Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 245: Curse

Wu Siduo rolled her eyes at Yue Zhengyu, as she didn't think anything was wrong with Yun'er performance. The little princess was able to bring the upper echelon of the Star Luo Empire together.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the advice Tang Wulin gave to Dai Yun'er was mostly from Zeref, from his experience as an Emperor who knew how to bring is people together.

It was still her who was able to draw all of them with her presence and ability.

As this was going on, Dai Yun'er began walking down from the throne, with the Imperial Officials moving towards.

They all began talking to her, giving her reports about the kingdom and the state of the people before she gave them orders.

While all of the Soul Masters except for Dai Yueyan and his group stayed, waiting for their orders.

"Yun'er." Said Dai Yueyan with a complicated look as the Imperial Official party the way for him as he walked forward.

He didn't know whether he should feel anger, frustration or hatred towards his little sister, that he had doted on for years.

Admittedly, his thoughts about her were pretty complicated at the moment.

"Big brother!" Shouted Dai Yue'er as she jumps directly into Dai Yueyan's embrace, who was suprised.

Dai Yueyan expression softens when he felt his sister trembling in his arms, with a sigh he began rubbing her back while waiting for her to calm down.

It was after a few minutes that Dai Yun'er calmed down, with her moving from her brother's embrace.

She didn't know what came over her but the sight of her brother and everyone in the monster academy caused her emotions to surge.

The only reason she didn't run off to them was because of the plan and even then it was a bit difficult.

As she felt their piercing gaze on her, she could already tell that even they thought she was dead or captured.

"You did good, sis." Said Dai Yueyan with a sigh before gazing at the sight of the Imperial Officials and Royal Fraction working together.

At the moment, they were trying to construct a plan to start the cleaning of the empire and the continent. A sight like this made Dai Yueyan sighed, as this was the first time that both sides truly stood together.

And it was also another example of his failure. Even though he was the crown prince, he still wasn't able to accomplish something that took his sister only a little bit of time.

"Sorry about my words." Said Dai Yun'er with a blush as she felt she kinda went too far.

"No, you were right. At the time, I may have cared more about the throne than the people. I guess I didn't want to see anyone else but Dai's overseeing the empire. While not disappointing father."Said Dai Yueyan with a sigh.

"But in the end, I did disappoint him." Said Dai Yueyan but Dai Yun'er shook her head.

"You were only doing what you believed was right. That's why you have me to keep your head straight."Said Dai Yun'er with a beaming grin causing Dai Yueyan to chuckle as he ruffled her hair a bit.

"You are right."

"Is father okay?" Questioned Dai Yun'er as she slightly trembled.

"Don't worry, we had the strongest members in the empire stationed at where he is." Said Long Yue causing Dai Yun'er to nod her head.

It would explain why some of the strongest Soul Master in the empire wasn't here at the moment.

"Now that we're at this point. It's best to clean this whole empire now. As I'm sure there are plenty more spies in this palace."Said Dai Yueyan with his eyes narrowed.

It wasn't just him but Long Yue and the other people at Monster Academy who felt the urge to rampage inside. As the actions of these Evil souls Masters and their actions to their home, as long since pissed them off.

"Don't worry, big brother. It's already being taken care of."Said Dai Yun'er with a smile causing Dai Yueyan to blink his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Dear brother, did you honestly think this was only part of our plan?" Questioned Dai Yun'er causing Dai Yueyan expression to change.

"You don't mean-"

"This is only the first step, the other step is already being implemented and completed as we speak."

"Ahh!"

A screeching noise rang out as soul energy flickered, surging before dying out as blood splashed on the floor.

"You...How!" Shouted the Imperial Officials behind the group of Soul Master station in front of him as he stared weakly at the person passed them.

"Hm? Are you asking such a dumb question? Finding pests like you guys are a cakewalk."Said Wu Zhankong as he flicked his blade, splashing the blood on the wall.

"Do you know this is no different than declaring war! Once they find out, you killed us, the Star Luo Empire will surely strike back!" Shouted the Imperial Official but Wu Zhankong only shook his head.

This time he chose to not respond and simply rushed forward, with his blade gleaming as ice rushed out.

"Just shut up and die."

#

Arrows pierced through the air, blood splashing as it reached its mark.

"Damn it. His words really were true, our death would come if we stayed." Muttered a man as he coughed out blood before dropping to the ground.

He had multiple arrows piercing through his shoulder, a long gash mark on his back, and a gaping hole at his stomach area.

Despite all of this, the man still laughed as if the thought of death was nothing but a joke to him as he was bleeding out.

Shen Yi and the Tang Sect members walked towards the bleeding man, a frown on her face as she stared at the laughing man.

"Even as I die, I can't say I regret what I did. Either way, at least I'm dying beautifully..."Was the last word of the man who was an advisor to Dai Yueyan in the Royal Family Fraction.

"I still don't understand you guys."Mutter Shen Yi before shaking her head and coldly saying.

"Let's move on; we still have a lot of them to clean out."

"Yes!" Shouted the Tang Sect Members as they dashed forward with Shen Yi in the front.

