Immediately, several people also followed the gaze of the two, looking in the direction where Reine was. In the next second, everyone revealed expressions of shock, joy, and confusion.
This... what's happening?
Trevo and Nathaniel exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with deep confusion!
They had just been about to help Reine and Vinica, but...
In just a few seconds, these two had dealt with the enemy???
Because no one had seen how Reine had dispatched the Great Knight and the Spineback Sea Serpent, their minds couldn't quite make sense of it.
They didn't know whether it was Reine or Vinica who had defeated the enemy.
After all, they had already experienced Reine's strength in the training room of the administrative hall of Fishing Port Town, and in their current judgment, it was highly unlikely that he could have accomplished this.
'It must have been Vinica using some kind of powerful Sorcery Scroll!'
'As for not sensing the energy fluctuations of witchcraft, that's because the battle on the main battlefield was too intense, and the witchcraft from the enemy Wizards and attacks from the Spineback Sea Serpent interfered with our perception.'
But no matter what, the victory of Reine and Vinica was a great thing for the Dragon-Fish Squad!
This meant that the unfavorable situation they were initially in now had a chance to be turned around!
The morale of the Dragon-Fish Squad instantly soared at a visible rate.
What was good for the Dragon-Fish Squad was clearly not good for Nehru.
The Dragan Empire Navy Squad, which he had almost cornered, now regained vitality, which caused his complexion to instantly turn ashen!
There was one thing he still couldn't understand.
How exactly did those two unstable elements break through his curse interference and kill Hoffman?
But given the current situation on the main battlefield, Nehru seemed unable to spare a hand.
Thus, without other options, Nehru's best choice was to cast curses again and deal with those two unstable elements to stabilize the situation.
When Nehru checked on the two again, he discovered that it seemed the female Wizard Apprentice was suffering from his Pain Curse, which meant the problem must lie with the young Great Knight.
Perhaps the opponent had some kind of rare Sorcery Scroll or witchcraft artifact for dispelling curses.
After a moment's thought, Nehru made a decision!
Because whether it was a Sorcery Scroll or a witchcraft artifact, the likelihood was that it could only dispel a curse once, after which it would either be used up or it would require time before it could be effective again.
Therefore, in any case, the simplest way to deal with it was clear.
That was to increase the power of the curse and the frequency of the curses, completely overwhelming the opponent's ability to resist!
Nehru's expression became stern, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. With a short dagger emitting dark light, he fiercely slit his own left wrist; as a large amount of blood sprayed out, the dagger's dark radiance intensified, absorbing all the blood in an instant.
Meanwhile, Nehru's lips moved slightly, and he began to chant a spell.
As for why Nehru didn't opt for a distant single-target elemental witchcraft attack, this was because his path as a Witchery Curses Master greatly differed from that of an elemental Wizard.
After successfully advancing to a Witchery Curses Master, his focus shifted towards negative energy and curses.
It wasn't that Witchery Curses Masters couldn't execute elemental witchcraft like the Water Arrow Art, but rather that it was not cost-effective.
For one thing, the power would be weaker in comparison; secondly, the speed of casting and the spiritual power consumed held no significant advantages.
However, when casting curse-related witchcraft, it was completely different for a Witchery Curses Master, who received a kind of enhancement in this area.
So, for Nehru, using curse-based witchcraft to attack, although still costly, was extremely fast, consumed very little spiritual power, and had much stronger lethality! Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Nonetheless, although a Witchery Curses Master's methods are bizarre and varied, they still adhere to the basic principle of equivalent exchange. Releasing a relatively weak curse might only require a single drop of blood.
Just like what he had recently used against Reine and Vinica.
But if one wanted to cast multiple curses, or execute a powerful curse to attack the enemy, the price to pay would be much greater.
Such as a large amount of blood...
Or even sacrificing a part of the body...
Meanwhile, Reine in the distance glanced at the pale Vinica and quickly walked over to support the twin-tailed young woman, asking with concern, "Miss Vinica, how are you feeling?"
"I'm all right, Lord Reine. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I have been struck by a Pain Curse."
"Pain Curse?" Reine questioned with a hint of confusion.
He had just been affected by what seemed to be a Weakness Curse, so clearly, the Pain Curse was a different matter.
"Exactly, a person affected by a Pain Curse will constantly feel an intense agony. Lord Reine, I'm afraid I won't be of much help in the battle to come."
"A Pain Curse cast by a fully-fledged Wizard will greatly hinder my ability to concentrate and cast witchcraft. Currently, I don't have a good way to counter this problem."
"However, you can rest assured that if I just stay quietly here, the effects of the Pain Curse on me will be much less, and it will naturally fade after some time has passed."
