Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

Let them fight, just stand there and let them fight.

If you can break through the defense, you'll lose.

The functions of the Shuangquan Hand are roughly to repair the physical body, reshape the meridians, and transform the soul.

The essence of the Heavenly Curse is the extreme deviation between the physical body and the curse power. As long as the body and soul are adjusted, it should be resolved.

Chapter 57 Five Thunder Binding Talisman

After a short rest, Yuuto, Aoi Toudou, and Kaiki Maru quickly made arrangements after a brief discussion.

Because the puppet's parts are currently damaged and it is unable to engage in high-intensity combat, the mechanical maru is responsible for taking care of the more seriously injured Nishimiya Momo.

Then Yuuto and Toudou Aoi, carrying communication devices provided by the Machine Maru and powered by cursed energy, hunted down the giants Kabane in the vicinity.

Yu Ren and Dong Tang walked side by side westward for about ten minutes when a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.

Upon hearing the sound, Yuuto and Toudou Aoi exchanged a glance and then sped forward together.

Turning the corner, the view suddenly opened up.

A giant Kabane was slowly moving at the end of the street, its form unlike any of the others they had encountered before.

Its body is like a small hill, without arms, or rather, its arms have degenerated into two short fleshy stumps on its chest.

Instead, his shoulders and back were covered with a dense mass of head-sized growths, each one pulsating slightly, like a heartbeat.

The giant's mouth was wide open, and a thick, tubular object protruded from deep within its throat, stuck into the ground like a straw, as it devoured something.

Thirty meters in front of the giant, three figures were running desperately towards them.

There were two men and one woman. One of them was limping as he ran and was being supported by the other two.

Behind them followed seven or eight ordinary Kabane, their gray-brown figures moving swiftly through the ruins.

"Help, help me..."

The female sorcerer running at the front saw Yuuto and Toudou, and her voice changed.

Yuuto glanced at the magical energy fluctuations emanating from the three people; they were all at level two.

At this level, there should be more people deployed, but there are only so few, which means that everyone else has already been killed in action.

"Dongtang, save them." Youren placed his hand on the hilt of his sword: "You take the smaller ones, I'll handle the larger ones."

Dongtang has already rushed out.

In a few leaps, he rushed in front of the three men, punching the Kabane chasing in the lead, sending it flying, and then smashing the head of the other one with an elbow.

"Take them away." Dongtang said to the female sorcerer without turning his head, and then rushed into the Kabane horde.

The three of them scrambled backward, and as they passed Yuuto, the lame one tried to say something, but Yuuto waved him off, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, head east, our people are there."

The three nodded and continued running, supporting each other.

Yuuto turned his gaze back to the front.

The giant remained in the same spot, the tubular object on its chest emerging from the ground and slowly retracting into its throat.

The throbbing of those tumors increased in frequency, and some even began to ooze fluid, which dripped onto the ground with a hissing sound.

"This thing can release poison?" Yuuto frowned.

The giant seemed to sense something and turned its entire body towards Yuuto.

The tumors stopped throbbing at the same time, then suddenly swelled up, and dozens of streams of black liquid gushed out from the tumors, shooting towards Youren like arrows.

Yuuto dodged to the side, and Toudou, having already dealt with the ordinary Kabane, circled around from the side.

He glanced at the lumps on the giant's body that were still spurting fluid, and clicked his tongue: "These things are hard to get close to."

Yuuto looked at the monster before him and was unwilling to delay any longer.

The plague has gone undetected for so long; it cannot be delayed any longer. It must be completely eradicated no matter what, and he plans to resolve it swiftly.

After giving a few instructions to Higashido Aoi, Yuuto took a few steps back and used his fingertips as a pen and his incantation power as ink to quickly outline on the talisman paper.

The talisman head is written first, followed by the three auspicious characters, and then three cloud-shaped seal characters are written in one go, representing the decrees of the Three Pure Ones.

The talisman continued downwards, and five thunder patterns unfolded from under his fingers: the eastern azure thunder lock, the southern crimson thunder strike, the western golden thunder shackle, the northern black thunder water prison, and finally the central yellow thunder seal. The five thunder patterns converged on the talisman paper.

The Demon-Binding Lock-shaped seal script landed in the center of the thunder pattern, and with a turn of the brush, the taboo characters of the five marshals of the Thunder Department were embedded in sequence.

The brushstrokes ended with the characters for "Imperial Edict" and were finally sealed with the Thunder Seal.

Tongtianlu·Five Thunder Binding Demon Talisman

It originated from the core talismanic techniques of the Shenxiao School during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, belonging to the branch of the Five Thunder Great Method, and is one of its signature talismans.

It belongs to the high-level talisman, and even with Youren's current control over the Tongtian Talisman, he is not able to draw it quickly, let alone mass-produce it.

It had already been lost in the original timeline of Under One Person. The reason Yuuto was able to control it was because he obtained the bonus ability when he exchanged for the Tongtian Talisman.

It took Yuuto a full twenty seconds to draw a single talisman.

