The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

41 – Curse – 2

As we climbed to the top of the castle, the dream horse, which changed its appearance into a Terubian, continued to appear. Of course, that didn’t stop us in our tracks.

It was because he was knocked down not only by me but also by Cecile’s magic.

“You’re weaker than I thought?”

“Now. Let Princess Ozria catch it herself.”

“Me, me?”

It is a dream that has already become a terror to her. That’s why saying that you have to catch her yourself is bound to be a burden. But it was necessary.

This kind of curse can be done only once if you defeat the enemy once.

She was the one who hesitated for a while, but she nodded her head slightly, probably because Cecil and I had defeated the prince.

“Now we are almost at the top. It looks like the dreamer is also waiting there, so let’s go.”

“…What if I lose?”

“The curse is unbreakable.”

The curse cannot be lifted if Ozria is defeated and surrenders to her dreams. And maybe forever she will have no choice but to suffer under the curse.

“You talk like a stranger.”

“Because it’s someone else’s business.”

The important thing is for Ozria to defeat the dreamer. If I wear it, the dreamer is a blow, so it won’t help her much to overcome her curse.

“I just ask for your support.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps it was Cecil who was wise enough to notice the reason for my non-participation. She clenched her fists lightly and looked at Ozria as they bloomed.

It seemed that hesitation and fear were still present, but Cecil and I had lightly defeated the Dream Demon so far, and she seemed to have gained courage from being behind her.

“Thank you very much. Professor Cecil. Instructor Cheonyeong.”

Come on. So, is the only thing left to do now?

We hurried our steps again and eventually reached the top of the castle.

It was a large space.

In the center was a golden throne, and there was a person wearing a golden crown and sitting in a relaxed posture.

Terubian. No, to be precise, it was a dream demon clinging to Ozria’s dreams.

“I didn’t expect it to come this far. It’s quite good.”

He got up slowly. Then he pulls out the sword he was wearing at his waist and pulls out the sword.

“You stupid and pitiful little brother. I will give you a lesson today.”

– Awesome.

Seeing her sword skills, Ozria bit her lip to overcome her fear. Her red blood runs down, but there is a light in her eyes.

“…I will win!!”

“hahahahaha!! Come!!”

The battle was fierce, but to put it simply, it was Ozria’s victory.

Until now, Cecile and I had defeated the dream demon and Ozria’s fear had faded, so it was only natural to defeat her dream demon.

“Kheuheouk…”

Ozria approached the dreamer who was completely rags and stole the coffin from his head. I pick it up and go to her throne. The moment she sits down, the area around her begins to turn white.

The dream will end.

“What’s going on now?”

“Now that you have overcome the nightmare, the curse will be lifted. But…”

“Just?”

“This method is similar to the curse used in Murim.”

Quite a few things have changed, but looking at the overall framework, it was quite similar to the curse used in the Demonic Cult.

That means that the person who wrote this curse knows the methods of the Demonic Cult…

Has the magic book come over to this world?

Coming to think of it, there was nothing particularly strange about it.

Magyo and blood religion were enemies of each other. In the process of fighting between the two, it is not particularly strange that the Magician’s book came over here by means of the strange skill of the Blood Bridge.

The only thing I’m curious about is who modified the magic ball in this way.

“Let’s go out of the dream for now.”

When the surroundings turned completely white, Cecile closed her eyes, and I too. When I opened my eyes, I was out of a dream.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes. The curse has been granted.”

“That’s a relief…”

“Rather than that, Sage Diago. You said you were the imperial mage, right?”

“But… Why but?”

I said what I had been thinking about earlier, and Diago groaned with his arms crossed with a serious expression on his face.

In the meantime, Ozria, who had woken up, looked at us alternately with a much improved complexion.

“My body… Has gained strength.”

“It’s because the curse is lifted. If you eat well and sleep well, you’ll be able to return to the past.”

“…Thank you. Really.”

“Say something.”

It wasn’t particularly difficult. I looked at Diago again, and he seemed to be thinking for a while before opening his mouth shyly.

“This curse was created based on technology from another dimension… The academy, or…”

“Or?”

“As expected, it’s only about the black alchemists.”

