Dorcas' "bet" was a slap to his face, but he wasn't wrong.
Just like the first time they met the human face tattoo, they would be dragged into the contract if they agreed to join the game. It was the same this time.
If they agreed to join the game, they would be forced into the contract.
Therefore, ignoring the human-faced sculpture was indeed their only choice.
They didn't expect the human face tattoo statue to be so reckless as to attack them.
Well, it wasn't a bad idea.
They didn't dare to attack the statue because they didn't want to be dragged into the contract. But since the statue attacked them first, they didn't need to worry.
They just needed to follow the rules.
"You think the statue is being reckless, right?" Dorcas said, "No, it's not. It has its own purpose."
"Purpose?" Kael looked at Dorcas in confusion.
Dorcas said, "At first, I found it a little strange too. Under normal circumstances, attacking it would be tantamount to suicide. It shouldn't attack us. But when I broke the statue, I figured it out. "
"There are two reasons why it attacked us.
"Firstly, the Space Sorcerer behind it needs to get a definite answer: Do we know the specific terms of the contract?"
The wizard already used the little mole to test them and guessed that they might know something about the contract.
But at that time, they only showed that they knew "not to attack the mole.
To avoid entering the contract ".
The human face tattoo used words to trick people into signing the contract. The wizard wasn't sure if they knew about this condition yet.
Therefore, the wizards behind the scenes of Paradise Game still had a 'just in case' attitude, and wanted to confirm their understanding of the contract one last time.
In their opinion, this might be a little unnecessary. But they were the ones involved in the contract, so they naturally entered the information cocoon and looked at the problem from their own perspective.
But if they looked at it from the wizard's perspective, they still didn't understand everything. Even if there was a certain result, how did it happen? There were still many questions that needed to be cleared up.
Judging from the current situation, the wizard must have thought of two possibilities.
First, Angor assumed that they already knew about the contract, but they only knew a part of it. Angor's mastery of space allowed him to ignore all external factors, including the human face runes.
The second possibility was that they were very clear about all the conditions of the contract and knew the significance of the human face tattoo, so they intentionally avoided it.
In order to confirm what kind of people they were, the Wizards behind Paradise Game had meticulously set up a human-faced statue here.
Just to make a final confirmation.
If they had ignored the human face tattoo like before, it would most likely be the second case.
But no matter how high the probability was,
In the end, he couldn't be completely sure. Therefore, the other party had a second backup plan, which was to let the human-faced tattooed statues attack them.
Both Angor and Dorcas noticed the spirit arrow coming from the statue when it first formed.
According to the normal development of the plot, when they saw the human-faced sculpture condensing the spirit arrow and aiming it at them, they had the ability to break it in advance. Even if he didn't shatter it, he could still easily avoid the arrows.
But they had chosen an abnormal development: Dorcas had been shot by an arrow.
A small spiritual arrow shouldn't have hit Dorcas, no matter what, but it did. The answer was clear: Dorcas took the arrow on his own accord.
Why? Because Dorcas knew the logic of the "contract" very well. Only when they were attacked could they fight back against the human-faced sculpture.
Now, the other party was sure that they knew all the terms of the contract.
"A clear message is their first goal. But they probably already guessed it. They just wanted to make a final confirmation, "Dorcas said," They sent the statue to attack us for a bigger reason. "
"A curse."
Angor was surprised to hear the word "curse". It took him a while to react. "Curse? You mean … "
Dorcas coughed dryly, then lowered his voice by an octave, "That's right, I've been cursed."
Dorcas was certain that the human-faced sculpture wasn't attacking them recklessly because he was cursed when he broke the statue.
And it was a passive type of curse.
As long as they didn't break the human-faced statue, even if they only attacked the statue, they wouldn't trigger the curse. However, Dorcas had broken the human-faced statue, so the curse was triggered.
"Didn't your spirit tell you anything?" Angor frowned.
Dorcas shook his head. "No. That human-faced sculpture has something like an anti-prophecy effect …"
When the sculpture possessed the little mole, it already guessed that Dorcas and Angor were both Prophets and Space Manipulators.
So, it wasn't surprising that someone set up a human-faced sculpture with an anti-prophecy effect.
The only thing that surprised him was …
"My spirit was neutralized by the anti-prophecy effect? That's so unfair. My spirit isn't a prophecy spell …" Dorcas mumbled in frustration.
Angor wasn't too surprised that the anti-prophecy effect overshadowed Dorcas' spirit. After all, he had crafted anti-prophecy items before.
Angor knew a thing or two about anti-prophecies.
Most anti-prophecy abilities were targeted at "Space-Time Reflection". Prophecy spells were only one of the many types of space-time Reflection. There were many other abilities that could affect space-time Reflection.
For example, Truesight, Truth Eye, Word of Truth, Falsebreaker … all of them were related to space-time Reflection, but they weren't Prophecy abilities. However, a high-level anti-prophecy effect could still block these spells.
Therefore, anti-prophecy wasn't just about anti-prophecy spells. There were many other related abilities.
Dorcas' spirit talent wasn't Prophecy, but it was still related to space-time Reflection, so it wasn't surprising that it was targeted.
Angor didn't explain the truth of the anti-prophecy. Dorcas would have a chance to learn it when he went to Phantom Island or the dream wasteland. Besides, Angor planned to let Dorcas talk to Dodoro, who would then tell Dorcas about it.
"What curse?" Angor was more interested in Dorcas' curse than explaining the anti-prophecy.
Dorcas: "… Blood curse."
Blood curse didn't refer to a specific type of curse. It was a type of curse.
