Opening Five Gates in Succession! Brutal!

"This time, I won't let you get away again."

Geto Suguru used Cursed Spirit Manipulation, releasing dozens of powerful Cursed Spirits, including one Special Grade.

"So it's you. I won't lose to you now!"

The Cursed Spirit turned its head to look at Geto Suguru, saying confidently.

It felt terrifyingly strong right now.

"Is that so?" Geto Suguru chuckled.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he became. It was worth bringing the members of the Geto clan along this time.

"Hey, kid Geto, this guy is my prey. Don't you even think about it, or I'll use your Cursed Spirits to make up for it."

Shinsuke Zenin picked up a broken piece of Play Cloud from the ground and warned Geto Suguru.

"Hmm? You again? You stole my prey last time, and you want to steal it again?"

Seeing Shinsuke Zenin, Geto Suguru's expression soured, and he immediately remembered the incident where the Mountain Demon King was stolen.

"This time, it won't be stolen by you again."

Ignoring Shinsuke Zenin's warning, Geto Suguru waved his hand, ordering dozens of Cursed Spirits to attack the Special Grade.

"Roar!"

"Come on, come on! Make me stronger!"

The Special Grade Cursed Spirit lunged forward, swinging its fists and engaging these Cursed Spirits in a melee, wanting to unleash its previous attack again.

"Tch, you were the one who stole my prey, weren't you?"

Shinsuke Zenin looked at the Play Cloud in his hand, wondering if he should sharpen it like Toji.

But if he did that, wouldn't this cursed tool worth five hundred million be ruined?

If he took it back like this, it could at least be repaired.

"Forget it, it can still be used after repairs. I can give it to Maki later."

Thinking this, Shinsuke Zenin flashed and appeared beside Kusakabe and the others, handing the broken Play Cloud to him for safekeeping.

"Teacher Kusakabe, please hold onto my weapon for me."

Learning from Toji's one-time use method wasn't quite right.

"Oh, oh, okay!"

Kusakabe took the blood-stained Play Cloud, looking a bit bewildered. "Um, what do we do now?"

"Should we retreat first, or wait for Satoru Gojo to arrive?"

This Cursed Spirit probably couldn't be dealt with quickly. It had even unleashed Black Flash. After the Cursed Technique Burnout ended in a while, its strength would likely become even more terrifying when it recovered its technique.

Kusakabe thought that since Geto Suguru was here, as long as they didn't get caught in the crossfire, he could just let Geto Suguru have this Cursed Spirit at worst, at least preventing any casualties.

Or they could wait for Satoru Gojo to arrive and exorcise this Cursed Spirit.

Hearing this, Shinsuke Zenin looked at Kusakabe, then at Utahime and Meimei.

"That's true. We still have injured people here. We need to get back quickly."

Shinsuke Zenin walked towards Meimei, staring at the large axe beside her, and asked, "This axe is also a cursed tool, right? Can I borrow it for a while?"

Although Play Cloud was powerful, it was ultimately a blunt weapon. He needed a sharper weapon to save effort.

"Use it as you please. You don't have to pay if you break it."

Meimei generously handed him the axe.

It was just an axe, nothing compared to the life-saving favor he had given her.

"Thanks."

Taking the axe, Shinsuke Zenin stretched his body slightly, looking at the chaotic battle of dozens of Cursed Spirits in the distance with some excitement. "Kid Geto, I already gave you a chance."

Since he didn't cherish it, Shinsuke Zenin wouldn't be polite either.

"Let's end this quickly."

His body trembled, and a powerful, scorching airflow erupted from Shinsuke Zenin's center.

Gate of Limit—Open!

With the five gates opened instantly, terrifying Bloodline Power instantly filled his entire body. His muscles bulged, his skin turned crimson, and veins appeared on his body, looking extremely terrifying.

The powerful aura pushed Kusakabe and the others back several meters.

"Boom—!"

His toes lightly touched the ground, and the ground within a radius of several meters instantly caved in, cracking like a spiderweb.

The next moment, Shinsuke Zenin's figure appeared in the center of the Cursed Spirits.

"Die."

He swung the axe, his figure turning into an afterimage, weaving through the Cursed Spirits.

"Bang bang bang bang--!!!"

In an instant, all the Cursed Spirits, including the Special Grade, exploded.

"How is that possible?!"

Before several of them could even react to what had happened, the Cursed Spirits had already turned into blood mist.

"What's going on!"

Geto Suguru's expression changed drastically, and he quickly recalled his Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

Fortunately, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's strength was still online; half of its body had exploded, but it could still be salvaged. The other dozens of Cursed Spirits were completely finished.

"Damn it!! Human! You weren't using your full power just now!!"

Only one Cursed Spirit remained on the scene, letting out a roar.

Using its recently recovered Cursed Technique, it had barely managed to dodge the opponent's slaughter.

It quickly restored its severed arm while simultaneously using its Cursed Technique to construct two lightning swords.

"I will not be defeated!!"

Wrapped in lightning, this Cursed Spirit intended to evolve again.

"Screech!"

The next second, Shinsuke Zenin, radiating Bloodline Power, blurred past it like an afterimage. His great axe tore through the air, and a bloody line appeared on the Cursed Spirit's body.

"Impossible!!"

As its body was about to split in half, the Cursed Spirit erupted with potent Cursed Energy, pulling its two halves back together.

As long as the treatment was timely, it still had a chance!

It could still become stronger!

"Swish swish swish swish...!"

However, Shinsuke Zenin gave it no opportunity.

So you have amazing recovery abilities, huh?

Let's see who's faster, you recovering or me cutting.

Everyone could only see a shadow repeatedly colliding with the Cursed Spirit, with blood splashing from its arms, limbs, and torso. It was a true scene of gore, and for a moment, it was hard to tell who the villain was.

"Crack!"

Finally, the Cursed Spirit could no longer recover because its body was gone, or rather, it had become a pile of minced meat.

In the last second before its consciousness vanished, it sank deep and saw Shinsuke Zenin.

"You are strong, but you were unlucky to meet me."

This was a Cursed Spirit with immense potential. Unfortunately, its strength hadn't reached its peak before it was discovered. Otherwise, it might have been a bit troublesome.

"..."

After reviewing its entire life, the Cursed Spirit lost its final consciousness.

Cursed Spirits like it couldn't truly die. As long as humans harbored primal fear towards natural disasters, it could be born again.

It would appear again, but would it still be itself the next time?

Would it still pursue greater strength?

"You damn guy, I definitely won't let you succeed next time!"

Geto Suguru looked at his tragically dead Special Grade Cursed Spirit with a grave expression. What was the situation with this guy? Why were all his plans always thwarted by the other party!

There was no choice; the plan had failed again, and Geto Suguru could only choose to retreat, pushing his original plan back.

He had initially thought he could add a powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirit, but instead, he lost dozens of them.

On the other hand, Shinsuke Zenin didn't care what Geto Suguru was thinking.

A powerful surge of heat flowed from the scriptures into his limbs and bones, finally entering the acupoints of the Gate of View.

[Gate of View 3%--15%]

This directly raised the unlock progress of the Gate of View from 3% to 15%, the fastest progress increase ever.

A not-weak Special Grade Cursed Spirit, plus several Grade 1 Cursed Spirits among Geto Suguru's dozens of Cursed Spirits, allowed him to improve so much in an instant.

"Hoo..."

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Shinsuke Zenin returned to his normal state, sighing with emotion.

"Cursed Spirits are good things; I must kill them..."
