Chapter 233 The Price of the Curse
Chapter 233 The Price of the Curse
The sky of the Land of Chaos is forever frozen in a sickly dark purple, like a scabbed wound.
The twisted dead tree stretched out its hideous branches, like countless arms struggling for survival.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of decay and sulfur, and every breath was a burning pain.
At this time, deep in the ruins, Dias was still tightly bound by the rough spirit rope.
Whenever Idoris tried to mobilize divine power, the ancient spells on the walls of the ruins would burst out with a dazzling red light, suppressing her power.
"Don't waste your energy." Dias's hoarse voice echoed in the stone chamber.
His once dazzling golden hair was now dull, and the hideous burn scars on his face looked even more terrifying in the dim light. "This is a sacred object from the Sea God Realm..."
"We have to try." Idoris's voice was as light as a thread, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his purple eyes. "This chaotic place can actually block divine power..."
"There's a special curse placed on this place." Dias moved his body with difficulty, and the chains made a harsh sound.
Idoris's beautiful face was filled with worry. "He's been missing for over half a month. I'm worried..."
"That child is stronger than we thought." Dias interrupted her, his eyes as firm as iron.
In the corner, Yang Mingjun silently rubbed the chain with gravel.
The former martial arts school owner was dressed in rags, his hands covered with blisters, but he was not relaxed at all.
"Ming army, take a break." Idoris advised with concern.
Yang Mingjun forced a smile and said, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing."
He continued to grind mechanically, as if this was the only way to prove that he was still valuable.
Idoris looked at the man who had once been her nominal "husband" and felt a mixture of emotions.
In this life, the person she feels most sorry for is him.
Suddenly, the iron door of the stone chamber was blown open by the black fog.
Wusha walked in slowly, wrapped in a black robe, and a hoarse laugh came from under his hood: "What a touching reunion."
She lifted her hood, revealing her terrifying face.
The left half still retains its beautiful appearance, but the right half seems to have been corroded by strong acid, and the skin has a strange honeycomb shape.
"Look at our noble Queen of the Sea God." Wusha scratched Idoris's cheek with his sharp nails. "She looks so miserable now."
Dias struggled against the chains: "Stop!"
Wusha slapped Dias in the face, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. "How dare a prisoner be so arrogant?" She suddenly laughed wildly. "But soon, you will see that bastard - when she comes to die!"
"What did you do to her?!" the three shouted at the same time.
"Wu Sha, what do you want?" Anger burned in Idoris's purple eyes.
"Revenge!" Wusha screamed hysterically, "Three hundred years ago, Mephisto killed my brother, the previous Great Demon King! I, Talomati, sacrificed myself and cursed the Demon Realm to have no new life!"
"You are... from the demon world?" Idoris widened his eyes in shock.
Wusha suddenly ripped open his black robe, revealing festering wounds all over his body. Those wounds squirmed like living things, constantly oozing black blood. "This is the price of the curse!"
Yang Mingjun took a breath of cold air.
In those wounds so deep that the bones were visible, one could even see the movement of internal organs.
Wusha seemed to feel no pain, and drew strange runes on the ground with black blood.
"What does this have to do with Xining?" Idorus demanded.
"Of course it's related!" Wusha grinned, "She has Mephisto's blood flowing in her veins!"
"What, that man..." Illyris said in surprise.
"Hmm, I wanted to use Mephisto to insult you and stir up trouble between the two worlds, but unfortunately..." She suddenly stared at Lin Yi's lower abdomen, "You are pregnant with that evil child! The blood of gods and demons forces us to change our plans!"
Dias suddenly sneered: "So that's why you want to get rid of Xining? Do you want to take revenge on him?"
"Yes or no!" Wusha approached Dias, and the foul breath sprayed on his face.
"Twenty-three years ago, Idoris gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The boy was playful and lively, but the girl was a hollow shell. The real reason was that I gave her daughter's soul to the Demon Lord!"
Idorus shuddered slightly at this shocking thing.
"W-what did you say?"
"It's a pity that the female fetus's soul is a pure demonic body, which is of no use to the Demon Lord. But at this time, Idorius was already guarding the male fetus, and I had no way to start. I had to lie to Idorius, saying that the boy and girl twins are one soul and two bodies. After eighteen years, the male fetus will have a calamity, and then the soul will return to the female fetus. Then I can directly dedicate the complete divine demon fetus to the Demon Lord."
"But that fool Arya ruined my plan and sent Eleanor to Dias."
Idorus trembled, not with fear, but with overwhelming regret.
She should have discovered it earlier - Wusha's abnormal behavior in the delivery room, and that "daughter" who was always sleeping...
"But it doesn't matter. Now it seems that your 'son' is as stupid as you!"
"Don't you dare insult her!" Idoris roared.
At this moment, the entire Chaos Abyss suddenly trembled violently.
Wusha raised his head suddenly, his black hair dancing wildly: "How is this possible? My flesh and blood maze has been broken!!"
The chaotic fog outside the prison was split open by a purple-gold blade of light, and two figures could be vaguely seen breaking through the outer barrier.
"The power of the Sea God... and the blood of the Demon King..." Wusha's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and then a ferocious smile appeared. "My dear niece, you are finally here."
Idorus, Dias, and Yang Mingjun looked up at the same time, with hope glittering in their eyes.
Wusha turned around, his black robe billowing like a living thing. "Looks like our tea party has to end early."
"Don't worry, once I lead her to the Chaos Core and sacrifice her... everything will be back on track!"
When the maniacal laughter disappeared outside the door along with the black robe, the stone chamber returned to darkness.
A tear fell from Idorus's eyes: "It's all my fault... I let the wolf into the house, I killed Eleanor..."
Dias looked at her painful expression, and the pain in his heart surged like a tide.
He comforted her softly, "Don't be like this, Yiyi. The crimes of that bastard Wusha have nothing to do with you. When I can get out, I will make her pay a heavy price."
"Brother Yas..." Idoris seemed to have returned to her innocent girlhood.
She sniffed and choked, "Am I really ugly now..."
Dias looked at her, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes. He said affectionately: "How could that be? In my heart, you will always be that innocent, beautiful girl. You will always be the one I love the most."
"Brother Yas..." Idoris threw himself into his arms, tears falling even harder.
Dias's hands were bound by chains, and he couldn't hold her in his arms. He said softly, "Yiyi, don't cry. I have a tissue in my pocket. Can you help me take it out and wipe it..."
"What time is it..."
Idoris gave a bitter smile and reached out to take something out. Suddenly, a hard object fell out, and a blue light burst out.
When she saw clearly what was in her hand, her pupils suddenly contracted:
"This... is this Xining's Sea Spirit Pearl?!"
