The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 404

Draven's senses were sealed, but given his powers, he was able to regain his sense of sight and hearing back, but he could not feel his limbs. That was the effect of the hostile divine power from the stabbed dagger rampaging inside his body, devouring his own magic. It was pure willpower that allowed him to leave the ice chamber.

The man managed to drag himself towards the barrier, despite him taking some time.

Since he could enter it, he thought he could freely get past it this time as well, but the moment he touched the barrier, his hand was pushed back.

Draven had guessed it, but confirming it still made him grit his teeth in frustration.

Thala had made sure he would not leave this cave at any cost.

Draven heard Aureus' guilt-ridden voice, "My apologies. It's because of my blood. I…I should not have listened to my uncle and should not have given my blood. I didn't think he was really going to harm you, King Draven."

Draven was in a situation he could not even afford to glare at him. The King of Agartha leaned against the barrier, using it as a support for him to sit up.

Only then did they see the injury on his chest. A handle of a bladed weapon was stuck over his heart.

"Sire—"

"You…you should not have listened to him," Draven growled at Aureus, his pale face showing anger. "You don't know… what you have done."

Aureus felt worse. "What do we do now? Should we ask the council to capture my uncle?"

Draven struggled to stand up, and soon, he succeeded, but one could see that he was teetering so much, he could fall on his knees any moment now.

"Save…We have to save him…"

It shocked Aureus. "Save who? My uncle?"

But this time, Draven did not answer him.

With a ferocious expression, he grabbed the handle of that divine weapon and pulled it out from his body, causing his bleeding to worsen. His injury was severe, but it was not deadly. It was the kind of injury that would take at most several days to heal with the help of potions.

However, that was not the most important thing.

With the divine weapon gone from his body, Draven's powers were returning!

"Step back," Erlos said as he pulled Aureus away from the barrier. His master was extremely powerful—even the strongest barriers could not trap him for long.

He knew Draven would break the barrier, and thinking about the high level of this runic formation, the remnant force after destroying it would be extremely dangerous for them.

pαпdα Й?νê|,сòМ "The King said my uncle needs saving?" Aureus mumbled in disbelief. "Did I hear him wrong?"

"Though I don't know what happened, I think you are misunderstanding something," Erlos said. "You thought the Commander wanted to kill Sire?"

"I heard things…"

"He is annoying, but unfortunately, that bird is indeed Sire's friend. Did you really think that your uncle is that kind of person? A lowly scum who would harm his own dear friend? They just have conflicts, but even though these two always fight, they do not truly hate each other. They just can't be honest to themselves."

However, Aureus could not register a single word Erlos said as Draven began to manifest his powers.

Though Draven was yet to regain his peak strength, the level of magic he was emitting was stronger than both Erlos' and Aureus' powers combined. They felt strong vibrations on the ground, causing them to take a couple more steps away from the barrier.
