Curse Reply: After choosing Nawa, the cursed spirit cursed me for being cruel.

The real man rolled over and stood up, covering his half-shattered face, staring intently at Hisahito Itadori, who was covered in blood but whose eyes were more determined than ever before.

The black flash he had been longing for was actually obtained by someone else.

"He looks like he's about to die, but he can still move."

Haddō didn't answer, but silently assumed a fighting stance.

He wants revenge.

He was prepared to endure all the pain, to carry those who had died with him, and to move forward.

Dongtang walked over to Huzhang and tore off the last piece of clothing he was wearing, his vest. "Welcome back, brother."

Itachi nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the man. "Thank you."

Chapter 292 The Target is the Strongest Cursed Spirit

Meanwhile, they are searching for the "sword and arrow" (likely referring to a type of ancient Chinese artifact).

Following Rika's real-time guidance from the Federation headquarters, the two were heading at full speed toward an area with abnormal curse power.

Rika's voice came through the communicator, tinged with urgency: "Based on the analysis of the cursed energy fluctuations, there are two anomalies within the Shibuya area. Todo and Itadori are already at one of them... Yuta, you guessed it, right? The opponent there is the last of the Calamity Cursed Spirits."

Otsuku Yuta darted quickly between the buildings, nodding: "Master, the enemy at that other anomaly point must be Ryougi Shu!"

"Yuta, we're only one kilometer away from another anomaly. Be careful!"

No sooner had Rika's warning fallen than a massive ice wall rose up from behind Yuta without warning, instantly blocking his escape route.

You suddenly stopped and looked back at the ice wall.

Maki stayed behind him to keep watch; she didn't follow.

"Maki, are you alright!" he hurriedly called out towards the ice wall.

Maki's voice came from the other side of the ice wall. She didn't sound injured, but her tone was more wary: "Yigu, I'm fine. You go first, there are enemies here."

She stood on the other side of the ice wall, gripping her long sword tightly, her gaze fixed on the figure slowly emerging from the shadows. She recognized the person before her.

During the battle in Shibuya, this white-haired woman (?) was held hostage by Teacher Duanmu with one hand, and was later knocked unconscious by a punch.

Although the other person looked disheveled after being knocked unconscious by the teacher, Maki did not underestimate her.

Anyone who can withstand a single blow from Teacher Duanmu without dying must be at least a first-level sorcerer.

Yigu Youtai stopped in his tracks, his voice filled with hesitation: "What, then I'll..."

"Stop being so wishy-washy, I'm all you need here!" Maki's angry roar came from the other side of the ice wall, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Don't forget why we're here! Your opponent is that woman with stitches in her hair, not this one over here! And do you think I'm weak? Get out of here!"

You Tai remained silent for a moment.

He looked at the ice wall and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then he raised his head, his eyes becoming completely resolute, without the slightest hesitation: "Phew~ I understand."

Rika's voice came through the communicator again, this time with a more serious tone: "Yuta, now is definitely not the time to hesitate. The total amount of psychic power at the other anomaly point is constantly increasing, and it's already approaching your total psychic power!"

Upon hearing this, You Tai suddenly accelerated, his entire body transforming into a blur as he sprinted toward his destination.

Is his total spell power about the same as his...? That's really troublesome.

Anomaly point number two.

If you ignored the terrifying, almost tangible, magical power emanating from her, you might actually think she was just a leisurely woman.

She sensed the fluctuations of magical energy emanating from the ground in the distance, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips: "Ah~ The real person is about to awaken. I'll soon have the last piece of the puzzle."

She raised her hand, and four small balls of different colors appeared in the air above her palm, each ball emanating a chilling aura of magical power.

If you look closely, you can even see blurry faces on these small spheres; those are the faces of the four Calamity Curse Spirits who should have been dead.

The faces of Louhu, Yaoji, and Tuogen, who were all killed in the Shibuya Incident, as well as Hana, who was personally killed by Duanmu Yan more than ten years ago, are all faintly visible in these small spheres.

These four calamity-inducing cursed spirits were none other than the [unclear text - possibly a typo or incomplete sentence].

With her brain-transfer technique, she can possess up to three techniques simultaneously. This means that after switching to Kaori Itadori's body, she can also imprint the locations of two additional techniques into her brain.

One is the gravity spell that this body originally possessed.

What is the other one? Spirit Mastery, a lower-level alternative to Spirit Manipulation, allows control over multiple spirits, but it cannot compare to true Spirit Manipulation in terms of quantity and precision.

But that's enough.

She intends to use the complete version of the transformation of non-action, which is about to awaken in a real person, to merge the souls of the four calamity curse spirits together: lava, nature, hurricane, ocean, plus the pure malice between humans.

By combining these five distinct curse essences into one, the strongest super curse spirit in history was forged.

That's when things will really get lively.

Thinking of this, [he]...

As an ancient monster who has lived for over a thousand years, her motivation for doing all this has always been the same: to have fun.

