Chapter 384: Correctional Institute Or Concentration Camps
“Let’s try one with a curse core,” Ace said, wondering what kind of form a cursed incarnation made using a curse core as a dium would look like.
Seeing her little bro pass her mortal-tier curse core belonging to the hideous worm-shaped curseling she turned into a curse spirit earlier, Lyra thundered, “No way, get that thing away from .”
By sharing thoughts and mories with Futsu and Fujin, Lyra had learned that the origin of the dium she was using to craft her cursed incarnations heavily influenced their form. Therefore, she would rather die than use the curse core of the Rust Worm curseling to craft one of her cursed incarnations. She already had a manly and loli version of herself; she did not want to add a worm form to her collection. She didn’t even want to picture it, too late, her comic artist brain had already generated a half-dozen rough ntal sketches. They were hideous but badass. However, not badass enough for her to change her mind.
Ace shook his head in disappointnt, thinking, ‘When it’s a matter of life and death, aesthetics doesn’t matter.’
However, he did not tell that to his big sis, knowing it would be easier for her to rember it if she learn it if she experienced it instead of him telling her. The more he talked with her, the more he felt his decision to use Sonia as a whetstone to sharpen his sister for the ‘World of Curses’ was the right one.
Therefore, he decided to stop the experintation for now, let Lyra explore her innate curse tool and art by herself now that she understood them and was comfortable using them to a certain extent.
“Ace, I am feeling lightheaded,” Lyra weakly inford her brother, suddenly leaning on the decorative column beside her while the Wakizashi-shaped curse tools in her hands vanished from her hands.
“Ah, you finally hit your curse energy limit,” Ace said as he carried a couch and set it down for his sister to rest on while consoling her, adding, “You have impressive curse energy reserves for a newbie.”
Lyra used Vyasa’s womb thrice and her innate curse arts twice in a short span, and then applied her innate curse abilities to master the curse tools Futsu and Fujin. This alone was enough to prove that Lyra’s curse energy limit was top tier for a newbie curse master.
Trying to help his sister beco a full-fledged curse master, Ace had begun to realize how easy and simple the Statas Screen innate curse art had made his life as curse master when compared to other curse masters. Therefore, he couldn’t help but take a mont to appreciate his innate curse art.
“Is it like MP in RPG gas?” Lyra asked with a pale complexion, applying her gar knowledge. She found that ‘World of Curses’ was too eerie and gothic for her taste. Therefore, she tried to use the video ga genre to make it suit her taste.
“Yes, and the best way to replenish curse energy is by syphoning curse energy from curse cores. If you do the sa on the full bar, then you can increase your curse energy limit bit by bit and advance to a higher tier. This is why curse users risk their lives to fight Curselings. I have created detailed videos on all and stored them on this device. It’s your cursed smartphone, a cursed gadget. It’s the sa as a regular smartphone, but it runs on curse energy, so it has incredible battery life, and uses your curse energy signature to unlock and operate. Giving you the maximum digital security one can achieve for now,” Ace explained, passing her the Rust worm curse core and cursed smartphone.
However, to his surprise, Lyra’s cheeks had regained their rosy complexion, and she was erect, collecting the curse core and the cursed smartphone from him.
Seeing her baby bro’s astonished expression, Lyra had a satisfied smile as she explained, “I can share the curse energy from cursed carnations to replenish myself. They told that since they were curse spirits too, they had a very high curse energy recovery rate even in a place like this one. Awe, man ain’t that a life saver.”
Seeing, Lyra fed the curse core to Vyasa’s womb, Ace asked, “What are you doing? I thought you did not want a worm version of yourself.”
“No, little bro. The curse core will be used by Fujin and Futsu, engraved on Vyasa’s Womb. I can just share curse energy from them to replenish my curse energy reserves. It’s a lot faster and simpler this way,” Lyra answered, and then with a smirk, she asked, “Jealous?”
In the face of this comnt, Ace shook his head with a smirk. Seeing her baby bro smirk at her, Lyra realized she had no clue what actually her baby bro’s curse abilities its. He claid it was related to space storage, but he was capable of a lot more things than he let on. Then, recalling his first rule, she realized he was lying and wouldn’t get a straight answer from him even if she were to emotionally blackmail him.
She knew the limits of her super aweso ultimate trick, which was why she remained undefeated into her mid-twenties. As the saying goes, a wise general knows when to advance and when to retreat. But she did not give up on the idea of learning about her brother’s innate curse tool and art one day.
“It seems you have everything under control. Off you go. Just make sure to control your newfound prowess. I don’t want to hear you killing one of our relatives or neighbors because you were moody or drunk, got it? Otherwise, they will force you into a correctional facility for low-risk curse criminals and force you to fight Curselings to pay off your tuition fee and recomnded fine. I can pay the fine and fee for you, but its still a shitty place for anyone to be in as its basically a governnt proved concentration camps to train and brainwash clueless curse users into obedient curse soldiers. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s worse than prison,” Ace warned his big sis while trusting her to explore curse abilities on her own.
He wasn’t lying about the governnt-approved correctional facility being worse than prisons to scare Lyra. He was speaking the truth. It had to be because their prisoners were not ordinary humans but mainly curse users with lethal curse abilities and above-average curse energy aptitude. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to kill innocent bystanders by losing control.
“Don’t worry, I will be careful,” Lyra said, erasing her plan to leave the wood place and head to the room to test her curse abilities in it’s privacy. Then, she warned baby bro, “Ace, don’t you dare use your authority over Wood Palace to spy on . I’m warning you.”
“Don’t worry, I can’t. The Wood Palace is not within my ability. Also, think of a perfect fake explanation for your curse abilities because we will need to register it with the C.I.B.’s local governnt branch. I am thinking of going with self-cloning and hive-type abilities, but if you can think of sothing better, let’s go with that one,” Ace inford his sister.
Listening to him, Lyra was shell-shocked and soon exclaid, “We have to register our curse abilities with the governnt!”
“Yep!”
