Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

Blue sparks exploded, and the thing finally collapsed.

But more monsters emerged from all directions.

One, five, ten...

Fukuro Megumi glanced at them, his face darkening. The number of these monsters far exceeded his expectations.

He gritted his teeth and continued forming hand seals: "Jade Dog - Hun".

The black dog's size increased dramatically, its fur bristled, and it roared as it charged into the monster horde.

The geese circled in the air, seizing the opportunity to swoop down and kill.

But there are too many of these monsters, and they are impossible to kill. You have to destroy their entire bodies or shatter their cores in their chests to eliminate them.

Not long after, Fukuro Megumi was panting heavily, sweat mixed with dust streaming down his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.

It's not fear, it's exhaustion.

He was only fourteen years old, and his physical strength was not very strong to begin with. He couldn't last long in this kind of high-intensity battle.

A monster lunged at him from the side, and he managed to parry it, but was then struck in the back by another one.

He staggered forward a few steps and almost fell.

With their escape route blocked, their stamina and mana depleted, the summoned shikigami were also gradually losing their strength.

There is no way out.

Fushiguro Megumi quickly made a decision.

He clasped his hands together in front of him, interlacing his fingers tightly, and recited resolutely:

"Burube, Yura Yura..."

Chapter 29 Plague

"The Eight-Handed Sword, from Another World..."

The last incantation of Fushiguro Megumi was still in his throat when a sharp, tearing sound suddenly exploded from behind him.

Several bolts of lightning, like arrows, shot from a hundred meters away, grazed Fu Hei Hui's side, and struck the monsters closest to him with pinpoint accuracy.

Blue lightning clung to the monster's body, emitting a hissing sound, while black smoke slowly rose, and its skin instantly turned yellowish-brown, as if it had been roasted by fire.

Upon seeing this, Fukuro Megumi immediately stopped the spell and turned her head sharply.

In the distance, a figure was rushing towards them.

Blue lightning crackled around him, leaving afterimages in its wake. Wherever it passed, the ground exploded with tiny arcs of electricity, sending debris flying.

In the blink of an eye, the man had rushed to Fu Hei Hui's side.

A black, fitted outfit with a stand-up collar and Chinese knotted buttons; the hem of the garment fluttered as he sped along.

He carried two knives at his waist, one long and one short, with hilts that were black and brown respectively.

Before Fu Hei Hui could speak, the man had already stopped beside him, and a shallow crater had been blasted into the ground beneath his feet by lightning.

The lightning gradually subsided, revealing its true form.

The person who arrived was none other than Haruhi Yuuto. He had run all the way and finally caught up, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to explain himself to Gojo Satoru.

If I had been just a few seconds later, that brat Fukuro Megumi would have summoned the Demon Void.

Yu Ren glanced around and saw that although the monsters struck by the lightning spell were charred, none of them were completely dead.

Instead, they became restless and surrounded the two of them, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

He then looked at Fushiguro Megumi. His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in sweat and dust, his magical aura was so weak as to be almost imperceptible, and his hands were still trembling slightly.

Fushiguro Megumi is clearly almost completely drained.

"Yuuto in springtime." Yuuto simply gave his name and then spoke.

"Gojo Satoru sent me to keep an eye on you, why are you so late and show up early?"

Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment, then frowned: "I didn't..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yuuto interrupted him, his gaze returning to the charging monsters, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Step back, move aside, protect yourself, and don't get in my way."

Fushiguro Megumi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but feeling that her cursed power was already depleted, she gritted her teeth and retreated behind Yuuto.

Yuuto gripped the hilts of the Shadow Strike and the Falling Water Sword with both hands, and with his left hand, he first drew the kodachi and dropped it into the water.

The blade is shorter than a regular katana, and the blade pattern has a dark blue hue.

His right hand followed immediately by drawing the Shadow Strike, a blade two inches longer than a regular katana, heavy in the hand, with a black cloth strip wrapped around the hilt.

With his twin swords drawn, Yuuto instantly assumed the starting stance of the Niten Ichiryu style.

