Chapter 323: Chapter 320: Blood Curse (5000-word chapter, asking for monthly tickets!)

Sally, or rather, the First Generation Witch Melada who had taken possession of Sally’s body, gazed at Tang Qi without concealing her admiration.

“These findings, how did you investigate them all? As for the truth of that night, besides me, there was no second Informer.”

The First Generation Witch didn’t seem in a hurry to take action. The Doomsday Magic emanating from within her was much more tremendous and frightening than that of the Misfortune Witch’s secondary personality, and even more than when Sally used it. The mere Omen Breath contained in the magic force deterred everyone from making any rash moves.

As for Tang Qi, he seemed oblivious to the “predicament” in front of him and answered Melada’s question.

“No, besides you, there are other Informers, such as a fragment of Norma’s personality or the Immortal Earl who has just perished.”

“I and Sally discovered a Curio within Winston Town, a crude Small Knife, and since you were adopted by Norma with Diana, you ought to know what sort of a Curio that is, don’t you?”

At these words, Melada seemed to plunge into her memories.

In the dim World, she opened her eyes and let out a mute laugh, “That Small Knife was always carried by him, even Diana would receive a rebuke upon touching it. In my curiosity that one time…”

As if touching upon an unpleasant memory, Melada, borrowing Sally’s face, revealed a hint of resentment and incomprehension.

Tang Qi smiled faintly, confirming something in his mind: “Melada is hidden within Sally’s body, yet has not touched the soul.”

Without beating around the bush, he kindly resolved the puzzles in her mind.

“That Curio is called ‘Norma’s Sin’!”

“Norma, that is the Immortal Earl’s original name, a very special, pitiful young man. He was also the love of Count Samuel Winston’s life, until an exploration one time where Samuel Winston died aboard the Immortal…”

“This is impossible!”

Having finished recounting that bizarre, eerie love story, everyone experienced a great shock.

Melada herself seemed as if she was unraveling.

She shook her head involuntarily, as if trying to expel the information she had just received.

Unfortunately, Tang Qi’s story was the truth. Once she grasped this, the memories locked deep in her Mind, along with many doubts and confusions, all at once found resolution.

Why had the Immortal Earl never taken a wife?

Why did he suddenly kill his most trusted adjutant?

Why did he never remove his mask?

Why, when she attacked the Earl at night after reaching adulthood, had she not only been rejected but also suffered a severe beating?

“Huh~”

Due to the emotional impact, the magic that Melada released showed fluctuations, almost causing several Wild Transcendents’ Defense to collapse, turning them directly into “Slaves of Misfortune.”

Fortunately, Melada was after all a powerful Witch who had lived for hundreds of years and quickly recovered from the shock.

Upon looking up, she saw an evilly amused smile on Tang Qi’s face.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

However, Melada appeared to be thoroughly provoked, even forcibly suppressing her urge to kill the fellow before her.

“With this alone, you guessed my existence?”

“No, this story can only illustrate that the Immortal Earl will no longer give his affection to anyone. Diana is one, and you even more so.”

“Diana may have grown up oblivious to the Earl’s reality due to the affection she received, but you—a maid who was adopted at the same time and completely ignored—should understand very clearly what kind of person the Immortal Earl truly is. You had some motive for covering up for him.”

“Of course, it may not be for Divinity, perhaps you are just infatuated with the Earl. With all your schemings, you only seek to see the Earl one more time after hundreds of years, to continue this forbidden romance that no one else cares about.”

“Boom”

Every word from Tang Qi sounded like a provocation.

Aside from the surge of Doomsday Magic, there was no other Abnormal Movement.

Melada’s patience was surprisingly good.

Only the aura emanating from within her became increasingly dangerous.

Using Sally’s body, she bore the external resemblance to “Diana,” yet due to the influence of Doomsday Magic, not a trace of Holy Aura could be found on her at the moment. Shrouded in grey-black mist, she was encompassed by Flowers of Misfortune.

She seemed to be the antithesis of the saintly Diana, a Witch bringing Misfortune and omen.

Despite feeling every hair stand on end, alarm bells ringing in his head, Tang Qi boldly continued: “You obtained great power from Divinity, but disdain to share it with the other Ancestors, especially since you knew of the strong curse and Pollution embedded in Divinity. Therefore, you arranged everything, utilizing your Divination ability.”

“You prophesied the return of the Earl as well as the Daughter of Destiny. This was not difficult; the key to Divination lies in information, of which you possessed far more than the other Ancestors. Moreover, being a Witch with a terrifying Talent, you had arranged your plans centuries ahead.”

“And my vague guess about your existence is because of the Thirteen Ancestors; all twelve appeared except for you, who should have been the key. Sally told me that when the Ancestors fell into slumber and their descendants also lost their power, Esmeralda, the leader, could still seal the invading Doomsday Magic by relying on the power of the Ancestors. Then, I surmised that you had not left the Exotic Realm, but were simply in Concealment behind the scenes.”

“Besides, you have made far too many prophecies and, in order to ensure their fulfillment, orchestrated some coincidences that should not have occurred. How else would the other Ancestors know that Diana’s Corpse was right beneath the Earl Castle, if not for you, the one responsible for burying the corpse?”
