"The Curse of Weakness..."
Rem looked at the children's pale faces. Although they were unconscious, they were breathing rapidly and desperately, with cold sweat on their foreheads. Their sleeping faces looked like they were having a nightmare. Rem completely believed what Tokichi had said.
"What should I do? I have no way to break the curse, I only have healing magic, but it doesn't work..."
"Isn't that what I'm here for?"
Shichen patted her on the shoulder, then squatted down, flipped his hand to open the sacred fire, and sprinkled it on Petra and the others.
"Shichen, what are you doing...?!" Rem was startled as she watched the flames engulf the children.
"Just trust me."
"..."
Rem now truly believed in the timing, and she also noticed that the flames were not burning the children, and their complexions were beginning to improve.
This flame doesn't harm people; it can even heal them?
Chapter 493 Wielding the Meteor Hammer
The curse of this world is nothing. In the blink of an eye, black smoke rose from Petra and the others, and they were burned to ashes.
"The curse has really been broken?" Rem exclaimed in surprise, looking at Shichen with a strange expression.
What kind of magic is this?
That's amazing!
"I told you I'm amazing, didn't I?" Shichen withdrew the flames and smiled smugly at Rem.
“Hmm!” Rem smiled when she saw his smile.
For the first time, a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
"Big, big brother..."
Just then, the children who had been exposed to the curse awoke. Petra opened her eyes with difficulty and called out the time in a weak voice.
"Petra, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Shi Chen helped Petra sit up and gently rubbed her head to encourage her.
"It's all over now, don't worry. The pain is gone. Don't be afraid, your maid and I are here. We're strong."
"Um...but...there's still one person inside..."
"What did you say?" Rem exclaimed in surprise.
"There's...there's still...inside..." Petra hadn't finished speaking when she fell into a deep sleep again.
At such a young age, how could she withstand the torment of the curse she had just endured?
But her words made it quite clear what she meant. Rem looked around at the children and noticed a problem.
"Where's that girl with the braids? She's not here. Could Petra be talking about her?"
The girl with braids, the one holding the puppy, is so close to that monster that she might be the most vulnerable to being hurt.
Rem couldn't help but worry about her; this was clearly not how she should feel.
"What do you want to do?" Shichen asked Rem quietly.
"If that child was taken away by a magical beast, I'm afraid he's already..."
"It's not decided yet, is it? Tell me your true thoughts," Shi Chen encouraged.
"The real thought..."
Rem murmured, looking at Petra, who was sleeping soundly in Shichen's arms. The first thing the little one said after waking up was that someone had been taken away.
Despite her previous suffering, she was still worried about her friend's safety. This young and frail girl was more concerned about her friend than herself.
"...I want to be the hero you mentioned, Shichen. I want to carry Petra's courage and go save that little girl."
"Rem actually had such an idea?" Tokichi laughed heartily.
"It's all your fault, making me, as a maid, stop thinking about things from my own position," Rem said with a smile, blaming Shichen.
"It's all my fault, I will take responsibility."
"Okay, you take Petra and the others back first, then I'll go after them..."
"Wait, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shichen interrupted Rem's plan in an annoyed tone.
"Of course I'll go with you. I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."
"But Petra and the others are here..."
"Don't worry, I'll just send them back."
Shichen got up, snapped his fingers, and the space around Petra and the others fluctuated. Then, the children simply vanished into thin air.
"What is this?" Rem stared wide-eyed in surprise at the empty meadow.
"Don't worry, they've already returned to the village."
"You...how did you do that?"
"Magic," Shi Chen explained simply.
"magic......"
Rem hesitated, as this was the first time she had ever seen such magic.
"I'm very capable, you just need to keep believing in me."
"I've always believed in you... I understand, let's go save that little girl quickly." Rem's confidence soared, and her heart pounded with excitement.
She had never done what she wanted to do before, but it felt so good, as if she were breaking free from constraints and gaining freedom.
