Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Chapter 486 Chapter484-Flawless Stratagem

Shadow Elf continued, "In the upcoming events, all we ask of you is assistance. We will not hold your previous actions against you, for you, too, have fallen victim to the deception of the God of Curses."

He understood the innkeeper's anguish and her desperation to undo the tragedy of losing her son.

Shadow Elf believed that her cooperation was essential in uncovering the ultimate strategy of the God of Curses.

Without her help, they would be left vulnerable and unprepared for whatever malevolent plans the god had in store.

As Shadow Elf conversed with the innkeeper, in another realm, Ethan and the God of Curses remained locked in their tense standoff.

Confronted with the God of Curses' inquiries, Ethan chose to withhold any response.

He was uncertain if the God of Curses possessed additional trump cards up his sleeve, and caution dictated his silence.

Though Ethan had emerged victorious in their battle within the Shadow Clan's territory, he sensed that the God of Curses had not yet unleashed his full power.

In the Shadow Clan's domain, Ethan could still draw upon the assistance of the Power of Shadow.

"Why do you remain silent now?" the God of Curses taunted, his tone filled with confidence.

"Do you still believe you have a chance at victory? You must surely sense the relentless surge of the Power of Curse. When it strengthens to a point where the dream realm can no longer bear its weight, both you and everyone within will be crushed by the curse. Even if I were not here, it would be impossible for you to escape."

His presence in this confrontation, the God of Curses explained, was solely to ensure the success of his ultimate plan.

He held an unwavering belief in the flawless execution of his strategy, honed over an extensive period.

"To ensure your complete defeat," he declared, "I have invested considerable time and effort into orchestrating this master plan."

The God of Curses' confidence was unshaken, as he believed Ethan was now trapped without any viable escape routes.

Ethan, as anticipated by the God of Curses, remained in prolonged silence, seemingly devoid of any response or counterstrategy.

Just as the God of Curses prepared to deliver another taunt, Ethan spoke up directly.

"I'm not sure what you think of Shadow Elf. Do you genuinely believe he's incapable of insight into your machinations? He hasn't even delved into the deeper layers of the dream realm. That means there's no way for you to stop his actions. If he were to disrupt your plans within the shallow dreamland, do you truly think your scheme would succeed?"

Ethan's counterquestions left the God of Curses momentarily hesitant.

In truth, the God of Curses didn't hold Shadow Elf in high regard.

To him, Shadow Elf was merely an extension of the power of the God of Shadows, and he considered his own abilities to be on par with those of the God of Shadows.

Therefore, why should he fear Shadow Elf, whose power paled in comparison?

The God of Curses continued to dismiss Ethan's statements as mere bluster.

He straightforwardly retorted, "There's no need for further posturing.

Even if you manage to raise my concerns, what can you possibly achieve? Shadow Elf's actions are destined to fail.

Any efforts within the shallow dreamland cannot impact the current situation here.

Your sole task now is to patiently await your inevitable defeat."

The God of Curses remained staunch in his belief in the success of his plan.

However, at the very moment he concluded his words, he sensed a weakening of the Power of Curse.

"What is happening?! Why is the Power of Curse diminishing?! By what means have you achieved this?!"

The God of Curses was taken aback by the inexplicable dwindling of the Power of Curse.

After all, within the deep dreamland, the Power of Curse was immensely potent, surpassing all other forces.

Faced with the God of Curses' astonished inquiry, Ethan's expression remained remarkably relaxed.

It seemed that Ethan had guessed Shadow Elf's course of action.

"I have a question for you now," Ethan began calmly.

"Your pawns are not limited to just the Black Cloak, are they? The innkeeper must be one of your pawns as well, I assume. If I'm correct, the innkeeper has already collaborated with Shadow Elf. She chose to disrupt your plans within the shallow dreamland. In such a situation, the curse would naturally be swiftly weakened. There's no need for me to waste any more time here. With the Power of Curse already diminished, I will opt for the final showdown with you."

Ethan felt unburdened by the need to hold back, for with the Power of Curse weakened, he had fewer concerns about its full effects being stacked against him.

Ethan launched another attack, but this time, the God of Curses didn't appear as relaxed as before.

He knew that if he were to be defeated now, it would undoubtedly lead to the ultimate failure of his plan.

He had painstakingly devised a flawless strategy and was not about to give up easily.

Choosing to retaliate with his own powers, the God of Curses engaged in a fierce battle with Ethan in the deep dreamland.

The conflict between Ethan and the God of Curses directly manifested itself in the shallow dreamland.

Shadow Elf and Prophet Magus witnessed the creation of more Power of Curse within Ethan's dream, and these manifestations had the potential to spread from the deep dreamland to the shallow one.

"We need to decide on our next steps carefully," Shadow Elf said, his tone reflecting the urgency of the situation.

"Our current actions haven't been entirely successful. The God of Curses still possesses the capability to continue the fight. Can Ethan really defeat him? Should we offer him more assistance? I do have knowledge of some spells that can weaken curses."

Prophet Magus was currently gripped by an overwhelming sense of anxiety.

He had believed that, after successfully gaining the trust of the innkeeper, they would be able to swiftly defeat the God of Curses' plan.

Little did he know that the God of Curses still possessed the power to put up a fight.

Prophet Magus had underestimated the God of Curses' strength.

Sensing Prophet Magus's unease, Shadow Elf spoke up, his tone conveying the gravity of the situation.

"Although the God of Curses has been weakened, he is still a deity, and his power remains formidable. The version of the God of Curses appearing in the deep dreamland is, in fact, his true self. While there are countless incarnations of the God of Curses, each one possesses significant strength."

"If not for our coordinated efforts, the God of Curses' plan would have already succeeded. I can assure you that once the God of Curses' plan succeeds, it won't only affect me and Ethan. Your entire town will face dire consequences. After all, the protective deity of your town pales in comparison to the might of the God of Curses."

Shadow Elf's words were undeniably true.

The protective deity of the small town was far from being one of the top-tier deities; in fact, it couldn't even compare to some of the second-generation deities.

Given this reality, the town's protective deity stood little chance against the might of the God of Curses.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the innkeeper couldn't help but feel a sense of perplexity.

However, the innkeeper didn't need to know all the details.

Regret filled her heart.

Prophet Magus had shown her a vision of her son being successfully resurrected by the God of Curses.

But, as Shadow Elf had pointed out, the resurrection had turned her son into a twisted monstrosity.

Faced with the grim reality, she began to question her allegiance to the God of Curses.

The innkeeper now saw the futility of her actions and realized the dire consequences of her choices.

Her obsession had waned, and she no longer harbored as many regrets.

She understood that betraying the God of Curses might be the only way to prevent the abomination her son had become.

In the end, Prophet Magus and Shadow Elf chose not to take any further actions, realizing that their interference might only complicate Ethan's situation.

They understood that additional interventions might put Ethan at greater risk instead of providing assistance.

They decided to wait patiently for Ethan to prevail in his battle.

Ethan's showdown with the God of Curses had been a prolonged and grueling struggle, and it wasn't until the approach of dawn that the battle reached its climax.

Despite the God of Curses being a deity-level being and having meticulously planned this operation over an extended period, Ethan, with perfect coordination from his allies, managed to secure victory.

Ethan not only uncovered all of the God of Curses' plans successfully but also emerged triumphant in their final confrontation.

While the God of Curses had orchestrated a top-notch scheme, Ethan's unwavering determination and cooperation with his allies ultimately turned the tide of the battle.
