A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

Logically speaking, even a top-grade cursed object should not have self-awareness. So, is it possible that someone interfered and implanted this thing into Sister Ming's body?

I'm so tired, I really can't stay awake any longer.

Chapter 78 The Burning Butterfly

The "Killing Stone" is the crystallization of the resentment of a nine-tailed fox after it is killed.

What Kenmei Isayama and Jinji Fukuro didn't know was that someone within the Spellcaster Association had already been researching this thing. The result was that it was completely unusable. Once implanted, it would completely go out of control, and those who were corrupted by the remaining will within it would gradually become monsters that only knew how to destroy.

Therefore, when the experiment was abolished, the "Killing Stone" was classified as a secret within the Spellcaster Association, just like the finger of the King of Curses. It was kept highly confidential and was elevated to a special-grade cursed object, which was strictly sealed, controlled and contained by all parties.

If this thing really is a fragment formed from the blood essence of the legendary cursed spirit Tamamo-no-Mae, then I shouldn't have any problems if I'm a little rough with it, right?

When Kenmei Isayama held his sister Mei in his arms, he used his spiritual energy to cover his fingers and stroked the crimson, bewitching stone. He had already tested it; the intensity of the curse was quite high. It only emitted white smoke and showed no signs of dissolving. It felt completely cold to the touch.

And just as he thought, the fundamental reason why Sister Mei was completely different was this Killing Stone, and this little thing even wanted to corrupt Isayama Kenmei.

Despite the protection of psychic energy, the moment Kenmei Isayama's fingers touched the "Killer Stone," he was immediately struck by an emotion powerful enough to drive anyone mad, which directly threatened to invade his mental world.

The passive ability [Unyielding Will] was triggered, immediately negating this mad emotion, thus greatly weakening the corruption that Kenmei Isayama suffered this time.

Aside from the scene reappearing before his eyes, Kenmei Isayama was unaffected.

A gigantic, snow-white fox, so large it blotted out the sky, roared furiously. Its scarlet eyes were wide open, and incredible magical power destroyed everything with the waving of its nine tails. It was a terrifying monster filled with endless savagery, death, and resentment that drove people mad.

Meanwhile, Kenmei Isayama saw a man who looked like an ant in front of Tamamo-no-Mae's enormous body. He had four arms and his two faces were covered in tattoos. He stared at this legendary cursed spirit with great interest, as if this was the formidable enemy he most desired.

Then the screen abruptly stopped, and Kenmei Isayama, after regaining his senses, realized that less than a second had passed in his perception.

"boss?"

However, Isayama Kenmei's unusual behavior did not escape his notice.

"I am fine."

Kenmei Isayama waved his hand, immediately indicating that he was fine.

"Here you go."

When he saw his awkward face and his hesitant expression, Kenmei Isayama suddenly remembered that Fukuro Shinji's Tennishoku was still in his hand, so he threw the sword over.

Fuheishen took the blade and immediately stuffed it back into Choubao's mouth. He was genuinely scared. His top-grade cursed artifact, worth over 500 million, was still with the boss and he couldn't get it back. If he lost the Heavenly Reverse Blade, would he fight others with his bare hands?

But Fuheishen was overthinking it. Isayama Kenmei wasn't that petty. The Tennis Hoko would only be most effective in Fuheishen's hands. A mage like him should be holding a staff, not a blade.

Isayama Kenmei shook his head. He had examined the core of his sister Ming's body and found that it was this strange stone. With this stone, her entire body and limbs were deeply embedded in her body like tiny tree roots, densely packed and basically integrated with her blood vessels.

This body and the "Sesshoseki" are inseparable, forming a symbiotic relationship.

Instead of being parasitic, this situation is much better than what Kenjiro Isayama envisioned at the beginning.

So he had an idea: maybe he could save Sister Ming in her current state and let her live on in another form.

That is to extract all the domineering and eerie curse power from the Killing Stone and replace it with curse power that Kenmei Isayama obtained through spiritual energy. His curse power is quite pure and has no other impurities, so it will not cause damage to the remaining soul of Mei-neechan.

However, the feasibility risk is really high, because Kenmei Isayama does not know whether Mei-neechan is able to continue living in this dead body by using curse power or by the special spell effect of the extremely strong life force of the legendary curse spirit.

