How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

Emerald green eyes lit up with fluorescent light, and with the support of cold spiritual power, every inch of this humanoid cursed spirit could be clearly seen. Beneath its genderless and non-human appearance, there was only a chaotic mass of cursed power that outlined the shape of human internal organs and bones.

However, this guy's stomach and throat were stuffed full of densely packed, dried fish-like things...

Miss Fox's pupils suddenly contracted!

Upon closer inspection, they were all humans! Compressed humans!

It's unclear what method this humanoid cursed spirit used, but the compressed humans didn't die; they were still conscious, emitting faint groans from its stomach and throat!

"You bastard, just how many humans have you harmed?!"

"Huh?" The humanoid spirit exclaimed in surprise, its attention momentarily drawn to the fox lady—

Click!

Nanami Kento seized the opportunity with great shrewdness, using a technique to break through the curse's defenses and sever the humanoid curse spirit's wrist along with the bone, leaving only a bit of skin attached.

There was no fluid oozing from the wound; only the bone and muscle tissue inside were exposed.

The humanoid cursed spirit was stunned.

"Should I use my magical power to catch it? Is this the kind of technique?" With its two eyes turning in different directions and its hand still partially attached to its arm swaying, the humanoid spirit chatted as if nothing had happened.

"And that lady over there, did she see something on me?"

"This kind of thing?" Nanami Kento frowned. Cursed spirits also feel pain when they are injured, and they also spray out liquids that cannot be red.

But the humanoid cursed spirit in front of us had nothing; inside the severed wrist, there was only bone and muscle tissue, no fluid.

In other words, the blow did not actually injure it.

"I hate abstract questions that are simply thrown at the other person."

Nanami Kento glanced at Miss Fox without leaving a trace, and Miss Fox shook her head at him.

In Miss Fox's eyes, Nanami Kento's attack had no effect; the cursed power within the humanoid cursed spirit remained intact, and its wrist was not broken.

Visually, the severed wrist looked like a torn, detached glove, being tossed around by the humanoid cursed spirit.

The specific reason is unknown due to insufficient information.

"Until we find the cause, ordinary attacks will probably be ineffective against it," Miss Fox cautioned.

"Hey, that lady over there really does have some special ability; she can actually see!"

The humanoid spirit cast an interested glance at Miss Fox, its excited expression as if it had seen a rare treasure. "You clearly don't have any magical power at all, so tell me, what abilities do you possess?"

"No, it's too difficult to explain, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you, so I refuse." Miss Fox replied irritably, her gaze fixed on the humanoid cursed spirit's stomach.

"Oh, I see. I really don't want to understand anything too complicated..."

The humanoid cursed spirit let out a affected sigh, but quickly changed its expression, deliberately placing its hand on its stomach—

"So, what do you guys think, which came first, the soul or the body?"

Chapter 518 But I'm having a great time

Which came first, the soul or the body?

Miss Fox was puzzled for a moment, but quickly realized that the humanoid spirit was explaining the principles behind its abilities.

The soul and the body must be the key elements of that technique.

“Think about it, isn’t there that kind of question, which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

The humanoid spirit spread its hands, "Is the body a vessel for the soul, or is the soul enveloping the body?"

"The former...?" Miss Fox asked tentatively.

According to Miss Fox's understanding, the body houses the soul. After all, at her current level, her soul is already very powerful and can even leave her body. At the same time, she can clearly see the soul condition of ordinary people whenever she wants.

With the aid of spiritual observation, the soul and body are completely and tightly joined together, and there is no question of any inhabitant or envelopment.

But Miss Fox can shrink the volume of her soul and even change its shape, like playing with clay. In contrast, an ordinary person's soul fills the entire body evenly, and whatever defect appears in the body, the soul will take that shape. Therefore, it is believed to be the former.

but...

"Since you've asked that, it must be the latter, right?"

It's normal that different worlds have different rules and different settings for people in different worlds.

She belongs to the type where the soul resides in the body. It is also normal for people in this world to have their souls enveloping their bodies. Moreover, the explanation of the humanoid curse spirit clearly indicates that the principles of the spell are related to the soul.

"Wow, this young lady is quite extraordinary. You guessed right, it's a soul encasing a body~"

The humanoid cursed spirit raised the hand that Nanami Kento had severed. The muscles were writhing, and the severed parts were reattached. The torn glove was put back on by the humanoid cursed spirit.

No, according to the theory of this humanoid cursed spirit, it should have wrapped its hands back in the gloves.

"Whether it's appropriate or not, the soul is before the body, and the shape of the body is influenced by the soul. This is not healing; it's just about firmly maintaining the shape of your soul."

The humanoid curse spirit took out a compressed alien human. In its hand, the human, compressed to the size of a palm, slowly deformed and swelled.

"You should understand now. The principle behind my technique is to contact the soul and change its shape."

"Transformation through non-action".

The human in the hands of the humanoid cursed spirit rapidly swelled, expanding back to the size of a normal person into a dark green alien with sunken eye sockets, making the eyeballs completely invisible. It also quickly lost its life. Miss Fox could clearly see that the person's soul dissipated in the form of the alien, turning into specks of light that fell to the earth and finally disappeared.

I'm finally free.

The humanoid spirit continued to produce two compressed, brown human figures, each about the thickness of a finger, and said with a smile, "I've stored humans."

"This is actually quite difficult. Usually, three people will die very quickly after their shape is changed. I wonder what will happen if a spellcaster does it?"

