【Cursebreaker Pendant】

A magic item capable of nullifying any magical spell, no matter how powerful. Can only be used once.

“Hoooly crap...” I gulped.

《What? What is it?!》 asked Dora-chan, badgering me to dispel his curiosity.

“A Cursebreaker Pendant, apparently.”

《Oh. Okay, don’t care anymore.》

《Sui wishes there was meat inside instead...》

Two of my familiars immediately lost interest, but I had the exact opposite reaction. “H-Hey, Fel, I get that it’s a one-time-use item, but when it says it can nullify ‘any magical spell,’ does that include, like, curse-inflicted status ailments?”

《Indeed. My appraisal would seem to indicate just that.》

Fel’s appraisal skill was higher than mine, so he tended to get more detailed information from it. If even his skill told him that, though, it seemed safe to say that my first impression was correct.

“And that means...”

《You would do well to wear it at all times.》

One very important fact had remained in a corner of my mind ever since I received my first blessing from the gods. That blessing, and all the ones that followed it, was designated as “small.” As the gods had explained to me, a small blessing would make magic easier to cast and would nullify all status ailments, with just two exceptions: spells cast by an especially powerful magic user and instant death effects.

Those exceptions, of course, were the most important part of that explanation. After all, they meant that if I were unlucky enough to run into a really powerful caster, it was totally possible that my blessings wouldn’t be able to cancel out their spells!

I’d picked up enough small blessings over time that their protection apparently added up to equal that of a normal-sized blessing, but that didn’t stop me from worrying about it a little. I mean, no matter how many of them I got, they were still small blessings. That’s why I was more than happy to take Fel up on his idea and claim the pendant for myself. “Yeah, sounds good. I’ll use it,” I said, immediately putting it on.

Ha ha ha! All right, that’s one less nagging worry to keep me up at night! I didn’t anticipate running into any incredibly powerful mages in the foreseeable future, but it was always good to plan for the worst-case scenario. Having an item like this was a huge weight off my mind, that’s for sure. I just wished I’d be lucky enough to stumble across a magic item that could nullify instant death effects...not that anything that implausibly convenient would ever actually happen.

《With that, our business here is finished. Let us depart,》 said Fel.

We made our way out of the ants’ nest. This time I gave in and let Fel carry me on his back, which made the trip fly past in the blink of an eye.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

We emerged from the forest army ants’ nest, happy to breathe the outside world’s air once again...though since we were still in a dungeon, whether or not it counted as the “outside world” was very much in question. Regardless, we quickly resumed our exploration of the forest.
