Chapter 71: Curse Master

It is a skill.

Originating from a low-quality online game's curse skill called 【Dark Tentacles】, it is a relatively strong support buff skill that can apply Dark Attribute skill damage to oneself or teammates.

Although the skill effect is decent,

it is useless to Itachi Uchiha. His combat style is technique-oriented; whether it is the mental-type Tsukuyomi, the flames of Amaterasu, or dazzling Genjutsu, all emphasize a kill upon the first strike.

This kind of continuous attribute damage does not provide much combat benefit to him.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at it and paid no more attention, continuing to hunt Fallen Ones to gain experience, wanting to complete the trial as soon as possible.

Immediately following,

two more Fallen Ones dropped materials.

A Flesh Crystal capable of slightly enhancing soul power, it is the most essential substance within the body of a Fallen One.

Fang Yi watched the continuously dropping materials and nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself: "This is the drop rate of a high-level Polluted Area; the luck of Orochimaru and Hoshigaki Kisame earlier was just too poor."

He had not forgotten the other goal of letting players participate in the small-scale trial, which was to fleece them.

In a high-level Polluted map, even the areas with scraps contain a very high concentration of origin energy; although the skills, items, and equipment that drop are Level 1, their quality is extremely high.

It counts as the players' first pot of gold.

As it turned out, he didn't expect that the two unlucky fellows, Orochimaru and Hoshigaki Kisame, would desperately kill a pile of Pollution Monsters only to have a few materials drop.

It made Fang Yi wonder if his anti-invasion plan had been exposed, and if the Polluted World Consciousness had sensed the problem in advance and set an ambush, preparing to counter-kill him.

Fortunately,

the appearance of Itachi Uchiha made Fang Yi understand that this situation had nothing to do with him; it was purely that the two of them were unlucky.

"So strong."

Itachi Uchiha encountered the final boss of the trial, a Fallen One whose entire body flowed with lightning arcs.

It is a special individual among the Fallen Ones.

The opponent could wave its sharp claws to unleash ball lightning, and its skin was terrifyingly hard; touching it would result in being repelled by lightning.

Helpless, Itachi Uchiha could only hand over his Mangekyo Sharingan to exchange for a set of beginner gear that boosts strength.

Feeling the strength attribute filling his entire body,

Itachi Uchiha twisted his wrists uncomfortably. Strength had always been his weak point; the Kekkei Genkai disease caused his body to be weak, making his Taijutsu ability decline rapidly.

Whenever he could avoid Taijutsu confrontation, he would try his best to release Genjutsu and Ninjutsu.

Now, this feeling of being full of strength made him recall, after a long time, the days when he was in the Anbu executing missions.

Die.

Itachi Uchiha's whole body was covered in lightning, and his health points were dropping rapidly, but he relied on his formidable strength to suppress the lightning Fallen One.

Dark Tentacles.

The dropped skill came in handy; a surge of pitch-black energy gushed out, attaching itself to the Kunai like tentacles.

The neck of the lightning Fallen One was torn open.

"Sorry, I must kill you."

Itachi Uchiha gripped the Kunai tightly, and the Dark Tentacles rapidly eroded the inside of the lightning Fallen One's body along its neck.

He stared at the Fallen One, which was erupting with lightning, and Sasuke's figure was reflected in his eyes.

Everything is for Sasuke!

The corpse of the Fallen One fell.

The flesh and blood were burned by the lightning, turning into charred ashes, and in the ashes appeared a fire seed as black as ink.

【Curse Seed】

Type: Profession Item

Effect: Allow the seed to take root in flesh and blood to sprout, gaining the power of curses.

Note: A Curse Master is a despicable and deformed profession; it plunders everything and also offers up everything.

Itachi Uchiha frowned.

He could not figure out the abilities of this profession, which made him somewhat hesitant and uncertain.

【Recommendation: Watch the Curse Master video introduction, price 2000 Reward Points】

Although most game profession videos are free to watch.

But does that have anything to do with my Samsara Game?

Itachi Uchiha, who was completely unaware of this, even felt the thoughtfulness of the game merchant for having prepared the introduction for the Curse Master in advance.

Even if he had to spend money, he did not feel there was any problem.

Just like the Ninjutsu treasured in the Scroll of Seals, every Forbidden Jutsu is easily sold for tens of millions; this knowledge is a form of wealth in itself and cannot be released for free for no reason.

Purchase.

Itachi Uchiha handed over the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror; he did not expect that these two special chakra weapons born from Susanoo could be sold separately.

The game merchant is truly honest and fair.

A transparent light screen appeared before his eyes, and segments of brilliant images and black text flashed.

A Curse Master who has fallen into darkness has a soul that naturally draws close to the Abyss and Hell, yet finds a path to salvation within it.

This profession is a very rare dark support.

It is different from the vast majority of light supports like clerics, pastors, and priests.

Most of a Curse Master's abilities originate from the Curse Seed rooted in flesh and blood; the profession skills all lean toward darkness, such as applying buff states to teammates, giving teammates dark affinity, dark attribute attacks, chaotic attack characteristics, etc.

Almost all dark-type professions focus on enhancing themselves, but only the Curse Master goes against the grain; despite falling into darkness, they are excellent dark supports.

But there are also flaws.

All of a Curse Master's skills consume soul power; once too much soul power is released, they will gradually be devoured by teammates, eventually turning into a Soul Imprint with extremely strong amplification effects, completely becoming a puddle of rotting blood and mud.

"A profession tailor-made for me."

After watching the video, this thought suddenly popped into Itachi Uchiha's head.

This special profession from another world completely overturned his understanding of power.

In the past, he only thought about using various means to help Sasuke, to become a force on the path of his growth and progress, but that was a kind of expectation and idea; in the end, the road still had to be walked by Sasuke himself.

But a Curse User,

could truly and realistically help Sasuke increase his strength!

Itachi Uchiha recalled the Black Flame that Sasuke released when fighting him; it was clearly a move that leaned toward darkness.

It was very suitable to be amplified by him.

His original plan was to die at Sasuke's hands after completing all his plans.

To be able to let his last shred of flesh and blood become nourishment for Sasuke's growth at the final moment of death was very worth it.

"As expected, fate can guide me to find the direction forward; I am willing to become a Curse User!"

With a firm gaze, Itachi Uchiha picked up that spark, not caring in the slightest about the scorching heat.

The Curse Seed,

after coming into contact with his palm, extended flame-like tentacles resembling roots, rapidly melting into Itachi Uchiha's body and flowing to the position of his heart.

Burning and pain.

Itachi Uchiha was expressionless; he had already endured too much suffering, and now the bitterness had ended and the sweetness had begun.

A trace of a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which had always rarely shown emotion.

The Curse Seed remodeled his physical shell, and his originally transparent soul was dyed with a layer of pitch-black color.

【Congratulations, you have taken the job as a 【Curse User】】

Because Yi Zi updates slowly, many reader brothers are hoarding the chapters, but Yi Zi still wants to shamelessly ask for follow-up reads. This is quite important during the new book period. Yi Zi really wants to make progress; please, dear reader brothers! (Wiggles butt)
