Supreme Human System

Chapter 45: Unknown Curse

The border of the outer and middle region has been divided by a long river, at this particular place where Kritos stood with his bow. There was a vast lake and a field without any trees. .

Kritos slowly moved towards the edge of the mountain. 

Kritos takes a peek at the depth from the edge, where he continuously heard voices.

Of a sudden, with his passive ability<Eagle eye>, his eye only focuses on the crispy smile of the demonic frog. 

"F-Fuck!"

Kritos legs hastily moved backward; a fear could be seen in his eyes.

He didn't know what to do, only fear imprisoned in his mind. Kritos ability to think has been shut, only one thought remains, 'Run as fast he can.'

However, his only option is constantly trembling due to the fear.

Hardly Kritos leg stepped backward, he found an obstacle which is further stopping his movement. With a sense of fear, Kritos slowly glance at his back.

"Hey boy, what are you afraid of?" A creepy voice comes from behind.

Fearfully Kritos took a look at the monsters and saw the deep black eyes which were constantly staring at him.

"Kritos! Why? Why do you follow me? I had told you not to follow me." Sanju cried out from the above as he wrapped by the tongue.

Sanju knew it was impossible to get out alive from here. This Frog is not a monster from which you can escape as you wish.

It was a mythical demonic monster that Sanju only heard about from his instructor. A demonic frog, which held an endless amount of mana on his body. Creation was his domain and one of the neutral party monsters. No one knew how he was born and from which era he comes from.

Kritos saw the dreadful face of his elder brother. Many thoughts come into his mind, ' Why do we come here? Why had I told my elder brother to accompany me on the hunt?'

The last moment of his brother, Rio, kept appearing on his field. 

"No, This time, I can't let anyone be killed because of me, even if I have to beg." A violent thought appears on his mind.

Only one way the monster would release Sanju if I had something which restrains him from killing Sanju.

Supreme Human System

I have to disclose it for the exchange of life. A system is not useful for a dead person.

"Pfft-"

"Are you guys going to be crazy? Why so sentimental because of material emotions?"

Dario moved his eyeball towards Kritos and stared at him for a second.

"Boy, Who are you?" With a severe complexion, Dario asked.

On the other side, Kritos blanked out for a second. He hesitantly spoke," A hu-human."

As he answers, Dario glares at him for a brief second; he murmurs," He is not him."

'Nonetheless, they both have the same curse. I can't trifle with this boy why I'm the only one who meets this curse twice in my life.' Dario internally cursed his bad luck, a fear which was sleeping down for thousands of years ago, is again woke up due to this meeting.

"Boy, Is he yours-"

"My brother," Kritos quickly admitted.

'Tsk! Once again, a witness escaped from my shackles. I can just pray he would never find them.' 

Dario looked at Sanju and put him down on the ground.

"You can go, but never dare to disclose anything about me. Remember, never." Dario said with a serious expression.

Both Kritos and Sanju glanced at each other and silently nodded. They don't dare to ask about his unusual change in behavior.

'Are nowadays, demonic monsters are tending towards good. Or he is just giving us false hope.'

Ignoring the confused looks on both, Dario again said, " Remember, never."

Kritos has a doubt that this monster let them escape alive. 'He must be playing with us.'

Dario looks at Kritos like he knows he thought, " I swear to heaven that I would never pursue this matter just go."

Both were stunned for a moment and then decided to escape quickly from here.' Who knows when this monster changes its mind.'

Unknowingly, Dario used a spell, which removes the presence of him from these mortal bodies.

Looking at the back of their body, Dario murmurs, "The same fate and the same curse. It's a coincidence, or again, a disaster arises."

Not wasting a second, Dario fiercely jumped from his spot. A jump beyond anyone's estimation. 

In the air, " Fuck! This curse is slightly connected to me. I have to remove it quickly," Dario shouted.

***

Kritos and Sanju heard an exploding voice; they peeked at their back. 

A small meteor is moving upward at an aggressive rate; the small meteor was the Dario, who just jumped upward.

"Is this that demonic monster?" Kritos asked doubtfully.

"I think so," Sanju replied.

"Brother, can we go back. I have to retain my bow." Kritos fearfully asked.

Kritos was terrified due to his words; he knew they just escaped from death. But the greed in his heart was kicking him forcefully.

At the bottom of the pit from where the giant frog comes. There were approx thousands of crystals lying peacefully.

Kritos once saw them when he first glimpsed at the demonic frog.

Sanju fiercely glared at Kritos; he angrily said," A-Are you out of mind? We just escape from death. You again wish to go there just for a bow. Not to mention you follow me without heeding my words."

Kritos gulped down the saliva from his throat and nervously said, " Elder brother, actually, I saw something which dangled into my mind, a fruit. I think it is certainly a magical fruit. Brother, let's go. Moreover, the demonic monster is gone now. "

Kritos can't let go of this fortunate opportunity even if there is a slight risk. Previously, there was only one problem that held him from going back, the giant frog. Now, it's left.

The magical fruit, Sanju knew it more than anyone in the city. He was searching for a particular fruit, which is commonly called Revitalization fruit. 

Revitalization fruit lets the consumer increase his age and the potential of his body. Like at the age of 60 years, consumers would have the potential of a 20-year-old youth. This way, the lower talent cultivator can achieve breakthroughs.

Sanju knows its appearance and the likelihood of where it could be found.

From one of the possibilities, the most odds of finding it would be definitely the place where an excess amount of mana is present in a small area.

'Perhaps, it was some magical fruit.' Sanju thought

Sanju glimpsed at Kritos; he knew he wouldn't be able to stop him from following.

"Ok, but you must be behind me and obey all my commands." Sanju solemnly said.

"I will, elder brother."

Sanju ignored him and ran in the opposite direction. From behind, Kritos follow him.

***

Once they neared, they saw a bloody battle of monsters, which is continuously going on. They were fighting for the last ten spiritual crystals.

Rank two and Rank one monsters had already taken their piece of the award. Only a few zero rank monsters were crazily fighting for the Crystal. As for possession of two or more crystals, no one dares to do that. One monster could only mutate once, more than this; they would die due to the excess of energy.

Kritos grabbed the bow, which was lying on the ground.

'No one can seize these last ten crystals.

"Kritos, what are you doing? We come here for the fruit, not for this dung." Sanju fiercely said.

"Dung!"

Kritos observed the surroundings and sensed the abnormal smell.

'Wow, what a monster. Even its waste can't compare to rank one and rank two monsters. Gotta snatch them all.' Kritos thought

"Where is that fruit?" Sanju asked

Kritos uncomfortably pointed at a particular place, which couldn't be clearly seen by the naked eye.

Sanju knows if there was really a magical fruit, then these monsters don't let it peacefully sprout in the plant. But he doesn't want to regret it because of his thoughts. Maybe it is peacefully lying waiting for a righteous owner.

"Search with me, but don't attack them. If you see any danger, call me. " Sanju said.

Kritos nodded his head, but his eyes were saying something else.

Sanju leaps towards that particular place 50 meters away from the pit. Kritos follows him, but he was seizing the crystal from his two eyes.

Kritos just have to wait for the right moment. Then, he would be able to shot two birds with one stone.

'Kritos think a way to seize them from the crowd.' Kritos thought

Unbeknownst to both of them, Dario was looking at them from the air. He concealed himself with the invisibility spell.

"Boy, you are so greedy. I Just hope before you lose someone precious, you will know your curse. Sorry, I can't tell your curse. I think no one will be able to tell your curse in this universe as this curse will be indirectly infected to the speaker."
