Chapter 81: Might of the Forbidden Curse! A Sudden Change!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Link’s brows were slightly furrowed. The might of this secret item is clearly exceptional! Meanwhile, my [Holy Charge]—which grants the invincibility effect—is still in cooldown. 

However, one minute had already passed. Holy Angel Yuna’s [Holy Light Beam] could be used once more at any time!

Three seconds of invincibility and strong explosive power!

Even when faced with the world-devastating thunder punishment, Link was completely fearless.

Seeing how Link continued to press hard, Thunder Palace’s Lord—Zhu Tianyang’s countenance became even more ferocious. The earlier ease and dominance were long gone. Presently, he was like a wild beast at the edge of a cliff—hysterical and battered.

Before Link’s dazzling sword glow arrived, the piercing sword energy had already scored multiple cuts on Zhu Tianyang’s face and clothes.

Zhu Tianyang was both frightened and resentful. A hint of callousness flashed across his eyes, and he instantly activated the secret treasure in his hand!

In the twinkling of an eye, a terrifying suppression spread throughout the space at once. At this moment, it was as if chaos was about to hit the universe!

It was a fearsome strength that made the hearts of all living creatures palpitate!

In the distance, the crowd of Evolvers was trembling in their hearts as if a certain great terror was about to arrive!

“Rascal, no matter how exceptional you are, you will die!” Zhu Tianyang howled hysterically. As he watched the crystal ball dart into the air, a hint of heartache flashed through his eyes!

This crystal ball was a precious treasure that he’d obtained from killing countless abyss monsters over the last seven days. It was also very compatible with his attributes.

Possessing it would also enhance the possessor’s thunder attribute skill might. At the same time, the possessor would have two chances to release an Epic-grade [Forbidden Curse]!

The Epic-grade [Forbidden Curse] was a secondary-class forbidden curse—its might having just passed the threshold of forbidden curses—so it was nothing compared to a Legend-grade forbidden curse or those of even higher grades. Even though this was the case, any magic that pertained to forbidden curses could be considered terrifying!

Even though it was an Epic-grade [Forbidden Curse], it was a calamity with no solution to the Evolvers at this stage.

This was originally the last trump card that Zhu Tianyang had kept hidden all this time. He had planned to use it during the Undead Tide in three days. But a Stage Three Summoner had now forced him to have no choice but to show his last card. How could Zhu Tianyang not feel heartache?

Exclamations rose from all around unceasingly.

“This frightening suppression… It’s a forbidden curse!”

“Damn! It’s only the seventh day since the apocalyptic world descended, and someone has actually obtained a secret treasure that can release a forbidden curse?!”

“Run quickly! Regardless of grade, all forbidden curses have the might to destroy mountains and boil the oceans!”

“Even the repercussions aren’t something we can resist! Quickly, get away from this place!”

Under the pressure of terror, all the Evolvers fled into the distance in panic!

Meanwhile, Yang Xuerou, Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and the others had turned pale. They tightly clenched their fists, and their pretty faces were full of nervousness!

That was a forbidden curse! A force that current Evolvers had absolutely no way of contending with! No matter how much confidence they had in Link, how could they not worry at this point?

The few of them only regretted that they were unable to block this frightening forbidden curse for Link since they didn’t have strong enough capabilities!

In the cruel apocalyptic world, it was still the strong that ruled ultimately! Presently, they could only hope that Link could create a miracle once again!

In the distance, a group of people—who kept looking at this side of Mingshi Hospital and did not come close—also revealed startled expressions.

“Gosh, it’s a forbidden curse!”

“This suppression is truly frightening!”

“Your Highness, the powerhouse that you spoke of is probably going to die… No… He will definitely die at the scene!”

“Nobody knows where Thunder Palace’s Lord got such a secret treasure, honey! Truly scary!”

Several young Evolvers—who clustered around Ou Chen—exclaimed; they were awed by the forbidden curse’s might.

While this all happened, Ou Chen stared intently at the battle on the other side. His lips were tightly pursed, but he didn’t utter a single word. He naturally did not wish to see the powerhouse—who he had his eye on—die!

But faced with the forbidden curse… this hope appeared to be too extravagant.

