Curse Space.

Danze Oliver, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, had a relaxed smile on his face.

Having spent such a great cost and hired so many experts, he naturally had high hopes for the “Curse Hair of the Mourning Witch”.

Not to mention the experts from the Oliver family, the Crow Gang, which was sponsored by their family, had also managed to invite a powerful member of the Steam Party, “Mechanical Tyrannosaurus” Toynbee.

Of course, all of this was thanks to the beautiful and elegant woman by his side.

Danze looked at the graceful and stunning beauty beside him, feeling great and said with a smile, “Hahaha… If this matter succeeds, I must thank Lady Sabina for her help.”

After all, this was a ruin deep underground, not in the city of Old Lingdun.

For his Oliver family to gather so many slave hunters in the camp in such a short time, the three major gangs were of no use. After all, the slave hunters were all from outside the city.

Unexpectedly, when he casually asked, this beautiful woman from the Steam Party readily agreed to help.

Upon hearing this, Sabina smiled and said coquettishly, “Young Master Danze, you flatter me. It was just a small favor.”

“I must express my gratitude.”

Danze smiled and glanced at the towering presence on her chest that was impossible to ignore.

As the legitimate young master of the Oliver family, what kind of beauties had he not seen?

But it was this gang leader’s wife who stirred up his long-lost desire. He knew that he couldn’t touch a woman supported by a rival family, but it only aroused his possessiveness.

Seemingly within reach, yet elusive, and with a hint of dangerous conspiracy…

Danze knew it well, but he enjoyed this feeling.

Conquering a woman like her would bring him a greater sense of accomplishment.

A cunning glint flashed in Sabina’s eyes, seemingly unconcerned about revealing her alluring figure in front of others. She lightly opened her red lips and said, “Young Master Danze, with the Mourning Witch’s hair, you should be able to advance to the second stage, right?”

“Yes. The materials for advancement and the blueprint for the prosthetic have long been prepared.”

Danze nodded confidently, “Originally, I was just following the family’s caravan to explore the ruins and strengthen my physical endurance in the dense dark spiritual environment. I didn’t expect to come across one of the rare silk threads that is most suitable for a puppeteer, the ‘Mourning Witch’s Hair’. It’s a pleasant surprise…”

He didn’t hide his joy in his tone. He even imagined himself with the “Infinite Hair” prosthetic, which would surely attract everyone’s attention in the field of puppetry in Old Lingdun.

With that, Danze didn’t forget to say politely, “Thank you again for your assistance, Lady Sabina.”

Sabina’s lips curled into a seductive smile, “Then I congratulate you in advance.”

“When I successfully advance, the Oliver family will hold a celebration banquet. Lady Sabina, please grace us with your presence…”

Danze had already started inviting guests to the celebration banquet.

But unexpectedly, something extremely sudden happened.

Before he could finish his words, a hexagram magic portal suddenly appeared on the sealing barrier in front of him.

“Could it be that the witch has been killed?”

Danze looked at the magic portal and was about to be delighted, but the next moment, his expression froze.

Because he saw several figures escaping in a sorry state.

…….

Due to the sudden rampage of the Mourning Witch, the four surviving second-stage individuals had varying degrees of injuries.

Seeing the ugly dwarf with a leg injury, Danze’s face changed drastically, and he quickly went up to ask, “Teacher! How did you get injured like this?”

He had never seen anyone force his teacher into such a sorry state. After all, that alchemical puppet was an ancient relic that the family had paid a great price to obtain. Who could force him to abandon the puppet and escape?

Could it be that something unexpected happened during the ambush?

How is that possible…

They were all familiar with the witch’s attack methods. How could there be any surprises?

The same question appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Upon hearing the inquiry, “Magician” Lloyd became furious and angrily questioned, “Damn it! How did that wanted criminal appear in the Curse Space with the witch? Didn’t you notice when you brought people in?!”

It was the first time he had revealed his dwarf identity to outsiders, and he felt the strange gazes around him, which further fueled his anger.

“Ah…?”

Danze was completely confused by this nonsensical question and asked in confusion, “Teacher, what wanted criminal are you talking about?”

Lloyd was furious, “Hmph, we were just one step away from killing that second-stage witch, but we were ambushed!”

Upon hearing this, Danze was shocked and angry, “Teacher, you were ambushed?!”

Lloyd was so angry that his teeth itched, “Someone brought that ‘S wanted criminal, Su’en, into the Curse Space. And then that guy used the ‘Night Black Scythe of Supnos’ to kill Bloom and Piccol, ultimately ruining our plan to kill the witch. Even I almost died in there!”

Was there really a problem with the ambush?

Danze’s eyes trembled, his face full of disbelief, “How is that possible… They were just ordinary slaves.”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood.

