The Strongest Curse Master - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Looting Chapter 171: Looting [Emi, store all the weapons and the ammo you can find in your storage talisman.

Make sure to check if those weapons are marked with curse energy or something] Ace ordered Emi, summoning her and then instructed Dame Wasp, [Rose, you go high and scan just our surroundings and nothing more.

Check if someone is heading our way.

Watch out for the array barrier or powerful curse masters.]  [Copy that!] Both Emi and Dame Wasp immediately sprung into action to execute their orders knowing that the situation was dire and they had no time to waste.  [Master, some of these mortals are gravely injured.

If left like this they will bleed to death.

Do you want me to heal them?] Emi reported to her master through the status screen as she collect the weapons and ammos from the unconscious mortals.  [Yes.

And also, if it isn’t much trouble, arrange them safely.] The answer was obvious, he could not knowingly let these mortal bleed to death.

His concious would not allow it.

What bothered Ace the most was how come the the family and friends of these people haven’t reported them missing?

He had heard the first curse slave he killed say they were doing this for two days.

That was to say, it has been more than forty eight hours surely someone out in the town should be looking for them right?

Unless, the town to was also under the influence of a similar traceless curse array formation.  ‘What the fuck is going on here?’ Ace pondered, trying to figure out how a simple curse exorcism request turn into a scene straight out of a horror triller anime.

He did not understand how a C.I.B.

approved curse exorcism request could go so horribly wrong.  He had prepared himself for a C.I.B.

sting operation or a misinformation on the curseling they were supposed to exorcise but this, a hugh traceless array and ambush from unknown curse terrorists hunting curse users coming to complete the curse exorcism request for thier curse tools and curse core, this not one of the scenarios he excepted when he left his town this morning.

[Master, our surroundings is clear.

Though I did sense various curse energy from around.

I think that there are many more curse users in the array than we would like to.] Dame Wasp reported grimly before returning to her masters side.

She did not dare to stay in the open sky for too long for the fear of being noticed by a powerful curse master.  [Rose, go and check on the cab.

See if its rigged.

I planned to use it to try and get out of the array fromation.] Ace intrusted Dame Wasp, though he wasn’t sure if it would work, he had to give it a try because he had no idea what these curse terrorist were planning.  [Roger that!] With that Dame Wasp rush to the cab and began to check it with her cybernatic sensors trying to find anything odd about the cab that she could have missed when her master first entered it.

However, no matter how many times she checked she found no trace of curse energy on any parts of the car.

With this her expression grew grim because it meant her masters assumption that he should be able to get out of the array formation using the car was wrong.  [Master, all done.

We can leave now.] Emi reported after she stored all the weapons she coud find in a storage talisman and arranging the unconscious mortals safely.  Emi and Ace soon arrived next to the car skillfully avoiding the landmines.

Since, they were hiding their presence with talisman Dame Wasp who was checking the cab repeatedly in her stealth mode never noticed them until, the status screen reminded her, [Rose, anything wrong with the car?]  [No, master.

Its too clean.

I fear you might not be able to use it to leave the array formation.

I am sorry master I couldn’t be of more help.] Dame Wasp was blaming herself for everything wrong when none of it was her fault.

In her guilt, she was trying her hardest but was only running into a dead end.

Therefore, she grew desperate because of her innate fear of failing her master.  Ace immediately realized Dame Wasp was going through stuff but right now he did not have time to deal with her feelings, once they were out of this mess.

He would have all the time in world to tell her that she did nothing wrong and console her feelings.

But first he had to make it out of here alive.  [We won’t know for sure until we try,] Ace said opening the driver door and throwing the unconscious cab driver in back and getting into the divers seat while Emi got into the passengers seat.

Then turning on the cab, switching the gear, he stepped on the gas.

He drove the cab slowly as he did not want to be crash into the array border if Dame Wasp was right.  Soon as he drove down the road they suddenly felt the curse energy filling the car.

Ace drove the car even slower and as he expected just as the car was halfway through the array he felt a resistance against his kneecaps and toes, like they were pressed against a wall.

Understanding, the car could leave the array but he couldn’t Ace put the car in reverse gear and drove it back before halting it.

Getting out of the car he opened the back door and carrying the driver out he layed him on the ground and pushed him sending him rolling.

The driver managed to cross the part of the road that he could not.  Seeing this Emi immediately reported, [Master, it appears, only things without curse energy can enter and exit the array freely.

As for those with curse energy they can only enter the array but not exit it.

Master, recall us back to the toybox and try using the curse concealment art to pass through it.

We can only hope it works.]  [Master, hurry!

I am sensing multiple strong curse energy heading our way.] Dame Wasp alerted the two in panic.
