Capítulo 1211: Chapter 1209: I Won’t Fall in Love, Not Even If I Die!
The rest of the team followed Moli’s gaze toward the direction in which the giant rat fled, and suddenly understood the unfinished aning behind Moli’s half-spoken sentence.
There, they saw a massive fireball, tens of ters in diater, suddenly rise into the sky in the distance, exploding with a trendous sound. The continuous booming sound echoed over— the giant rat, in its panicked escape, stumbled into sothing unknown, successfully triggering a chain reaction.
The fireball and explosions were just the beginning. Next, a thick current of electricity, as thick as a barrel, slithered into the sky like a giant python, writhing violently.
After the electric current disappeared, lasting over ten seconds, continuous golden beams arose from even further away; even at such a distance, everyone could feel the heart-pounding dangerous energy waves.
Subsequently, a nearly ten-ter-diater energy orb ascended, dragging a fiery tail into the sky, and exploded with a roar when it reached nearly a hundred ters high.
“Wow!”
It was as if a giant firework had exploded, with nurous “Mars,” resembling teors, falling in all directions. One was even falling towards their location.
They watched as an energy orb, the size of a human head, whizzed through the air, landing on the ground, creating a crater several ters deep.
Such force, if it hit soone, would cause serious injuries, even if not fatal. And if the original energy orb had hit them, they would have been incinerated without a trace.
Everyone realized this, and their expressions beca uncertain, looking towards the direction the giant rat had fled, their faces growing more unsettled.
The chain reaction caused by the giant rat was far from over. As ti passed, one area after another beca active, and the ground began to tremble, with more and more energy erupting in different forms. Looking around, the entire sky seed to be filled with colorful hues, as if celebrating— but those were dangerous colors.
Moli spoke up to the team, “Now you know, don’t you? If you dare chase after the giant rat into unknown territory without intelligence, it’s not a matter of whether we can retrieve the Energy Furnace, it’s a matter of how many of us will still be alive a minute later.”
“One-eyed” nodded blankly and then hesitated before speaking, “But Captain, we must obtain the Energy Furnace. If we don’t chase the rat, what will we do? Surely we can’t… just abandon all our plans, can we?”
“Of course, we can’t abandon the plan.” Moli said solemnly, her face darkening slightly, “But exactly how to retrieve the Energy Furnace, I’m still pondering— considering a reasonable thod— after all, that damned rat won’t co running back on its own, it won’t voluntarily return the Energy Furnace to us!”
“Actually, I have an idea.” Xizhe, beside them, coughed a few tis.
“Hm?” Everyone’s eyes imdiately focused on Xizhe.
Moli frowned and asked, “Mr. Xizhe, what are you planning?”
“It’s quite simple, just use the thod we used earlier, again.” Xizhe said slowly.
“Again?” Moli was montarily stunned, “Do you an… a curse?”
“Yes.” Xizhe nodded, “A curse.”
Moli frowned deeply, “Mr. Xizhe, setting aside how to lure the fleeing rat back, just casting the curse again, can your body handle it? I’m well aware of the curse’s side effects, no need to hide it from . Using it once is already risky enough, but using it twice, I’m afraid you won’t be able to endure…”
“My Captain, don’t underestimate this old man.” Xizhe chuckled lightly, “I’m a bit stronger than you think. Even if I cast the curse consecutively, I won’t die within the ruins, at most I’ll suffer a serious illness after leaving.”
“But even so, the fleeing rat won’t return, will it?”
“It will.” Xizhe replied, “However… when it returns, it will be in a frenzied state, more dangerous than before by several degrees, and it won’t flee, only thinking of fighting to the last mont. Therefore, you’ll be under imnse pressure to stop it, so be prepared.”
“Are you kidding, Mr. Xizhe?” “One-eyed” spoke out in disbelief, looking at Xizhe, “That rat isn’t trained by you, and you’re not ‘Wood.’ You can’t plant a mind-controlling seed in it, why would it listen to you?”
“Because of love.” Xizhe spoke eerily, his words leaving everyone present stunned.
What on earth? Love? Between a human and a rat? In these ruins?
This…
Sweeping his gaze over everyone, Xizhe was quite satisfied with the effect he had caused, laughing like a mischievous old child: “Haha, haha…”
Then ca a bout of coughing: “Cough cough cough… cough cough cough!”
After quite a while, he stopped coughing, pressed his lips together, took a deep breath, and explained, “Actually, the situation isn’t as complicated as you think, my confidence in making the escaped giant rat return is solely due to the spell I added as it fled.”
“One-eyed” recalled the pink light Xizhe emitted, suspiciously, “Wasn’t that an ordinary energy magic spell, and besides… it didn’t seem to work.”
“That was certainly not an energy magic spell.” Xizhe corrected, “It was the Aphroditic Curse!”
“Aphroditic Curse?” Almost everyone listened with so confusion, including Moli.
Richard’s eyes lit up; he thought the na seed familiar, as if he’d seen it in the Truth Society’s archives.
Could it be that… no way… Richard pondered, his expression growing stranger.
Xizhe spoke, “The Aphroditic Curse has another na, known as the Love God Spell.”
Richard raised an eyebrow, confirming in his heart that it was indeed the spell he thought, making his expression even more peculiar.
Xizhe continued, “The effect of the Love God Curse, as its na suggests, successfully incites an insuppressible love in a wise being for another being. This love is so intense that it can drive the cursed person insane, making them do crazy things.”
“Then Mr. Xizhe you…” Hearing this, everyone looked at Xizhe with flickering eyes, about to speak, “Mr. Xizhe, you haven’t… made that giant rat fall in love with you, have you?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Phew—” Everyone sighed in relief, relaxing slightly, but then tensed up again upon hearing Xizhe’s following words.
Xizhe said, “Casting the Love God Curse involves two steps: earlier, I only cast the first step on the beast, making it fall in love— the second step makes that beast love a particular being. I’m still preparing. I could certainly use myself as the second step’s casting target, but I could also choose one of you.”
“Wow!”
Hearing Xizhe’s words, everyone instantly scattered as if struck by electricity, looking at Xizhe with indescribable terror, like they were seeing a living demon.
The expressions on their faces, their movents, every cell in their bodies seed to scream a firm declaration: I… I refuse to fall in love with a rat, especially one over twenty ters tall!
No, absolutely not, I’d rather die!
