Chapter 663

Luo En furrowed his brows; he had no desire to see this state, yet he could feel that launching a hasty assault now would be extremely rash.

"I admit your plan is effective, but it could very well lead to our total annihilation. Our warriors are not strong—they may be easily killed by these curses. Therefore, I believe we should not lightly wage war against them unless absolutely desperate."

Taiyiro nearly shouted.

"Are you planning to join the curses' side now? Look at everything they've done—don't you feel any anger? They've killed so many people and abandoned their bodies carelessly—is this something a human could do? Yet now you're stopping us from waging war—what are your true intentions?"

Luo En never imagined Taiyiro would now shout at him like this; it was clear Taiyiro was furious, agitated, his whole body trembling.

This wasn't just because those people died at the curses' hands—it was also because Luo En opposed his will, and Luo En had no intention of charging the curses, which filled Taiyiro with rage.

Luo En said.

"I'm not planning to compromise with them—I want to understand the current situation. What exactly is going on? Only by uncovering the truth can we make the right decision."

As he spoke, Luo En began walking toward that direction, but Taiyiro suddenly stepped in front of him, drawing his twin blades and pointing them at Luo En.

"If you insist on going, then fight me to the death."

Luo En stared at Taiyiro in surprise.

"Why are you doing this? Is understanding the truth really so repulsive to you?"

Taiyiro shouted angrily.

"The truth is right before your eyes—what more truth do you want? Don't you trust your own eyes? Or don't you trust me?"

As he spoke, he reversed his blades; now one could feel the sharpness radiating from him—if Luo En insisted on going, he would strike Luo En.

Luo En was bewildered—why had Taiyiro suddenly become like this? Though the corpses on the ground made Luo En understand Taiyiro's anger.

But launching a reckless attack before understanding the truth would only cause more deaths on their side.

Luo En knew the people they could mobilize were no match for the curses; a hasty strike would likely cause heavy losses and achieve nothing.

What Luo En intended, of course, was to first investigate the truth thoroughly before deciding—this was no time for impulsive actions. Their strength was already far weaker, but Taiyiro's behavior was now dragging them straight into a firepit.

At that moment, Luo En suddenly moved—before Taiyiro could react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground; Luo En had knocked him out in an instant.

He immediately lifted Taiyiro, carried him into the room, and left him to rest, then set off alone toward the curses' castle.

When the woman saw Luo En, she was greatly surprised—Luo En had only just left, how had he returned so soon?

She smiled at Luo En.

"Do you have something else you need?"

Luo En shook his head.

"I just find your place very comfortable—I'd like to stay here a while longer."
