Chapter 127: A Curse (2)
"What do you mean?"
This thing, which seemed to have life, sighed and moved as far away from the heart as he could. Still, something strange was attached between him and the heart, so he couldn't move far away.
'Shit, I was wrong, what the fuck is this body?' Although he wanted to curse out loud, in the end, he didn't.
"Hmph, don't you understand that I'm a curse? You can't kill me!" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Klaus frowned and tried pumping again, which scared the curse or energy, whatever it was.
"Wait, wait!"
"Hmph, you think you're the big deal? I have here what I need to kill you. If you're not more specific, I'll shred you."
"Sigh. I'm a curse. If you don't know what that means, it's that I curse people. Originally, I was far away from here and didn't know where. But I have a special connection with that girl. When the curse in her started to be absorbed by you and attacked you with ferocity, I was brought here. I have the power to curse you; in fact, I already did. You are cursed now, and the mark is on your heart."
Klaus frowned.
"Why is Jasmine cursed, and what kind of curse are you?"
"What do I know? Ask her why she's cursed. I was born into this family. I curse them because it's my job." This thing's arrogant language was a bit annoying, but Klaus didn't care.
"What I do is to prevent you, who have received the special attention or love of a woman of the Clan, from not being able to see her beauty and feel repulsion towards her. Do you understand? If you kill me, you will suffer terrible pain that will possibly kill you. Heh, you are doomed to never see that woman's beauty again." This time, his proud smile did indeed annoy Klaus, but he nodded.
"I see; that's why I didn't see her real face a while ago. I didn't feel any revulsion, though; I just felt anger because I realized someone else was usurping her identity. Heh, what a poorly done curse."
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
Klaus ignored his screams and looked at his heart. The marks were there.
'So, a curse...' He thought.
As he did so, the curse continued to speak arrogantly. "Hahahaha, in the end, you're destined to watch me curse you and curse that girl; you like her, don't you? Hahahahahaha, well, it's no use; here I am, a curse, to stop everything from going right!" The frantic laughter was no deterrent for Klaus to think carefully.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked at the curse.
"Wait. Since you're a curse, a special kind of energy, doesn't that mean that if I absorb you, you'll become one of my powers?"
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Are you crazy?"
"Yeah... A little." Klaus smiled and looked at his abilities once more.
He focused on his body, which clearly said it could contain all kinds of energy.
'All kinds...' He looked greedily at the curse and grinned widely.
"How much percentage of dying do I have if I absorb you?" he asked suddenly.
Curse didn't quite understand but answered. "Hm, I don't know, 70%? Maybe between 60 and 70%. Are you afraid now?"
Klaus smiled even more...
"Crazy, we all have a little bit, don't we? Well, it's too bad for you. I'm not only a little bit crazy, but I'm also a scientist. I bet you've never met a Mad Scientist who is not afraid of death!"
"That laughable percentage, you're just a disgrace, nothing more! You call this a curse!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Klaus immediately started putting pressure on his heart, making it pump hard.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
Suddenly, the curse began to be pulled forcefully towards the heart.
Naturally, the pain increased in Klaus. His muscles contracted, and his heart seemed dilated, but Klaus smiled.
"What with this useless pain? This is what a curse looks like? Believe me, you'll look better as my power!"
Klaus' shout scared the curse, which started to tremble. They were both feeling the same kind of pain, but Klaus wasn't afraid of the pain.
What kind of pain was this?
Compared to the pain he felt when he was dying at the hands of that dark energy that swallowed him alive in that research center, this was nothing.
And that time, he didn't even flinch. He managed to decipher that preciousness in front of him. He didn't care if it was killing him; he wanted to understand it, even if it was the last thing he did!
And he did.
What was a little pain like this, feeling the muscles being crushed? Maybe it was painful, but he didn't care.
His curiosity was greater than any pain.
That was something that Curse could not understand. How could there be anyone capable of enduring so much pain?
What should have been impossible had materialized before him. A crazy bastard was willing and able to endure it.
That's why the curse tried to escape as much as possible, but he couldn't.
'What the fuck is this? Why can't I, one of the most powerful curses ever cast, do anything? Who is this bastard?' Although he grunted loudly and tried to escape, his power seemed lost.
'Right...' He suddenly remembered something. 'The family connection. I must escape that way!' He immediately tried to feel that family connection, which had brought him here since a moment ago, he had been tens of thousands of miles away, even hundreds of thousands, perhaps.
As he did so, he suddenly became still. 'What? It's gone, the connection... broken? My curse... Is it gone?' Suddenly, he became desperate as he felt strange things.
"AHHHHHHH, YOU BASTARD!"
Still, as he tried to make one last attempt, exploding, everything around him changed.
The heart he had been seeing a moment ago and the entire interior of that strange body transformed into a vast, endless, dark void.
Here, there was no light, no earth, no matter.
Everything was empty.
Even more, this strange void seemed to be staring at him, making him tremble. He felt a single tremor, a single glance before his consciousness faded from the void.
Klaus looked at the curse resisting but suddenly saw it go still.
'Resigned?' he thought. Along with his thought, the speed of absorption increased from one moment to the next and was over in no time.
