Chapter 404
BANG!
[Defeated the Traitor.]
[Acquired a Curse Fragment.]
[Current Cursed Fragments Collected: 200]
[200 Cursed Fragments have been gathered.]
[Conditions for using the Curse Key have been fulfilled.]
[Haran can now use the Curse Key.]
[You can no longer acquire Curse Fragments.]
‘Got it!’
After dispatching the final traitor, Myeong-hu smiled at the message that appeared. This time too, the number of fragments needed to use the Curse Key was 200.
Swish
Myeong-hu averted his gaze from the message and looked ahead. Not far away, the pillar of the curse, their destination this time, was visible.
-I am ready.
Haran said.
“Me too.”
Myeonghu replied. Hearing his answer, Haran began walking toward the pillar. Myeonghu followed behind her, thinking.
‘It must be Atakshya’s avatar, right?’
The being guarding the pillar of curses—Myeonghu had anticipated it to be Atakshya’s avatar. Soon, the pillar drew near, and Myeonghu gazed at its front. There, just like the first pillar, a certain being was seated.
‘Why is it so blurry?’
Myeonghu couldn’t help but frown. Strangely, the being’s form was blurred. Given the distance, it should have been clearly distinguishable, yet it wasn’t.
It was right then.
[Warning!]
[You are near the Cursed Pillar.]
[You are cursed.]
[All stats reduced by 10%.]
[Damage dealt to enemies is reduced by 20%.]
[Damage received from enemies increases by 20%.]
As I entered the Curse Pillar’s influence zone, the message appeared. Simultaneously, the blurred form of a presence began to sharpen into clear view.
