Chapter 29 : The Curse Spirit Appears

[Wheel of Time: Turn]

Genichi kicked the wooden door leading to the corridor and smashed it. Passing through the wood fragments hanging in the air, Genichi came to the place where the screams came from. The breath of the cursed spirit also reached its strongest level.

After breaking the door again and stepping into the room, a strange scene came into view: a tattooed man holding a dagger was kneeling on the ground in front of two corpses, with a strange mixture of excitement and fear on his face.

On the other side was a huge, grotesque monster that had the most presence in the entire room. It looked like a square piece of meat, with a huge eye split vertically on the front.

The dark red pupils were like insects sealed in amber, but Genichi could feel its gaze shift toward him.

The powerful cursed spirit did not have limbs in the normal sense. Instead, it extended two enlarged human-shaped arms from both sides to support the ground. The downward side of its body was a large, toothless, cracked mouth. Apart from that, there were different numbers of eyes on its six sides that were restlessly spinning around. It looked like a strange dice.

At this moment, it was swallowing half of the corpse, and there was blood splattering in the air, stagnating and splashing, forming a distorted picture.

Without any hesitation, Genichi released the spell and instantly injected the cursed energy into the technique.

[Wheel of Time: Reverse]

The target was the ordinary people who were killed. When Genichi reversed the technique and placed it on the target, he felt a strong obstacle: the cursed spirit's main source of cursed energy, which was the three ordinary people who were swallowed by the cursed spirit.

This involved the existence of what was most likely a special-grade cursed spirit. It was like a long-washed reef in a river, blocking the way there, making the technique [Wheel of Time: Reverse] even more difficult. Not only was the cursed energy drastically consumed, but Genichi's head also began to ache.

In a flash, Genichi felt a headache, and blood seemed to slide down his lips. At the same time, the effect of his spell [Wheel of Time: Reversal] was forcibly interrupted. The three women and one man in the room looked dazed, with expressions of extreme fear still on their faces.

After they saw the scene clearly, their brains could not process the situation for a while. Only when they saw the tattooed man standing there in a daze with the bloody dagger in his hand did they fall to the ground in horror.

"What.... What happened?"

The tattooed man's memory still remained at the time when he personally offered the five sacrifices to God, but why were there still four people alive? He looked at the dagger in his hand and fell into confusion, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Genichi, whose nose was bleeding.

"It must be you! It's you who ruined the sacrifice to the 'God.' I will sacrifice you to the 'God' as well!"

The man rushed towards Genichi, waving a dagger, but Genichi, who had just wiped the blood from his nose, did not pay much attention to him. Most of his attention was on the cursed spirit that was starting to go crazy and was staring at him.

As for the tattooed man, when he rushed in front of Genichi and was about to pierce his neck with the raised blade, Genichi suddenly kicked him, and the tattooed man's figure blurred and stuck to the wall ten meters away. He smashed a big hole in the wall and sprayed a "blood rain" in the air, but strangely, he did not die and slid to the ground dying.

"Genichi!"

When Nanami arrived, he saw the existence of the cursed spirit as soon as he came in. The powerful aura made him subconsciously tighten the weapon in his hand, and he entered the combat state in an instant.

"Nanami-senpai, please send those four people out first."

Genichi said with his back to Nanami while facing the dice curse spirit crawling towards him quickly. Nanami also made a quick decision and pulled up a woman who was too frightened and mentally collapsed, and then shouted to the other three: "Follow me!"

[Wheel of Time: Quick Slash!]

The body of the dice curse spirit suddenly split into several holes like cloth, and the sprayed black blood dyed most of Genichi's clothes, but at the same time, the ordinary cursed sword in Genichi's hand also shattered.

In order to break through the defense of this cursed spirit, Genichi had input too much cursed energy, and coupled with multiple slashes at the same time, the cursed weapon could not hold on after all.

As the Dice Cursed Spirit howled in pain, the eye on the front of its head suddenly emitted a dark gray light. In an instant, it condensed into a column as thick as a bucket, flashing through the air and leaving behind a burning breath.

Although this attack was swift, it couldn't hit Genichi. The cursed spirit's eyes suddenly turned behind it, and a man stood with a raised fist burning with surging curse energy. The next moment, all the movements disappeared from sight.

One punch, two punches.

[Black Flash] was triggered!

Then, the spell [Wheel of Time: Reverse] is used and turned itself around. The Dice Curse Spirit that had just been hit and flew by the burst of powerful force once again stopped all its movements in the eyes of Genichi.

Second time-[Black Flash]!

