10 Curses Everywhere (Edited)
Here we are, back to where Ryūhave been, an innate domain.
"F*ck!"
He barely dodged from an attack from behind as he was busy taking care of the curse in front of him. Luckily, he received no wound aside from his clothes being teared a little due the sharp claws of these cursed spirits in the form of rat-like creatures with one eye.
"How the heck did you guys get out of [Full-Time Magister]?" He said as he dodged another rat an sliced it into two.
"Tch! It seems like pest control is needed right now." He muttered as he quickly used ❲Third Form: Flowing Dance❳ to quickly get rid a dozen of them in a quick succession.
After dealing with those grade 2 curses, he started to track the scent he caught along with the girls' scents. No, he's not a pervert to smell girls without reason. Also, he can't really turn his great smell off as it is always active like his innate ability.
Although, he can just prioritize the girls first, it is much more better to finish it quickly.
Running around and taking turn after turn in a maze-like innate domain, he met a lot of rats on the way and he quickly destroyed them with just one form if they are in group, or plain slice and dice of mice.
He took a turn, "Oh, sh*t. Here we go again!"
❲4th Form: Striking Tide❳ on a group of 7 rats. He took a turn, he dodged by jumping and used ❲Eighth Form: Waterfall Jar❳ and diced 'em mice.
Running through the halls, he turned to the right and was jumped upon by another mouse that he tried to exorcised but he missed and only sliced its hind legs, which also sprayed green liquid that seems to be their blood.
"Ah, sh*t. Now I'm dirtied by a rodent's blood." He sai to himself as he dodged another rodent without even need to look as he smell their incoming attack.
Yes, aside from him being able to see the ❲Opening Thread❳, he can also see the ❲Danger Line❳, which is a red line that was connected to where that danger was going at. An example earlier is that he knew a danger line is going for his neck, thus he was able to dodge an attack that could have scarred his neck, probably.
After trying to track the scent of a strong cursed spirit, he decided to take a few minutes of rest. While it may seem he doesn't care about the girls who were swallowed accidentally by the innate domain, he is actually brains and brute. He needed all the strength he could muster if it is really special-grade cursed spirit.
After 5-minute rest and supplying his whole body with oxygen to restore his lost stamina even if it is just small.
Soon, he continued running at the speed of a car at 100 kilometers per hour without even using the full power of ❲Total Concentration❳, quickly dealing with these sh*tty pests as he met them. While he is getting near, he heard a faint sound.
"...k!"
Getting closer.
"...ck!"
Going even closer.
"...uck!"
And soon he arrived.
"Yuck!" That got you thinking that this person is cussing, right?
Anyway, he arrived where she is surrounded ny rats. When he arrived, he saw small mice and a huge rat.
Seeing that he is quite far and he thinks that he might not reach there in time, which he could, he decided to use what his Denki-jiji-sensei taught him. I know, it's long. Taking a stance, his hands on both scabbard and the handle of his weapon.
❲Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash — Fourfold❳
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
He quickly passed through all the mice surrounding the young woman using four straight dash by using the way to use four lines to pass through all 9 dots.
After he saved the young woman who seems to be 16 years old.
"Can you stand up properly?" He asked the girl.
"I can walk perfectly fine, it's just that my legs gave out at tose disgusting creatures." She replied.
"Sorry about this." He said before sweeping her off her feet.
"Eh?" Then, Ryū sped up to that of a car. "Eh?!"
Ryū ran away from the rats and quickly outran them. Then, he put her down slowly on the ground before he put up his newly made barrier. A barrier that could block anything that are above normal amount of cursed energy and could block up to the same level as the one who casted this technique. This barrier is his own veil that is strong enough to either trap or as a defensive barrier. He called it ❲Iron Wall❳ as it is very tough but it will still break depending on how much powerful the attack or how many it is.
When he finished putting up the translucent barrier, he questioned her. "Where are the other girls with you?"
"They left me where the big rat is." She answered.
Ryū's expression darkened when he heard that, but quickly change it into a smile. "What's your name?"
"You can call me Saori-chan." She stated, not knowing Ryūs age since his face is covered by his mask, and he also have a height of 5'5" even if he's still 13.
