It was pretty abrupt, making the bystander stunned. The middle aged woman and her daughter came out of a posh shop. However, blood trickled down from her nose as she fainted on the ground.
” Mom! Are you alright?” The daughter shrieked as she held the middle aged woman.
” Gho-Ghost! Ghost!”
The middle aged woman’s body shivered violently, as if having a seizure. She pointed her finger at a blank space as she kept mumbling incoherent words as if she was getting more and more scared of something.
” M-Mom! There is nothing! There is nothing there!” The daughter couldn’t help but panic. ” What are you seeing!”
” They will kill me! They will kill you!”
The middle aged lady’s fingertip slowly turned dark as the dark pallor slowly spread from her finger to to her body.
Barry’s eyes narrowed as an unknown memory flashed in his mind.
‘ Dark curse of witches…It’s one of the curses made by black magic. I have some recollections about this.’
‘ That bracelet! It’s the medium of the curse! As long as it gets purified, the curse will be broken.’
Barry looked at the hand of the middle aged lady, which adorned a pearl bracelet. Although it looked beautiful to outsiders, Barry could see a faint dark miasma around it.
‘ Thankfully, the curse is weaker. If I use my aura to the full force, I will be able to save that lady!’
Thinking that, Barry pushed the crowd and charged forward. ” Move! Let me see!”
” Miss, Please get up! We need to take the lady to the hospital!”
” What? Why?” The lady’s eyes snapped open as she looked around. ” I…I am fine! Huh? Why am I sitting on the ground?”
The driver and the girl looked at each other with a concerned gaze.
” If you take her to the hospital, she still won’t be able to get cured.”
The girl and the driver looked at Barry who stood in front of the crowd.
” Who are you?” The driver became slightly alarmed as he looked at Barry. ” Don’t mess with the situation.”
” It’s not a disease.” Barry hurriedly said. ” Hallucination, nightmares, unfortunate things…Does it ring any bell?”
” You! Don’t…”
” No, Don’t shoo him.”
Before the driver could push away Barry, the girl stood up and walked towards him.
” Who are you? What do you know about it?” The girl’s tone was rather calm. However, there was still a hint of urgency beneath her voice.
” Although she looks fine, you can look at her palm and wrist. It’s started to turn black.” Barry pointed at the lady as she spoke. The girl looked at her mother’s hand as her expression turned ugly.
” Do you know the reason?” The girl looked at Barry. ” If you tell me the truth, I will give you as much money as you want.”
” Well, Lucky you. I know the reason.” Barry smirked as he looked at the girl.
” Your mother, She is suffering…”
” Lady, Are you alright?”
Barry paused as he looked behind the girl with a stunned gaze. The girl also turned around and saw a young man holding her mother.
” Wh-Who are you? Let go of lady!”
” No, It’s alright!” The middle aged lady hurriedly spoke. ” My body swayed and I almost fell to the ground. Luckily, this young man helped me.”
The young man looked at the lady. ” Aunt, You have suffered a lot. Hmm, This pearl bracelet looks odd. Can you show it to me?”
” Wait, That bracelet…”
Barry felt an ominous sense as he tried to hurry up and stop the young man.
However, the young man simply held the pearl necklace before it broke, scattering it on the ground.
” Wh-What’s that?”
” Isn’t that a pearl bracelet?”
The girl heard the exclamations of the crowd as she looked at the ground. To her horror, the pearls that fell on the ground turned pitch black, like withered seeds.
” Miss, Are you feeling ok now?” The young man smiled at the middle aged lady.
” I… I feel fine?” The lady paused for a moment before looking at her palm. ” I feel… so refreshed! It feels like a huge burden taken off from my shoulders.”
The lady turned around to thank the young man. ” Thank you, Young…Young man?”
” Mom? What happened to you?” The girl rushed to the lady. ” Where is that boy?”
” I don’t know. He just vanished!”
” Miss, we should return to the house. It’s getting too much crowdy here.”
The girl nodded as she took her mother into the black Benz. She didn’t even look at Barry.
” Uh, See you…” Barry tried to wave his hands, but the girl already sat in the car.
Soon, the car went off, leaving the murmuring crowd behind.
