Chapter 763 Managing Emotions
The Undead Pharaoh was dead, and the energy influx nearly killed Michael as it reached him.
Michael was fortunate that Archangel's Grace and True Extraction were still active. He used Extraction to drain bits of the energy influx and Insert to insert it into Archangel's Grace before using the Heavenly Realm Soul Technique to recuperate faster from his injuries.
It didn't take long to heal Michael to the peak, but he wasn't in perfect condition even after the effect of Archangel's Grace deteriorated.
His vision was still hazy, and he stumbled around the throne hall with unsteady steps. Nonetheless, Michael was alive and not on the verge of death anymore. With enough time, he would be fine. That was all that mattered.
"What are we going to do now? The Curse is dead," Michael asked, only to see a large serpent and a Wolf Head lean over the Undead Pharaoh's body.
[The Curse's vessel was destroyed, but the Curse is still there. We'll exorcise him for you.] The World Serpent explained, and the Wolf Curse growled in agreement.
"I doubt that you are doing this for me. If anything, you are doing this to strengthen your body after whatever happened to you before you emerged from my Summoning Gate. The Wolf is also doing this to loosen the restrictions on the Cursed Seals. But whatever. Continue absorb the Curse. I'm only alive because you two decided to help me."
Michael was about to say more when he sensed something deep inside him. He frowned deeply and felt a surge of annoyance spread through him. Usually, he wouldn't be that annoyed, but his emotions were stronger than normal. Even though Michael had expected that he felt weird nonetheless.
Everything felt more intense than it used to be.
'Using the Wicked Spear Arts once was enough to affect me this much. But it was worth it. I would rather have the Wicked Spear Arts affect me than allow something sentient to take over my body and potentially alter it.'
The Wolf Curse growled deeply. Even the Wolf Head looked up from the Undead Pharaoh's body to glare at Michael.
"That's nothing against you. Well, it is, but that's your fault. You should have been nicer from the beginning. You tried to steal my body from the beginning, only to turn into a lovely puppy after we exorcised Danny's weakened Curse. That's suspicious, you know?!" Michael excused his actions, only to receive a snort from the Wolf Curse as a response. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
He felt a pang of guilt and frustration erupt from the depths of his being and frowned deeply. He was on the verge of begging the Wolf Curse for forgiveness.
The Staff of Epos caused him some trouble, but an Ancient Artifact contained a tremendous amount of curse power. If he could give it to the World Serpent and Wolf Curse to devour once he ascended to a Higher Lifeform, they could grow stronger together quickly.
[The Staff disappeared.]
"Hmm? How did that happen?" Michael groaned, feeling like throwing some stones at the World Serpent for losing the Staff of Epos.
Was the World Serpent powerful and wise, or was that just a farce? How could it lose the Ancient Artifact?
[The Ancient Artifact was pulled away from me when the Undead Pharaoh ceased to exist.]
"Just like that?" Michael frowned, "Did you even try to keep the Staff? I anticipated you to be stronger,"
[Mind your words, puny child. You better control your emotions, or I will forcefully beat some manners into you. Beating the shit out of brats is something I'm very good at!]
The Wolf Curse seemed to agree. However, instead of growling at Michael, it did something entirely different.
The Wolf Curse suddenly expanded within Michael. He couldn't even react in time because he was too busy scolding the World Serpent and managing his chaotic emotions.
One moment, the Wolf Curse spread through his entire being, and the next moment, Michael noticed that the Wolf Curse did something to him.
The anger and frustration that had filled him until a moment ago seemed to affect him less.
The Wolf Curse devoured some of Michael's excessive emotions.
Was that a peace offer?
