Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

"But what's with this awful smell... a corpse?"

Emiya, who had followed Kiritsugu to many disaster-stricken areas, was quite familiar with this smell, the smell of human death.

Emiya, standing still, first analyzed the sudden smell beside him before tentatively approaching the other party and asking, "Tell me what your mission is first, then I can consider whether to move aside."

"What? So you're not here to reclaim your finger?"

The naked man put his hands behind his head, looking very distressed.

"Finger? Sorry, if you mean Sukuna's finger, I'm afraid this place will be closed to the public."

Emiya could already roughly determine that the other party was in cahoots with the cursed spirits that had invaded the high school not long ago. Therefore, because of this, he couldn't let the other party find the finger as he wished, and he couldn't even let him leave.

It was such an unfortunate coincidence to run into him. This guy might have really not checked the almanac before going out.

"So, I have to get rid of you, right?"

"Alright, alright. Even though this is a battle outside of the mission, I'll let you know that it was me who killed you—alright, alright."

The guy posed on the spot in a very showy manner, not realizing that his words once again gave Emiya crucial information.

"Bad phase... [Nine Phases of Cursed Fetus Diagram]?"

Volume 1: Chapter 121 [The Ultimate Corrosion and Decay Technique] - [Wing King]!

[Nine Phases of Cursed Fetus Diagram], one of the special-grade cursed items stored in the [Ji Ku] that was lost by the high school a few days ago.

According to the records in the high school, the body of this cursed object is an experimental product created by Kamo Kento, who is known as the "most evil sorcerer in history."

At that time, he accidentally discovered a woman who could give birth to offspring with a cursed spirit. After a series of cruel operations, he created the Nine Phase Diagrams from one to nine, which were nine hybrids of cursed spirits and humans.

Swelling, decay, blood, pus, blue, edible, scattered, bone, burning...

The changes in the human body at various stages after death are the different names of the Nine Phases Diagram.

Simply put, the swelling phase is the first sign of death: swelling, forming what we now call gigantism. The decay phase is when the flesh begins to rot and necrotize. The bloody phase is when internal organs rupture and bleed, oozing out of the body...

As the decay continues, the corpse will gradually deviate from its original human appearance until it completely turns into a pile of bones.

The original "Nine Phases Diagram" was meant to allow people to understand the cycle of life and death and cut off their seven emotions and six desires by watching the process of a corpse decaying. When greed and desire are eliminated and karma is wiped out, they will naturally be able to attain enlightenment.

As for why Kamo Kento created the [Cursed Fetus Nine Phases Diagram] one hundred and fifty years ago, the senior officer had no idea, and all related information had been destroyed as a stain on the three major families.

Due to the special features of their bodies, the nine hybrids were bound and became special cursed objects in order to preserve their lives at birth. Numbers one to three stolen by the cursed spirits were the bloated, the bad and the bloodstained.

Now the person who claims to be the bad-looking one is standing in front of Emiya. Does that mean that he has succeeded in taking on a body like Sukuna did?

The only difference is that not everyone can become a perfect container like Yuji Itadori.

Bad Phase was already standing here, and Bloating Phase and Bloody Phase must have also been successfully incarnated. If we consider the worst-case scenario, each of them might be of special grade.

"Oh? So you know about us brothers."

Hearing Emiya call out the name of the Nine Phases, the Bad Phase stuck out his tongue and gently licked his thumb, saying, "Then you should know that we brothers are united as one. Ordinary sorcerers cannot challenge us."

"Just leave now as soon as possible. Our mission is just to get to the point where your fingers are pointing."

Kind? There's no need to use such a harsh word to describe it.

From a bad perspective, he was just a newborn who had just been conceived, that is, he was born not long ago.

As a hybrid of a cursed spirit and a human, he didn't necessarily possess the evil nature of a cursed spirit, nor could he be considered kind. He simply followed the agreement he had with those who awakened him.

