"This is...the teacher's breath!"

Almost the moment when Katherine said this, a system prompt flashed in Zhu Lin's head.

"System prompt: Player 'Ryel Orland' completes the side mission 'Shadow of Fuxing', mission reward: Free talent point X1~"

The condition for completing this side mission is to find the whereabouts of Catherine's missing teacher. Now that Catherine felt the other party's breath, she naturally let the system judge that the task was completed.

The task was achieved so easily and he got a little free talent, which also made Zhu Lin mutter unconsciously. After all, this was really too easy to complete, and unconsciously made him feel a little ominous premonition.

However, Catherine could not have thought of this at all. After all, in her opinion, her teacher might have died with the enemy in the battle three days ago. But now she actually felt the other party's aura, which means that the possibility of him still alive is quite high. For Catherine, of course, there is nothing more pleasant than this. So, regardless of Zhu Lin's strange expression, he took a step towards the position where the breath came.

Zhu Lin, who seemed to think of something, also looked bad and followed Catherine's footsteps. At the same time, various thoughts in his mind quickly became active.

(The curse of the devil is theoretically basically ineffective for magicians. As long as you are infected with alien magic, it is enough to break it down with your own magic power. But everything is not absolute. There are precedents for magicians to infect the devil's curse. Well, I hope I was wrong, otherwise, there will be a tough battle to fight in the next...)

Relying on the gain of magic, Zhu Lin and the others quickly approached the destination, but the closer they got to the destination, the ugly their faces became, because both of them felt a sense of depression, especially above their heads, a large area of ​​dull black clouds covered the entire sky, covering the sunlight without any drops. Combined with the ominous aura, there was an indescribable smell.

Just as Zhu Lin was thinking about various things, Catherine suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Teacher, are you really okay? That's great!"

While Katherine shouted this sentence, Zhu Lin also saw a figure not far away.

It was a back wearing a black robe. From the back, Teacher Catherine's physique was not tall. Her slightly hunched back and gray hair made the figure look very old. Without even turning around, Zhu Lin had already figured out the other person's appearance. He must be a white-bearded old man with wrinkles on his face.

Hearing Catherine's voice, the old man with his back to the two moved his shoulders slightly, and then an old voice rang slowly.

"Is it Catherine? Haha, there seems to be another strange friend I haven't seen before. I didn't go back for too long, so I came to see me specially? Thank you so much..."

Although Catherine did not say what she wanted, the old man had guessed the truth based on her personality. When he heard the familiar voice, Catherine couldn't help but approach him.

"Yes, teacher, you have been missing for three days. My father and I are very worried about your safety. Since you are fine, why don't you come back? Also, what about that monster? Have you destroyed it?"

After not seeing each other for three days, Catherine had too many questions in her mind to get answers, but the old man did not answer, but raised her head slightly thoughtfully.

"The time is almost done, Catherine and the little friend who came from afar, you are lucky and you can have the opportunity to witness this great moment!"

Catherine, who was confused by the old man's words, was about to ask clearly, but was pulled by Zhu Lin, who had noticed something, with a black face. Just as Catherine's puzzled eyes came, Zhu Lin pointed at the top of the heads of the two.

Catherine followed Zhu Lin's finger and saw a black vortex hidden among a large thick dark cloud. Because the color is very close to the color of the dark cloud, Catherine once ignored the existence of this black vortex.

However, in just a few minutes, several black auras flew from all directions again. These black auras were all concentrated in the sky above Teacher Catherine's head, and they twisted into a huge black vortex there.

The ominous aura that the two of them felt before came from this. Seeing this thing far beyond the explanation of their knowledge, Catherine's face also became strange. Obviously, she had begun to feel something was wrong.

"Teacher, this thing is..."

As a result, the old man did not answer Catherine's question, but slowly turned his back to his bodies. Although the magician could use magic power to sense, the magic power around the old man was once very chaotic. Neither Catherine nor Zhu Lin could see the old man's face. Until now, he turned around and calmly showed his current face in front of the two.

"!"

Like Zhu Lin's initial guess, Catherine's teacher was an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face. However, at this moment, the other party's old face turned into two strange halves with the bridge of his nose as the dividing line. The left half of his face still looked like a human, but the old man's entire right face was covered with a layer of fine black scales, and the entire right eye was constantly releasing an ominous blood-colored light.

