Chapter 72 -68: The Half-Fairy’s Plan

“If I had the same severe bloodline curse as these half-fairies, perhaps I, too, would never give up as long as I saw a glimmer of hope to break the curse,” Lucien reviewed the detailed identification information displayed on the system and felt even more wary of the group of half-fairies.

For them, the things on Kosai Island were a matter of life and death; thus, when it came time to fight over them, they would go all out, no matter the cost!

“Lucien, I think we should leave the area affected by the Fog Tide quickly,” Lilia came over, her expression somewhat serious.

“I am somewhat worried that the two escaped Forest Spirits might inform their companions of our whereabouts, maybe bringing Level 3 Wizard Apprentices to surround and attack us soon. We are at a disadvantage in this Fog Tide environment.”

“No problem, the Probe Witchcraft I control can still be used in this environment; I will handle the detection,” Lucien nodded, then once again conjured a small swarm of special mosquitoes using the Insect Repelling Spell. The swarm dispersed, beginning to provide Lucien with a view ahead.

Though this method of detection was simplistic and crude, it at least prevented Lucien and the others from getting lost in this white, blank world.

However, little troubles continued to emerge from time to time.

“Ah—” A servant screamed. His right foot was now deeply trapped in the ground, clearly having stepped on a sinister trap that had been prepared in advance.

The trap also contained a long and sharp wooden spike, which had now thoroughly penetrated his right foot.

Such a horrifying penetration wound was actually not fatal, especially since the group included Wizard Apprentices, any of whom could heal the injury fairly well with a simple zero-grade healing spell.

The deadliest aspect was the toxin on the wooden spike; the poison penetrated quickly, and at this point, the servant’s face had turned a shade of bluish-purple, clearly showing more exhalation than inhalation.

“Damn it,” Lilia cursed quietly, but still turned to the other followers and students, who all seemed quite nervous. “All of you pay attention. Form into small groups of two or three. Use Probe Witchcraft as needed; let’s not have unnecessary casualties over these small traps again.”

“Yes…” Several students responded, and the team set off again.

…

Elsewhere, in a dark underground building.

The half-fairy Amu was prostrate in front of a throne, his eyes inevitably brimming with tears.

“Amu, my child,” a low sigh came from the throne.

“Mother!” Amu pressed his body even lower, his voice trembling and sobbing.

“Lin,” the Fairy Leader on the throne, however, no longer attended to her child lying prostrate on the ground, but turned to the respectfully standing elderly half-fairy beside her.

“Madam,” Lin greeted respectfully, though he was Amu’s biological uncle and had some marital ties to the leader; still, he displayed the humility expected of a subordinate at that moment.

“Tell me about the strength of that group of wizards,” the voice from the throne was calm and authoritative.

“Madam, at the beginning, I led two children according to your orders to test the strength of that group of wizards. Their strength was roughly what we had predicted, with the female wizard apprentice leading them being a rather powerful Third-level Wizard Apprentice,” Lin bowed respectfully.

“After we had killed two weaker members of their side, Tao was injured due to the counterattack of that female wizard apprentice. However, the injury was not fatal, and we brought Tao back with us. If all had gone well, the child Tao should not have died.”

“However, it seems that the group of wizards has mastered some kind of bizarre cursing technique. Despite the extremely long distance, they directly killed little Tao and were even able to track Tao’s location. In a desperate situation, I could only…”

“Hmm.” The leader on the throne nodded slightly and then looked to the other side where there was also a slightly disheveled demi-fairy prostrating, but unlike Lin and Ah Mu who showed prominent fairy features, he looked just like an ordinary human. Only upon closer inspection could one notice the two unremarkable auxiliary ears behind his ears.

“Madam,” this demi-fairy, exuding the aura of a Third-level Wizard Apprentice, bowed respectfully.

“Wu, how is the situation on your end?”

“My situation is similar to Lin’s, facing a team led by a strong Third-level Wizard Apprentice. His normal strength should be comparable to mine. But when I showed a certain level of power, he suddenly pulled out a special witch tool that allowed him to perform attacks nearly at the level of a Formal Wizard…”

The leader listened silently, rhythmically tapping her slender and fair right hand on the armrest.

Clearly, she was contemplating the matters of those two groups of wizards.

“Qi, how is the deciphering of the relics going?” the leader turned her head to look at a somewhat aged demi-fairy.

This demi-fairy’s skin was partially decaying, resembling some type of skin disease, lacking the beauty typical of demi-fairies, instead giving off a shocking appearance.

“Madam, it has been mostly deciphered,” said the aged demi-fairy weakly. But if one were to truly consider his age, he was still in his prime among the demi-fairies.

However, due to years of suffering from a curse, he had already reached the twilight years of his life. Furthermore, tormented by the bloodline curse, he emanated a sense of death all over.

“Then… can we go in now?” The other demi-fairies showed hopeful glimmers in their eyes, even Ah Mu prostrating on the ground had a touch of anticipation in his eyes.

To lift the curse, was the most awaited event by this group of demi-fairies since they were cursed after touching the forbidden object.

“I’m afraid not,” Qi couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

“What’s the matter?!’ The leader, who had remained relatively calm during the briefing, now had a voice that had turned somewhat icy, and she emitted an aura that surpassed most of the Third-level Wizard Apprentices.

She was the absolute genius and powerhouse of this group; had it not been for the bloodline curse, she could have advanced to the level of a Formal Wizard based solely on her strength.

But now, due to the curse, not only was she stuck at the last step, preventing her from advancing, but she was also tormented day and night by the bloodline curse.

At this moment, the leader’s greatest hope was to enter the legendary Fairy Baptism Pool. But now, she had received information that was utterly unbearable to her.
