Chapter 137
Derek listened to Revenna lay out her terms, then let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "Another test? To prove myself how?"Revenna met his gaze in silence, letting the question hang between them."Why are you giving me another test?" Derek pressed, stepping closer. "If you're putting another condition in front of me, that changes the deal. If I actually pass this test, I should be able to ask for something greater than what I originally requested." He folded his arms across his chest, his posture growing firm. "Since you're making me prove myself again, I'm increasing my demand."Revenna considered his words for several long seconds, her eyes searching his face before she finally answered. "Well, if you pass this test, you can ask me for whatever you want."Derek shifted slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. "Whatever I want?""Whatever you want," she repeated. She paused, letting the full weight of the offer settle into the quiet space between them. "But if you fail
Chapter 136
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
chapter 135
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
Chapter 134
Lady Revenna's expression barely changed, but Derek caught the brief flicker of shock in her eyes. The words had reached somewhere deep inside her. Black Leaf Curse. That was exactly what she had been suffering from. For a moment, Revenna simply stared at him. Then, almost instinctively, she pulled her composure back into place. She had lived too long and survived too much to let a stranger read her so easily. Derek might have identified her curse, but that did not mean she trusted him. She still had no idea why he was there. He could have entered her world with an agenda that threatened everything she had spent years protecting. He could have come searching for something sacred, something she would never surrender. He could even have been sent by someone who wanted to take advantage of her weakness. And if Derek Morrison wanted something she could not give him, especially something forbidden or sacrilegious, she would never hand it over. Never. There was another reas
Chapter 133
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
Chapter 132
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
