Chapter 225: Purified Curse Energy

*Slash* *Crack*

Elysia dealt a powerful slash to injure the monster. She only used Enhancement Magic and Reinforcement Magic to strengthen her physical attacks. Still, each of her swords shattered in the intense clash.

'Vann, avoid physical contact as much as possible from those cursed monsters. They are called cursed over something. It seems they are immune to magic. Their magic resistance is high, and their defense is tough too. It's annoying.' Elysia jumped back and reminded the winged white tiger.

She threw away the handle of her last academy weapon and took out the spare sword from her reserve stock. In front of her were ten Intermediate Accursed Monsters that were only slightly scratched by her attacks.

"Rawr." Vanessa immediately moved away from the monster that she clawed at and landed beside her master.

The warning came, and she needed to use ranged attack mode... But the enemies were immune to magic, so how did she attack from afar?

She had returned to her large tiger form, but it was only half her original body size. Getting caught between the tree trunks due to her extensive body was a bit embarrassing. The current battleground was relatively narrow.

'Ely, all the weapons you put in the Space Bag are only junky. Why not use the gift weapons from Harold or just use Celestia.' Elena scratched her head, confused that Elysia still wanted to use cheap weapons.

'I'll use that later. For now, I'm testing my magic against them. If my top weapon or my ultimate class odachi is also destroyed, I will cry.' Elysia responded when she prepared an attack.

'Hmm... What happens if the magic attack isn't from me, but from a magic sword?' After saying that, destructive lightning flashed from her sword.

After feeling strong enough, Elysia threw the sword at one of the monsters that were approaching. It was like a deadly bullet but rapidly weakened a lot until it was just an ordinary weak attack. The monster brushed it away with no effort.

'Master, are you still experimenting?' The tiger muttered in confusion. Her master said that the monsters were immune to magic, but that attack was magic, right?

'Uhh, that doesn't work either. Yes, Vann, I'm still trying to see the limit of their strength.' Elysia dodged the claws of the incoming monsters. She moved to the side, took another sword from her Space Bag, and blown the monsters away.

The sharp sword reinforced with magic could only act as the blunt stick. It should have shattered thick concrete, but it could only throw off those accursed monsters.

'Ely, it's no use. If you want to try, please try to use a higher quality sword.' Elena rolled her eyes at the sight of another failed attack.

'It seems so.' Elysia looked at the sword in her hand, which was slightly cracked because of her magic and impact. She sighed and threw away the broken sword as it couldn't be called a proper weapon.

This time, she took one of Harold's gift swords from her Space Storage. It was a level 30 magic sword, quite worthy of the experiment.

'Vann, help me from behind. Use whatever you can, but don't get hit by their attacks. We don't know many things.' Elysia gave her orders while rushing towards the monsters.

Vanessa just nodded in understanding and prepared herself for her move. She immediately followed her master to fight.

"You've destroyed many of my weapons, but try this one." Elysia launched a powerful slash with a more significant boost to cut through the enemy.

Unlike the previous fruitless results, she finally managed to cut off the monster's hand. Purple blood like poison flowed from there.

At that moment, Elysia, Elena, and Vanessa were shocked because the splattered purple blood had turned the ground beneath a purplish black.

"Graa!" The angry monster roared loudly.

"Don't roar out loud! I will be in trouble if I have to fight hundreds of creatures like you at once." Elysia grumbled in annoyance and slashed the monster's neck. She accidentally killed it in one slash.

It was the first loud roar she heard, and it wasn't a good sign... The risk was up, monster reinforcements would come just because of that.

Just as their comrade fall lifelessly to the ground, the other nine monsters also roared and immediately charged with an attack that was far more brutal than before.

'Bad luck, this is bad. The accursed monsters are enraged and not messing around anymore. Take this, this, this! Vann, be careful. They've gone berserk.' Elysia nimbly dodged the incoming attacks, then counterattacked.

A claw attack came from above, and Elysia moved to the side for a deadly slash straight into the monster's neck.

The loop happened for the next thing. Vanessa assisted her master from a distance when the monsters tried to attack from various directions. Even though the magic didn't have much effect and her magic attack became redundant, it could buy a little time for her master attack and her sharp claw attack.

