Chapter 263: Curse Seal Mutation
Chapter 263: Curse Seal Mutation
Time flies like water, and in a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.
This day was just an ordinary day for the other people in the Mona Ant Farm Hut, but for Ivan and the other two, it was a time point that made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Ivan."
"Ivan."
"Madams, you can relax as long as your husband is here."
When Ivan walked into the protection room of the Shadow Ant Fortress, Justie and Pernie had already arrived. Both of them had a look of nervousness on their faces, which only eased after seeing him.
"That's right. Our strength is different from before. It should be easier to get through, and we can even solve all the problems in one go." Jiushiti said with hope in her eyes.
"It's not as easy as you say. Think about it, that villain Toins was a senior first-level wizard, but he was forced to the point of being half-death and could only survive." Penny was not so optimistic.
"Hey! Which side are you on?" Jiushi glared at her unhappily. "I noticed that you always go against me after transferring to the academy. Tell me! Do you want to usurp my position as my legitimate wife?"
Half a year ago, with Ivan's help, the Leah Singer Shelter gave Pernie a favor and allowed her to transfer smoothly to the Mona Ant Colony Hut.
After joining the academy, Pernie moved directly into Shadow Ant Fortress.
"Look at how narrow-minded you are. I'm just telling the truth." Penny glanced at her sideways.
"Not a single nice word. Don't you want to have a child for Ivan?" Jiusi muttered.
As soon as these words were spoken, both women fell silent.
According to Toins, affected by the curse of the demon, the three of them cannot give birth to offspring normally unless through mutation and fission.
Jushiti and Perni have been his women for such a long time, and there is no sign of pregnancy at all, which seems to prove the truth of his words.
At the request of the two, Ivan conducted special research, which also vaguely pointed to this point.
This question undoubtedly troubled Jushiti, and Penny also found it hard to let it go.
"Alright, stop being sentimental. We have a long life ahead of us. There's no need to rush to have a child in the next two or three years. Just come with me first."
Ivan waved his hand and began to manipulate the rune pillars on one side, drawing the power of the Ant-Man Barrier.
The two women looked at each other, still feeling a little worried.
They knew that after Ivan had passed the period of mental fatigue, he would leave the academy and the Moon Clamp Peninsula, and they didn't know when he would be able to return.
They certainly won't lag behind the past.
As the day of Ivan's departure drew closer, the two became more and more eager to have a child, especially Justie who often mentioned "Mrs. Marichatton".
"Follow."
Ivan opened a door and walked in first, while the Marsh Ant and the Silkworm Queen followed silently.
Jushiti and Purney followed quickly behind.
Afterwards, the three of them came to the deeply hidden Ant-Man vault.
Ivan wanted to use the concealment of the Ant-Man Vault to try to isolate the power of the curse, but he anticipated that it would not be very effective.
"Is this the place where you broke through to become a second-level wizard?" Penny looked around curiously.
"Yes, you can call it the 'Ant-Man Secret Vault'. It should have been left by the Xidi Ant-Man. We need to stay here for a few days until the transmission of the curse power is over." Ivan said.
Today, the Ant-Man's secret vault looks empty. It turns out that the remaining incomplete beast eggs have been processed by the swamp ants, and their blood essence has been extracted to breed new ant guards.
"This place is great. It can be used as the secret room of the Marichatton family." Jiushiti commented seriously.
"It's not appropriate. Ant-Man's Vault is actually a part of Ant-Man's Barrier. It's easy for people to steal things if it's used as a secret room." Ivan said with a faint smile.
"What's the big deal? You are in charge of the Ant-Man Barrier anyway, and it is the private property of the Marichat family. No one should be able to break in." Jiushi said indifferently.
The three of them chatted casually. In recent days, Ivan has felt something, and it is getting stronger and stronger. The large-scale transmission of the curse power should be in the near future, but the specific date is unknown.
"It's coming, don't panic for a while, I'll take care of everything."
Two days later, in the afternoon, Ivan discovered that there was some unusual movement, but there was no trace of it as before, and as expected, the Ant-Man Vault had no effect in blocking it.
Following his reminder, the three of them sat around and waited for the power to come.
Soon, the curse marks on the arms of the three people became hot, and an inexplicable force quietly emerged from the void and was cast into their respective curse marks.
"Sure enough, it has accelerated and increased in severity compared to the previous time, more than doubling in severity."
There was a glimmer of gloom in Ivan's eyes.
He did not act rashly. Even though he had grown a lot in the past, this method of transmitting power across dimensions was still beyond his comprehension.
As his strength and knowledge improved, he could increasingly feel the terror of the person behind him.
This was so terrifying that he dared not resist.
Fortunately, he is now a second-level wizard and flying knight, and his ability to withstand is far beyond the previous transmission, and he is still a long way from his limit.
Ivan glanced at the two people not far away. They were also fine, but their expressions were filled with tension and anxiety. Perhaps they were afraid that their bodies would undergo uncontrollable changes and that they would become ugly and crazy.
"Are they your people?"
The sudden voice made Ivan tense up and he almost slapped the person.
At some point, a green-skinned fawn stood beside him, staring at him with intelligent eyes, as if waiting for his answer, but its voice was very rough.
Ivan remembered clearly that the last time he saw a burly old man with green antlers on his head, he spoke in the same voice. The other party also said that he would reward him well next time.
I’m afraid it’s about to come true!
"Boy, I'm asking you a question?" the little deer asked.
"They are my wives." Ivan had a feeling that if he took action, he would be in big trouble. He resisted the urge to resist and answered truthfully.
"In that case, I will help you and give you a hand so that your curse can surpass theirs. This way you can protect your wife well. You are very interesting. Hope you grow up quickly. I am looking forward to meeting you next time, haha."
As soon as he finished speaking, the green-skinned deer bumped into him lightly, transformed into a deeper force and drilled into the curse seal, bringing with it a massive amount of curse power.
Suddenly, Ivan felt a burning sensation coming from deep within his soul, which made his thoughts dull. He broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Ivan, are you okay?"
"Ivan, please speak."
When he was fully awake, Jushiti and Purnie were looking at him with concern.
The two didn't see any green-skinned deer and had no idea what had happened. They only heard Ivan let out a low cry, and then something seemed wrong.
"I'm fine." Ivan said subconsciously.
"But..." Jushiti wanted to say something, but was secretly pulled out by Purnie beside her.
In fact, Ivan's condition was not good. He was soaked in sweat and his face was pale. This was definitely something that could not happen to a second-level wizard, and it also meant that he was seriously injured.
The two of them saw it.
On the other hand, the transmission of the curse power did not exceed the tolerance of Justie and Pernie, and the old man's interest in Ivan was obviously greater than that of the two.
"Don't worry, I'm really not hurt."
Ivan circulated his magic power, and the sweat turned into mist and dissipated, and his complexion recovered quickly.
This is actually true. The problem is with the curse seal on his arm. You can tell without even looking that the seal has mutated. It has probably been upgraded by one or two levels. I wonder to what extent it has been upgraded from a secondary curse seal.
