Kira and Aaron were rather baffled when they heard him say that with ease.
Until now Shin had been saying that his healing skills wouldn't work so they expected him to show at least some discomfort.
Instead of that, he seemed quite confident and they had no idea about the source of his confidence.
But Kira knew that Shin wouldn't just lie. Aaron was also not suspicious of his saying.
For some reason, after talking for some time, they thought that they could trust Shin.
Also, since the moment they had started calling him 'Master Shin', they had automatically developed a respect for him and that didn't fade even by a bit.
Of course, Aaron wasn't able to control himself earlier and was off to hurt Shin, but he was now calm and was able to comprehend everything properly and calmly.
Therefore both of them trusted him at the moment. Moreover, Aaron was so desperate to save his family that he begged again and requested to find the solution as soon as possible.
"Yes..."
Basically, they thought that Shin had to be present at that place in order to analyze the curse by taking a look at them personally. Therefore, both of them had to exit the cave and wait for Shin to come out.
Until then, they were tasked with not allowing anyone else to enter the cave in any circumstance.
"Phew, finally they left..."
Right after Shin said that he walked towards the members who were inflicted by the curse.
As soon as he started to near them, the warning notification popped up again.
'Ding'
[ Warning ]
[ High Curse Density Detected ]
[ The system advice the host to step back ]
However, Shin didn't listen or even see the warning message that popped up. He had something else in his mind.
It was as if he had thought about something beforehand and was now marching boldly while grinning.
[ Warning ]
[ You have been Cursed ]
[ Your HP will start to decrease ]
As he was only 20 meters away from them, he got affected by the curse. It was a type of curse that depleted HP.
'Has the curse from their body grown so strong that it is able to inflict anyone who hasn't even touched the bodies directly?', he asked himself.
Of course, curses don't usually spread but according to Aaron, all of them started to suffer one by one.
After hearing that, he understood that the curses were contagious, which meant that they were able to spread.
That was why he labeled the curse to be quite powerful.
Despite knowing that, he still walked towards them probably because he was sure of something or had some amazing plan in his mind.
And it seemed like the plan indeed worked or to be precise, he gained a new skill.
[ Warning ]
[ You were cursed ]
[ Your HP will decrease ]
At least, those were similar to the older notifications.
[ Congratulation ]
[ You have gained an active skill 'Total Curse Immunity' Lv. max ]
[ Total Curse Immunity -> As long as the skill is active, the host won't be affected by any curse ]
That was a useful skill which he got. That was precisely what he was aiming for.
He was satisfied with that, but it seemed like the system reacted to the curse which had already been inflicted on him.
[ Congratulation ]
[ You have gained the active skill 'Curse Eraser' Lv.1 ]
[ Curse Eraser -> The host can lift the curse from the inflicted ]
'What the...?'
'Is it that easy to gain skills?', Shin wondered.
This wasn't the first time the system had surprised him, but getting skills so easily was the biggest surprise for him.
All he had to do was expose himself to the abnormality and tada, a new skill would be generated in an instant!
He smiled because of this since he would definitely become the strongest being who would not be affected by any abnormal conditions, but little did he know that this thing would become the biggest hindrance sometime in the future!
Well anyway, he succeeded in doing that anyway on top of that he received a bonus to remove the curse from others.
"Haha, I thought about asking help from him again, but it seems like there would be no need for that!", he smiled while looking at the brank new skill.
And just about when he was going to use the skill on the other hurt ones, a sudden notification popped up.
[ Warning ]
[ You have been inflicted by a curse ]
[ Your HP will decrease ]
[ Less than 20% of your HP remains ]
[ HP: 11/60 || Max. HP: ??? ]
[ Advice: Use the skill Curse Eraser on yourself ]
Indeed, the feature of giving advice was excellent because Shin wouldn't panic at crucial moments.
Now too, a solution was right in front of him and it was indeed an excellent one.
He almost immediately used the skill since he couldn't waste any more of his time since it would be fatal to himself.
His eyes started to shine with white-Light which indicated the usage of the skill. Of course, the system notification also popped up which acted as a clear indication too.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill 'Curse Eraser'Lv. 1 ]
[ The skill has been targeted to the host ]
[ Star 01 curse will be erased immediately ]
[ Erasing... ]
Shin had to wait for a minute or two until the skill could completely erase the curse or in a better word, lift the curse.
'Ding'
[ The host has been freed from the curse 'HP Eater' ]
[ Due to the activation of the skill 'Copy', a new active skill 'HP Eater' Lv.1 has been generated ]
[ HP Eater -> Drains the 1 HP of the target per second ]
[ Active Duration: 00:00:02:00 (2 minutes) ]
[ Cooldown Timer: 00:12:00:00 (12 Hours) ]
"What the-?"
It was awkward, way too awkward. More than that, he was baffled and awed.
He was speechless because yet again, he gained another new skill.
But more than that, he was surprised by seeing the new information like Active duration and cooldown timer!
"Wow, I need to prepare myself mentally because I might go crazy if the skills fall like the rain!"