The black curse power wave, like a fierce electric snake, fell on the largest eye in the middle, like a marble rotten by water. Genichi's punch smashed the eye, but it was not over yet. Genichi uses [Wheel of Time: Reverse] again!

With the discomfort that had already surged, Genichi reversed himself again. The fierce black light on the front of his fist seemed to be roaring, and the open "bloody mouth" bit towards the wound of the cursed spirit's blasted eye.

Third time-[Black Flash]!

The spell was lifted, and the body of the Dice Curse Spirit flying in the air suddenly trembled violently. Then, a large amount of liquid burst out like a cannonball, smashing the wall behind it. Looking at the hole filled with smoke and dust, it has already flown outside the building.

"What is that? Is this what the 'Supreme God' looks like? Did I see the 'Supreme God' with my own eyes?"

The tattooed man lying on the ground dying seemed to have seen the existence of the cursed spirit at this moment and revealed an expression of joy in a trance. Then, he was covered by a black shadow.

The cursed spirit looking down at him had dark red hair stained with blood. His clothes, stained with large patches of unknown blood, made this cursed spirit with a disfigured face look like a ghost, making the people look at it fearful.

"Fucking bastard..."

Genichi stretched out his hand to pick up the man, then walked out along the hole that was created. The cursed spirit had already struggled to get up from the ground, and its originally somewhat deformed body began to recover rapidly. Even the single eye that Genichi smashed began to grow. The scene was very bizarre for a moment.

At this moment of his death, the tattooed man finally saw the full picture of the 'Supreme God' in his heart. The overly terrifying appearance temporarily overshadowed his pious heart, and he was unsure whether it was true or false. Especially when those strange eyes stared at him, it seemed like an inexplicable voice was talking and wailing in his ears.

"Um...? Interesting"

Genichi was surprised to see that the Dice Curse Spirit's recovery speed had increased significantly, and its aura had become unreasonably stronger. Was it the effect of its spell?

"It's fear!"

Nanami walked over and said this. Upon hearing this, Genichi looked down at the tattooed man who he had thrown on the ground. He, who had a look of fear just now, now looked unusually calm. His eyes had all kinds of emotions when he looked at the cursed spirit, but the only thing missing was the fear he had just felt.

Genichi narrowed his eyes and seemed to think: "Nanami-senpai, what do you mean by the spell of this cursed spirit? Can it absorb fear and turn it into its own power?"

Curses are originally born out of negative emotions. Still, suppose this curse can actively absorb the existing fear emotions. In that case, it means that under certain circumstances, this cursed spirit will be extremely terrifying.

It is already of special grade. If it faces an opponent who has even a trace of fear toward itself, it can absorb that fear and make itself stronger, thus achieving a snowball effect: It becomes stronger, the opponent becomes more fearful, and then it becomes stronger again!

Maybe there is an upper limit, but before that, it might be enough for it to grow to a terrifying level. Maybe it was born in this hellish place and absorbed the fear of its victims to grow to where it is now?

Genichi's thoughts raced in his mind, and then he moved his feet, hooked up the tattooed man, and threw him towards the cursed spirit. The other party did not distinguish between companions and enemies. To it, the tattooed man was just another food that would make convenient food for it. Now that it was inexplicably injured, it stretched out a hand in anger, grabbed the tattooed man, and then squeezed him into a deflated object like squeezing a sponge.

Nanami, on the side, loosened his tie and said nothing. He had seen the tattooed man's previous behavior. Although a sorcerer could not kill ordinary people casually, otherwise he would be investigated and even judged as a curse user, but at the moment, wasn't it the cursed spirit that killed that man?

Just as Nanami was about to attack the cursed spirit together, Genichi stopped him: "Nanami-senpai, let me do it. There is still their leader on the roof over there, and there are still many victims in the building. Please control the situation, senior. I have to take this cursed spirit away from here; otherwise, it will get a constant source of power."

The loud noise just now had been heard by those people in the tent. Although they didn't know what happened, it did not stop them from feeling fear. After all, they had experienced those hellish things in the past.

With these fearful emotions, the cursed spirit looked almost recovered in appearance in the blink of an eye. Its huge body used all four "hands" to charge towards this side, and the eyes on its body emitted light again. Several black beams of light cut through the air and shot out.

The beams of light that Genichi dodged opened several large holes in the building behind him in just an instant. It looked like the building might not be able to withstand a few more hits. Genichi immediately activated the technique and then instantly disappeared from the spot together with the cursed spirit, leaving only a large hole in the wall.