Reviving Su Nuo was for fun, as was reviving those ancient sorcerers, planning the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and even this painstaking effort to collect and fuse the souls of four Calamity Cursed Spirits—all of it was simply to find more exciting and unpredictable fun.

"Hahaha... Don't make me get too excited."

She suddenly felt a cursed force approaching her at an extremely fast speed.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

"There are still audience members? That's great."

She tilted her head, a hint of anticipation appearing on Kaori Itadori's gentle face. "Then let's consider this the last game... Let me play with you, Yuta Otsuko."

Otsuyuta held his sword across his chest, his gaze calm. "Although I don't know what you're planning, I'll kill you right here."

"Then you should give it a try." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

……

The real man's head bounced on the ground several times after being hit by that black flash before he stopped. He rolled over and stood up, took out two heavy hammers that the cyborgs had turned into, and carried them on his shoulders. He tilted his head and looked at Itadori Yuujin, who was covered in blood but had a firm look in his eyes.

"Seriously... why can't you just die peacefully?"

The three clashed again. The real man wielded his two heavy hammers with great force, each strike leaving a deep crater in the ground. However, the coordination between Itachi and Todo was gradually improving.

Dongtang's clapping and position-shifting caused Zhenren's attacks to repeatedly miss, while Huzhang would deliver a heavy punch to Zhenren after each position-shifting.

The real person was overwhelmed by the combined attack of the two and was knocked back several steps, crashing into the tunnel wall.

But he did not lose heart.

If he can unleash another Black Flash... if he can touch the essence of the soul again, he will surely be able to turn the tide of the battle.

Just a little bit more, just the last little bit more.

Chapter 293 Pressure on Yourself

Just then, Todo grabbed Itachi's arm and used the force of the rotation to throw him high into the air.

Tiger Staff adjusted his posture in mid-air, his right fist filled with magical power, and used the force of gravity to slam into the real person.

The enormous impact pierced through the ground, blasting the real person along with the shattered concrete into the underground pipe space.

The moment he landed, he quickly concealed himself using the complex and interwoven structure of the pipes, disappearing into the darkness.

Before Dongtang could follow and before Tiger Staff could pinpoint his location, he immediately split into two clones and attacked Tiger Staff from both sides.

The two real men transformed their outermost arms into sharp giant axes and simultaneously cleaved at Itadori.

The crisp sound of clapping echoed through the pipes.

The wutong tree disappeared, replaced by a flying pebble.

Todo and Itajō use positional switching to deal with the clones of the real person in the narrow pipe. Each positional switching is accompanied by a heavy punch from Itajō or a flying kick from Todo, and the real person also constantly changes form to deal with them.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate in the pipeline.

The man pressed his back against the cold pipe wall, quickly assessing the situation before him.

Yuujin Itadori suffered severe damage to his soul from its black flash, and his remaining soul essence is definitely no more than 20%.

The other guy clapping had almost no injuries, and his soul should still be at full strength.

He still had about 40% of his soul remaining.

According to the typical mindset of a cursed spirit, with their health bar already reduced to less than half and another troublesome opponent capable of directly attacking the soul present, the best option would be to find a way to retreat.

But... that's the thinking of a useless person.

He intends to end these two people within the last remaining remnants of their souls.

That jerk clapping is so annoying, I have to get rid of him first.

The real man slammed his palms together. Countless cyborgs surged out from the depths of the pipe, intertwining, merging, and stretching together, instantly forming a cyborg train tens of meters long, its gaping maw large enough to swallow the entire tunnel as it rolled towards the two of them.

Huzhang and Dongtang exchanged a glance, then turned and ran deeper into the tunnel.

The modified train roared past the two men, separating them on either side of the platform.

The real man flipped off the top of the train, already holding several cyborgs in his hands. He transformed them into several sharp swords and hurled them fiercely at Dongtang, who was running ahead.

Once he gets rid of this clapping bastard, he can toy with Hisahito Itadori at will.

He sped toward Dongtang, stepping on the train wreckage. Two cyborgs flanked him from both sides, transforming into large swords to block Dongtang's movement. At the same time, his abdomen split open, and a brand new arm suddenly stretched out from the center of his torso.

The moment this hand touches Dongtang, Wuwei Transformation can instantly crush his soul.

But Dongtang twisted his body through the gap where the blade was pressing down, spinning in the air to avoid the blade while simultaneously kicking Zhenren hard in the face, sending him flying.

At that moment, Huzhang also rushed over, and the instant Dongtang landed, he noticed the pebbles scattered at his feet.

He bent down to pick up a pebble, exchanged a glance with Huzhang, and the two of them simultaneously gave each other a knowing smile.

"Brother!" Dongtang placed the pebble in Huzhang's palm, and Huzhang immediately understood.

The powerful spell instantly enveloped the pebble, and Tiger Staff threw it forcefully.

The immense force gave the stone unparalleled speed, and the stone sparked dazzlingly as it rubbed against the air.
