Chapter 32: Blade Curse Spirit
After finishing, the group arrived at the first floor of the shopping mall, which was filled with various gold and silver jewelry and brand-name chain stores.
Gazing at the mall, which was dozens of meters high and illuminated by bright, snow-white lights, a sense of awe couldn't help but well up in their hearts.
Just as they were preparing to take the elevator to the third floor to buy the dessert Satoru wanted to eat...
Alex Moyan sensed an anomaly.
"Eh? Why do I have a bad feeling today?"
Feeling puzzled, Alex Moyan couldn't help but activate the The Art of Spirits Observation to cover the entire mall.
In an instant, a flash of absolute white appeared in Alex Moyan's pupils.
This shade of white inspired fear, making one afraid to meet his gaze!
If Satoru's Six Eyes were the Eyes of the Azure Heaven, brilliant like a sea of stars and symbolizing the supremacy of the heavens looking down on everything...
...then Alex Moyan's The Art of Spirits Observation was the divinity of the heavens!
Absolute ruthlessness of heaven and earth!
Heaven and earth are heartless; they treat all things like stray dogs.
No, it should be equality—absolute equality!
An equality where all things are treated exactly the same!
Pairs of eyes that only Alex Moyan could perceive appeared throughout the mall.
Ornamental plants, fountains, people's lines of sight...
And... the blood of the dead!
Inside an office, a massive cursed womb suddenly appeared in Alex Moyan's vision.
The cursed womb was suspended in mid-air, nearly filling the office that could accommodate over a dozen people.
Yet, for such a massive cursed womb, the Cursed Energy it emitted was extremely faint, like a Grade 4 Cursed Spirit that was weak to the extreme.
But within Alex Moyan's The Art of Spirits Observation...
...what he saw was a boundless curse!
No wonder they hadn't noticed anything unusual despite being in the mall for so long!
"Damn it, this Special Grade Cursed Spirit is about to hatch!"
If he were alone, Alex Moyan would definitely be very excited.
Because he would be able to subdue another Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
But they were currently inside a mall, where there were at least several thousand people!
The destruction caused by a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, even for just an instant, would be enough to cost dozens of lives.
No, an emergency evacuation is necessary!
"Shoko, Suguru, evacuate the crowd quickly! A Special Grade Cursed Spirit has appeared here!"
Alex Moyan informed the three beside him with a solemn expression, his tone carrying a level of seriousness they had never heard since they met.
Although the three were confused, they believed Alex Moyan's words without hesitation.
Alex Moyan and Satoru shared a look and, with tacit understanding, launched attacks at several empty spots, creating loud explosions.
Telling everyone all at once that there was danger here, almost the vast majority wouldn't believe it.
But as long as there was a commotion, everyone would evacuate urgently for their own safety.
Boom! A massive explosion rang out inside the mall.
Everyone was startled at first, and then panic began to set in.
Humans—even a sharpened branch could take their lives, let alone these sudden explosions and unknown threats.
Countless ordinary people on the upper floors of the mall were suddenly picked up by something, suspended in mid-air, and quickly brought from the upper floors to the ground floor.
Before they could regain their senses, they heard evacuation instructions from Shoko and the staff.
At this moment, Geto Suguru was manipulating Cursed Spirits to quickly transport ordinary people from the upper levels of the mall to the bottom.
And Alex Moyan, beside him, was also manipulating Cursed Spirits.
This took Geto Suguru by surprise.
But the situation was urgent now; there was no time to think about that.
The reason Alex Moyan didn't hesitate to reveal his Cursed Spirit Manipulation...
...first, was to save people; second, was because he trusted Geto Suguru, so revealing it was fine.
Third, and most importantly: "So what if I'm exposed? What the hell can you do about it?"
He hadn't revealed it before not because he was afraid, but simply out of consideration for Geto Suguru.
If Geto Suguru found out about his Limitless Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique, he would probably start questioning his life.
In a more serious case, it might even leave a lasting shadow on him.
Then, Alex Moyan summoned Oni Mask.
As soon as he appeared, he was almost taken out by Satoru; fortunately, Satoru recognized that Oni Mask's Cursed Energy belonged to Alex Moyan.
A large number of chains flew out from behind Oni Mask. Under the shared vision of Alex Moyan's The Art of Spirits Observation, he began to quickly transport people from the upper floors downward.
The group was very fast, and in a short while, they had transported hundreds of people.
Oni Mask, in particular, was incredibly efficient. Alex Moyan's only requirement for him was: as long as they aren't dead or crippled and can run on their own, it's fine.
Consequently, almost everyone saved by Oni Mask would cry out in pain.
In contrast to Geto Suguru, who was very gentle and handled them with care.
But the mall was massive, consisting of more than just the building they were in.
And now, they no longer had time to go to the next building to save people.
The Cursed Spirit had been born!
—————
A strange, shrill laugh came from the top floor. Coming into the four's view was a burly Special Grade Cursed Spirit that was very similar to Hanami in appearance and build.
The only difference was that Hanami had two tree roots growing where the eyes should be.
Whereas this Cursed Spirit had blood-stained blades at its eyes and ears.
Terrifying, shocking, and sharp!
It looked a lot like a monster with blades on its face from a movie Alex Moyan had seen in his past life, Silent Hill.
The Blade Curse Spirit's arms were like blades, as if it were a humanoid monster made of knives.
With a sudden swing from the Blade Curse Spirit, a sharp flash of blade light streaked past!
With a thunderous crash, the originally massive mall building was sliced in half!
The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
"You've got to be kidding! This kind of power! How is that possible?!"
Shoko Ieiri's beautiful face was filled with shock and horror as she looked at the Blade Curse Spirit on the upper floor.
Her pupils trembled slightly; it seemed Shoko Ieiri had been badly frightened by the destructive power the Blade Curse Spirit had just displayed.
This kind of power far exceeded that of an ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirit!
A monster of this level was something even Satoru and Geto Suguru were seeing for the first time.
"Holy crap?"
Alex Moyan wore an expression as if he had just eaten feces, looking like he had seen something that left him utterly speechless.
Through the The Art of Spirits Observation, he had just discovered that more than half of the ordinary people he had spent so much effort saving were crushed to death by the falling building!
"You son of a bitch, you're finished! You're dead! Once I subdue you, see if I don't whip your ass every single day!"
Alex Moyan clenched his fists and growled in anger, wishing he could tear the Blade Curse Spirit in front of him into ten thousand pieces!
Beside him, Oni Mask—Alex Moyan's only Special Grade Cursed Spirit subordinate and his number one lackey—jumped out.
"Master, leave this kind of thing to me. I guarantee I'll whip him every day, ensuring you feel relieved and satisfied."
Hearing Oni Mask's voice, Alex Moyan agreed.
"Fine, I'll leave this fellow to you for training in the future."
"You have to teach him to be well-behaved. Don't let him be like today—the people I worked so hard to save were directly ruined by him, damn it!"
"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Forget it, I'm going to kill him!"
Thinking this, Alex Moyan charged straight ahead.
Looking at the Blade Curse Spirit's swaying head and posture, even though it had no eyes...
...Alex Moyan could feel that the other party was mocking and teasing him.
It was also showing off its recent masterpiece, enjoying Alex Moyan's exasperated state.
The more Alex Moyan looked, the angrier he became; his rage almost blew his top.
Dammit, I'm definitely killing you today!
