Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 354

Larry's POV: 

Even as the moon hung in the sky, I kept tossing and turning in bed.I just couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about how I had failed in my attempt to use the Avatar Curse made me feel utterly depressed.

What was happening to me? I was Larry, the grand wizard the most powerful wizard of them all! Damn it! I couldn't accept this failure.

So I got out of bed and reached for my wand.I went outside and pointed my wand at the starry night sky.

"Avatar Curse!" I shouted with determination.

"Avatar Curse! Avatar curse!!" I tried countless times but it was futile.

Every time I felt the energy gathering into my wand, my body would go limp, as though all of my strength was being drained.

It seemed to me that my energy always ran out at the most critical of moments.

"Ah!"

I was so angry that I threw my wand to the ground and started pulling my hair in frustration.

What the hell was happening? I used to be so powerful, so much so that I had become extremely proud and cocky.I simply couldn't accept that I was getting weaker and weaker.

But no matter what I did, I couldn't change the reality of the situation.

Dejected, I bent over, picked up my wand, and retreated to my room to check my physical condition again.I was shocked to find that I was even weaker than I was in the daytime.

Was it because I injured myself? Through gritted teeth, I tried to heal myself with the magic wand.

When I was finally successful, I punched the pillow in a fit of rage.

The weakening of my power was just too sudden.

Could I have been cursed? What had Amelia done to me? Clenching my fists, I began to carefully recall what Amelia and I had been doing these days.

Although she hadn't explicitly used any spell in front of me, we did share a few meals.

Perhaps she had tampered with the food.

My eyes narrowed unhappily.

What I fool I've been! I pressed my fingers against my temples, regretting § how love had blinded me, causing me to fall for Amelia's trap.

"But I still need to prove that this is Amelia's doing..." I murmured to myself.

Maybe I misunderstood her and my weakening had nothing to do with her.I still found myself reluctant to blame her.So I decided to investigate first.I needed to study the magic books tomorrow to see if I could find any clues.

Just as I slipped back into bed, I heard my phone beep.

Upon checking, I found that it was a message from Amelia.

"Honey, I've been thinking and I've decided I'm willing to go with you.Can we meet at the garden of the imperial palace tomorrow at noon?"

When I read the message, I nearly jumped for joy.

"She finally agreed!"

Amelia! My dear Amelia! We were finally going home! God! I was so happy that I nearly shed tears.

But the excitement made me cough so violently that I could barely breathe.I suddenly froze.

For a second, I had almost forgotten just how weak I had become.

The joy only lasted a few seconds.I gradually calmed down and stared at Amelia's message pensively.

Something was off.

If she really wanted to come with me, why did she ask to meet me in were wolve's territory? It was obviously a dangerous place for me, and she knew this.Yet she asked me to meet her there.

It was obviously a trap.

I got it! Amelia was setting a trap for me.

She was simply waiting for me to throw myself into the snare.I gnashed my teeth.I was furious.

Regardless of my injuries, I struggled to stand up.
