Chapter 26
Death!
After hearing Black Dill’s description of the Bloodcaster’s most fatal weakness, Yulair felt a chill like cold water was poured all over her.
A Bloodcaster was very strong indeed, but this fatal weakness was too fatal as well. Furthermore, her body was not very strong.
During the Full Moon Blood Night, if she was a Bloodcaster, she would lose all her battle strength.
A strong body?
Her gaze swept towards Gurney’s face subconsciously. At this moment, the light of the fire shone on Gurney’s face, showing his handsome and calm appearance. It seemed like the Bloodcaster’s fatal weakness would not be a big worry for him.
That’s right. This Gurney is very strong, and his body is also… similarly terrifying. In his case, this might not be a fatal weakness at all
, Yulair thought to herself.
This weakness is truly detrimental
, Gurney who showed no expression externally also sighed to himself internally.
But regardless, this is a powerful supernatural class. Furthermore… it is not impossible for me to get rid of or suppress that curse.
Gurney who had a system was confident of suppressing that curse in the future.
To obtain strength, one must put in sufficient effort!
Gurney recited this philosophical quote in his mind.
After some time, Gurney spoke to the others, “Guys, I am prepared to accept the inheritance of this Bloodcaster class.”
Nobody felt surprised at his words. They had all witnessed Gurney’s strength with their own eyes. Furthermore, they had also seen the toughness and strength of Gurney’s body. It was likely that during the blood-moon curse period, Gurney would only be weakened to half of his full strength. In that case, he would still retain considerable battle strength.
After all, Bloodcaster was a powerful class, to begin with. Someone with exceptional talent like Gurney would not refuse it.
“Earlier, Black Dill said that this Bloodcaster class is very powerful and special. Furthermore, there is a mysterious curse within the blood power itself. Even though I am confident in my own mental power and my body is not weak either, we need to avoid unnecessary injuries or deaths when I undergo catalyst acceptance. In the event that I see illusions and lose control of myself, I would like everyone to leave first. Go to the previous treasury and wait for some time. Once I complete the inheritance acceptance, I will go over and inform you guys.”
Everyone listened to that and held no objections.
The inheritance of a supernatural token was usually filled with danger. It was normal for peculiar situations to occur afterwards, like loss of control, mutation, illusions, mania, or even death.
After all, humans were not supernatural lifeforms, to begin with. Trying to obtain greater strength would usually lead to necessary risks. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
“You need to be careful when you are alone. If you need help, shout out loud, and we will come over. But I believe in your strength. This small supernatural class inheritance should not trouble you,” Avery said relaxedly. However, his facial expression was nowhere near relaxed.
“Once you complete the supernatural class inheritance, the difference between us will widen once again,” Philosophy Knight Pavel said softly.
“Then you need to work harder,” Gurney returned.
“Haha… Of course I will catch up to you soon.” Pavel laughed as well. He spoke in a carefree tone, but he could not conceal the lack of confidence in his heart.
Soon, everyone else returned to the tunnel and vanished into the darkness.
“Huff…” Seeing their figures fade into the darkness, Gurney let out a deep sigh after some time.
Once Gurney found out that the second special encounter point would have a supernatural class inheritance, he started to plan a way to gain the third special encounter content, the Destiny Gold Coin.
Using the inheritance as an excuse to send them away so he could open the Supernatural Door containing the Destiny Gold Coin, this was Gurney’s plan.
After returning to the Blood Magic Totem room and walking one round around it, Gurney then left the room.
Arriving at the living room, Gurney willed more than ten Fire Arrows to block the entrance of the tunnel. The burning flames could block out the sound of the Supernatural Door when it opens.
Arriving at the door that guarded the Destiny Gold Coin, Gurney quickly input the Lanemian runes on the door.
Crack…
There was a soft sound of friction.
After the door was opened, he saw a small study room that was more like a secret room. All three walls that he saw had decaying bookshelves, as well as a large number of decayed books. Hundreds of years had already passed here, so it was not strange for these ordinary bookshelves to be decaying like that.
