Chapter 630

Luo En felt that arm grow weak and limp.

He strained to raise his hand to block the opponent's attack.

But the next second, Luo En flew away like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground.

His energy was exhausted; now, if he tried to absorb energy, he would most likely absorb only more cursed power.

But this cursed power harmed him.

Without more energy to absorb these cursed forces, they would very likely affect his sanity.

Luo En restrained his desire, did not absorb the surrounding energy, and rolled to his feet.

The curses regarded Luo En with mocking eyes.

"Is this your full strength? If this is all you've got, you'll die soon."

Luo En wiped the blood from his lips and forced a smile.

"Is that so? But this isn't my full strength yet—you'll soon see my true power."

As he spoke, Luo En clenched his fist once more.

He could feel he was already at his last breath.

If he continued fighting, he couldn't hold out much longer.

So the next second, after summoning a massive divine statue, Luo En fled in the opposite direction.

The curses had expected another battle with Luo En.

They believed they would soon crush him underfoot and finally kill him.

But they hadn't expected the giant statue to blind their vision.

By the time the statue vanished, Luo En was already gone.

The curses exchanged glances, astonished—this guy had escaped again.

Luo En ran desperately, feeling the surroundings blur past at high speed.

His chest heaved violently; just now, he had used nearly all his strength.

That was why he now felt he was consuming his own life force.

He suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

Though disheveled, she felt a slight easing of her breath.

She wondered whether Nai Zi and the others had escaped already.

But now he couldn't care less—he realized his own condition was dire.

During the battle, though he had wielded immense power,

while fighting those curses, he inevitably absorbed vast amounts of cursed power.

Now, that cursed power was raging wildly within his body.

He felt his mind grow dizzy and foggy.

If this continued, he might very well lose his sanity.

Luo En quickly sat cross-legged and began desperately absorbing nearby energy.

Fortunately, this energy had not been tainted by cursed power.

When this energy entered Luo En's body, it swiftly purified the cursed forces.

After a moment, his condition improved slightly.

Luo En opened his eyes and saw a person standing quietly before him.

Luo En was startled.

He eyed the person warily; the person smiled at him.

"I never expected your alertness to be this sharp."

The person chuckled.

Luo En asked in surprise.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The person said.

"It's clear you're our ally in fighting the curses.

But you still don't fully understand where the curses' power truly comes from."

Luo En said, puzzled.

"Isn't the curses' power derived from cursed energy? There's plenty of it nearby.

Wherever such energy exists, curses must be present."

The person shook his head with a smile.

"Cursed energy? That's merely what the curses themselves emit.

What they truly need is the power of the moon."

As he spoke, he pointed upward.

It was night; Luo En followed his finger and saw the bright full moon in the sky.

"But curses appear during the day too—then they can't absorb the moon's power."

The person shook his head.

"During the day, the curses' power weakens—that's the best time to kill them.

At night, when their strength peaks, you chose to fight them.

That's like striking your weakest point against their strongest."

Luo En froze—he never imagined curses had such a trait.

I originally thought the curse possessed great power both day and night.

Now it seems my previous view was wrong.

Luo En said with a certain respect.

"May I ask your elder's esteemed name?"

The man chuckled.

"We are specially tasked with cursing this team.

Although this team is not very strong, we are extremely united.

I am Yokota Long Yi, the chief strategist of this group.

I noticed you a long time ago.

But back then, I could see you were still young and impetuous, single-mindedly bent on destroying those curses.

So at that time, I could not speak with you, for I knew you would not believe my words."

Luo En smiled helplessly; indeed, had he been the same person before, he would never have easily trusted others.

But after all he had been through now, he could feel the man's words were true.

Yokota Long Yi invited Luo En to sit with his team for a while, but Luo En shook his head and said:

"I still have another teammate to find. She should have already escaped the curses' grasp—I must find her."

Yokota Long Yi said:

"If so, we'll search with you. Tell us her features."

Luo En described Nai Zi's appearance in detail.

Yokota Long Yi nodded, then summoned his teammates.

It was clear they were a well-trained group.

They held various weapons, and their equipment was all top-notch.

Yokota Long Yi relayed Luo En's description to the others.

The others immediately scattered, searching swiftly.

Yokota Long Yi said to Luo En:

"This will be much more efficient. Once we find them, we'll begin planning how to eliminate these curses."

Indeed, with more people, efficiency rose sharply—they soon found Nai Zi and the man.

When they found Nai Zi, she was extremely tense.

Having just escaped the curses' pursuit, she was utterly exhausted.

When she saw Luo En, she suddenly lunged at him and wept silently.

Luo En quickly comforted her.
