Chapter 1622 - Breaking the Curse
The rune on the stone wall hovered before Liu Wuxie. He kept carving with his hands, copying the rune he had seen on Vandore's arm, and within a few minutes, he finished engraving a second rune.At first glance, the two runes looked alike, but subtle differences set them apart.
Liu Wuxie snapped his hands together, and the two runes surged toward each other, merging at terrifying speed.
A harsh buzz detonated through his soul sea the instant they fused, and an eerie spectacle erupted. The runes twisted together in a tight spiral as the buzz reverberated inside him, forcing him to retreat.
Blinding radiance exploded from the merged rune, hammering his senses so hard he had to shut his eyes, and the brilliance felt sharp enough to pierce straight through his soul sea.
Roughly fifteen minutes later, the radiance finally ebbed, and a golden diagram replaced it. Liu Wuxie walked closer and saw countless characters inside the diagram, each one formed from the rune's fine lines.
"What a brilliant design by separating the characters into fine lines, and only by merging the runes can they restore themselves into characters," Liu Wuxie murmured, shock tightening in his chest at Vandore and Makuvert's ingenuity.
The incantation itself served as the key, yet they split it into two components. The rune on Vandore's arm held the first component, while the rune on the wall held the second.
Viewed alone, each seal revealed nothing. Only when the seals combined did the mystery unravel. The text remained short, but Liu Wuxie still read every segment with painstaking care.
"This is the Dark Curse's incantation, and it also contains the insights of the Light and Dark Elves' magic. It looks like Vandore and Makuvert didn't have any feud; their paths just diverged. They stored all their life's work in these seals." Liu Wuxie drew his conclusion from what he read. That meant the feud between the two factions had no foundation from the start.
Their descendants had misread their ancestors' intent. Vandore and Makuvert only wanted to raise the Elven Race higher, and as prodigies, their ideals naturally collided.
From the text, Liu Wuxie also learned that Makuvert had created the Dark Curse, yet even he couldn't undo it. Vandore had poured endless effort into countering it and had succeeded.
