Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 351: Weak Larry 

Amelia's POV:

When Larry agreed to practice magic with me, I nearly I jumped for joy.Now was my chance to test Larry's energy.

Just now, I was worried that Larry would suspectif I suggested practicing magic with him, but he didn't seem to notice anything off.I tried to calm myself down as Larry turned around and entered a room.

It didn't take long before he cback out, but this time, he was carrying a magic book in his hand.

"Amelia, I bet you'll never guess what's in this."

With a smug smile, Larry spread the book on the table.

"I've been practicing the magic in this book recently."

Truth be told, I had no interest in Larry's magic book.I knew he always liked studying black magic.

But for the sake of carrying out my plan, I had to pretend to be interested.

Tilting my head to the side in feigned curiosity, I asked, "What magic, Larry?"

Larry took my hand and smiled atconfidently.

"You'll know it when you see it.Cand have a look! I played along and glanced at the magic spells recorded in the book.Then, my eyes went wide with shock.It was the magic spell of rejuvenation! Larry was actually studying the magic of restoring youth! I was so shocked that I pointed at the book and shouted in a shaky tone, "Larry! This kind of magic is taboo.I've never heard of a witch who has successfully pulled it off.Many have tried, but in the end, they all aged faster as a side effect."

For sreason, I found myself hoping that Larry wouldn't do anything stupid and would live well.

"Oh, calm down, Amelia.I'm no ordinary witch, remember?"

Larry huggedand winked atarrogantly.

"But what are you planning to do with such a spell, Larry?" I asked with suspicion.

Unexpectedly, Larry's expression softened and he looked ataffectionately.

"Amelia, to be honest, I'm doing this all for you.I really want to go back to the past and relive our glorious ttogether.I miss those wonderful days—so much so that I'm going crazy! Lately, I've been using witchcraft to make myself appear young again, but it's all just illusory.I want to completely restore my youth and win you over again, Amelia!"

I was completely at a loss for words.

Larry did all of this for me? Truth be told, I was terrified.

I shook my head adamantly and insisted, "Larry, that's absurd! I don't mind what you look like now.We're old and that's nothing to be ashamed of."

"No!"

Larry suddenly exploded, staring atlike how a tiger fixated on its prey.

"Amelia! This is the only way I'll ever deserve you again."

I could see from the crazed look in his eyes that there was nothing I could do to convince him otherwise.He wasn't normal at all.

"Well then, it's up to you, Larry.But I refuse to practice any forbidden magic," I said firmly.

"It doesn't matter.I won't force you."

Surprisingly, Larry was pretty lax about my refusal.

He simply tookby the hand and ledout of the log cabin.He wanted to practice the Frost Curse, a high-level magic spell that could freeze everything.

I watched expectantly, hoping that his magic would fail and prove tothat his energy was weakened.

"Watch and learn, Amelia!"

Larry seemed to thrive under my attention.He whipped out his wand and pointed it at a big tree.

"Frost Curse!"

A dazzling white light burst out from Larry's wand, and then the tree was encased in ice, frozen completely.

I was so shocked to see this that I clenched my fists.

Oh, my God! Hadn't Larry's energy been weakened at all? Why on earth was he still so powerful?

Larry's POV:

Seeing the shocked expression on Amelia's face, I was satisfied to see that she was fascinated by my skill with magic.

"Honey, what do you think? Pretty good, right?" I asked proudly.

"That was amazing, Larry!"

Amelia's expression of disbelief madefeel inexplicably happy.

"Of course it was.Who am I? I'm Larry, the grand wizard!"

I puffed out my chest boastfully.

And why shouldn't I be proud? I was the strongest of my kind! Amelia asked excitedly, "Larry, do you have any other incantation skills that you can show me?"

I didn't know why Amelia was suddenly so interested in my magic spells, but since she requested to see more,I wasn't about to refuse her.

"Letshow you the Avatar Curse."

As I spoke, I raised my wand.This was one of the curses I had mastered.

But unexpectedly, the moment I raised my wand, I suddenly felt dizzy.

Damn it! The feeling of my energy being drained attacked again.

But how could this be? I had only used the Frost Curse once! My hands started to tremble.I took a deep breath and wanted to give up right then and there.

But when I turned around and met Amelia's expectant eyes, I gritted my teeth and decided to push through with it.

Damn it! I was the grand wizard Larry.

How could I give up in front of my beloved woman? I couldn't disappoint Amelia!

"Avatar Curse!" I shouted into the open space.

But nothing happened.

"Avatar Curse!" I shouted again, embarrassed.

When the wand didn't respond, I kept on shouting.

"Avatar Curse! Avatar Curse!"

Finally, I felt a gust of magic energy rushing out of my body, and I prepared to push through with the curse.

But this time, before I could utter the words, I suddenly felt a piercing pain in my head, as though my brain had exploded.

"Ouch!"

I couldn't bear it anymore.I collapsed backwards, dropping the wand in my hand.

It clattered to the ground.

"Larry!"

Amelia rushed to my side and helpedup.

My cheeks were aflwith embarrassment.

How humiliating! I coughed awkwardly.I opened my mouth to say something, but my head felt so heavy and my legs felt so weak.

The taste of metal lingered in my mouth.I spat and to my surprise, there was a puddle of blood at my feet.

"Larry, just take it easy.You should get srest."

Amelia picked up the wand I had dropped and helpedback to the log cabin.

"I'm sorry, honey, for letting you see such a humiliating failure."

Amelia helpedlie down on the bed.I took my wand from her hand.

Mixed emotions bubbled up inside me.

I murmured, "Maybe...Maybe I am getting old after all."

In that moment I decided things couldn't go on like this.

I vowed to master the magic of rejuvenation to get back to the age where I was at my peak.Only then could I be with Amelia and trample those who resisted me.