Several streets near the monastery had already been sealed off, and the people who could enter must have been the slave group they sent in.

Since they recognized the ‘Night Black Scythe of Supnos’, these people immediately guessed that it was Su’en, who had been causing a stir in Old Lingdun recently.

But… how could a wanted criminal like that be brought into the space?Just as everyone was puzzled about how the attacker managed to infiltrate the cursed space, a captain from the Blade Squad suddenly remembered something.

He spoke up, “Well, if it’s the person wearing the parrot mask… I have some impression, there was such a guy in the ‘Drunken Squad’ before.”

Danze Junior frowned upon hearing this, “Drunken Squad?”

The captain continued, “A small group of unaffiliated individuals, all of whom have been sent into the cursed space. However, they disappeared suddenly before you arrived, Young Master Danze.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“We thought they were sucked into the witch’s cursed space and had already died…”

“Drag him away, execute him!”

“No, Young Master Danze…”

“…”

Although the captain’s words clarified the situation for everyone, he not only didn’t receive any reward, but was directly executed by the furious Danze Junior.

Such a big incident had occurred, if their leader hadn’t already died in the space, even a second-order master would have been executed on the spot!

You were supposed to bring a slave squad to scout for mines, but you brought an S-class wanted criminal with ulterior motives?

And you almost wiped out the hunting team!

…….

The person was killed, and some of the anger was vented.

However, at this point, it was meaningless to think about the question of “why he appeared in the space”.

And it seems that the losses are not too great.

Only two professionals and a group of slaves died, the witch’s space is still here, the main force is still here, for the Oliver family, it’s not a big problem.

Danze asked, “Teacher, what should we do now?”

“We can’t enter the witch’s space for now, without a field control mage, the casualties would be great if we rush in. If we want to get the hair, we’ll have to wait for the family to send another group of masters.”

Lloyd also sighed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, “What we need to worry about now… is the wanted criminal’s next move.”

Hearing his teacher say this, Danze was somewhat puzzled, “Teacher, the wanted criminal hasn’t come out yet, he must have died in the cursed space. After all, it’s very difficult to kill a second-stage witch with physical damage alone, even with that forbidden scythe, how many times can he swing it?”

“We can’t be careless.”

Lloyd shook his head, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and said, “There was information before that the guy had mastered a way to possibly avoid the backlash of the scythe’s curse, it seems to be true now… otherwise, he would have died when he killed three high-ranking members of the Umbrella Organization outside Old Lingdun.”

After a pause, he continued to analyze, “Since Su’en was able to wake up in the witch’s dream-making ability, he must have come prepared. And if he dared to take action, he must have been sure of his survival.”

Hearing this, Danze also frowned.

Lloyd: “And when that guy attacked before, I clearly caught that he was controlling the puppet’s movements. I guess he used the ‘Shroud of Oz’s Ice Man’ to make an invisible puppet.”

Hearing this, Danze frowned in confusion, immediately said, “Invisible puppet? But teacher, I have seen the scythe forbidden object with my own eyes, even if a puppet uses it, the curse backlash will definitely trace back to the source…”

Lloyd was also puzzled, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s some kind of special living puppet. That guy’s puppet control technique is not bad, he should be a rare puppet profession, and he might even have some ancient special puppet refining methods…”

Danze’s face darkened.

If he could really avoid the curse backlash, how terrifying would that forbidden scythe be?

And the fact is, Su’en has already killed at least four second-order professionals with this scythe.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill down their necks.

At this time, Lloyd seemed to think of something, and said in a serious tone, a sentence that made Danze Junior’s back chill, “Maybe that Su’en is targeting you, Young Master Danze… This point, we must be careful.”

Danze was startled and puzzled, “I have no grudge with that wanted criminal, why would he target me?”

A shadow passed through Lloyd’s eyes, “No… we’ve met before.”

Danze was puzzled, “Huh?”

Lloyd continued, “Remember in the market before, someone bought those witch mages before you? Just now, that Su’en controlled the zombies without leaving any traces, obviously using a kind of transparent thread. Apart from this, I can’t think of any other thread that could meet this situation!”

Danze exclaimed, “It’s that guy?! Damn it, if I had known, I would have killed him at the camp!”

He had previously sent bodyguards to follow, wanting to retrieve the hair. Was it this action that provoked the other party?

“Don’t be careless, get ready, that guy might have other ways to escape from the cursed space.”

Before Lloyd’s words fell, suddenly someone shouted, “No good, the witch’s cursed space is collapsing!”

At the same time, an eight-legged shadow shot out quickly.

“It’s him!”

Lloyd’s pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted, “Kill that guy!”
