf form.]
"…"
'Really!?'
"…"
'Argh! Fk! Dammit!'
Shin was at a loss for words after he saw what just happened.
