Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 167

As soon as Cyril activated the Domain, he secretly entered the building using his Traceless Scarf partnered with his Elven Boot’s Haste.

In addition, he used the Magic Crystal Orb’s ability to create chaos on the first floor so he could easily reach the higher floors!

The Magic Crystal Orb is the one he had stolen from the Teutonic Knights Guild at Whitemore City after he had taken the Demon Arcane World’s crystal from their treasury.

Most of its ability is related to elemental energy and the strongest ability it has is called Electric Discharge followed by Fire Break.

He didn’t really like using the strongest ability since it would cause about 10% of its durability since he’s using his S-Rank Aura.

However, he had to activate it this time to disrupt the electricity lighting up the whole place!

Boom!

The Electric Discharge activated creating an explosion and shutting off the electricity in the whole building!

Since it’s only three in the morning and the moonlight is blocked by clouds, it became completely dark for a while. Not even the emergency lights worked because of the Electric Discharge that serves like an EMP.

After this, Cyril used another Elemental Spell!

Fire Break!

It created a bright light and chaotic fire on the first floor! Without looking back, Cyril continued on his way to the upper floors until he arrived at the third floor to activate one of Wraith Sword with remaining Beastmen Wraiths inside them.

He didn’t really want to use this at first but he noticed that there are more Awakened on the third floor than he expected. He was only planning to use the Goblin Grenades at first but after some consideration, he decided to use these grenades to stop his pursuers instead…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everything is going according to plan since he could clearly see his surroundings thanks to the Night Vision Potion that he consumed before the operation.

Aside from that, not all groups of Awakened have Artifacts that give them light. Most of them are relying on their Aura to perceive their surroundings which is quite taxing in their bodies as well.

‘They’re finally here!’

After reaching the fourth floor, Cyril noticed the presence of three A-Rank Awakened who are currently targeting him.

It seems that they have someone in their group that could trace him even in this darkness and with his Traceless Ability activated.

Anyway, he didn’t panic and used a huge chunk of his Aura to force them back. They are still in his Domain after all.

“Ack!”

“The magic field had gotten stronger!”

“It’s really an S-Rank Artifact. We can’t compete!”

The three of them have Defensive Artifacts but it is not enough to defend against the full force of a Rank-S Artifact!

They can only wait for their S-Rank Awakened to deal with this problem!

On the other hand, Cyril already reached the fifth floor where the High-Class Arcane Worlds are located!

His Elven Boot’s Haste ability is about to end so he swiftly looked for the Crystal Room where they are hiding their precious Entrance Crystals.

He saw that it is protected by six inches thick metal door and found it difficult to destroy even with his Domain fully activated.

“Oh! So this place is your real target…”

“There’s only one Entrance Crystal and six Artifacts inside that room. Tell me what are you looking for, we might be able to help.”

Cyril looked behind him and found two people wearing black robes and black crow masks in front of him.

They seem to be unaffected by his Domain so it wasn’t that difficult to guess their identity.

They can only be the two S-Rank Awakened of the Nine Crows.

“I want to take all of them. Can you help me with that?” Cyril replied without getting nervous at all.

It is quite an amazing feeling since he had never imagined standing off against an S-Rank Awakened in his past life. However, here he is right now provoking two of them at the same time.

“You’re quite brave, kid. Who sent you here? How much did they pay you?”

“You might consider switching your loyalty to us. We can generously pay you and obtaining treasures like the ones inside wouldn’t be a problem at all.”

Cyril raised his brows after realizing that they were really trying to recruit him in this situation.

He couldn’t help but smile. Unfortunately, his answer is quite obvious already, he shook his head and immediately activated his Decimation Gloves. He poured a lot of his Aura into it making the two put on a defensive stance.

“So, you want to fight!”

“Bring it on!”

It doesn’t matter whether there are two of them, they know that once they were hit with the full force of a fellow S-Rank Awakened, they would still be incapacitated since their bodies aren’t that much different to lower rank Awakened.

Nevertheless, they know that Cyril is the same. As long as they can find an opportunity, they would surely put this young man in his place. They would then torture him to find out everything he knows about the treasures they have.

However, contrary to their expectations, Cyril didn’t charge at them with his Artifact but instead faced the thick metal door and punched it with his full might!

‘What a fool!’

‘This is a chance!’

The two Crows realized that Cyril wanted to create chaos by destroying the metal door. The young man probably wanted to take the treasures and flee without facing them.

However, how could they let him do as he pleases?

They immediately switched their stance and prepared to attack the intruder with their Artifacts.

Boom!

Cyril used his Decimation Glove’s Echo Strike with maximum strength creating an incredible force!

Crash!

The Glove Artifact also reached its limit as it was finally destroyed.

This is Cyril’s first Rank-A Artifact that was destroyed by having its durability reach zero points. It was such a shame since it’s not easy to find Rank-A Artifacts but this is his best option right now to create a path.

At this point, the two S-Rank Awakened already finished gathering their Aura and attacked Cyril with an intent to kill.

If they don’t have such intention, their attacks can be easily defended and they would just suffer in the end.

Static Rage!

Frost Frenzy!

Two powerful spells rushed at the young man.

However, instead of defending, Cyril only turned his back on them and rushed at the hole he created.

“You–!”

“You’re going to regret this!”

The two gnashed their teeth in anger. This young man dared to ignore their attacks and continued on his tracks!

They were S-Rank Awakened and even though they only used a Rank-A Artifact to attack, they still used a high-quality Aura making their attack more powerful than what an A-Rank Awakened could release.

“Reflect!”

As soon as the magic spells were about to hit Cyril, he triggered his Lycan Leather’s only active ability!

This Reflect can only be activated when attacked by magic spells!

The leather came from the Werewolf he hunted in one of his explorations in the Awakened Association.

The werewolves are known for their natural defense against magic attacks. Their hides couldn’t be easily damaged without using a special type of weapon.

Anyway, he had the old crafter make this Artifact and he barely had a chance to activate this Armor since he’s also worried about its durability.

It is only now that he’s about to get hit by two powerful spells did he not hesitate to activate it.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

The Static Rage and the Frenzy Frost hit a small barrier created by a barrier before returning to its caster!

It happened so quickly that the two Crows had to use their Rank-S Artifact to defend against it.

Because of that, they had to use more of their Aura and divide their concentration.

Up until now, they are still using their Rank-S Artifacts to defend against Cyril’s Conqueror Domain. Unfortunately, these Artifacts didn’t have offensive abilities!

Their Rank-S Artifacts are in the form of Ring and Necklace. Since they’re equipment type, they only have Blessing skill, Upgrade skill, Sealing Skill, Defensive skills, and a Shackle skill.

“Crap! It’s stronger than what we’ve thrown!”

“Ugh! This guy wanted to die! Let’s take this seriously!”

After the two neutralized the Magic Spells reflected them, they quickly rushed inside the room while maintaining their Artifact’s defense against the domain.

“You’re not going anywhere! Wall Defense Upgrade!”

“I’ll Seal this room now! You won’t get away!”

The two seemed to have waited for Cyril to enter the Crystal Room!

With the upgraded wall defense and sealing skill activated, it would be extremely difficult for Cyril to run away!

“Hmph!”

Cyril took the only high-class Entrance Crystal in the room while ignoring the other Rank-A Artifacts around.

The Artifacts didn’t catch his attention at all. They seem to be Artifacts that were difficult to use like Flails, Lassos, and Scythes.

They might look cool but using them in a real battle is extremely hard!
