Wizard Immortal

Chapter 385 Discovery

"What are your plans for the future?"

Sitting in the car, while driving, Teresa asked questions.

However, although he was asking everyone, his gaze was fixed on Adir, clearly showing that he was most interested in his thoughts.

"I want to go back first and tell my father what happened today, and see if I can persuade him to leave this city."

Sitting next to Teresa, Kuss spoke first. He seemed to still be reeling from what had happened and was still troubled by it. He wanted to get away from the academy and even the city.

"It's better to leave." Teresa nodded, and unusually spoke a few more words: "This curse is very strong. If it is not contained in the early stages, it will probably expand over the next few months and eventually devour the entire city."

"That terrifying?" Hearing Delisa's words, Coral's expression changed as he stood beside Adir, as if he had remembered something.

"Yes, that's what these kinds of curses are like." As if remembering something, Teresa's expression turned grave: "You all know about the tomb incident thirty years ago, right..."

"I know that." Kus nodded. "It is said that the army of another kingdom entered the kingdom's cemetery, not only blowing up the entire tomb, but also causing great chaos and causing huge damage to the entire city."

"Military conflict is just a pretext," Teresa sighed, her expression somewhat grave. "In reality, that incident was similar to what we're facing today."

"Could it be..." Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately changed color.

"That's right." Teresa nodded gently: "That incident was a typical curse outbreak. In the tomb, affected by the curse, all the corpses accumulated in the past turned into monsters, killing people all over the city. In the end, they even slaughtered the entire city. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the process."

"In the end, the scope of the curse expanded once again, even forcing the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Steel Fruit Kingdom to unite and send out their armies to clean it up, barely managing to suppress that outbreak of the curse."

As Delilah explained, the audience fell silent for a moment.

Kus felt a chill run down his spine as he thought of the familiar college from his memories, and his breathing became heavy.

"Don't worry too much." In the back seat of the car, Adir, with his eyes closed, suddenly interjected, "I severely damaged that curse, and most of its previously accumulated power was worn away. It won't be a problem for a while."

Upon hearing these words, the group nodded slightly, recalling the scene that had occurred earlier.

They had all witnessed the grand scene created by Adir's direct confrontation with the curse, and they were still terrified by the immense power that instantly enveloped the entire city. They couldn't believe that it was something that could be done by a single person.

Under such immense power, the curse's true form no longer had the strength to trap the entire academy, and must have suffered tremendous losses.

"Speaking of which, this kind of curse is not uncommon. Although it is rare to see one on the scale of today, smaller ones are not uncommon."

Ahead, Teresa turned to look at Coral: "This gentleman, as a police officer, should know quite a bit about this, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Coral.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Coral's expression turned serious. After carefully recalling the events, he nodded solemnly: "Indeed, quite a lot."

He wasn't one of those newly recruited police officers, but a seasoned veteran who had been on the job for decades.

During his decades-long career as a police officer, he experienced many things, including many strange ones. Even now, he still feels lingering fear and dread when he thinks about them, and he dares not recall them.

While such incidents are not frequent, they are certainly not uncommon, occurring roughly once or twice a year. Each time such an incident occurs, the local police chief considers it a taboo subject and dares not touch upon it.

"So these things exist right here among us." Kuss muttered to himself, looking at Coral. The thought of these things sent chills down his spine.

"Sim, are you alright?" Tilly suddenly asked from the back seat of the car.

She looked at Adir beside her with a worried expression.

On the surface, Adir's condition was very bad. Not only was his face pale and bloodless, but he had also kept his eyes closed since he got into the car, and he looked somewhat weak.

"I'm fine." Adir opened his eyes, looked at Tilly beside him and smiled. "I'm just a little exhausted, it's nothing."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, looking very tired.

Adir's condition was indeed very bad at this time.

This curse is different from the previous ones; not only is its power far too great, but its vitality is also terrifying even to Adir.

Facing the true form of the curse, Adir had already exerted all his strength to suppress it. Now, he felt a faint stinging pain in his mind, as his mental energy had been excessively depleted.

Of course, compared to other gains, this is not important for the time being.

"The energy of the realm has increased again."

With his eyes closed, sensing the increase in the power of the realm within him, Adir muttered to himself, feeling both delighted and surprised.

Previously, when he severely injured the curse, the boundary energy on his body suddenly increased rapidly, which he clearly felt.

This unexpected gain surprised him, but it also made him think about a question.

"What exactly are these curses?"

Thinking about his experiences since coming to this world, Adir was filled with doubt and muttered to himself.

The growth of world energy can only be harvested when Adir's actions cause fluctuations in world energy, apart from treasures like Worldstones that naturally contain vast world power.

In the previous world of knights, whether it was influencing the chosen one or expanding one's own influence, it was all based on this characteristic.

But now, in this world, similar effects can be produced by significantly impacting curses.

"Could it be that the curse of this world is itself something akin to a chosen one?"

Sitting in the back seat of the vehicle, Adir pondered quietly: "Is it because I severely damaged the curse, which in a sense saved the others in this city, that the power of the world instinctively descended?"

Both hypotheses are plausible, but Adir is more inclined to believe the latter.

Regardless, he was prepared to find an opportunity to test it out later to see if the increase in boundary energy was indeed related to these curses.

If that's true, then his purpose in coming to this world this time might have to change.

"Perfect timing, it seems there's still a vessel for the curse lying at home..."

For some unknown reason, he silently opened his eyes, a ruthless glint flashing within them.
