Chapter 168 A Troublesome Aura 2
"What's going on? Everyone's asleep."
Seeing everyone in the village like this, Shutark was completely at a loss.
"There's a sense of trouble going on. Let's head to the next village."
Looking at the scene, Frilian knew that this matter was troublesome. Of course, it was a bit troublesome for her, but that was all. It was just that she was too lazy to do it, especially since Shi Yichen was also there.
"Lady Frilian, I'm getting angry."
Philon looked at Frilian with a serious expression. Philon believed that if he wasn't there, Frilian would really leave the village.
"I was just kidding."
Frilian looked at Philon, who had a serious expression, and said that if Philon hadn't been there, she really would have left immediately. It's better to avoid trouble. That's what Frilian was thinking.
"This is a curse."
Zain used magic to analyze the unconscious people and discovered that they were all under a curse.
"As expected, this is really troublesome. Yichen, do you have a solution?"
Upon hearing Zain's words, Frilian couldn't help but sigh; it was indeed troublesome.
Curses are generally very difficult to remove. There are only two ways: either find a way to remove the curse or get rid of the person who cast it.
"Let me see, this should be how to break the curse."
Shi Yichen reached out and aimed at the fallen villager. A beam of holy light flashed, and the villager's pulse gradually returned to normal. It would take some time before he woke up.
"Lord Shi Yichen, the curse has been lifted."
Seeing the villagers' pulses return to normal, Philon was somewhat surprised, never expecting that Shi Yichen had broken the seemingly intractable curse so easily.
"Frilian, what is the curse?"
As a warrior, Shutark knew nothing about magic and couldn't help but ask Frilian.
"Among the magic used by monsters and demons, some can put people to sleep or petrify them. The magic that humans cannot yet explain is called a curse. Human magical technology cannot analyze its principles or find a way to break it."
Frilian patiently explained to Hughtark that since Shi Yichen had a way to lift the curse here, she could finally slack off and it wouldn't hurt to explain to Hughtark.
"So, this village is beyond saving?"
Because he had been a bit far from Shi Yichen and the others, Hughtark hadn't heard Philon say that the curse had been lifted, and looked at Frilian with a worried expression.
"Human magic simply can't solve it, but monks can use the goddess's magic, so it's a different story. Dealing with curses has always been a job that monks rely on for their livelihood."
Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and Zain. There were two people in this team who knew the goddess's magic. Shi Yichen was the goddess's favorite daughter, and Zain was a genius monk.
"It works as expected, next..."
Shi Yichen originally just wanted to try using the Holy Light, but he didn't expect it to work so well. Since it worked, things became easier.
Shi Yichen closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in devout prayer when a huge figure radiating holy light appeared in the sky above the village.
Behind that figure, a pair of wings radiating holy light slowly unfurled, illuminating the entire village and beginning to lift the curse from all the villagers.
If you look closely through the holy light, you will find that the figure radiating holy light is none other than Shi Yichen.
"By the goddess above."
Seeing this sacred scene, Zain knelt down devoutly, put his hands together, and began to pray for the goddess.
The dazzling holy light was so intense that even Philon couldn't help but pray to the figure radiating holy light in the sky.
"This is the magic of the goddess."
Frilian looked at the figure radiating holy light in the sky and spoke to Shutark.
"What's the difference between the goddess's magic and other magic?"
Shutark knew absolutely nothing about magic, so he had to ask about everything.
"The goddess's magic is recorded in the sacred texts, and only the holder of the sacred texts can use it. Most of it is the same as demonic magic, and the principles behind it are still a mystery, so it's not very interesting."
Frilian explained to Hugh Tark why the goddess's magic was superior to all other magic, because it was magic created by the goddess, magic belonging to the gods.
The reason Frilian wasn't interested in goddess magic was because she couldn't decipher it. Deciphering a goddess spell could take thousands of years, and there was no guarantee of success.
"Then why is Shi Yichen able to use the goddess's magic even though he is not a monk?"
Shutark looked at Frilian, puzzled. Neither Frilian nor Philen had told Shutark about Shi Yichen, and given Shutark's careless nature, he wouldn't care about such things.
“Yi Chen is different. She is a special being. She can use all the magic of the goddess.”
Frilian only told Shutark this much; that was enough for him to know, and he didn't need to know anything else.
"Furthermore, without innate 'aptitude,' it's difficult to use this kind of magic. This aptitude also has the effect of resisting curses; I remember it's called the blessing of a goddess, so monks generally have very strong resistance to curses."
Frilian was referring to Zain when she said that. Zain is that kind of qualified person, as you can see from the time when Shutark was bitten by a snake.
Zain's brother was helpless against Shutark's injuries, but Zain healed them with ease; this was the talent that Frilian spoke of.
"So, even you, Frilian, can't defend against the curse?"
Shutark looked at Frilian. In his eyes, Frilian was a powerful mage who should be able to defend against curses and similar magic.
"No, after all, mages can't sense curses, but they can vaguely feel themselves being attacked."
The mention of curses reminds Frilian of the scene six hundred years ago when she faced Shurahart's magic of turning everything into gold. Unbeknownst to her, her entire arm was turned into gold. Thinking about it now is terrifying.
“I estimate that the entire village is within the curse’s range. The reason we haven’t sensed the curse’s presence is because Yi Chen purified the entire village with holy light. If the source of the curse isn’t eliminated, the villagers will still end up like this.”
Frilian looked at Shi Yichen, who had lifted the curse from the entire village. She knew that the reason they weren't cursed was because of Shi Yichen. However, after finishing this round, they still needed to find the source of the curse and eliminate it.
Just as Frilian was talking to Philon and the others, Shi Yichen's prayer ended, and the entire village was freed from the curse. They would wake up soon.
