Even though Suuankou didn’t know much about ritual, he had some common sense about it.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
Even though Suuankou had attained Silver Rank too quickly in two months, he was still a legitimate Silver Rank, which he had gone through the condensation of the soul.
Ordinary rituals would not be effective in hurting him.
The promotion in his soul rank brought him resistance to transcended properties.
Being at Silver Rank even granted him resistance against some spells of Bronze Rank. However, the resistance would become meaningless if the ability had nothing to do with transcended power.
For example, Dove shot Jude, the Shaping Wizard, in the head.
They had no resistance against a normal attack.
If Dove were using her transcended ability as a Hunter that guaranteed headshots and let the arrow chase its target, Jude would have deflected the ability instead.
Back then, Dove wasn’t even at Bronze Rank. The transcended power she exerted would have deflected away from Jude.
Generally speaking, the easily “deflected” transcended ability were instant-death spells, followed by illusion and positioning abilities. The Edict School usually had the highest priority among spells and abilities of the same level.
Rituals carried the lowest priority.
However, the curse ritual, “Moth’s Knot, ” took effect. If Suuankou hadn’t discovered it early enough while having knowledge about it, he would have already been in a coma with a high fever and lost the ability to fend for himself.
Since the ritual’s curse affected Suuankou, it showed that the opponent had utilized high-level materials and rituals. Although the “Elderly Young Hair” literally said it was the golden hair of premature aging, why would it be golden hair if it was premature aging?
Suuankou didn’t quite understand how this happened.
He knew that killing ordinary people with a curse didn’t require such a precious curse material.
In other words, the opponent already knew he was the Silver Rank Destruction Wizard before the attack.
Of course, Suuankou was not actually a Destruction Wizard.
His profession was [Saboteur].
It was a rare profession. There might be less than ten people in this world holding this profession. Anyone with knowledge of the transcended world would assume those with the sulfur scent to be Destruction Wizards.
Who the hell wants to assassinate a Destruction Wizard in a busy city?
Even though Suuankou wouldn’t explode after death, the ordinary Destruction Wizards would. The explosion of a Destruction Wizard of the Silver Rank level was powerful enough to demolish a street!
Unless…
“Unless that person wants you to explode in the city.”
A somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind Suuankou.
Suuankou was slightly taken aback and turned around.
It was a handsome young man with honey-colored curly hair. His fair skin showed many scars, and his golden pupils were reminiscent of wine.
Only then did he realize that the person who appeared behind him was the Sacrificial Saint whom they had just parted way… [the Man Against Himself], Henry Worden.
“Saint.” Suuankou greeted him respectfully.
He asked curiously, “Didn’t you leave? Why are you still here? Do you have any mission?”
When Suuankou said the word “mission”, his eyes lit up.
“Ah, I didn’t come here to see you.” Henry Worden shook his head and said frankly, “I met an acquaintance, so I ran after her. However, I lost her when I got to this place.”
“Just when I was about to leave, I sensed the disruption of curse magic nearby, so I rushed over.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the rope that had been charred.
After a bit of hesitation, he asked, “[Moth’s Knot] or [Rope That Binds Feet]?”
“It’s [Moth’s Knot].” Suuankou immediately asked, “Saint, do you have any clues?”
“…Kind of. But I’m not sure.”
Henry frowned slightly, “But I think you may have been the innocent victim here. She might be after me.”
“If you fail to lift the curse, I should have seen you unconscious somewhere when I came over. If I lean over at this time, you will probably be killed by her directly to be detonated.”
So, am I just a dynamite keg to you?
He had just analyzed for a long time why the enemy would attack a Destruction Wizard. It turns out that I’m just a trap to murder Henry.
In this conspiracy, he did not exist as a “person”, but as a large explosive trap that could draw the target in.
Does Destruction Wizard have no human rights?
“So, who the hell is that?” Suuankou asked.
Suuankou asked earnestly, “I was almost killed by that person today. Although it was treated as an object, I want that person’s name.”
“I can tell you her name. After all, she has many enemies. Having one more won’t make any difference.”
However, Henry warned, “I don’t want you to go against her, at least before advancing to Gold Rank. It’s best not to try to find her. Otherwise, you will die.”
“She’s truly a heartless and despicable assassin who knows no dignity. Even when she fights against Silver Rank or even Bronze Rank, she will use all vile methods such as curse, poison, and ambush, even as a Gold Ran. You might not even get close to her before she kills you from a distance.”
“She?”
Only then did Suuankou realize that the culprit was a woman.
He shouldn’t have been so dull. In front of this “the Man Against Himself”, his perception of gender seemed a bit vague.
Suuankou still hadn’t forgotten. His sister looked at him meaningfully after learning that the Motherly Moth and the Grail-holding Lady have rituals that could alter a male into a female.
Are we really blood-related?
“Yes, a lady.” The young saint with honey-colored hair nodded, “Her name is Ingrid. [Eternal Daughter] Ingrid.”
“Ingrid?” Suuankou froze for a moment.
After hearing this name, he immediately thought of Ingrid, who had died long ago in the “Gemini Nightmare”.
Justice’s first love, whom he failed to save. She was also the girl who studied with him at Dream Eater Seti.
An ordinary girl who had long since died.
Having the same name?