This wouldn't be much under normal circumstances, but twenty seconds is a long time on the battlefield.

Dongtang stood in front of him, occasionally rushing out to attract the giant's attention, drawing the black liquid columns toward himself, and then dodging them with his speed.

"Not done yet?" Dongtang dodged the two jets of liquid with a backflip and landed with a breath of air.

"Alright." Yuuto tucked the two talismans between his fingers and stepped out from behind the cover.

The giant sensed his magical energy fluctuations, and all the tumors turned towards him simultaneously, a new round of energy buildup already underway.

Youren didn't dodge. He held the talisman in his right hand and started walking, preparing to chant a spell.

Given the power of the Tongtianlu, no preparation was needed; it was only to maximize its power that Yuuto made this choice.

"I, by the decree of the Jade Purity Emperor, the mighty Five Thunder Gods... I, by the decree of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, command the Five Thunder Gods to bind the demons! So be it!"

As soon as the incantation was finished, the talisman was released from his hand, spinning in the air as it flew toward the giant and landed precisely on his chest.

Then, five-colored lightning locks shot out from the talisman, with five bolts of lightning—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—intertwining into a net that locked the giant's entire upper body.

The giant Kabane's jets were interrupted, and the lumps were deformed by the lightning locks. The liquid inside had nowhere to go and exploded directly inside the lumps.

Yuuto pressed his hands down sharply, and the lightning lock tightened at the same time.

The giant Kabane was instantly crushed to the ground, his torso marked with charred lines, and his lumps burst open one after another.

Yu Ren strode forward, channeling all his lightning magic into his longsword, and plunged it into the man's chest.

At the same time, the five lightning locks broke off from the talisman, and all the lightning power surged into the body along the blade, then reached the core, directly shattering it.

After its core was destroyed, the giant's body began to disintegrate from its chest, turning into fragments.

Just as Yuuto sheathed his sword and was about to rest for a while, a sudden change occurred.

An extremely strong surge of magical energy is rapidly approaching.

Higashido Aoi, who was standing nearby, also noticed this and looked ahead with a serious expression:

"Trouble is brewing!"

Before the words were finished, a figure slowly emerged from the ruins.

The rubble and debris automatically parted at his feet; this was a typical oppressive feeling created by the leakage of magical power, pushing the fragments away.

The newcomer had her black hair tied in a high ponytail, with wispy strands falling across her forehead, covering half of it.

His face was handsome, but his skin was unnaturally pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun in a long time.

She was wearing a light blue haori, the style of which looked like it had stepped out of an old painting from a hundred years ago.

He wore a black, tight-fitting combat suit underneath, and a long sword was slung across his waist, with dark blue-green demon face runes engraved on the scabbard.

He stopped and stood on a pile of gravel twenty meters away.

A suture line runs along the forehead, from the left hairline all the way to above the right eyebrow.

As shown

He is a Valkyrie from the End of the World, as mentioned earlier in this book. In addition, I, the True Lord, have thoughtfully provided him with a stitch.

Chapter 58 Okita Souji

At this moment, Yuuto looked at the man in front of him, dressed in ancient costume, with a sword at his waist, a seam on his head, and a deep smile on his face.

I feel like there's a giant hand controlling my life; otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?

This distinctive facial feature, with sutures on his forehead, is something he would only have if he weren't... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly).

At this time, the fish was pregnant and twisted.

This annoying young man in front of me has not only made great progress, but has also acquired some strange and wonderful abilities.

But now, in the past, the situation was still very complex and uncertain. The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources, and lacks coherent sentences. A meaningful translation is not possible without further context or clarification.

This body, named Okita Souji, is the strongest corpse he has acquired in a thousand years.

Okita Souji, a genius swordsman of the Natural Rishin-ryu style, and captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi.

Born with a cursed constitution, he went berserk in his childhood and killed the cursed spirit. However, his terrifying appearance when out of control led his relatives and fellow villagers to regard him as a monster and completely shun him.

Later, the sorcerer Kondo Isami found him and took him in.

He joined the Shieikan during his youth and his talent in sorcery and swordsmanship was unparalleled among his peers.

The main family of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school once summoned him back to Edo to inherit the family tradition, but he refused and insisted on following Kondo to Kyoto to form the Shinsengumi, which specializes in exorcising cursed spirits and rogue sorcerers who caused trouble at the end of the Edo period.

In his youth, his cursed constitution fully awakened. This unique combination of heaven and earth brought about a terrifying amplification.

The cost is that the heart is under tremendous pressure and the internal organs are continuously depleted, thus sowing the seeds of tuberculosis.

In a key battle of the Shinsengumi, Okita Souji activated his Demon Child Mode, sweeping through the enemy ranks with the Demon Child Binding Technique.

After the war, he collapsed from coughing up blood on the battlefield due to overexertion and was diagnosed with debilitating pulmonary tuberculosis.

From then on, his body began to decline, and he could no longer maintain the form of the Demon Child for long periods of time.

After that, he coughed up blood every time he used the Japanese forces, but he still insisted on fighting.
