The bearer of ghosts and gods who return the spell

Now that he has come to such a world and possesses magical power, it is almost inevitable that he can no longer live a life like ordinary people, so he should not go back to Sakuragao.

In terms of spells, you still need professional guidance, and a spell college is the best choice.

Now the summoning speed of the two shikigami he holds: Kazan of Soul Blade and Kaija of Afterimage has been increased to 0.5 seconds.

There is still room for improvement, but the speed of improvement is much slower than at the beginning. There is nothing we can do about it, we can only take it slowly.

After continuous practice, Kazan's range of influence has become larger than before. It is now about 11 meters. I don't know whether it is because I have become more proficient in controlling the magic power or the range has been improved through other means.

His injury was almost healed, and after careful consideration, he decided to go to the park again.

These days he has a guess.

It is very likely that Kaija of the Afterimage will show its special effect only when a curse spirit is present, so we can only find one to test it.

It was still past 11 o'clock in the evening. After there was no movement in Yui's room, he quietly slipped out.

There is no use telling her this kind of thing, but it will make her worry.

Soma Josuke would not do anything that was not beneficial.

It’s the familiar park bench again.

He once again came to the place where he fought the curse spirit before.

The traces of the battle here have actually been repaired.

The numerous potholes have been filled in, and the broken stone slabs have been replaced with new ones.

Even the vegetation next to it has been replanted.

Logically speaking, this park is in an abandoned state and should be left unattended.

The last attack of the curse covered a very large area, almost the size of a basketball court. This kind of repair work requires manpower and material resources.

There are no caring people who would spend money to do public works in a place like this.

However, this was just a minor episode for Souma Josuke, and he began to explore this area.

This time, my luck seemed a bit bad. I went around the park and found no trace of the cursed spirit.

In fact, the park is not the most haunted place by curse spirits.

Generally speaking, there are curse spirits in places with many people.

After all, curse spirits are generated by people's negative emotions. Hospitals, schools, factories or office buildings with a lot of overtime are places where curse spirits gather.

Chapter 7 Summer Oil

It's the 21st century now.

In this era of widespread surveillance, people's every move is basically under surveillance. Even if they are hiding at home, who can guarantee that no one will know what they are doing.

He didn't want to be photographed dancing in an empty hospital or school in the middle of the night.

Even if you are not considered a thief, there is a high possibility that you will be sent to a research center for abnormal humans.

Just when Souma Josuke was considering whether to go back like this, very clear footsteps came from the darkness.

The owner of the voice did not hide himself deliberately, but seemed to let him find out on purpose.

Not long after, a man wearing a [Five-striped cassock] with a half-crown hair style appeared in front of Souma Josuke with a smile on his face.

If people who are not familiar with him see his kind face and the cassock he is wearing, they might believe him even if he is said to be the reincarnation of the Living Buddha.

"Sangma-kun, this is the first time we meet. My name is Xia Youjie."

In fact, there was no need for him to introduce himself. From the moment he walked out of the darkness, Souma Josuke had already tensed up his muscles.

Xia Youjie is one of the only four super-level spellcasters in the world of magic. His magic technique is the magic of magic.

As its name suggests, the technique can control curse spirits, even special-level ones, and there is no limit on the number.

But the premise is that the curse spirit must be turned into a curse spirit ball and eaten first.

According to his own description, the taste was like swallowing a rag that had been used to wipe vomit.

Just by imagining, you can know how disgusting it must be. In a sense, Xia Youjie is really admirable.

He is Gojo Satoru's only close friend, and the two of them are also special-level conjurers in the same class of the Conjuring College.

The students of that class can even be said to be the strongest class in the past 20 years.

But later, for some reasons, Xia Youjie betrayed the college.

The two had different ideas and parted ways. It would be more accurate to call Xia Youjie the Curse Master now.

He believed in creating a paradise for magicians, and all hairless monkeys except magicians should be exterminated.

Soma Josuke was speechless at this idea.

Compared to ordinary people, it is an overstatement for magicians to say that they are unique.

If, as he imagined, only conjurers were left in the world, then species extinction would not be far away.

Overall, he's a complete lunatic.

Soma Josuke doesn't know if he has the habit of reading comics. After all, "Dr. STONE" is also being serialized in this world.