Barry’s face was livid as he looked at the scene like a gawking bird.
‘ Damn it! She was a cash cow! Only if that bastard had not interfered, I would have helped her and gotten some money at least!’
‘ Fuck! I am so annoyed!’
Meanwhile, Maria looked at Jun Tianyun who returned. ” You…What was that? What happened to that lady?”
” She was afflicted by a curse.” Jun Tianyun was amused. ” That curse deteriorated her health and slowly eroded her soul.”
” If not purified, she would have died tonight.”
” You are an exorcist?” Maria was surprised as she looked at Jun Tianyun.
” Not really. It’s simply understanding the essence of energy and the magic diagram of the curse.” Jun Tianyun spoke. ” The moment you understand it, breaking it would be very easy.”
Maria was stunned as she looked at Jun Tianyun with wide eyes. Jun Tianyun noticed her gaze and couldn’t help but scratch his head.

” Damn, you are probably thinking I am bragging, right?” he was amused. ” Haha, This really sounds boastful, isn’t it?”
Maria pursed her lips, but she didn’t say anything. ” Anyway, Where should we go now?”
” You can decide that now. My work is done.” Jun Tianyun leaned back on the seat.

‘ Hmm, Judging from that bastard, he won’t give up.’ Jun Tianyun thought for a moment. ‘ But guess what, It’s fine for me.’
Maria drove the car as she saw Jun Tianyun was in deep thought. Looking at the blurring city lights, Jun Tianyun turned to Maria.
” Well, I want to understand the situation of the Federal States Nation.” Jun Tianyun spoke.
” What’s the situation of special powers here?”
” Special powers, you say?” Maria hummed as she nodded. ” Certainly it’s different from the Eastern world and Xia Nation.”
” There are various types of people here. But if we generalize, there are three types of them.”
” Magic user, Mutants and Metahumans.”
” Magic users are born with powerful soul energy and a special bloodline since birth. Not to mention, with various magic techniques inheritance, and resources, they could tap into the power of nature.”
” Magicians are graded into circles. The first circle is the weakest while the highest circle is the tenth circle.”
” However, for now, the highest magician is probably a seventh circle mage. Only a few reached the height of the seventh circle in the past hundred years.”
” Next comes mutants, who are born with special abilities. Unlike magicians, they can use their abilities without much hassle. However, their power is simply limited to their mutant abilities.”
” Not only they could not learn martial arts of Eastern World, a very few of them could comprehend magic.”
” They don’t use mana as their fuel. However, the output depends on their rank, which is graded from E rank to S rank.”
” For example, A man with fire ability of E rank can only make a candle flame on his finger for a few seconds.”
” However, An A rank mutant ability can create giant fireballs. But then, pure elemental mutant abilities are rare.”
” For example, Fire Manipulation ability is different from than Fire Fist Ability. The first ability is versatile, while the second ability…Like its name, you can only use your fist covered with flames.”
Jun Tianyun nodded as he kept it as mental notes.
” Then what about the knights? They exist, right?”
Maria nodded, ” They and other creatures belong to the third category, called Metahumans.”
” They are the species who can grow, grow enough to transcend human limits and tap onto supernatural force.”
” The only limit they have is time and resources. Metahuman are easier to make, but they take quite a lot of resources and time to grow to the next stage.
” Without that, metahumans would completely dominate the magic users and mutants.”
” Knights Templar is one of the leading forces among metahumans. The knights can tap into the supernatural power of the human body and bring it out.” Maria chuckled.
” A knight and a martial artist are pretty similar. But they are still different in some regards.”
” So, Sister Maria is both a wind attribute mutant with wind magic ability?” Jun Tianyun was amused.
” Actually, I had the B grade Whirlwind Ability.” Maria sighed. ” However, Thanks to Miss Jane’s help, I managed to comprehend my power and learned mana to control my power.”
When Jun Tianyun and Maria returned, Jun Ronghua already arrived.
” Xiao Jun, You came back.” Jun Ronghua immediately threw a tantrum. ” I missed you so much.”
However, Jun Tianyun’s smile faltered as he looked at Jun Ronghua.