All things considered, only Elysia carried out the massacre, and Vanessa only slightly injured some of the berserk monsters with her claw attacks. The Level 155 Spirit Beast, without using any meaningful magic attacks, only dealt that much damage to those troublesome Intermediate level cursed creatures.

Elysia stared at her magic sword that was damaged by the purple blood and her magic. Even a level 30 magic sword could only support that much magic?

Well, at least it didn't break right away, like when she first tried to use Enhancement Magic and Reinforcement Magic for a lethal blow.

'Ely, throw that sword away! Don't ever touch the purple blood.' Elena conveyed her panic when she saw the purple blood, almost touching her sweet little sister's hand.

On reflex, Elysia dropped the sword and jumped backward. She was quite surprised by Elena's sudden panicked outcry. After Elena checked Elysia's body was okay, they let out a sigh of relief.

'Vann, let's go somewhere else. We need to explore in the middle forest areas to inspect this sealed space. I want to know a little more clue about this event. After that, we'll run away from here and let the authorities take care of the rest.' Elysia climbed onto Vanessa's back and used her invisible magic.

Before Vanessa flapped her wings to fly, Elysia felt something was attacking her body. She couldn't see it, but she knew something was wrong.

An immense shock came, and Elysia immediately jumped away from Vanessa. Numerous black threads energy ran from her right hand, and it spread quickly to the base of her arm.

'!!!' Elena and Elysia immediately did whatever they could without further ado. Was that the curse? There was no need to know the effect of the curse. They had to get rid of it immediately.

'Black, foreign, and dangerous energy is invading! Purification, purification, purification...' Elena did her best to apply her magic to the real world. She cleansed Elysia's contaminated body cells as fast as she could.

Elysia was also against the same thing. If the black thread was poison, then it couldn't spread any further. Luckily, imagination magic was good enough to counter common sense.

The two of them managed to eradicate the invading black thread and foreign energy in just two seconds. Then, Vanessa flew over and picked up her master. The tiger knew it was safe, and she immediately went to the sky to secure themselves.

'What was that, master? Are you poisoned?' Vanessa asked cluelessly. She didn't know much about curses.

'I don't really understand, but I'm sure it was a curse. I killed ten Intermediate Accursed Monsters, and is that what we got?' Elysia shook her head.

At the same time, the remaining foreign purified energy was flowing and absorbed by her body. Elena and Elysia didn't know anything was wrong. It was similar to the flow of magic energy through Elysia's body as usual.

The thing that made them both surprised and delighted at the same time came afterward.

[| Level +1 |]

'I, I... I finally leveled up! Yay! After a month of relying on Energy Core...' Elysia cheered in her mind. She got happy news after all the sad things and tragedies that had happened.

'Ely, congrats to you. Let's see with your status at level 22~' Elena was also excited.

Hearing that, Elysia focused on herself, and something that was expected suddenly appeared before her.

[| Lv. 22 | Apprentice Mage | Elysia Avery | Female (16) | HP: 4,600 / 4,600 | EP: 4,500e+9 / - |]

'Oops.' Elena wanted to chuckle, but she didn't dare. She just covered her mouth with a silly smile.

'No, no way... Only my health points have increased? That only adds up to 100? How wicked, even Evelyn got more than that...' Elysia got a bit of a letdown.

Her hope was carried high into the sky, but only to be dropped to earth. The addition of 100 HP for going up one level was not a great thing.

'Don't be sad, Ely. 100 points equal the strength of your base body getting stronger. It's not much, but at least we're getting progress rather than relying on Energy Core alone.' Elena comforted a disappointed heart gently.

'Ahh... The instruction advised us not to consume Energy Core more than one third of our level. That alone is still within a certain limit... Next time, let's try a high-level Energy Core to level up. I wonder what happens next.' Elysia murmured absurdly at her reckless idea.

'What? Your body can explode! Well, we can try that, but with a note. If something is not quite right, you must stop it.' Elena scolded the girl, who fell into disarray with disappointment. Well, trying a little was okay...

'Whatever, I'll try that later. Now, it looks like by purifying that foreign energy, we can level up, hehe...' Elysia chuckled in her mind. It was obvious what she would do next.

'It must be a curse, right? Why is it suddenly a blessing to level up?' Elena muttered blankly. It was a question without anyone knowing the answer.
