Capítulo 781: Chapter D280: Quiet Return, Again (Part 3)
A single setback only makes them realize their own shortcomings, further solidifying their direction.
‘Instead of worrying about others, why not think about how ignorant you are, not even knowing where the national border is, yet wanting to see the world?’
A voice of indiscernible gender echoed in the hero’s ear, with mocking expressions appearing before their eyes.
‘As small as you are, even if you step out, what can you achieve?’
An unpleasant sensation rose from the ankle, as if a bony hand from a decaying undead forcefully gripped, filled with animosity toward the living, causing their steps to beco heavy.
The bracelet’s light dimd too, as though tightly clenched, pulling backward.
‘Stop, just stop here – you shouldn’t proceed any further.’

“It seems you aren’t very keen on persuading .”
What flooded the ears were either aningless insults or venomous derision.
The curse from the Legacy of Liberation was so straightforward, the hero was instead relieved.
Despite those insults and laughter being harsh to the ears, to the hero, who could perceive malice within human hearts, these ceaseless targeted attacks faintly revealed an unreal aura.
As the hero remained unwavering, the phantom sounds beside them gradually subsided, replaced by an ever-increasing pressure applied on the golden bracelet around their wrist.
“Well then, let’s have a tug-of-war.” The hero blinked, clenching both fists.
“Though I’m not very skilled, I won’t admit defeat.”

Though not formally trained or practiced, after nurous battles, the hero instinctively understood their strengths and weaknesses.
They excelled at mobilizing their whole body, unleashing an astonishing power in a single burst, yet not good at enduring contests of strength.
Human energy is limited; every profession has its prioritized attributes, and whether mage or martial monk, strength isn’t prioritized.
The hero didn’t think so lack of strength was inconvenient, as dealing with goblins posed no issue.
Now, they backhanded a fist, tightly grasping the slightly torn bracelet, engaging in a tug-of-war with the invisible curse power in the darkness.
Despite the slight tremor of their arm, the small face flushed from clenching teeth, their crouching body remained steadfast, not being moved a step.
Recordings of the Liberation Saintess describe her as a gentle, universally loving saintess, but a deeper investigation into those sealed records would reveal her gentleness was only shown to those worthy of such treatnt.
In the long struggle against slavery, she preferred resolving issues at the negotiating table. As long as the other party adhered to rules, she’d never break her word.
Yet if the other party was treacherous… the “Liberation” nad ruin would descend rcilessly, obliterating them completely.
During the campaign against the Curse Absorption Demon, though the Liberation Saintess was defeated and perished, her efforts weren’t fruitless.
It’s said she died drenched in blood, her body deeply embedded within the Great Demon’s shattered shell. Imagine the intensity of that battle. Her remains beca inseparable from the curse power, forming the furious curse force the hero faced now.
Yet, under such rough tugging, even though the hero’s oath-turned-shackle flickered and wavered, it showed no signs of shattering and apparently could still hold up.
