- "Bathing".

In the world of spells, this word has a special meaning.

"Bath" is a ritual in the concept of mantra.

It is a ritual to enchant an heirloom artifact from being tampered with by foreign enemies.

Carefully selected creatures are melted and filtered with Gu poison to obtain a concentrated mana solution, and then the artifact that is stored as a family heirloom is placed in it, which is the ritual of "bathing".

"Bathing" refers to the process of performing a ritual, which means "immersing oneself in something that needs to be changed."

At the same time as he set off for the Sendai Barrier to meet Rige, such a ceremony took place in a solemn place.

A mystic sorcerer named Rime appeared here, and came to the deepest part of this solemn place.

Unlike a stately place, this is a very evil cave.

Countless spell spirits were crushed into countless pieces of flesh and stacked and tanned together, replacing the effect of Gu poison, being melted and filtered into a concentrated mana solution, causing the pitch-black liquid to flow down from the ceiling and into the pool below.

The pool of water that had gathered countless pitch-black liquids was also pitch black, exuding extremely strong fluctuations of negative power, like a curse that materialized and disgusting.

But in such a disgusting black pool, there is a black-haired teenager.

This teenager is Megumi Fushiguro, who disappeared in the Shibuya Incident.

He's been here for a while.

Of course, the reason why he was put here, soaked in the mana solution generated by countless spell spirits, and performed the "bathing" ritual was not to perform the spell, but to let his consciousness sink and not wake up again.

Now, Megumi Fushiguro's consciousness has completely sunk into the pitch-black abyss, not only will it no longer surface, but even its own nature has become infinitely close to the concept of "demon" under the action of the mana solution formed by countless spell spirits.

And as the initiator of all this, Rime brought here the last thing needed for the last step of the ritual.

"Everything is ready."

Rime knelt down on one knee towards the figure she had placed by the wall, her head hanging down and sitting against the wall.

"It's time for you to officially return, Lord Su."

The person who respectfully kneels on one knee and worships is the knotweed Yuhito who is supposed to be in Tokyo's first enchantment.

If you look closely, Knotweed Yuhito's current state is not very good, not only has he fallen into a coma, but there are traces of being frozen.

“…… This is the second time, right? ”

Before losing consciousness, Knotweed Youren had been so unwilling to murmur in his heart.

How similar is this scene to when I was in Shibuya?

It's just that......

"It's the last time, little ghost."

An evil voice, as if mocking, mocked him.

"The time has finally come to fulfill the bonds that were made at the beginning."

"Congratulations, little ghost, you got rid of me as you wished."

"You're happy about it."

"After all, soon, you'll never be happy again."

Prior to this, Knotweed Yuhito had also fantasized countless times about getting rid of the curse in his body.

But he never imagined that when he was free from the curse, it would be the day when the nightmare really began.

Unfortunately, at least for now, he won't be aware of this.

For, in this last period, the one who occupies his body will be the Lord of the Damned who has been resurrected from modern times.

“…… You are still so attentive and ready for me when I need it. ”

Yuhito, who originally sat with his head hanging down and leaning against the wall...... No, it should be said that the two-faced suzune let out a low laugh.

Ominous black lines appear on his body.

A pair of eyes in the corner of the eye also opened.

Su Nu raised his head, looked at Limei who was kneeling in front of him, and praised loudly.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Remei lowered her head, and said in the most respectful and joyful tone: "Besides, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. ”

"That's right." Su Nu grinned and said, "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

As he spoke, Su Nu stood up and looked at Megumi Fushiguro, who was immersed in the black pool, and the smile on her face suddenly became thicker.

"Very well, so we can get straight to the ground."

Sufu has been eyeing Fushiguro Megumi for a long time.

He is a ghost god of the Heian period who once dominated the heyday of spells, and he is unsurpassed in terms of mana, spells, and intuition and eyesight in spell warfare.

Therefore, as early as when he had just woken up and saw Fushiguro Megumi for the first time, he was vaguely aware that this young man had extraordinary potential for technique.

