Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 146

“Ugh… Whatever, I’ll ask her later. Just remove the sealing array for now.” Cyril commanded the demoness.

More than a month ago when he asked for Xagan’s help to bind Magenta to him, he had to spend 5 precious days of his life for it to happen. If he has to do that to all the members of the Vestroth Clan. That would surely accumulate and he’ll spend more than a hundred.

Although the benefit he’ll receive after is unimaginable, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy that if his life has become too short.

“It’s done, Master.” Magenta swiftly replied after removing the sealing array.

This sealing array is made by herself that stops any creature from coming out of the Entrance Crystal.

Cyril may be able to create defensive arrays, however, there was no way he could do something like locking an Entrance Crystal at all. He only knows how to make low-grade Arrays in the first place.

Whom~

After a few seconds, Selma manifested in front of Cyril.

She’s wearing a long and black silk dress that perfectly accentuates her body. It is completely different from her previous casual clothes, however, just like before, she exudes a stunning aura befitting a demoness like her.

“Cyril… How was it?” The demoness asked as soon as she saw the handsome man in front of her.

“It’s difficult for me… Do you know a method on how to create an Artifact? Can’t you just make them?” Cyril suddenly asked the impossible.

“Ugh! If we know how to do that, we won’t be asking for your help.”

“Well, I’m just kidding. So how about you steal them instead? You can come out here, you should be capable of doing that right? Aren’t you a Destroyer?”

Cyril asked as he sat on a chair. He knows that Selma is weak right now since she’s still bound to the Prison Arcane World but she should still possess enough strength to steal Artifacts here.

“Ha~ I would like to steal some Artifacts around the city as well. However, it’s not that easy. I’m not using my demonic energy to exist here in the human world but my life energy. If I wanted to use my abilities here for a long time, I’d probably be the youngest Destroyer to die. That would be shameful…”

Selma explained like she wasn’t worried about the nearing destruction of her Arcane World at all.

“Do you know how much time you still have?”

“Hmm… Perhaps a year or two. Although the Arcane World is unstable, there are no other powerful beings inside aside from my Clan… As long as we don’t rampage inside, there shouldn’t be a problem to last that long. Would you like to take a look, Sir Cyril?”

Selma asked with a seductive voice. She has been inviting him to enter their Arcane World but he had always refused.

“Hmph… No way, I don’t feel safe. Though I’m at S-Rank, I don’t have any Artifact I can use to protect myself there.”

Cyril replied truthfully.

They chatted for a bit more and in the end, he decided to follow Magenta’s suggestion. He learned that there are 45 titled members of the Vestroth Demon Clan and 20 of them are at Corruptor Rank, 15 at Immolator Rank, 8 at Destroyer Rank like Selma, and finally, 2 at Harbinger Rank!

And based on Magenta and Xagan’s reaction, this wasn’t even considered to be a top Demon Clan at all!

“We haven’t started our sealing process yet. However, we have enough Artifacts to seal 5 Corruptors, 3 Immolators, and 3 Destroyers to bring them here. Wait, for the Destroyers like me, we won’t be leaving yet to ensure that we maintain the balance of the Arcane World.

“Too few?”

“What? Some Arcane World doesn’t even have more than one Rank-A Artifact, you know? We have three of that level in our world! This human world is just too freak. How could it even hold thousands of Artifacts at once… What kind of crappy balance is that?! It’s not fair!”

“Ohh… Is it like that? Hmm… Well, if you consider our world as another Arcane World, I guess you’re right.”

Cyril surprisingly agreed to the demoness’ words.

He had never seen the human world from a different perspective so he was interested in how Selma addressed this world as something unbalanced.

‘Anyway, it’s not my job to investigate that. There should be specialists working on discovering the secrets of the Entrance Crystal’s appearance.’

“Anyway, I’ll accept that number. I hope that they won’t have difficult conditions to fulfill though. Once I managed to unseal them, I’ll give them missions to take the Artifacts owned by some criminals I know.”

Cyril added. However, he didn’t say whether those Artifacts are good enough for the Demons to be sealed in. The reason is that he’s also unaware of the ranks of the Artifacts they’re using.

“Great… They should be ready in a few days!”

“Got it. However, do I really need to be the one taking out the Artifacts? Can’t you just carry them.”

“It’s not possible for me. Unless an Awakened is the one carrying them through the void, those Artifacts won’t be able to leave the Arcane World.”

“Tsk… I’ll do something about it then. Just seal them for now.”

“Alright!”

Selma was then covered by the purple crystal’s energy before vanishing within the room.

Cyril sighed after seeing her leave.

“Should I start exploring that other High-Class Arcane World now?” Cyril muttered to himself. He’s referring to the Entrance Crystal that Magenta had stolen from his neighbor.

He didn’t dare to activate that Crystal due to the possible dangers since he was lacking decent Artifacts.

However, since he now has several Rank-A Artifacts, he might have to consider exploring this now to find a Rank-S Artifact.

That way, he will be confident in visiting the Vestroth Clan’s Arcane World, and of course, he can also visit the Nine Crow’s Guild’s Dragon World.

‘Well… Since I can communicate with the Dragons. The difficulty there might lessen for a bit. I need to complete all of this before the incident in December.’

Cyril mused as he made up his mind.

Tomorrow, he will finally explore his very first High-Class Arcane World ever since regressed!
