The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

40 – The Curse – 1

***

“So… What the heck is this situation?”

It suddenly flew in and caught it, but it was definitely Magi. The fact that the energy I sensed about her came from Oz Lia could also mean that she had something.

“As expected, the curse seems to be right.”

My guess was correct.

I turned my eyes to Cecile. She was still flustered, perhaps because of what happened earlier, but after receiving my gaze, she cleared her throat low and cleared the situation.

“So… Princess Ozria is cursed, and each time she uses black magic, the curse becomes stronger.”

“The more black magic is used, the stronger the curse… And even the nightmares… Um…”

There was a similar curse in Murim. As one of the curses used by the Demonic Cult, it was a curse that made the body devastated by having nightmares the more magic arts were used.

“Is there such a curse?”

“Yes.”

“You mean people of the same religion do that?”

That’s right.

But if you think about it, there was nothing strange about it.

It’s said to be the same religion, but it’s no different from one faction anyway.

It was the same whether it was the Demonic Cult or other places that trampled on others in order to rise higher.

“Then do you know how to fix it?”

“This curse is a curse that uses the dreamer… You can enter the dream and defeat the dreamer yourself.”

“You enter someone else’s dream? How?”

“Huh? Isn’t there such a thing in magic?”

“…I don’t have one? Sage Diago. Is there such a magic?”

“No.”

It’s not all about magic. I looked at the priest with a sad expression on my face, but he too just shook his head.

“Then I’ll do it the way I know.”

One of the witchcrafts of the Mosan Sect is a witchcraft called Clearing Dreams. By using it, you can enter the dream of the sleeping person.

And if you defeat the dreamer in that dream, you can lift the curse.

“There are all kinds of magical magic.”

“Originally used for training.”

It is a spell created to make you grow faster by training even in your dreams.

Of course, some people have learned to clear their dreams in order to do naughty things that have no answer.

“It’s a kind of lucid dream.”

“Yes. It’s convenient when you look at it that way. Now, let’s wake the princess up first.”

We woke up the sleeping princess. She opened her eyes slowly, looked at us with a worse expression than before, and said with difficulty.

“I had another nightmare…”

“Yes. I saw it. That. We thought it was a curse.”

“Curse…?”

It was an expression of disbelief. Diego Sage seriously asked her as she hesitated and chewed her lips.

“Princess. Have you ever had a grudge?”

“I’m buying a lot of grudges.”

Especially because she is in a position to participate in the succession of the heir to the Empire, she said briefly.

“But a curse… I’ve checked so far and there’s no sign of a curse.”

“Cheonyeong said there is a curse that is small at first but grows bigger as you use special powers. Princess. When did you start using black magic?”

“From the year before last.”

“Did you start having nightmares?”

“From last year…”

“Who did you learn black magic from?”

There was no answer this time. Is it something you want to hide? Diego groaned for a moment before speaking in a stern tone.

“Did you make a contract with the devil?”

“Oh, no. mmm… You’re not going to get mad, are you?”

“I’ll listen and decide.”

“Haa… Actually, I learned it through the Dark Magician in Imperial Vigo.”

What is that? But looking at Diego’s expression, I thought it wasn’t the normal way.

“How else did you find the black magic book in Imperial Vigo?”

Perhaps because of Diego’s hard face, Ozria shrank even more. It’s so embarrassing to see someone who looks so sick like that.

“That, that’s…”

“Let’s go. We’ll ask you about the details later. First of all, isn’t it important to lift the curse?”

“Can you break the curse? How?”

I told you a story we shared earlier. When she heard about the dreamy texture, she put on a questioning expression, but she knew better that now was not the time to cover hot rice with cold rice.

“What should I do?”

“It’s simple. Just chant the spell to clear the dream and go to sleep.”

“…Really simple. But I wonder if I can sleep…”

Ah. Insomnia. I thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“It’s okay. I’ll teach you how to resolve the dream first.”

He taught me how to clear a dream with a total of 120 characters. Princess Ozria, Cecil, and Diego were all smart, so she memorized them all after hearing them once. It’s great too.

“Then, let’s concentrate and memorize Dream Clearing.”

“Okay.”

As Oz Lia recited the Dream, I moved her hand. Took. A slap on the back of her neck made Ozria limp like a doll with her thread cut.

