Curse Returns, a gamble from the start, I awaken dual spells

Chapter 149: The Battle Begins

The sound of metal shattering from the roller shutter door still echoed in the air, but Fuheishen's figure had already disappeared through the doorway.

The man's pupils contracted sharply.

He couldn't see Fuhesh's movement trajectory, nor could he even catch a glimpse of his afterimage.

That speed had surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could track; it was purely a product of physical strength reaching its peak.

The next second, a muffled thud came from behind the shelf.

Itachi's body flew sideways, smashing through the wall behind the convenience store, and he was buried in the rubble.

"Itadaki!" Fushiguro Megumi's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

He quickly formed hand seals, and a huge white dog-shaped shikigami leaped out of the shadows, opening its blood-red maw to bite at Fuheishen's neck.

But Fuhesh didn't even turn around.

He threw a backhand punch, slamming it into the shikigami's cheek.

boom!

The enormous dog-like creature let out a mournful howl, its entire body tumbling twice in the air before crashing to the ground and vanishing into a black shadow.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Fushiguro Megumi's mouth; the backlash from forcibly scattering his shikigami had turned his face pale. He gritted his teeth, his hands forming hand seals once more, preparing to summon the next shikigami.

"That's enough!"

Rihito's voice boomed through the ruins.

His body appeared like a gray lightning bolt, instantly appearing between Fuheishen and Fuhei Hui, a ball of azure magical power gathering in his right palm.

"Zero coffin!"

The white frost spread like a living thing, wrapping around Fu Heishen'er's legs.

This time, Rito infused more magical power into the frost, making it several times thicker and stronger than before, with even a fine gray pattern forming on its surface.

Fuheishen lowered his head, looking at the frost wrapped around his legs, and frowned slightly.

He raised his right leg and stomped down hard.

The ice made a crisp cracking sound, and cracks spread outward from the foothold, but it did not completely shatter.

Fuhei Shener looked up and looked directly at Rito for the first time.

There was a hint of excitement in those eyes, similar to that of a hunter spotting his prey.

At this moment, Rito's heart was pounding violently in his chest, and the consumption of his curse power was much greater than expected.

But he had no choice; facing Fuhesh, any reservation would be tantamount to suicide.

Just then, Fuheshchen moved.

He leaned his body to the left, lowered his center of gravity, and then exerted force suddenly.

boom!

The ice beneath their feet shattered instantly, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.

His right fist, carrying pure physical power, hurtled towards Rito's chest like a cannonball.

Li Ren had no time to dodge and could only cross his arms in front of his chest to block.

boom!

The sound of fists colliding echoed through the underground passage.

Rito's body flew backward, crashing into another wall behind the convenience store, and bricks and dust covered him.

His arms were numb, and a bloody gash appeared between his thumb and forefinger, with blood dripping from his fingertips.

"Riri!" Itadori's voice came from not far away.

Li Ren turned his head and saw Hu Zhang climbing up from the pile of bricks and stones, his face covered in dust and blood, but his eyes were still bright and sharp.

"I'm fine." Rito stood up, shaking her numb arms. "How are you?"

"He won't die." Itajimaru grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "That guy's punches are really heavy."

Megumi Fushiguro stood beside the two of them again, and the three of them stood side by side, facing the man standing in the ruins of the convenience store.

Fuhesh did not rush to attack.

He simply stood there, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three of them.

There was no emotion in those eyes, as if they were sizing up three pieces of merchandise waiting to be slaughtered.

"Spread out," Rihito said in a low voice. "Don't give him the chance to wipe them all out at once."

Huzhang nodded and moved his body five meters to the left.

Fushiguro Megumi moved to the right, her hands already forming a new hand seal. The three of them formed a triangular formation, surrounding Fushiguro Shinobu in the center.

But Voxel didn't even move a step.

Rito took a deep breath and launched the first attack.

The cursed power within him erupted instantly, and he transformed into a gray shadow, attacking towards Fuheshen'er's left side.

At the same time, Itachi swung a fist from the right, carrying scarlet curse power, aiming straight for Fuheishen's waist and abdomen.

Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami swooped down from the sky, its sharp claws aimed straight for Fushiguro Shinobu's nape.

A pincer attack from three sides, perfectly coordinated.

But Fuhesh only turned slightly to the side.

He raised his right arm and precisely blocked the man's attack.

He bent his left elbow and slammed it into Huzhang's fist.

Then, without looking back, it leaned back, its claws grazing his nose.

The movements were fluid and graceful, without the slightest excess.

Rito felt as if his fist had hit a metal plate, and the force of the recoil made his wrist go numb.

Before he could retract his arm, Fuheshchen's right leg swept over.

boom!

Rito's body was swept away, crashing into a lamppost beside the street. The iron lamppost let out a piercing groan and bent at a ninety-degree angle.

The condition of the Japanese knotweed is not much better.

After his punch was blocked by Fuheshel, he lost his balance, and Fuheshel's counterattack followed.

Huzhang's body slid backward several meters, leaving two charred marks on the ground with the soles of his shoes, before finally coming to a stop by crashing into an abandoned car.

"Itadaki!" Fushiguro Megumi's voice was urgent.

He gritted his teeth and made hand seals even faster.

On the ground, a black shikigami resembling a rhinoceros slowly rose from the shadows, its body covered in black scales and with a huge single horn on its head.

"Giant Serpent!"

The shikigami roared, lowered its head, and charged fiercely towards Fukushige.

Every step he took left a cracked footprint on the ground.

A strange light flashed in Fuheishen's eyes.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, he shifted his feet and dodged to the side.

But the serpent was enormous, and no matter how fast he dodged, its single horn still grazed past Fuhesh'er's shoulder.

Hiss!

Fuheshen's clothes were torn at the shoulder, revealing a shallow bloodstain.

That was the first time anyone had hurt him since the start of the war.

Fuhe Shen'er looked down at the wound on his shoulder and paused for a moment.

Then he smiled.

The next second, his body disappeared from the spot.

Fukuhei Megumi's pupils contracted sharply. Before he could react, Fukuhei Shen'er had already appeared in front of him.

A punch landed on his stomach.

Fushiguro Megumi's body arched like a shrimp, smashed through the only remaining wall of the convenience store, and was buried in the bricks and stones.

"Fukuguro!!" Itachi's voice was filled with anger.

He struggled to his feet from beside the car, the magical power within him beginning to boil.

His eyes glowed red, and black lines appeared on his skin.

The situation is completely out of control.

The three men were forced into retreat, proving to be no match for Fuhesh.

Rito stood up from the wreckage of the lamppost and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His gaze was fixed on Fuheshen'er's figure, and the curse power within his body began to circulate at a special frequency.

There's nothing we can do.

He slowly raised his hands and made a complex gesture.

The curse power began to circulate within the body along a specific trajectory, and the surrounding air began to feel heavy.

"Domain Expansion"

His voice echoed through the ruins.
