Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

134: despairErlichandi, who was running at full speed, suddenly tripped as if caught by an invisible force. His body lurched forward, stumbling before crashing heavily to the ground.

His palms and knees scraped against the ground, sending sharp pain shooting through him instantly. But he had no time to care about that. He scrambled up from the ground, clutching his chest, and continued to run desperately.

”Something must have happened!”

Fear and unease filled Erlichandi’s heart. ”It’ll be fine, it has to be fine...” he kept repeating silently in his mind, as if that could somehow make things better.

As he continued his frantic sprint, the heavenly screen suddenly tore apart as if ripped by an invisible giant hand. The scene instantly split into two parts.

On one side was Erlichandi running home in panic, his steps chaotic, his breathing growing increasingly ragged. On the other side, villagers in the village were being brutally massacred.

The bound villagers wore expressions of terror and despair, their bodies covered in wounds and bloodstains—a horrific sight. The black-clad figures swung their weapons mercilessly, carrying out cruel slaughter.

Jiang Di, Erlichandi’s father, was among them.

He and several other village men with magic, after negotiations with these black-clad figures failed, chose to resist without hesitation.

Furious, they unleashed their magic, engaging in a heart-stopping battle with the black-clad figures.

However, these black-clad figures were clearly powerful. Their attacks came like a storm, gradually overwhelming Jiang Di and the other villagers.

Watching the villagers fall one by one, the few men with magic grew frantic with anxiety.

Acting decisively, they used all their strength to hurl the nearby children away, hoping they could escape this disaster and find a sliver of hope.

Then, they turned to face the black-clad figures, eyes blazing with fury, determined to perish together with them.

Yet, despite their desperate resistance, they were ultimately outnumbered.

In the end, they fell one by one into pools of blood, their screams and wails piercing the sky...

Jiang Di’s father tightly embraced his wife, as if using every ounce of his strength to shield her in his arms.

His breathing had grown extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind. But with his last effort, he whispered in his wife’s ear, ”These black-clad figures... they’re not those nobles. Someone else is behind them...”

Jiang Di’s mother felt as if a knife were twisting in her heart. She couldn’t accept that the man who loved her so deeply was leaving her like this.

Grief-stricken, she stared at her husband lying dead in her arms, tears flooding out like a breached dam.

At the same time, her gaze fell upon the brutally massacred villagers. Their horrific state filled her heart with endless hatred.

Jiang Di’s mother thought of a forbidden spell—a curse that came at the cost of one’s life.

She knew full well the terrible price she would pay if she cast this forbidden curse. But at this moment, she could no longer care about that.

”Since you won’t let us live, then let’s all go to Hell together!” Jiang Di’s mother said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with resolve and hatred.

Jiang Di’s mother stood there, her lips trembling slightly as if murmuring something quietly. As she spoke, an eerie atmosphere gradually spread.

”God of Curses, I offer my life in exchange. I curse the mastermind behind all this—may they never find peace for generations, plagued by misfortune for eternity! May they suffer unbearable agony!” Her voice, though not loud, was filled with endless hatred and determination.

The moment she finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed stirred by a powerful force, beginning to twist violently.

The once-calm space grew abnormally agitated, as if countless demons were roaring in the darkness.

And that dark magic surged forth like a raging tide, continuously gathering. It swirled and coiled around Jiang Di’s mother, forming a massive black vortex.

This vortex spun endlessly, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

The black-clad figures sensed something amiss and tried to stop her, but were repelled by an invisible force.

The light of the forbidden curse grew brighter, as if it would devour the entire world.

At the same time, in a mysterious and ancient castle, a man stood by the window, gazing into the distance. His figure was shrouded in shadow, making his face difficult to discern.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly, as if sensing something unusual.

His voice was low and cold, tinged with disdain: ”A curse? Hah! Overestimating yourself!”

These words echoed through the empty castle, like a mockery and scorn toward some unknown existence.

The man’s tone revealed confidence and power, as if he cared nothing for so-called curses.

Erlichandi finally reached the village entrance. The scene before him made his eyes widen in shock.

The village was engulfed in flames. Villagers’ bodies lay scattered on the ground, blood staining the earth red.

And his mother stood at the village center, enveloped in a black glow.

”Mom!” Erlichandi rushed forward recklessly.

At that moment, the forbidden curse activated. A massive black shockwave spread outward, destroying everything in its path. Erlichandi was struck by the shockwave and sent flying.

When he woke again, the village had become a ruin, and his mother was nowhere to be seen.

And those black-clad figures had all vanished without a trace.

Erlichandi knelt on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes. He swore he would find the mastermind behind this and avenge the villagers, his father, and his mother!