All curses that used blood as a medium were called blood curses.
Blood curses could be powerful or weak. They could restrict the abilities of the person being cursed, or even kill them. However, a small statue with a human face couldn't withstand a curse that could kill a wizard.
Moreover, a powerful blood curse could be easily sensed. Both Dorcas and Angor didn't sense the curse inside the statue, so they were sure that the curse wasn't too powerful.
Although the level of this blood curse wasn't high, it had a special characteristic … It was very effective against all blood-related abilities.
In other words, blood curses were more effective against Bloodline Wizards than against other types of wizards.
Angor wouldn't be affected too much if he was the one being cursed. But since it was Dorcas, it was a different story.
"What did the curse do to you?"
Dorcas rubbed his nose. "The blood aura in my right hand is a bit more stagnant than usual."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dorcas added, "Overall, it doesn't have much of an impact. Besides, the curse's level is very low. Even if I don't actively wear it down, it can only last for half a day. If I keep using my energy to wear down the curse, an hour … no, half an hour should be enough. "
"Right hand." Angor glanced at Dorcas' trembling right hand. "A Bloodline Wizard without his right hand will lose half of his power …"
"Not half. Five percent at most …"
Angor stared at Dorcas for several seconds. Dorcas looked away in embarrassment and said in a small voice, "Or ten percent."
Angor humphed and didn't comment on the number.
He was exaggerating when he said that Dorcas lost half of his power. However, Dorcas was also exaggerating when he said that Dorcas lost ten percent of his power.
As a wizard who relied on his bloodline to fight, any part of his body could affect his whole body. The loss of his right hand could reduce his overall power by at least twenty to thirty percent.
Of course, even if it was reduced by twenty to thirty percent, Dorcas was still more powerful than most adepts. There was no denying that.
"Even if it's only ten percent, it's still a loss. We're about to face a powerful enemy. "Angor looked at Dorcas." I have a way to get rid of the curse on your right hand quickly. "
"What way?" Dorcas asked.
"Sunlight Sanctuary …"
Dorcas was silent for a few seconds before his eyes drifted to the side. "Was someone talking just now? I'm a little hard of hearing these days. I can't hear anything. "
The last time he used the Sunlight Sacred Hall, Dorcas had sold his freedom. If he used the Sunlight Sacred Hall again, wouldn't his flesh and blood be eaten clean?
No way!
No matter what Angor said next, Dorcas only gave him a "whistling" expression. He didn't even look at Angor. His meaning was obvious.
Seeing this, Angor shrugged and stopped trying to persuade him.
…
Dorcas was cursed, but they still had to go up the platform.
Soon, they reached the end of the stairs.
At this point, they finally saw the situation on the high platform.
The first thing that came into view was a huge arena that was covered by a dome. In the arena, two Magi were engaged in a fierce battle.
Outside the arena, there was a large group of people lying on the ground below the arena. There were at least forty to fifty people lying on the ground.
Most of them were apprentices. Most of them were lying on the ground like statues. It wasn't that they couldn't move because of their injuries. It was just that the dome did not block their auras.
The pressure released by the two Magi who were in the middle of a battle had completely suppressed them.
Khael, who had just stepped onto the platform, almost got affected by the aura as well. Luckily, Dorcas and Angor were there to stop the aura from entering his body.
Apart from the apprentices lying on the ground, there were three other wizards in the arena.
They were treated differently from the apprentices.
At least the apprentices didn't suffer any external injuries. However, one of the apprentices was missing an arm, while the other was holding a scythe-like leg … which was also his leg.
The only one who seemed to have all four limbs was missing a wing on his back.
In addition to the terrible injuries, the three of them were also restricted from moving. They were all locked in by spatial seals. The spatial seals were like transparent coffins, locking them in and making them unable to move.
However, although they could not move, they could still see the outside world.
For example, they noticed Angor's group as soon as they appeared.
When the three wizards saw them, Dorcas also looked at them and introduced them to Angor.
"The wizard who transplanted the Blade Shadow Monster's legs is called Yakee Bilos. That's right, the one with the green curly hair and the scythe-like leg. He's a wizard trained by the Bilos Family. He just broke through a few years ago. He's a Bloodline Wizard, but his bloodline is not systematic. He's not even one-tenth as strong as I am.
"The one with the missing wing is also a wizard from the Bilos Family. He doesn't have a real name. People call him Seahawk. Don't be fooled by his long blue hair and gentle appearance. He's not a woman! "
"As for the one with the missing arm … it's Ullus. See the emblem on her robe? That's the symbol of the Elysium Fields. "
It was normal for wizards from the Bilos Family and the Elysium Fields to show up here.
It was Dorcas' appearance that surprised the three Magi trapped in the spatial seal.
They didn't recognize Angor because of his disguise, but they did recognize Dorcas. Why would a wandering wizard from the Sandworm Bazaar suddenly show up in Paradise?
Seahawk and Yakee both looked at Ullus from Elysium Fields.
Paradise was under her jurisdiction, so she might know something.
However, Ullus was also puzzled.
She had not seen Dorcas stay in Paradise Earth for the past few months … … Since he did not stay, why was Dorcas here?
Could it be? The spatial seal outside Paradise Earth was broken?
However, the Spatial Seal on their bodies was connected to the Spatial Seal on the outside. Their own Spatial Seal was still intact, which meant that the Spatial Seal on the outside should also be intact.
On this side, Ullus, Sea Eagle, and Yakee were all in a state of confusion. On the other side, Dorcas had already skipped over them and introduced the people in the arena.
