Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 87 The Cruelest Curse

"You're worried about me..."

"Teacher, why would you say that?"

Because they expressed their desire to get off and pick up the ride earlier—

The Southern Hero, having been directly rejected by Agusid with the excuse of "being worried," looked helplessly at his teacher who was sneering at him.

"I just told you that the owner of the [Sword of the Hero] is still alive, and you're about to leave here—"

"Guess if I know what you're planning to do?"

Knowing that the owner of the [Sword of the Warrior] was still alive, Nan Yong wanted to go down, but of course, not to find that person.

Because he possesses 'future vision,' he is very clear about this.

I saw his figure in the future but did not discover his identity.

That means he, Agusid, and Seria made the same choice.

He would not interfere in anything, much less choose to defeat the Demon King.

So finding him is pointless.

The future chosen by the hero of the South remains the optimal solution without a doubt.

The reason he wanted to go down early was...

It was simply because, after learning of the existence of the owner of the [Sword of the Hero], she wanted to make some minor adjustments to the details of the arrangements she had made for her afterlife.

In response, Agushid's attitude was—

"no need."

I know perfectly well what kind of ending you want to achieve—

If any discrepancies arise in the details later, I will personally help you correct them.

So now, you just stay here quietly and don't do anything unnecessary.

Since my master personally said he would help me with my funeral arrangements.

Therefore, Nan Yong had no reason to disagree with Agushid's demands.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he said that in the first place in order to get a promise from Agushid.

And Agushid guessed his disciple's true thoughts.

So I simply went along with his wishes.

In any case, these were all minor matters to him.

It's okay to indulge him a little.

That's what Agushid thought.

Having received a promise from his teacher, the Southern Hero naturally moved on from the previous topic.

While following in Agushid's footsteps, they would occasionally ask him questions to keep him entertained.

Some of these things Nan Yong already knew, while others were things he was currently curious about.

For example——

"Teacher, is the owner of that hero's sword an elf?"

The sword of the hero has had its masters—

And his master is still alive to this day...

After excluding the demons and the dwarves, whose lifespans are also relatively short.

The elf became Nan Yong's only choice.

In addition, there was the stone sculpture covered in moss that I had seen on the "Royal Road" in the northern countries.

And in the future he saw, there was an elven monk who looked exactly like the hero in the stone sculpture—

The Hero of the South almost instantly identified the right person to wield the Sword of the Hero.

Agusid's tacit agreement confirmed his conjecture.

“You should have seen him in ‘Future Vision’, and you should have seen his stone sculptures during your travels.”

Agushid unconsciously turned the ring on his hand, softly responding to his disciple's conjecture.

"However, since he has long been forgotten, and because he almost never takes action—"

"So that's why you didn't realize his identity before..."

Even my thoughts were perfectly replicated—

Should I say that he truly lives up to his reputation as a teacher?
The Southern Hero chuckled, then continued to probe for information from Agushid.

"Teacher, do you know the owner of the Hero's Sword?"

"I know him, but we're not very close, so don't expect me to know much about him."

Even so, the Southern Hero heard a rare hint of nostalgia in his master's voice.

And Agushid clearly didn't intend to cover this up.

He told his disciple directly about his relationship with the elven monk.

"If I had to say, we could barely be considered friends."

"That guy is very mysterious, even more reclusive than Selena."

"Aside from seeing him a long time ago, wielding the [Hero's Sword], traveling with a monk—" "and later, during my journey to 'Heaven' with Vlame, I had a few other encounters with him."

"Other things, including his age and the great achievements he once made—"

"I know absolutely nothing about it."

They don't even know his age!

That's definitely a bit too mysterious.

I am curious about what great achievements the owner of the "Sword of the Warrior" had made.

But since even his master knew nothing about it, Nan Yong didn't delve too deeply into it.

However, there is another question that troubles him, and one that Agushid surely knows the answer to.

"Teacher, do you know how strong he is?"

Finally, the Hero of the South asked the question that concerned him most.

And Agushid gave his disciple the answer quite readily.

"I'm better than you."

"That's really hurtful... teacher..."

"This is true."

Could you be more specific?

To be more specific...

Agushid remained silent for a moment, after a few breaths of thought.

The hero from the south heard his master's deep and solemn voice.

"It's hard to say anything more specific, since I've never fought him at full strength."

"What if we just go by feeling?"

"If we're just going by feeling..."

Agushid raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.

"He shouldn't be any weaker than the Demon King, Celie, or the three of us."

That is to say-

They are undoubtedly among the world's top combat forces...

The thought that such a person, just like his teacher, was indifferent to worldly affairs is unsettling.

The hero from the south sighed silently, feeling somewhat sentimental.

"This is truly a headache, both for you, teacher, and for the owner of the [Sword of the Hero]..."

"As one of the few beings in this world who could potentially defeat the Demon King in a one-on-one fight—"

"But they all refused to do so for various reasons..."

"Could this be some kind of curse that comes with being too powerful?"

curse--

This was a rare statement that even Agushid somewhat agreed with.

"It's possible that there really is such a possibility."

Reaching the end of the cobblestone path, Agushid addressed his disciples behind him, facing the sunlight.

He stretched out his hand and listed examples, including himself.

“The curse of ‘war’ makes Celie unable to imagine a world without war.”

"The curse of 'love' makes it impossible for me to live in a world without Volamere."

"And the curse of 'forgetting' made that guy escape into a world of faith in the goddess."

"From this perspective—"

The possibility that the curse—"Being too powerful will render one unable to defeat the Demon King due to the curse"—is almost 100% true...

"war"--

"like"--

Forgetting

The reason why Celia and Agusid could not defeat the Demon King—

The Hero of the South knew from the beginning and could understand their choices.

But the reason given by the elven monk left him speechless.

“Forgetting…”

This should be the last thing a brave person should be struggling with.

However, the Southern Hero could not criticize the elven monk's choice.

Because for elves—

There is no more cruel curse than 'forgetting'.
