Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 279 Captain’s Responsibilities

Ming Naka's voice echoed slightly, and every word she uttered exploded in the air like thunder.

The atmosphere was so cold that it was almost freezing.

Toosaka Hideno's face was extremely gloomy.

The standard "Qianli" in his hand burned out completely, and white fragments scattered into the air.

There was a clacking sound between his teeth and his clenched fists were shaking slightly.

The next moment, lift your right foot and step forward.

despair--

Someone suddenly grabbed Tōsaka Hideno's wrist.

"...Tsuruna." He didn't look back at the person behind him and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Don't tell me you want to go against the "Special Grade" - or three of them." Tsuruna frowned tightly, and the silver studs on her earlobes flashed brightly.

——It’s not a “special grade curse”, but a “special grade magician”.

——Thousands of years ago, he was an "ancient sorcerer" famous in the world of sorcery.

Toosaka Hideno's bangs fell down, slightly covering his eyes. He spoke in a normal tone: "I am in charge of this team... The personnel deployment is very clear--"

Tsuruna let out a light sigh.

Toosaka Hideno said slowly: "I, a "first-level magician", have become the backbone of this place."

He has been rated as "Level 1" for eight years, and his strength is indeed far superior to that of ordinary Level 1 magicians.

but……

"But——" Tsuruna began.

"No 'buts', Tsuruna." Toosaka Hideno interrupted her rarely.

"…This is the captain's responsibility." He raised his left hand, covered the back of Tsuruna's hand that was grasping his, and gently moved it away.

bass!

There was a sudden violent shaking in Tsuruna's pocket, and something seemed to be surging and churning.

At the same time, pure white Qi overflowed from his pocket.

The two of them looked down there almost at the same time.

Tsuruna was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the different talisman paper.

The talisman engraved with auspicious cloud patterns swayed rapidly. Compared with the previous "Qianli" talisman, the "Qi" it contained was more intense.

"Attention, the team in northern Shibuya—"

A peaceful voice slowly came out from "Qianli", sounding very young.

The two of them couldn't hide their surprise and looked at each other for a moment.

"The enemy outside the cursed spirit tide that has entered the tent is preliminarily estimated to be an ancient magician who has taken on a new body. Please search for nearby teammates and leave the place I mentioned, the farther the better..."

Toosaka Hideno didn't hesitate, he grabbed Tsuruna and used all his strength to unleash the cursed power.

Miss Tsuruna was suddenly picked up and was a little slow to react. She quickly raised her hand and grabbed the flying "Chisato". "——Hey, where are we going?!"

The gust of wind created by Tousaka Hideno's sudden outburst was so strong that it blew her golden bangs into a mess.

"Go find Shota, Takeshiro and the others! Then evacuate--" Toosaka Hideno did not slow down at all, and the fire in his eyes was bright and dazzling.

He then added: "Akinaxiang didn't cry just now... proves that those two guys are definitely not dead!"

The wind whistles in my ears.

Tsuruna was calm at this time. She looked at Toosaka Hideno who was holding her. The guy had a handsome profile, his eyes were excited, and he seemed to be a little relieved.

"...I thought you were determined to die." She dropped one arm, turned her head to the side, and murmured in a very low voice.

"Ha, if I can save everyone's life without dying... isn't this the best!"

Toosaka Hideno was not shy about it, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

-

A considerable number of ancient magicians appeared in Shibuya, among whom there were three "special grade" ones.

First, the stone dragon.

An ancient sorcerer who lived four hundred years ago and was active in the Mutsu region, was said to have the strongest cursed energy output in the history of the Date domain.

The second one is Wu Lu Hengzi.

An ancient magician from thousands of years ago, the leader of the Hi, Moon, and Stars Squadron, an assassination unit directly under the Fujiwara clan. Based on the time calculation, she should have seen Sukuna in his prime.

And the third one——

-

Shibuya, Yoyogi Hachimangu Shrine.

A human figure slowly emerged from the ruins.

He walked out of the dark wooden house in a white uniform jacket, his face calm. In one hand he held the narrow "Murasame", with clear water oozing from the blade, carrying blood stains down.

Behind him, a withered corpse fell to the ground, and the strong cursed power emanating from his body proved that he was no ordinary person.

The corpse was still oozing blood, covering a small area of ​​the ground.

——The third “Special Grade” is Duruf Lakdawala.

In the second century AD, when the East Ocean was in turmoil, he was a meritorious veteran who single-handedly suppressed the islands.

It is said that he has two independent shikigami.

Okkotsu Yuta wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand, looked up at the sky, and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky.

The specially made "Qianli" in front of him floated slowly.

"This is Yuta Otsutsukota. Please ask the northern teams to evacuate from around Hachimangu Shrine as soon as possible and support other fronts—"

He paused for a moment, his eyes glancing at the shadow beside him.

——There is something there.

"Also, the ancient sorcerer, Duruf Lakdawala, died."

The talisman suddenly fluctuated abnormally and moved to the side unnaturally.

call.

The air behind Yuta Okkotsu suddenly fluctuated slightly.

A beautiful figure flashed behind him without him noticing.

The man was hanging upside down in the air, his long pink and purple hair completely hanging down due to gravity.

She put her palm to her mouth and whispered to Otsutsuki, "I heard that you are the descendant of the four great vengeful spirits..."

The voice was gentle, with a hint of teasing.

Okkotsu Yuta suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Shiny——

The air not far away suddenly twisted.

boom! !

The next moment, a violent explosion occurred instantly, chasing all the way towards where Otsutsuki was.

The low wooden houses exploded one after another, and the hard bluestone floors were shattered into slag powder.

In the dust, Otsutsuki retreated quickly and avoided most of the impact, at least staying away from the center of the "explosion".

Yuta Otsutsukotsu stood in a shallow pit, moving his right arm to block the impact.

——That wasn’t just a simple “explosion”.

...To put it bluntly, it's more like "twisting something together."

The next moment, the figure flashed in front of him again and punched him in the face. Otsukoshi quickly turned his head and raised his right hand to hit the opponent's side with an uppercut.

The expected impact did not come, and the hook punch that was brewing with considerable cursed power missed the target, just like hitting a ball of cotton.

The straight punch thrown by the woman unexpectedly landed on the side of Otsutsuki's face. He tilted his head at an angle enough to dodge it, but for some reason he was still hit by the other party.

The woman seemed to be grabbing something with her right hand and pulling it hard behind her, and a small piece of space seemed to be "deformed" along with it.

The waves in the air were strangely distorted.

Yuta Otsutsuki noticed that his right arm was also twisted and stretched - but there was no pain or discomfort at all.

The distance between the two of them was suddenly "closed", and the woman raised her right elbow, slightly pushed forward, and landed heavily on Otsukasa's cheek.

The space becomes increasingly distorted at the point of contact.

Boom!

The woman's elbow hit Otsutsuki hard in the face, and he stepped back to create some distance.

----

(The Kyoto team also made an appearance. I was worried that if I wrote too much about it, I would be criticized for not being able to distinguish the main from the secondary. But I felt it would be a shame to not write about the characters at all...)

(I personally like the character of Kyoto captain Tousaka Hideno, who is rigorous but not rigid, principled but flexible.)
