At the moment the underground monster appeared, everyone present showed signs of aging—skin wrinkling, hair turning gray, bodies bending.
Seeing this scene, Mina hurriedly cast several spells to lift the curse, but they were of no use and couldn't even slow down the aging process.
Isn't this a spell?!
Mina immediately looked anxiously at Isaiah: "Teacher..."
Isaiah was already an old man, and under the catalyst of aging, he became even older, his entire body like a skeleton barely holding onto flesh.
Yet even so, he remained standing where he was, his eyes devoid of any panic, filled instead with calm.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary druid scale insects that feed on vitality?" Isaiah gazed at the monsters swirling in the night sky and said softly, "Ancient creatures, I thought they were extinct. Never thought I'd see them here. This trip has been worthwhile indeed. You're not simple either, able to control such fierce creatures. Is this the power of the Contract?"