This feeling climbed to the pinnacle when Li Ge summoned the Ringed Divine General in the Spell Wizard and subdued him.

In addition, when he is in the body of Knotweed Yuhito, not only will he be suppressed by the consciousness of this talent, but he will not be able to occupy the dominance of the body at all, and the container of Knotweed Yuren itself cannot satisfy him, so Su Wu had an idea early.

That is, when the time comes, transfer your soul to Megumi Fushiguro's body, turn Megumi Fushiguro into your own vessel, and revive her body with flesh.

At that time, not only will he be able to obtain the potential of the technique that interests him, but he will not be suppressed all the time like when he was in Knotweed Yuhito's body.

In this way, it can be regarded as a real recovery.

Now, you're all set.

The container you want is right in front of you, and your consciousness is almost completely sunk, and your nature is beginning to get infinitely close to the realm of "demons......

If you don't act now, when?

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Su Wu jumped and swept into the black pool.

Rimei raised her head and looked at this scene, with a faint look of anticipation in her eyes.

Su Fu picked up Fushiguro Megumi.

"Be my shadow, Fushiguro."

The soul of such a smiling Su Fu was gathered on a finger at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by an extremely large amount of mana.

"Poof!"

Without hesitation, Su Nu pulled out this finger, causing blood to splatter.

Immediately after, Sufu stuffed this finger, which had gathered all of his current soul and power, into Fushiguro's mouth.

“————”

Time seems to stand still in this moment.

"Sneer......"

With a faint abnormal sound, the black ominous lines on Knotweed Yuhito's body began to fade, and the second pair of eyes under the corners of his eyes gradually disappeared.

On the other hand, Fushiguro Megumi, like the previous Knotweed Yuhito, has ominous black lines, and a second pair of eyes appear under the corners of her eyes.

"Ha ......"

After a while, an evil laugh appeared in Megumi Fushiguro's mouth.

"Hahaha!"

With a burst of laughter, the body that had sunk in consciousness finally opened its eyes for the first time in a long time.

It's just that the person who dominates this body is no longer Megumi Fushiguro.

The two-faced supreme was revived in Fushiguro's body.

"Bang!"

A heavy punch landed on Knotweed Yuhito's body, knocking it flying.

Blood oozed from the corner of the unconscious knotweed Yuhito's mouth, and the whole person crashed into the black pool, gradually sinking to the bottom of the pool in a huge splash.

"Good." Su Nu opened his hands, felt the new body, and said very happily: "This is the feeling, this is the feeling of being truly alive." ”

"Welcome back, Lord Suo."

Rimei held her clothes and stood by the pool, bending down to celebrate with her stoop.

Only then did Su Wu come out of the black pool, take the clothes in Limei's hand, and put them on his body.

"Su-sama."

At this time, Limei held a tray again and came to the front of Su Fu.

On this tray, there are five fingers that look like dead wax.

Needless to say, these are the five missing fingers of the two-faced skull, and the last five fingers.

"Oh?" Su Wu said with some surprise: "Have you actually collected them all?" ”

"Originally, I only collected four, but the last one couldn't be found anyway." Rimei reported truthfully and said, "It's still Qi Suo who got the last finger back, otherwise, Lord Su Wu may not be able to recover to a complete state." ”

"It's not your fault." Su Nu touched his chin and said with a smile: "The last finger should have been hidden by Satoru Gojo, so you couldn't find it." ”

When Knotweed Yuhito was sentenced to a secret death sentence, Gojo Satoru's way to keep him alive was to convince the higher-ups in the Spell Directorate to wait for Knotweed Yuhito to swallow all of his remaining fingers before carrying him out.

Because the fingers of the two-faced sufu are all super-grade spells, they have indestructible properties, and the existence of these fingers has also brought a lot of trouble to the spell world for thousands of years, causing many disasters.

The spell world has always had a headache about what to do with these spells, and Gojo Satoru seized on this and proposed to let Knotweed Yuhito swallow his fingers, digest the power of his fingers, and then put him to death.

As a result, those fingers will disappear along with the death of Knotweed Yuhito.

