Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 999  Effect Of The Title

"I know you must have a lot of questions..." Anastasia said after standing up. "You can ask whatever you want and I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities."

"Questions, huh..." Evan muttered in a low voice while thinking about the things he wanted to ask.

Although there were many things on his mind, in the end, he chose the topic he was most curious about.

"Can you tell me something about your title 'The Progenitor Of Shadow Dragons'?"

He was very curious about this title because earlier when he saw Anastasia, he received a notification that this title nullified the effect of his "The Cursed One" title.

When Anastasia heard Evan, she wasn't surprised as if she had already expected him to ask this question so she replied in a calm voice.

"My title, 'The Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragons,' gives me many benefits, but the most important one is immunity against all curses regardless of their rank."

"Immunity against all curses regardless of their rank..." Evan repeated what Anastasia said, and suddenly, his eyes widened in shock as he realized something.

'Does it mean my title, "The Cursed One," doesn't only affect me but also the people around me?' Evan thought inwardly with a frown on his face.

At first, when he saw the notification telling him the effect of his "The Cursed One" title was nullified by the title "The Progenitor of The Shadow Dragons," he thought this title was somehow affecting him and surpassing the effect of his cursed title.

But after hearing Anastasia explain that her title gives her immunity against all curses regardless of their rank, he finally realized that it wasn't the "Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragons" title affecting him.

Instead, it was the opposite. His title, "The Cursed One," was somehow trying to affect Anastasia. But because of the effect of her title, which nullifies all curses, his title wasn't able to affect her.

'I thought this title only affects me, but it seems it affects the people around me as well...' Evan said while clenching his fist, still unable to understand how this title affects other people around him.

From the effect of Anastasia's title, he could infer that his title, "The Cursed One," was trying to place a curse on Anastasia, but that curse was nullified by her title.

But the question was, what kind of curse was his title trying to place on her? And was she the only one, or were Cedar and other people he met also affected?

The only reason he found out that his title was trying to affect Anastasia was because of her title, "Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragons," which nullified the effect of his title. But unlike her, other people didn't have a title that could save them from curses, so even if they were cursed by his title, he wouldn't be able to find out.

'My title, "The Creator Of The Primordial Shadow Realm," also gives me immunity to all curses below Origin Level and decreases the effect of curses that are Origin Level by 50%...' Evan thought with narrowed eyes and took a deep breath.

'The effect of the "Cursed One" title was reduced by 50% because of this title, which means the curse from the "Cursed One" title is Origin Grade. I don't think there are many people like Anastasia in Utopia who have something to save them from a curse that is Origin Level.'

Evan looked at Anastasia who was standing a short distance away from him.

He hesitated a little before deciding to ask her. 'Although I don't want to tell anyone about this, it is possible that she already knows since she spent a long time with me.'

"Do you know anything about my title 'The Cursed One'?"

Anastasia visibly sighed when she heard Evan and spoke after a moment.

"You never spoke anything about this title. If not for my title, 'The Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragons,' which alerted me when your title was trying to affect me I wouldn't even know about it..." Anastasia paused after saying this and continued after a moment. "In the past, I asked you many times about this title, but you just said that it was because of your powers and your race that you received it."

'My powers and race...' Evan suddenly thought about what Azroth had told him and a deep frown appeared on his face.

'When I asked him about the Eltharon race, he said something like it is a cursed race. Was the curse he was talking about this title? Just what the fu*k is this title?'

Evan was not particularly concerned about the title's effect on himself; so far, it had only affected his emotions and nothing else.

But he wasn't sure what kind of effect this title would have on other people, especially on people like Cedar and others who occasionally came into contact with him.

'Maybe, although I didn't have my memories, deep down I was aware of the effect of this title which is why when I was in Arora World, I wanted to stay away from other people,' Evan thought and sighed as he leaned back in his chair. 'Should I stop meeting with other people?'

He looked at the stars shining brightly in the sky with a conflicted look on his face, unsure of what to do.

When Anastasia saw Evan's conflicted expression, she sighed and walked towards him. Standing behind him, she placed her hands on his shoulders and spoke in a calm voice.

"You know, you don't need to think too much about it because I don't think this curse affects everyone around you."

Evan, who was leaning back in his chair raised his head backwards and asked in a confused voice, "What do you mean?"

"I told you the best effect of my title is that it gives me immunity against all curses, but it also allows me to see if a person is cursed or not. I looked at Sylvan and others before we left, and none of them are cursed," Anastasia said and added after a second, "I think there must be some kind of condition that needs to be met before this curse works on other people, though I don't know what kind of condition."

Evan was surprised when he heard Anastasia could see if a person was cursed or not and when he heard Sylvan and others were not affected by his title, he sighed in relief. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, like Anastasia, he also didn't know how the curse effect of his title affected other people.

Suddenly, Evan thought of something and quickly turned around, looking at Anastasia with a serious expression.

"You said you can see if people are cursed or not, right?"

Anastasia nodded when she heard him and she already knew what Evan was going to ask next.

Seeing her nod, Evan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Then... What do you see when you look at me?"

Anastasia was silent for a moment, contemplating whether she should tell him the truth or not, but seeing his serious look, she decided to speak honestly.

"From head to toe, you are shrouded in an aura of curse. Whether it is your body or blood, everything has a thick black aura like the Abyss that wants to devour everything. Honestly, I've seen many curses in my lifetime, but never anything similar to yours."

"...I see" Evan sighed and shook his head. He wasn't surprised to hear that he was shrouded in a curse aura from head to toe, and even his blood was cursed as he had already expected it.

Seeing Evan sigh, Anastasia spoke again and her words surprised him.

"Actually, the current aura of the curse is way weaker than before."

"Weaker than before..." Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard her, but he soon understood what she was talking about. "You mean the aura of the curse around Azroth, right?"

Anastasia nodded her head. "Yes, previously, the aura of the curse around you was so dense that I couldn't even see your life force while looking at your curse, but now, although the aura is still very dense, it is much weaker compared to before."

Hearing Anastasia, Evan thought about his title, The Creator Of The Primordial Shadow Realm which reduced the effect of his curse by 50%, and how the effect of the curse was further reduced by 10% in the Tomb of the Ancient.

'I still don't know why the effect of the Cursed One Title was reduced by 10% when I was in the Tomb...' He thought but soon stopped pondering it as he knew he wasn't going to get answers to these questions for now.

After stopping thinking about the cursed one title, he looked back at Anastasia, who was standing in front of him, and asked about another thing he was curious about.

"Can you tell me more about the shadow realm?"
