Chapter 314: The Former Empress
After teleporting away from the palace with Yoru, I was struck in the shoulder by a long shadow needle that Vyrazul threw at me at the very last second.
We both appeared in the middle of a field on the outskirts of the city, a few kilometers away from the commoners’ areas.
The shadow needle on my shoulder didn’t really hurt that much since the enchantments in my clothing had mitigated most of the damage, but when I removed it, I felt a sharp pain coursing through my body.
At that same moment, Vespera appeared in front of me, holding the magic quartz that we had at the Bao’s mansion.
She had helped Melina take everyone out of there, but someone needed to stay and take the crystal with them.
As soon as she noticed that I was in pain, she quickly inspected me and said that I had been cursed.
’That stupid needle was enough to curse me!?’ I thought.
When I tried opening my void pocket to pull out a holy panacea, my magic started waning, and my MP was reduced to a measly amount that didn’t let me cast my basic spells.
’Is the curse blocking me from using magic?’ I pondered, still feeling the lingering pain in my bones.
