Chapter 79 – 22. End (1)
Jennifer stood in front of a huge gate made of steel.
The vast jungle that they crossed at full speed through the night, and the Earl of Cursreal located beyond it. Its administrative and social center, the capital, was situated right in front of the forest in order to be as close as possible to the ecliptic.
Thanks to this, after several hours of jungle traversing, she was able to reach the entrance of the city as soon as she came out of the forest.
The Earldom of Kurreal is a vibrant territory that has prospered in its own way, based on its geographical advantage of being close to the ecliptic. Also, the current time is around 1:00 PM after noon, when most people’s activities peak.
“······.”
Then why is it so quiet?
North Gate. Originally, this gate, which is the beginning of the road connecting the imperial capital and the capital, should be noisy with the voices of the carriages going to and from the city and the voices of soldiers checking luggage.
But right now, the surroundings are as quiet as a dead rat.
The sounds of heavy armor and weapons, the conversations of merchants waiting for their turn, and even the sound of horses.
Jennifer’s ears do not hear anything.
Serung·······.
She drew her sword from the scabbard at her waist and cautiously approached the abandoned castle gate.
Soldiers, merchants, and horses were not absent as usual. They were still here, as always.
However, all of them are just lying on the ground.
Eyes with no vitality, and pale skin. Her slender fingers touched the neck of the nearest soldier.
‘I’m alive.’
The pulse is beating vigorously as usual. At least not yet.
The body’s mana is also maintained at a normal level. Therefore, it is not that mana is exhausted.
‘But why is there no response…?’
The ‘mana rejection reaction’ does not occur in their bodies.
The mana of the human body has resistance to external mana. However, the magic within their bodies did not respond at all to Jennifer’s mana watching them.
Just like natural mana in the air.
“······.”
There are no signs of a battle around here.
Therefore, this spectacle is at least not a horror caused by physical attack.
If so… Maybe ‘that’ is the source of this problem.
She lifted her head and looked up at her cloud-dark sky, then took her big step through her checkpoint and into the city.
“Ugh…”
At the same time, Jennifer was forced to stop in her tracks by the immense pressure that began to tighten her.
Pressure from the dark sky constrained her actions. This sensation is similar to the feeling of not being able to breathe because your throat is blocked. Not physically, but spiritually.
‘Indeed······.’
People pass out when the air circulation stops due to choking, and if it continues, they die.
This is a curse targeting the human soul. It is a spiritual attack that blocks the passage of vitality from the body to the soul.
Even though there is no trauma now, the people who fell to the floor are fainting in spirit. If this situation continues, they will eventually lose their lives.
‘We need to remove the curse as soon as possible.’
Despite her witchcraft devouring most of her Awoken as well as shaman properties, Jennifer did not lose her sanity.
Her [Lightning] Attribute is just average, but her strong body and spirit, which have grown through transcendence, do not succumb to this curse even though they shrink.
‘The source of witchcraft… Is that hill!’
In the distance, witchcraft towers are showing off purple as advertised, and the density of curses is also concentrated near the tower.
However, the keen senses of the transcendent were not seduced by superficially noisy clues. She realized that the cycle of sorcery began and ended not with the tower, but with the low hill on the other side.
Princess Jennifer 1 started running towards her garden at the maximum speed she could.
A curse suppresses her powers, but her steps remain unstoppable.
Her shadow swayed to and fro, expressing her immediate confusion and future anxiety.
* * *
Chii profit·······.
“Oh, again!”
While brown smoke was thick everywhere, purple currents raged in all directions. Jennifer was able to breathe again as the intense high-voltage electricity mercilessly disintegrated the toxic gas that was melting her vegetation.
I don’t know how many times this has already happened.
The first princess started climbing the hill to get rid of the curse.
Her garden was full of traps.
From simple physical barriers, totems that cause loss of balance and disorientation, to smoke that causes hallucinations and hallucinations, to liquids that relentlessly dissolve matter.
The installer’s intention to stop the footsteps of those heading to the summit is evident.
However, no trap could stop the noble will of the first princess. Most of them were destroyed before being activated by her superior senses, and most of the rest were useless in front of her electricity.
But despite her transcendent vigilance, a part of her succeeded in reaching her. Jennifer’s clothes have melted slightly, revealing her inner flesh, and she is currently experiencing some hallucinations.
This proves that there are countless pitfalls, and at the same time suggests the involvement of professional attributes. When it comes to attributes specializing in poison and curses, the first thing that comes to mind is the universal [Poison] Attribute.
The next thing that comes to mind is the epic [Shadow] Attribute. Jennifer lowered her head and stared into her shadow for a moment.
The shadow nodded her head once as if agreeing with the owner’s opinion. ‘She’, the Empire’s secret weapon, is much better at this than Jennifer.
So, could the culprit be one of the summoners the Empire didn’t find? Then why? Why did he do such a terrible thing?
Jennifer was sure she would be able to answer all her questions sooner or later. By extinguishing the curse of heaven after capturing or slaying her bastard, Princess One can save tens of thousands of lives while at the same time adding another major advantage to her in the race for succession to the throne.
