Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 197

Clink!

The Elven Light Armor seems to have shed a layer of its skin like a snake! The armor became darker and it started giving off an intimidating Aura!

This time, Cyril is sure that the Artifact has become a Rank-S Artifact. Anyway, he no longer needs to use his Appraisal Book for this item since Rank-S Artifacts have the ability to inform the user about its status.

[ Great Elven Light Armor ]

[ Rank-S Artifact ]

[ Durability: 100/100 ]

[ Skills: Magic Reflect, Absolute Defense, Skirmish Clone, Elf Guardian ]

Cyril quickly inspected the skills. As expected of a Rank-S Artifact. Not only did it increase the Skirmish Clones into five, but it also added another skill. Summoning an Elf Guardian!

‘Great! Now I have more trump cards with me. I should be fine facing a dragon, right?’ Cyril smiled as he finally got his second Rank-S Artifact. He knows that many A-Rank and B-Rank Awakened perished in this Arcane World after all.

He couldn’t help but be nervous and having these Artifacts with him are the only things that would make him confident.

Then, after confirming that everything is right, he decided to place his hand on the Entrance Crystal together with the Demons.

Whoosh~

At last, Cyril and his Demon Servants managed to enter the High-Class Arcane World in a few moments.

“I lost connection to the Entrance Crystal…” Cyril immediately tried to see whether he could get out but unfortunately, he was trapped inside the Arcane World.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t too disappointed since he already expected this to happen. What concerns him the most is the reaction of his demon servant.

“Master… It’s very foul here.”

“It’s suffocating.”

“Ugh… What is this place? Does a Dragon have this kind of power?”

“I don’t know, I never met a Dragon before. However, I heard that an adult dragon can fight against Demon King!”

The four new Demon Servants started complaining as soon as they entered the Arcane World. As for Amaris, it seems that she could take the unknown pressure on her a lot easier.

Cyril guessed that it has something to do with the fact that she has a lot more Corrupted Beings than the other four.

Unfortunately, Cyril can’t help them either since he doesn’t even feel this pressure or suffocating energy they’re experiencing.

‘Tsk… They’re already weakened from the start… Just what kind of world is this?’

Luckily, the demons don’t seem to be dying and perhaps, their strength is only limited. They still appear to be capable of using their Demonic Energy although greatly suppressed.

Cyril looked around the open space they are in.

They are in a cold desert as the moonlight shines above them. The Arcane World is probably like this forever or perhaps, they have just arrived at night time.

Anyway, he wouldn’t be surprised if there is only nighttime here since his Undead World is also the same.

“Can you guys sense the presence of the Dragon?” Cyril asked the five as he looked around. There is nothing but the empty desert in his eyes. Looking at the skies, he can only see the stars and the bright moonlight.

“It’s vague, Master. I can feel a powerful presence surrounding us. It feels like it’s everywhere so it’s confusing.” Amaris replied after assessing the situation.

They are currently standing on a stone platform in the middle of a desert. The platform is even half-covered by sand at this point.

They did not move from their spot and just carefully watched the sand dunes surrounding them.

‘The wind is coming from the east… Eh? Was it sea breeze? That’s weird…’ Cyril felt even more confused after smelling the scent of the salty sea from the wind.

He wanted to start investigating to see what was going on. However, as he was about to order them to move, the sand suddenly started shaking as if something was about to come out.

He had a bad feeling about this as he unhesitatingly activated his Shoes’ ability, High-Jump.

Whoosh!

As soon as he reached 20 meters off the ground together with the Demons who also felt the danger, a huge Sand Dragon suddenly tried catching them with its huge mouth!

“I’ll leave this one to you guys!”

Cyril immediately said as he looked behind them. There isn’t just one enemy after all!

The Sand Dragon below them measures about 150 meters in length adding about 20 meters long tail.

It has four limbs and wings that seemed so heavy that it shouldn’t be able to fly at all. On its back where its spine should be located is filled with protruding spikes making it look so dangerous.

