[Kill Bronze Rank enemies in battle and get 650 public experience points]
"I still feel that the experience is a bit lacking..."
Annan sighed, and put the boning knife that was still bleeding back into the satchel without wiping it off.
Let's feel sorry for Brother Hammer.
Hope it doesn't think the blood of this kitchen knife is half of the sacrifice...
Otherwise, it may wait for half a week with its head up and its mouth open, but it will not be able to eat any bones.
Only the devil knows whose blood this is, and whose bone should be used for matching.
It's just that Annan really didn't want to absorb the several curses that Justin left behind after his death.
Because their price is too heavy for Annan:
"Overload Hunger (Permanent Type): No matter how much food is stored in the belly, as long as it is injured once, it will definitely fall into a state of extreme hunger an hour later."
"Loss of pain (permanent): 95% reduction in pain."
"Break out (taboo type): Do not lose consciousness while being restrained."
"Death is a dream (taboo type): After being seriously injured, you can't dream."
Except for the "analgesia of pain" which didn't seem like a serious punishment, Annan didn't really want to accept the other spells.
The curse of "break out of trouble" seems harsh, but it is entirely possible that it will be triggered unconsciously; while "death is a dream" is obviously suitable for those extraordinary people who have self-healing ability or dream control ability.
The price of "overload hunger" is indeed not serious for Annan today. But the curse can be brought into the nightmare.
Its side effects in the nightmare copy immediately became very serious—
Translating its cost, it actually means "supply must be carried out after one hour of fighting". However, the environment in the nightmare dungeon is quite special, and it is entirely possible that you cannot resupply after being injured...
Compared with this price, the positive bonus effect it brought to Annan can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
"... Then, it's up to you."
Annan made up his mind.
He took off the slender lady's ring from Justin's hand, and took off his carrying object—the bronze bracelet.
Following Salvatore's example, Annan put his left hand on his bronze bracelet and his right hand on the ring, and said in a low voice:
"I place a spell here.
"I will inherit the oath you made and bear the curse you bear..."
At this moment, Annan was in a trance.
He suddenly felt that his field of vision was raised a lot, as if he was accommodated in another body... It was like watching a CG, and he couldn't move.
Annan lowered his head slightly and noticed that it seemed to be the body of an adult woman.
Her left arm seemed to be broken, but Annan felt no pain at all. She was panting desperately, slowly backing away.
And slowly approaching before her eyes was Justin who had just been killed by Annan.
He moved his wrist, showing an ambiguous smile on his face, but his right hand gradually clenched into a fist.
"It won't hurt, Mrs. Nettie. I think it'll be nice."
Justin chuckled, and his face, which was about ten years younger than now, was full of cruelty: "And, if I'm not wrong...you don't feel pain, do you?"
Then he suddenly took a step forward and punched "Annan" on the chin.
Annan only felt a numbness in his chin, and then felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and his whole body fell limply, and he lost consciousness—
But before she lost consciousness, the thumb of her right hand snapped her right index finger suddenly.
Then, an extremely blazing, destructive heat rose from her right arm, completely covering the surroundings—
After that the picture went dark.
... This should be the memory of the witch named "Netti" when she died.
Annan made an inference.
The next moment, Annan's eyes flashed again.
His perspective rose and turned into a bird's-eye view similar to God's perspective.
I saw a female wizard about twenty-five or six years old with curly brown hair standing alone in the wilderness.
Her hair was tied up and hung on her chest from the left side, and her expression was a little nervous.
And in front of her was an altar with three tables and three boxes on it. Annan's perspective is above the altar.
I saw that she was touching one of the boxes... On that box, there was an image of a peaceful woman painted on her face.
In the next moment, she seemed to realize something.
She whispered:
"From now on, I will bear [Analgesia of Pain]."
Annan also followed her, chanting simultaneously.
The next moment, the picture in front of him suddenly broke.
When he came back to his senses, he happened to see the ring in his hand crack. A ray of red light rose up, and after circling a few times in the air, it flew out in the southwest direction.
Vaguely, Annan heard a grateful voice:
"thanks, thanks… "
After hearing that voice, Annan froze suddenly.
… What's this
soul
Seeing this scene, Annan suddenly recalled—
It was true that Gerald's body began to change after Salvatore absorbed the curse and the remaining curse turned into a nightmare.
Then, what will happen to the corpse that has been deprived of its contents...
No, could it be said that those extraordinary beings killed by hunters will never be rested in peace? They didn't actually die... but were imprisoned in the ring, using their souls as "fingerprints" and using the spell instead of the hunter
Such an idea suddenly popped up in Annan's mind.
And before his eyes, the belated system prompt gradually flashed.
But it wasn't he who got the hint of the new spell:
It was a line of blood-red, somewhat scrawled characters:
[The Curse Has Been Cut - The Prisoner of the Hunter]
The next moment, the remaining two rings also burst.
But perhaps it was because the curse hadn't been sucked clean, what came out of the ring was not red light, but black smoke similar to Gerald's.
They also circled around the room before leaving.
Strange auditory hallucinations also sounded in Annan's ears... But they did not thank Annan, but seemed to have some kind of obsession:
"I'm going to kill him, Justin... I'm going to kill him..."
"Mr Noterdam, I'm sorry..."
Then, it was Annan who got the reminder of the new curse:
[Curse: Loss of Pain Sensation (Permanent Type): Pain Sensation is weakened by 95%.]
Very simple and clean, just one line of introduction.
The price is fully integrated with the function, and for Annan, the price is almost non-existent.
Ordinary human beings need the sense of pain as an alert and reminder, just as people feel pain when they are close to fire, and pain when they are cut by a knife. This is to remind the owner to "keep away from danger".
But Annan was different.
He himself has lost his negative emotions, but he can still live, fight, and study normally, relying on his "common sense".
He is more like a machine driven by common sense and experience.
Vigilance without pain—Annan thinks that his understanding and judgment of human beings are more acute and excellent than that.
And he himself, of course, can be considered a human being.
