Fantasy Simulator Chapter 338 – Curse Energy

Standing there, the two people could clearly sense the suffocatingly terrifying curse energy in their bodies.

Before, the curse energy in their bodies was already running rampant.

Now, the curse energy became exceptionally active, and it seemed like it would directly devour them and turn them into monsters.

“Arghhh!”

The scales on Yang Cheng's body became even denser, and his face began to become savage.

As for the young man, his appearance was still somewhat normal, and he was not as bad as Yang Cheng just yet.

However, changes were taking place within his body.

A tearing sound sounded out, accompanied by an immense wave of pain.

Sensing this, he instinctively raised his hand and then froze.

On his palm, changes were happening.

A golden eye had opened up on his palm.

“The curse in my body… has also exploded out…”

Looking at the eye on his palm and sensing the surging curse energy in his body, the young man felt terror and then acceptance.

The situation was already this bad; so what if the curse in his body broke out?

Things could not get any worse anyways.

By the side, sounds of struggle sounded out.

He turned and saw that Yang Cheng had fallen to the ground, writhing in agony.

Seeing this, the young man was not too surprised.

After all, when curse energy exploded out, people would feel extreme pain, as well as all kinds of negative emotions.

Under the effects of curse energy, very few people could endure it.

The two of them were already among the best.

“What a pity…”

Thinking to there, the young man sighed and felt that it was a pity.

He did not fear death.

It should be said that ever since he accepted curse energy and brought it into his body, he no longer viewed himself as a living person.

For people with curse energy, living was just torture.

Even if they died here, it was just a form of release.

It was a pity that the Cursed Item that they had desperately tried to bring out from the Cursed Land would not be able to be brought out.

Everything that they had done had been in vain.

Moreover, there was also the situation with this Cursed Land.

This Cursed Land was no ordinary Cursed Land; it contained terrifying power, which could threaten an entire city.

The reason why they wanted to leave, apart from wanting to bring the Cursed Item out, was because they hoped to bring out news about this Cursed Land.

If they could spread this news, the government's people would take this place seriously and deal with it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if this Cursed Land was allowed to continue to develop, it would become unstoppable.

Thinking to there, the young man felt quite reluctant.

On the side, Yang Cheng's cries continuously sounded out.

Behind them, the heavy footsteps came closer and closer.

The surroundings were completely silent, to the point that the young man could hear his own heartbeat.

The young man silently closed his eyes and waited for the end.

However, even after a while, he still did not feel any pain.

Not only that, his curse energy and heartbeat had all gradually calmed down.

Sensing this, the young man felt quite confused and slowly opened his eyes.

Following this, a shocking scene appeared before him.

In the surroundings, the fog was still quite dense, but within this area, another figure had appeared.

That figure was not very tall, and compared to the massive monster, he looked quite small.

Why had a boy appeared in a place like this?

Footsteps sounded out as that person drew closer.

The fog in the surroundings gradually dissipated, and the aura that had locked on to the two people was also fading.

As the fog dissipated, that figure's appearance was revealed.

Seeing this, the young man opened his eyes wide, trying to see who it was.

It was a boy who was around 15 or 16 years old.

His appearance was quite handsome, and he wore a white shirt as he calmly walked over with a faint smile.

He looked quite ordinary, but there was a strange energy covering his body, seeming warm and holy.

Before he had come, this region had been filled with fog and curse energy, seeming incredibly terrifying.

However, after he had arrived, this place seemed to have become purified.

Seeing this boy, the young man felt an air of holiness from him.

He could sense that this boy was like a divine being.

As the boy approached, the berserk curse energy seemed to have become terrified and retreated.

The golden eye on his palm also disappeared.

Not too far away, a howl sounded out.

The young man instinctively turned, and he saw that this region had gone through changes. As the boy approached, the fog in the surroundings continuously dissipated.

The massive figure that had been in the fog had also disappeared; it seemed like it had been destroyed to the point that not even a trace was left.

“This…”

Seeing this, the young man stared for a while before coming back to his senses.

At this point, he thought of something.

Before, he had wondered how Yang Cheng had been able to survive despite his curse breaking out.

Now, he was no longer confused.

It seemed that this was the boy Yang Cheng had encountered, who had suppressed the curse in his body.

With this boy's strength, a curse breaking out was most likely not a big deal at all.

He was like a god who had descended, his entire being filled with holy power which suppressed the curses.

No matter how powerful or terrifying a curse was, it was not much in front of him.

That was what the young man thought when he saw that boy.

At that moment, he felt great shock as well as curiosity.

“Just who is he? And what is that energy?”

He could sense that the energy the boy gave off was completely opposite to curse energy, and it gave off a wonderful feeling.

