540 Could this be… the true form? (2/2)

”Ooike-san…”

He felt as if he heard something.

”Ooike-san…”

This voice belonged to someone that should have left already.

”Ooike-san… I've heard… your request for help…”

This was a gentle and resolute voice that had the power to reassure others.

Kazufuru turned around with his tear and snot-covered face to see that Seigo Harano was now crouching next to him and reaching out with his hand.

”Let me help you.”

Seigo Harano was a Spiritual Ability user!

Kazufuru was rather surprised to find this out. However, he was quite accepting of it.

In fact, he even wondered why he never even considered this possibility before. After all, some of their classmates were already wondering if Seigo was a Spiritual Ability user.

He should have figured it out… Why was he unable to see this?

Kazufuru couldn't understand. He was confused about this for quite a while, and could only conclude that it was due to his own foolishness.

Just like at the beginning when meeting Seigo Harano, he became foolish at a critical part.

When he returned to his senses, Kazufuru discovered that he was now in a dojo.

”I'm going to help dispel the curse on you here,” Seiji told the excellent student. ”The process might be risky, and also painful. You need to mentally prepare yourself.”

Kazufuru fell silent at this and nodded.

Seiji had Kazufuru lie down on the floor, close his eyes, and relax his body. Seiji then began casting his spell.

Seiji placed a barrier around Kazufuru and uttered an incantation that caused a golden-red mystical spell formation to appear.

Runes appeared on Kazufuru's body. These runes gradually started emitting a black mist.

”Urgh…”

Once again, Kazufuru felt as if he was being branded with how hot and painful his chest felt. His body became incredibly rigid.

Kazufuru did his best to bear the pain. Some time later, he felt something within his body begin to stir, as if there was a living creature inside him which had been disturbed from its slumber.

Then, even greater pain flooded over him. His body felt as if it was literally being torn apart and burned, yet he also felt an incomparable chill…

”Waargghhhhh!!!”

He heard an ear-piercing shriek.

It took a second for Kazufuru to realize that he himself was the one who was screaming.

He forced his eyes open and saw Seigo Harano who had a serious expression right now… no, he was looking down at Seigo!

Kazufuru confusedly realized that he was apparently in midair and checked himself, only to discover that he was currently within a pitch-black dimensional space together with a green crystal. And… he had transformed into a gigantic monster!?

A blood-red gigantic body, dark-green ugly arms, and sharp black claws… just what was this!?

He wanted to ask this out loud, but when he tried speaking, his words became nothing more than a vicious roar!

”Ooike-san, is your consciousness still in there!? If so, please nod!” Seiji shouted to the monster.

This gigantic monster had a viciously distorted expression, long red fangs, wild hair, and long green horns on top of its head that were glowing with a cold light. This was unmistakably a powerful demon!

Kazufuru wanted to nod and say that he was still within this demon. However, his body was no longer under his control.

'So hot… so painful…

'Kill… kill…

'What… have I become…

'Kill… kill… kill…

'Why… did things become like this…

'Kill… kill… kill… KILL!!!'

A strong wave of pain buried his consciousness, and he was filled with the desire to slaughter. This caused Kazufuru to wave his giant arm and viciously smash towards the person across from him!

”Hurry and run!”

Kazufuru's barely remaining consciousness wanted to shout that in warning to Seigo Harano. Yet, he was unable to utter any human language as what came out of his mouth was only demonic shouting.

Seigo, who always seemed so tall and strong to him, was now only as short as a young child in comparison. If he managed to hit Seigo, it would definitely kill him…

*Boom!!*

The giant claw smashed into the ground.

Seigo Harano dodged the attack at a speed that Kazufuru wasn't even able to discern!

”If you've lost your consciousness, I apologize, because that means I'm not going to go easy on you.” Seiji looked at the powerful demon. ”Ooike-san, you'll have to bear with me.”

The next second, Kazufuru noticed Seigo being covered with a golden mist as golden runes appeared on his skin. His hair also transformed into long, free-flowing golden hair which was brilliantly shiny and gave him an incredible aura!

Did he… just transform?

Kazufuru's remnant consciousness was shocked by this scene.
