‘This is a human!’
She looked at Alex in surprise and her emotions became slightly stirred- Pointing at Alex, she asked, “You… You’re a human?!”
“What?”
“A human? Really?”
“We haven’t had any humans here for a long time!”
The shocked onlookers gathered around him, and all started talking once.
At that moment, Alex suddenly said to Shado, “Shado, do you wish to save your grandma?”
Shado was taken aback. “You… You can save my grandma? Grandma’s curse has begun to manifest, and she will be completely petrified in about ten minutes. This is the eternal curse of our tribe. Nobody can dispel it.”
Alex smiled. “I think I can give it a try.”
He was not boasting.
Rather, he just sensed that the source of the curse manifestation lay in the evil Chi. It was because the condensed evil Chi in the body was so dense that it had reached its absolute concentration. Once it reached the Naga tribe’s body limit, one would be unable to suppress the attack.
When the attack began, it would cause petrification through evil Chi. In this case, what triggered the attack was some sort of ancient rune.
What Alex hoped most eagerly now was to help the Naga tribe drain the evil Chi from their bodies so it could help him increase divine power. Presently, Shado’s grandmother was definitely the best candidate.
“You… You can dispel our Naga tribe’s curse?”
The one who spoke was the village’s high priestess, a female Naga with red wavy hair. She did not look old at all and had a considerably outstanding appearance among humans.
“What Lord Saint? I’m not your Lord Saint!”
Shado, also full of surprise, asked, “High Priestess, what’s going on? How did he become Lord Saint?”
The high priestess immediately said to Shado, “Shado, don’t be rude in front of Lord Saint!”
Shado looked toward her grandmother. It turned out that her grandmother said the same thing as well.
“The great ancient astrologist of the Naga tribe once told of our tribe’s fortune at the expense of his life,” said the high priestess. “He finally left a prophecy, the one that dispels the curse of our Naga tribe would be our tribe’s Lord Saint.”
Alex was speechless.
After taking a look at Shado’s grandmother, Alex said, “Maybe I can still save her now, but after a while, even God won’t be able to save her. So, if you people want me to save her, all of you, please wait outside.”