In contrast, the environment here was quite clean, so there was not much dust.
Using the system, Gurney saw the coin immediately; it was termed as the noble creation, “Destiny Gold Coin”. This gold coin could be said to be the most important thing in this special encounter. After all, the main theme of this special encounter was the “Noble Inheritance of the Blood Magic Grandmaster”.
Walking forward, Gurney picked up the Destiny Gold Coin that was lying unassumingly at the corner of the wall. If one did not take a closer look, one would not even notice this noble creation.
I should toss it, and check out my luck!
The moment Gurney held this Destiny Gold Coin, that strange thought surfaced in his mind.
In fact, Gurney had a strong urge to quickly toss this Destiny Gold Coin.
“I cannot do that.” Gurney immediately became alert. He strengthened his will, and this Destiny Gold Coin got stored inside the system storage space. At the same time, the strange thought vanished.
“There is some kind of powerful mental suggestion. Thankfully, I was alert and knew this thing was special. Thus, I was not controlled by this urge. If I did not know this Destiny Gold Coin’s true identity or if my mind was weaker, I’m afraid… I would’ve really tossed it. Then… what would’ve happened the moment I tossed this Destiny Gold Coin?”
He looked around in this seemingly empty study room.
Gurney had some guesses in his heart.
“Destiny Gold Coin, it is not simple at all, but it was left at a corner of this room so casually. That means its original owner, Blood Magic Grandmaster Gog, had already… fallen victim to it.
“Was it caused because he tossed this Destiny Gold Coin? If so… then this Destiny Gold Coin is truly a powerful and extraordinary magical item. If I have time, I want to research it thoroughly.”
Now was not the time to explore the secret behind the Destiny Gold Coin.
While thinking, Gurney had already shut the Supernatural Door of this study room.
Since he had already obtained the Destiny Gold Coin, it was now time to take the inheritance of this Bloodcaster class.
Bloodcaster!
Returning to the room with the Blood Magic Totem, Gurney inspected the totem stone pillar. After confirming that there were no issues, he felt slightly assured.
He placed his palm on the stone pillar.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Three runes started to vibrate.
The runes that represented “communication” and “medium” were formed in Gurney’s palm.
At the next moment, Gurney connected the communication medium between him and the supernatural token, Blood Magic Totem.
When obtaining supernatural books or trying to use supernatural equipment, one needed to establish a connection. Similarly, when trying to accept the guidance of a supernatural token inheritance, one had to establish the medium of connection as well.
Once the connection was made, an indescribably twisted evil curse that was filled with darkness, blood, greed, and terror spewed out like a broken dam, gushing into Gurney’s body.
This evil curse that had been nurturing for hundreds of years went into Gurney’s body and soul at the same time as the Bloodcaster inheritance.
“Oh no!”
The moment the connection was made, Gurney sensed something amiss. When Gurney wanted to cut the connection with this supernatural token, it was already too late.
The dark and twisted curse’s power had already poured into the depths of Gurney’s soul.
His body twisted, and he screamed shrilly and peculiarly like he was in deep pain.
“Aghhhh…! Aaaahhh…!”
Gurney who was in deep pain felt his body contracting, and all of the blood in his body was boiling because of this curse.
His entire body inflated rapidly like a balloon.
Gurney’s heart, at this very moment, was pounding crazily like it had gone haywire.
Thud-thud-thud-thud…
It was beating more than ten times a second.
“Ugh… ugh… save…”
This sudden change of event made the calm Gurney fluster as he turned fearful.
“Am I about to die…. but I have a system…”
In the depths of Gurney’s eyes, there was despair and helplessness.
Bam!
Suddenly, Gurney’s heart exploded with an intensely loud sound.
In the next moment, Gurney’s pupils lost all signs of life. His entire body was like a collapsed pillar as he lay within the blood pool of the Blood Magic Totem.
His expression was twisted.
The appearance of his corpse was unsightly!
