Chapter 241 The End of the Curse
“——He broke through that wall!”
Behind the Red Maple City military formation and on the high slope of the observation tower, City Lord Nelson was looking out from the tower, with an expression of joy on his face.
Behind that "cursed curtain" is the camp of the Dark Vanguard Army! Without the obstruction of that wall, the army of Red Maple City can march straight in and carry out the final siege against the Dark Army!
As soon as he thought of this, Lord Nelson immediately climbed down from the tower and said to the guard knights guarding the rear:
"I need to contact Lord Baines."
"The 'curse curtain' has been shattered, now is a good time to 'behead'."
"It's time to ask the adults from Fangbeiyuan to take action."
…
In the center of the battlefield.
When Luo Xiu led the priests to break through the "curse curtain" and completed the beheading of several "cursors", his panel suddenly jumped and a new mission appeared.

【……】
Luo Xiu had been on the battlefield for more than ten minutes, and he had also killed the hostile transcendent NPC before triggering this limited-time mission.
This is also the way players in previous lives triggered battlefield missions. Enter the "battlefield where the war takes place" for a period of time, and during this period "attack NPC targets in either camp" to trigger the corresponding task.
But this task reward for players when adapting to the "second destiny" is no longer very attractive to Luo Xiu now. He took a cursory glance and after confirming that there were "epic" quality specialty rewards among the "special completion rewards", he closed the panel.
Then, he looked at the "Binder" Haqiz in the group of spell masters opposite, whose aura was rising steadily, and a look of caution and solemnity flashed on his face.
He knew what Khaziz was doing. "The Curse" Haziz has untied the curse that bound him. He will devour everything he sees with "curse", or be swallowed by the curse.
At this time, the bleeding bandages wrapped around Haqiz's face were peeling off layer by layer, revealing his original, ferocious face.
The long-rotted facial flesh, foul-smelling pus, and blackened and dead blood were accumulated on that horrific face.
Looking from a distance, Luo Xiu could not even tell clearly where Haqiz's eyes were and where his nose and mouth were.
At the same time, the ominous spirituality drawn from his body has also condensed into reality, turning into thick flowing scarlet fog that hovers around him, eroding everything around him.
When Luo Xiu sensed the dangerous aura coming from "The Curse Master" Haqiz, he no longer chased ordinary "cursors", but drove the "Golden Pegasus" towards Haqiz. .
At the same time, the scarlet sickle in his right hand has also been withdrawn and replaced with the epic magic staff "Evil Bite". The magic crystal core on the staff immediately burst out with strands of golden light, instantly condensing a row of "Holy Light Annihilation" light clusters.
At this time, skills such as "Thunder of Judgment", "Dragon Thunder Burning Ember" and 'Light Wings of Heavenly Punishment' were still cooling down. Luo Xiu simply used the fastest-turning "Holy Light Annihilation" to test and suppress it, and at the same time Fenrir, the "Holy Flame Wolf King", was summoned, and Pegasus spread his golden wings of light.
Fenrir pounced directly in the direction of "The Cursed One" Haqiz, and created circles of burning fire rings around him, burning the essence of the curse that Haqiz continued to release.
Pegasus, on the other hand, soared into the sky, hovering back and forth in the mid-air above Haqiz's head. The surrounding body quickly condensed into pieces of flying stars that contained the spirituality of "annihilation".
"It's so noisy..." On Haqiz's ferocious face, two lumps of rotten flesh trembled up and down, making a hoarse voice, "The person who is bound by the curse cannot have a moment of peace..."
In the next moment, the scarlet color around Haqiz suddenly flew rapidly, his skin began to fester, and his flesh quickly swelled; then, sticky tentacles sprouted from his mouth, and blood-stained thorns sprouted from his body!
The blood flowing out quickly covered Haqiz's body, and his whole body was deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But Luo Xiu didn't want to appreciate this visual feast of Cthulhu. The more than forty "Holy Light Annihilation" light groups floating and surrounding him flew in the direction of Haqiz!
——Boom! The flying star of "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus and the flame pillar of "Holy Flame Wolf King" Fenrir also blasted in the direction of Haqiz at the same time. Golden and white dazzling light instantly bloomed, traveling in the opposite direction. The light trail quickly escapes!
