Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1275 - 924: Who Could Resist Such Temptation?
"Huff!"
In the sound of a whistling gust, a vicious curse spirit like a mantis suddenly leapt down from the tree, attacking Todo Aoi who was lying on the ground.
This curse spirit wasn’t particularly high in rank, probably around the second rank. Normally, Todo Aoi could easily dispatch it with a casual punch.
But now, Todo Aoi was covered in injuries and found it extremely difficult to move even a bit. He could only watch as the mantis curse spirit pounced at him, its sharp forelimbs about to pierce his head, ready to take his life with a single blow.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a beam of blue light flashed, pulling the mantis spirit into the air with an astonishing gravitational force. Immediately, a red light shot forth, hitting the mantis, exerting a terrible repulsive force in the opposite direction, causing horrific tearing and squeezing.
"Boom!"
The next second, the mantis curse spirit exploded on the spot, turning into a bloody blossom.
It was then that Reiger’s figure appeared beside Todo Aoi, extending a hand towards him, releasing a burst of curse energy.
This was reversed curse energy, full of positive energy. Once it landed on Todo Aoi, his injuries began to heal visibly, as if his body was regenerating.
"Stop lying around, get up."
Reiger kicked Todo Aoi, prompting him to come to his senses and quickly get up.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the side.
It was Miwa Kasumi’s voice.
After witnessing Reiger’s astonishing blade strike, the girl had been frozen, unable to move a muscle. Now, she found herself surrounded by numerous curse spirits. Caught off guard, a toad-like curse spirit stuck out its long tongue and licked her delicate face, making her scream in terror, nearly fainting from the shock.
Various curse spirits continued to appear around them, some resembling beasts, others like clowns, puppets, or ghosts, filling the scene with negative curse energy.
"So many curse spirits?"
Todo Aoi was somewhat surprised but remained calm. He charged forward, smashing a swaying third-rank curse spirit with a punch.
"[Jade Dog]."
"[Nue]."
"[Big Snake]."
Seeing more and more curse spirits appear around them, Reiger slightly frowned but then relaxed, summoning three types of Shikigami in one breath.
Immediately, a giant black and white Shikigami dog, a massive lightning imbued Shikigami eagle, and a colossal white snake Shikigami as enormous as a sky-swallowing serpent emerged from Reiger’s shadow, roaring and charging at the surrounding curse spirits.
The Shikigami dogs attacked decisively, taking down curse spirits one by one, tearing them into pieces.
The Shikigami eagle flapped its wings, unleashing countless lightning bolts, blasting curse spirits away, then flying into the forest to quickly rescue the wounded Kamo Noritoshi.
The white snake was even more fierce, moving violently, its long body slithering and smashing curse spirits aside easily. It opened its large fanged mouth, swallowing numerous curse spirits like a man-eating python, portraying an extremely brutal battle scene.
"What’s going on?"
Kamo Noritoshi, healed by Reiger’s reversed technique, was astonished at the scene before him.
Reiger calmly responded.
"Clearly, something’s happened."
Just as he vaguely remembered, the exchange event was disrupted midway, causing an incident at the sorcery school.
Though the specifics were unknown, it was undoubtedly not the time to continue the competition.
"Let’s go, regroup with the others."
Reiger didn’t give Todo Aoi or Kamo Noritoshi much time to react. His figure suddenly flashed appearing beside the still-screaming Miwa Kasumi, grabbing her by the collar and lifting her up.
"What? What?"
Poor Miwa Kasumi was lifted into the air by Reiger before she could react.
With the [Limitless Curse Technique] now, Reiger didn’t need to chant magic to fly anymore. He could directly activate the technique to walk through the air like Gojo Satoru.
At the same time, Kamo Noritoshi was also carried by Reiger’s [Nue], and Todo Aoi was similarly grabbed by [Nue] at the shoulders, flying high into the air, leaving the battlefield.
However, they only escaped the battlefield on the ground.
Upon reaching the air, Reiger and the others found the sky similarly filled with numerous curse spirits. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Some of these curse spirits had wings and flew like birds, while others were like flying insects or fish, able to swim through the air.
Numerous curse spirits moved throughout the forests, mountains, and skies, creating a scene that would make one question if they had entered a ghostly realm.
"Hyakki Yagyo..."
Kamo Noritoshi murmured with a troubled expression.
This phrase triggered an intense reaction from Todo Aoi and Miwa Kasumi.
"Is it the same incident as last year?" Miwa Kasumi exclaimed, "But wasn’t the mastermind already punished then?"
Hyakki Yagyo wasn’t merely a myth; it had occurred in reality before.
Last year, a powerful curse master initiated this event, releasing thousands of curse spirits of varying ranks into the public, deliberately creating a Hyakki Yagyo.
To respond, students from the two major sorcery schools, past graduates, and even the three great families were mobilized. Yaga Masamichi also requested assistance from the Sorcerer Alliance, mobilizing nearly the entire sorcery world to finally stop the thousands of curse spirits successfully.
