Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 117 - 114: The Power of Curse! (2/5) _1

Seeing the opponent approaching swiftly, Chen Mo originally intended to activate the Space-Time Pearl. However, he realized that the invincibility of his foe meant that the Space-Time Pearl would merely alleviate the symptoms, not the root cause. Immediately, he extended his left hand, and a black ring he wore emitted a faint, dark light.

In an instant, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly descended.

Whether it was Yan Yingyue, Xu Tao, or even Chen Mo himself, the initiator, they all felt their hearts pound!

"GHE GHE GHE!!!"

Accompanied by a bout of creepy laughter, a terrifying image of the Grim Reaper appeared in the void.

The Grim Reaper was cloaked entirely in a dark red robe, revealing only two eyes that flickered like ghostly flames and his hands, which were as thin and bony as a Skeleton Monster’s.

He held an immensely large scythe in his hands.

The instant he appeared, he swung fiercely at Xu Tao with a WHOOSH!

What the hell is this thing?!

Even though Xu Tao was confident in his abilities, faced with such a bizarre scene, he couldn’t help but feel a sliver of panic.

After all, the Grim Reaper’s spectral form constantly emitted an aura of fear that seemed to well up from the very depths of one’s soul.

This was the oppressive aura of a god bearing down on a mortal! The oppressive aura of death bearing down on life!

Cold sweat trickled down Xu Tao’s forehead. He was no longer in the mood to attack Yan Yingyue; his sole focus was on dodging the swing of the Grim Reaper’s gigantic scythe.

God knows what would happen if I get struck by that monstrous scythe. Even though I know I can withstand any damage, I’m still terrified.

But the Grim Reaper’s apparition wasn’t so easy to dodge.

The moment it was summoned was his only window of opportunity to dodge it.

Once he was successfully possessed by the Grim Reaper’s spectral form, that strike would follow him like a shadow; even if his speed surpassed that of light, it would be useless.

Under Xu Tao’s despairing gaze, the Grim Reaper’s mighty scythe had already WHOOSHED past his neck.

That terrifying aura of death was almost palpable, pressing down on Xu Tao.

It caused Xu Tao’s legs to tremble so violently that he nearly lost his balance.

And as the scythe swept past, he instinctively touched his neck, unsure if his head was still attached.

Fortunately, everything was normal.

It was as if the phantom had truly been just an illusion.

What kind of damn skill is this? Is it just for scaring people?

Xu Tao angrily turned to look at Chen Mo, feeling like he had been played for a fool.

However, before he could compose himself after the scare, the Grim Reaper phantom above his head let out another eerie GHE GHE GHE! cackle.

The next instant, it transformed into a cloud of black mist and flowed directly into Xu Tao’s body.

Only then did Xu Tao simultaneously receive The Heavenly Path’s Hint.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on successfully dodging the Reaper’s Harvest!]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Warning, you have been cursed by the Reaper! You will receive the permanent DEBUFF "Reaper’s Curse"!]

Reaper’s Curse?!

Xu Tao was shocked and quickly opened the Heavenly Path System to check the curse effect.

When he saw that this curse would reduce all his All Attributes by 50%, Xu Tao’s expression turned to one of utter disbelief.

Now, when he tried to advance and kill Yan Yingyue again, he found that his movement speed had suddenly dropped by half.

If his speed had previously been so fast that Yan Yingyue had no time to dodge, now his speed seemed like slow motion to her.

Damn it! How does this guy have such a freakish cursing ability?!

With his speed drastically reduced, Xu Tao was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

His attacks couldn’t find their mark, and if he tried to retreat, Chen Mo could easily keep up. Escape seemed impossible.

His only advantage now was that Chen Mo still didn’t know the secret to his immortality.

But this advantage was soon lost!

"You two, you’ve been hiding in the shadows and watching the show for long enough. It’s time to come out and meet everyone!"

Seeing that Xu Tao was effectively neutralized, Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. Instead, he turned and looked towards the two individuals hiding behind two large trees, still in invisible mode.

Seeing Chen Mo looking directly at them from a distance, the two were clearly somewhat surprised.

They exchanged glances and, only after confirming they were still in invisible mode, did they resist the urge to respond.

They figured Chen Mo was probably trying to bait them out.

After all, the leaderboard indicated that Xu Tao couldn’t possibly be acting alone.

He definitely had companions.

Chen Mo was clearly having trouble dealing with Xu Tao, so it was natural to assume he would try to target his companions instead.

They absolutely could not reveal themselves.

Unfortunately, their supposedly correct assumptions were useless.

The next moment, they lost their nerve.

At a mere thought from Chen Mo, a sudden surge of intense heat erupted in front of the trees where they were hiding!

BANG! BANG! After two consecutive explosions, only two deep craters were left in the ground, scarring the trees.

"Don’t think being invisible is any use. This time I targeted the trees in front of you; next time, it’ll be you. Do you really think being invisible makes you immune to area-of-effect damage?"

With these words, the two could no longer remain hidden.

Chen Mo had bombed such a precise location and had explicitly stated it was the trees in front of them. Didn’t that mean their exact positions were perfectly clear to him?

And they still had no idea how he had managed to create two explosions out of thin air.

To prevent anyone from figuring out his method, Chen Mo had the same Skeleton Monster explode a second time at the very instant of its Revival.

That’s why the Skeleton Monster almost always exploded twice; Chen Mo did this intentionally.

This way, it would be harder for others to figure out how he created the explosions.

At this point, the two were utterly terrified.

"Of course, if you have an immunity ability like your friend, then by all means, stay hidden. I’m very interested to see whether your Health is more robust or my Bomb’s power is greater!"

Since Xu Tao and his teammates were always partied up, he could clearly see their invisible mode.

Seeing both his teammates exposed, Xu Tao, who had been somewhat composed moments before, now felt a surge of anxiety.

The secret to his invincibility lay with his teammates.

If his teammates were exposed, he’d be nothing more than a fragile target!

How could he not panic now! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"It seems you want to put it to the test. Alright, I’ll give you three seconds! 3... 2... 1..."

The instant Chen Mo finished counting to 1 and his Magic Wand began to move, the two individuals quickly dropped their invisibility and scrambled out from behind the half-blasted tree.

They raised their hands high and shouted, "We’re out! We’re out! Don’t set off the explosion!"

It’s over!

At this moment, Xu Tao’s heart was filled with utter despair and boundless regret.

Why on earth did I decide to provoke these two walking disasters? I thought this would be an easy fight to control, but instead, they’ve completely turned the tables on me!
