As the month progress my daily routine was consists of training, hand to hand combat and weapon i also practicing cursed energy, on the other hand the progress of my cursed energy manipulation have improved, over the past month I can now freely control any curse spirit below grade 1, and I can now manipulate their intire body meaning I can destroy them and create a new curse spirit anytime I want, with this I am now fully prepared
"Alright, with this I'm now all set, now then the question is how am I supposed to this, how do I sommun them without Kyle knowing it, hmmm"
As I pondered about how to do this an idea pops out,
'How about I tell him that I want to go to different places in Africa under the pretext of exorcising, hmm, that could work, alright it's decided then'
After that I hurriedly went to the living room where Kyle reside
"Hey, Kyle I need to tell you something"
"What's that, and why are you such in a hurry"
As I calm my self I then prepared myself for what's coming
"The truth is I want to go exorcising curse spirit in different places so that I could gain more experience and fight different types of curses, this well serve as a lesson too, since not only I am fighting different types of curses, I'm also fighting a curse spirit who might have special abilities, so what do you think"
After I spoke, the room went silent and only the sound of the television can be heard, after a minute or so, Kyle then proceed to talk
"So, in other words you want to exorcise curses in different place so that you could gain more experience"
"Yes, that's right"
"Hmmm, alright I'll allow it under one condition"
"And what's that"
"You must be careful and do not underestimate your opponent understand"
"Alright Kyle"
After getting permission I then went to my room and grab my solid strike cleaver. after years of using solid strike cleaver and pouring it with cursed energy everyday. and Kyle also said the other day when we were training that the solid strike cleavers durability is now on the level of a special grade and he said it has the potential to compete with any special grade tool, which is very cool knowing I'm the reason why it became this strong, after I grabbed my weapon I then head down stairs
"Oh, you're going with only your weapon?, don't you need clothes and bag?"
As I was heading to the door Kyle saw me and ask about the things that I should brought, as I was perplexed by this, Kyle then proceed to tell me about his past
"You know back in my days whenever I went to different places or go camping I always brought everything, including my house"
"Huh?"
As I was thinking about how the hail do you brought your house in a camping, I then proceed to ask Kyle
"Well, why do I need to brought so many things, if I can just comeback here anytime I want"
"Ohh, I see well you are fast after all why I didn't think of that hahahah, well goodluck ichiro and be safe out there"
"Yeah, I'll be going now"
After I bid farewell I then poured my intire body with cursed energy both the inside and the outside and run across, places to places finding a good spot, after 30 minutes of running and looking I then come across a wide area with no people
"Hmm, this place is good enough alright then"
As I prepare myself I then chant the name of my first shikigami
"Dream demon, reveal to me, Guide me to the world of dreams. Feast upon the souls slumbering on dream pillows, come forth BAKU"
(A/N As I was making this, I realized that by calling them just through their names is a bit boring so I put some chant with it so that It could sound cooler
After my chant my shadow then enlarge and inside the shadow came out a creature with a body parts of different animals it has the head of an elephant, the body of a bear, the feet of a tiger, the eyes of a rhinoceros, and the tail of an ox
'Hmm, that's a weird combination but it's cool on its own right, now then how should I tamed it, should I do it the easy way or the hard way'
As I was thinking on what methods should I use to tame it, out of nowhere a long claw suddenly appeared before me ready to draw my blood but due to my years of training I easily evade it
"Whoa, that was close"
'in contrast to it's size this thing can move well, it's speed is probably below Kyle, which means this will be a walk in the park,
as I prepare myself to attack, the Baku then backed away, and out of nowhere it suddenly stand on his hind legs and started to roar, as I was watching this my Intire body tensed up, and my instincts telling me to stop it no matter what, and in response to my instincts I quickly dashed to where Baku is standing and quickly draw my sword, but to my shock it was block by another sword
"How"
As I take a few step back I finally saw a silhouette of a person holding a giant katana
'a samurai? How... A Curse spirit? But I didn't sense anyone besides the two of us so how....'
As question came flooding through my head waiting to be answered the samurai then dashed at me swinging the sword horizontally, and in response I tried to block it with my weapon but to my surprised the samurai's katana easily went through my weapon and into my body, causing me to bleed out profusely, as I was kneeling on the ground I tried to kick the samurai but once again I was surprised that my foot went through it, I then jump back to gain more space between us after that I quickly heal myself
'few, thank God I had this ability, and what's with that samurai how can my attack easily pass through him while his attacks aren't, what's going on'
As I was observing the samurai my gaze suddenly fell to the shikigami I summoned,
'It's been standing there doing nothi- '
As if I was hit by a truck, everything became clear
"So you're the one who summoned it, no wonder it just appeared out of nowhere and It also explain why I didn't sense him"
'Fine then, if I can't attack it, I'll just have to attack you instead,
