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

It is everything that this body can use.

With each punch landing with brutal force, Sakurai, driven by instinct, engaged in a protracted battle and tug-of-war with Kayako, who outnumbered him many times over.

He used everything he had, fighting until the boundless sea of ​​blood dried up, until the blood mist around him disappeared, until Sakurai no longer knew how much of Kayako's flesh and blood he had swallowed, until his brain could no longer think and only the instinct to fight and kill remained.

Even though his consciousness had been subdued, Sakurai ultimately won the crown of victory all by his own efforts.

This is--

The monster named Sakurai Eito is far more powerful and unreasonable than the ghost story of Kayako in the realm of combat.

"I've already said it, even if the battle were a thousand times or ten thousand times stronger... it would be a piece of cake."

With one hand supporting him on a bright red octagonal silver hammer, Sakurai knelt in a pool of blood. After suppressing his fighting instincts following the end of the battle, he regained his composure.

The dull-colored Aragami Fang lay to the side, its appearance somewhat somber.

Scattered corpses, all with the same pale faces, formed a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, filling the surrounding area.

These were all Kayako's clones, and countless foul-smelling corpses were laid out around them, each one killed with a single blow.

After an extremely long and arduous battle that even he himself was unaware of, Sakurai finally achieved a magnificent victory in this 1 vs. countless fight.

With nearly four-figure or even more deaths as leverage, he annihilated the endless stream of Kayakos.

Both sides suffered heavy losses; in this battle, there were no true victors.

but--

For Sakurai, he has already succeeded.

He defeated all the Kayakos that kept appearing.

Thinking this, Sakurai closed his eyes. This level of prolonged battle was unprecedented in both his lives. Kayako's goal...

Is this it?

They would exhaust his strength, then appear before him and devour him when he was too weak to fight any longer.

If that was your goal, then you succeeded.

In a war of attrition where both sides suffer heavy losses, Sakurai is truly exhausted.

However, if that's all there is to it, it's far from enough.

don't want--

You underestimated me.

Forcing your body to obey commands.

Regaining his composure, he stood up, and Sakurai opened his eyes again, his golden eyes filled with untamed arrogance.

He could never possibly yield to his enemies.

If you want to subdue him, you'll have to wait another 20,000 years.

"Come on, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. Let me see who can take down this tough nut between us."

"Now that things have come to this, you should understand that only one of us will ultimately make it out alive."

"Let's see if my immortality is stronger, or if your endless resentment as the Curse of the Dead is more incredible."

As expected, Sakurai gave the middle finger and loudly proclaimed the ghost story of Kayako.

54. A calculated move; Kayako's fan club believes this is a win-win situation.

Sakurai can confirm and be certain that Kayako is still alive and well.

Now it's quietly staring at you from somewhere in the corner, with that chilling, malicious gaze.

At all times...

Stare at yourself.

Like a shadow, always there.

This nagging, unsettling feeling, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, had followed him relentlessly ever since he fell into this blood-red world, sending chills down his spine.

Sakurai had to admit one thing: the complete ghost story was indeed disgusting to an inexplicable and indescribable degree.

It is unkillable and excessively strong, completely different from the three "half-finished" ghost stories before it.

Sakurai was on high alert.

It's almost there...

The black cat's hoarse meow rang in his ears, followed by a very faint chuckle that accompanied Sakurai's breathing.

Is something coming?

Sakurai understood, from somewhere he couldn't see.

Something has appeared in this boundless, blood-red world.

An unknown number of female corpses turned into black mist and dissolved in the air.

From nothing, accompanied by increasingly loud bubbling sounds, an enormous, towering, pale, semi-transparent woman, seemingly endless, quietly appeared before Sakurai.

Sakurai's height is so great that she can't even reach the top of her foot.

In fact, if it weren't for the almost tangible, malicious gaze, Sakurai wouldn't have even noticed her presence; she was simply too big.

It was so large that it could almost be said to have supported the world at this moment.

Is she the "tall woman" from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?

Could the resentment of that woman, who was unable to marry during her lifetime due to her extraordinary height, cause a fire after her death?

No, that's not right. This is the world of Ju-on; there can't be any other supernatural beings outside of Ju-on.

So, is this Kayako?

Is Kayako's true form such an excessively large being?

That would be a bit tricky.

I do not yet have any combat methods to deal with such a super-large enemy.

Ultimately, it's not something an ant can easily do in a short time if it wants to devour an elephant.

My current maximum size is only enough to deal with enemies about a hundred meters away.

This kayako...

It's too big.

After Sakurai noticed her presence.

The enormous, almost ethereal body gradually solidified and shrank, eventually becoming a ten-meter-tall form.

She looked down at Sakurai, her pale, scarred face contorted with rage.

In Sakurai's eyes, Kayako's face seemed to change like a kaleidoscope in an instant, finally settling on its original appearance.

Sakurai's image was reflected in those pitch-black pupils.

Judging from her expression, this was not the frustration of having her plan thwarted, but rather the joy and satisfaction of her scheme succeeding; she was laughing.

this is...

Kayako is the aggregate of the resentment of all those who have died because of the "Ju-on" curse.

If it's ten meters, it's still within my control.

Upon seeing this large Kayako, Sakurai immediately thought of this.

wrong...

Now is not the time to think about that.

The most urgent task now is to consider the reason behind Kayako's smug smile just now.

Thinking of this, Sakurai gave himself a shot without any doubt.

After going through the process of dying, triggering a read of the future timeline, and then being resurrected, Sakurai clearly understood Kayako's purpose.

Undoubtedly, he was forced to engage in a long battle with Kayako's clone according to her plan.

This was an open strategy; if he didn't want to be defeated by Kayako, he had to defeat her. Sakurai had no other choice.

From the very beginning, Kayako's strategy only had two options: success or great success.

He was completely outmaneuvered. In his confrontation with Kayako, he lost, and lost miserably.

After using this super cheating method of reading the future, Sakurai learned what had happened.

After Sakurai killed his son Saeki Toshio, Kayako realized something.

That is, Saeki Toshio, who should have been resurrected in her resentment, disappeared.

After that, her clones, Saeki Takeo, and every Ju-on who died at Sakurai's hands completely disappeared.

It's like it never existed.

From that moment on, Kayako made one thing clear.

It's as if Sakurai possesses an overly alluring attraction to the supernatural.

Sakurai's situation is quite unique in the context of ghost stories.

What's so special about it could almost be called a "great tonic" that people like them dream of.

then...

Kayako, the core of Ju-on, forcibly dragged him into her core world through a series of schemes, which is the realm that exists behind this haunted house.

Then, he materialized all his resentment into waves of clones and launched a suicidal attack on Sakurai.

If the clones could overwhelm Sakurai, then she would reap the greatest reward after becoming Ju-on.

If... Sakurai could achieve this impossible feat and kill all of her clones.

Then, she naturally achieved another goal that she had never expected.

In the end, Sakurai unexpectedly killed all of Kayako's clones.