Of course he can do something like killing people, but no one asked or asked him to do such a thing, so why bother?

"It is precisely because I know this that it is even more impossible for me to give way."

"If I quickly get rid of you here, maybe I can go over there and see how the students perform..."

When he said this, Emiya was suddenly stunned.

"The barrier... has disappeared?"

"So my students have already dealt with the special-grade cursed spirit inside? That's quite impressive."

Of course, Emiya has great confidence in his students.

Especially after they all became proficient in the weapons he was given, according to Shirou's inference, probably everyone of them already possessed abilities that were no less powerful than the finger curse spirit in the juvenile detention center.

Things like curse power can't grow that fast, but in real combat, this isn't the only indicator that matters.

Even if Yuji Itadori was just holding the door panel sword, he was enough to give the finger curse spirit a hard time, not to mention that Itadori had already mastered the technique of [Black Flash] while fighting side by side with Aoi Todou?

This talent is indeed terrifying, but Emiya has also worked very hard to be surpassed by his own students...all he lacks now is an opportunity.

"In that case, I can't continue wasting time here with you."

The man opposite, the evil-looking one, naturally noticed the barrier breaking and the cursed energy gushing out of his fingers at the same moment. He faced Emiya and began to retreat, hopping back and forth.

"......"

"What, this kind of action?"

Of course, Emiya wouldn't let this guy leave and cause trouble for his students, but this weird action was really hilarious.

"My back is my inferiority complex. I'm warning you, if you look at my back, I'll definitely kill you..."

boom--!

Before Huaixiang could finish his words, a big hole suddenly appeared in the rock wall behind him. Then, Yuji Itadori, holding a big sword, rushed out of the hole, chasing a cursed spirit, and at the same time saw Huaixiang's back.

"Ah, Emiya-sensei?"

"Ah, Onii-chan?"

Both guys looked not very smart and had no idea what kind of trouble they had just caused.

Bad-looking's body had even begun to twist in extreme anger.

"you you you......"

“You saw it, right!!!”

The sound that came out in the end was not from the head in the human sense of the word "bad-looking", but from his back.

The meaning of "bad appearance" is a corpse that has begun to rot and necrotize. The front of the body still looks normal, but the back has already decayed and looks like a pile of rotten flesh.

And these piles of rotten flesh strangely formed the shape of a face.

"Who is this? I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry, Onii-chan, I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to do that!"

The two guys apologized quite quickly, but unfortunately, the angry Bad Face didn't appreciate it at all.

"Kill you!!!"

He turned around angrily and was about to take action, but seemed to have completely forgotten that Emiya was still behind him.

Emiya took a step forward and kicked the rotten back, then he couldn't help but frown.

"Is this the source of the corpse stench? It's really awful."

The most important reason why humans find the smell of corpses unbearable and disgusting is not the sense of smell, but the fear of the corpses of their own kind is engraved in human genes.

Just as insects release different pheromones when faced with different situations, the stench of human corpses has a similar function.

If you smell the stench of a fellow creature's corpse, it means there is a life-threatening danger nearby and you need to escape immediately... This is an instinct engraved in human genes.

"You are unforgivable...!"

"[Corrosion and Decay Technique - Extreme]——[Wing King]!!"

As Bad-Look's body began to twist itself, countless blood began to spurt out from the eyes on his back, forming a pair of twisted bright red wings behind him.

"Sting you to death!!"

The first target of the evil face was Emiya, who was closest to him.

You don't need to be reminded by others that blood with a foul smell is something that must never be touched. Its harmfulness lies in its unexpected corrosiveness.

It can corrode a large hole in the ground in an instant, not to mention that this blood catalyst is a special attack on flesh and blood.

Although they were made of blood only, and their symbolism was obviously greater than their practicality, their speed of destruction still increased explosively.

He kicked towards Emiya, but it was just a feint to divert attention because the wings behind him were faster and more flexible.

The blood condensed into spikes and quickly pierced towards Emiya's body.