Stand firmly on both feet, right hand flicks forward, left hand falls into the water and rests horizontally at the waist.

He activated the Thunder Magic simultaneously, and blue arcs of electricity exploded from his body, first strengthening his physical body, and then wrapping around the two swords along his arms.

The blade crackled with electricity as it struck the water, and the blade itself emitted a faint blue glow as it fell into the water.

Finally, the Golden Light Mantra was activated, and a pale golden light membrane covered the entire body, from the shoulders to the waist and then to the legs, protecting it completely.

The monsters rushed in from all directions, their grayish-brown skin gleaming metallically in the moonlight, their eyes blood-red, and white breath spewing from their mouths.

They are extremely fast, but without any strategy, attacking and biting based solely on instinct.

Yuu remained motionless, quietly waiting for them to rush towards him.

The first one pounced in front of me, and I unleashed a horizontal slash.

The moment the blade pierced the monster's neck, lightning magic erupted, sending the monster's head flying off at an angle, but its body still managed to lunge forward two steps before collapsing to the ground.

But it was still not dead; its headless body was still twitching, and its limbs were scratching wildly.

Yuuto shifted his feet to the right, his left hand falling into the water to parry upwards, blocking the other monster's claws.

The lightning clinging to the blade caused black smoke to billow from the monster's arm.

With a flick of his right hand, he simultaneously slashed upwards, the tip of his blade plunging deep into the monster's chest.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of metal being pierced.

The monster finally stopped moving.

Yuuto drew his sword, took a half-step back, and created distance.

He had already identified the monsters' weakness—their core in their chests.

Only by hitting the core can they be killed; otherwise, any attack is pointless.

It's not that I can't beat them, it's that I'm afraid I can't kill them.

Yuuto adjusted his breathing, and the way his internal magical energy circulated suddenly switched.

Thunder magic fully activated!

Blue arcs of electricity exploded from his body, spreading along the ground and forming a lightning field with a diameter of five meters.

The monsters at the front were electrocuted and their bodies convulsed, their movements instantly slowed down.

Yuuto charged into the monster horde, unleashing a burst of magical power with his right hand in a shadow strike, cleaving a monster in the shoulder and splitting its chest open.

The moment the blue core was exposed, the left hand plunged into the water and then stabbed out.

Two Heavens One Style - Interlaced Slash.

The magical power of the twin blades collided and exploded inside the wound.

The monster froze for a moment, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The second one pounced, but Yuuto dodged to the side and unleashed a horizontal slash.

Niten Ichi-ryu: Kaze no Tachi.

The cursed power was compressed into a blade of wind, which was flung out from the tip of the blade and slashed into the waist and abdomen of another monster a meter away.

Two-Day Style - Consecutive Flash Slashes.

Yuuto alternates between his two swords, unleashing a rapid series of slashes.

With his left hand, he parried a monster's claws into the water, lightning striking it until it stiffened, while his right hand simultaneously stabbed another monster in the chest with a shadow strike.

With a swift draw of his sword, he turned and unleashed a devastating strike, slicing off half of another monster's head.

Seconds later, severed limbs, heads, and internal organs were scattered all over the ground around Yuuto.

Yuuto sheathed his sword and stood still, panting heavily.

The lightning gradually subsided, and the Golden Light Mantra also dissipated.

He looked down at his surroundings. The ground was littered with pieces of flesh, severed bodies, and scraggly heads. The stench of blood was pungent, and the scene was indistinguishable from a real corpse.

wrong.

Yu Ren frowned, a growing unease rising in his heart.

Normally, after the cursed spirit is removed, the corpse will dissipate directly, turning into black smoke.

This is common knowledge in the world of sorcery.

But the corpses of these things were perfectly preserved, with a pungent, bloody smell, and looked exactly like real human corpses.

System prompts kept popping up in my mind.

Infected?

Not a cursed spirit?

Yu Ren was taken aback, his face showing astonishment, and a thought of disbelief involuntarily popped into his mind.