Is it them again? Now, if something really happens, I think I’ll just take the black alchemist.

After hearing Diago’s words, the priest showed a clear expression of bewilderment.

“According to the testimony of the former Black Alchemist, I heard that they are also conducting research on the dimension quite consistently.”

“Yes… They said they are doing dimensional research to prove the existence of God.”

Proof of God’s existence. Are you talking about the creator who left for another dimension?

It’s a complicated story.

It is also a story of no interest to me, who has no interest in the gods of this world.

“Well, let’s say that’s the case. Anyway, since the curse was lifted, the curse must have returned to the person who applied it. If you investigate the imperial family, you will find someone who suffers from the curse that returned as a reaction. That person is the curse. Since you are the one who bet on it, please take care of that part on your own.”

“Aren’t you helping me with that part?”

“Isn’t there a saying not to get close to power struggles from ancient times.

Oz Lia looked pretty sorry, but she was sincere.

Cecile also shook her head, apparently not intending to intervene up to that point.

“As an academy instructor, helping the cadets ends here.”

“…I see. I understand. Thank you. You have been of great help. Professor Cecil and Instructor Cheonyoung. I will never forget this kindness.”

Thank you for thinking that way.

I finished my work and returned to the lab with Cecil. Maybe he was thinking about something earlier, but Cecile didn’t say anything.

I didn’t have anything to say either, so I sat quietly, but she stood up as if she had finished organizing her thoughts.

“Cheonyeong. Because of this, the Empire may offer you a recruitment.”

“I’m sure.”

There is a high possibility of this, especially in factions that follow Ozria. But she has no intention of going there and doesn’t want to get involved in something like a succession battle.

When she was in Moorim, she did it once and was mortified.

She doesn’t have to go through the same failure again.

“For now, you’re back in the territory. I think we’ll have to stop experimenting for a while… Classes, well, somehow.”

“I can do as much as I refuse the invitation. Lord Cecil. The lord has many things to do, so you don’t have to be too considerate of me.”

Even though Cecil is the lord, what is the reason why she can’t work as a lord and only clings to the academy?

No matter how brilliant she is, it must be because her work at the academy is difficult.

In the meantime, if she goes as far as rejecting the recruiting offer to me, the burden on her will increase.

“If you really want to do something for me, I would like to visit the manor more often when you have free time.”

“Hmm… That must be a lot of trouble. Will you be okay?”

“hahahahaha. Is there anything special? If you refuse moderately, it will go back on its own. And if there is someone who is quarreling with you…”

“…Don’t push it too hard. It could become an international problem.”

“Okay. I’ll take care of it myself.”

I said that two days ago, but in just two days, dozens of letters have already arrived. Most of them were invitations to balls, teatimes, and parties.

“This is truly terrifying.”

“Look at that. Didn’t I say it wouldn’t be easy? So. What are you going to do?”

The way to deal with this is simple. After reading the letters, I gathered them together and tossed them into the fire.

“They handle it ignorantly.”

“But it’s simple.”

Because that’s what I regret. If I ignore it a few times like this, they will find out my intentions and stop approaching me.

Of course, my reputation may suffer in the process, but…

What does it matter if the empire loses its reputation? I am from the kingdom of Otland.

“Looking at you, thinking about things is so stupid…”

A smile hung on Cecil’s lips. I smiled at her and nodded her head.

“Sometimes the simplest things become the truth.”

Isn’t there a saying that the Tao is not far away?

She giggled when I told her, recalling her famous quote from Moorim, but she flinched and stared blankly at me.

“What did you say?”

“Sometimes the simple becomes the truth?”

“…Yeah. Keep it simple. It might be better to keep it simple.”

Have you learned something here? After a moment of hesitation, she quickly started working on something. And how long has it been

“Ahahahahaha! How does this work?”

What did you do? After creating an unknown jewel, she smiled and came to me and grabbed my hand.

“Thanks!! Thanks to you, the problem I’ve been struggling with for days has been easily solved!”

“…What did I do?”

“There is! Something like that! Ahahahahaha!”

She smiled broadly and hugged me.

As she held me in my arms, I could feel her pleasant scent like the scent of peaches.