However, Satoru Gojo naturally didn't want Knotweed Yuhito to die.

Knowing this, Sufu guessed that Gojo Satoru might have secretly hidden one of his fingers to ensure that Knotweed Yuhito would not be able to collect all twenty fingers, giving the Spell Director an excuse to execute him.

Moreover, if after Yuhito Knotweed swallowed nineteen fingers, he could no longer suppress the Su Nu in his body, he would be able to do this to ensure that Su Nu could not return to his true full state.

This calculation is really loud.

It's a pity that Gojo Satoru didn't know that there was a Suo in the back who had been staring at him, and he was thinking about secretly backstabbing him and sealing him all the time.

Especially after Rieg appeared, Qi Suo even sealed Gojo Satoru's upper platform, intending to first solve a super combat force that could affect his plan, and then let the plural two-faced sufu deal with the more mysterious and difficult to target Rig.

So, with the understanding of Gojo Satoru's whereabouts, it took him a lot of effort to finally find the finger that was deliberately hidden by Gojo Satoru.

Rime finds four, and Suso finds the one that was hidden by Gojo Satoru, plus the fifteen that Suo had absorbed beforehand......

A total of twenty fingers, all collected.

"Gollum ......"

With a swallowing sound, the five fingers on the tray entered Su Fu's belly one by one.

"It's time to go."

Su Nu spoke calmly.

"Yes." Rime asked without any objections, "Which side do you want to go to first?" ”

"That little ghost, of course." Su Wu first said this without thinking, and then changed his tone and said, "I really want to do this, but ......"

Su Nu shifted his gaze and looked in one direction.

That's the direction where the Sendai barrier is.

…………

Qi Suo must admit that he made a mistake.

Although he no longer despised the reverse case of [Heaven and Curse] in front of him, it was really when it was time for the decisive battle of life and death that Qi Suo discovered a fact that shocked him.

That is, even when it was time to fight him, the foreign swordsman in front of him, who he regarded as an uncivilized monkey, still did not use his full strength.

It wasn't until this moment, until he knew all his plans and goals, that the other party finally became serious.

Earnest...... I want to slaughter myself.

"Bang!"

The flames exploded as if they were exploding, and with a loud bang, they burst out at the feet of the sword-wielding swordsman.

The foreign swordsman who was full of flames exploded under the soles of his feet, and at the same time, he directly turned into a dazzling fire, and shot at Qi Suo at an incredible speed.

"Poof!"

Qi Suo wanted to make a move, wanted to use a spell to block the opponent's slash, but his reaction couldn't keep up with the brilliant firelight, let alone the amazing slash, and before he could raise his hand, a burst of blood light burst out on his body, and he was slashed fiercely.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

The flames were like a red bolt of lightning, rushing back and forth around Qi Suo's body, and every time there was an explosion, there was a flame under the opponent's feet, causing it to change direction and speed up.

At first glance, it seems that Qi Suo is surrounded by bursts of bursting flames, and the sword light wrapped around the flames also slashes from time to time, and the speed is so fast that Qi Suo has become a target who has lost his ability to resist, and has been cut again and again, and has been slashed again and again.

"[Round Dance]."

The explosive power and speed of the thunder breath were integrated into the breath of the sun, and at this moment, it was used by Rig.

Probably never forget the scene when he made his own declaration and Rig suddenly attacked.

The brilliant flame bloomed in front of his eyes for only 0.01 seconds, and the flames that followed directly cut his neck.

If it weren't for the sense of crisis that erupted in his heart at the last moment, prompting Qi Suo to activate the [Anti-Gravity Mechanism] technique, turning his body into a hypergravity field, causing the swift slash to deviate by a few inches under the influence of gravity, he would have been cut off by now and killed instantly.

The death at that moment was so close and so distinct that Qi Suo no longer dared to disarm the [Anti-Gravity Mechanism] technique.

I don't know that Leaky Hu was killed by the same trick in seconds, and now there is only one thought in my heart.

"Joke...... It's wide. ”

Cold sweat flowed uncontrollably down his forehead.
