"This is quite a large project; it looks like we'll have to split it up."

Rikka Takanashi pondered for a moment and said.

"After finding the other party, do not act rashly. First, contact everyone, and it is best to defeat the enemy in one blow."

She made the arrangements.

“Takanashi-senpai, my power should be able to remove the other party’s ‘curse.’ Perhaps we can force the other party to show themselves through another method.”

After hesitating for a moment, Yotsuya Miko finally voiced her thoughts.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Judging from the bandaged monster's previous performance, its increased power most likely comes from the 'curse' of humans. It can be said that those people are now its flock of sheep, and it is the shepherd.

As the lambs keep disappearing, the shepherd must be the most anxious.

"Alright, let's change our plans then..."

The girl's smile grew even wider.

In a relatively remote neighborhood.

A figure was walking alone, completely covered in black.

Beneath the hood, a pair of dark eyes slowly opened, radiating a chilling and terrifying aura.

The bandaged monster sensed the presence of the living and was selecting the next person to receive the curse.

Its birth was quite miraculous.

Its original form was a self-immolator who was not far from death. He happened to meet a demon who wanted to possess his body and return to life. As a result, the two merged and created its existence.

It was cursed by the injustice of the world in its previous life, and now it will curse this unjust world.

All the seemingly miraculous encounters that seem like a windfall are traps set by it to satisfy its own twisted psychology.

"It's him."

The bandaged monster locked its gaze on a student who had just been bullied by classmates. It could fully sense the resentment hidden in the other person's heart. If it were to unleash a curse, it would be quite a nourishment for the monster.

Suddenly, it stopped and its expression changed.

In its perception, one of its 'cursed people' had mysteriously disappeared.

Did he die in an accident?

That's probably impossible, because after becoming a cursed person, the body infused with curse power, while not indestructible, is definitely not something that can be destroyed by ordinary means.

"..."

After thinking for a while, it decided to capture the human in front of it first.

Because of the special nature of the curse power, the selection of its users is quite demanding; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to transform so many cursed individuals.

"Just you wait, Fatty. When we meet tomorrow, I'll show you what the power of a damn bear really is!"

A few minutes later, the timid student, now empowered, excitedly turned and left.

But at this moment, the bandaged monster was not happy at all.

Because the number of people it cursed did not increase, but rather decreased.

Someone is targeting me!

The bandaged monster remembered the two girls who had stood in its way the night before, and a surge of curse power erupted from its body as it headed toward the direction where the curse power had disappeared.

As the foundation for its status as the 'King of Curses', the existence of cursed beings is indispensable!

So it had no choice but to go.

"Is it that woman?"

Arriving at a street, the bandaged man finally met the woman who could remove his curse.

"Excuse me, could you come out for a moment?"

Miko Yotsuya arrived at a convenience store with a friendly smile on her face.

"Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

The part-time female shop assistant tried her best to hide her impatience as she walked out.

Just as she walked into the blind spot of the camera, Yotsuya Miko suddenly appeared behind her and knocked her unconscious with a karate chop.

Subsequently, Yotsuya Miko used a spirit-removing technique on him that could expel the curse's power.

"You've angered me, you know that?"

"You will be cursed by this world...!"

As the cursed power emanated from the cursed man, the bandaged monster could no longer contain itself and charged forward. The aura emanating from its body was sinister and terrifying, spreading out as if one were in a cold, hellish place.

It was thought that the full power of its curse would frighten this tiny human.

To everyone's surprise, the girl looked up, her face completely expressionless, and simply said, "You've finally arrived."

"Is there any help?"

The bandaged man immediately realized something was wrong; several more auras of strangers suddenly appeared around him.

The girls appeared one by one, a total of six, blocking off all directions. Among them were two superpowered individuals that it had encountered before.

"You are surrounded."

Rikka Takanashi's gaze was as stern as if she were judging a criminal.

"Are you planning to gang up on us?"

The bandaged monster's hoarse voice came from his throat, more strained than usual.

"The wise man once said..."

Rikka Takanashi spoke first, and the others followed suit in unison.

"When dealing with evil spirits and heretics, there's no need to talk about chivalry or honor. Let's all charge forward side by side!"

Chapter 50: Activating the Backup Hidden Energy!

Just as the two sides were about to clash, an invisible barrier quietly covered the surrounding streets, isolating the air from the outside world and causing passersby to subconsciously ignore the situation on the street.

