Chapter 72: Investigation!
Astralene hurriedly exited the room alongside Artemis, holding the Book of Destiny close to her chest as her thoughts was filled about how she could use this book to improve her power.
The duo locked the door behind them, leaving Damon to face his father alone. Damon’s facial expression quickly morphed into a much more serious expression.
Malik’s eyes, which were previously sparkling with pride, now identified the calm intensity in Damon’s expression, sensing that a serious topic was about to be discussed.
"Father," Damon began, his tone steady but edged with a seriousness that caught Malik’s attention, "There’s something important I need to discuss with you."
Malik’s expression grew more attentive, and he leaned forward slightly. "Go on, boy. What’s on your mind?"
Damon took a breath, then met his father’s intense gaze, "Before I awakened my Mana, I was under a curse. The Talent Devouring Abyssal Curse."
Malik’s relaxed posture stiffened instantly. His eyes narrowed, a sudden sharpness cutting through the warmth in his gaze, "The Talent Devouring Abyssal Curse?" he repeated, his voice low and dangerous.
"That’s not something cast lightly, nor easily detected. Who did this to you, and how did you solve it?" Malik asked. Through his years of exploration, he had certainly come across the Talent Devouring Abyssal Curse, and how it worked.
"I don’t know," Damon replied, his tone calm but firm, "But I suspect it was someone with ties to the Dragon Clan. That’s why I need your help to find out who it was."