Furthermore, Kenmei Isayama's actions were tantamount to destroying this "Killing Stone," which might shatter on the spot and cause irreversible consequences.

So

If Kenmei Isayama were to be cautious, he could have waited until his psychic abilities were at a higher level before engaging in such delicate activities.

The success rate is too low now. We can use Isayama Kenmei's spiritual energy to make a crystal coffin for Sister Ming's body, which will greatly slow down her decomposition. At the same time, we can transport Sister Ming home and carve a spiritual energy array to better protect and preserve her.

If Kenmei Isayama's spiritual power level is strong enough by then, he might be able to use the revived Tamamo-no-Mae as a vessel for Isayama's will to be resurrected in this way.

But just as Kenmei Isayama was about to put his plan into practice, several streaks of blue light suddenly appeared in the distance.

"Butterfly?"

How can there be blue butterflies in the city at night, and why is there light when their wings flutter?

Then, in the next moment, countless blue butterflies, appearing out of nowhere, just like the tricks Fukuro Jinji had played before, all gathered into a sea of ​​insects and rushed straight towards Isayama Kenmei and Fukuro Jinji at an extremely fast speed.

Fuheishen had the Ugly Treasure on him, so Isayama Kenmei didn't activate the [Zerg Slayer] effect, not wanting to accidentally harm friendly forces. Unexpectedly, he was taken advantage of at this moment.

The noise of flapping wings was chaotic, but for Fuheishen, his hearing also picked up something different. It seemed that there were many unknown things rapidly approaching from afar amidst the swarm of insects, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, as if they were specifically targeting Kenmei Isayama.

"Uncle."

Isayama Kenmei didn't even look up before calling out to Fushiguro Shige.

"I can handle this kind of large-scale work."

Hearing his boss say that, Fuheshen naturally didn't disengage from his defensive stance.

As the surging horde of insects drew near, Kenmei Isayama glanced at them and said coldly.

"combustion."

As soon as he finished speaking, the area around Isayama Kenmei and Fushiguro Jinji was illuminated by the scorching firelight, and the temperature instantly rose by several degrees. If Isayama Kenmei hadn't used his psionic shield to block the high temperature, they would probably be drenched in sweat by now.

This illogical scene left the mastermind behind it all wide-eyed.

"impossible!"

The swarm of insects over there has been completely engulfed by flames; the entire swarm is burning!

The intense blue flames relentlessly burned the butterflies to ashes, and even the fifty-centimeter-long steel nails mixed in with the swarm of insects were melted by the high temperature and turned into molten iron.

Each blue butterfly was engulfed in a dazzling azure psionic flame, transforming its already shimmering beauty into a tiny, burning fireball as it slowly fell, the flames dissipating with it.

Tens of thousands of butterflies are simply not enough to burn.

"Damn it, we have to abandon the experimental subjects."

The guy hiding not far away said through gritted teeth.

But as he was preparing to leave, a sudden, merciless punch slammed into his face, sending him flying uncontrollably ten meters away.

Before he could even get up, the attacker stomped hard on his chest, and he heard the sound of bones breaking—several ribs had been broken.

"Hey, isn't this a kid?"

Despite saying that, Fuheshchen's footwork became even heavier, making the bones crack and shatter.

Yesterday's second chapter was too short, so I'll update it earlier.

Chapter 79 The hatred of the dead is more terrifying than that of the living.

The psionic spell [Ignite], which burns the entire swarm of insects, belongs to the fire magic family. Psionicists who master this series of spells are called fire masters.

Spell effect: The Firebringer summons flames that melt and incinerate enemies.

Although the Butterfly Cursed Spirits were easily defeated, their sheer number caused them to deplete a significant amount of Kenmei Isayama's mana.

Fire-based psionic spells generally consume more mana than telekinetic spells, since it's sometimes difficult to estimate how much mana is needed to create a flame, and often more is required.

However, against enemies with numerical superiority, fire magic has an advantage over telekinesis. Telekinesis requires precise aiming and cutting, while fire magic requires no technique or thought; you can just burn them down without thinking.

"Boss, here are the people you wanted, alive."

Kenmei Isayama could hear the little devil's screams from afar. This was the result of Fukuro Jinji noticing that his boss was approaching, so he deliberately stomped harder.

