"Come on! You can control the Anti-Curse, right? Use it on me." Brian asked confidently in his tone. If his body was protected by the Anti-Curse, he could easily use the Cursed Hand for a few seconds.
"T---a-ta-but, my physical strength is not enough. I may become unable to stand for a while." Tempest knows that he can do more than others. He could even defeat everyone with a single word, but he could not bear the consequences of such attacks or magic.
His body is quite fragile. And that he knows more than anyone. Brian sighed and placed both his hands on his shoulders.
"Come here, I know it will be hard to endure the pain, but you don't have to worry about your life. Dave is a barbarian. He can easily protect you. My class is a Witch and my first class ability is the Cursed Hand. With this ability, I can reduce the power of my enemy by half."
"But, the power of the curse will also affect me. So, if you use the Anti-Curse, it won't have any effect on me. And, I will be able to use my abilities for a long time. As soon as their strength decreased, I, SilverTongue, and Ms. Sherly can easily beat them."
"So, you agree, son?"
"Y-y-y-yeah!" Tempest tightened his fists and gathered a little courage. He raised both hands and touched Brian's. He closed his eyes and mana gathered in his mouth. The amount of mana gathered in his mouth was amazing, almost double what it is today.
"Anti-Curse!"
"Well!"
Brian's hand glowed red and a strange force entered his body. However, a moment later, Tempest coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
"Dave, I'm handing him over to you."
Brian walked towards SilverTongue as he continued, "I'm not sure if this Anti-Curse can survive until I touch every wolf, so start the battle as soon as I start."
SilverTongue nodded and praised himself for getting Brian to join his team. He did not expect Brian to choose the Warlock class. This is like a Book Reader class, but they are not a burden to the team, but rather to themselves.
Brian took a deep breath and activated his Cursed Hand. Slowly, the purple color from which began to shine from his hands, and also the dark color that shone on his feet. It was like his feet were drowning in dark water.
"Class Capability - Cursed Hands"
"Shadow Escape"
Whoosh!
His body was blurry in front of SilverTongue, and a flash later he had already disappeared. His body slid on the ground, moving towards the wolf. Before they even realized it, Brian's hands had already started touching one by one of them.
Pat's! Pat's! Pat's! Pat's!
His hands hit the buttocks or the face of every wolf as he crossed them. But the wolf did not remain silent. Some wolves instantly sensed his presence and immediately launched his claws at him.
Use the Cursed Hand or hold on!
The splash! The splash! The splash! The splash!
Use the Cursed Hand, that's what he chose. After all, he could still recover his health, but he could not recover from the effects of the curse if he used it twice.
Whoosh!
[Your enemies have been exposed to the Cursed Hand]
[Enemy status has dropped by as much as fifty percent over the next ten seconds]
[......]
[Overdestructive power! 10 MP is used]
[The Curse are affecting the Host!]
Thud!
After using the Cursed Hand on all the wolves, Brian reached the other end of the wolf pack where he was alone. He found several panels appearing in front of him while covered in blood. He tried to look at the panel but his eyes grew increasingly blurred.
'Stamina? This curse really affected my stamina. Originally, the Cursed Hand only used 5 MP but currently used 10 MP. I thought I was really forcing myself. But, I can't stop now.'
"Yellow Lightning!"
On the other hand, Sherly took out a wand with a crystal on its top. He pointed his staff at the wolves and released his mana using a skill.
Swhooshes! Crack it!
Mana currents from his body flowed into his staff and came out in the form of yellow-colored lightning. Yellow Lightning slid towards the wolf and hit it. Electric shocks from lightning damage their cells but do not kill them all.
"Tiger Fangs!"
At this moment, a slashing sword unleashed the wild spirit of a tiger. Tiger claws manifested to take the lives of the wolves.
The splash! The splash! The splash! The splash!
In a single slash, SilverTongue managed to take down nearly five wolves with his attack. But, it's not over. Ten seconds, they only had 10 seconds until the effect was gone.