Elf Leap.

A straightforward dash skill that closes the distance, instantly smashing through the humanoid cursed spirit and then kneeing it in the face with a wall made by humans.

The humanoid cursed spirit seemed completely unconcerned about being attacked by Miss Fox. It could have blocked the knee strike, but instead of raising its hand, it took the blow head-on, even though half of its face was dented.

"You're very brave! You know about the power of non-action and yet you still willingly come to it!"

Her hand grasped her calf, and Miss Fox keenly felt her soul being captured through her body.

So, the soul filling the leg shrank upwards, pulled out the mortal bone, and stabbed it into the bewildered humanoid cursed spirit—

Armor-piercing impact!

The powerful shockwave shattered the humanoid cursed spirit's head, and a large number of the compressed humans stored in its throat were also blown out.

But the humanoid cursed spirit was not dead; a new head quickly grew back on its neck.

"Huh? You can actually control your own soul." "Enough with the nonsense."

The furious charge closed the distance again, but this time it dodged the attack, narrowly missing it.

In an instant! Miss Fox suddenly emitted a golden-brown light, and her body, as if in a frame out of time, turned around and slammed her shield into the face of the humanoid cursed spirit!

*Snap!* Sword and Shield Assault! COMBO x1

Elf Knight, also known as Dance Knight, is a unique yet extremely niche class in pixel-art side-scrolling adventure and simulation games that other developers never imagined would survive for over a decade when the game first launched.

The reason this class is called the Dance Knight is because of the combos that come with leveling up and having more skills.

Fatal Thrust - Sword and Shield Assault - Guardian Deer - Sword and Shield Assault - Wheel of Destruction - Sword and Shield Assault - Divine Tree Strike - Sword and Shield Assault - Natural Binding - Sword and Shield Assault - One Slash in Two - Sword and Shield Assault - Hurricane Spinner - Sword and Shield Assault...

COMBO×2,×3,×4,×5

One skill after another slammed into the face of the humanoid cursed spirit. Often, before the effect of the previous skill had even finished, the burst of golden-brown light would interrupt the previous skill. Accompanied by a shield slap, the next skill would seamlessly follow. There were frame gaps in between, with no transition process. It was as if several people were overlapping in one position, attacking a single target with a 0.5-second interval, creating the illusion of one person unleashing three pairs of arms.

The process was dazzling, like a strange dance performance. Nanami Kento was stunned, holding his blunt knife but unable to find an opportunity to strike.

As Miss Fox's skills are forced to end their animation and then she unleashes a barrage of sword and shield attacks, the damage of the next skill is continuously accumulated until the x6 stage, at which point the damage will nearly double!

Finally, I will naturally use a high-damage skill to finish it off. Before I reach level 70 and have learned Sword and Shield Assault, the strongest skill is naturally the three-hit combo I just learned, the level 45 skill, Heavenly Meteor Sky Slash!

Miss Fox slashed the mangled humanoid spirit high into the air with her sword, then leaped up herself, leaving the ground and rising to the sewer ceiling with her enemy!

Pfft!

A horizontal slash! The waist of the humanoid cursed spirit was severed by the mortal bone, and the compressed humans stored in its stomach fell out, turning into various shapes and squeezing onto Miss Fox, but it was completely useless!

Even if the shape changes, the material composition remains the same. The flesh and bones of an ordinary person are not even enough to tickle Miss Fox; a single burst of spiritual energy sends them all flying away!

And then the final blow!

He gripped the knife with both hands and chopped down on the humanoid cursed spirit's head!

The final strike of the three-pronged attack! Heavenly Meteor Sky-Splitting Slash!

boom--!!!

He knelt down, causing a huge commotion in the sewers. Even with deliberate restraint, this section of the city's sewers was successfully destroyed, leaving the ceiling gone and allowing the sun to shine through.

Several unlucky passersby fell down.

"Oh my, you're really strong, Miss. You're just as good as Gojo Satoru, aren't you?"

The humanoid cursed spirit, now naked and covered in dust, struggled to get up from the pit at Miss Fox's feet, while recovering from its injuries.

But you seem to—

Before it could finish speaking, the blade of the mortal bone pierced its mouth, broke its spine, and pinned it to the ground. A mouthful of liquid that wasn't red immediately spurted out, landing on the ground and quickly evaporating.

The humanoid cursed spirit's expression changed drastically; the previous series of attacks hadn't been as damaging as this single strike! Its cursed power suddenly surged violently!

But he was kicked down!

It was even stronger than its curse power; the spiritual energy, solidified into a tangible form, adhered to the high heel, directly suppressing the restless curse power of the cursed spirit!

Miss Fox bent down, bringing her face close to the eyes of the humanoid cursed spirit, and suddenly revealed a big smile!

"Even though the damage was zero, I'm having a great time. Is there a problem?"

-

Chapter 519 Miss Fox: I want you to cooperate with me on a small experiment involving a cursed spirit.

He stomped hard on the humanoid cursed spirit whose spine was already broken, and the metal heel easily crushed a liquid that couldn't be red on its body.

The humanoid cursed spirit struggled desperately, but with its mouth pierced, its head nailed to the ground, and its legs pinned down by the ruins of the sewer, it was utterly powerless to resist.

She could only passively endure Miss Fox's repeated trampling and be tortured little by little.

Although each strike and kick doesn't inflict much damage, it does cause real pain, and the curse power simply can't withstand it.
