Chapter 3046 Blood Curse

Although Doakes' 'bet' was slapped in the face, his words were not wrong.

Just like the first time they met Human Face Pattern, as long as they agreed to participate in the game, they would be pulled into the contract; similarly, it is the same this time, if they really agreed to undergo qualification certification, then they would definitely Will force entry into the contract.

Therefore, "ignoring the human face tattoo statue" as they had done before was indeed their only choice.

What I didn't expect was that this statue with a human face pattern would be so reckless and actually dare to take action.

However, it’s better to do it.

They didn't dare to touch the human face statue because they were afraid of being dragged into the contract. But if the other party takes the initiative, then they don't have to worry about it, they can just let it go.

"Do you think the human face tattoo statue is too reckless?" Doakes: "No, it is not reckless, it has its own purpose."

"Purpose?" Kael looked at Doakes doubtfully.

Doakes: "I was a little surprised at first. Under normal circumstances, taking action is asking for death. It shouldn't take action against us. However, when I broke the statue, I figured it out."

"It attacks us for two purposes."

"First, the space wizard behind it needs to finally get a definite answer: Do we know the specific terms of the contract?"

Although the other party used a small mole to test it at the beginning, it was guessed that they might understand some of the conditions of the contract.

But at that time, they only showed that they knew the contract condition of "not actively attacking the little mole to avoid entering the contract."

And the human facial pattern uses words to trick people into signing a contract. The other party is not sure whether they know this condition.

Therefore, the wizards behind the Paradise Game still have a "what if" attitude, and finally want to confirm their understanding of the contract.

In their view, this may be a bit unnecessary. But this is because they are the parties involved, so they naturally enter the information cocoon and look at the problem completely from their own perspective.

If you look at it from the other party's perspective, all this is actually not completely clear yet. Even if a certain result occurs, how does the result appear? There are also fogs that need to be cleared away.

Judging from the current situation, the other party must have preset two possibilities.

The first is to speculate that they are aware of the contract, but only know part of the conditions of the contract. The reason why they pushed it all the way to this point is that Angel's spatial attainments are extremely high, so high that he can ignore all external factors, including facial patterns.

The second type is that they are very clear about all the conditions of the contract, and they also know the significance of the human face pattern, and deliberately avoid it.

In order to confirm which one they are, the wizard behind Paradise Game carefully arranged a human-faced statue here just to make the final confirmation.

If they ignored facial prints like they did before, it would most likely be the second case.

But no matter how high the probability is, it cannot be completely certain. Therefore, the opponent had a second plan: to attack them with facial tattoo statues.

The human face pattern statue is actually not very strong. Its spiritual power was lost when it was first condensed, and both Angel and Doakes discovered it.

According to the normal development of the plot, when they saw the human face pattern statue concentrating mental power and aiming the arrow at them, they were fully capable of breaking it in advance. Even if you don't break it, you can easily avoid arrows missing.

But they chose an abnormal plot development: Doakes was hit by an arrow.

A small mental arrow missed, it shouldn't have hit Doakes anyway, but it happened to hit him. Then the answer is very clear, Doakes took the initiative to hit the arrow.

Why did they take the initiative to be hit by arrows? Because Doakes knew the logic of the 'contract' very well. Only when they were attacked could they fight back against the human-faced statue.

Now, the other party can confirm that they know all the terms of the contract.

"Clear information is the other party's first purpose. However, the other party should have already guessed this purpose. It is just a final confirmation." Doakes: "The other party arranged for statues to attack us, and there is another more Big purpose.”

"--curse."

Angel suddenly heard the word curse and was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to realize: "Curse? What do you mean..."

Doakes coughed dryly, and then said in an octave lower voice: "Yes, I am cursed."

The reason why Doakes was able to confirm that the human-faced statue was definitely not reckless in attacking them was because he was cursed when he smashed it.

Moreover, it is the kind of passively triggered curse.

As long as they didn't break the human-faced statue, even if they just attacked the statue, the curse would not be triggered; but Doakes broke the human-faced statue, and the curse was triggered.

"No hint of your inspiration?" Angel frowned.

Doakes shook his head: "No, that human-faced statue has an effect similar to counter-prophecy..."

Previously, when the other party possessed the little mole, they speculated that Doakes and Angel were a prophecy wizard and a space wizard.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the other party arranged a human-faced statue that counteracts the prophecy effect.

The only surprising thing is...

"My inspiration can actually be neutralized by the anti-prophecy effect. This is too unfair. Obviously my inspiration is not a prophecy..." Doakes murmured a little aggrievedly.

However, Angel was not too surprised that the "anti-prophecy arrangement" could overwhelm Dox's inspiration. After all, he was also someone who had refined anti-prophecy props.

Angel still has a certain understanding of "counter-prophecy".

The vast majority of counter-prophecy abilities are aimed at "time and space mapping". Prophecy is just one type of time-space mapping. There are many other abilities that have the effect of "time-space mapping".

For example, the Eye of True Sight, the Eye of Truth, the Power Word Technique, and the Art of Breaking Illusion... actually all involve the reflection of time and space, and these are not the abilities of the prophecy system. But high-level anti-prophecy arrangements can also shield these spells.

Therefore, counter-prophecy is not just anti-prophecy, but also involves many related abilities.

Doakes' inspiration talent is not a prophecy, but it also involves part of time and space mapping, so it is not surprising that it can be targeted.

Angel did not explain the truth about the "counter-prophecy". In the future, Doakes will always have a chance to obtain this knowledge as long as he goes to Fantasy Island or logs into the Wilderness of Dreams. Moreover, Angel originally planned to let Doakes contact Dodoro, and Dodoro would also tell Doakes this knowledge.

"What curse?" Rather than wasting time explaining the counter-prophecy, Angel was more concerned about the curse in Doakes.

