"The Anchures, indeed, are quite the cautious sort."
Again, George couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth as he blocked the curse of Jerv's explosion for everyone once again.
The curse is nothing to some evil ones, and it can even grant them immortality, but for those with kind hearts and a deep love for the world, it is the greatest of punishments.
The desire to die cannot be fulfilled, yet living brings daily guilt and regret.
This might be what people often say: if you want to punish someone, killing them with a single blow is the lightest punishment, as they only feel the pain for an instant.
Actually, he does have some ideas of his own on how to break the curse.
Just like how Meliwyne's soul was made manifest by him, he can also extract and manifest Jerv's soul using the method of extracting souls of apprentice mages in the magical world.
However, this is uncertain.
Because this world is not lacking in magic that can transfer souls from the body. If it were effective, Jerv should have used it long ago.
Perhaps this curse is not only affecting the body, but also the soul.
As for why Meliwyne is not affected?
That's likely because her death itself was caused by the curse, which is why she was able to return to a normal state as a soul.
But even if it is possible, he will not do it now. If he does so and offends the Anchures god, it would cause him a lot of trouble.
In any case, the curse on Jerv is no longer effective for the current Meliwyne. They live in a place far from people, and it doesn't affect anything.
And with his physical body, even if he withstands Jerv's curse, the issue wouldn't be much.
Jerv's curse is that the stronger the love, the more powerful its explosion. Theoretically, if Jerv falls in love with the Dragon and gives it a kiss, the Dragon may also be at risk of death.
However, that is clearly impossible.
Jerv has a wife and children, and he is a normal person in all aspects.
Regarding the magic king, the magic king's strength is not weak. If he restores his full might, theoretically, he can withstand it a few times.
If not, he can just use his thought form to visit his parents.
Of course, he still wants to study the curse of the Anchures god.
On one hand, he is interested in curses of this level. On the other hand, he also needs to consider that if he really offends the Anchures god one day, and gets cursed in the same way, there will be a way to break it.
When he first saw Jerv's curse, he felt that the curse had some similarities with death curses.
So if there is a way to break it, perhaps the "love" magic in the Department of Mysteries of the Harry Potter world has a chance to crack it.
It seems that his alter ego in the Harry Potter world can no longer continue playing house. He needs to learn the mysterious "love" magic early on.
"Ten years, Jerv, we make a ten-year deal. You and Meliwyne will live together for ten years. If Meliwyne's love cannot kill you after ten years, I have a way to help you escape."
After Jerv's family of three reunited, George moved forward again to propose a suggestion.
In ten years, he should be able to reach a level of strength that can resist the power of Anchures god.
"Alright, I agree with you."
This time, Jerv agreed without hesitation. He didn't even question what George would do to help him escape after ten years.
Because his mindset has slightly shifted now.
The most important people in his life, his brother Nazz, his wife Meliwyne, and the magic king he just discovered as his own child, are all by his side.
At this moment, he doesn't want to escape as much as before.
Moreover, a mere ten years is just a blink of an eye for him. Deciding after ten years wouldn't be too late.
The other twelve shields heard Jerv's answer and breathed a sigh of relief.
They don't want their sovereign to die. That is their faith.
"Now that everything is clear, we're all friends. Come on, let me heal you all."
After solving Jerv's problem, George smiled and walked towards the twelve shield warriors who were heavily injured.
The twelve shields looked at the smiling George, and for some reason, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
The treatment has to be done, but we can't delay copying their memories.
The magic of these twelve shields is still useful to him.
While treating Eileen, he noticed that her gaze kept glancing at Elyssa on the other side, with a very complex expression.
It seems she has realized that Elyssa is her daughter.
George didn't reveal this either. The matter between these mother and daughter needs to be resolved by themselves step by step.
Whether Elyssa can forgive Eileen depends on Elyssa herself.
Even though he is the leader, he wouldn't impose his own thoughts and force his intervention on Elysha's own decision.
Although Eileen abandoned Elyssa, it can be understood. It's undeniable that abandonment is abandonment. If it weren't for Elyssa's luck, she might have died long ago in the Paradise Tower.
It's different from the magic king. The magic king was abandoned by the second generation leader. Jerv and Meliwyne were unaware they had a child.
That's why he revealed it, to give them a happy ending, and also to make Jerv agree to his conditions.
As for Eileen, if Elyssa chooses to forgive her after knowing the cause and effect, he will try his best to help Eileen return to human form on account of Elyssa's face.
Compared to Jerv, Eileen's situation is much easier to handle.
Jerv is cursed by the Anchures god, and helping him might anger Anchures. Eileen, on the other hand, is affected by the side effects of the dragon-slaying magic.
Whether it's using the improved Animagi, extracting Eileen's soul and recreating a new body, or transferring the soul to a new body, it should all be possible.
After treating the wounds of the twelve shields, leaving the mirror space, George and his guild members attended a banquet prepared for them by the Empire.
During this time, he asked Jerv a question.
"Jerv, in your opinion, what are the chances of me winning a battle against a black dragon?"
"It's not possible to win."
At the words, Jerv shook his head:
"To be honest, your strength is not much weaker than Akuro NJK. However, your magic is hard for him to counteract, so."
George immediately got it in his mind.
It's still the same issue – the black dragon is immune to magic, so the only way to fight a black dragon is to use physical damage or magic that can cause physical harm.
For example, enhancing the giant magic of oneself, or the astronomy magic that Eileen can summon to blast with meteorites.
Or the emotional magic like Rakeade, which also works, but has little direct killing power.
At least, through Jerv, he knows that the black dragon's output should be on the same level as his, not higher.
If they really fight, he indeed can't defeat the black dragon at the moment, but the black dragon wouldn't be able to kill him either.
The only trouble is that if the black dragon attacks a certain place, he would find it hard to stop it.
In fact, if he didn't want to use the black dragon's body to create a dragon crystal that could perform the absorbing magic, he really didn't want to provoke the black dragon.
