Chapter 558: 'Mockery Curse' and 'Chaos Curse'

On the other side.

After flying over the chaotic square, Angela followed the route of the guy who escaped earlier and chased after him.

Probably because he felt the other party didn't see him, this escaping guy used magic similar to acceleration after entering the alley.

This judgment was definitely correct.

After all, speed was the key to buying time.

But he forgot one thing, which was that standing opposite him was a witch, a witch who could see the flow of mana and even mana residue.

So even if Angela didn't keep up with this guy in the first instance, when she flew over later, she only needed to follow the mana residue left by the other party to chase him down.

This Boulder Village originally wasn't large.

After twisting and turning for three minutes, Angela arrived at an area surrounded by black stones.

The floor area could be considered one of the largest among all the shelters in the village.

Barring any accidents, the targets that needed to be rescued were inside.

However, since the other party had already entered the shelter now, conventional attacks definitely wouldn't work.

Thus, the studious and inquisitive Angela drew a book from her card.

A curse magic book; this thing was also made by Angela herself.

Only, compared to Lan Qingyou's book, it was slightly inferior. The entire book only recorded two curses.

But it didn't matter; any one of these two curses could achieve the effect she wanted.

Thinking like this, Angela opened the page and placed the mana she had casually grabbed earlier onto the magic array dedicated to curses.

"With the Crown of Dullness as the guide, and the Hollow Tongue as the medium;"

"Let echoes linger beside the arrogant one's ears;"

"Let every boast turn into a crow's cry;"

"Let every vain step fall into a quicksand trap."

"May your pride collapse like a house of cards, revealing a ridiculous bottom card in front of everyone."

Whoosh!

As the last sound echoed, a ray of light flew straight toward the shelter.

But this wasn't over yet. After seeing the light completely disappear outside the room, Angela placed that small pinch of mana onto the magic array on another page.

"The meticulously cared-for mask cracks, hypocritical praise drives you mad;"

"When sensibility becomes a marionette;"

"When rationality turns into thorns of ice;"

"All wisdom and composure cease to exist."

"Leaving behind emptiness, leaving behind fullness, leaving behind scorching heat, leaving behind severe cold;"

"Ultimately refracting a seven-colored absurdity under the sunlight."

Snap.

After speaking another new incantation, Angela closed the magic book in her hand.

The second ray of light was also very fast, disappearing outside in minutes.

Subsequently, Angela heard an 'awoo' cry coming from inside the shelter, followed by the sound of things being smashed onto the ground.

In less than half a minute, a person rushed out from the shelter.

This person was none other than the guy Angela had seen earlier.

Only, compared to him a few minutes ago, he was much more disheveled now.

Apart from his clothes being somewhat messy, blood was seeping from his forehead and arms.

The key was that the other party was holding a scimitar, looking around fiercely at the entrance of the shelter, showing no concern for his own wounds at all.

Why the other party was like this, Angela was naturally very clear about.

'Mockery Curse' and 'Chaos Curse', these were the curses Angela had just launched at him, and also the curses Angela could grasp at her current stage.

Originally, Lan Qingyou had quite a few low-level curses, but compared to those tormenting curses, Angela preferred this kind of curse with stronger indirectness.

Just like with Golems, being the strongest was useless; only what suited oneself was the best.

Very obviously, her curse combination succeeded.

Not only did she force the other party out of the shelter, she even caused the other party to be injured, reducing a lot of pressure for herself.

Snap!

Angela learned from her minister, Adele, and snapped her fingers.

Subsequently, the guy below, who was somewhat frustrated after looking around and finding no one, suddenly collapsed to the ground and lost all signs of life.

Angela didn't even cast a glance at this guy.

After all, a background character had nothing worth looking at.

What was truly worth her looking at was the shelter.

After this background character fell to the ground, Angela kept staring in the direction of the shelter.

It wasn't until she saw a mana reaction that spread out like ripples that her hanging heart finally settled down.

From this manifestation, it wasn't difficult to discover that the person was the holder of this shelter.

Now that the holder was dead, the shelter naturally turned into an ordinary house without a Magic Shield.

After confirming the shelter had failed, Angela rode her Flying Broom and rushed in.

The things that burst out of the magic desk due to the holder's death caused an entire wall to collapse.

But Angela didn't even cast a glance at these things; instead, she walked straight into the room the guy had just rushed out from.

As soon as she entered the door, Angela saw someone wearing a white robe dyed red with blood lying in a pool of blood.

Barring any accidents, they should have been killed by that background character outside.

After all, the other party was hit by both the Chaos and Mockery curses. At that time, the whole person should have been in an idiot state, so doing anything would be very normal.

After taking a look at the layout of this room and the few office desks, Angela turned her head and went to the next room.

After entering the second room, Angela finally saw the people she needed to rescue.

This room was a long, strip-shaped room with the walls knocked through.

It had a simple structure where one could see from this end to the other at a glance.

But being simple didn't mean it was truly 'simple'.

At this moment, inside this simple strip-shaped room, cribs were placed one after another, and inside the cribs were babbling infants.

Yes, you didn't read that wrong, they were infants.

To be more precise, they were female infants, all of them were female infants.

Why the Pure Origin Sect people wanted infants, and all female infants at that, was also a bit blurry in Angela's investigation.

The only thing she knew was that they only needed female infants.

However, from the documents, Angela could be certain that this was absolutely not the first time the Pure Origin Sect had done this.

Counting backwards from now, a few years ago when everyone had just transmuted, because everyone's survival wasn't guaranteed and they often went hungry, not many people would think in that direction.

But with the growth of strength, the understanding of this world, and the appearance of Adventurer Cities, everyone gradually went from their initial panic to becoming accustomed to it.

Although not everyone had the qualifications and abundant funds to live in a safe place like an Adventurer City.

But undoubtedly, the appearance of cities made the thought of wanting stability sprout in everyone's hearts.

Under this background, newborns naturally emerged as the times demanded.