Doakes: "...blood curse."

Blood curse does not refer to a specific type of curse, but a type of curse.

All curses that use blood as a medium are called blood curses.

The blood curse ability can be high or low, which can limit the various abilities of the cursed person, or even directly curse him to death. However, a small statue with a human face pattern cannot bear the kind of blood curse that can kill an official wizard.

Moreover, the powerful blood curse is easily perceived. Neither Doakes nor Angel noticed the blood curse in the human-faced statue. It was basically certain that the level of the blood curse would not be too high.

Although the level of this blood curse is not high, the blood curse has one characteristic... it is very restrained in all blood-related abilities.

In other words, the blood curse restrains wizards on the bloodline side better than wizards from other departments.

If it was Angel who was hit by the blood curse, he would hardly be affected much, but if it was Doakes who was hit by the blood curse, the result would be different.

Angel: "What abilities does the blood curse limit on you?"

Facing Angel's inquiry, Doakes rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "The blood in my right hand is a little more stagnant than normal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doakes added: "Overall, it doesn't have much impact. Moreover, the level of this blood curse is very low. Even if I don't actively kill it, it can only last for half a day at most. If it continues Use energy to dispel the blood curse, and it should be solved in an hour... no, half an hour."

"The right hand." Angel stared at Doakes's slightly trembling right hand: "A bloodline wizard without the support of his right hand is equivalent to losing half of his combat power..."

Doakes: "Not even half, at most 5%..."

Angel stared at Doakes for a few seconds. Doakes tilted his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Or 10%."

Angel snorted lightly and did not comment much on this data.

When he said the combat power was reduced by half, he was indeed saying it was too high; but when Doakes said it was reduced by 10%, he was also understating it.

As a wizard who relies on blood to fight, any part of the body can affect the whole body. Without one right hand, the overall strength may be reduced by at least 20 to 30%.

Of course, even if it drops by 20 to 30%, Doakes's combat effectiveness is still stronger than most wizards. There is no need to deny this.

"Even if it's 10%, it's still a loss. After all, we are about to face a strong enemy." Angel looked at Doakes: "I have a way to quickly resolve the curse on your right hand."

Doakes: "What can we do?"

Angel: "Sunlight Temple..."

After Doakes was silent for a few seconds, his eyes drifted to the other side: "Did someone talk just now? I've been a little deaf recently and couldn't hear anything."

The last time he used the Sunlight Temple, Doakes sold his freedom; if he used the Sunlight Temple again, wouldn't he be eaten dry and wiped clean even with his flesh and blood?

This is absolutely not okay!

No matter what Angel said next, Doakes just showed an expression with a crooked mouth and whistled, and his eyes did not look at Angel. The meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this, Angel could only shrug and stop trying to dissuade him.

…

Although Doakes was under a blood curse, he still had to walk and reach the high platform.

Soon the stairs came to an end.

When they arrived here, they finally saw the situation on the high platform.

The first thing that came into view was a huge arena covered by a dome. In the ring, two wizards were fighting fiercely.

Outside the ring, that is, below the arena, a large group of people were lying down. To the naked eye, there were at least forty or fifty people.

Most of them were apprentices. Most of them were lying on the ground, looking like statues... It's not that they were injured and couldn't move, but that the dome blocked the energy, but not the pressure.

The pressure released by the two wizards who were fighting crushed them to death.

Kael, who had just stepped onto the high platform, was not aware of it and was almost affected by the coercion. Fortunately, Doakes and Angel beside him controlled the intrusion of the coercion in time, so no embarrassment occurred.

In addition to the apprentice lying on the ground, there were three official wizards under the arena.

Their treatment is different from that of apprentices.

The apprentices at least did not suffer any external injuries, but one of the three of them lost an arm, and the other held a sickle-like leg in his hand... This was also his leg.

The only person who seemed to have all four limbs intact had half of his wings missing from his back.

In addition to the horrifying injuries, the three of them were also restricted in their movements, and were all locked in space seals one by one. The space seals were like transparent coffins, locking them inside and unable to move.

However, although they could not move, they could still see the outside world.

For example, they noticed the appearance of Angel and others at the first time.

When the three official wizards saw them, Dox was also looking at them, and introduced their identities to Angel.

"The wizard who transplanted the legs of the Blade Shadow Monster is called Yaki. Bilos... Yes, the one with green curly hair and the sickle leg in his hand. He is a wizard trained by the Bilos family. He just broke through a few years ago. Although he is also from the bloodline, his bloodline is not systematic and his strength is not even one-tenth of mine."

"The wizard with half of his wings missing on his back is also a wizard from the Bilos family. He has no real name and is called Sea Eagle to the outside world. Don't be fooled by his long straight blue hair and weak appearance, but he is not a woman!"

"As for the female wizard with a broken arm... It's Urus. Did you see the logo on her witch robe? That's the logo of the Pure Land of Bliss."

It's normal for wizards from the Bilos family and the Pure Land of Bliss to appear here.

It was Dox who appeared here, which surprised the three wizards trapped in the space seal.

Because Angel changed his appearance, they didn't recognize him, but Dox and the others did. How could a wandering wizard from the Sandworm Market suddenly appear in Paradise?

Sea Eagle and Yaki simultaneously set their sights on Ulus in Paradise Hall.

Paradise is under her jurisdiction, so she might know something.

But Ulus was also at a loss.

She had not seen Dox check in during the past few months in Paradise... Since he had not checked in, why did Dox appear here?

Could it be that the space seal outside Paradise was broken?

But the space seals on their bodies were connected to the space seals outside, and their own space seals were still intact, which meant that the space seals outside should also be intact.

Ulus, Sea Eagle, and Yaki were all confused, while on the other side, Dox had skipped them and introduced the people on the ring.
