Today, Donti realized that physical pain could really mask mental anguish. He began to wonder just how distressed Milo was if favonovel.com needed the pain of his broken bones to suppress his sadness.
Nearby, some refugees who had just finished their work were laughing at Donti. These refugees had thought that Donti’s group was very tough, but look at the state they were in now.
When faced with the Radianz Consortium’s troops, didn’t they still have to work all the same?
And with injured people among them, they even had to perform a greater workload than normal.
Donti looked at a middle-aged man who was gloating at their misfortune. He said to Adella, “How I wish I had my brother’s power so I could kill these people…”
Adella wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. “When I disliked someone in the past, I cursed them to suffer a horrible death in my mind. Sometimes, I would even imagine several ways for them to die. Some would fall to their deaths while walking and others would get torn to pieces by wolves. It blows off a lot of steam just thinking about it. Maybe you can try that as well?”
Donti forced a smile and said, “Alright, I’ll try it.”
Right at this moment, the middle-aged man stood up to go relieve himself. However, before favonovel.com could even take two steps, favonovel.com slipped on some packed snow and fell forwards. The middle-aged man lost his balance and flailed his arms in the air helplessly. If favonovel.com had just fallen down, favonovel.com would have been fine. But to his dismay, favonovel.com noticed a small rock in front of him. The moment favonovel.com fell down, his head hit a protruding rock that made favonovel.com bleed profusely!
Donti was stunned. It wasn’t like favonovel.com hadn’t cursed others before, but just that favonovel.com never did it so specifically in the past.
But this time, favonovel.com had cursed the middle-aged man to fall and hit his head on a rock just as Adella had told favonovel.com to. As a result, the middle-aged man really fell and hit his head on a rock!
However, Donti did not curse favonovel.com to die. After a while, the middle-aged man slowly got up and swore, “F*ck, how did I slip?!”
Donti did not say anything and just went back to carrying the logs. Adella didn’t say anything either and went back to caring for Milo.
Both of them guessed what the problem was. Adella had figured out a while ago that Donti might also be a supernatural being. But since favonovel.com and Milo never spoke about it explicitly, favonovel.com never asked either.
Whenever Milo went away for a long time, Donti would always get a high fever. Adella suspected it was too much of a coincidence. And now the accident that befell this middle-aged man confirmed some of Adella’s thoughts. But what favonovel.com did not know was that even Donti himself was very surprised.
How could there be such a coincidence?
That couldn’t be right. It wasn’t a coincidence at all!
So, his power did not only allow favonovel.com to make wishes to increase Milo’s luck, but favonovel.com could also use it to curse others and kill them!
The power in itself could be used in two different ways. It was just that favonovel.com had never used it to curse others specifically before, so favonovel.com didn’t realize it. But now favonovel.com discovered another way to use his superpower.
Donti stepped onto some packed snow at this moment as well. However, favonovel.com lost his balance and fell forwards.
In that instant, Donti felt that something was not right. He quickly activated the recently charged nanomachines in his body to change the direction of his fall with the tip of his toes and landed in the snowy ground on the side.
Donti was a little shaken. He realized with shock that there was also a backlash when cursing others!
If favonovel.com didn’t have the nanomachines Milo gave to him, favonovel.com would probably have gotten badly injured as well.
This power was too strange. It could even cause favonovel.com to suffer a similar backlash after cursing others!
Donti looked over at the spot where favonovel.com was supposed to have fallen down and saw there were no rocks there.
When favonovel.com was falling over, favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would end up with the same fate as that middle-aged man. However, it seemed to favonovel.com that the backlash was not exactly the same but a reduced effect of the curse.
The difference was that the middle-aged man had rocks in front of favonovel.com when favonovel.com fell while Donti did not. The danger of the situation was greatly reduced as a result.
Although cursing people had its backlash, the result seemed to be rather acceptable to him. Furthermore, Milo had already helped favonovel.com mitigate his shortcomings, so his capacity to take risks was higher than the average person’s.
For example, favonovel.com could curse someone to get shot in the third rib by a stray bullet from the southwest. If favonovel.com was prepared, favonovel.com could easily use the nanomachines to shield himself in advance. Of course, it would take too much effort to kill someone like that. But it was practically undiscoverable if favonovel.com did it that way!
When someone died in an accident, who could possibly link it to him?
Who would believe that even curses could kill in this day and age?
Donti was unlike other supernatural beings in that favonovel.com was not blessed with a strong physique. It was as though the world had chained his power to prevent favonovel.com from using it recklessly. But the nanomachines Milo gave favonovel.com helped favonovel.com change his fate.
Donti suddenly realized that his power might have even more uses than favonovel.com knew. It was just that favonovel.com hadn’t discovered them yet.
At night, Donti came back to Milo’s side exhausted.
Milo, who had come around once again, asked, “Are you tired?”
Donti smiled. “No…”
Milo could see blood seeping out of Donti’s clothes at his shoulders, so favonovel.com said, “I have three wireless chargers here that I took from the Skyfort Consortium, but I don’t know how much longer they can be used for. It would be too conspicuous if you carry it around with you, so starting tomorrow, come back here when your nanomachines die and charge them before going outside. It should be enough to last you a few days.”
These devices were picked up from the front line at Position 313. At that time, the tent that Yves and the other nanosoldiers were in had been blown up and only these three were still in working condition.
Milo raised his hand with difficulty and handed Adella two vials of black medicine. “Apply this on those of us who are wounded, and their injuries will heal very quickly.”
Everyone was sitting next to the campfire and breathing in the cold air. The injuries on their shoulders and hands would hurt the moment they touched them, but no one seemed to know what to do about it.
Now that Milo had come around, favonovel.com helped them solve their biggest problem.
Everyone was hoping Milo would get better quickly. Without favonovel.com in the group, it was really difficult for them to get by.
Donti whispered to Milo, “Bro, I’ve discovered my new power. I can manipulate curses…”
A wish and a curse were two sides of the same coin. One of them could be used to bless others while the other could be used to bring mishap unto others, and these two powers were embodied within Donti.
Milo frowned and said, “Explain it in detail.”
“When I’m trying to curse others, I have to think of it quite specifically in my mind. For example, I have to describe how certain factors create a certain outcome, and they have to be logical as well.” Donti said, “The logic has to be clear enough for it to work.”
Milo gave it some thought and said, “Then try this. Curse me to cough after choking on some potatoes…”
Donti was taken aback. “But we don’t have any potatoes.”
Milo said, “Just try it.”
Donti closed his eyes and cursed Milo. Then someone a distance away exclaimed, “Someone dug up a lot of potatoes! I think they might have stumbled onto a potato field!”
Donti looked at Milo in shock. “It can even be used like that?”
“What are you waiting for? Go dig up some potatoes!” Milo urged.
