Chapter 229 - Sword of Hegni

A gigantic dragon egg, over 5 meters tall, appeared in front of the duo.

The entire dragon egg was confined in white magic, constantly exuding a holy aura. If the dragon egg wasn’t so big, William would not have been able to see what was inside the white magic.

“Huh?” William raised his eyebrows. The magical barrier was rather powerful, and he couldn’t use his insight on the dragon egg. But he could sense that it was very dangerous.

In simple words, the strong holy aura had filled the entire treasure vault.

If not for the fact that William was in his human form, and Moses wasn’t a pure devil, the moment they opened the door, they would have been attacked by the holy light.

“Can you bypass the barrier?” the prince turned around and asked.

“Sure. There are no Grand Mages among the Moonlight Elves. This is just a magical barrier created by a Legendary mage. I can give it a try. After all, no matter how strong magic is, it will have a weakness.” Moses confidently replied.

Actually, even if it had been Grand Mage-level magic and curses, it still would not be a problem for him.

It would be just a matter of time.

However, it was evident that Moses could not remove a magical barrier set by a Grand Mage within a short amount of time.

The difference between a Legendary mage and a Grand Mage was the same as that between a normal player and a VIP player.

But what puzzled Moses the most was that this magical barrier was not merely a seal. The white light also had a transformation and a purification effect.

“No, this purification effect affects the entire treasure vault.”

“This is rather interesting. Are the Moonlight Elves trying to turn a Dark Dragon into their pet?” Moses murmured and glanced at a black longsword on the shelf filled with swords.

William seemed to have realized something and gave Moses a thumbs-up. In his eyes, Moses became awesome, that guy was pretty smart.

“Is that a trap?” he pointed at the longsword and asked.

“No. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t go near those illusionary luminescent doors. That’s a pathway to alternate dimensions, which is certainly dangerous.” Moses wasn’t in a rush. He would take what he could get.

As for his own curse.

Even if he couldn’t find anything that could help to break his curse, he could just rely on time.

And since there was a dragon egg in front of him, there was no reason he shouldn’t take it.

Besides, if he raised the dragon and killed it at the right time, he could get a dragon crystal…

The dragon egg was 5 meters tall.

Just from its size, one could tell that this dragon egg hid immense potential. The dragon who laid this egg must have had a big butt too.

Moses continued to cast magic that others couldn’t comprehend.

William walked towards the longsword that exuded a deadly aura!

At that split second, he seemed to have recognized this longsword…

“The precursor of the Wailing Sword.” William’s eyes widened. Yes, this was absolutely the precursor of the Wailing Sword.

In his previous life, Cronus had summoned the King of Darkness out to help before he was beaten up by the three sages.

In the end, he used the blood and souls of millions of Moonlight Elves to cast the Wailing Sword!

Previously, William had no way of knowing if the Wailing Sword had a precursor.

However, the moment he saw this longsword, he knew that it was definitely the precursor of the Wailing Sword.

“This must be a Dark weapon…” The prince rubbed his hands. There was nothing to be scared of. After all, this wasn’t the real Wailing Sword, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

Nonetheless, it was better for William to be careful. He activated his battle energy shield. He used his left hand of Thunder God to reach for the longsword, and at the same time, his right hand placed a bottle of Life Potion at his lips.

If anything happened, he would just drink it!

The Life Potion was expensive, but it only served its purpose when it was consumed.

No matter how powerful this longsword was, it couldn’t be a Holy Weapon!

It was even more impossible that it was a godly weapon.

It was probably just a Legendary weapon.

His recovery speed would be faster than the rate at which he lost Health Points. Therefore…

Bang!

William angrily smashed the statue of Lady Luck as a sacrifice.

Moses’s mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

Just when William grabbed the black longsword’s scabbard.

Buzz!

William felt his soul tremble. It was as if his body was placed in a freezer. He hadn’t felt cold in a long time ever since he became a professional.

It was because he lived in the subtropics…

“That was really cold. I felt like I went to the North Pole.” William shivered. He didn’t feel much sensation in his Left Hand Of God, his left arm just felt a little chilly.

He looked at the information panel.

“D*mn!”

(Prompt: You have been cursed by the ‘Sword of Hegni’)

(Prompt: You have become the owner of the ‘Sword of Hegni’]

[Prompt: You and the ‘Sword of Hegni’ will be inseparable until you die. It will bring you endless misfortune and disaster]

[Prompt: You have 1 Luck point, the curse cannot take effect]

“…” William looked at the information panel with an expressionless face. Suddenly, he started laughing out loud like a silly idiot. “Hahahaha…”

“Are you kidding me?” The prince was left speechless. He hadn’t expected this longsword to be the ‘Sword of Hegni’, nor had he expected this Legendary cursed sword to be hidden in the elves’ treasure vault. He had only seen some records of this sword in some libraries.

This Dark sword would bring endless misfortune and disaster to anyone who wielded it. It was the reason why many who liked it didn’t dare to take it. It was no wonder it had been casually placed here without any magical barrier to protect it. After all, no one dared to touch it.

However, this curse had no effect on him!

He had already pissed off Lady Bad Luck. How could a mere cursed sword be worse than the wrath of Lady Bad Luck?

So what if the curse was powerful?

His Luck points couldn’t go any lower than 1.

It couldn’t be that his Luck points could become negative?

Moses glanced at him. “It seems quite suitable for you. Actually, it’s suitable for me too, but I don’t like to use longswords.”

“…” William didn’t want to diss him. Both of them only had 1 Luck point each.

Indeed, this cursed sword was rather suitable for them. It was no wonder that Moses didn’t stop him from touching this longsword.

“Let’s look at its attributes first.” William touched his chin.

“Oh, thanks for the reminder.” William grinned. However, just as he was about to pull the longsword out from its scabbard.

A terrifying aura came from midair.

Moses was stunned. He didn’t think such a worthless sword would attract attention.

He waved his hand and forcibly destroyed the dragon egg’s magical barrier. He kept the dragon egg in his space ring, and then he grabbed William and drilled into the ground.

Cronus, who had just torn open a spatial rift, was enraged!

However, a sage was chasing behind him. As of just now, both of them were having a thrilling battle in another alternate dimension…

This coward ran away in the middle of their battle?

Where was his respect for the elderly?

“Grandson, why are you running?” The old elf sage stopped Cronus from chasing the thieves. He had sensed something happened.

Even though Cronus had succumbed to the Dark side, his memories were still intact. He glanced at the direction the thieves ran off in. They had disappeared without a trace. After that, he looked at the old dude behind him but didn’t speak.

This sage was a Great Elder of the Moonlight Elves!

It was the previous Elven King, his grandfather…

Was he scolding him? While also calling him his grandson?
