The moment Derek withdrew his hand from Lady Revenna's forehead, the hum of spiritual energy faded away. He took a measured step back, lowering his arm while keeping a close, watchful eye on her.Revenna slowly looked down at her hands, and the sight left her completely speechless. The deep, heavy wrinkles that had lined the backs of her hands were gone. Not completely vanished, but the difference was stark and undeniable. Her skin looked smoother, visibly firmer. She turned her hands over, examining them from every angle before rubbing her thumb across her skin, almost expecting the sudden change to evaporate the moment she touched it.The improvement remained. The faded lines refused to return.Her eyes narrowed as she studied her own flesh. For years, she had watched her body degrade under the crushing weight of the curse, feeling her strength slip away in ways no ordinary person could ever comprehend. In less than a minute, Derek had reversed something she had long believed was pe

The deal Derek had placed before Lady Revenna left her genuinely surprised. She had expected something much greater. After all, he was standing before the woman who ruled this world with an iron hand, a woman whose power could crush him in seconds, yet his demand was simple. Tell him the truth about the hatred between her family and the Morrisons, and he would tell her how to break the curse. It sounded almost too easy.Revenna had spent years searching for a way to remove the curse, and countless curse breakers had come before her. Some were powerful, some were highly respected, and others claimed they had broken curses that had existed for centuries, but none of them had succeeded. In fact, most of them had told her the same thing: the curse was unbreakable. What made Derek even more suspicious was that he had identified the curse without her telling him anything, something that had never happened before. The curse breakers who came to her never knew what had been placed on her unle

Lady Revenna continued walking toward Derek, every step she took sending a fresh tremor through the stone beneath her feet. Cracks spiderwebbed outward across the floor while the air pressure in the chamber grew suffocating. Zora watched from the sidelines in sheer terror. She knew precisely how powerful her master was, having witnessed that strength countless times before, but never like this. Never with this magnitude of rage, and never with such lethal intent. Zora swallowed hard, struggling against the heavy atmosphere as she realized she had never seen Lady Revenna in such a volatile state.Derek felt the crushing weight bearing down on him as well. Even with his mastered breathing techniques, his chest tightened as he fought to keep his rhythm steady against the overwhelming force. He knew the situation had spiraled into dangerous territory. He still lacked a full understanding of the ruins, remained unsure of his own true limits, and had no clue what Lady Revenna was fully capa

Lady Revenna slowly rose from her seat, and the moment she stood, the atmosphere in the chamber shifted entirely. The calm composure she had maintained vanished, replaced by a cold, deadly intensity as her gaze locked onto Derek."You have an explanation to give," her voice thundered, echoing off the stone walls.The entire building began to vibrate. The floor shook violently beneath their feet, wall carvings trembled, and strange objects rattled along the tables. An overwhelming aura exploded from Lady Revenna, surging outward in an invisible, crushing wave.Around the room, guards instantly collapsed to their knees as if slammed down by an impossible weight. Some tried to fight it, their palms slamming into the stone as they gasped for air, but the pressure was absolute. Even Zora was forced down onto one knee, her eyes wide with shock. She had felt her master's power before, but never like this. This was not a stern warning; it was pure, unbridled fury.The pressure hit Derek like

Hearing Lady Revenna's claim, Derek stared at her for a few seconds before a short, disbelieving laugh escaped his lips."You're expecting me to believe that?" he asked, shaking his head. "No. I don't buy it."Zora frowned from the doorway, her arms crossed tight against her chest."How exactly do you expect me to accept that one day here is one month on Earth?" Derek spread his hands, his voice dripping with skepticism. "That doesn't make any sense. You're just trying to play smart with me." He glanced around the stone chamber. "I've only been here a short while. You're telling me that if I spend a single day here, an entire month passes outside?"Revenna met his defiant gaze without flinching."That is never going to convince me," Derek added, folding his arms.Silence settled heavy and cold over the room. Then Revenna spoke, her voice cutting straight through his protests. "The only thing you have is brute strength. But you don't have enough sense to think."The insult hit him inst