Even her shadow fell silent, as if preparing for the upcoming battle.
Eventually, Jennifer reached the summit of the Garden.
A splendid flower garden spread out wide, and a tomb in the middle.
Two people are lying in front of him.
Myoryeong with red hair and a man with gray hair.
Among them, anger boiled in Jennifer’s heart when she saw the condition of her woman.
“This!!”
Jennifer hurries to her lady, but that doesn’t make what has already happened.
A very young looking woman.
Her red maiden’s blood and her pale liquid knew that she had been her first experience,
The red handprints left on her neck and back indicate her pain,
And the dried tear marks on her face indicate her relationship she didn’t want.
The woman in front of me was slaughtered.
“Damn!”
At the same time, the terrible memories of her ten years ago flashed through Jennifer’s mind as if it were yesterday.
The realization that her maid, whom she cherished, cannot be seen from one day.
Exploring every nook and cranny of the imperial castle to find the maid.
The disgusting horrors of the underground that you normally wouldn’t even come close to.
This is what causes Jennifer to stay away from men,
This is the moment when I began to resent my one and only brother,
It is a curse and the driving force of life that will forever bind the first princess.
“Sorry······.”
For not coming sooner.
I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.
1 As the princess suppressed her tendency to go on a rampage in proportion to her emotions, she turned away with deep remorse and guilt.
The situation is not over yet, and the lives of many people are still at risk.
Tears of reflection and regret are a luxury.
The one remaining man is a person who exists in her memory.
Count Jonathan Cursreal. He is the lord who rules this city.
There seems to be no culprit here. Did you run away already?
Still, the source of the curse is certain to be here somewhere. If you only deal with the curse, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ugh…”
“Jonathan! Come to your senses!”
With a faint, dying moan, Jennifer brought her face close to him.
“I am Jennifer di Kairos, First Princess of the Empire! What happened here?!”
“Eww······.”
“Where is the culprit! No, first tell me the location of the shaman!”
Jonathan’s voice was so low that she fell on the floor and approached him so that her ear could touch his mouth.
That was the first princess’ failure.
“Chiiik…”
“Kuhup?!”
As poisonous gas spewed out of Jonathan’s mouth, his hand reached out and grabbed Jennifer’s neck. The black poison from the fingernails digging into her neck also seeped into her body.
It was a truly ignorant surprise.
“Muh, what… Kek, kollock…”
Jennifer stumbled for a moment before collapsing to the ground.
Her eyes slowly closed.
* * *
“It’s a success…”
I walked out from behind the tomb wearing a mask. With the mask’s concealment effect combined with the stealth magic, Jennifer couldn’t find me.
The Transcendentalist, the 1st princess, fell into my ruse and lost her consciousness.
It wasn’t like this from the beginning. The original plan was to ask Iris to neutralize her first princess. Because that is the surest and fastest way.
However, Iris told me to subdue the transcendent on my own as part of the test for the qualification to inherit the heavenly inheritance.
The difference between Jennifer and me is still overwhelming. Her head-to-head is against the odds, so I designed her trap for her.
First, he took control of Jonathan’s body. Whether it was because of my revenge or because of despair and frustration, his soul was full of scars. The [Heaven] Attribute mana easily ate his soul and placed her body in her hands.
If Emilia is a living doll for sex, Jonathan is a living doll for self-destruction.
His [Poison] Attribute, which was output to its maximum, was extremely effective.
If Jennifer’s condition had been normal, my plan would not have been so completely successful.
However, she was tired from coming here from the ecliptic, was constantly under the influence of the curse, and encountered numerous traps set by Jonathan while climbing the Garden.
And most of all, she caught her guard by assuming that the lord of this place, Jonathan Cursreal, would also be a victim.
Thanks to the harmonious combination of all these elements, fantastic results were obtained.
All you have to do now is reap the fruits of your success.
I plan to infiltrate Jennifer’s brain with my mana, injecting some hints into it. This is similar to what he did to Ah-yeong’s maid last time.
For example, propositions such as 〈 men are more desirable with more women〉 and 〈 stop is reliable〉 will be entered deep into her head.
Through this, I will castrate her will to interfere with my harem construction.
I don’t know if it will work. This is the first time that this ability has been applied to a transcendent. Well, if you fail, you can ask Iris.
“······.”
I gulped.
Even after the brainwashing is complete, Jennifer probably won’t wake up.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to do whatever I want after I achieve my goal?
I scanned her body up and down.
The large breasts and luscious hips revealed through the melted clothes. As you scan Jennifer’s glamorous body, your mouth waters.
Apparently, the cock that had ejaculated countless times on Emilia’s body just before had swelled up as thick as if it were the first time.
What are the limits of my sexual desire?
Now i’m going to be scared
That doesn’t mean I’m a monster devoured by lust like Jonathan. If you eat Jennifer, who is a Transcendentalist and her first princess, today, along with the satisfaction of your desires, the [Heaven] Attribute will greatly increase. You cannot miss this rare and incredible opportunity.
I squatted in front of Jennifer and massaged her breasts.
Her shadow pierced my thigh.
·········Uh?
