Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1150 - 747: Temporary Curse

[Ghosts are spiritual bodies cursed, and if you want to combat them, the only way is to get yourself cursed as well]

[Since this item allows one to be cursed in a safe manner, it's not unreasonable even to commit the blasphemy of cutting off a dead man's arm]

Anleisi looked at this thing called a [Temporary Curse], which outwardly manifested as a severed blue dead man's hand, and for a moment she didn't know what to say, as if she had lost the ability to communicate.

Why didn't she check what she picked up earlier?

If she had known earlier, she would have rummaged through her bag! The solution was in her hands!

And what kind of ghost are you exactly, Sain Dungeon, and what kind of curse have you suffered?

What sort of curse could turn a ghost into such an overpowered thing!?

Regret, reluctance, self-blame... all sorts of emotions filled the girl's mind, blaming herself for a mistake that led everyone to perish once.

Dying once wasn't a big deal; the problem was the mental damage incurred after death and the destruction of weapons and equipment, the combination of which led to a severe decline in combat power!

Because of these reasons, even though Sain Dungeon has things like bonfires and blessings that can revive adventurers, very few adventurers persist after being revived multiple times, just groups like Leon's strategy group would stubbornly persist.

The Holy Light Knights went out in a hurry this time, with no Repair Light Powder prepared, no replacement equipment ready, and no potions for soothing mental trauma. This is utterly unsuitable for dungeon exploring, especially in Sain Dungeon!

That's why dying once caused significant losses for them.

Moreover, after going out, they might even have to fight with the Starfire Church again!

Just as her overwhelming self-blame was about to morph into a monster to swallow her whole, Anna's exclamation came from beside her.

"Eek!"

Anna, too, pulled out a Temporary Curse from her bag, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "I'm sorry, everyone, it's my fault! If only I had found this sooner!"

Then two more people rummaged through their bags and found Temporary Curses; it seemed like Sain Dungeon had scattered quite a lot of these things around...

But the good thing is no one bothered to take a look at it.

Anleisi suddenly didn't feel so guilty; her mood lightened instantly.

"Do we continue exploring?" a regretful Anna asked, eager to avenge her shame now that she had the Temporary Curse.

"Let me think about it."

Anleisi stared at the Temporary Curse, a look of contemplation on her face.

It's one thing to use the Temporary Curse to cut down ghosts and avenge themselves; it's another...

"Curses... it sounds a bit sinister."

The ghost had become like that because of a so-called curse, and to battle it, one would also need to be infected by the curse. So, what is this curse's concrete manifestation?

Will using the Temporary Curse not adversely affect my body? It'd be a disaster if after cutting down all the ghosts, I find myself in a perilous situation because of this curse.

The Holy Light Church warned them to approach everything in Sain Dungeon with absolute caution. That advice might carry some bias, but better safe than sorry.

"I can't figure out what exactly the curse is on this arm, nor if it will harm humans," the perceptive Holy Light Knight in the team shook his head and told Anleisi, "Whether to use it or not, I'll leave that decision up to you."

The problem came back to Anleisi. She thought carefully and finally made a decision.

"Let's head back to the Fire Transmission Ceremony first; there's a grave there. The weapons in the grave could be used, as our weapons are all somewhat damaged. Let's go back and replace some first."

And she would use her profound control over magic to analyze the Temporary Curse and decide whether it's harmless to humans before deciding whether or not to use it.

However, this thing bears the name [Curse], so it's unlikely to be something pure.

Outside, it's estimated that Holy Light Church followers seeing this would cry heresy and blasphemy, and bringing it into the Holy Light Underground City might trigger a responsive and aggressive state.

The Holy Light Church members turned to leave, and there was no danger on the way back. With courage and determination, my friends managed to shake off the few ghosts, and resisted the mental pollution of the still animated corpses, safely returning to the Fire Transmission Ceremony.

On the way back, Anna kept thinking of something.

Ghosts, as undead creatures, are immune to physical attacks, a tale told to children everywhere, as the classic move of a ghost is to pass through walls and scare people.

To deal with undead creatures like ghosts, weapon workshops across the world, regardless of the value of the weapons forged, always incorporate a bit of magic-related stuff while forging, be it magic ore, enchantments, or even runes capable of magic power infusion, to achieve attacks on undead creatures.
