Who Are You Trying to Seduce?

Whoosh!

Amid the howling gale, a vicious mantis-like cursed spirit suddenly pounced down from a tree, lunging at Todo Aoi, who lay on the ground.

This cursed spirit was not particularly high-grade, probably Grade 2. Under normal circumstances, Todo Aoi could have easily dealt with it with a casual punch.

But now, Todo Aoi was covered in wounds and could barely even move. He could only watch helplessly as the mantis cursed spirit pounced on him, its sharp forelimbs about to pierce his skull and kill him in one blow.

Buzz!

Just then, a flash of blue light appeared, and an astonishing gravitational force sucked the mantis cursed spirit away, dragging it into the air. Immediately afterward, another flash of red light struck it, causing a terrifying repulsive force opposite to the gravitational pull to act upon it, tearing and crushing it apart.

Bang!

The next second, the mantis cursed spirit exploded on the spot, turning into a bewitching spray of blood.

Only then did Riezel appear beside Todo Aoi. He extended one hand toward him, releasing a surge of cursed energy.

This was reversed cursed energy, filled with positive energy. The instant it fell upon Todo Aoi, it seemed to regenerate his flesh, healing the wounds across his body at a visible rate.

"Quit lying there. Get up."

Riezel kicked Todo Aoi, snapping him out of it. Todo Aoi hurriedly got to his feet.

"Eek!"

Another cry rang out nearby.

It was Miwa Kasumi's voice.

Ever since Riezel had unleashed that breathtaking slash, the girl had been frozen in place, unable to move at all. Now, she was surrounded by several cursed spirits. Caught off guard, she was licked across the cheek by the long tongue of a frog-like cursed spirit. She screamed in terror, nearly passing out.
