âHurry up! Everyone, get out! Let him cure my grandmaâs curse!â
Shado shouted before jumping up to chase away the people.
Now, her grandmotherâs curse had begun to manifest, and her lower body had been petrified. She
began to worry that her grandmother would be beyond salvation if she were left in this condition any
longer.
The high priestess, the astrologist, and the others at the side immediately retreated after looking at
each other. It was an undeniable fact that the curse in Shadoâs body was already gone.
The prophecy passed down by the ancestors could not be wrong.
Following suit, the high priestess yelled, âEveryone, leave the building and let Lord Saint cure the
village chiefâs curse! Hurry, hurry!â
Only then did Alex know that Shadoâs grandmother was the chief of the village.
Soon, only Alex, the village chief, and his daughter, Bubbles, were left in the building. The little one who
had been following Alex had suffered a lot lately.
It was unclear if it was an illusion, but her gaze and the expression on her little face intensified as if she
had begun to have a certain understanding of the world around her, feeling sorry for her father. Her
glistening eyes were rich in emotion.
She then turned her head and looked at the village chief with a face of interest.
âPlease forgive me, Lord Saint, for being unable to salute you because of my immobility!â Shadoâs
grandmother said.
Alex waved his hand. Seeing a bed next to him, he gently placed his daughter on it. He turned back
and walked around the grandmother. As a result, he realized that the curse in her body was centered
around the heart.
An ancient rune was hidden in the heartâs center. It was the runeâs effect that pulled in all the evil Chi
from her body.
If he wanted to help her dispel the curse that had already taken effect, he had to remove the cursed
rune hidden in her heart.
Seeing Alexâs somewhat awkward expression, the grandmother asked, âLord Saint, is it a little too
difficult to cure? This curse of mine is definitely harder to handle than the umnanifested ones. Never
mind, Iâve lived long enough. Iâm already satisfied that I can see the Lord Saintâs advent in my
remaining life. From now on, our Naga tribe will put our faiths in Lord Saint⦠Lord Saint, please take
care of my granddaughter Shado too.â
Meanwhile, the manifested curse had surpassed the navel.
Knowing that he could no longer delay any further, Alex said, âI need to place my hand on your heart
area so that I can drag out the source of your curse source. With your consent, Iâll do it now.â
âThe heart area?â
When the grandmother lowered her head and took a look, a faint blush appeared on the face that was
more beautiful than most supreme beauty stars on Earth. She said reverently, âLord Saint, youâre our
Naga tribeâs master. Not to mention putting your hand on me, even if you wanted me to do anything,
Iâm willing to⦠Besides, Iâm already. Ahâ¦â
Before she could finish, Alex immediately placed his hand on her.
âOh, this is a⦠Superb sensation!â
She had also said that abruptly. Clearly, what she said was still different from the feeling in reality. But
soon, she felt an unprecedented, immense pain, as if Alexâs hand had bored itself into her chest and
dug the flesh on her heart.
She could not move her lower body, yet her upper body couldnât help but tremble like a leaf. She
grimaced in pain.
âThe source of the curse is in your heart. Itâs an inborn curse type ancient rune. With the curseâs onset
now, it has merged with your heart. Iâm equivalently digging it out of your heart alive now. Pain will be
inevitable. If you feel pain, just shout. it out!â Alex said.
The grandmother shook her head and closed her mouth tightly.
Alex looked at her and asked, âLetâs chat then. The extraction process will be a bit slow. You said
youâve lived for a long time. How old are you?â
âIâm 997 years old this year. I should be considered as the eldest one in the entire Naga tribe.â
âOh-ho, sheâs really a millennium-old demon!â
âThatâs quite old, but you donât look old at all,â said Alex. âI thought you were just twenty seven years
old. Your appearance is well maintained. What kind of cosmetics do you usually use?â
The grandmother was puzzled.
There were no such things as cosmetics in the Naga tribe.