The scarlet light lingering around Haqiz was completely drowned by the continuous bombardment from Luo Xiu, Pegasus and Fenrir. Through the "spiritual vision", Luo Xiu watched Haqiz continuously shrink his spiritual defense until it was completely tightened to the extreme, only protecting his head and heart.
Even if "The Cursed One" Haqiz wants to break the curse, the gap in hard power between him and himself is still too big... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
Without the defense of the "Curse Curtain", it was only a matter of time before "The Curse" Haqiz and a bunch of fragile curse masters were destroyed.
"The Cursed One" Haqiz, whose body was not as strong as a "warrior", was quickly broken through the first and second levels of cursed shields, and his spirituality began to falter, and it was time to On the verge of exhaustion.
But Luo Xiu's "mana" was still on the health line, and at the same time, the cooldown of his "Thunder of Judgment" had also expired.
Luo Xiu then stopped condensing the holy light group of "Holy Light Annihilation" and began to chant a prayer quickly. The "Bite of Poison" in his hand immediately emitted a bright golden glow, and a trace of tiny electric light. has been wrapped around it.
The next moment, boom! The tribulation thunder struck down with a bang, hitting Haqiz's deformed body.
The first Thunder of Judgment was the most powerful. It pierced the third shield that had already been riddled with holes by Pegasus and Fenrir, and the light cracks on it instantly expanded a little.
And the bombardment by Pegasus and Fenrir continued, until at a certain moment, the last shield of "The Cursed One" Haziz was shattered!
His body was completely exposed to the bombardment of Luo Xiu, Pegasus and Fenrir. When Luo Xiu detected his panel, the blood volume of "The Cursed One" Haqiz had begun to show Cliff cut!
That's it... making it impossible for "The Cursed One" Haqiz to escape from the bombing circle, not allowing him any opportunity to release the curse, and just destroying him like this... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and at the same time he asked " More spirituality is instilled in "Evil Bite", which once again strengthens the power of releasing holy magic.
During this period, the cooling time of "Dragon Thunder Burning Ember" has also expired. Luo Xiu then released "Thunder of Judgment" and "Dragon Thunder Burning Ember" alternately. Scarlet and golden lightning flashes alternately bombarded Haqi. There were burning scars one after another on Zi's body. "Uhhhhhh!" Just below, in the smoke where Haqiz was, Haqiz's painful wails came out.
At this time, Haziz was in a "severely injured" state and was quickly approaching "dying". There was only a trace of blood left before he could be truly killed.
However, just when Luo Xiu was detecting his panel, the moment Haqiz's blood volume was about to "return to zero", a circle of scarlet light suddenly appeared around him, and a surging spiritual impact began with him as the starting point. The earth spreads outward!
——Boom! Bang! Fenrir, who was closest to the inner circle, was suddenly swept away by the scarlet air wave and flew away. The "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus was also affected. The flying stars that shot towards Haqiz collided with the cursed light surge erupted by Haqiz, and a dense light mist bloomed in the mid-air.
"The Cursed One" Haqiz, whose body had been riddled with holes and was about to die, recovered a little in an instant. And his health volume was raised from 1% to 30% again, briefly escaping from the near-death state.
——He also has the ability to be immune to fatal damage!
During Luo Xiu's panel detection of Haqiz, he quickly found the corresponding item in his expertise column.
Luo Xiu's attention quickly returned to Haqiz's body, and he saw that the blood-red tentacles emerging from various parts of his body had begun to grow again, and the power of the curse also condensed into substance around him, and his body It is also expanding at an extremely strange speed.
He wants to blow himself up! The self-destruction of "The Cursed One" can release the curse to the greatest extent... Luo Xiu knew this very well.
But he would not give Khaziz this last chance.
While watching Haqiz's body expand, Luo Xiu also held up the "Bite of Poison" and poured a sufficient amount of spirituality into it.
——"Poison-quenching fangs"!
Luo Xiu activated the inherent skill of this magic staff, and he detonated all the "evil poison" marks at the same time!
——Boom, boom, boom, boom! The 100 layers of "Evil Poison" marks that had already been stacked up by "Holy Light Annihilation", "Thunder of Judgment" and "Dragon Thunder Burning Ember" all exploded at the same time!
This time, the "original" damage of 50% of his health, excluding Haziz's resistance reduction, still brought his health back to 1 point!
The remaining 1 point of life also comes from Haqiz's other blood-locking specialty, but this does not help.
