"Oh oh oh oh...!"
After a brief pause, the Curse Spirits resud their activity, letting out terrifying roars as they pounced one by one at the boy standing in front of Reiger.
"Hey... uh, classmate? Step back first!"
Seeing the situation, the boy hastily exchanged a word with Reiger, then started running towards the Curse Spirits.
His movents didn’t look like those of a battle-hardened possessor of Extraordinary power; rather, he seed more like an ordinary person.
"Ordinary person" here refers only to his actions, not his physical abilities.
Like a sprinter, the boy’s charge at the enemy looked like running; his arms swung, and his body leaned forward, unlike the people Reiger had encountered before, who charged as if they were darting or flying, very down-to-earth.
But the boy’s physical abilities were astonishing; with just one charge, he covered nearly ten ters in less than a second.
"Ha ah!"
The boy suddenly swung his fist, and the motion was completely unlike that of a combatant; it was more like a brawler in a gang fight, yet the explosive power was exceptionally strong.
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, the Curse Spirit struck by the boy’s fist flew away like a cannonball, smashing into the wall of a building and shattering the wall.
The other Curse Spirits imdiately surrounded the boy, so swinging their blade-like arms, others sticking out their tongues, attacking in various ways.
In the face of this onslaught, the boy demonstrated overwhelming physical capabilities, sotis sidestepping, sotis leaping high, sotis sliding low, sotis rolling on the ground, dodging attacks with gymnastic-like agility, his movents akin to acrobatics.
Then, the boy drew a weapon from his side and gripped it tightly.
It was a wide-bladed short sword with holes, the hilt and the blade’s base adorned with hair and wrapped in so bandages, looking rather decent.
Of course, it was not an ordinary weapon.
Reiger sensed a surge of cursed energy from it.
"Is this a cursed tool?"
Instantly, Reiger watched with keen interest.
Physical attacks are ineffective against Curse Spirits, who are conglorates of cursed energy.
The boy’s punches just now, although powerful, were rely normal physical attacks, not infused with cursed energy.
So, the two Curse Spirits hit by the boy’s successive punches were already staggering to their feet, approaching again.
If the boy continued to fight relying solely on extraordinary physical ability and using only physical attacks, he would eventually be defeated.
But the mont the boy gripped the cursed tool, the situation changed.
"Squelch!"
In just the blink of an eye, with the boy’s charge and a misaligned slash, a Curse Spirit was effortlessly eviscerated by the cursed tool in his hand, killed on the spot.
"Squelch!" "Squelch!" "Squelch!"...
The boy continued to display his remarkable martial prowess, maintaining a calm deanor, his figure maneuvering back and forth, his short sword slicing through the air repeatedly, severing the arm or head of a Curse Spirit, fighting in a simple yet highly efficient manner.
As an onlooker, Reiger truly found his eyes opened.
"Despite his movents being completely amateur, his combat skills are extrely practical, a way of fighting purely brought out by extraordinary physical traits."
"Well... it’s not bad, I guess?"
"At least it’s far better than soone half-heartedly learning martial arts or physical skills."
Garnering such praise from Reiger was no easy feat.
At least, this boy was much stronger than those protagonists Reiger had seen, like Bell Crowney or Kamado Tanjirou. If Bone Daddy hadn’t rembered his main account password and continued his adventuring under the Feifei na, wielding a pair of great swords, he probably wouldn’t have been as strong as this boy.
"More people are coming?"
Reiger continued observing and soon felt a sensation, turning his head to look behind.
There, two figures were running over leisurely.
"Jade Hound!"
A dark-haired, stern-faced boy ran over and imdiately ford a hand sign, sending a white large dog that had been running in front barking and rushing out, while his shadow wriggled, summoning another black large dog that barked similarly, following the white dog, suddenly attacking the Curse Spirits.
"Tch!"
Another girl with short hair over her ears clicked her tongue without regard for appearance, then quickly took out a hamr and nails. The nails were rapidly thrown up, surging with cursed energy and enveloped like flas, before being struck by her hamr, transforming into sharp projectiles, shooting towards several Curse Spirits.
The black and white dogs pounced on the Curse Spirits, their mouths full of sharp teeth biting down, each bite tearing off large chunks of flesh from the Curse Spirits.
The sharp nails penetrated the Curse Spirits, embedding in their bodies, continuously drilling into the flesh like a living thing, causing those Curse Spirits to scream pathetically.
"Fushiguro! Kugisaki!"
The lively boy wielding the short sword cursed tool, running back and forth among the Curse Spirits and striking at them, smiled upon seeing the arrival of the dark-haired stern-faced boy and the short-haired girl.
Unfortunately, his companions didn’t show him any friendly expressions.
"You fool! Suddenly running so fast, are you rushing to your death?!"