“………”

“…What did you do?”

“I slept.”

Because fainting, sleeping, and losing consciousness are the same.

I looked at the two of them with a smile.

“If you have memorized the Clearing the Dream together, you can enter the dream when you fall asleep together here. If you want, you can also reclaim it.”

“…Sah, please take care of me.”

Cecile seemed determined to go. I moved her hand towards her with her tense expression, and Cecile immediately collapsed as well.

“Sage Diego…”

“I’ll let you see the situation from the outside.”

“Then, please.”

I sat cross-legged and closed my eyes. And calmly took a breath.

How long has it been?

I’m starting to fall asleep.

As soon as I accepted it without rejecting it, the place I was standing began to change.

“Oh. This is it.”

It was Goseong. Cecile was waiting with arms crossed in front of the huge castle exuding a dreary atmosphere.

“Is this her nightmare?”

“I guess so. Come on. Let’s go.”

There was something that caught my spirit. Weak spirits. Maybe this is Ozria. Not long after entering the castle with Cecil, I found Ozria squatting in the corner.

“Ah…”

It was an awkward expression. Is it pleasure or joy? Or anxiety. Looking up at us with her inexpressible face, she slowly lowered her head and brought it between her two knees together.

“…I can’t… I can’t.”

“What can’t you do?”

“Have you failed?”

“The dream resolution itself seems to have been successful. Seeing that we entered this dream… It seems that the lucid dream went well.”

“…I just met the owner of this castle. We won’t be able to defeat the owner of the castle…”

What I feel in the spirit: Of the two auras, one huge one was wandering around the castle, and the other was stopped at the top of the castle.

“Was the owner of the castle wandering around?”

Nodding. After hearing the circumstances, he met the owner of the castle while going up to the top of the castle after having a lucid dream.

I thought it would be different this time and fought, but it is said that I was defeated and fell to this point without using my full strength.

“Then let’s take a look. They say it’s so strong, so I wonder how strong it is.”

“By the way, who owns the castle?”

“…Terubian brother.”

Who is that? I looked at Cecile and she slightly frowned at her.

“The 2nd Prince. He is the person who is considered closest to the position of the current emperor.”

“Princess Ozria. Did you always think that you couldn’t defeat Prince Terubian?”

“…No. I can win. I can win…”

But you keep losing in your dreams. If so, he seemed to know who put the curse on him.

“Did the prince appear in your usual nightmare?”

“Yes…”

“Does it make you have nightmares about losing continuously in your dreams and keep you away from the right of succession…”

“You can say that. I don’t know if it’s a dream once or twice, but if it’s repeated, it will affect reality.”

-Kooung!! Coo!! Coo!!

A loud noise is heard. At the end of the hallway. Ozria’s expression hardened at the sound of footsteps coming from the dark space. When her trembling Cecil, who had soothed her as she searched for a place to hide, pointed her wand into the darkness.

“hahahahaha!! Here you are! You coward!!”

There was someone running from the hallway. He was a vicious man. From the wriggling muscles to the mighty energy flowing from the whole body.

A ghastly aura gleamed in his eyes, and sharp-looking swords were in his arms.

“I have to kneel down to this older brother!!”

“Kyaaa!”

“You… Beat me for the rest of my life… Yay!!”

Noisy Siri.

I stretched out my fist at the one who rushed at me, and the one I hit rolled to the floor.

“Khhhhh… Uh, how can I…”

From nob le mt l dot com

Nothing special.

If you use Dream Resolution, you will not be bound by dreams. In other words, a story that can move like in reality.

So after hitting the dreamer who had changed into the form of a prince, I swung my sword at the guy who staggered up.

– Sudden!!

“Oh my God… I can’t…”

After seeing the dream horse split in half and disappearing into ashes, I said to Ozria, who was looking at me and her dream horse with a puzzled expression.

“To overcome this curse, you must defeat the Dream Demon yourself.”

“Ha, but now you’ve defeated the dreamer.”

“Don’t worry.”

I have confirmed other strong auras that can be caught in the mood. As long as there is that energy at the top of the castle, the dream demon will continue to appear.

After hearing my words, Ozria’s expression was full of anxiety. hahahaha. But even so, it’s no use.

“Let’s go all the way to the end of the castle. Please check how weak the dreamer is as you go.”
