Chapter 350: The Battle of Karmic Nature
The pope was stunned, but then he finally realized the subtle meaning behind Aldrian’s words.
"Can you break the curse?" the pope asked, his voice trembling.
Angelica also looked at Aldrian with a hopeful gaze, causing his heart to soften. He felt strangely affected by her expression, unable to stop himself from thinking about her.
"There must be something about her that keeps affecting me." As he reflected on his experiences, a thought crossed his mind.
"Have we met in a past life?"
The idea seemed plausible, given how unusual his emotions had been since meeting the saintess. However, he pushed those thoughts aside for now and focused on the problem at hand.
"I will try my best, Your Holiness. Since I can see it, I will make sure to break it," Aldrian said reassuringly.
He then injected his golden energy into the pope’s body. As the energy began to spread, the pope felt an incredible sensation coursing through him. A warm, comforting feeling enveloped him, making him momentarily forget the pain and weakness that had been plaguing him.
The pope’s eyes trembled as he sensed the golden energy beginning to spread through his vital organs, especially his dantian. He could feel it attempting to heal the damage in his dantian and meridians, but he also noticed something unusual—something he had never felt before.
Each time the golden energy touched certain points in his vital organs, he sensed a subtle tugging sensation. He knew this was something invisible to the naked eye, reacting upon contact with the golden energy.
True to his guess, Aldrian, using his karmic laws, observed the threads of the curse binding Pope Claudius’s body as they were being attacked by his golden energy. However, unbeknownst to the pope and Angelica, Aldrian was inwardly shocked when the curse made contact with his golden energy.
