Overwhelming Cursed Energy poured ceaselessly into Mai Zenin, rampaging through her body.
"Aaaah!!!"
The intense pain made Mai Zenin cry out despite herself.
It was as though all the Cursed Energy that had been imprisoned over her seventeen years of life was being poured into her body at once.
"No... I can't hold on much longer... I really can't fit any more in-"
If she could not find a way to expend this Cursed Energy, she might actually burst on the spot.
Yet at the same time, misfortune piled upon misfortune.
The Cursed Energy inside Mai Zenin grew increasingly restless, churning wildly without pause.
Moreover, this churning Cursed Energy even showed signs of flowing backward through the connection and into Maki.
"This is bad!!!"
Akutagawa Shang's expression changed drastically as well.
He could feel Mai's Cursed Energy beginning to surge outward through his body.
He tried to move his palm away, attempting to sever the connection between the two of them.
But it did no good whatsoever.
After the linking of their Cursed Energy just now, he had become the intermediary connecting point, fully joined with the sisters as one.
Separating them physically could not stop the flow of Cursed Energy at all.
"F**k!!!"
Akutagawa Shang cursed inwardly.
He was frantic now, too. If he really allowed Mai's Cursed Energy to flow back into Maki at this point, all their previous efforts would come to nothing.
Within the same Cursed Energy circuit, Maki and Mai instantly noticed the abnormal energy fluctuations as well, their expressions turning grave in unison.
"What do we do now...?"
Maki asked softly.
Although she was deeply concerned too, she knew that panicking now would accomplish nothing except adding pressure.
Moreover, they both knew that Akutagawa Shang was the only one who could resolve this predicament,