"Yellow Lightning" "Tiger Fangs" "Yellow Lightning" "Tiger Fangs"
The dentum! Cras! The dentum! Cras! The dentum! Cras!
"Class Capability - Spirit Bomb!"
Sherly screams as she collects a blue ball at the end of her wand using mana. His mana is over. After gathering mana into a blue ball, he threw the blue ball towards the remaining wolves.
Booms!
When the blue ball hit the ground, the blue ball exploded, but only unleashed a powerful shockwave, sending the wolves bouncing away. But that's enough. Because beginners cannot rely on themselves for everything. Low mana, lacking skills, low strength, with all of this, they had no choice but to rely on others.
"of course! This is also my last attack."
"Class Capabilities - Frenzied Sword Slash!"
Cras! Cras! Cras! Cras! Cras!
SilverTongue moved with incredible speed as he swung his sword. He was moving in the air but his body changed direction by just touching his sword. It was not his own mastery, but rather thanks to the system, he was able to move quickly and cut down nearly ten wolves.
However, when he tried to cut the remaining ones, the mana dropped to zero. He fell to the ground along with the other wolves. However, unlike him, the wolves were not out of battle condition. Actually, once they landed, they immediately pounced on him.
"Damn! My mana's up. DragonRider97 was also severely injured while using his abilities. He won't be able to fight. Should I call Dave? But, if he made a move, a single strike could take the life of Tempest. Damnit damnit! I can only rely on myself."
'I may run out of mana, but I'm still a soldier. I still have a sword. I can still fight.' SilverTongue bit his teeth and slowly rose to his feet. He grasped his sword and catapulted it against the wolf. In contrast to before, his movements were too slow and already ten seconds had passed.
Ka-cha! Cras!
His sword managed to push the wolf away, but the next wolf suddenly pounced on him from the side and scratched his skin. The wolf landed on the ground with a red-blooded claw while SilverTongue gritted his teeth while trying to stand up.
Isn't this just a game? Can't you create a new character? So, why? For different people, their reasons are different. For SilverTongue, he could not die. He can't wait. He can't lose.
'I still have a sword. I don't need any mana. The courage of a soldier is still inside me.' SilverTongue shouted his courage inwardly and pierced his sword. His feet stomped on the ground so hard that his sword pierced through the wolf's neck before it could dodge.
Cras! Cras!
However, suddenly another wolf scratched his back. He staggered forward as his grip became weak. He could barely open his eyes until something appeared before his eyes.
'Sister, why are we moving here? Are we really selling our house?'
'Actually, I plan to make an investment. If this investment is successful, not only can you buy a house back, but also cure you.'
"Cure Mother? Did ya? But. they said it would take ten houses to heal."
"Well, that's why it's called investing. Do you know who the richest man in the world is?"
"Hm... Not those from the Universal Martial Alliance?"
"Yes, so why are they rich?"
"Because they're very, very strong."
"Yes, that's why your brother invested in becoming stronger. If your brother becomes stronger, he can join UMA and become rich. Then, we can move back to our house and also heal Mom."
"Well! My brother will eventually become stronger. Gosh."
"Now, let's eat something!"
"Sister.. Can we eat something else? We've been eating instant noodles for so long."
"Two days! Give your brother two days and we'll have a steak party."
"really?"
"Yes, trust your brother."
"All right! I'll trust you, brother."
As those words echoed in his mind, he suddenly tightened his grasp. He drew out his sword and swung it with all his strength.
"That's how! I can't break my promise here. My sister's having a steak party tomorrow."
Giving her little sister a better life, healing her mother, and being debt free. He has no time to die. He had no time to give up. He doesn't have time.
Grp!
As his sword unsheathed the attack on the wolf, another wolf leaped from behind. He tried to move, but his grip on the sword grew weaker. Until the moment he turned around, the wolf's claw came to his face.
"I'm really an incompetent brother."
Taps! Swooshes! Bam! Bruk! Bruk! Bruk!
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him and caught the wolf's claws. He turned the wolf around and threw it on the ground.
"Thank you for helping me level up, SilverTongue. Now, let me take care of the rest!"
