Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Curse From the Gods!

After a few minutes, Brenda’s eyes lit up. “I remember.”

Matthew and Edith looked at her immediately.

Brenda said, “I read about it in an ancient book. The Darkin Race was a race that existed tens of millions of years ago, even before humans were born. They were a race comparable to the Gods. However, they were somehow exterminated later.”

“Tens of millions of years ago, existed even before the origin of mankind, a race comparable to the Gods?!”

Edith gasped at her sister’s explanation.

“How could such a powerful race be sealed in the Maar Mountains?”

Matthew and Edith were focused on different matters. He was more concerned about the fact that the Darkin Race had been sealed.

A race comparable to Gods should be invincible in the world. How could it be sealed?

Could there be a race even more powerful than the Gods?

Even as Matthew wondered what was going on, the ethereal voice spoke again.

“Accept God’s Curse!”

As soon as it finished speaking, the faint red mist around them began to thicken.

Even as the sisters stood before Matthew, he could barely make out their faces.

The color of the mist gradually turned scarlet.

It was a frightening feeling.

“Heber!”

Matthew shouted.

Heber understood and its body instantly expanded.

“Roar!”

Heber, who was a hundred meters tall, let out a deafening roar.

[Demon Dragon’s Breath]

The dragon breath it spat out transformed into hurricanes, attempting to blow away the blood-colored fog.

Matthew saw the ideal scene. The fog cleared in an instant.

But after the mist was blown away, it quickly gathered together again.

Heber’s attack was of no use.

“What’s going on?”

Matthew frowned at the sight of the gathering mist.

The fog that could not be blown away seemed even stranger.

“Heber, again!”

Matthew ordered.

“Roar!”

[Demon Dragon’s Breath]

Heber roared again.

The dragon’s breath was even more violent than before.

Every strand of dragon breath was like a sharp sword that was sufficient to flatten a mountain!

And with such a terrifying dragon breath gathered together, destroying thousands of kilometers of mountains and rivers was nothing difficult.

However, the fog in front of them seemed to be extremely tough.

The sharp dragon breath directly passed through the mist.

It was as if Heber’s skill had no effect.

Last time, it blew the fog away.

But this time, it did not even manage to blow it away.

When Heber saw this, its huge vertical pupils could not help but show a hint of astonishment.

At this moment, even it began to doubt its own abilities.

The breath, which was enough to flatten thousands of kilometers of mountains and rivers, could not even blow away the mist. Those who did not know would think that it had sneezed.

“Matthew, I feel terrible.”

Just then, someone behind Matthew spoke.

Matthew looked back and saw that the Brenda sisters looked extremely pained.

“What happened?”

Matthew asked.

Although he did not care about the lives of the two sisters, he needed to know why they were in so much pain.

“I… don’t know.”

At this moment, the voices of the two girls had already started to tremble, as if speaking was a strenuous task.

Matthew frowned slightly and asked again, “Then where do you feel pain?”

“Whole body… every part of my body… every inch of my skin… every pore… every bone… every drop of my blood… is in extreme pain…”

When they spoke again, large beads of sweat had seeped out of Brenda’s and Edith’s fair skin. Their faces were twisted in pain, and their bright eyes were bloodshot. They were biting their lower lip.

The pain was so deep that it seeped into their bones… Matthew looked at the two sisters indifferently. He didn’t give them any help. Instead, he was thinking about why they were in so much pain, and whether this pain would land on him.

“Ah!”

Under the pitch-black night sky, in the thick blood-colored fog, a painful scream sounded.

Matthew saw crimson streaks appear on Brenda and Edith’s skin. They looked menacing.

“What is this?”

Matthew wanted to reach out and test what those bloody lines were.

However, he had only just reached out his hand when he was shocked by the two sisters’ miserable cries.

“Ah—!”

The scream this time appeared even more painful than the last time.

From the looks on Brenda’s and Edith’s faces, he could tell that their pain had reached its peak, close to breaking their minds.

“Save… me.”

Brenda screamed for help.

But Matthew remained unmoved.

He had no idea how to help the two sisters.

Matthew could only watch as Brenda and Edith passed out from the pain.

Following a soft sound, the two sisters, whose bodies were covered in blood-colored patterns, fell onto the moist ground.

The moist soil dirtied their beautiful faces, but it made their beauty seem more down-to-earth. They were no longer high and mighty princesses, but the most dazzling flowers in the crowd, like lotuses born from filth.

“Why aren’t you cursed?”

Just then, Matthew heard the ethereal voice from before.

This time only he and Heber could hear it.

Matthew couldn’t help himself from shouting. “Who are you? What have you done to them?”

“They have been cursed by God’s Curse!”

That voice only answered Matthew’s second question.

A moment later, the voice sounded again.

“Why aren’t you affected by God’s Curse?”

This was the second time it had asked this question.

Obviously, the owner of the voice was curious as to why Matthew was standing there safe and sound.

“I don’t know. What do you want?” Matthew looked around coldly.

From the moment he heard the voice until now, he did not sense any aura around him. This meant that the other party was someone who was extremely good at hiding, or rather, his strength was far above his. Otherwise, it was impossible for it to hide so well that he could not even find anything strange.

“It is impossible for mortals to resist the God’s Curse. There is a huge secret on you!”

The voice did not reply to Matthew’s words. Instead, it began to speak to itself.

“You have a bloodline no less than that of a God…”

“Furthermore, it’s inclined towards the darkness…”

Gradually, the voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, Matthew couldn’t even hear what it was saying.

A while later, Matthew and Heber felt the ground change beneath their feet.

They hurriedly looked down, only to see that the moist ground seemed to have become alive as it began to squirm.

“Not good!”

Matthew let loose a cry of alarm in his heart, and he immediately tried to climb onto Heber’s back and force him to leave this place immediately.

However, just as he had this thought, the ground seemed to have turned into a swamp. The man and the beast gradually sank into it. No matter how hard they tried, they could not break free.
