CH 365

The curses are as black as a dark night. Their presence alone makes the room itself feel dark.

They were held in by the 《Seal Curse》 magic circuit embedded in the glove, but now they are spilling out and overflowing like a black wave.

But among the darkness, I can see sparkling things spread out uniformly.

They are magic elements.

My magic elements have merged into the curses, serving as the starting point of this transmutation.

“《Fixate》, 《Fixate》, 《Fixate》.”

Some of the scrolls hovering around me react to my words.

This activates the magic circuits in the 《Fixate》 scrolls, and the curses spreading and about to encroach on everything around me stop. I actually fixated the magic elements in the curses, which stops the curses themselves.

Having said that, it feels like they are still about to blow. Curses are still jiggling and trying to spread, like formless slime trying to expand and eat what’s around it.

Still, I succeeded in stopping the curses temporarily.

“《Release Limits》 target scroll, 《Release》. Constraints of gravity.”

I take advantage of this time to activate another scroll. A scroll to remove the limits of the 《Release》 scroll.

This gravity manipulating limitation is placed to do minute control. Lifting it allows for the use of the 《Overweight》 effect, and the curses still writhing and trying to spread are pushed in by the 《Overweight》 effect.

I adjust the direction of the forces just a little bit, so that the curses that are gradually shrinking back gyrate.

“I guess they’re being held back, but with a lot of resistance.

It really feels like they’re pushing back hard, to the point where it feels like they might overpower me.

I frown while looking at the curses, but there’s no sign that the situation will improve. Oh well, I was prepared to spend resources when I started, so I remove the limits on another 《Release》 scroll, and put pressure on the curses with two scrolls. I’m not going to be able to try this again if I fail here anyway.

The 《Overweight》 effect placed by two scrolls begins to suddenly shape the curses.

They were wriggling like slime, but slowly rotate, until they change into a ball with a diameter about the same as my height.

“Good good. Now it’s going well. Now I should throw in the gold nugget and dragon spring stone at the same time.”

Gold symbolizes alchemy itself, and the dragon spring stone symbolizes dragons.

The relationship between these two things and curses isn’t clear to me yet, meaning even I can’t say exactly what’s going to happen. Not to mention that this process is hidden in the coronation ceremony of royalty, also known as old blood, to pass down the right to wear the crown. And Seilook’s memories, which according to god’s oracle will destroy curses.

All of those things are just fragments, but they point to this. I have a hunch that there’s a meaning to it.

And so, I follow this hunch and throw the gold nugget and the dragon spring stone into the whirling ball.
