Chapter 494: A Headache-Inducing Curse

"Curse?"

"The Tower Witch actually came up with a curse?"

"Why does everyone look so surprised? Haven't the Witches come up with things related to curses before? Aren't those Degenerate Species transformed into that state after being cursed?"

"Those people got what they deserved, okay? Fundamentally speaking, it can't even be considered a curse. After all, the blood of other evolved races can also cause this phenomenon."

"True. Only something unique can be considered a curse, like magic."

"It's like in games, the difference between active and passive, right?"

"Probably so."

"What are you all talking about? Are these things important? Isn't figuring out what kind of curse it is the important thing right now?"

"It's said to be a curse that makes people feel pain worse than death but won't kill them."

"Although it's a new trick, it's undeniable that the Witches are truly driving the development of magic."

"Yeah. If it weren't for this curse-type magic specifically used to harm people, it could indeed be considered development."

"You're not going to mention why curse-type magic appeared at all, are you?"

"They must be vested interests. At that time, just the people who ran out of the Forsaken Territory numbered over ten million. God knows what these people did in the Forsaken Territory."

"Bullshit, I'm just saying. What, do you guys like being cursed?"

"Nobody likes being cursed, but anyone with a clear conscience shouldn't be afraid."

"Exactly, exactly. You're so afraid because you also participated in the Forsaken War, right?"

The appearance of curse-type magic caused everyone's jaws to drop.

Especially after the efficacy of the curse spread on the world channel, everyone unanimously discussed this newly emerged magic category.

To be honest, although everyone was very shocked by the appearance of this magic, it was only limited to that.

After all, this was a magical world. Since it was a magical world, the appearance of any magic was to be expected.

Especially since it was basically a consensus in the minds of Earthlings that there 'must be a necessary connection' between 'Witches' and 'curses', it was even more to be expected.

In other words, under the circumstances of having ample psychological preparation for a magical world, the Witches using curse magic didn't seem like something hard to accept.

If one had to say, perhaps it was only the effect of the curse that truly made people a bit scared.

But just as some people said, since they hadn't made any mistakes and hadn't provoked the Witches, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After all, as far as the overall performance of the Witches was concerned, although they had been very active recently, generally speaking, they were a group of guys who liked to research things in their workshops.

It could be said that as long as you didn't take the initiative to provoke them, they wouldn't use this inhumane magic to deal with you.

After all, anyone with even a slight understanding of those who engage in research knows that these people don't want to waste time on anything other than research.

That's right.

For Witches, even trying to find a way to deal with those worried people was a waste of time and energy.

Of course.

This didn't mean that everyone was so open-minded, nor did it mean that everyone had offended the Witches.

Among those worried people, apart from a small number who indeed suffered from persecution paranoia, most of the rest were invaders in hiding.

Originally, facing the Witches' pursuit method of attacking everywhere and relying on luck, they only needed to hide. By reducing their exposure and acting as low-key as possible, they could basically avoid it.

But who knew that these Black Witches would actually come up with something like a curse in order to kill them!?

As the parties involved, the intelligence they obtained was naturally much greater than those leakers on the world channel.

There was a squad that was just walking on the street, not bothering anyone, and four of them were directly cursed.

Moreover, according to the squad captain's investigation of the surrounding scene, no suspicious persons were found either.

Under these circumstances, there were only two possibilities to explain this.

One was that it was done too covertly, covertly to the point that even these mercenaries who had participated in the Forsaken War and retreated completely intact failed to notice.

And the second was that the curse was cast from a distant, unknown place that these mercenaries couldn't even see.

After all, in the concept of Earthlings, a curse was a Witch or sorceress tinkering with various props in a dim room to curse the target. It was simply impossible to conduct a curse face-to-face.

If it was the former, it would be fine. Being careful would always yield a solution.

But if it was the second, then it wasn't a matter of being careful or not.

Because there was simply nowhere to escape to!

No matter where you hid, as long as the other party wanted to curse you, they could curse you anytime, anywhere, and whenever they felt like it. Who could stand this!

"No, it seems we still have a place to hide!"

"Where?"

"Dungeons! The Witch's curse definitely cannot reach an alternate dimension where even card communication is impossible."

"That makes sense."

In their respective groups, everyone was discussing matters concerning the curse.

Right now, they just wanted to find a safe place to hide.

Some people were even complaining about why they had to act against the Witches in the first place.

However, complaining was just complaining. Everyone had no solution to such an established fact and could only rack their brains to think of how to resolve it.

As for why no one considered launching another attack on the Witch Clan, that was entirely because the world had awoken to reality.

Back then, the attack on the Witch Clan was only because Lan Qingyou, the Tower Witch, was absent that everyone dared to gather around.

As a result, after a war, everyone had gained a full understanding of the caliber of the Witch Clan.

This was a race with high combat power and various strange and bizarre magics.

Compared to other races like Forest Elves, Titans, or Merfolk, whose magic was relatively singular, they were much harder to deal with.

"Do you guys think it's possible to figure out what medium the other party is using?"

Just as everyone was discussing what kind of dungeon to enter to take refuge, someone asked a question that struck directly at the soul.

"Medium?"

Some people didn't understand.

"As everyone knows, things like curses normally require a medium as a bridge between the caster and the cursed. Only in this way can a person be accurately cursed."

"If we can figure out exactly what the Witches are using as a medium, perhaps we can avoid the fate of being cursed?"

Indeed!

After being reminded, everyone suddenly saw the light.

In the common sense of Blue Star, curses usually required mediums like dolls, candles, needles and thread, mirrors, crystal balls, or even ores.

If the Witches developed magic based on the common sense of Blue Star, then such things definitely existed.

Thus, everyone immediately sprang into action and began to delve deeply into the Witch Clan's curse magic.

After all, compared to surviving in a dungeon with nothing, they still wanted to stay in the convenient environment of human society.
