Chapter 46: Special Grade Cursed Spirit

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Hahaha… Kill you all!"

Hidan swung his blood-stained scythe with broad, sweeping motions, pinning the approaching lizard monsters to the ground.

He was in an extreme state of excitement!

Though he didn't know where these monsters came from, occasionally changing the offerings and presenting a new batch to the evil god was quite enjoyable.

After slaying the last lizard monster, Hidan set his sights on an entrance not far ahead.

He could sense that there were even more delicious offerings waiting for him inside.

Grasping his Triple-Bladed Scythe firmly, he entered without hesitation.

Such precious offerings, he had to be the first to present them to the evil god!

However, as soon as Hidan stepped through the entrance, the sight inside stunned him.

Twisting and turning, the cave system seemed to spiral and interweave endlessly.

How could this be?

From the outside, this type of terrain was impossible!

Moreover…

Looking back, Hidan discovered that the entrance he had used was now silent and had vanished, replaced by a hard stone wall.

Such a strange situation was enough to make anyone anxious.

But Hidan, relying on his [Immortal Body], didn't take it too seriously and continued forward fearlessly.

As he walked, Hidan quickly lost track of where he was.

Everything around him seemed identical.

He couldn't even find the path he had taken.

Hidan frowned and cursed under his breath.

Since he was already lost, it was better to stay put and deal with whatever came.

He believed the monsters would eventually show themselves.

Moreover…

That bastard would eventually come looking for him.

Even though he didn't actually need it.

Hidan snorted disdainfully in his mind.

Minutes passed, and the surroundings remained eerily quiet.

Suddenly, Hidan's expression changed!

Because the Triple-Bladed Scythe he had placed beside him… was gone?!

Although he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, he was actually alert to any movements around him.

Yet he had no idea when or how his weapon had disappeared!

Hidan immediately stood up, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Then, suddenly, his body stiffened.

A pale face with only a mouth and four eyes on its forehead appeared in his peripheral vision, standing less than half a meter away!

"When did this happen?!"

Hidan gritted his teeth and, without a second thought, slid a retractable black spear from his sleeve and aimed it fiercely at the monster in his peripheral vision.

But...

With a thud and a clatter!

Hidan's right forearm was severed, along with the black spear he was holding, falling to the ground.

"So fast!"

Ignoring the pain from his severed arm and the wound, Hidan quickly leapt back to create distance.

The monster in front of him had just exerted tremendous pressure.

The terrifying speed that was hard to track with the naked eye and the terrifying strength that could easily break his arm were overwhelming.

What kind of monster is this?!

Hidan increasingly felt that this world was becoming incomprehensible.

Yet, in that dazed moment, he lost sight of the enemy again.

In the next moment, a powerful force struck!

With a loud bang.

Hidan was thrown backward, crashing through a solid, thick wall, and continued to roll for more than ten meters before barely coming to a stop.

"Ugh…"

Struggling to stand, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

Aside from other injuries, that last hit had at least broken five of his ribs!

"Damn it!"

"I will kill you and offer you to the evil god!"

Hidan angrily stood up again, his eyes filled with intense fury.

The next second, the Blood-Stained March Scythe, spinning at high speed, rapidly enlarged before his eyes.

Boom!

...

"Where did that guy Hidan run off to?"

Shinsuke was killing monsters and accumulating points while searching for Hidan's whereabouts.

Just recently, he realized he couldn't get free Cursed Soul Points from Hidan anymore, which gave him a bad premonition.

He was more inclined to believe that Hidan had run into trouble, and it was extremely tricky trouble!

Fortunately, the noise they made tonight was quite significant, and Hidan's distinctive appearance made it memorable, so after inquiring with some people, Shinsuke finally arrived at the area where Hidan last disappeared.

"The battle traces here are still fresh, and the kind of damage that can be caused is undoubtedly from his scythe. It seems Hidan recently fought with a Cursed Spirit here…"

Shinsuke examined the surroundings and quickly confirmed that Hidan had been here.

He then rapidly investigated and, without much effort, found the ominous entrance.

"If nothing else, that idiot Hidan should have ventured alone into the true lair of the Cursed Spirit." Shinsuke muttered in frustration.

He knew that if Hidan had stayed put and waited for him, he wouldn't have been Hidan.

"Hope there's still a chance to collect this idiot's corpse. Once the bond points reach a thousand, I'll take the reward and then shred you and feed you to the sharks, damn it!"

Grumbling, Shinsuke took out the cursed item [Perfect Perfume] and buried it at the entrance.

After completing this, he shouldered his blade, sighed, and stepped inside.

As Shinsuke's figure vanished instantly, a strand of black hair broke through the ground, sensing the surrounding situation like a radar…

The moment Shinsuke stepped in, he was immediately shocked by the scene before him!

"This is… a cursed domain?!"

"No, wait!"

"This is just a pseudo-domain created by forcibly interfering with reality using immense cursed power."

"But being able to do this... without a doubt!"

"There's definitely a [Special Grade Cursed Spirit] here!"

After making this judgment, Shinsuke looked back, and sure enough, the entrance he had come through had vanished.

He could now confirm that Hidan's situation was definitely dire!

When the cursed spirit reaches the special grade, it is a completely different concept!

A [Special Grade Cursed Spirit] could easily slaughter dozens of [Level 1 Cursed Spirits].

Even more terrifying is that the difference in strength between special grade cursed spirits can sometimes be even more significant than that between level 1 and special grade!

Shinsuke vaguely remembered that a certain King of Curses once said: "You are a special grade because your strength has reached special grade, but I am special grade because that is the highest grade."
