Chapter 19: The Curse of a Dark Mage?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Just like the light-flame warlock and staff bearer, the priest was also a special profession.

This profession had both healing and combat abilities.

Now that he was facing a patient, Wu Linfeng was going to use his healing abilities as a priest more.

A ball of light suddenly appeared in his hand.

The light was off-white, seemingly as gentle as water and as soft as clouds. It did not possess any offensive power.

Even from a distance, Su Mo felt his body and mind relax, and his spirits were lifted.

“The light of life,” Xue Qiaoqiao nodded in approval.

After the light of life was formed, it slowly fell and disappeared into Wang Linglan’s abdomen.

Wang Linglan’s life force immediately became stronger, and her furrowed brows relaxed. Her frightened expression also eased, and even a few strands of dry hair regained their luster.

Seeing this, Wang Pengju’s face lit up with surprise.

Although his daughter had not woken up yet, her condition was obviously much better than before.

Wu Linfeng and Sun Lie, who were beside the former, also heaved a sigh of relief.

However, before they could relax, the situation suddenly started to worsen.

Wang Linglan’s hands grabbed the blanket so hard that her knuckles turned white.

The expression on her face became pained and twisted again as she shook her head with all her might like she was avoiding something.

At this moment, even her surging life aura suddenly began to decline.

In just a few seconds, her aura was even weaker than before the treatment.

The few strands of dry hair had turned into small patches of dry hair.

Wu Linfeng’s expression was serious and his lips were tightly pursed.

He cast a few more skills in succession.

However, no matter if it was strengthening the patient’s life aura, rousing her spirit, or awakening her consciousness, they all had the opposite effect.

After a round of treatment, Wang Linglan’s face was pale as if she was about to die.

Wu Linfeng’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he finally stopped.

He looked at Wang Pengju who was obviously heartbroken and opened his mouth to say something. But in the end, he didn’t say anything and gave up his position.

Sun Lie took over and walked forward. He slowly rolled up the sleeves of his plaid shirt. His expression was very serious as if he was facing a major bug that was difficult to solve.

There was nothing wrong with Wu Linfeng’s treatment just now. If it had been a normal patient, the treatment would’ve even enabled an old man on his deathbed to be active in the nightclub for a while.

Yet, not only was Wang Linglan not cured, but her situation had become worse. It was as if every healing skill had the opposite effect on her.

This was simply inconceivable.

“Unless it’s an evil spirit that doesn’t want her to be cured!” Sun Lie took a deep breath as his gaze turned serious. He formed a hand seal with lightning speed and pointed it at Wang Linglan, shouting, “Show!”

In an instant, as if the mist on glass had been wiped clean, Wang Linglan’s body emitted a faint black gas.

Among them, her head emitted the densest black gas.

Seeing this, Wang Pengju was shocked.

Xue Qiaoqiao’s eyes also narrowed, “Could it be a dark mage’s curse?”

“A dark mage?” The studious Su Mo asked.

“Just like how the light mage is one of the top ten mixed cultivator professions, the dark mage is also one of the top five turbid cultivator professions with experts who have broken through to level nine. The two professions have been against each other from the start. The light mages advocate healing and blessing, while the dark mages lean towards weakening and curses. In comparison, the dark mages are strange and evil. Some of their curses can’t even be dispelled by light mages,” Speaking of this, Xue Qiaoqiao carefully reminded, “If you meet a dark mage in the future, don’t give him the chance to touch you. Many curses that are difficult to remove are achieved through bodily contact.”

Su Mo nodded and silently blacklisted dark mages.

At that moment, Sun Lie began to take his next step. He formed another complicated seal and shouted, “Break!”

With this shout, a ray of spirit light followed Sun Lie’s hands and landed on Wang Linglan.

The black gas on her body was instantly cleared.

However, before everyone could be happy, the same black gas rose from her body again.

Sun Lie continued to form seals without any hesitation.

“Break!”

“Break!”

“Break!”

“Break!”

…

Having used more than 20 times of the same skill, Sun Lie’s face was pale, clearly exhausted.

However, Wang Linglan’s body was still covered in a faint black gas like in the beginning.

Moreover, both Xue Qiaoqiao and Su Mo sharply sensed that her life aura had weakened.

“It seems that the curse has already intertwined with her life force. Simply removing the power of the curse is not enough to remove the curse, because the curse is using her life force as a source of nutrition to maintain its effect. If this continues, she’ll die from the exhaustion of her life force.”

Sun Lie clearly noticed this as well. He smiled bitterly at Wang Pengju and said, “I’ve tried my best. This illness is not something I can cure.”

Wang Pengju’s face was dejected. He forced a smile and said, “Thank you very much for your help.”

Sun Lie retreated from the side of the bed.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Xue Qiaoqiao.

She didn’t say much. Her expression and temperament were calm. She seemed to have the power to comfort people as she walked forward silently.

“No wonder everyone calls her the Saint Mage. Isn’t she too pure and holy?” Su Mo could not help but sigh in amazement.

Xue Qiaoqiao came to the bedside and stopped. She waved her right hand lightly, and a ray of spiritual light fell from her fingertips, as fine as gold.

When the light landed on Wang Linglan, the black gas around her started to fluctuate violently.

Not only did it not decrease, but it increased by a lot. Like a black cloud, it enveloped Wang Linglan.

As if she didn’t see it, Wang Linglan continued to sprinkle golden spiritual light.

The black smoke began to twist and convulse, fluctuating and shrinking. In the end, it seemed to have found an exit and was sucked in through Wang Linglan’s nose.

In an instant, Wang Linglan opened her bloodshot eyes.

She jumped up from the bed and reached out to strangle Xue Qiaoqiao.

“Not good!” Seeing this, Su Mo reflexively rushed forward and prepared to control Wang Linglan.

However, Xue Qiaoqiao only said in a crisp voice, “Disperse!”

An intense light radiated out with her as the center.

The surrounding people didn’t feel anything special when the light passed by them, but when the light touched Wang Linglan, the black smoke was knocked out of her body.

“Purification spear!” Xue Qiaoqiao condensed a short spear in her hand and shot it at the gathering black clouds like lightning.

Everyone seemed to hear a miserable shriek.

Wang Linglan’s body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Su Mo hurriedly went up to hold her.

Then, Xue Qiaoqiao cast a recovery spell on her that was similar to the light of life.

Wang Linglan’s face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time, it didn’t decline as quickly as before.

Xue Qiaoqiao observed for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said to Wang Pengju behind her, “I didn’t fail you.”

Wang Pengju’s face lit up and smiled immediately.

Sun Lie and Wu Linfeng could not help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

But at the same time, they were very impressed by Xue Qiaoqiao’s performance.

Just as the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Su Mo’s expression suddenly became extremely unsightly.
