Suddenly, the black man … the black abnormal human moved.
His head wriggled a few times. Seiji instantly felt like something terrifying was staring at him. His nerves tensed up!
* Whoosh … * The abnormal human swung its hand.
* Splat! * There was the sound of something that sounded like a suppressed liquid suddenly gushing out. Bluish-black flames that were so hot that they seemed "viscous" suddenly exploded!!
Seiji dodged in time, turned around, and lifted his foot to stomp at the abnormal human again.
With a loud boom, he missed.
The black Inhuman moved to the side in a strange posture of bending his limbs in the opposite direction. He was extremely fast!
Then, it stood up straight in a rather strange manner, like a zombie or a robot.
Seiji suddenly recalled Shinobu Miaki. Shinobu wasn't the little demon currently inside his body, but the human puppet from before!
Seiji's instincts told him that the person controlling this abnormal human wasn't Zankita Juumonji, but something else … that wasn't human.
The abnormal human waved its hands again, and another large amount of bluish-black flames shot out!
Seiji dodged to the side, but he suddenly saw his opponent pouncing at him with all four limbs!
[Bullet Time], activate!
At this moment, Seiji could clearly see that countless tiny holes had opened up on the abnormal human's body, and blood-red crystalline beads could be seen inside.
It was as if countless tiny eyes had opened up!
Seiji felt chills run down his spine.
That was because there seemed to be some incredibly terrifying existence behind these "eyes".
He definitely couldn't touch "those" things! Seiji hurriedly dodged at full speed with this thought in his mind.
* Boom! *
The abnormal human's pounce missed.
Seiji retreated to a nearby corner and wanted to counterattack with [Mana Bullet].
"Use [Cleansing]!" a female voice spoke up.
It was Yomi.
Seiji obeyed her and speedily formed a seal.
The abnormal human pounced at him again.
Seiji locked onto his target and cast his spell.
* Boom! *
There was an explosive sound from the abnormal human's body in midair, and black mist rose from it as if it had received a heavy blow.
Seiji dodged it and increased the distance between them once again.
The Black Mutant that had smashed into the floor stood up in a strange manner, and the Mutant on its body made a faint creaking sound.
Seiji quickly made another hand seal, fused it with the power of bonded spirits, and cast a spell — —
Evolved Purification!
A golden and profound formation suddenly imprinted itself on Aberration's body. After that, a bright light flashed.
Rumble!
The explosion was deafening, and the golden radiance was accompanied by a thick black mist that filled half of the dojo.
The strange creaking sound became clearer, and he could vaguely feel that there was a human voice in it …
"Don't stop, do it a few more times!" Yomi said.
Seiji continued to cast his spell.
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
After using [Evolved Cleansing] six times in a row, the female spirit instructed Seiji to use a sealing technique.
Seiji chanted a spell and aimed at the target with both hands.
Evolved Sealing Technique!
Golden pentagrams appeared above the black mutant's head and feet. Squares, triangles, circles, diamonds, and many other geometrical shapes appeared around its body. All the spell formations shot out a golden light that reflected on the black mutant and formed countless runes!
"Wahhhhhh …" The black mutant made strange noises that Seiji couldn't understand. Its body and limbs started convulsing and twisting in strange postures, as if it was a broken dancing robot.
A normal human body definitely wouldn't be able to make such strange postures, unless it had no bones …
"Will it die?" Seiji couldn't help but ask.
"It's already dead … but at this level, perhaps it's possible to save it," Yomi responded.
"What?"
"At any rate, seal it first. Don't be careless."
Seiji listened to the female spirit's words and used his power to deeply imprint runes on the black mutant's body, forming shackles.
Finally, the humanoid monster that had once been Zankita Juumonji stopped moving and collapsed with golden runes all over its body.
"What exactly is this?"
"'Hell's Aura.'"
"Hell's … Aura?"
"The aura of endless darkness and endless hells. It's the gathering of all evil in the world, the most terrifying and tragic power of the abyss," Yomi stated in a soft voice.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Gathering all evil in the world … wasn't this "all the evil in the world"?
What the hell! Wasn't this something that would only appear when all seven heroic spirits gathered together and fought to the very end? Why would it appear on an Awakened!? It wasn't like Zankita Juumonji was Angel Manu!
'No, no, don't confuse this with the anime and video games from my previous world … I should say that this power that sounds so awesome shouldn't appear so casually, right?'
Seiji expressed his confusion to the female spirit.
"This type of power indeed shouldn't appear so casually. I don't know why it appeared on this person. "
"Then … can this person still be saved? You just said that he's already dead, but perhaps he can be saved … "
"Humans that are devoured by Hell's Aura are no different from being dead. But if it's only at the beginner level, it's possible to save him. "
"What should we do?"
"We need someone close to him who shares the same blood as him to pull him back." Yomi paused for a moment. "It might not succeed … if it fails, the person who tries to pull him back will be devoured as well."
"You mean … only family members can be saved, and if they fail, they'll die together?" Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yes. And it's quite dangerous for one person to save him, and it's highly likely that they'll fail. It's best if there are two or more people. "
…
Tomohisa looked at the sealed humanoid monster in front of him.
Seiji's expression was incredibly grim after he heard Seiji's explanation.
'This idiot …
No, he can't even be called an idiot anymore, he's an idiot! A mega idiot!!
'Hell's Aura … why do you have such a mysterious power that sounds ominous just from the name!? Why are you so suicidal!?
Say something! Idiot! Bastard!! Super idiot … bastard!!!
* Smack! *
Tomohisa viciously punched the monster's head, but his punch hit the ground instead.
"Damn it …"
After his anger, he felt a deep sense of regret.
He should have told Seiji earlier … if he had told him about this earlier and tried to deal with it, things wouldn't have reached this point, would they?
He shouldn't have trusted his idiot older brother … he should have known this from the start …
"It's my fault … at the time, I thought that he would really be able to do a good job …" Tomohisa sat down on the ground with a depressed expression. "I thought that I could trust him … I thought that I might get lucky …"
Seiji silently observed this.
"It's all my fault, so … I'll take responsibility by myself." Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses. "Let me save this guy by myself. Don't tell Feng Wu."
"If that's the case, you might …"
"I know! But what else can I do!? Call my younger sister and tell her that my idiot older brother did something stupid, and that I, as her second brother, was also stupid and didn't stop him in time. That's why he's about to die, so hurry over and risk your life to save him!? "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I'm sorry … I lost control of my emotions." Tomohisa sighed deeply and lowered his head.