"it is good."
Rem led the way, and the two continued deeper into the forest.
He didn't sense the girl's presence at all, since he didn't need to worry about her anymore. He was just encouraging Rem so she could do what she wanted.
Following behind Rem, watching her carry the iron ball, the contrast was so strong, but it was unexpectedly cute.
Suddenly, Rem stopped in her tracks, and the surrounding air felt disjointed.
"There's the aura of a magical beast..." Rem whispered a warning without turning her head.
"Ah."
Shichen also smelled it, the strong smell of wild animals and the intense fishy smell carried into his nostrils by the wind, completely masking the smell of the earth and grass.
"Time...!" Rem called out to him excitedly in a low voice.
Shi Chen leaned closer, his gaze passing over her shoulder, and through the bushes, he saw the target they were looking for.
At the edge of the field of vision, there was a sparsely growing area with a tree that had fallen due to wind and erosion. Beside the fallen tree, there was a pair of slender, fair feet.
Her legs, bound by tattered clothes, and her loose brown braids revealed her identity.
“It’s her,” Shichen whispered in Rem’s ear.
"Hmm... let's go quickly." Rem, unable to bear the scorching breath of the hour, shrank her neck and walked towards the little girl.
Shi Chen reluctantly followed her.
I don't know if I can confirm the situation, and the little girl is lying on the ground without moving, which is obviously not normal.
There was no sign of the monster that had kidnapped the girl.
Shichen thought that Rem might be confident in her own strength, after all, she was not weak.
"Roar--!"
Just as the two were about to approach the monster, an unexpected event occurred: the bushes began to sway, and then a four-legged beast emerged.
The beast has short, black fur and looks a lot like a Doberman Pinscher, but it is at least twice the size.
Its toes were as sharp as claws, and even with its mouth closed, it couldn't completely conceal its teeth. Saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth as it let out a low growl and glared at Shi Chen and the others with bloodshot eyes.
"Monster..." Rem showed no fear, carrying the iron ball as she faced the monster.
"Shichen, go and save her. I'll take care of the monsters."
"So confident?"
"I'm very strong," Rem replied with a smile, using the words she had spoken a moment earlier.
"Alright, let me see for myself."
"give it to me!"
As soon as Rem finished speaking, she rushed towards the monster. She spun the heavy iron ball around as if it were a small toy.
The monster was also fearless, lowered its head and crouched down, bent its four legs, and then pounced on Rem.
Shichen didn't go to save the little girl; he stood there, admiring Rem's heroic figure.
Rem and the monster blinked and met, but the monster was no match for her. In the blink of an eye, the iron ball hit the monster's head directly, causing it to explode instantly and die.
The monster's body, which had fallen to the ground, was headless, and a small patch of ground was covered with red liquid.
Rem's face was also covered in blood, but it didn't look out of place at all; instead, it made her appear alluring, as if she were going mad.
"Rem, watch out!" Shichen reminded her at the opportune moment.
As he finished speaking, countless bright red eyes, piercing through the darkness, appeared in the surrounding woods.
“Perfect.” Rem grinned maliciously, her eyes filled with madness.
Therefore, she did not notice that countless red eyes were staring at the girl, as if they wanted to protect her.
"bring it on!"
The Rem Chains swung and spun in the air, the heavy, destructive weapon spinning at a rapid speed, as if to destroy everything.
Wherever Rem passed, the iron ball spun, easily sweeping down trees. Monsters in the forest were crushed by broken tree trunks and died instantly.
With their companion killed, the other monsters bared their fangs, suppressing their rage, and pounced on Rem.
So many monsters, yet none could get close to Rem. As the iron ball spun, it struck the monsters, denting their bodies or shattering their skulls.
The petite girl wielded a powerful iron ball, causing countless bloodstains to bloom in the forest. Ignoring the blood, she stood still, her smile maniacal.
