Novel & Cerita World Break: Aria Of Curse For A Holy Swordsman

Chapter 24 – The Brink The malformed rogue lunged, its weight shaking the courtyard stones, and Aria didn’t retreat. The sword felt alive in her grip, burning cold against her palms, as Serena’s growl rolled through her veins like thunder. The beast’s claws came down in a blur of bone and shadow. Aria swung with all she had. Steel scraped across its arm, tearing muscle but not stopping it. The sheer force of its strike sent her staggering, knees almost buckling, the jolt rattling her bones.

[The system has completed all upgrades after this upgrade. [However, according to the rules, the system can still undergo an ultimate evolution. [To meet the requirements of the system’s ultimate evolution, the host needs to gather the top three Ancient Weapons scattered in the universe. [The three Ancient Weapons are the Sky-Splitting Ax, the God of Thunder Hammer, and the Sun Bow. [Currently, the host already has the God of Thunder Hammer. Only the Sky-Splitting Ax and the Sun Bow are needed to start the ultimate evolution of the system.

“Not without backup.” “I don’t need backup.” “Yes, you do. You’re strong, Aria. But you’re not immortal.” Aria’s eyes locked on Xarion. “I’ll become what I have to.” She whispered a spell under her breath—one of the witch incantations from the god-chain scroll. Her blade shimmered with dark light. She charged. --- The world blurred as she raced through the battlefield. She dodged claws, ducked under arrows, flipped over a creature’s back. She was fury incarnate.

“If you love me like you always claim, take care of the things that matter most to me, including Jane.” “Don't worry, Liam. Because of the love I have for you, I'll get to the bottom of this and expose the truth behind her scheme,” Aria said with fierce determination. With that, she stormed out of the room with a burning energy. The last time she had this look on her face, she ended up breaking the bone of a contestant during a fashion contest. I just hope she doesn't break Jane's bone too. I don't need a crippled pain reliever.

Karissa didn’t move. She just stared down at me for a long, silent moment. I stared right back before finally speaking. “This suits you more than the heels.” Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “You’re a Female Crescent Warrior,” I continued, thinking of what Patron had said- “Not a Barbie doll. Do yourself justice to what you’re capable of.” Her eyes narrowed. For a moment I thought she might actually punch me. Then a slow half-smirk curved her lips. “You have no idea what I’m capable of.”

The gash oozed something darker than blood, tendrils of magic writhing out like smoke, each one trying to strip away what strength Aria had left. “It’s not just a wound,” Mira murmured, hands steady despite the tremor in her voice. “It’s a mark—a curse. The entity means to hollow you from the inside.” Aria’s vision swam. In the haze of pain, she saw flashes of the hollowed forest and the bargain she had struck, the years she had already surrendered. How much more could she give before nothing of her remained? But outside, the war still raged, and voices still called her name. She pushed herself upright, breath sharp, resolve unbroken. “I have to go back. The legion needs to see me standing.”

Relief washed over me as she sank onto a nearby chair. Taking a deep breath, I began my tale. The words tumbled out, a torrent of fear, confusion, and a desperate need to be believed. I spoke of the ancient curse, the hidden world of the Lyka’s wolves, and the fateful night that bound me to their pack. Ariana listened intently, her expression vague. I tried to read between her raised brows and raised breaths, but I still couldn’t tell if I was doing a good job convincing her that I was still the same Ella.

There was something very familiar about the woman but I couldn’t figure out what it was. “Step back, Daniel. If you remain glued to her, I won’t be responsible for the outcome,” Cole, who had torn the walls down, growled. “How did you break the walls?” I swore and released Aria taking several steps back. Cole meant what he said. “I couldn’t resist her wolf, Daniel. For an Omega, she has a very strong-willed wolf. I can feel her wolf’s anger after you said those words. Aria doesn’t know it, but her wolf has the potential to become a warrior wolf and even more,” Cole’s assumption confused me.

"Sounds interesting." "What happens if I can confuse everyone? And what if I fail to do so?" "Hm." Alexia looked around to find the perfect punishment for our little game. Then her gaze fell on the beer before standing up to grab it. "If you can't decide the answer, you must drink a glass of this." She showed it to everyone. "But if most of you can answer right, I will drink a glass." Joe raised his hand right after Alexia finished her words. "Sorry, Luna, but Tania can't drink alcohol."

Knocking Aria from her continuous breath of frost and leaving her a wide open. In a split second Mayari then left the sword's touch and draw her hand up front, letting the beautiful glow of dark red envelope her entire palm. And with Mayari's command, crimson blood instantly burst out from Aria's mouth.
