Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 290 Failed Solution

Medusa's curse is a curse ability unique to the Medusa race.

However, it's not only Medusa who can cast this curse; some of the serpent and scorpion demons who have reached the commander level can also cast the Medusa curse.

Once someone is cursed by Medusa, they will be in Medusa's shadow for the rest of their life. They will be watched by Medusa every time they fall asleep, which will cause them to become mentally weak, unable to use magic, and may even lead to death!

Furthermore, the curse is extremely difficult to break. Perhaps the legendary holy site of Parthenon can cure it, but it is clear that ordinary people are not qualified to go to Parthenon.

Another solution is to obtain Medusa's Tears. The Hunter League set up a bounty for this, but no one has been able to complete it for a long time, and the bounty pool has even accumulated.

"Thank you."

In the hotel in the city of Love Machines, Heidi handed a transparent crystal to Lin Ming and then took a bottle of crystal-clear liquid from Lin Ming's hand.

"Cash on delivery, no need for thanks." Lin Ming took the spatial crystal, tossed it lightly, and smiled.

The difficulties only apply to ordinary high-level mages and ordinary super-level mages.

After all, even the weakest girl, Medusa, was a leader-level demon, and all of them were protected by a huge demon horde.

Even a high-level mage would risk perishing if they tried to enter and hunt the young Medusa.

However, Lin Ming had many ways to capture the leader of the demon tribe without any burden.

Heidi shook her head after hearing Lin Ming's words and said earnestly, "Thank you so much."

She wasn't naive enough to think that her spatial crystal could hire a high-level mage to help them hunt down the young Medusa.

But she could only thank her repeatedly and then hurriedly ran to Blanche's room.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ming followed.

At this moment, Blanche lay on the bed, covered by a snow-white quilt, revealing only her fair and clean face and her long hair that was gathered up.

However, her beautiful face, which resembled Sleeping Beauty's, was marred by furrowed brows and a pained expression.

The students from the Alps Academy were gathered around Blanche's bedside, and when Heidi entered, they all rushed over.

The anxiety on his face was extremely obvious.

"President Heidi, has anyone accepted the mission?" Bochis asked anxiously.

They posted a quest at the Hunter's Guild, hoping a hunter could obtain Medusa's Tears.

But after waiting for a long time without any news, Heidi went to find Lin Ming.

Heidi shook her head, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Pochis.

"Not yet? I've run out of savings. Heidi, could you please ask my grandma to send me some more money?"

As she spoke, she tried to run out of the room, and even bumped into Lin Ming at the door.

"Pochise!" Heidi quickly called out to Pochise, showing her the bottle in her hand.

"You're pregnant?" Bochis was startled and immediately scolded, "Heidi, what kind of time is this to lie to me!"

"It wasn't obtained by the hunter; I asked Mr. Lin Ming to help me get it."

"Lin Ming?" Boqisi was also startled, turning to look at the man and instinctively shrinking her neck.

But he quickly straightened up, bowed, and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your help. If you have the opportunity in the future, please come to the Alps as a guest. The Alpine Academy will always welcome its esteemed guests."

Lin Ming nodded, glanced at Blanche's location, but did not go in.

While Bochis and Lin Ming were talking, Heidi had already run to Blanche's side and dripped Medusa's tears onto Blanche's lips.

Crystal-clear, jewel-like tears slowly seeped from her pale lips, and Blanche's expression vaguely recovered, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, revealing her jewel-like eyes to everyone.

The Alps were overjoyed and quickly surrounded her.

But soon the joy on everyone's faces froze, leaving only bewilderment and helplessness.

Because Blanche's eyes, when she opened them, were completely devoid of any light, the emptiness in them frightened everyone. "Teacher Blanche...hasn't she recovered yet?" Suddenly, someone turned to Heidi and asked.

Heidi's eyes were filled with confusion.

Why? Why? Why hasn't it recovered yet?

Isn't it said that the curse can be broken as long as Medusa's tears are available?

