The all-powerful middle schooler

In the middle of that cave sat a figure resembling a mummy, emaciated and shrouded in a ghostly light.

Suddenly, the two bandages around the bandaged man's eyebrows separated, revealing a pair of terrifying dead fish eyes that gleamed with an eerie green light.

"Come on, let today's dedication begin."

"Help me become the King of Curses, and you will share in the glory and possess this world together!"

He slowly stood up, opened his arms, and shouted loudly.

"I curse you to a terrible death..."

"I curse you to eternal damnation..."

"I curse your body to decay..."

The mummies' pupils lit up with the same light, then they all knelt down, chanting in hoarse voices.

However, among these sounds, there were also some discordant notes.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

"It's all a lie, a lie, a lie!"

"I'm cursed! I'm cursed!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Some of the mummies uttered human-like sounds—madness, regret, pain—a mixture of emotions rising and falling.

Hate me! Then curse me!

"This is the price you must pay for accepting power!"

The bandaged monster was completely unfazed by their hostility and instead laughed wildly.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Ruri Gokou were deeply moved by the tragic and bizarre scene before them, and many questions arose in their minds.

"This guy is the one who turned those people into mummies?"

What exactly is his purpose in doing this?

"Is the curse the power he wields?"

"Is this guy a superhuman, or a monster?"

Unsure of what to do, they were somewhat hesitant.

Amidst these curses, the eerie light that appeared behind the bandaged monster seemed to grow even deeper.

The two girls noticed this.

It turns out that the verbal curses uttered by those turned into mummies really do enhance the power of the other party.

"We can't let it get stronger."

"Let's give it a try."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Ruri Gokou exchanged a glance and decided to take action.

They had originally planned to launch a surprise attack, but the moment their figures emerged from the shadows on the ground, the bandaged monster seemed to have noticed them, its eerie green eyes locking onto them.

"I didn't expect to have two guests tonight."

The bandaged man's voice was equally hoarse, yet even deeper.

"Don't waste your breath on it."

Slightly surprised, the two girls still acted without hesitation.

With a wave of her hand, Yukino Yukinoshita condensed the water droplets in the air into dozens of tiny ice crystals. Then, she pushed them with her spiritual power, which was equivalent to shooting out sharp knives. A mere graze would cause injury, and those hit would be corroded by the cold air, suffering unbearable pain.

Ruri Gokou used the power of light; a ball of light flew to the top of the cave and then exploded, turning into raindrops that fell from the sky.

This combined attack of 'Multiple Ice Crystals' and 'Rain of Light' would likely cripple an ordinary opponent in one strike.

However, the bandaged monster not far away remained motionless, enduring the attacks of the two without sustaining any damage; only the eerie light emanating from it rippled slightly.

With just one strike, the two girls' expressions changed drastically, realizing that the enemy before them was not a match they could challenge.

"I curse you to be weak in the limbs..."

Suddenly, a soft, mournful sound reached my ears.

"What, what's wrong?"

Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if her body suddenly lost all strength, her steps faltered, and she almost fell.

"Oh no, we've been given a debuff!"

Ruri Gokou exclaimed in surprise, using gaming terminology.

"Debuff?"

"go!"

While Yukinoshita was still wondering, Gokou Ruri grabbed her arm without saying a word, then quickly disappeared into the shadows and fled with all her might.

"Ok?"

The bandaged monster hadn't expected her to make such a decisive judgment and retreat so quickly. The incantation he was about to continue was swallowed back down. He then abandoned the mummies and chased after her out of the cave.

"Gone?"

When it reached the grassland outside and saw the forest without a trace, it had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing the chase and return to the cave.

A kilometer away, after crossing a hill.

Two figures emerged from a shadow.

"Huh...huh..."

Ruri Gokou was panting heavily, trying to recover her greatly depleted spiritual energy.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood guard nearby, keeping watch for any possible enemy attacks.

"It seems it didn't choose to chase after us."

After resting for a few minutes, the two continued their escape until they reached a safe place in the city, where they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That brief encounter almost left them with psychological trauma.