"...Sōma-kun, you possess great power, and your power should be used for a greater purpose."

"We are simply the best partners. If your special shikigami serves my army of curse spirits, what a powerful combination it will be..."

Xia Youjie calmly talked about his desired future, and you could feel a vague sense of pleasure from his words.These calm words made Soma Josuke feel very nervous.

He didn't know when and how his abilities were exposed to Xia Youjie.

Apart from practicing at home, I only used it that night.

No matter which one it is, it means that he is under Xia Youjie's surveillance.

"...We are all strong, and the strong should not have to adapt to the weak."

"Come on, Souma-kun, let's create a new world with only magicians."

Just when Souma Josuke didn't know what to do, the system appeared again.

[Start triggering task selection]

【please choose】

[1. Reject Xia Youjie’s invitation and persist under him for 1 minute, and you will be rewarded with 2 random shikigami*. 】

[2. Accept Xia Youjie’s invitation and work hard for the new world (no betrayal), and you will be rewarded with Spell Reversal Kazan*1. 】

[Please make your choice within 3 seconds, otherwise option 2 will be automatically selected]

This system simply makes it difficult to choose.

Why do you like 3 seconds so much?

These two options are not marked with the risk of death, so no matter what Souma Josuke chooses, there is still a way out.

It is worth noting that the rewards for both tasks are extraordinary.

The reward for the first option is equivalent to completing the previous two tasks. According to the current progress, there should only be a few shikigami left.

Although the second option only has a reward for reversing the spell, if you can learn the reversal of the spell, it is equivalent to learning how to operate the reversal spell.

The inversion technique multiplies the negative energy of the spell in a way that creates positive energy, thereby obtaining positive energy suitable for healing.

Having this ability is like having a portable medical baby, so you no longer have to worry about getting hurt.

There is even a chance to use this ability to deduce the reversal techniques of other shikigami, and the second option seems to be more accessible.

However, the choice is not easy to make.

If he chooses the first option, he doesn't know what he will encounter now. No risk of death does not mean there is no danger, and it is not impossible to be beaten into a disability and taken away.

The system marked him to hold on for 1 minute. He didn't think he could hold on for so long in front of a special-level opponent. In a spell battle with such a huge gap in strength, it could be said that the outcome could be decided in an instant.

The consequences of choosing the second option are even more terrifying. It is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the magic world in normal society. This is standing on the opposite side of Gojo Satoru...

This result was something he didn't want to see.

Souma Josuke has already made up his mind.

"How about it, Souma-kun, have you thought about it?"

"I'm sorry, I can't imagine what a world with only spellcasters would be like."

[The host has made a choice and the countdown has begun. 】

【00:00:59】

......

"That's such a pity." There was no trace of regret in Xia Youjie's voice.

"You are just a weak person to me now. Since you refuse, I can only use my own method to implement it. Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you are not one of those hairless monkeys, but the process may It’s a little bit painful.”

Just when Xia Youjie started to speak, Kazan of the Blade Soul and Kaija of the Afterimage were already floating behind Souma Josuke.

In addition to Xia Youjie in the distance, a huge curse reaction suddenly appeared in the center of the curse radar.

Without any time to think, Soma Josuke exploded with his strongest power and left his current position in an instant.

"boom!"

The gravel splashed, and a huge worm suddenly emerged from the ground. Its mouthparts as big as a mahjong table were still wriggling, swallowing pieces of broken stone slabs into its mouth.It seemed to be dissatisfied with only eating some gravel, and it kept twisting its huge body.

"Oh, Souma-kun, I don't even know when you got the second shikigami."

Xia Youjie stood aside and observed the two shikigami with a relaxed expression, seeming to be more interested in them.

"The red shikigami increases the strength of the spell. What does the second shikigami do?"

Since you asked the question sincerely...

Souma Josuke is destined not to tell you this question, because he doesn't even know it himself.He is still palpitating from the scene just now. If he had been slower, he would definitely be swallowed by this curse spirit.

Thanks to Kazan's ability to display the reaction of spells within a range, he was able to dodge the blow.

I looked at the countdown in my mind and saw that only 9 seconds had passed.

One minute can be so long.