"Teacher...you are..."

He didn't care about Zhu Lin's very ugly face and Catherine was shocked and almost speechless. The old man smiled at the two of them calmly, but because of the terrifying right face, the originally kind smile became extremely hideous and terrifying.

"As you two see, I was completely dead in the past, and now I am about to welcome the power of the great devil Lord Digacres to usher in a new life. You are lucky enough to catch up with this grand moment..."

Speaking of this, the old man stretched out his hands towards the whole sky with a passionate face.

"...Mr. Digarex, your most faithful servant petitions you again, please show your great power and give your humble servant a perfect new life!!!"

With the lines spoken by the old man, the black vortex gathered above his head also rotated wildly at the same time. Countless black lightnings continued to gather and explode in the center of the vortex. Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Lin ignored Catherine, who was completely shocked by the series of changes, and turned around and pinched out a fireball the size of a washbasin.

The situation in front of him was very obvious. Although Catherine's teacher successfully killed the monster when she was fighting with the monster, she was seriously injured. He could withstand the curse of the demon king with his power, but due to the serious injury, his resistance was minimized, so he was infected by the curse and became what he is now.

As for the current change, Zhu Lin also heard a little. Digarex's curse can greatly strengthen the power of that individual by gathering the power of the plural infected person onto an individual. The official scientific name of this curse is "Crazy Dragon Disease", and the change in front of him is called-

——"The mad dragon turns into a flash!"

No matter what, Catherine's teacher cannot be allowed to complete the transformation of a crazy dragon, otherwise things will be very important!

Zhu Lin thought about this and immediately wanted to stop it, but before the bursting fireball was even too late to meet the old man, he was swallowed by the black fog gathered around him and dissolved. At this moment, the black vortex in the sky exploded, and the black fog that covered the sky rushed towards the elderly man in one breath, swallowing his body in an instant.

“…Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As the black fog rolled, the old man's painful moans kept coming, but with this series of painful cry, some strange changes began to happen.

The old man's hunched body gradually became straight, his gray hair began to turn black, and his wrinkles began to gradually tighten. Before Zhu Lin could see all these changes more realistically, the aggregated black mist burst out in one breath. Zhu Lin, who found that the situation was wrong, could only grab Catherine beside him and quickly retreated for a long distance with her.

Just as the two of them were standing still, the rolling black mist suddenly gathered towards the center, and in just a few breaths, they were completely absorbed and swallowed by a figure in the center of the black gas.

That person should be Catherine's teacher, but the original face of an old man who was about to die has now become a tall man who looks no more than 30 years old. With Pairou's appearance, it can only be seen from the slight lines between his eyebrows and eyes that this man is the old man just now.

Zhu Lin was secretly shocked when he saw this scene of rejuvenation. He really didn't expect that the devil's curse would have such a usefulness. Obviously, even the young man who used the power of the curse to recover was overjoyed at this moment.

"It's successful. Lord Demon King's power is indeed powerful. Youth and a long-lost young body. This feels... great!"

The man seemed to have fallen into a state of extreme madness, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and his mouth kept repeating keywords such as "young" and "youth". It was not until Catherine came back to her senses and called out his name again that he stopped the crazy movement.

"What the hell is going on? Teacher, what are you doing?"

The questions taken for granted were answered more naturally.

"What are you doing? Can you understand this kind of thing by reading it? Spread the curse of the Demon King, and then absorb strength from the unlucky person infected with the curse to help me restore my youth. How about it? There is no need to study the spells hard or get up early and go to bed late to meditation. It only takes a little trick to gain such amazing power. This is really cost-effective, right? Catherine, you are my most proud disciple, and the teacher is willing to share this power with you!"

Hearing this sentence, the girl trembled all over and she had already understood the meaning of the other party's words just now.

"Sorry, I have no interest in this method of gaining power by harming innocent people, and I don't want to be a demon like me!"

Word by word, he expressed his determination, but he didn't want to finish listening to Catherine's words, and the man showed a contemptuous smile on the spot.

"As a matter of the same answer as I thought, then there is no way. You saw my secret. If you let you reveal it, it would be troublesome to recruit people from the Mage Association. So today... you two must stay here!"

After saying this, the magic power around the man instantly began to become active, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
