134 Episode 14: The Curses and the Black Taboo Part 1 (1/2)
It occasionally shifts its surroundings and changes the structures. It was quite a troublesome thing since the school campus ground I am familiar with has now turned into a labyrinth. The good thing is that due to my Mana Scan and Godou's good sense of direction, we didn't get lost and we even managed to create a shortcut to reach the location of the enemy.
We finally arrived on the location which is the field where the track and field club is using and this time around, its no longer warping and changing the structures on the surroundings and it retains the whole area's original look. But you can still tell that you are in the Mirror World since aside from the field, the whole surroundings are messed up, buildings warped and placed horizontal with another building, making a labyrinth that will lose cause you to lose your way if you are not careful.
Raigaki and Kuma are also in there fighting a few entities that looked like purple sludges.
”Looks like we hit the jackpot Kazuma, seeing those Curses, I am now sure this enemy is the one we are looking for,” Godou said and morphed his arms into rock blades.
”Curses? You mean those purple sludges?”
”Yes. They are entities born from negative energies and they can cause different kinds of troubles that can endanger lives hence they are categorized as Curses. Yaya is right to bring you along Kazuma, the Curses are weak against flames.”
So those are the things Yaya and Godou called Curses. To be honest, I am thought they would look like little cretins like goblins and nightcrawlers as the manifestation of curses but slimes? I am a little bit disappointed, to be honest.
”Let's clear them up quickly. Can't afford to stay here any longer than now,” I said before snapping my fingers, igniting them to flames.
”Don't forget to gather those orbs dropped when you kill a Curse, Kazuma. They are valuable and can be used as a form of currency in some stores. It has similar uses with the demon shards,” Blue said to me.
”Noted.”
If these Curses are being controlled by the enemy, then we should be clearing it as soon as possible before the enemy can exploit and use it against us.
...
Not too far from the location of Kazuma and the others, a big black ball of dark energy is currently hovering up above the sky, observing the people who just arrive on the scene. No one can see what is inside the ball of dark energy as it was all black. Despite being a conspicuous thing floating above the sky, Kazuma and the others did not notice the ball at all.
”Master, those people that you have been keeping an eye for has finally arrived. Should I release the ” thing” out already? They can be eliminated immediately,” the person wearing the robe asked. The voice of the person cannot be distinguished between a man and a woman due to how it has a monotone style of speech and the voice itself is hard to distinguish.
The black ball shook a little bit before the voice of a male emerged from it which feels like it came from the deepest part of the world.
