"Soul Fire!" Shi Feng's expression immediately tensed when he saw the burning flame .
This was not his first time to encounter this flame .
Soul Fire was a flame capable of causing great damage to players, inflicting extremely severe death penalties—even more severe than having their Immortal Soul absorbed .
To put it simply, Soul Fire was a flame that players should avoid coming into contact with at all costs .
As the crystal ball disintegrated into nothingness, the silver flames immediately transformed into a leopard over two meters tall . Burning silver flames covered the leopard's entire body, and wherever its four paws stepped, the stone floor underfoot became molten magma . Anyone seeing this scene would feel their hearts shudder and would try to get as far as possible from the silver leopard .
However, Shi Feng could not run away even if he wanted to .
The oppression of the fourfold magic array aside, the leopard itself was an extraordinary Level 200 Mythic monster—the equivalent of a Level 200 Tier 4 NPC . Such a monster could instantly kill any current player .
Even if Shi Feng were at his peak during his previous life, the only thing he could have done if he encountered such a monster was run away as fast as he could .
Fortunately, this leopard formed from Soul Fire did not seem interested in Shi Feng . Instead, its pitch-black eyes stared at Sharlyn, who was lounging on a reading chair . In the next moment, the leopard transformed into a streak of silver light as it pounced at Sharlyn .
The leopard was so fast that Shi Feng did not even manage to react before it appeared in front of her .
"What a feisty little cat you are! I was just looking into your owner's movements, yet you actually came all this way to pick a fight," Sharlyn said, eyeing the silver leopard pouncing at her as if she was just looking at a cute little animal . Suddenly, her left arm turned into a blur as she grabbed the silver leopard by the scruff of its neck .
In the next moment, something unbelievable happened .
The silver leopard, which was originally over two meters tall, actually began shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye, until it was no larger than a little kitten . No matter how hard it fought, it couldn't escape Sharlyn's grasp . The only thing it could do was bare its tiny fangs and swipe its puny paws at her while emitting threatening hisses .
Following which, Sharlyn took out a crimson crystal ball and did a short chant . The silver leopard then transformed into a streak of light and entered the crystal ball . Trapped inside the crystal ball, the silver leopard still tried struggling, but its efforts were all for naught . It couldn't escape the bindings of the crimson ball .
Shi Feng was incomparably stunned as he witnessed this scene from a distance .
Sharlyn had actually just played around with a Level 200 Mythic monster as if it were a toy . Rather than a Tier 5 Red Priest, she seemed more on the level of a Tier 6 God .
"So you've come . " After Sharlyn was done dealing with the silver leopard, her golden eyes slowly shifted towards Shi Feng . Smiling faintly, she said, "After not meeting you for some time, I see that you've landed yourself in yet more trouble . Before you have even dealt with the matter of the Lord of Balrogs, you have earned yourself yet another curse . I really don't know whether you've been blessed by the Goddess of Fate, or fancied by the Goddess of Misfortune . "
"Cursed?" Shi Feng frowned . He then gave himself a thorough look as well as checked his status window . However, he did not discover any abnormalities with himself .
"Don't bother . Ordinary mortals won't be able to detect it . " Sharlyn shook her head lightly . She then walked up to Shi Feng . Stretching one of her flawless fingers towards him, she began drawing one line of divine runes after another .
Like golden ribbons, the glorious, golden divine runes wrapped around Shi Feng . As the number of divine runes increased, the Mana fluctuations surrounding him began weakening . After a short moment, his surroundings were devoid of Mana .
This form of Mana nullification was different from the Silencing Skills used by players, which only froze the flow of Mana . What Sharlyn used thoroughly erased the existence of Mana .
With the absence of Mana in his surroundings, Shi Feng felt as if his brain was suffering from oxygen deficiency . Momentarily, his vision blurred a bit . His mind grew somewhat dizzy as well, his control over his body dulling slightly .
But in the next moment, a silver chain with the thickness of a finger appeared, extending from Shi Feng's chest . When this chain went beyond the Mana nullification field, it quickly became invisible once again as if it had never existed .
"What's this?" Shi Feng could not help his surprise .
This was his first time seeing such a situation . Moreover, with the appearance of this chain, he could clearly feel himself continuously weakening .
"This is your curse . This silver chain is a Soul Chain, and it is bound to your soul . You can consider this a parting gift that mysterious youth left for you when he escaped," Sharlyn said, her cherry-red lips hooking up into a smile . Chuckling softly, she continued, "How about it? Are you feeling a little anxious now?"
Shi Feng could not help but roll his eyes at Sharlyn . Even if he were stupid, he could tell that this curse was no trifling matter . A single mistake could very well send him to the Netherworld . Problems related to the soul were the most frightening thing to players . After all, failure to deal with such problems would not end with just suffering a simple death . It was very likely that his entire account would be crippled . How could he not feel anxious?
"Can this curse be removed?" Shi Feng asked .
In response, however, Sharlyn spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness .
"Even you can't remove it?" Shi Feng was far more shocked now .
Sharlyn was definitely one of the strongest NPCs he had ever encountered in his entire gaming career in God's Domain . If even such an NPC was incapable of helping him, one could just imagine what a stinking pile of trouble he had landed himself in this time .
"This thing here is a Soul Chain . It is a Super Spell that has been passed down since ancient times . I am not a God, so how can I possibly remove it?" Sharlyn rolled her eyes at Shi Feng . Snappily, she continued, "However, you don't have to fall into despair, either . There are two methods to remove this curse of yours . The first method is to remove the curse using force, while the second method is to kill the person who placed this curse on you . Since you can't remove the curse, the only option left for you is to kill the person who had cursed you in the first place . "
Shi Feng was immediately rendered speechless .
He wanted to, but did he have this kind of ability?
Not to mention himself during his peak, even a Tier 5 apex expert would have a small chance of defeating that mysterious youth . Most likely, only Tier 6 God-ranked players would be capable of dealing with him .
However, God's Domain was currently in its infant stages . There was not a single Tier 2 player in existence yet . So, just where was he supposed to find Tier 6 players?
"Relax, I'm not telling you to kill that youth yourself . With this weak, little body of yours, a sneeze from that person would blow you into smithereens . All you need to do is find his whereabouts . " Sharlyn could not help but giggle as she eyed Shi Feng's slightly ugly complexion . "Although I've used a Tracking Spell, that person is extremely adept at hiding his trail . Even I can't locate him . However, you are different . The other end of the Soul Chain wrapped around your body is in his hands . As long as you follow the Soul Chain, you will be able to locate him easily . At that time, all you need to do is contact me . "
System: Legendary Quest "Lost Magic" accepted . Quest content: Locate the youth who has cursed you . Rewards unknown .
"But how will I find him? If I'm not inside this magic nullification field, I won't be able to see the chain at all . " Shi Feng was inwardly at a loss for words after hearing the very simplified system notification .