Haqiz's body exploded immediately, and the wriggling tentacles and cursed pieces of flesh exploded to pieces in an instant. The green poison coursed through his body and began to gnaw and erode his flesh and blood.
"No...no..." Haqiz groaned desperately, but he could no longer stop the collapse of his body.
Visibly to the naked eye, Haqiz's body disintegrated after a period of struggling and squirming, and the red mist containing the curse was gradually drifting away and dissipating.
The originally swollen pieces of flesh quickly shriveled up, and the chaotic spirituality used to "self-destruct" leaked out like a leak.
At the same time, the large number of curses that had no place to be released began to "backfire" on their original hosts. Pieces of thorns sprouted from Haziz's body again, but the "thorns" no longer pierced his enemies, but instead pierced himself.
At the same time, a huge amount of black blood gushes out from Haqiz's mouth like a fountain and tilts to the ground. The black blood immediately turned into maggots, flies, and blood rats, squirming, circling, and crawling around.
The backlash that Haziz suffered finally caused his health to completely return to zero.
Because Luo Xiu was the one who caused the final damage before Haqiz was cursed and died, so the "kill" reward was also counted on Luo Xiu's head. After he confirmed that Haziz's kill reward appeared in his mailbox panel, he closed the panel and gave Fenrir another instruction.
The "cursed creatures" that sprang up due to Haziz's death began to spread throughout the battlefield after wandering around the Borderless Land for a while. Fenrir, who had been blown away by the cursed air wave before, immediately spit out burning holy flames at the maggots, blood rats, and flies in the air, burning away all the remnants of these curses.
And Haziz's body was burned up in Fenrir's holy flame. There is no longer any curse in the sea of fire, only the charred remains of the previous fierce battle.
'The Cursed One' Haqiz, even if he is completely dead like this...his curse will be wiped out, and my priests and the army of Red Maple City will not suffer losses due to this... Luo Xiu thought to himself With this in mind, he immediately gave Fenrir the order to move freely, and then rode the golden Pegasus and galloped towards another battlefield.
…
"'Haziz the Cursed One, he died in battle..."
Behind the dark military camp, on the observation deck on the hillside, "Executioner" Afatak was looking at the battlefield in the distance, murmuring solemnly in his eyes.
He did not expect that Haqiz would die so quickly.
Afatak, who also has the fourth level of destiny, understands that the "curse" curtain is actually not that easy to break through, and it was originally the basis for resisting the "hosting ceremony" of the church.
However, I don’t know what method the “host of the ceremony” used. The last and most critical torrent of curses carried out by the “curse curtain” manipulated by Haziz was completely offset by the church’s priests...
And this fatal "mistake" eventually caused the "curse curtain" to break, allowing the troops of Red Maple City to file into the hinterland of their own military formation!
"Executioner" Afatak, he never figured out how the other party could do such a thing.
The light flow was chaotic at that time, and even from the "spiritual" perspective, Afatak could not fully see what happened.
He could only make a guess first, guessing that it was a certain "authority" - the "authority" given by the diocese before the "master of ceremonies" took office.
But does [Glory] really have such level I authority? Afatak was thinking about this in confusion, and this doubt gradually climbed onto his brows, causing him to frown.
Unable to think of an answer, Afatak simply gave up thinking and focused on the subsequent battlefield.
The death of "The Cursed One" Haqiz will certainly put the overall battle situation at a certain disadvantage, but it will not be to the extent of causing Afatak's injuries.
After all, to Afatak, their "monsters" are outsiders and can be used. Even if they die, it will not be a pity...
A cold and sinister expression gradually appeared on Afatak's face.
He looked at the forest not far away at the same time, where the real trump card of their dark vanguard army was hidden.
And "Beast Tamer" Crowl has also "awakened" that "trump card" and is ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
"It's time, Kadrak..."
Without looking back, Afatak said to the "Giant" guard behind him:
"Go into the forest, find Kraul, and tell him...it's time."
Just behind Afatak, a tall figure nodded slowly, and then walked down the hillside with long strides, heading towards the forest.
After the "guard" Kadrak left, Afatak said nothing more and just looked deeply in the direction of the forest.
In a daze, he seemed to feel the gaze coming from the forest.
In that forest, thousands of eyes were watching.
A greedy, manic and hungry gaze.
That group of things that "shouldn't exist" are about to break out of the forest.
