Fujimaru Ritsuka, but the main god space

Chapter 18: Huh? Enemy? Yeah! The Hand of Great Compassion!
"call--"

Snap! ————

A sorcerer who obtains cursed power only needs to learn the basic operations of cursed power, which basically means a leap in the level of life.

There is no need for a lot of curse power, as long as it is enough to cover the whole body, one will not die even if falling at full speed from a height of dozens of meters. One has already reached the initial level of a non-human.

On the other hand, the fourth-level cursed spirit is just a small Karami who can be "repelled with a wooden stick", and the third-level one is not much better.

【AYAAAaaaa——————】

With a buzzing sound like a sharp piece of metal scratching across glass, the last level three cursed spirit let out a struggling scream and made an attacking move.

The dust on the ground quickly crossed over, and the blurry shadow passed through the corridor at high speed. Fujimaru Ritsuka raised the blade and completed the leaping and slashing action at a speed several times faster than the bloated cursed spirit.

Without any accident, the cursed spirit was cut in half along the central axis.

The remnants of the cursed power also dissipated.

The crusade is over.

"Thanks for your hard work."

On the side, Xia Yu greeted gently.

pat.

With a wave of his hand, the cursed spirit that had been docile under Xia Yu's palm also dissipated.

"That was the last one." Xia Yu concluded in a calm and calm tone. "Mission accomplished. Well, for a newbie, it's not bad."

Most of the credit for this mission actually goes to Geto Suguru.

Unlike Fujimaru who needs to use weapons, Geto Suguru's ability to control cursed spirits is very wide, reaching tens of kilometers, hundreds of kilometers, or even farther. As early as the moment he entered the abandoned villa, he had already dispersed some of the cursed spirits in his hands to explore the way and exorcise the weak cursed spirits, leaving only a small area for exorcism along the way.

"It's a pity that most of the curse spirits are of low quality and not worth taming. There is only one curse spirit that is close to level 2."

After saying this, Geto Xiayou squeezed the glowing blue ball in his hand.

That was the sphere formed after the cursed spirit was forcibly collected by the [Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique]. Every time Geto Suguru mastered a cursed spirit, he had to swallow the light ball into his body. It looked quite large in size, so it must be troublesome to swallow.

This summer oil is very good at swallowing.

"What does it taste like?" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked curiously, placing the knife at his side.

Xia Yujie's hand, which was about to swallow the cursed spirit, paused slightly.

"It doesn't have any taste, just like eating air." Xiayou Jie turned his head and gave Fujimaru a polite smile, then without hesitation, swallowed the curse ball into his stomach.

The huge sphere did not seem to be soft, and a noticeable bulge could be seen when it entered the throat. Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed that Kasumi did not look very good after "eating", and even had some signs of reflux.

But he didn't say much. He blinked and pretended nothing had happened. He waited for a while before raising his hand and spreading his palm towards Geto with some joy.

"High five?"

"."

Xia Yu was stunned and silent for a moment, but still raised his hand awkwardly.

Snapped.

The two of them high-fived each other in the air as a small celebration of completing the mission.

The two were currently on the third floor of an abandoned villa. On the way here, they had already raided several villas and defeated several cursed spirits.

As a result
"Just as expected, there was no difficulty. If I had to say, the difficulty was that I didn't dare to use my full power in the abandoned building. But even low-power operation of the magic power is enough to kill the third and fourth level cursed spirits. Theoretically, I can go back and report, but..."

Turning his head to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka who had a pure face, Geto asked.

"We've only reached the third floor. Even though we've matched the number and can't sense the remaining cursed energy on the upper floors, we should still take a quick look before going back."

Xia Yu is an excellent student and takes his tasks very seriously and rigorously.

And Fujimaru Ritsuka?
He never cared.

So the two of them walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor, but found that -

"broken?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered.

An unexpected situation occurred. In front of him and Getsu, the stairs connecting the third and fourth floors suddenly collapsed. The bricks and tiles were shattered, leaving only a large hollow area. The cracks were like saw teeth, and the internal structure could be vaguely seen.

".It's a bit far. Do you want to jump up?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and asked.

"Just now when I was on the second floor, I felt that the structure of this building was already unstable, and even the stairs here have collapsed. Just in case, it is better not to use the magic power to strengthen it."

Xia Yu analyzed the situation calmly and then spoke.

"Just jump out and climb up. It may be a little embarrassing, but this way you can escape in time even if the building collapses."

"Um"

Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed with this proposal.

However, he felt something strange.

Looking at the broken staircase, a string in Fujimaru's mind suddenly clicked.

--wrong.

——That was not a natural collapse.

——A naturally collapsed building should have a more powdery appearance, rather than the angular stacking it has now. The curvature and position are also wrong, and judging by the length of the cracks, it does not seem to be damage caused by a natural fall.

—Isn't this common sense, my friend?

Fujimaru pinched the handle of his sword, and when he turned to look at Getsuyu, he was about to say something.

But at the same time, his pupils also contracted.

At that moment, the picture seemed to be still.

Xia Yu walked towards the stairs leading to the lower level with his back to him, but only half a meter away from his face, there was a baby curled up into a small ball?

The baby's overall color was the purple-gray color of a dead baby, and its sparse hair had a texture as hard as pig hair. Its tightly closed eyes were extremely huge, and its eye sockets almost occupied three-quarters of its face!

That's not human.

It's a curse spirit.

In terms of spell power, it is as strong as a second-level curse spirit!

Moreover, it is a superior position!

The reason why it was not discovered immediately was because the cursed spirit was in the "cursed fetus" state, which was equivalent to turning the virus into harmless crystals, which made the detection of cursed power and observation of the five senses invalid.

Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed the other person purely based on his 'intuition' that came from many life-and-death experiences.

I see, I got it. It was clearly a critical moment, but Ritsuka was not nervous at all, instead, there was a hint of excitement in the corners of his eyes.

coming.

His own 'bad luck' worked once again.

Considering the distance that Fujimaru Ritsuka was at, he could have easily avoided the attack range of the cursed spirit immediately, but he chose to shout a warning first.

"Sugaru, get out of the way!——"

The moment the warning was transformed into concrete words, the cursed spirit and Getsuyu in front of him responded.

The cursed spirit suddenly swelled up and opened its narrow mouth, revealing its sharp teeth densely arranged like those of a deep-sea fish. Xia Yu immediately bent sideways, trying to avoid the cold air coming from his ears.

The next moment, the light and shadow suddenly shrank and expanded, covering the surroundings in the form of a spherical spread.

A high heat and repulsive force came from Fujimaru Ritsuka's chest, forcing him to be flung away and hit the dangerous wall behind him.

At the critical moment, the palm that was stretched backwards instantly touched the wall, and the cursed power gushed out as a buffer. Fujimaru Ritsuka simulated the buffering material in his mind, shaping the shape of the cursed power as much as possible, and then completed the buffering, force-bearing, and preparation for rushing forward again at the moment of hitting the wall.

This kind of high-end application is not something that newcomers should learn. It is not that the operation of spell power itself is difficult, but this kind of "imagination" and "creativity" are not possessed by novice sorcerers.

But he is Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Unfortunately, even though Fujimaru Ritsuka was quick-witted and removed the damage, he could only see that the "cursed baby" stretched out countless tentacles to lock and entangle Geto's limbs and dragged her to the fourth floor.

This was a surprise attack, and an attack beyond 'common sense'.

Normally, low-level cursed spirits wouldn't have the awareness of 'creating traps', nor would they be able to perform high-precision operations like 'using cursed infant forms to reduce the leakage of cursed power'. It was precisely this kind of theory that caused such an excellent newcomer in curse arts like Geto to be bound by the cursed spirits without even being able to react.

If this continues, summer oil might be a little dangerous.

But at the same time, a cold and stinging sensation swept across Ritsuka's back again.

(Ah, there are some on my back too.)
At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not mistaken about the situation on the scene.

Xia Yu was restrained by the opponent, and he was also surrounded by attacks.

Save summer oil?
Or yourself?

The action that should be taken is————

The time for thinking is compressed to within 0.1 second.

Fujimaru Ritsuka followed his instinct and looked blankly.

First, throw the blade in your hand without hesitation.

bass! !

The life-saving weapon was instantly abandoned, and the white light penetrated the air, making a cutting sound the moment it touched the curse, cutting off a small part of the tentacles of the cursed spirit baby. While making room for Gayu to move, Fujimaru himself followed the force of the thrown blade and rolled forward suddenly, just avoiding the attack from behind.

AAYAaaa——?
A sudden and overwhelming hurricane pierced through the back of the neck, and the stinging sensation scratched the skin.

Without time to check the extent of his injuries, Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled forward and immediately readjusted his posture, stepped on the ground with his shoe to brake, turned around and saw something behind him————

That was also a cursed baby.

There are two cursed infants that have transformed into second-level cursed spirits in this building!

A cursed fetus is a form of a cursed spirit that has not yet fully matured, and is generally weaker. But even so, under normal circumstances, it is not something that two level 4 sorcerers who have only studied spells for a week should face.

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

——The stairs were deliberately damaged. The ambush was planned.

——It is impossible for an abandoned building to produce such a large amount of cursed energy debris.

——The second-level cursed spirit already has preliminary intelligence.

From this we can see that it is impossible for the seven fourth-level cursed spirits to coexist peacefully with the higher-level cursed fetuses. If they were left behind, it could only be because the cursed fetuses did it on purpose, in order to lure and kill the weak sorcerers?
Is this kind of arrangement something a cursed spirit would do?
No, it won't.

(I’m being watched~)

(This second-level cursed spirit was deliberately cultivated and then temporarily thrown here.)
(I encountered Black Hand on my first mission. It was such a déjà vu that I felt like this was normal.)
Ritsuka chuckled. He believed that Geto had probably thought of these things as well, so what remained to be done would be very clear.

He swallowed to calm the wild beating of his chest.

He touched the back of his neck.

When he took his hand back, the palm was already stained with blood.

My heart is beating.

My feet are shaking.

Countless colors poured in from the eyes, flooding the brain's processor. The cold wind breathed in could not calm the heat in the body. The emotions were dancing and singing quietly.

Is someone plotting against me?

Is someone threatening me?

Considering that I have no companions around me, is my current situation actually dangerous?
So cool!!

How can I bear it? How can I bear it?!

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and his eyes became clear.

At the same time, his eyes were still paying attention to the cursed spirit in front of him.

The blade had been discarded in order to help Geto untie the restraints, and Geto himself was dragged to the fourth floor which was separated from the third floor.

The opponent's original plan was to quickly deal with Geto and then attack him from both sides, but now it has turned into a one-on-one duel.

Then
Without the cursed tools, the rituals of life are useless.

"call"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, clenched his fists, and stepped forward with one foot, ready to fight.

To what extent can I achieve this?

The training time is one week.

The power of the spell is average.

Combat experience is almost zero.

The birth technique cannot be used.

In this situation, what will be the outcome if a fourth-level sorcerer fights against a second-level cursed spirit enemy!
Damn it, that's for sure! It's a miserable end! An absolutely hopeless death!
Then can the Master escape death! Survive by chance! ?
It’s very difficult! It’s very difficult!

Please watch the next episode!
