Curse Returns, a gamble from the start, I awaken dual spells

The air in the waiting area seemed to freeze.

Bone Mound took a step forward, the hem of his gray trench coat moving without wind.

Rito did not back down or answer; he simply stood there, his gaze calmly meeting that of Bone Mound.

"Not going to say anything?"

"Are you scared, or are you frightened?"

As he spoke, Bone Mound slowly walked to the side of the burly man, glanced down at the right arm that had been broken in the opposite direction, and sighed softly.

"That was pretty ruthless, but it's fine. My good-for-nothing brother really needs to be taught a lesson, but..."

He turned around, his gaze sharp: "As the older brother, I have to get an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bone Mound's body suddenly lunged forward.

Li Ren's pupils suddenly contracted.

too fast.

Bone Mound's speed far surpassed that of the previous Tsuchimikado Formation; almost instantly, his figure appeared three meters in front of Rito.

With his right hand fingers spread open, five cuts suddenly appeared on the skin of his palm, from which five pale white bone blades pierced out, aiming straight for Li Ren's face.

Ding!

Rito stepped back half a step with his right foot, leaning his body backward, as the five bone blades grazed the tip of his nose.

But just as the bone blade grazed past him, Bone Tomb raised his left hand as well.

At the same time, the skin on his left arm split open, and seven or eight bone blades pierced out from the side of his arm, like spikes erected on a shield, sweeping across.

Li Ren touched the ground with his toes, flipped backward, and drew an arc in the air.

boom!

He landed on the ground five meters away, and the bone blades barely grazed his clothes as he stood still.

"Not bad." Bone Mound flicked the bone blade in his hand, making a crisp clanging sound.

"But it's not fast enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body disappeared again.

This time, it's even faster.

Rito only saw a gray afterimage flickering in his field of vision. He instinctively dodged to the left, while simultaneously gathering his magical power in his right hand and punching the spot where the afterimage might appear.

But the punch missed.

The moment Rito threw his punch, Bone Mound changed direction, moving like a ghost to Rito's left, his right bone blade drawing a silver-white arc.

puff!

The sound of bone blades piercing flesh echoed in the waiting area.

The five bone blades pierced through Li Ren's thighs with precision, entering through the skin of his left leg and exiting from the other side.

Fresh blood dripped down the white bone blade, splattering on the ground.

"I told you, it's not fast enough." Bonezuka's voice rang in Rito's ears.

With a flick of his wrist, the five bone blades spun inside Li Ren's thigh, tearing at his muscles and blood vessels.

The intense pain shot straight to the person's brain like a bolt of lightning.

But he just clenched his teeth tightly and didn't scream.

"What a tough guy. If it were an ordinary person, they would have screamed by now, right?" Bone Mound said.

He prepared to draw the bone blade and deliver the final blow.

But at that moment!

Rito suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed Bone Mound's forearm.

Bone Mound was slightly taken aback.

He glanced down at Rito's hand, then looked up into Rito's eyes: "What? Still trying to fight back?"

"hehe!"

Liren didn't answer, only let out a soft laugh.

"You just said... my space to dodge was blocked?"

The smile on Bone Tomb's face froze for a moment.

Just then, the cursed power suddenly erupted from the injured spot on Rito's thigh.

The cursed power spread outwards from the wound, and the moment it came into contact with the bone mound and bone blade, an extremely low temperature began to spread upwards along the bone blade.

click-

A faint cracking sound.

Bone Mound lowered his head and saw white frost flowers beginning to appear at the base of his bone blade, with fine cracks spreading outwards from the point of contact.

"This is--"

His pupils suddenly contracted.

However, to his even greater surprise, Rito did not back down.

Instead, the rational person took a step forward.

The wound on his right leg, pierced by the bone blade, was torn open with this step, and blood gushed out, but he seemed to feel no pain.

He forcefully used his injured leg to block the direction in which the bone blade was growing.

Bone Mound tried to pull out the bone blade, but found himself bound by the force that was blocking it, unable to pull it back.

"You bastard!"

A flash of anger crossed Bone Tomb's eyes as he swung his other hand, the bone blade on the side of his arm sweeping across.

But Liren did not dodge.

He turned his body slightly, letting the bone blades graz his back, tearing his school uniform and skin, but failing to pierce any vital organs.

The next second, Rito's right hand had already grabbed Boneszuka's left index finger.

The surface of that finger was covered with a thin layer of bone, as hard as iron, when the spell was activated.

But Liren's hand gripped it like an iron clamp.

"you......"

Before the sound of the bone mound had even faded, a crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

Click.

His left index finger was forcibly broken off by the man.

The bone blades, no longer supported by the fingers, fell off one by one, landing on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Bone Mound let out a piercing scream and staggered back a few steps.

To his surprise, Rito not only did not run away, but instead took the initiative to grab the finger that he used to activate the spell.

Moreover, the low-temperature curse power had already seeped into his body through the wound, slowing down his reaction speed by a beat.

This single shot has become the key to victory or defeat.

The reasoning did not stop.

He gripped the ring finger of the bone mound with his left hand, and there was another snap.

Then the middle finger.

Click!

Click!

Click!

The continuous cracking of bones echoed through the waiting area, each sound sending chills down one's spine.

The five fingers on Bone Mound's left hand were broken off one by one by Rito.

White bone fragments pierced the skin, and blood dripped down the fingers, leaving the hands a bloody mess.

Bone Mound knelt on both knees, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat mixed with blood sliding down his face.

He raised his head and looked at Rihito, his eyes no longer filled with contempt, but with disbelief and shock.

"You...you..."

"You are no match for me," Rito said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his right fist, imbued with cursed power, slammed into the chest of the bone mound.

flutter!

The fist pierced through his chest.

The sound of ribs cracking echoed in the air as a fist pierced through the back of the bone mound.

The bone mound's body froze.

He lowered his head, looking at the fist-sized hole in his chest, opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he only coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His body slowly leaned forward and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The waiting area was completely silent.

Tsuchimikado Jin's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The dagger in the kimono-clad woman's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and she stood frozen in place like a stone statue.

The expression on the face of the burly man with the missing arm froze completely.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but could only utter hoarse "uh uh" sounds, his eyes filled with terror and despair.

At this moment, the announcement on the screen lit up:

[Kill confirmed!]

Player "Liren" successfully killed player "Guzhong".

[Points change: 100 + 1280 = 1380]

Current ranking: 7st

Total kills: 1

Blood-red text flashed on the screen, like a judgment decree, announcing the end of this battle.

Rito withdrew his fist, looking calmly at the corpse in the bone mound lying on the ground.

He glanced down at the wound on his right leg; blood was still flowing, but it wasn't fatal.

He raised his hand, sealed the wound with his magic, and then looked up at Tsuchimikado Jin and the burly man.

"Now, you can answer my question."