Which link is the problem?
What if Blanche can't reply and make the changes?
How to do?
Just then, a figure appeared in Heidi's blank gaze, and her hopeless eyes regained their vitality.

"Mr. Lin Ming! Come and take a look right away!"

Lin Ming was about to leave and head to the Great Pyramid of Giza after watching Heidi drip Medusa's tears into Blanche's mouth.

He had Heidi's contact information and planned to wait a while until Heidi had spoken with Blanche for a bit before calling her to go to the pyramids.

Having finally found a Chaos Mage, there was no way they would let him go.

Heidi's voice stopped him in his tracks, and he turned around to look at her with some confusion.

But I didn't think much of it and went over to take a look.

"Not awake?" Lin Ming was a little confused, carefully examining Blanche's face.

He reached out and pulled her eyelids open again, revealing her eyes, which had turned bluish-red, as the Eye of Truth was activated.

In the vision of the Eye of Truth, Blanche's eyes were no longer blank, but rather presented a rather strange sight.

A colossal python coiled within her eyes, and in the center of the python, a naked figure huddled.

The giant python's phantom image was somewhat dim, clearly indicating that Medusa's tears had had some effect, but had not completely removed the python-shaped curse.

So, is it because there isn't enough energy?
It's probably because the young Medusa's level is too low. After all, this is a curse personally cast by the second daughter of the Medusa Mother, so it must be much more powerful than one cast by an ordinary serpent.

After understanding the situation, Lin Ming turned to the group from Alps Academy and explained.
"The Medusa who cast the curse is incredibly powerful. The tears of a Commander-level young girl Medusa cannot completely remove the curse. Only a Monarch-level Medusa can remove the curse."

A monarch-level Medusa!
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes dimmed.

They had exhausted their resources and still couldn't find a hunter to hunt down a single Medusa of the highest rank.

Let alone a monarch!

It's important to know that monarch-level Medusas are basically leaders of demon tribes. To hunt down a monarch-level Medusa, you would need to mobilize at least an entire top-tier hunter team!
In fact, due to the danger posed by the Medusa tribe, no one was willing to accept the mission.

Moreover... can they really summon a super-level mage?
Just then, they suddenly remembered that although the man in front of them looked to be about the same age as them, he was a super-powerful mage who could even fight against the entire Red Scorpion tribe by himself. Perhaps he could do it?

However, they also knew that this was not the Alps Academy, and Lin Ming had no obligation to help them.

Thinking of this, Pochis gritted her teeth, a struggle flashing in her eyes, but suddenly raised her head again.

Blanche was only here to save me! If it weren't for me, how could Blanche have been cursed by Medusa! We must save Blanche!
"Senior Lin! Please save Professor Blanche! Our Alps Academy can provide you with a qualification to enter the Chaos Secret Realm!"

Boqisi walked to Lin Ming's side, took out a special small crystal, and pleaded with him.

This secret realm is one of the top secret realms in Europe, capable of greatly enhancing the cultivation level of dimensional mages.

Alps also received a spot, which had originally been embezzled by the dean and given to Bochis, who was instructed that she could only enter after breaking through to the Super Rank.

Now she wants to use this spot to get her teacher, Blanche, back!

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to help you.” Lin Ming shook his head as he looked at the small crystal. “There weren’t many Medusa tribes at the monarch level to begin with, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have all shrunk. Now, it’s impossible to find a Medusa tribe at all.”

"Then...what should we do?" Heidi was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she could only look at Lin Ming with longing eyes.

Lin Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I also know a place where there is definitely a monarch-level Medusa, but that place is extremely dangerous and requires a Chaos Mage to enter."

"Me! Me! I'm a Chaos Mage, I'm willing to go!" Heidi said hurriedly.

Seeing this, Lin Ming's lips curled up slightly. He took the small crystal from Boqisi's hand and then smiled.

"Then let's get ready to go. The two of us, our destination is the Great Pyramid of Giza."
