Treasure: The Cursed Dragon Pendant (Sealed)

Lucian's gaze darkened as a dark crimson pendant appeared in his hand.

[Cursed Dragon Pendant] (Sealed)

A legendary artifact containing remnants of a fallen dragon lord.

Can slowly corrupt its wielder, making them more susceptible to control.

Sealed: Requires blood of a strong cultivator to awaken.

'Interesting…'

A cursed treasure, perfect for manipulating someone with strong willpower.

His eyes gleamed. Seraphina Yue was the ideal target.

Sowing Doubt in the Heroine

Seraphina, despite her rage, felt a strange unease.

Something didn't feel right.

How did Annalise know about the ruins?

Why did she move so quickly?

Doubt began to creep into her mind.

And then—a letter arrived.

It was unsigned, but its words struck her deeply.

"You are not the only Chosen One who has been betrayed."

"The heavens do not favor you as much as you think."

"Perhaps it is time to consider a different path."

Seraphina's grip tightened.

Who sent this?

She didn't know.

But for the first time, she questioned whether she was truly on the right side.

And in the shadows, Lucian smiled.