Undoubtedly speaking, this kind of energy had never existed before. Otherwise, they would not have paid such a great price to fight with the curses.

Just who was this boy?

“Looks like your conditions are not very good,” Chen Heng looked at the two of them as he spoke softly.

Yang Cheng was lying there, gasping for breath; he looked like he had lost consciousness.

Chen Heng was not unfamiliar with him—he remembered that this was the person he had left his mental mark on.

He just did not expect that after half a month, he would be in this state again.

Moreover, he seemed even worse off this time.

However, this did not matter.

Standing there, Chen Heng shook his head and waved his hand.

Although ordinary people could not see it, a trace of black aura was grabbed by him tightly in his hand.

His Divinities within his body became active, and as the black aura disappeared, some new inscriptions appeared on his Divinities.

Sensing this, Chen Heng nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to last time, the two people's conditions were even worse, and he had gained even more.

Of course, there was another reason for this. When that monster had died, Chen Heng's Divinities had grown even more.

“Can you give me an explanation?”

He looked at the two people as he asked, “I'm quite curious about your conditions.”

Looking at the delirious Yang Cheng, the young man hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“It's like this…”

After a while, within a café, the young man looked at Chen Heng as he spoke.

Because his injuries had been too serious, Yang Cheng was still not awake, so it was just the young man talking with Chen Heng.

For Chen Heng, he did not mind.

After all, no matter who it was, he would still be able to get information out of them.

“Curse energy… Cursed Lands…”

Looking at the young man, Chen Heng thought to himself, “So it's like that.”

Just then, the young man had told Chen Heng many things.

In this world, there were existences called curses.

They had existed since ancient times, and at first, they had not been a great threat.

However, as time passed, the Cursed Lands had started to appear more and more frequently, and more and more curses appeared.

This young man and Yang Cheng were the victims of this.

The things they had encountered before were undoubtedly curses.

“What about your bodies?” Chen Heng asked.

“That's another matter…”

Hearing Chen Heng's words, the young man gave a bitter smile as he said, “In this world, the origin of curses is very mysterious.

“No one knows where the Cursed Lands came from, but the harm they can cause is quite evident.

“Those things cannot be destroyed through ordinary means: Whether it is flames, swords, or guns, they can not deal any damage to them.

“As such, in the past, people have always been quite passive against curses, and they could not do much against being tormented and killed by curses.

“Only after some time did people discover a way to resist curses.”

“Using curses to resist curses?” Chen Heng smiled as he asked.

“That's right,” the young man sighed as he nodded.

“In order to resist curses, we have to use the power of curses. In this world, the only thing that can resist curses are curses themselves.

“As such, we embedded a portion of curses into ourselves and used our willpower to subdue them, gaining the power to resist curses…”

As he spoke, he stretched out an arm and pulled up his sleeve.

Compared to ordinary people, his arm was very terrifying.

There were many small eyes on his arm, looking very striking.

“Just as you can see,” the young man gave a bitter smile as he said, “this arm of mine came from a curse. After taking in this arm, I gained some curse energy, allowing me to fight curses.”

“I'm sure such a thing will often result in problems,” Chen Heng thought for a moment before picking up his cup of coffee as he spoke.

“That's right,” the young man nodded before saying, “The curses do not belong to us, and they cannot fully fuse with our bodies.

“As such, as time passes, those who have taken in curses will gradually be corroded by them, eventually turning into part of the curses. At first, it is not too bad and will just cause people to occasionally lose their reason.

“However, as time goes on, the effects will become more and more severe until one becomes a demon who merely looks like a human. When the corrosion reaches the late stage, we will end up in the state that you saw us in before.”

Sitting there, the young man deeply breathed in before saying, “The curses will try to break out and devour our bodies, causing us to become completely new curses.

“If you had not come just then, we would have already become curses.”

Hearing his words, Chen Heng fell silent.

From what the young man had said, he had learned many things.

Firstly, this was this world's energy system.

This world did not have its own energy system, so in order to resist curses, they had to take in curse energy.

Moreover, even though the so-called curses seemed quite simple, they were quite high-level existences.

This was quite natural.

After all, if it was not something high-level, it would not cause the Divinities to react, nor could it be absorbed to be converted into new law energy.

Anything that the Divinities could absorb and convert represented this world's most fundamental laws and energies.

For the curse energy to be able to do this, its nature was quite high-level.

Even if this world had its own energy system, it most likely would not be able to resist the curses.

However, for Chen Heng, it seemed that he would be able to exploit this.

“Is it still possible to go through that passageway that you used before?” Chen Heng thought for a moment before asking.

“It's not possible to enter anymore,” the young man gave a bitter smile as he replie
