Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 147

On the next day, Cyril informed the Awakened Association that he will be away for a while. As for his compulsory exploration every month, there was nothing to worry about since he had gotten closer to Vanessa these few weeks.

As long as he can join several explorations the next time he returned, there shouldn’t be any problem.

“Aunt… I’ll be exploring one of my Arcane World. I’m not sure how long it will take but you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Eh? Will it take a week?” Bonnie asked feeling confused. Cyril wouldn’t normally tell her about his plans to enter an Arcane World…

However, since her nephew is informing her. It means that this will probably take a long time.

“Hmm… It might even take a month depending on the situation in there. I’ll bring you a souvenir once I get out.”

“A souvenir? I’ll look forward to that then.”

After this, Cyril returned to the Crystal Room to check his items. He brough eight bags of groceries he bought to fill his stomach. He doesn’t know whether there will be something he could eat there after all. He also purchased several miscellaneous things that he might need in the exploration.

There were clothes, pair of shoes, kitchen utensils, ropes, gallons of water, a tent, and even a sleeping bag.

He didn’t want to waste the remaining space of his Dimensional Storage Space after all.

As for his Artifacts, he also brought a lot of them.

Aside from his set of Leather Armors from the Werewolves, he has another set of Rank-C Armor.

“Hmm… Did I bring too much?”

Cyril mused after checking all the Artifacts inside his Storage Space. He already wore his Rank-A Decimation Gloves and Elven Boots aside from his armor.

The Artifacts inside were quite a lot so his Storage Space is getting full.

Rank-B Centaur Long Sword x 4

Rank-B Centaur Long Bows x 5

Rank-B Giant Wraith Sword x 7

Rank-C Quiver of Enchanted Arrows x 10 ( 20 arrows each quiver )

Rank-A Elemental Magic Crystal Ball

Rank-A Identity Shroud Mask

These Artifacts were his main weapon but he also brought tons of repaired or fixed Goblin Tech!

Though they are only Rank-E or D Artifacts after several enhancements, with their numbers, they can still be very useful.

Rank-E Goblin Grenade x 30

Rank-E Goblin Musket x 5 ( with 20 pouched of musket balls )

Rank-D Goblin Daggers x 50

Rank-D Goblin Mage’s Staff x 30

Rank-D Goblin Pickaxe x 10

The last item was just in case he decided to dig a cave, to mine, or something. Anyway, it might be useful depending on the Arcane World inside.

Of course, he also brought several potions. Most of them were concocted by Bonnie but he still purchased some others from Association.

Though Bonnie received the inheritance of an unknown Alchemist, she has too little experience and probably requires several more months to get used to Grade 2 potions.

Grade 2 Lesser Healing Potion x 15

Grade 2 Impulse Insight Potion x 5

Grade 2 Night Vision Potion x 5

Grade 2 Weak Antidote x 5

Grade 2 Berserk Potion x 1

Grade 1 Tranquility Potion x 10

Aside from all of this, Cyril also purchased a gas mask and a set of diving gears in case he had to dive underwater.

He recalled what he read at the blog of some random A-Rank Awakened where he found a treasure chest at the bottom of a lake.

If possible, he would try doing that as well. He might find something that may surprise him after all.

“I’m ready. Although this is a bit earlier than I thought it would be. I’ve gotten a lot stronger with my S-Rank Aura. I can do this… If I remember it correctly, the elites of the Traoland Archipelago shouldn’t be as strong as me right now. As long as they’re not possessing a Rank-S Artifact, I should be stronger than them.”

Cyril said as he clenched his fist.

He originally wanted to explore this Arcane World after gathering some helpers or even after obtaining a lot more Artifacts.

However, he recently gained some confidence after knowing that there are many A-Rank Awakened exploring High-Class Arcane World for some Bead-Artifacts.

If they can do it and not be afraid, then how can he, an S-Rank Awakened be afraid?!

‘Right… I’m not an F-Rank anymore. I even managed to face off that scary ASTF… I should be fine. I’ll even bring Magenta with me… There’s nothing to worry about.’

Cyril comforted himself.

Well, he’s not really feeling afraid. It’s just that he felt that his preparation may not be enough.

Ehem, the truth is that he probably had trauma after what happened in his first High-Class Arcane World exploration. After all, not only did he see the death of many A-Rank Awakened there but he also witnessed the destruction of that Arcane World.

Cyril decided to drink one of his Tranquility Potion…

This potion doesn’t just fight off against mind-control magic but it also helps his concentration. It might be quite extravagant to use this to calm his mind but he’s already a rich S-Rank Awakened.

After a while, Cyril opened his eyes. This time, his eyes were filled with confidence, he already made enough preparation. He made his resolve and soon, he grabbed the cat with him as they vanished within the room after being covered by a white light.

Thanks to the sealing array Magenta created, there were no fluctuations whatsoever after entering the High-Class Arcane World.

As soon as Cyril realized that he already entered the Arcane World, he immediately wrapped his body with his Aura.

Though his Artifacts are all top quality, the reassurance of his Aura is still the best that he has.

“It’s dark… What kind of Arcane World is this? Oof—!”

Cyril immediately pinched his nosed after smelling the stench of blood.

As soon as he adjusted his eyes to the darkness, he finally realized where he was…

‘A prison?!’
