135 Episode 15: The Curses and the Black Taboo Part 2 (1/2)

”Right now, Raigaki is still under the seal. According to Yaya, she has to put 20 seals on Raigaki's body to fully contain his power. Of course, his power is so immense that containing them all is impossible which is why he can still use magic. So if he managed to break all seals, he will destroy everything.”

Just from listening to Godou's explanation, I can tell that Raigaki is a hidden time bomb ready to explode once his fuse is burnt out. I have seen Raigaki's ability when Yaya released one seal during the battle inside the Phantasmal Reality. What about if he got released from it?

”Wait, if he can destroy almost everything if he is unrestrained, how did he get his seals in the first place?” I asked.

”Unfortunately, I have no idea Kazuma. Yaya said it was a secret she can't say and no matter how hard we try to press on how it happened, Yaya won't reveal it at all.”

I am getting more curious about Raigaki's past right now. However, I have no time to think too much in there. I still have to beat up those Curses to ashes.

Curses seem to be endless at first but after a continuous battle against these monsters, I slowly find out they are not many at all. They are just fast at multiplying so to stop them from doing so, I made wide attacks of flames on them, burning them in groups, causing their multiplying process to slow down a lot.

It didn't take me too long before I manage to clear them all out with the help of Raigaki, Kuma, and Godou. The cores are plenty and I benefit a lot from it as I managed to grasp my control in using magic that costs a lot of mana and covers a wide area.

”Good job everyone. However, we still can't let our guard down! The enemy who summoned and used the Curses is still here! We still have to find the enemy who caused all the mess!”

But we didn't expect the ground to shake a lot and a loud thud on the ground boomed the surroundings. Large particles of rocks and dust scattered in the air and the wind blows so hard that we need to make a hard stand on our feet to avoid getting blown away.

”What the hell is going on?!” Godou gritted his teeth as he embedded his hand to the ground that acted as his anchor to the ground to avoid getting blown away.

I have to use the Domain of Balmung to myself to withstand the strong current of air and barrage of dust coming towards me. Meanwhile, Kuma is holding on Raigaki who was not even perturbed by the impact. He looks calm but his aura is already domineering.

”Based on what I can scan in the distance, a large amount of dark energy accumulated has formed a giant monster. I can't get a proper scan with all the dust and the swirling dark mana around the place,” Blue's voice echoed inside my head.

”A Giant? Seriously?” I frowned.

Godou still has no idea what is going on since he is more focused on keeping himself intact on the ground to avoid getting blown away from the strong wind. On the other hand, Raigaki did not even flinch from the wind, and from the looks of his eyes, he is already eyeing the giant. I can barely see in this strong sandstorm and whirlwinds in our surroundings but I can make out a silhouette of a colossal being on the horizon. I still have no idea what that thing looked like.

”I had a bad feeling about this,” Godou muttered.

Me too, man. You are not alone in that.

Another shake from the ground throws me off-balance. The tremor is strong enough to cause that much force and I almost canceled my Domain of Balmung.

I thought that I will be staying like this for quite some time while the giant is approaching but I didn't expect Raigaki to make his move.
