Chapter 799: The Mystery of the Warlock’s Downfall (7)


When he started to talk about the mysteries of the tragedy, he had already guessed that he would not be able to retain his n.o.ble position in Shen Yanxiao’s heart. However, things already had progressed to this stage, and if he continued to hide the truth, he did not know what terrible consequences would follow.


If those people did not die, sooner or later, the Brilliance Continent would repeat the same mistakes.


“There were three people who led Warlocks to dive into the mysteries of those Forbidden Skills. All three of them were the most powerful Great Summoners ever born, and I was one of them.”


Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth, but no words came out.


“When we first came into contact with Forbidden Skills, we were not aware of its harmful effects. I only regarded it as a slightly advanced curse. However, as we progressed, I realized that the power of the Forbidden Technique had exceeded the limits of our control. It was no longer just casting a curse, but playing G.o.d.”


“Even though I was obsessed with the research on curses, I had no intention to touch anything that would change my source as a being. Unfortunately, it was already too late when I wanted to back out. My two peers were completely obsessed with the Forbidden Skills. I wanted to stop them, but they would not listen to me. What made me feel true despair was that they had even captured my wife and children to threaten me with their lives so that I could continue to research the Forbidden Skills with them.”


“At that time, I had no choice but to do as they said. However, I could not bear to see those innocent people continue to die and live in pain for our research. I constantly felt conflicted in my heart. But, after a long time, I was numb to it. Then, one day, I accidentally discovered that they had long regarded my wife and children as test subjects as well. Unbeknownst to me, they had brought my wife and children to undergo a racial integration experiment. However, my wife and children were not experts, nor did they have a strong physique. They could not withstand the impact of the Forbidden Skills, and so, they quietly pa.s.sed away in sheer terror without my knowledge. In the end, I could not even find their corpses.” Yun Qi buried his face in his hands as the past replayed in his mind like a movie.


He could not find his wife and children in the empty lab. At that time, despair and regret spread throughout his body. He would have forever been oblivious if it was for a young warlock who secretly told him about his wife and children pa.s.sing away.


“At that moment, I was filled with hatred and rage. I summoned my phantom beast and decimated the whole laboratory into ruins. However, my two peers rushed over and joined hands to injure me. If it were not for my phantom beast and my magical beast, I would have died in their hands.”


Because of his thirst for knowledge on Forbidden Skills, he had lost everything: his wife and children; his magical beast and phantom beast that accompanied him for half his life.


Furthermore, due to his severe injuries, he could no longer use magic. In the end of it all, he had become a cripple.


No one could understand the hatred in Yun Qi’s heart then. It was as if he had unintentionally opened Pandora’s box that contained the devil, and he had committed his entire life into it. While doing so, he also dragged in countless lives with him as well.


He did not have his strength nor his achievements anymore. After his involvement in the research was found out, he became a street rat that hid everywhere. If he did not obtain the Moonlight Necklace by chance, he would have died many times over.


Eventually, when he was at his wit’s end, he could only accept Ouyang Huanyu’s help and become the old man who was stationed at Saint Laurent Academy’s Warlock Division.