"I thought there would be stronger ones." Mutter Tang Wulin as he saw the team of ten Soul Masters rushing towards him.

All of them had already summoned their Martial Souls with their battle armor. Yet Tang Wulin neither summoned his martial spirit nor did he used his power over nature.

He simply continued moving forward, thinking about the previous words of Zeref that he told him a few weeks ago.

'To think you would gain this power.'

'I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. But hopefully, you don't lose yourself. But I'm sure you understand this, Acnologia.'

Tang Wulin's eyes began turning sunken and emotionless while raising his hands and slowly rotating his hands.

'Magic Devil Curse Art: Death Predation.'

Purple-blue wisp of energy began swirling around Tang Wulin, forming a spinning sphere that began rotating around him.

It gave off a feeling of death and silence, with all living things in the surrounding area screaming out in terrible fear.

Yet it was too late for the Soul Masters in front of Tang Wulin to stop their attack and for the person, they were protecting.

The purple-blue sphere instantly swept through the area in a flash, everything it touches began to die without a moment of struggle.

The Soul Masters that rushed to Tang Wulin, couldn't scream out before their body lost all signs of life and color.

Tang Wulin's eyes were still emotionless and cold as he simply stared on without a care in the world.

"W-What! How do you have such control over the power of death?"Shouted the Evil Soul Masters as he hastily summoned his Martial Spirit.

As a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, he was very familiar with the negative energy of the world. Even before the deep wave took the life of the Soul Masters in front of him, from his experience of the powers of death.

He was able to instantly tell Tang Wulin was using a dark power and one that is at the extreme.

But the question was how?

While he knew there was Soul Master who has control over the Dark Elements, it shouldn't be this terrifying.

One has to understand, Tang Wulin previous attack made the Evil Soul Master feel like he was staring at death itself.

"Damn it! Listen up, boys-"

Before the Evil Soul Master could finish his words, he felt his body freeze as a terrifying pressure descending upon him.

With a shaky glance, he looked toward Tang Wulin, and his body shook at what he saw.

A large dark figure was slowly appearing behind Tang Wulin, it had tribal markings that covered everywhere with a demonic face and eyes.

Around it was two swirling demonic dragons whose eyes were scarlet with purple markings. The figure kept flickering behind Tang Wulin as the area around them started to become cold.

Yet these terrifying dragons were nothing compared to the terrifying smile on the demonic figure face.

The Evil Soul Master could feel his body telling him to run. Yet his mind felt like it had shut down as he stared at the entity in front of him.

It was only because of the person beside him, that he was able to wake up from the trance he was caught in.

"Wake up! We have to leave!"Shouted the women as her whole body shivered.

Yet before the man could respond, Tang Wulin began to speak.

"Yes, it's time for you guys to leave. Let me send you all on your way."

Tang Wulin's arm began to slowly move around in a circular rhythm, similar to that of a maelstrom until the bottom of his hands met.

The hand on top has the index and middle fingers pointing upwards, while the other hand has the little and index fingers pointing downwards.

The aura of death around him grew more terrifying causing everything that could be considered alive to shiver.

Purple-blue wisp of energy began to swirl, rotate and spin around him as he gave the Evil Soul Masters one last look.

'Magic Devil Curse Art: Death Pillar.'

"Die."

At this moment, the whole room seemed to turn darker...

A raging wave of death erupted outwards as if it came from an abyss that wanted to devour everything, smashing through everything.

The Evil Soul Masters couldn't let out a scream as they were all devoured, not even leaving behind their body.

With the only sign of their death, be the dark wisp that flickering, crackling and burning inside of the room.

The aura continued to burn furiously like flames as Tang Wulin continued to look directly ahead.

"What a letdown."Mutter Tang Wulin as he began sweeping his gaze all around the room, assessing the damage but not commenting on it.

"Surprisingly you are having an easier time with the curse power than I originally thought. Even though Devil Slayer isn't supposed to give you the power of curses. But unlike the others, yours have an Etherious form." Zeref's voice rang out as he appeared next to Tang Wulin.

The power of curses was a branch of magic that was developed by his brother, Etherious Natsu Dragneel.

It was an alternative route of magic with the source being no different from what those Evil Soul Masters utilize.

The power of Curse Magic was rooted in the negative emotions set forth by humans with the magic becoming stronger the more there are negative emotions.

This was one of the reasons why it was so deadly against those Evil Soul Master who exudes negative emotions and utilizes negative powers.

Another being the fact that it was gaining strength from all of the negativity in this continent that was fueling it.

The powers of Curses are foul with the ability to not be affected by even objects and magic that could nullify magic.

This was one of the reasons Zeref believed that E.N.D could kill even Acnologia.

'I knew he would gain the power of curses after I saw his Etherious form. But to think his curse would be the power of Ankhseram Black Magic.' Thought Zeref before sighing as he didn't know how this happened but then his eyes slightly narrowed.

'...Unless.'

Tang Wulin said nothing as he continued to stare ahead before sighing and then he turned around to leave.
