Chapter 718 Chaos Curse, Mark of the Abyss

Chapter 718 Chaos Curse, Mark of the Abyss

What would the Pope even obtain from using his ability this time? And why did he target Alina and Astria of all people?

Doesn’t the Pope fear the backlash if everyone were to know that he used his power on Alina, who is the Church of Wisdom’s Divine Maiden?

And why did he choose to spare Wisteria from his ability? Does it mean something to him? Or is this part of his over-all plan?

Whatever the answer to these questions are, Wisteria had not time to ponder out about them.

Her life and her allies’ life are in danger after all, hence she had to prioritize it first!

Seeing her allies’ condition was already an enough impetus for Wisteria to make her move, and she did not hesitate to reveal some of her secrets.

"Hom!"

Without any hesitation on her side, Wisteria activated her Digi Lens, a device that all Cosmic Guards had installed on their eyes.

Through the use of this device, Wisteria can see if a targeted object is suffering from the effects of curses or any strange abilities.

No matter what kind of curse or ability was used, the Digi Lens will detect it, although it may not show how to deal with these said abiliites...

________________

In today’s case, Wisteria hoped to use this gadget to identify any malady or curse inside Alina’s body.

"Hom!"

The activation of her Digi Lens did not stir any commotion at all, as the gadget itself only scanned Alina in a non-invasive manner.

"Shiing...." Astoundingly tiny packets of energy were the only objects released by the gadget, and they only stayed inside Alina’s body for an extremely short amount of time. No damage or injuries were afflicted by these rays, and the most that they did to Alina could be a slight stinging sensation on her skin.

"Click."

The scanning took more than a second before it finished, which is enough time for either Alina and Astria to attack Wisteria. Fortunately for her, the two women still did not move, even when Alina had seemingly felt the scanning prowess of the Digi Lens.

Wisteria barely breathed a sigh of relief once her scanning was done, and she hastily deactivated her gadget’s scanning power lest it might disturb Alina.

She then focused on the results of the scanning, which glowed bright red on her gadget’s interactive hub.

-Scan Target: Alina-

-Power Level: Approximately Sixth Stage-

-Scanned Abilities: Time Magic, Esper Power, Dark Magic, All-Seeing Eyes.-

-Abnormalities Detected: Chaos Curse, Mark of the Abyss.-

Just as what Wisteria expected, her Digi Lens had detected most of the abilities that Alina had shown so far.

Her Esper Power, her Time Magic, and her notorious Dark Magic had been perfectly observed by her gadget, and even Alina’s All-Seeing Eyes had been detected too.

Such accuracy made Wisteria feel more confident about her gadget, leading her to believe that this will reveal any malady that might come from Alina.

Wisteria’s confidence on her gadget however was quickly shattered, once she saw the abnormalities shown in the hub

Oh, and aside from her confidence being shattered, Wisteria’s secure feelings to herself was also now gone, as she realized the enormity of her situation.

Wisteria looked like she wanted to run away again this time, and her reason for it was perfectly justified.

There is no way that Wisteria will stay on one spot, especially when someone near her was affected by a curse.

And even if that someone was Alina, Wisteria will not hesitate on running away from her.

Speaking of Alina, Wisteria’s Digi Lens had detected that Alina was affected by two curses...

And these curses were not just any normal curses.

These curses, according to Wisteria’s knowledge, are actually some of the most horrifying curses that could exist in the Multiverse!

________________

Through the intensive educational program by the Cosmic Guards, Wisteria had managed to learn a lot of things about the Multiverse, especially about the dangers that lurk in it.

All the dangerous beasts, Power Systems, and Entities had been discussed all throughout Wisteria’s training, which left her extremely wary and worried, especially during her first few days as a Cosmic Guard.

Amongst these dangers, the ones related to the Abyss and Chaos were the large part of the discussions.

The majority of the cases solved by the Cosmic Guards usually revolve between these two distorted entities, so for them to be discussed is just normal.

Wisteria could barely stop herself from running away, as she realized that her ally Alina, who was one of the most level-headed people she met, was actually affected by the Chaos Curse.

Granted, her Digi Lens did not indicate what effects this Chaos Curse had on Alina. But whatever these effects will be, Wisteria was sure that it is not something that she would want to witness.

Just the detection of the Chaos Curse had already plummeted Wisteria’s optimism, and it reduced her to a rookie worried for her life.

Such degradation of her mood is bad enough for Wisteria already, but to her great misfortune, this was just the beginning...

At the mention of the Abyss, Wisteria’s face turned paler, as if she had remembered horrible memories about this term. Her fingers were clenched and her whole body was rigid too, which further displayed her heightened anxiety this time.

It was only after a few calming breaths to herself that Wisteria was able to settle her emotions, but even with this, she still retained her fearful visage.

While the Chaos Curse was a curse that the Cosmic Guards has knowledge of, the Mark of the Abyss was a curse that virtually everyone had no knowledge about.

What was only known about this curse was that anyone that it affects always ends up in a horrible fate that is even worse than death.

Being burned in an eternal fire....

Being shredded and eaten by Abyss Monsters for forever....

Or becoming a sexual slave for a Lust-Filled Abyss Monster...

These are some of the effects that the Mark of Abyss had on its victims, and even up to this day, these victims continued to suffer this way.

There are no remedies or solutions that were able to free these victims from these horrible experiences, leaving them in pure agony for a very, very long time...

If Alina was just affected by one curse, Wisteria was confident that the former might still survive. After all, Alina was an extremely talented woman, so she might find a way to absolve one curse.

But Alina was affected by two curses, and both are just as bad as the other...

No matter how talented Alina was, in face of two powerful curses, she’s nothing more but a weak weed.

She might give a good struggle, but in the end she will still be plucked away and thrown to the fire....