On the other hand, Cyril also found another huge creature which seemed to be a sea dragon on the other side!

As expected, there must be a nearby sea in the eastern part of this Arcane World.

The Demons did not hesitate to face the Dragon even though they are being suppressed.

They were proud members of the Demon Race after all. Not only that, but they aren’t just normal demons but titled ones!

The five of them were suddenly filled with Demonic Energy creating a black miasma in the sky…

Then, Cyril saw a huge cloud of miasma trying to wrap the Sand Dragon below.

Thud!

Cyril dropped to the ground as he shifted his gaze to the Sea Dragon.

He held his Conqueror Staff and activated one of its skills.

“Conqueror’s Domain…”

This time, Cyril created about 100 meters domain around him. Since he brought Aura Recovery Stones with him, he wouldn’t hesitate to spend his Aura at all.

“You lowly Demons! How dare you enter our land!”

The blue and flying Sead Dragon rushed towards their place. It seems that it had realized that the Sand Dragon wouldn’t be enough to deal with them.

‘Ugh… As expected, they don’t like the Demons huh… But I won’t feel confident if I left them in the house. I can’t just face you alone, right?’ Cyril mused as he decided to speak with the Sea Dragon instead.

Well, unlike the Sand Dragon who just attacked out of nowhere, this Sea Dragon at least decided to speak first.

“Wait a moment, Sea Dragon! We’re not here to hunt you or create trouble! We’re just looking for something! We will immediately leave once we settled it!”

Cyril raised his voice and used his Aura to amplify it. He’s afraid that he wouldn’t be heard after all.

Unfortunately, Dragons were also proud beings and has a strong territorial instinct. They wouldn’t want some other beings messing around their place.

“Hmph! A mere human who speaks the Dragon Language? Are you a servant of another Dragon? Why did you bring these Demons here?! I will punish you here, now!”

The Sea Dragon was still about 300 meters away from Cyril but as soon as it opened its mouth, Cyril realized that such distance is enough to hit him with its Dragon’s Breath.

Nevertheless, he’s not panicking at all as he activated his Armor’s ability.

Elf Guardian!

This recently acquired S-Rank Ability of his Artifact is something that even Cyril is curious about. Its description is quite vague after all. He only learned that this ability allows the user to summon a Spirit of a powerful Elf.

Nevertheless, since it’s a guardian from a Rank-S Artifact, it should be able to help him stop the Dragon even for a moment.

Whom~

A green light followed by the calming scent of leaves appeared around Cyril. Then, a huge white Spirit of an Elf looked at the Sea Dragon that was about to attack.

Even the Sand Dragon who was trying to take off the Demonic Energy piercing his body glanced at the powerful Spirit.

“An Elf colluding with the Demons?!”

Of course, the Dragon’s misunderstood again.

The Sea Dragon continued its Water Breath as it rushed towards Cyril.

Cyril let the Elf Guardian protect him while also controlling his Domain to stop the attack from hurting him.

With the power of his 2 Rank-S Artifacts, he should be able to deal with this!

Boom!

The attack hit his domain first but it was broken in an instant. However, the power of the attack weakened a lot so Cyril was still satisfied.

It is now time for his Elf Guardian to act.

Without any words, the Spirit raised its left hand as if it wanted to catch the attack. However, Dragon’s Breath reached them, it suddenly disintegrated like it was some kind of bubble popped by the Spirit’s hand!

“Incredible!” Cyril exclaimed as he took his recovery stones with him to replenish his aura. He wouldn’t wait for his Aura to be drained before replenishing them after all.

“Stop! Listen to me! These Demons are tied to me by a Contract. They won’t harm you if you don’t show hostility to me! Let’s talk!”

This time, Cyril’s voice is quite forceful showing his powers to the Dragons. At this time, he also ordered the Demons to back away and surround him.

Finally, the Sea Dragon and the Sand Dragon stopped moving from their place and looked at them carefully.