"Still lively and energetic."

Fuheshen has not left any survivors in a long time. From the perspective of causing lethality and injury, this might actually be the lightest he has ever done.

"Boss, look! I've discovered that this brat is just like the one you used to kill your sister—no matter how hard I try, I can't kill him!"

Listen to what he's saying, as if Kenmei Isayama were a cold-blooded demon who would slaughter his own family. Fukushige was showing off to Kenmei Isayama like he had just received a new toy, and in front of Kenmei Isayama, he grabbed the unfortunate man's arm and pulled him down.

The violent tearing by Fukushigeki caused the chilling sounds of blood splattering and flesh ripping to reach Isayama Kenmei's ears, while the thick smell of blood filled the air, causing him to frown.

"That's enough. We haven't set up any 'tents' here yet. It would be troublesome if we attracted ordinary people."

The current Mei-nee is encased in a crystal coffin constructed by Kenmei Isayama using spiritual energy. She looks as if she is asleep, very peaceful, with the white gardenia headdress still on her hair.

The entire crystal coffin was carried on the back of a strong fleshhound, which was bound to it with psionic chains. Considering the need for transport, the fleshhound did not even spread its dorsal fins like a lizard, and was handled with great care.

Those large, blood-red eyes were wide open, cautiously observing the surrounding movements, their noses twitching as they sniffed for any new, unfamiliar scents in the air. And lurking in the shadows of the fleshhounds was another colossal beast, ready to pounce at the slightest sign of trouble.

Kenmei Isayama stroked the ferocious head of the fleshhound to keep it on its guard.

The stranger was discovered by the Flesh Hound.

Learning from past mistakes is a lesson to prevent a recurrence of the situation where Kenmei Isayama was stabbed through the chest by Shigeji Fushiguro.

In reality, this game isn't like [Sacred Temple] where Isayama Kenmei can save his game. He can be beheaded and dismembered. If he doesn't use a healing psychic spell to heal before his health bar reaches zero, he will still die.

Therefore, Kenmei Isayama now has these flesh-and-blood hounds with noses that are even more outrageous than their psychic abilities act as guards around the area, responding quickly to any abnormalities.

When the Flesh Hound released [Ignite] at Isayama Kenmei, it sensed this anomaly. Isayama Kenmei immediately sent Fushiguro Shigeji to investigate, and specifically instructed him...

"We need to capture them alive."

Adhering to the principle of "better to catch the wrong person than let them go," arriving at the scene of a previous crime at this time seems problematic no matter how you look at it.

Kenmei Isayama then ordered Shigeji Fushiguro to launch an attack under the cover of firelight.

At first, Fuheishen was a little unaccustomed to keeping the prisoners alive. After punching and kicking them for a while, he instantly became familiar with the familiar screams.

Kenmei Isayama walked forward and just happened to see the process of the white-haired brat's new arm growing back after the arm that had been torn off by Fushiguro Jinji was torn off.

A flash of red light appeared, and amidst the churning flesh and blood, tiny, blood vessel-like shoots formed a skeleton. Soon, bones, blood vessels, and muscles, relying on the skeleton, were gradually built up at an extremely fast speed. In the end, the bright red muscles were covered by the skin, and the whole process took less than a second.

As for the severed limbs that Fuhesh had previously held, they turned into a pile of dried wood after the original body was restored.

Watering and drying occur simultaneously.

Overall, this regenerative ability is many times stronger than that of Sister Ming, but that doesn't stop him from being utterly crushed by Fukushiro.

Kenmei Isayama looked at the arm with the curled-up branch that Shinobu Fushiguro was offering. This brat was definitely someone connected to the "Sesshoseki" (Killing Stone).

"I'll kill you! I absolutely must kill you!"

The white-haired imp lying in a pool of blood on the ground looked vicious, as if he had devoured Fuhesh.

"How could you do something like this to me!"

Originally, this white-haired brat possessed a spell that allowed him to transform into a butterfly, enabling him to go wherever he wanted and no one could catch him.

But who would have thought that they would fail today? Because the effect of [Heavenly Reversal] forcibly dispels all spells, the white-haired brat's spells naturally became ineffective and fell completely into Fuheishen's hands.
