What surprised the young white man was not the act of stealing a curse.
Rather, it was the fact that the Ghost Captain, who seemed to use this skin most often, possessed such a powerful curse?
In a moment of distraction, a huge fireball came crashing towards the young white man. He quickly dodged to the side, narrowly evading it.
When he regained his focus, he noticed that the opponent had already killed Little Five and was now charging at him.
"That was too fast..."
Sweat was trickling down the young white man’s forehead. He had no intention of directly confronting the opponent, and he turned around to run away.
At this moment, however, he noticed a giant red wolf resurrecting not far away. It sprang at the Ghost Captain and blocked his progress.
"Second Brother, I’ve pinned him down. Quick, strike now!"
As the boy shouted this, several more wounds appeared on his body.
The young white man could not delay any longer, and quickly halted, turned, and once again threw his flying dagger.
To his surprise, the Ghost Captain did not even attempt to dodge. He appeared to be unaware of his existence and ignored the thrown dagger, focusing only on attacking the Blood Wolf in front of him.
The dagger again struck its target precisely.
[You have successfully stolen a word: Death’s Punishment. The experience and lifespan you lose each time you die will quintuple.]
The young white man’s eyes skipped a beat. This curse was even more outrageous than the previous one.
More importantly, he actually stole back two curses consecutively. Did the Ghost Captain’s skin curse surpass his talent words by chance?
If that was indeed the case, the Ghost Captain still chose this skin despite keeping these two potent curses. It can only mean that the talent of this skin is formidable enough to make people ignore these curses!
The young white man was even more interested in this unknown talent. Perhaps, this was the reason why the Ghost Captain was so powerful?
Snapping back to reality, he quickly threw another dagger while the Ghost Captain was still entangled with the crimson Blood Wolf from afar.
The scenario was almost the same as before. The dagger zipped through the air without hindrance, heading towards the back of the Ghost Captain. Even though the Captain tried to knock it away with his elbow, it still left a deep wound.
[You have successfully stolen a word: Scorching Sun. Once you come into contact with sunlight, your body will experience a burning pain as if incinerated by flames, causing continuous life drain.]
The young white man was speechless. He drew another curse, thinking about how unlucky he had been today.
However, he was not surprised by this curse, because Scorching Sun is a common curse affecting every Vampire.
After reviewing the effect of the word, the young white man didn’t hesitate and immediately threw another dagger, not believing in this peculiar pattern.
This person must possess talents, likely not just one. He refused to believe that he could draw curses four times consecutively.
The result however...
[You have successfully stolen a word: Daydreaming. During the day, you will always be shrouded by immense sleepiness and unable to live or fight normally.]
Even the mild-tempered young white man couldn’t help but let out a curse.
At the same time, he also realized something was wrong.
Stealing back curses four times in a row, how could it be such a coincidence!
The young white man hesitated for a moment, chose to throw another dagger.
However, this time, his target was not the Ghost Captain, but another woman who was closest to him.
The Sagittarius under the ID ’Watching Flowers in the Fog’ was busy managing the many summoned creatures she had called.
The flying dagger whizzed by. The Sagittarius quickly detected the danger, but her actions were a beat too slow to dodge it.
The next moment, the dagger made its mark.
[Your attack successfully hit the opponent, but no words were stolen. Your stealing talent inexplicably failed.]
The young white man’s eyebrows furrowed deeper. He had hit the 20% failure rate again....
By now, he had used up his five steal-talent attempts for the day.
Regaining his senses, the young white man looked solemnly towards the Ghost Captain in the distance, took out his Magic Wand, and tried to chant a major magic spell towards the captain’s direction.
Raging Thunder Elements quickly gathered at the tip of the Magic Wand.
However, just as the spell was about to take form, all of the Thunder Elements disappeared abruptly!
The spell had failed inexplicably once again...
The young white man took a breath, and now he was fully certain.
The Ghost Captain possessed some way of manipulating probability — a probability that included magic, talent, and even possibly item drops!
This also explained why during the last time Angelia was killed, the map fragment dropped precisely. It was not due to the opponent’s luck, but a result of manipulation!
This information was extremely important. Even if it drained all his steal attempts and left him covered in troublesome curses, confirming this information was worth it.
From now on, they absolutely could not take out any map fragments in front of the opponent. Because as soon as the Captain discovered it, he could manipulate a single kill to drop them reliably.
If they lost even one more fragment, their entire siege would be hopeless.
This news must be communicated to everyone as soon as possible...
The young white man immediately prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, the distant battle between Mu You and the young Werewolf had ended again. The result was predictable. Drawing on his last death’s experience, the young Werewolf held out for a while longer, but still ended up killed on the spot.
