Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 467 - 249: Methods to Restrain the Curse

"Of course I know."

Akuya’s voice was filled with a bit of arrogance.

"Please enlighten me."

"I’m not telling you. Why should I answer to you just because you ask? You’ve already offended me!"

Li Ang anticipated this kind of reaction.

Though he didn’t understand why the Dragon God, who supports the world, would have this kind of personality, based on previous behavior, this guy was just that unremarkable. Now that the opportunity arose, it was certain to make the most of it.

The Moon Concealing Rabbit continued: "You should know, those who offend me never have a good ending. I once became interested and taught at a Magic Academy on an island, giving all those bratty kids who annoyed me a zero."

This guy... really likes to play around.

"So, is there any way to make amends?" Li Ang asked.

"Hmph, wishful thinking."

The pink rabbit, having gained the upper hand, naturally seized the chance to put on airs.

"Now you want to please me, but it’s too late. You didn’t just annoy me a little; you made me angry right off the bat when we met, so you’ll need to find a toy that interests me."

"A toy? Something other than Imperial Armor, is that okay?"

According to Farina’s understanding, this dragon has many different toys; they can’t all be mechas.

"Hmph, I’m very picky."

Alright, it’s good to have a chance to ask key questions.

"Then let me keep an eye out and find a toy for Lord Water Dragon."

"Heh heh, now you know to use an honorific?"

Li Ang decided not to say more to appease this rabbit; he continued to ponder the details of the Curse Master’s tasks.

Akuya was rambling on about "respect the dragon" and similar phrases, all of which drifted past Li Ang’s ears.

Soon, Akuya realized Li Ang was just dismissively humoring it and immediately puffed out its cheeks in anger.

A rabbit managing to puff out its cheeks is quite rare.

"You must be thinking nothing good," Akuya said.

"You know again? Can divine spirits read minds?"

Li Ang could never seriously regard her as a divine spirit; it only occurred to him at this point in the conversation.

The pink-furred rabbit tapped Li Ang with its paw a few times, inflicting damage slightly stronger than a breeze.

"I remind you, if you pursue demon power blindly, you’ll end up in a bad way with your current state."

"I’m not pursuing it blindly, nor am I seeking it," Li Ang said.

"You ask about demons, and then you start getting crafty. Isn’t that what you’re thinking?"

Akuya hesitated, looking at Li Ang’s left arm with its red rabbit eyes: "Right now, if you cast any demon magic, you’ll turn into a demon."

Would the Slow Spell count? Li Ang thought.

After acquiring the Spiritual Horizon, he quickly developed Spiritual Driving, the Slow Spell, and Acceleration Technique, and as a result, quickly encountered the Bloody Hand and the true Six-Armed Demon, engaging in a confrontation using the same Curse Arts.

After being cursed, he had to use them many more times. It feels like he’s just a few uses away from turning into a demon.

From Water Dragon’s tone, he should have turned into a demon long ago given this situation. Li Ang thought maybe it’s either the resistance of a Tier Nine Curse Master or the system’s assistance.

He hoped there wouldn’t be more occasions requiring these Curse Arts before completing the task line. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Akuya continued: "What you should do now is to restrain this part of the transformation. It’s both a curse and a blessing; master this power and don’t let it run its course."

"I’m not letting it run its course; I just can’t suppress it."

Li Ang asked, "Does Lord Water Dragon know a method to limit the curse?"

"You didn’t know? Clearly, you’re a Curse Master on the verge of Legendary status."

Li Ang held back his urge to retort. "The Curse Master profession has been long lost in Nebis."

"Then why did you choose it?"

"I... never mind."

Li Ang felt the rabbit was picking a fight on purpose.

"Ah, Curse Masters. Sometimes when we open and close our eyes, the world has changed. That group back then is already in this state, with no successors? The demon residue is also incredibly hard to clear..."

The pink rabbit muttered softly for a while and then said to Li Ang: "Curse Masters are people who steal power from demons to start their path of cultivation. I’m just asking you to do what they did."

"I’m also following in their footsteps, so I plan to visit the Sanctuary of All Spirits later."

"What’s that place?"

Li Ang thought for a moment. Considering how the Six Dragons have existed for countless ages, Nebis should memorize all the islands backward and forward. This guy not knowing which island it is might be due to its different nomenclature than mortals.

After Li Ang described the location of the island, Akuya understood instantly.

"Oh, so it’s that island. You’ve got the right place. Since you already know where to go, I won’t say more. But you need to hurry."

The pink rabbit gave a positive affirmation of Li Ang’s choice after listening.

It seems the system’s advice matches the divine spirit’s view, although it’s uncertain if this playful divine spirit is reliable.

Li Ang felt she was on the verge of saying more, but when she didn’t continue, his attention shifted to Otto and Meimei.

Originally, the Moon Concealing Rabbit should have been held by a little girl, or when he was talking to the rabbit, the young girl would notice. But throughout the journey, Otto had been continuously explaining Swordsmanship knowledge to her, making it difficult for her to divert her attention.

Otto’s Sword Dao consisted of both Swordsmanship itself and the use of Water Element. As for the Water Element usage, Meimei grasped it instantly, even able to extrapolate and mention key points that Otto understood but hadn’t thought to emphasize.

In terms of Swordsmanship, she was a bit lacking compared to the Water Element, but she was still a very perceptive child. She understood the basic principles, only lacking practice.