…

Within seconds, the crystal ball—which radiated a bluish-purple glow—flew into the air. Then, the sky suddenly became extremely oppressive! It was as if an impenetrable black screen had shrouded Link!

A roar suddenly exploded!

In the sky, thunder snakes danced and jumped!

The heavens’ vast might and destructive aura swept downward!

Silver thunder snakes gathered in the air. In the end, a massive thunder dragon—which was several feet long—actually appeared!

The thunder dragon was extremely hideous. The dragon snake was angrily open as thunderbolts converged around its body. A frightening might echoed out from its body as if it were about to destroy everything and exterminate the world!

Roar!

The thunder dragon snarled.

The roar—which sounded like a primitive savage beast’s howl—and also the chirr of a massive brass bell resounded through the universe!

The enormous thunder dragon—together with the monstrous suppression and a sky full of thunder snakes—relentlessly charged toward Link!

This was the forbidden curse in the crystal ball—[Secondary∙Rage of the Thunder Dragon]!

How terrifying was the thunder dragon’s might?

Even though the Evolvers had already begun to escape, a dozen Stage Two—and even Stage Three powerhouses—were still disintegrated into ashes by the thunder snakes then and there!

They turned into [real scum¹]!

This was merely the remnant might that the thunder dragon let out!

When the thunder dragon arrived, Link also lifted his head abruptly. Blue thunder rays reflected in his pair of deep and profound eyes; they were extremely peaceful.

Yuna was his summoned creature. The two’s minds were interlinked, so they could communicate using thoughts.

Almost at the same time, golden holy light burst out from around Link!

[Holy Light Beam]!

At this moment, Link—who was facing the thunder dragon alone—was aloof and indifferent. His robes flapped wildly as his back view remained upright like a spear. He seemed like an ancient immortal resisting the heavens and facing the heavens’ punishment head-on!

However, in everyone else’s eyes, this figure appeared to be rather bleak and lonely, even heroic…

After all, Link was facing magic at the level of forbidden curses!

Boom!

A terrifying explosion sounded. Everyone’s ear membranes seemed to be torn apart as their minds buzzed!

Fearsome cracks appeared on the ground, and gravel was crushed, stirring the smoke and dust into the air!

The dust completely concealed the scene in the center of the thunderstorm. It also covered that tall and proud figure!

No one knew whether Link had already turned into ashes…

“Cough cough.” Zhu Tianyang’s face was utterly pale; there wasn’t a hint of blood. His body was also tottering. He was waving his hand with a light cough, dispelling the smoke and dust before him.

Unleashing the forbidden curse was extremely taxing on him. Presently, his health directly dropped to 5%, and he was unable to release magic again. In other words, any burly man would be able to trample on the present Zhu Tianyang.

In addition, this weak state would last for two days. However, Zhu Tianyang was very pleased with the forbidden curse’s effect.

To kill that fellow and seize the City Building Token… Everything was worth it!

A few subordinates quickly came forward to support him.

“Is Lord alright?” asked a subordinate concernedly.

Zhu Tianyang waved his hand. “Just weak for a period of time. Go and get the secret treasure back; retrieve the City Building Token on that fellow as well.”

The crystal ball could still demonstrate its might one more time, so Zhu Tianyang naturally had to retrieve it. The City Building Token was, all the more, his exclusive possession in his eyes!

“Hmph, this is the consequence of setting yourself against me!” Zhu Tianyang looked ahead—where smoke and dust suffused—and sneered coldly.

But right then, an icy blade suddenly surfaced from the front of Zhu Tianyang’s face!

Blood gushed out of Zhu Tianyang’s mouth as he wore a look of terror!

A man—who was supporting Zhu Tianyang—smiled and said, “Thank you. You’ve disposed of a troublesome thorn in my Black Dragon Gang’s side. We shall not trouble you to participate in the subsequent matters. Rest well!”

Boom!

Zhu Tianyang’s body collapsed; his pair of eyes was filled with resentment and indignance! At the final critical moment, he’d let the Black Dragon Gang sit idle and enjoy the fruits of his labor!

After getting rid of Zhu Tianyang, the man strode forward, about to seize the crystal ball and City Building Token that gradually fell from the sky.

However, the next scene had everyone turn pale with fear!
