The dragon was ready to give Shin a chance and Shin wouldn’t fail to amaze the dragon.
Shin knew the dragon’s status effects. Other than the fact that his stats were hidden, the status effects were being shown to him.
[ Name: ??? ]
[ Race: Dragon ]
[ Status ]
[ -> Starved ]
[ -> Wounded ]
Of course, the status effects could return based on the situation, but yes, Shin had no intentions of betraying the dragon.
‘Hmm, now that loneliness, anger, and frightened stats are gone…’
‘Next is trapped, starved, cursed and wounded…’
Shin wasn’t sure about the trapped and starved status for now. He knew that he could help the dragon get out of the solidified muddy water, but had no idea about the method of doing so.
Since he had the right skills for those things, he was glad because he could be of at least some help!
Shin’s eyes started to shine all of a sudden with a green light just as they usually did when he used any skill.
[ You have used the skill Curse Eater ]
𝓲𝓷nr𝒆𝚊d. 𝘤𝑜𝘮
[ -> Choose a target ]
Usually, Shin would just look at the target and use the skill, but at the moment he was preoccupied thinking many things.
The dragon made a weird expression after hearing him say that.
In any case, his pride was hurt when he was referred to as a slave.
[ Command Accepted ]
[ Processing… ]
[ error ]
[ failed to remove the curse ]
His skill which had leveled up thrice was still unable to remove the curse.
“I didn’t expect such a thing to happen…”, Shin said in a low voice.
‘Hmm…’, and when he was thinking of something else, another system notification appeared.
[ Specific feature of the Curse Eater can be activated ]
[ Curse Eater: #1 -> Can eat ( reduce ) the curse ]
*gulp*
But he specifically got this skill and now he finally understood why. Other skills wouldn’t have worked if the curse would be way beyond their level.
This was something Shin understood and finally realized that all his skills were to given equal attention because who knows what other features could be hidden in the skills!
“Have you changed your mind about helping me?”, the dragon had a stern expression on his face but in reality, he expected something like this.
In any case, reducing the curse didn’t essentially mean that the dragon would be freed completely!
“Actually I have a skill called curse Eater but-“, Shin explained to him everything and the dragon understood.
“So that means you won’t be able to remove the curse?”, the dragon asked.
The dragon agreed to what he said.
“Something is better than nothing…”, was what Shin said because he was trying to console the dragon.
[ You have used the skill Curse Eater ]
[ Analyzing… ]
So he had to wait for a few minutes or even hours.
‘Ding’
[ Curse Eater will be able to eat 30% of the curse ]
He was about to ask about that when all of a sudden the system notified him on its own!
[ The Curse is identified to be a Restraint ]
The moment Shin saw the notifications, he was filled with joy because it was exactly what he wanted!
[ Warning ]