The girl stood at 5-foot, making Ryū half taller than her despite his age. Height of women in Japan averages at 5'1", so this kind of height for women.
Hearing that her nae is Saori, he wanted to tell her his name but a bunch of rat curses appeared along with the Rat King.
But before he left her, he gave her a discount coupon of all her orders and will be discounted by 20%, which is a huge discount if you bought a lot. What caught her attention was the bakery. It was the bakery she liked to buy breads at as they taste very good. Then, she suddenly remembered 2 friends of hers.
[Insert any song here if you want. When I was writing the battle, I am playing Kaikai Kitan.]
Meanwhile, Ryū had cleared the place of any more one-eyed rats and is now looking at a gigantic dirty rat. All in all, it was a very disgusting cursed spirit and its smell didn't escape Ryū's nose.
He ran forward, and so does the Rat King.
The Rat King, let's call him Xander, used its claws to slice up Ryū, only for the latter to dodge the said attack by jumping over it.
As soon as Ryū landed on its hand, or so it seems, he ran forward while also making sure that he's not forgetting about its other hand or its tail. As soon as he made it halfway, he dodged a claw attack from its left hand. Seeing that it will be a pain, he decided to cut its other hand off, only to caught a smell of the Danger Line, which he fortunately dodged by forcing his upper body to move backward in order not to get hit by its tail.
He quickly jumped back a few times to widen the gap using the 9th form of water breathing style.
"It has three appendages to use to attack. I need to, at least, make it think that I am aiming for its-" before he could finish his planning, he was assaulted by Xander the Rat King.
Ryū got swiped away and sustained a wound on his hip, which is not very deep, but still a wound. He managed to block almost all of its claws and one of them managed to wound him on the hip.
Ryū stood up and prepared for an attack, only to get blasted away using a very powerful cursed energy through its roar to blast him away. He stood up ones again and he quickly managed to dodge an incoming attack at the last second that came from its eyes as if it was laser beam.
Then, Xander the Rat used its tail to sweep him once again. However, that won't work on Ryū who have Water Breathing Style that highly focuses on being fluid, adaptability, stability, and its pitiful force of water reaching the shore to a devastating Tsunami caused by an earthquake that toppled over Japan, at Sendai to be more exact.
Ryū dodged with ❲Ninth Form: Water Flow Splash❳ to quickly dodge by minimizing the landing time and area, greatly increasing speed and is very adaptable to any type of terrain, be it a box, a cylinder, or even a steep mountain.
After jumping up just right before it hits, his katana was already sheathed as he is in a iaido stance. Just when the tail was right in front of him, in a flash, the tail was sliced off cleanly while having his katana in his scabbard as if it never left.
'By concentrating oxygen on both my arms and eyes, it allowed me to highly enhance my hand-eye coordinations to the point it is an instinct for me to slice anything that my eyes considers as a threat or a target. Adding my ability to see the ❲Opening Thread❳, my precision is at a level where I would never miss or time it wrong.'
His attack is so fast that you can't even see that he whipped the blood off the blade, if there is any just to be sure, and sheathing it back. A normal person would only see a flash, or even anyone around grade 1 sorcerers
The tail of Xander being cut off made it growl in pain. Seeing that it was busy with the pain, he quickly focused his breathing style on one strong move as he also covered his katana with his cursed energy as he does most of the time. Though, he never used cursed energy during when he was drawing his sword and only imbued it after his blade got out of the scabbard earlier. It wasn't even the 1st form of Thunder Breathing. (Just like when Zen'itsu fell asleep.)
❲Total Concentrated - Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux❳
He rushed towards the side and made a lot of rotations before he jumped forward towards it and spun around mid-air and then slammed his blade down, causing the dragon that followed his rotating movements to dive down to the Rat King called Xander to have its head bitten by the blue water dragon with beautiful emerald green eyes.
After the attack landed on the Rat King and continued down to the ground, it created a huge splash as if a cannonball was dropped down into the see from more than 10-storey building.
"Phew! That took more time than I expected." Then he quickly ran towards where Saori was as the domain is slowly disappearing.
Once he got to her, he dispelled the barrier and got her out of the street. He even dropped her off on her home by carrying her in bridal carry while running through building to building while making splashing noises. No, don't be lewd when you hear the word splashing sound, humph!