The Demon Rabbit sat on an empty bench, silently observing everything.

Undoubtedly, the team members' strategy was very successful, luring the enemy out of their hole and maximizing their own combat effectiveness.

"I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance."

Upon observation, Izumi Hasegawa sensed a familiar power fluctuation. She recalled an ordinary person who overestimated himself and challenged her after wearing a cursed artifact. She realized that the other person was the true holder of that power and had also greatly improved during this time.

Although the curse power is strange and its strength is extraordinary, this bandaged monster has not yet surpassed the essence of Class Two. If nothing unexpected happens, the girls, who have the advantage in numbers, should be able to defeat it relatively easily.

……

not far away.

Faced with the combined attack of multiple superpowered individuals, even the bandaged monster couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

It could sense the approximate intensity of life force and could vaguely deduce combat strength. Although the women around it were far inferior to itself, they were not to be underestimated. If it were careless, it, the future king of curses, might perish here.

"Take her down first!"

In those few seconds, it quickly adjusted its mindset and turned to prepare for a single-point breakthrough.

It understands that these humans always have too much kindness, and the female shop assistant just now made them hesitant to act against her.

Unexpectedly, Yotsuya Miko had already disappeared from the spot, secretly taking the female shop assistant away and hiding her whereabouts.

"what?"

"Then we'll have no choice but to confront them head-on."

The thought flashed through its mind, and it turned around to unleash its signature move—

Incantation.

In other words, it is to cast a curse through words. Of course, this is not a matter of words becoming law; it must follow the laws of reality. It is simply to release the power it originally possessed in a strange way.

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

An invisible curse was released through sound waves.

However, the girls had already learned of this information in advance and were naturally prepared. They all increased their spiritual power output and strengthened the defenses at their ears to block the effects of the spell.

"Our judgment was correct."

"It really works."

Ruri Gokou and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, feeling relieved that their physical abilities had only been slightly weakened.

"hateful."

The bandaged man was furious.

This method of killing on first sight becomes less effective once someone is prepared.

Next, we'll see how strong both sides are.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Rikka Takanashi clenched her right hand in front of her mouth, gathered her spiritual energy in her throat, and exhaled a ball of flame that coalesced into a giant fireball. The intense heat emitted billowing steam as it was launched like a giant bowling ball.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

With a loud shout, Sanae Tokomaru unleashed a burst of lightning, which gathered into a dazzling bolt of electricity and struck out.

"Holy Light".

Ruri Gokou gathered the light into a ball in her hand and shot out a beam of divine light.

"The Spear of Ice".

Snowflakes beneath the snow freeze the air, coalescing into a spear, which then becomes an arrow released from a bow.

Four people, each wielding a different elemental attack, struck almost simultaneously.

The bandaged monster dared not be careless, and gathered the power of the curse to form a huge shield in front of him.

Amidst the fierce clash of forces, the cursed power maintaining the shield clearly faltered briefly, almost being pierced through.

"Platinum Star's Serious Punch!"

Natsukawa Masuzu fixed her gaze on her stand and issued a command.

The Platinum Queen unleashed her overwhelming attack power and speed within her tier, unleashing a powerful punch!

As everyone expected, the punch finally pierced through the curse and struck the bandaged monster in the chest.

With a "bang," its body flew out and crashed into the wall diagonally behind it, creating a large hole and sending dust flying.

Even now, the girls' first wave of attacks is still not over.

Because of the cover provided by her teammates, Nibutani Morika began chanting on the spot, and it came to an end at this moment.

"Scattered beast bones, spires, crimson crystals, steel wheels—movement is the wind, stillness is emptiness; the sound of clashing spears fills the void city..."

"The Sixty-Three Thunder Roaring Cannons of Breaking the Way!"

A thunderous roar resounded through the sky, and the lightning in his hand, like a thunder dragon emerging from the earth, fell into the smoke.

Another loud explosion rang out inside the convenience store, shaking shelves to the side and shattering glass, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

This strike, delivered through complete incantation, was the most powerful of all the attacks launched so far.

At times like these, the girls no longer pursue their own 'unique characteristics,' but instead directly utilize the power of a more familiar and tangible system.

"Damn it, it even possesses the same power as me, Death, that damn imposter."

Sanae Tokomori looked resentful.

"That attack just now must have hit its mark."

"Solve it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita and Ruri Gokou approached.
