The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"Brother..."

Kuiter's chubby cheeks, though covered in a generous layer of fat, now betrayed a hint of embarrassment. "You see..."

What do I see... Scout Kaman's face turned a shade paler.

The Mother Goddess's kiss of death had been something he'd encountered numerous times in the past few years, mostly manifesting on places like arms, but he'd never seen it appear in such an awkward spot!

Could it be that the taste of the Mother Goddess had grown so bold?

He could feel cold sweat trickling down his back.

Moreover, this young man in front of him was clearly from the Orthodox Church, so where had he learned magic from the Mother Goddess's system?

Was the legitimate Painful Esoteric Sect part of the Radiant Holy See, just as the Mother Goddess's lineage was?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Putting aside the mess of thoughts in his head, the pressing matter was how to deal with Kuiter's situation.

As brothers-in-arms, it was his unshakable duty to help a teammate break a curse... but every time Kaman looked at Kuiter's dignified presence, he felt as if they weren't brothers at all.

"Brother." Kuiter fixed his gaze on Kaman, his hand covered in thick black hair patted him, "Please be gentle."

The kiss of death had already started taking effect, causing a burning pain that felt as if hemorrhoids had flared up.

Kuiter could sense his life force steadily ebbing away; now was not the time for delays.

In ten minutes, most of his life force would be sucked out.

Why was it that Kuiter was struck by the kiss, yet the one feeling the agonizing despair was himself... Kaman's complexion grew even more ashen.

"Don't you plan to help me?"

Seeing Kaman still hemming and hawing, Kuiter's tone became quite dissatisfied,

Already affected by the Mother Goddess's influence, his mental state was becoming increasingly irritable and excited; although he maintained his rational façade, his pupils flickered with a subtle flame of desire.

"Didn't you say you would help me?"

Kaman knew that if he continued to procrastinate, the squad's relationship would eventually shatter.

"..." Kaman swallowed hard, "I... I'll go catch that young man immediately, and force him to..."

He finished his words and drew a dagger from his waist, directing his gaze toward An Su not far away.

An Su was smiling at him, his face still wearing that ever-unchanging calm smile, as he slowly raised his magic wand.

"[God's Kiss]."

"[Precision Support Healing]."

Kaman's pupils dilated rapidly; how could this young man still cast two spells?

The kiss of the Mother Goddess cost six points of magic power.

He had scanned the young man in front of him with a scout's skill, and his total magic power was only thirteen.

Just now, he had used an initial-stage spell of the Holy Light and a kiss from the Mother Goddess, which should have cost seven points of magic power; by rights, he should not have been able to cast another one with less than six points remaining...

There was only one possibility.

Kaman had suspected it from the start, but he just didn't dare to confirm it—An Su's dark elements were exceedingly high compared to ordinary people.

This person was a 'Child of the Curse'!

When the Child of the Curse used dark abilities, the magic power consumption would be halved.

A Child of the Curse so rare in the world, if he didn't perish prematurely or get sacrificed halfway by the lunatics of the Mother Goddess's cult, would grow into an unparalleled genius in dark magic!

Does the Radiant Holy See even have a Child of the Curse now?

You, a Child of the Curse, why not develop on our side? How good would that be?

Two unexpected spells of Blessing Magic landed directly on Kaman.

His body shuddered, then another wave of burning pain followed, an unbearable torment.

His own life force was also being rapidly drained. Find exclusive content at empire

What Kaman found more terrifying was the fact that a large hand covered in black hair was placed on his shoulder.

Kaman turned his head tremblingly and saw Kuiter's face, drooling with fat, unable to contain himself anymore, "Brother, let's help each other out, I'll go first..."

He licked his thick lips.

"Turn around."

What Kaman found most painful and despairing was that under the influence of the Mother Goddess's kiss, he actually found Kuiter's ugly face to seem somewhat sexy and seductive...

Damn it!

This damned Mother of Life!

Anger filled Ka Man's eyes as he gritted his teeth, glaring at An Su whose smile was as radiant as the sunshine. The kid looked frail, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be the toughest of them all!

But now, the arrow was on the string; it was a critical moment.

The Mother Goddess's Kiss of Death, being easy to dispel, counterbalanced by its immensely powerful adverse effect.

Six percent of life force drained every minute, ongoing for ten minutes,

Reality is not a game, with half one's life force gone, a person becomes too weak to even walk,

Having sixty percent sapped, they were at constant risk of fainting or going into shock—and their Magician was busy dealing with the bespectacled, swallow-tail-coated man.

There was absolutely no energy left to heal them.

Damn it.

Ka Man cursed himself in his heart, wondering why he had to pick the toughest nut to crack!

Reluctant as he was, he had no choice but to do it,

It was just a kiss, over in an instant.

Once the curse was lifted, he and Kuiter would torture An Su in the cruelest ways imaginable!

He shakily turned around, while Kuiter slowly crouched and moved closer.

Just at that moment.

An Su's lips curled into a sunny, brilliant smile, one that made Ka Man fear.

For when he smiled like that, he would always pull the darkest tricks.

But even though he was the Child of the Curse with halved magic power depletion, after casting four spells, his magic power should be nearing depletion by now, right? He shouldn't be able to pull off any more stunts, should he?

But Ka Man overlooked one thing—that was the god-given title.

It could be used only once a day, and while using the god-given title, it wouldn't consume magic power.

An Su was in a good mood; he had just tested another branch's viability,

[God's Kiss]and [Precise Support Healing]were just foreplay,

Without the final showstopper, these two spells combined were only good for harassing and holding the enemy for a while—given that they could shake off their psychological burden, they would be able to remove it quickly.

This time, the title An Su equipped was the newly acquired [Starlight of Order].

[Title Effect: You can establish a 'law' in a certain area, lasting for fifteen minutes]

[Note: The 'law' established must revolve around basic order, otherwise, it is considered an invalid enactment]

An Su had earned this god-given title during an examination.

But it was not an omnipotent title; the law it established must revolve around the basics of order, such as prohibiting open defecation, littering, and the like,

——thereby many creative ideas were forbidden.

For example, legislations such as 'cultists are not allowed to breathe here' were invalid.

The basics of order are fair, order does not discriminate against Cultists, neither can laws specifically target Cultists, as Cultists too can be enlightened and saved.

The laws established must be based on basic order and cannot be too far-fetched.

Having scoured the entire [Basic Law of Order]and the [Bible], An Su had still found a loophole.

And with that, he had crafted a new magic school.

"Starlight of Order."

"Enact legislation."

An Su said solemnly and with great earnest, as he enacted a new law,

——"Homosexual activities are forbidden here."

Kuiter found he could no longer move forward; that little flower was within reach, yet he couldn't take another step.

He was halted by the force of the law.

According to the records in the [Bible], in the faith of the masses,

God does not discriminate against Cultists, but God discriminates against homosexuality and considers same-sex activities against the fundamental order.

This was the second Dark Light school that An Su had uncovered after the 'Startled Pregnancy Tactic'—the 'No-Homosexuality Doctrine'!

"Damn it!" Ka Man felt his life force ebbing rapidly and roared in agony within his mind, "I've already taken off my pants, and you pull this on me?"
