Chapter 642

The door now showed faint cracks, as the enemy unleashed a torrent of curses to assault it.

Luo En nodded; he could also feel the door about to shatter. He said:

"Get ready. As soon as the door breaks, we charge out immediately."

At that moment, the entire door began shaking with increasing frequency—it was clear this place would fall soon.

Luo En frowned tightly, already prepared to burst out.

With a thunderous boom, the whole room shook violently, as if the enemy sought to invert it entirely.

246, Siege of Curses

The power of these curses was terrifying—they could move the entire room by their own force.

Luo En's face darkened. He said:

"It seems our opponent this time is extremely fearsome. We must be fully prepared."

Taiyaro nodded, his hands gripping the twin blades trembling slightly.

Though they had faced many curses before, this was undoubtedly the most difficult.

The signs of the door's rupture grew clearer—suddenly, a pair of pale hands reached out from within.

Sliding desperately, trying to open the door; the moment the hand touched the handle, a flash of Jin Guang appeared.

The hand recoiled swiftly, as if injured.

Only then did Luo En notice the handle was inscribed with runes.

He had not seen these runes when they arrived earlier—likely added this morning.

Who had done this? Had they already foreseen these curses would find this place?

Though runes adorned it, they could not hold for long.

Soon, the entire room shattered, and the curses surged in like a swarm.

Luo En roared:

"Now! Charge out!"

Without delay, they lunged toward that direction.

Luo En struck violently, each punch carrying a torrent of curse energy.

The surging curse energy exploded like dawn breaking through darkness.

In that instant, the rushing curses were all repelled by Luo En.

Taiyaro swung his twin blades furiously, each blade infused with heavy curse energy.

Both could inflict damage upon the curses.

Each slash cleaved them cleanly in two.

Though the curses healed rapidly, they clearly feared these two and began slowly retreating.

Seizing the opportunity, Luo En charged forward with all his might, Taiyaro right behind him.

At that moment, two hands suddenly shot out from the dark room, gripping Luo En's ankle.

Luo En assumed it was one of the curses—he swung his fist downward with all his strength.

But the immense force made him lose his balance.

He crashed to the ground, and the curses surged around him instantly.

Fortunately, Luo En had abundant battle experience.

In the instant he fell, he spun and scrambled up from another direction.

The curses had not anticipated Luo En's agility.

By the time they rushed forward, Luo En had already put distance between them.

But Taiyaro's situation was far worse.

Though he reacted quickly, the hand's strength clearly surpassed Taiyaro's.

It yanked Taiyaro away in an instant, dragging him rapidly.

Taiyaro swung his twin blades desperately, trying to sever the arm.

But the blades struck the arm and sparked violently—yet failed to cut it through.

"Damn it, what kind of arm is this? Why is it so hard?"

Taiyaro roared, driving his twin blades into the ground to anchor himself against the arm's pull.

But he had clearly underestimated the arm's strength.

Moments later, his blades left deep grooves carved into the floor.

He was then yanked by the arm and flung violently away.

With a thunderous crash, Taiyaro slammed into the ground.

His internal organs shifted as if displaced; his spine nearly snapped from the impact.

It took him a long while to regain consciousness, yet rising proved excruciatingly difficult.

Luo En saw Taiyaro in danger and immediately rushed to rescue him.

But before he could advance, curses blocked his path.

There were simply too many curses surrounding him now—he could not break through.

Luo En scanned the surroundings, searching for a sure strategy.

But curses surrounded him from every direction.

Breaking free now was nearly impossible.

Luo En exhausted every possible method, darting rapidly to smash through the curses ahead.

But in that instant, a terrifying force struck Luo En.

Again, that arm.

He flew in from far away and seized Luo En's ankle.

Luo En swung his fists desperately, but this time he failed to strike the arm, and instead fell to the ground.

The strength of that arm was terrifying, far stronger than ordinary curses.

Luo En still did not know where those curses originated.

As he fell, he finally saw through the gaps—this arm had shot out from inside that room.

When he first entered the room, Luo En had been attacked, and he hadn't clearly seen what was inside.

But now he understood: the room contained an even more powerful curse.

Yet why had this unknown curse entered that room?

Taiyaro shouted loudly.

"Be careful—don't let this monster grab you."

Luo En said helplessly.

"It seems we're all trapped by him."

With a boom, Luo En felt a violent shake beside him.

A tremendous force formed before him.

The arm had smashed a massive, deep crater beside him.

This immense force made Luo En's heart tighten.

Although he had already experienced the curse's power during their first clash, he hadn't thought much of it then.

Now, merely one arm made him feel utterly vexing.

Though seized by the arm, Luo En poured all his strength into his feet, channeling spell energy to injure the arm.

But the arm clearly held him fast—even after Luo En unleashed all his spell energy, it showed no sign of loosening.

This filled Luo En with immense pressure.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

Luo En couldn't help but curse aloud.

Suddenly, the curses around him began scattering.

Then a massive curse appeared before Luo En.

Luo En stared closely—it was the Lord Curse, smiling at him.

"I never expected you'd fall into my hands again, but this time, perhaps you won't be so lucky as to escape."

Luo En gave a bitter laugh.

"It seems I can't escape even if I wanted to—but how did you even find me?"
