476 Curses And Poisons Won’t Affect Me Anymore
—–
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
Suddenly, I felt like I was engulfed in flames. The young woman that grabbed my leg suicided by blowing herself up with some sort of device inside of her body, covering my entire being in flames.
However, instead of feeling my body being torn apart by the force of the explosion or being burned by the fire, I felt a warm mantle cover my entire body.
When I opened my eyes, I found Ignatius covering my body by extending his spiritual body like a mantle, he used Fire Absorption to absorb the explosion and ended saving me.
“Sylphy! You okay?!” He asked.
“Yeah, you’ve saved me…” I sighed in relief, only for a split of a second, as a flying spear suddenly flew towards my back, as I barely managed to evade it, even though it slightly sliced my stomach, leaving a big slash wound that began bleeding right away.
Ding!
[You have been inflicted with [Curse: Rotting Wounds] Status Effect]
.....
[Your wounds will rot and become putrid incredibly fast, draining away your life as long as the Curse lasts (30 minutes)]
“A curse?!”
“To think that even an explosion can’t kill you, you’re quite hardy… That strange spirit you have can negate fire magic or something?” Wondered the blue-haired woman. “Well, you’ve been sliced anyways, your wounds will begin rotting from now on… Be careful to not take more attacks!”
“Hah, as if a Curse would be a problem for me…” I laughed.
Ding!
[You have modified [Curse: Rotting Wounds] to [Curse: Healing Wounds]!]
[Your wounds will automatically heal at a higher speed as long as the Curse lasts (30 minutes)]
FLASH!
The slash wound, which was turning black already and the blood seemed to be rotting, began to disinfect itself and slowly stop bleeding altogether. Amazing. Maybe I should just try to find cursed equipment from now on…
“Your curse is… reverting?! What sort of magic is that?!” She asked.
“You’re trying to make up a conversation now or something to buy time? I already sensed your spear behind me.” I said, parrying the spear reaching my back.
CLAAASH!
The spear, however, came imbued with enormous quantities of Mana and Shadows, unleashing an explosion of darkness the moment I parried it. She quickly clicked her tongue, running around me and extending her hand into the air, as her spear flew towards her hand automatically, she quickly began infusing more Mana into it again.
“Is your strategy just launching your spear at me until it works? Let me tell you that trick is not going to work a second time against me.” I said, as she quickly seemed to grow pissed off, quickly flying towards me by jumping off the ground and then over her own spear, riding it into the wind!
“Don’t worry, I’ve come prepared! Shadow Arrows!” She roared back, as she suddenly summoned a dozen black magic circles around herself and then fired countless shadow arrows towards me. They were a powerful Tier 4 Spell, so I quickly began evading, while conjuring Fire Walls using my Ember to power them up and catch her while she was in midair.
FLUOSH!
One of the Fire Walls managed to reach up to her, but she quickly gathered more darkness into her own hands, which she seemed to be draining from her weapon itself and protected herself shaping it as a barrier around her.
BOOOMMM!!!
However, that was the perfect time for me to reach her by jumping over Furoh on his Fenrir form and then clashing against her by unleashing several Blazing Sword Techniques consecutively.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
“You’re a persistent little…!” She muttered, as she quickly clashed against me using her tail, which had a very sharp spear-like end, imbued with deadly venom.
CLAAAASH!
Her tail moved incredibly quickly, overpowering the speed of the swings of my blade and then managing to puncture my stomach and chest a few times, piercing easily across my tattered and broken armor.
CRASH!
I was pushed down, as I felt the pain around my body surge once more. I fell into the floor from a few meters, Furoh quickly caught me into safely, but a dozen of shadow arrows began to fall from above. A barrier made of light suddenly blocked them, as I noticed my mother intervening from afar.
“D-Don’t lose, Sylphy!” She cried.
“Tch, you’ve really got an overprotective mother! How lucky of you!” The blue-haired woman flew towards me, clashing against my sword using her cursed spear. “I’ll enjoy piercing that big belly of hers with my spear, popping her like a balloon after I am done with your pitiful excuse of a life!”
“You bitch!!!” Without hesitation, I used my free hand to punch her mask strongly, with everything I had!
CRAAASH!
Her mask quickly gained a few cracks, as her red eyes glared down at me through me angrily. She immediately responded with a kick in my guts, as I vomited a mouthful of blood and let go of the grip of her spear.
BAAAM!
Once more, I fell into the floor, this time without anyone to catch me. Furoh was suddenly struck down by her shadow arrows just in time before he could reach me, and his magic wasn’t strong enough to stop her either with that high magical resistant equipment of hers.
“Unnggh…!” I quickly tried to get up, spitting some more blood I had inside of my mouth. I felt the paralyzing poison reaching my entire body from within my stomach and chest, I had to quickly do something about this.

With this, the venom suddenly stopped working as intended, and instead, it began to make my strength constantly surge across my body. At the same time, my sword gained a mystical aura of flames, the new Subclass I took was working as intended.
