BXBX NOVEL Chapter 433 The Madmans Curse
Unless one was a Timeless Sovereign like Yale, killing oneself wasn’t that difficult for an expert, so it was strange asking others to help with that.
"Start explaining everything first. Who are you? Why do you want my help to die?"
Although Yale wanted to hear about the Battle God as soon as possible, he was too shocked by the words of the madman.
"It is normal that the young master doesn’t know about me. I am just an ordinary disciple of your father. After you went to reincarnation, your father asked me to create a world here to monitor the solar system where your reincarnation was set. That happened before your father disappeared while looking for revenge."
Yale nodded as the story made sense until that point. It wasn’t strange that his father put someone to control the place where Yale would reincarnate.
"I met the Battle God about a thousand years after the creation of this world, and he gave me a message to you. The first time I met that guy I saw a vision of him being with you in some point of the future, so I asked him to tell you about the fact that I have a message from the Battle God to you."
Yale nodded again because he already thought that something like that should have happened for having a mere Law Master as the person to pass a message to him.
"The Battle God left with me an itinerary of his travel to eradicate invaders, but only a descendant of him who obtained the entire inheritance can open it, so I still don’t know about the contents. He wanted you to meet him as soon as possible after you received this."
The madman threw an envelope to Yale. Although it seemed fragile, not even an Origin God could open it forcefully.
Yale stored the envelope to check it later because he guessed that since his grandfather took the precaution to avoid others from opening the envelope, it shouldn’t be as simple as an itinerary of his travels.
"I understand your identity and why did you have a message from my grandfather, but you still need to tell me why you want to me to kill you."
Yale noticed that the madman wanted to avoid the matter, but he didn’t give up in obtaining that information.
"The truth about this request is too shameful, but I guess that the young master won’t kill me without knowing the reason..."
Since the madman saw that Yale was the one who appeared he already noticed that it was a matter of time before he would be forced to speak about it.
"You, go to sleep for a while."
Yale spoke, and his new disciple lost his consciousness.
"She is Lina, my girlfriend, and future wife. The others are Shiba, my best disciple, and Eini, my sister-in-law. As you see all of them are closely related to me, so speak without worries."
Yale could understand if the madman didn’t want to speak something shameful in front of a mere Law Master, but with him unconscious, all the rest seemed worthy of hearing the whole story.
The madman didn’t expect that the young master would have a girlfriend, but he didn’t doubt his words.
"Alright. Everything started some hundreds of years after the Battle God came here. An old friend of mine came to this planet to visit me, she was a beauty, and I always liked her, so I was quite happy that she came to this place to meet me, but now I understand how foolish I was..."
After hearing those words, everyone understood that the beautiful woman who appeared was the source of the problems of the madman, but they still didn’t understand the reasons for him asking to be killed.
"We lived together for some time, and in the end, we became a couple, which seemed like a dream for me. How could have I hoped that the girl of my dreams would love me? Of course, she didn’t love me at all, I was just being used by her, and I didn’t notice it until it was too late."
Regret and hatred appeared on the madman’s face while speaking.
"I should have noticed about her intentions when she was asking me for the place where my master and the Battle God were, but I was blind. Fortunately, I didn’t know at all, and the envelope from the Battle God was impossible to use for her, so she didn’t obtain information about them."
Hearing until that point, even an idiot would guess that there was something fishy with that girl, but a man in love sometimes is too stupid, and couldn’t see even the most obvious thing.
"However, she was careful and never asked me about the young master. Protecting the place where the young master would reincarnate was my duty, so I would have turned wary if I heard about it even if she was my girlfriend, but she also knew about that. In the end, I was just following her plans and ended up falling completely in her trap."
The hatred in the madman’s eyes increased as he continued to speak.
"Due to my absolute trust on her, she managed to slowly put a curse in my soul, a process that lasted three thousand years, but I didn’t notice about it until it was too late. This kind of curse is far too powerful and allowed her to steal all the knowledge in my soul, from my memories to my Laws and Essences. She even obtained authority to manage all the worlds I created."
The madman stopped for a second before continuing.
"If it hadn’t been for realizing about it in the last instant while I also remembered the story my master told me about what the young master did when he was a kid, I would have turned into someone who would exist only to obey that woman’s wishes. It is even worse than turning into a puppet. I would have been able to think but my thoughts would all be completely biased, and I would have been unable to think anything that was against her even if she was torturing me without reason."
Yale’s group felt cold sweat when hearing about such a curse. Yale always felt that his own curse was scary enough, but it was still better than the one received by the madman.
Of course, that kind of scary curses could only be applied through a lot of time without the other party putting any resistance, so it was strange that someone was affected by them.
"What story about me?"
Yale wanted to know how he had saved the madman from his fate.
"You sealed your true name which also affected the curse on you. I did the same to prevent the worst effects of the curse, but that wasn’t enough, so I needed to get rid of it completely. I currently don’t have a name."
Curses usually had effects on true names and some even with nicknames, so it wasn’t that strange discarding a true name to prevent a curse.
In fact, the curses weren’t something deeply developed in Yale’s universe, and the knowledge about strong curses came from the invaders who were mostly the ones using them.
Of course, there were also people who discarded names for other reasons.
"I see. I can understand your pain after having such a big curse on you, but I still don’t understand why you want me to kill you. If it is just for the curse, you should just work hard in getting rid of it. I managed to get rid of mine not too long ago."
The madman was shocked by Yale’s words, but he still shook his head.
"I am glad that the young master managed to get rid of the curse, but in my case it is impossible. This curse is far too strong, and since less than forty years ago, it is constantly devouring my soul while strengthening the one who put the curse on me. I am already giving my everything to resist, but the pace of the effects of the curse has been increasing lately, and probably I will die in two months at most. At that moment, all my power will flow to our enemies, which is something I can’t allow to happen. Thus, I want someone to destroy my soul to prevent the other party from absorbing it because killing myself would be gifting her my soul."
Yale and the rest finally understood why the madman wanted to be killed.
"What happened to that woman? For your words, she is still alive."
Yale felt that he must kill that woman to avenge the madman. After all, he was still the disciple of his father.
"I killed her with all my strength, but she managed to force a reincarnation on herself to flee. The curse had been quite quiet for a long time, so I guess that she only was reborn since the curse started to devour my soul. I damaged her soul a lot, so maybe she has yet to recover her memories, but if she devours my whole soul, she will recover quickly."
