BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115 The Curse Eater
The dragon was ready to give Shin a chance and Shin wouldn\'t fail to amaze the dragon.
"How will you help me to get out of this?", the dragon asked.
Shin knew the dragon\'s status effects. Other than the fact that his stats were hidden, the status effects were being shown to him.
[ Profile ]
[ Name: ??? ]
[ Sex: Male ]
[ Race: Dragon ]
[ Earth Dragon ]
[ Status ]
[ -> Trapped ]
[ -> Starved ]
[ -> Cursed ]
[ -> Wounded ]
Three status effects had already vanished. This meant that the dragon was really ready to believe everything that Shin was saying.
Of course, the status effects could return based on the situation, but yes, Shin had no intentions of betraying the dragon.
He never learned to betray anyone in the first place also such a thought never crossed his mind.
\'Hmm, now that loneliness, anger, and frightened stats are gone…\'
\'The dragon would trust me more…\', he concluded.
\'Next is trapped, starved, cursed and wounded…\'
\'These four have to be removed as soon as possible…\'
Shin wasn\'t sure about the trapped and starved status for now. He knew that he could help the dragon get out of the solidified muddy water, but had no idea about the method of doing so.
Though, he sure knew how to help the dragon get rid of the cursed and wounded status.
Since he had the right skills for those things, he was glad because he could be of at least some help!
\'Yes, I guess these skills will be enough…\'
Shin\'s eyes started to shine all of a sudden with a green light just as they usually did when he used any skill.
\'Ding\'
[ You have used the skill Curse Eater ]
[ -> Choose a target ]
Usually, Shin would just look at the target and use the skill, but at the moment he was preoccupied thinking many things.
"Ah, it\'s the curse on the dragon slave.
The dragon made a weird expression after hearing him say that.
He failed to see the skills and stuff that Shin was using therefore for a moment he thought that Shin was crazy.
In any case, his pride was hurt when he was referred to as a slave.
\'Ding\'
[ Command Accepted ]
[ Target selected ]
[ Processing… ]
[ … ]
[ error ]
[ curse on the target is higher than the skill\'s level ]
[ failed to remove the curse ]
"Huh?", Shin didn\'t expect such a thing to happen.
His skill which had leveled up thrice was still unable to remove the curse.
Well, it made sense that the curse was strong seeing the fact that the dragon\'s power was over the top!
"I didn\'t expect such a thing to happen…", Shin said in a low voice.
He thought that he would be able to help remove the curse with ease! But it looked like that wasn\'t the case.`
\'Hmm…\', and when he was thinking of something else, another system notification appeared.
\'Ding\'
[ Specific feature of the Curse Eater can be activated ]
[ The system advises the host to use this feature ]
[ Curse Eater: #1 -> Can eat ( reduce ) the curse ]
Now, this was something good.
*gulp*
Actually, Shin could have gotten any other type of curse lifting skills such as – Curse remover, Curse lifter, etc.
But he specifically got this skill and now he finally understood why. Other skills wouldn\'t have worked if the curse would be way beyond their level.
On contrary to them, the curse eater spell would allow the host tp eat away the curse, which is quite similar to removing the curse.
This was something Shin understood and finally realized that all his skills were to given equal attention because who knows what other features could be hidden in the skills!
"What happened?"
"Have you changed your mind about helping me?", the dragon had a stern expression on his face but in reality, he expected something like this.
He knew the strength of the curse which he couldn\'t break even after such a long time so it was obvious that Shin wouldn\'t be able to free him from the curse, at least, that\'s what the dragon thought.
In any case, reducing the curse didn\'t essentially mean that the dragon would be freed completely!
"Listen…", and Shin thought that it was for the best to inform him about the situation that he was facing at the moment.
"Actually I have a skill called curse Eater but-", Shin explained to him everything and the dragon understood.
Not that he believed everything but on seeing Shin being so serious, he thought that Shin was indeed speaking the truth.
"So that means you won\'t be able to remove the curse?", the dragon asked.
Shin didn\'t reply and said, "Let me use the skill, we will know how far the skill would work…"
The dragon agreed to what he said.
"Alright, then I will be using the skill."
"Something is better than nothing…", was what Shin said because he was trying to console the dragon.
\'Ding\'
[ You have used the skill Curse Eater ]
[ The skill curse eater\'s first feature has been enabled ]
[ Analyzing… ]
Shin waited for further information. He knew that completely lifting the curse wasn\'t possible and at the same time knew that the process wouldn\'t be quick.
So he had to wait for a few minutes or even hours.
A few hours, around two hours passed by, and just as he thought, the analysis was completed and the next system notification popped up.
\'Ding\'
[ Condition has been analyzed ]
[ Curse Eater will be able to eat 30% of the curse ]
The moment Shin saw these texts, he had a bright smile on his face, however, there was no mention of anything about freeing the dragon.
He was about to ask about that when all of a sudden the system notified him on its own!
\'Ding\'
[ The Curse is identified to be a Restraint ]
[ Due to the 30% of the removal of the curse, the restraint will be temporarily lifted]
The moment Shin saw the notifications, he was filled with joy because it was exactly what he wanted!
"Yes, with this-", and just when Shin was about to tell the dragon, another notification popped up.
[ Warning ]
"…"