The fear subsided only after I thought of that person.

"It seems that the mummy's power is what it calls a 'curse,' but its manifestation is very strange."

"It just cursed us with words, which lasted for about thirty seconds."

"I last for twenty seconds. It seems that spiritual power can also resist the influence of this strange ability."

"There should still be distance limitations, but other methods of inflicting curses cannot be ruled out."

"But even with this intelligence, we are no match for it, and far inferior."

After discussing and analyzing the situation with Yukino Yukinoshita, Ruri Gokou and Yukinoshita determined that they were outmatched and exchanged a glance, making the only correct judgment—

[Requesting reinforcements!]

It's impossible to let the other party act arbitrarily; it would not only affect one's own living environment but also go against one's ideals.

As for requesting members of the organization, yes, but it's not necessary.

Those people are too weak; they are already struggling to maintain a semblance of stability.

After returning home and resting, the two simultaneously posted in the group chat, recounting their experiences.

Although it was late at night, the group members, who stayed up all night cultivating immortality, responded quickly.

Thunder Hammer User: Dekomori has recently developed a new move and is worried about not having anyone to test it out, so let that guy receive the baptism of thunder!

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi: It looks like the situation isn't looking good. I can lend a hand.

The True Eye of the Evil King: Under my righteous heart, there is no room for evil to exist.

Psychic: I want to be with everyone.

Witch of Greed: Oh my, is everyone so interested?

Greedy Witch: Hmm, what did the minister say?

Sage: At Kobato's request, I will be giving Kobato special training recently, so I won't be able to be there in person.

Witch of Greed: Oh, I see. I won't go. Without the minister's memories, existence is pointless.

This statement greatly disappointed everyone.

Because it looks like a team-building opportunity.

However, the minister's next words cheered them up.

[I was just saying I don't plan to be there in person, but sending a mental clone would be fine.]

The group members cheered from below, eagerly anticipating how Hasegawa would arrive.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the girls from the Tokyo headquarters arrived at the meeting point.

Before long, a demon rabbit that looked like a living creature came before them.

They recognized it immediately; it was the plush toy that Kobato often held in her arms. Apparently, it was the first gift her older brother had given her, so even though it was worn out, she still cherished it.

"Could it be that……?"

The girls looked it over and immediately made a judgment in their minds.

"Yes, it's me."

The devil rabbits had their mouths sewn shut and remained motionless, but a familiar voice rang directly in their minds.

49

Chapter 49: When dealing with evil spirits and heretics, there's no need to talk about chivalry; let's all fight side by side!

Hasegawa's methods are always unexpected and quite magical.

The girls were only stunned for a moment before quickly accepting it.

"So cute, Minister!"

Natsukawa Masuzu was the first to react, rushing towards the Demon Rabbit and hugging it tightly.

"It's so cold, what are you doing?"

"Itsuki Izumi spoke up."

"It's in a girl's nature to want to play with cute toys, isn't that true for Kobato too?"

Natsukawa Masaki had a big smile on her face.

"Then why didn't you hug me before?"

"That's because Kobato is holding it in his arms. I can't just take Kobato's toy away!"

She answered as a matter of course.

"Do as you please, toys are just a medium anyway."

Izumi Hasegawa's tone changed slightly.

In short, this reflects a laissez-faire attitude.

"Hey, Witch of Greed, this is Kobato's toy. What if you damage it? Give it to me."

"Witch of Greed, hand over the Demon Rabbit to me right now! I won't allow you to keep the sacred relic Death all to yourself."

"As expected, I should leave the task of safekeeping to me, the strongest one!"

The girls were preparing to use this opportunity to criticize Natsukawa Masuzu, but upon seeing the outcome, they all changed their minds.

"Hmph! You people are all hypocrites..."

Natsukawa Masaki turned her head to look at them, her smile contemptuous.

"There is a flaw!"

With lightning speed on her back, Sanae Dekomori transformed into a bolt of lightning in an instant and snatched the Devil Rabbit from her arms.

"You little brat!"
