Chapter 31: Reminiscence of the Forbidden World, cleared!

I’m her husband, okay?
Deya cursed in his heart.

His body was still restrained by the 'Human Immobilization Technique' and he couldn't even move a finger.

He glanced to the side with his eyes which were still able to move.

Dozens of lifelike dolls were placed on the edge of this wide platform, and one of the female dolls suddenly moved.

The doll was beautiful and wore a maid outfit. It was the doll that Deya had seen in the cafeteria before.

But no matter the doll's expression or tone of voice, it proves that she is Abel Duval!
"This is...are you actually a woman? Is this man just someone else you control?"

Deya's eyes moved downwards and looked at Abel Duval who was lying on the ground breathless.

"No, my current body is just a puppet. What you just sacrificed was my own self."

"How could that be? I clearly saw the soul in that body being sacrificed as well!"

Although Deya was only an apprentice wizard, he had learned the spells of the School of Necromancer, so he could be sure that the dead man just now had a soul.

But since the souls have been sacrificed, why is Abel Duval still alive!

“This is just a soul separation technique. Although the process is painful, and after losing half of my soul, my strength will be greatly reduced.

But there is an advantage to this. Just like the lich, as long as half of my soul still exists and is preserved in the doll, I will not truly die. It seems that I was right to keep a hand."

The beautiful doll came in front of Deya, and Abel Duval exclaimed: "Although you are only an apprentice wizard, your talent, your ability, and your wisdom really make me want to accept you as my disciple.

I am a little envious of your teacher. To have an excellent disciple like you is the dream of all mages. One of the most important missions of a mage is to pass on the knowledge.

But I'm jealous of you, why can you learn Enochian, but I can't learn it at all!"

Abel Duval's expression suddenly became distorted, and that handsome face was filled with ugly jealousy.

It seems that the split soul has a significant impact on him.

"You don't know Enochian? Then how did you set up this ritual site... Wait, is this the 'Blood Curse'?"

Based on Abel Duval's wife and children, Deya thought of a forbidden spell - the blood curse!
The blood curse is said to be a curse bestowed upon mortals by the gods, cursing those who kill their closest relatives and their own children.

After being cursed, a person's body and soul will quickly decay and eventually perish completely.

This is essentially a pure curse, but in the past there was a wizard who turned the curse into a ritual spell.

After using this spell, the curse can be utilized for a short period of time, transforming it into powerful force, but the curse will not disappear and will still cause the soul and body of the cursed person to decay.

Thinking of Abel Duval's dead wife and children, Deya understood that he used this curse to increase his "basic attributes" so that he met the requirements for learning Enochian!

"You guessed it right. The body I am using now is my ex-wife. The reason I gave birth to a child with her was also to use this curse."

After hearing the "blood curse", Abel Duval seemed to have been turned on, and he said something chilling without a care in the world.

Then your soul and body should have decayed long ago?

Deya looked puzzled.

Seeing Deya's doubts, Abel Duval pointed at the wooden box on the altar and said with a grim expression, "Yes, I am cursed, my soul is being corroded, and my body is dissipating.

This curse is difficult to lift, but as long as I obtain that creation of God and occupy its body, I can borrow God’s authority to lift the curse.

Gods can curse mortals at will, but they will not be affected by the curses, so I will use curses to pollute them!"

[Abel Duval used the 0-level spell 'Acid Splash']

Abel Duval flicked his finger and a small ball of strong acid flew out and landed on Deya's mouth.

"Zizi..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

The severe pain made Deya let out a "wuuuu" sound. The strong acid corroded his mouth and tongue, making him completely lose the ability to speak.

Abel Duval didn't use more powerful spells because he was afraid that the spells would be too powerful and kill Deya in one go.

"I've said enough. I'm even a little afraid of your mouth now. Now that you've completely lost the ability to speak, it's time to end it!"

While Abel Duval was speaking, he had already prepared a new sacrifice. He stood in front of Deya again and recited the words of the god of sacrifice once again: "Lord of the Night, Queen of the Dead..."

Listening to Abel Duval's declaration, Deya was unable to move or speak. No matter how he looked at it, he was doomed to die.

Deya found that he did not feel much anger or regret in his heart at this time.

Instead, he was extremely calm and quickly thought about all the known information he had obtained. Even if it was a situation where death was inevitable, he had to find a way out!

Even if there is only a one percent chance of winning, he must hold on to it!
Wait!
I know, I know...

Deya's mind moved——

[You used the 0-level spell 'Hand of the Mage']

At this moment, Abel Duval's sacrifice ceremony came to an abrupt end.

He seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak, and his face showed panic.

"What happened? Where is the Enochian language I learned? Why did I forget all my memories of Enochian language?"

He looked at Deya with anger, and instinctively knew that all this was done by Deya, but what exactly did he do!
At this time, Deya was able to move, and the "Human Immobilization Spell" had lost its effect.

On this platform, only those who can use the Enochian language (Dark Moon) can retain their power, and those who cannot use it will lose all their abilities!
Deya pointed to the side.

Abel Duval looked in the direction his finger pointed, and the scene before him made him tear his eyes out.

A transparent hand appeared in the grave of thousands of people and moved the body of a child.

Deya's mouth was completely corroded, and he could not mock with words, but the mockery in his eyes made Abel Duval almost collapse from shame and anger!
Abel Duval said that he used the blood curse to speak Enochian.

His wife's body was the puppet he used, so where was his daughter?

His daughter was easy to find because among the tens of thousands of dead bodies, Deya noticed when he came in that there was only one little child.

The blood curse is a ritual spell, and Deya used the wizard's hand to move his daughter's body, and the ritual was naturally broken!

Deya's Hand of the Mage level is Lv.Max, which means he can use it without the need for language or any casting action.

Although it is only a 0th-level spell, it can kill an 8th-level mage under special circumstances!
This made Deya suddenly think of a sentence: There are no useless spells, only useless mages!

Abel Duval's expression changed and he quickly ran towards the corpse, trying to move it back to its original place.

As long as the ceremony is started again, he still has a chance!
[You used the 0-level spell 'Arrow Spell']

"Pfft-"

An invisible arrow flew out from Deya's fingers and instantly pierced through the chest of Abel Duval, who had lost all his strength, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Even the puppet-like body is fragile on this altar.

Deya slowly walked up to Abel Duval, looking down at the puppeteer lying on the ground unable to move. Seeing the other party's angry and desperate expression, he pointed his right index finger at him again.

At this time, Deya's mouth was corroded and his face was disfigured, but he used his eyes to convey to Abel Duval what he had said before: "Meet your fate!"

[You used the 0-level spell 'Arrow Spell']

The invisible arrow flew out again, and at a very close distance, pierced Abel Duval's head in front of his unwilling eyes.

Abel Duval opened his mouth, his eyes dimmed, and he completely lost his breath of life.

With his death, the sacrifice that was interrupted midway began to backfire.

The violent gale once again appeared on the rooftop. Deya let his clothes rustle in the wind and looked at the wooden box on the altar.

[Hidden Mission: Stop Abel Duval's Conspiracy (Completed)]

[World Remembrance Ends (Rare Items), Mission Rewards Calculated——]

The wooden box on the altar slowly opened with a "click" sound, and Deya's body gradually disappeared on the highest platform of the temple.

In the gray sky, there is a pair of eyes, watching this scene quietly.