"Trace on!"

Emiya projected Gan Jiang Moye and easily blocked the several streams of blood that were attacking him, while Yuji Itadori, who was also attacked on the other side, was even more relaxed than him.

The guy just held the door-like big sword in front of him, and all the attacks from the front were blocked.

The blood has a corrosive effect, but whether it is the sword in Emiya's hand or the greatsword in Itadori's hand, they are not at a level that can be destroyed at will by this corrosive effect.

"Tsk...are you so difficult?!"

The unexpected bad guy who appeared in the sneak attack immediately curled up his body, and countless lines and spikes made of blood began to flow out from his back frantically, forming an impenetrable grid that continuously stabbed in all directions.

Both Emiya and Itadori began to retreat under the cover of this attack, and soon they were separated by a large distance from each other.

But it doesn't matter. If these are the only means of attack of the opponent, Emiya has so many ways to deal with the opponent that even Itadori alone may not be defeated.

Thinking of this, Emiya immediately swung the sword in his hand.

boom--!

The collapse of the illusion temporarily blocked the blood attack, and Emiya took advantage of this gap to move closer to Itadori.

"I'll help you hold off that younger brother. Do you have the confidence to defeat the older brother over there?"

Whether in terms of strength or intelligence, the younger brother is clearly far inferior to the older brother. But if the two of them were combined, they might have some special tricks.

Bad Face might be stronger than the obvious Itadori, but it's limited, so Emiya wants to try to train him.

"I'm totally fine, Emiya-sensei!"

Compared to when he could only use his fists, Yuji who now wields a greatsword has more courage and confidence.

This kind of thing is also a very important part of combat.

"Then let me take care of my brother first, and then I'll keep an eye on you to prevent any accidents... No, it seems like an accident has already happened."

"What's wrong, Mr. Emiya?" Yuji Itadori looked at Emiya in confusion, whose expression suddenly became more serious.

"The number of enemies has increased again. There are two of them this time."

Emiya turned his head and looked deeper into the canyon.

"Is it a curse master?"

Volume 1: Chapter 122 Come on, Zen Temple!!!

As Emiya finished speaking, two figures, one tall and one short, gradually appeared in the shadows.

A man who looked like a gangster was walking in front, and an old witch wearing a haori and holding long Buddhist beads was following closely behind him. It was obvious that the former was the latter's subordinate.

The reason why Emiya was able to sense the arrival of the two one step ahead was mainly because the witch did not hide the cursed power in her body at all.

Even after revealing his true form, the ripples of cursed energy covering the surface of his body were still clearly visible.

"Did you complete the preparations for the technique before you chose to expose yourself?"

"Such caution, is it some kind of high-intensity spell with complicated steps, or is it..."

Because everyone's [innate skills] will vary greatly due to individual differences, some extremely special skills may appear.

Just like Gojo Satoru's [Unlimited Technique] requires the [Six Eyes] as a prerequisite for use, some extremely powerful techniques require complicated prerequisites and conditions before they can be used, just like the Backlight Sword also requires the opponent to use the trump card first.

In addition to the powerful spells, auxiliary spells like those of Kyoto School's teacher An Utahime also require many prerequisite spells to be achieved. This was something Emiya learned after that exchange meeting.

But no matter what kind of [Life Technique] the two curse masters in front of him used, it would be difficult for Emiya to interrupt the technique that had already been activated.

"Onii-chan, didn't you say that this mission was for us brothers to complete? Why is this old woman here too?"

As the younger brother, Xue Tu perfectly inherited the good qualities of Bad Face. In a few words, he revealed his relationship with the curse masters, although this did not require too many reminders.

The old witch who was gently turning the Buddhist beads did not pay any attention to the two brothers. Instead, she looked at Emiya with a clear purpose.

"Do you remember the curse master you killed over a month ago, the guy named Awashaka Jiro?"

"Awasaka Eryang?"
