Curse Back: From Demonic Hollow to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Damp and cold.

Maki, who was originally sleeping soundly, frowned uncomfortably.

Suddenly an evil wind enveloped Maki's body.

Maki shuddered all over, completely waking up from her half-asleep state.

"Really? What the hell is going on in this place? It's so cold even in summer."

Maki crossed her hands and rubbed her arms, preparing to get up and find something to keep warm.

For some reason, the first person Maki thought of was Panda.

Maki remembered that Panda's soft body was filled with a lot of cotton.

It must be warm to sleep with it in your arms.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of this thought which was very tempting but also a bit embarrassing.

Maki subconsciously walked towards the direction of the closet.

Although all that was left here were some worn-out clothes and quilts.

But if it's just for one night, Maki thinks it's acceptable.

After all, the conditions are here.

However, when Maki looked up at the closet, she realized that she was not in the room at all.

What comes into view is a huge ancient building made of bricks and stones.

The entire building exudes an extremely evil atmosphere.

Outside the building are a large number of irregular rocks with strange shapes.

There is a lot of green mucus on the surface of these rocks.

Looking into the distance, all you can see is thick gray-green fog and sea water occasionally gushing out of the fog.

This is a weird island that would make ordinary people lose their sanity after seeing it.

Everything here is too evil and too contrary to human physiological and psychological cognition.

Ordinary people will sooner or later go crazy because they cannot adapt to everything here.

It was at this time that Maki finally realized a problem.

Why do I feel cold?

Maki knew exactly how strong her physical fitness was.

After achieving the complete Heaven and Tyrant, one's physical fitness, resistance to curses, and recovery ability have been greatly enhanced.

At present, if we only look at physical fitness, only my teacher Fushiguro Shinobu can surpass me.

Even the other special-class warriors couldn't defeat her in pure physical strength.

But how could she feel cold in the house?

There is only one answer.

"Am I cursed by a cursed spirit?"

Maki looked around at the uncomfortable environment with caution and began to wonder how she got caught.

Maki is the one with the most combat experience among this class of students, and has the sharpest combat instincts.

If there was any danger, she felt she would be able to detect it immediately.

But now I have been tricked without even realizing it?

The uneasiness in her heart made Maki subconsciously reach for the Thousand Chance Umbrella.

However, Maki didn't touch anything.

"Am I the only one who was transferred here?"

Maki felt a headache because she couldn't exorcise the cursed spirit without the curse tool.

This would undoubtedly put her in a very dangerous situation.

While worrying about herself, Maki was also worried about her companions.

How is Panda who is on guard?

Since I was infected, does it mean that something has happened to Panda?

There is also dog curled spines.

After spending a long time with Inugami Satoru, Maki discovered that he was actually a very gentle and reliable companion.

She also didn't want anything to happen to Gou Juanji.

pat, pat.

Footsteps came from behind the rocks.

After hesitating for a moment, Maki quickly moved and hid in a hidden corner to observe the situation outside.

In normal times, Maki would have been ready to fight.

But now I have no spell tools in my hand, and blindly joining the battle will only put myself in danger.

pat, pat.

Soon, a distorted figure covered in mucus appeared in Maki's sight.

'Is this the guy I met yesterday?'

Maki looked in amazement at the figure below, which was walking slowly forward. Its upper body looked like an octopus, but its lower body still maintained a distorted human posture.

'Why is this guy here?'

Maki was confused.

Could it be that this cursed spirit is similar to the fly head, also of a type with a similar appearance and a large number?

But I've never seen it before.

Over the years, Maki has taken on many missions to exorcise cursed spirits in order to hone her practical skills.

Therefore, he knows quite a bit about cursed spirits.

But Maki had never seen something like this before, something that was unforgettable at first sight.

As she thought about it, the image of the octopus man below became clearer and clearer in Maki's mind.

Slippery, slimy skin, disgusting tentacles, hand-made tentacles dragging on the ground, and densely packed eyes on the body and tentacles.

This series of images began to be collected and understood by Maki's brain unconsciously.

"Ugh."

Maki suddenly felt a severe dizziness, followed by a strong urge to vomit.

Where Maki didn't notice.

Maki's skin began to turn a sickly grayish-white.

pat.

'Found!'

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

Maki found herself being fixed by more than a dozen eyes.

"The feeling just now was not an accident, it was an attack!"

Maki was startled, and then immediately evacuated in the direction she had observed before.

pat, pat, pat.

The two sides started a chase, and the rocks covered with mucus and moss severely restricted Maki's movements.

This has brought the two sides closer and closer.

"Damn it!"

Maki cursed inwardly before turning around and preparing for the fight.

The ground is too slippery and not suitable for fast movement. In this case, it is better to deal with the enemy in front first.

Although it cannot be exorcised without a cursed tool, it is still possible to knock it away.

After all, this octopus man doesn't give people a heavy feeling.

While there was still some distance between the two sides, Maki quickly observed the ground.

Find a suitable place to stay.

She didn't want to be killed because of slipping while charging up for an attack.

30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters...

When the distance between the two sides was only 5 meters, Maki moved.

First jump high, then avoid the octopus man's tentacles and jump behind the enemy.

Then, when the opponent turns around to attack, use a sweeping kick to attack the octopus man's feet.

As the other fell to the ground, Maki grabbed the octopus man's right foot with one hand and grabbed the octopus man's tentacles that were swinging wildly due to the fall with the other hand.

"You're so slippery, are you a real octopus?"

The hand that grabbed the octopus man's right foot thought it was okay because of the clothes.

The hand that reached out to grab the tentacle failed to grab it because it was too slippery.

"In that case!"

Seeing this, Maki immediately gave up the idea of ​​grabbing the other person with both hands.

He then grabbed the opponent's right leg with one hand and then turned two and a half circles on the spot, and finally threw the octopus man away with force.

The crisis was resolved, and Maki began to think about what she should do next.

Finally, Maki set her sights on the ancient building made of huge stones not far away.

Although I don’t know where this place is or why I am here.

But since there's only one conspicuous building nearby, there's no reason not to check it out.

Be it the enemy's base or a trap.

The only place Maki can explore right now is this rocky island and the building in the center of it.

As for going in the opposite direction?

The only thing there that could be vaguely seen was the sea, shrouded in fog.

Snap, snap, snap, snap…

Just as Maki was thinking, countless footsteps were heard.
