Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

Greed, desire, and resentment...

As the dead, they covet and spy on the living.

them...

They wanted to devour Sakurai whole, to completely consume him.

35. Let's put an end to this – forged through countless trials, an endless bulwark, with maxed-out magic resistance.

The American soldiers staggered toward Sakurai, looking even more disheveled than patients recovering from a serious illness.

But this overwhelming malice towards the living and this attitude are more terrifying than demons from hell.

but--

"I can't ask for it."

Sakurai, who was eagerly anticipating the battle between immortals, smirked slightly, gripped the Arakami Fang in his hand, and was about to step forward to give the sergeant a slash as a greeting gift for his new arrival.

At this moment, he, who was incapable of feeling pain, belatedly realized that something was wrong with his body.

Trauma, hunger, fatigue, and exhaustion—all these negative states were inflicted on Sakurai at the same time the magic circle appeared.

Looking at the several scars on his wrist, Sakurai frowned slightly.

The inability to feel pain is, in the long run, more of a disadvantage than an advantage in combat, especially when facing a powerful enemy.

Even if one is immortal, without knowing the exact condition of one's body, many unnecessary flaws will still appear.

It seems I need to find a way to restore this part of my senses.

If the fragments I recall are correct, the reason I can't feel pain is because Sakuragawa was subjected to endless experiments during her childhood.

In my dream, I regained my sense of pain, which means...

Does it act on the body?

Hopefully, the unscrupulous merchants can find a way.

His body has memorized this state and taken it for granted, so even countless resurrections cannot restore it.

With a silent sigh, Sakurai made a decision.

I absolutely must get myself back to normal.

"You're distracted in the middle of battle? Can't you see me clearly?"

Hearing Sergeant Oni's reprimand, Sakurai refocused his attention on the battle.

"I'm sorry, I will focus all my attention on you from now on."

After earnestly expressing his apology, Sakurai clenched his fist and suddenly swung it out, blowing the head off of the hungry soldier who was standing near him.

He was certain of one thing...

Like my own Hundred Flowers Blooming - Blazing Soul Devouring, will it be affected as long as I am within the range of Oni Sergeant's magic circle?

It's really... We finally managed to create a field, how come it's become so common?

Fine, as the saying goes, it's only polite to reciprocate. Since you've pulled this stunt, I can't let you down.

After stretching his limbs, Sakurai focused his mind and spoke.

Roar!

"Arakami Fang, deploy your domain."

"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom, Blazing Flames Devour Souls".

A fiery, soul-scorching red lotus bloomed instantly around Sakurai.

The intense heat that landed on the soul evaporated the blood on the ground in an instant, and also dispelled all the negative effects on Sakurai.

To be precise, it was this blazing flame that killed Sakurai in an instant, completely resetting his state.

From the moment Sakurai developed the "Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom: Soul Devouring Flames" technique, its primary principle was to kill the enemy before killing oneself.

His body, his soul, are the key to unlocking the barrier.

In an instant, the Aragami Fang devoured his soul and body, then turned them into fuel to release a blazing barrier of flames.

Its form is a translucent red lotus that continuously withers from the moment it blooms.

Before the 119-second countdown reaches zero, the barrier centered on him will continuously and evenly scorch all life within it.

They cannot distinguish between friend and foe, without exception.

This is the combat method that Sakurai developed, changing his ability to kill only one enemy at a time and allowing him to fight on a large scale.

The intense heat instantly ignited the surrounding American soldiers, and amidst their agonizing screams, they were reduced to ashes as they burned fiercely.

"My field isn't bad either."

The moment the words left his mouth, Sakurai vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, the Arakami Fang had already pierced through the Sergeant's chest.

Meanwhile, the sergeant's sword, which was also on fire, pierced through Sakurai's chest.

"It's so hot, but I won't die from this level of attack."

Looking down at the crimson dagger at his chest, the sergeant's voice was incredibly hoarse.

"is it?"

"Then I'm going to get serious. In return, you can only get stronger, right?"

"If you're not strong enough, I'll be very disappointed."

He gripped the military knife embedded in his chest with his left hand and clenched it so tightly that it shattered into pieces.

Fragments of the blade flew in all directions, shining brightly amidst the fading red lotus.

Without batting an eye, Sakurai pulled the remaining blade from his body and tossed it aside, grinning as he did so.

"Okay, come on then."

"kill me."

As he tossed aside the hilt of his military knife, the sergeant drew an old-fashioned matchlock gun, and in an instant, his eight-pack abs turned into skin and bones.

"Roar!!!"

Amid the sergeant's low growl, countless wounds appeared on his body.

The eye-shaped barrier on the ground changed, and blood formed a huge triangle outside the giant eye.

The body, constantly scorched by the flames of the soul, instantly withered.

Sakurai frowned slightly, noticing that his body was feeling somewhat weak.

Has the curse intensified?

That's truly an unreasonable ability.

But I'm not bad either.

Since you're getting serious, I'll reveal a little bit of that too...

The strongest trump card to deal with this situation.

......

Sakurai rarely dreams. After coming into this world, the first thing he dreamed of was his mother, the second was himself, and the third was...

【Octagonal Bright Silver Hammer】.

That was the night after he developed the Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom: Soul Devouring Flames, which was also the night Xiao Yexiao stayed at his house.

Sakurai, who was asleep leaning against the wall, heard the sound of an octagonal bright silver hammer.

As one of Sakurai's partners, Octagonal Bright Silver Hammer is jealous.

Not to be outdone, it told Sakurai that the Octagonal Bright Silver Hammer also had a barrier that was not much worse than Hundred Flowers Blooming - Soul Devouring Flames.

Sakurai can develop it with just a little effort.

After that, Sakurai began meditating, following the instructions of the octagonal bright silver hammer.

After a night of meditation, he successfully found the mysterious feeling that the octagonal bright silver hammer had given him.

A unique protective barrier, unique to the octagonal bright silver hammer and capable of absolutely suppressing any negative effects, was created, and its name is—

"Let's straighten things out—"

"Eight-sided bright silver hammer, expand your domain."

"Forged through countless trials, an endless barrier."

As he threw the Arakami Fang into the air, the octagonal bright silver hammer in his shoulder bag flew out on its own and landed in Sakurai's hand.

An invisible aura of military power enveloped Sakurai, draping him in a thin veil of bright gold.

For one's own field, one must hone one's skills through countless trials and tribulations, building endless barriers.

A defensive domain that has absolutely nothing to do with the heavy warhammer, the Octagonal Bright Silver Hammer.

It can create a defensive barrier around Sakurai.

He ignored all curses and spells until the barrier was broken.

Protected by the barrier, he only acknowledges attacks that actually exist.

In gaming terms—

He, Eito Sakurai, has maxed-out magic resistance.

36. Sergeant Ghost, successfully recovered.

In fact, Sakurai initially thought he would develop an ability similar to the mountain god's manipulation of gravity, but perhaps because he was disgusted by that strange ability in two supernatural battles against god-level beings.

Or perhaps it was because the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer believed that Sakurai's own safety was more important after the Aragami Fang gained a domain for group combat.

What was ultimately created was a powerful defensive field that granted Sakurai incredible magic immunity.
