A drop of blood landed on Feng Wu's face.
While Seiji was moving at high speed, the drops of blood flew out of his body like bright red petals.
Seeing this, Feng Wu and Tomohisa realized that they had overlooked something very important.
That was, how much Seiji would have to pay for this temporary assistance!
He only said that he could help, but didn't say what he would have to pay.
They didn't think of asking either.
Why did they overlook it? There was obviously something hidden behind the phrase "I'll only be able to help for one minute at most." They should have thought of it, should have asked …
Feng Wu's heart ached.
Tomohisa blamed himself.
They could only watch as more and more blood flowed out of Seiji's body and dripped onto the ground.
Seiji's body was gradually dyed red.
His entire body was in intense pain, as if something incredibly heavy was pressing down on him. It felt like he was about to melt.
His consciousness was also starting to fade.
His power was gradually being used up.
But it still wasn't enough. 'Just a little more … just a little more time …'
He could only help the Juumonji siblings this one time, and he had to do his best! He had to do his best and use his power to the limit!!
"Arghhhh!!!"
Seiji let out a low roar.
After advancing for a while, his body was finally unable to withstand the pressure anymore. His body was covered in cracks, and he was covered in blood.
In Feng Wu and Tomohisa's eyes, Seiji's blood-red body slowly broke apart.
"Seiji!!!" they shouted.
Seiji slowly turned around. There was a faint smile on his blood-covered face.
"I'm … waiting … in reality …"
Before he could finish his sentence, his body broke apart.
…
"Cough cough … cough cough cough … cough cough cough cough … Arghhh …"
In reality, Seiji was kneeling on the ground. His body was trembling as he violently coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You've gone too far." Yomi sighed.
Seiji was unable to say anything. He continued coughing for a long while before spitting out another mouthful of blood. Only then did his body gradually stop trembling as he weakly heaved a sigh of relief.
"So uncomfortable …"
"This concubine has warned you, but you didn't listen. What an idiot."
"I didn't expect it to be so painful … If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have forced myself to do this." Seiji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Yomi: "…"
The female spirit was rather doubtful of his words. She wanted to retort but didn't know what to say, so she simply remained silent.
"I've tried my best … I hope they succeed."
Seiji stood up slowly and looked at Feng Wu and Tomohisa.
The two siblings were still lying there quietly.
He had already helped, so he couldn't help anymore. All that was left was to wait.
A system notification had appeared just now, so Seiji opened the system to check.
"First time traversing Hell, obtained 44 Exchange Points and the item 'Hell's Curse'!"
Mental Destruction Card — Curse of Hell.
This card contains the malicious curse of the Dark Abyss. After using it, the user can select a specific character, and that character's mind will have a certain chance of being destroyed.
Seiji: "…"
Although the description was simple, it was obvious that this was a dangerous card.
What would happen to a person whose mind was destroyed … Seiji didn't want to imagine it.
The effect was dangerous, but the practicality was rather subtle. That was because it wasn't guaranteed to be effective. There was only a "certain chance."
What were the chances? Were the chances fixed? Or did it depend on the target's mental state? Would the chances increase if it was used in conjunction with the [Mental Suppression Card]?
Seiji thought about it for a moment and decided not to think about it any further.
After he closed his system, he used a healing spell to heal himself.
After a while, he suddenly sensed something.
When he looked at the Juumonji siblings again, he saw that their bodies were glowing with a golden light!
"Success …" Seiji was delighted.
Feng Wu and Tomohisa had succeeded! They were back!!
Seiji stopped healing himself and started infusing his Mana into the spell formation.
All the spell formations glowed and illuminated the three siblings' bodies.
The black spell formations on Feng Wu and Tomohisa's bodies, as well as the black abnormal substance on Zankita's body, swiftly transformed into mist and disappeared.
After the last bit of the black mist completely disappeared, Seiji canceled the spell formation and ended his spell.
The first to open her eyes was Feng Wu.
She immediately sat up and looked at Seiji Mukai.
"Welcome back," Seiji said with a smile.
Feng Wu crawled up and jumped at him! She hugged him tightly.
"What's the matter?" Seiji felt that something was strange. "Are you alright?"
Feng Wu didn't say anything. She simply hugged him tightly.
Then, Tomohisa woke up.
The first thing he did was look at Seiji Mukai. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Seiji Mukai was fine.
But then, he noticed the blood on the floor. His expression instantly froze over.
"Seiji, are you alright!?" Seiji stood up and asked.
"I … I'm fine."
"Are you really fine?" Tomohisa pointed at the blood on the floor.
"I'm a little injured, but it's nothing." Seiji smiled.
Losing so much blood was still not considered a big deal?
Tomohisa felt that Seiji's words were far too foolish. But seeing Seiji's expression, he found it difficult to say anything.
"Compared to me, you guys should be more worried … How are you feeling right now? Is there something wrong? "Seiji asked in concern.
Tomohisa fell silent for a moment.
"I feel like I had a very long nightmare … My memories are quite hazy, and I only remember some scattered scenes … Apart from that, there's nothing else."
"That's good."
This was the effect of a spell that protected the user from the effects of hell. If it weren't for this protection, the Juumonji siblings would definitely have broken down due to the tremendous pain they had to endure in hell.
However, even with a spell that kept their minds stable, it was still possible that something was left behind. After all, hell was the scariest abyss of all. It would be difficult to completely block out the curse of hell.
"If you feel like something's wrong in the future, let me know," Seiji instructed.
Tomohisa nodded.
Then, he looked towards Zankita.
'Although we managed to drag this idiot back, but … will he be able to recover from his demonic appearance?'
Seiji asked Yomi this question in his mind, and received an answer.
"He should be able to wake up after resting for a while, but he might not be able to fully recover. There might be some residual effects."
"I see …" Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses. "… He's already lucky that he's still alive."
"It's not that he's lucky. You guys helped him survive." Seiji told him sincerely. "You and Feng Wu successfully rescued him from hell. That's truly amazing."
Rescuing one's loved ones from the Helplessness Abyss was simply a legendary feat.
"You're the amazing one. Without you, we wouldn't even have had the chance to rescue him." Tomohisa smiled as he looked towards Seiji Mukai. "I'm truly grateful to you."
"I only played a supporting role. It was mostly because of your hard work that we were able to succeed." Seiji smiled in response. "At a time like this, I should say that 'the bond between family triumphed over hell.'"
Tomohisa was rendered speechless.
It seemed that things were indeed as Seiji said. However, he reflexively didn't want to admit it as complex emotions welled up within him.
"I don't like that line."
"Then how about changing it to 'the bond between family members transcends the abyss?'"
"That's not a good idea either. Let's not talk about it anymore."
"You guys accomplished a legendary feat. Don't you want to express your gratitude?"
"We only dragged our idiotic older brother back from a terrible place. There's nothing to say." Tomohisa looked towards Zankita again.
