It is everything that can be used in this body.
Punching each other flesh to flesh, following his instinct, Sakurai and Kayako, who was several times stronger than him, engaged in a long fight and tug-of-war.
He used everything he had, fighting until the endless sea of blood dried up, the blood mist that made it impossible to see clearly around him dissipated, until Sakurai no longer knew how much of Kayako's flesh and blood he had swallowed, and until his brain could no longer think and was left with only the instinct to fight and kill.
Even Sakurai, whose consciousness was silenced, finally won the crown of victory by his own strength.
This is--
The monster named Sakurai Eito is far more powerful and unreasonable than the ghost story named Kayako in the field of combat.
"I've said it before, a battle of this magnitude, even if it's a thousand or ten thousand times more powerful... it'll still be a piece of cake."
Half-kneeling in a pool of blood, holding up a red-hot octagonal silver hammer with one hand, Sakurai suppressed his fighting instinct after the battle and regained his sanity.
The dull-colored tooth of the God of Wilderness fell aside, making him feel a little gloomy.
The scattered corpses with the same pale face turned into a sea of blood and filled the surroundings.
These are all Kayako's clones. There are countless smelly corpses lying around, and each one was killed with one blow.
After an extremely long fight that even he himself was not aware of, Sakurai finally won a magnificent victory in this 1 VS countless battles.
Using deaths that almost reached four digits or more as bargaining chips, he annihilated all the Kayakos that came one after another.
Both sides suffered losses, and no one was the real winner in this fight.
but--
For Sakurai, he has succeeded.
He defeated all the Kayakos who kept appearing.
Sakurai closed his eyes thinking this. This level of protracted battle was the first time in his two lifetimes. What Kayako wanted to achieve...
Is this it?
Drain his strength, then appear in front of him and devour him completely when he is no longer able to fight.
If that is your intention, you have succeeded.
In this war of attrition where one loses 1,000 to the enemy but ten thousand to one's own, Sakurai is now completely exhausted.
However, if that’s all, it’s still far from enough.
don't want--
You underestimated me.
Force your body to obey.
He regrouped and stood up. Sakurai opened his eyes again, his golden eyes full of defiance.
He would never surrender to his enemy no matter what.
If you want to defeat him, you'll have to wait another 20,000 years.
"Come on, if you have any tricks, just come at me. Let me see who can defeat the other one."
"Now that things have come to this, you should understand that only one of us will walk out of this alive."
"Let's see. Is my immortality stronger, or is your endless resentment as a curse more incredible?"
Sakurai raised his middle finger as a matter of course and shouted out the strange story of Kayako.
54. Overt conspiracy, Kayako Bar said this is a win-win situation
Sakurai can be sure and certain that Kayako is still alive and well.
Now it is staring at me quietly in some corner with that creepy and malicious look.
All the time...
Stare at yourself.
Like a shadow, it is everywhere.
This uneasy feeling, like something stuck in the throat, has been following him like a shadow since he fell into this bloody world, sending chills down his spine.
Sakurai had to admit one thing, the complete ghost story was indeed disgusting to an incredible and indescribable level of weirdness.
It is unkillable and extremely powerful, completely different from the three "semi-finished" ghost stories that came before it.
Under Sakurai's focused alert.
If there is...
The hoarse meow of the black cat sounded in his ear, and then, along with Sakurai's breathing, there came the very faint laughter of Lololo.
Is there anything coming?
Sakurai understood that in a corner that he couldn't see.
Something appeared in this bloody world with no end in sight.
An unknown number of female corpses turned into black gas and dissolved into the air.
From nothing to something, accompanied by the sound of bubbles that gradually grew louder, an extremely huge, headless, pale, translucent woman quietly appeared in front of Sakurai.
With Sakurai's height, he couldn't even reach the back of her feet.
In fact, if Sakurai hadn't felt that almost materialized malicious gaze, she wouldn't have had time to notice her existence at all, it was too big.
It is so big that it can almost be said to be supporting the world at this moment.
Is she the [Tall Girl] from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?
Could it be that the resentment of the woman who could not get married during her lifetime because of her extraordinary height be a monster that caused a fire after her death?
No, that's not right. This is the world of the Grudge. There can't be any other weirdness outside of the Grudge.
In other words, is this Kayako?
Is Kayako's true form an excessively gigantic existence?
That's a bit difficult.
I currently have no means of combating this super-large enemy.
After all, for an ant to eat an elephant is not something that can be done easily in a short period of time.
My current maximum size is only enough to deal with enemies about a hundred meters away.
This Kayako...
It’s too big.
After Sakurai noticed her presence.
The huge and seemingly illusory body that covered the sky and the sun continued to solidify and shrink, and finally became a ten-meter-tall body.
She looked down at Sakurai, her pale, scarred face full of ferocity.
In Sakurai's eyes, Kayako's face kept changing like a kaleidoscope in an instant, and finally froze in its original appearance.
Sakurai's appearance was reflected in those dark pupils.
Looking at her expression, she didn't look angry because her plan had been thwarted. Instead, she looked happy and relieved that her plan had succeeded. She was smiling.
this is...
Kayako is the embodiment of the resentment of all the people who have died in the Grudge so far.
If it’s ten meters, it’s still within my response range.
After seeing this large Kayako, Sakurai thought of this first.
wrong...
Now is not the time to think about that.
The most urgent thing now is to consider the reason why Kayako just smiled with the look of success.
Thinking of this, Sakurai gave himself one without any doubt.
After going through the process of death triggering reading the future timeline and then resurrecting, Sakurai clearly understood Kayako's purpose.
There is no doubt that he was forced to fight a long battle with Kayako's clone according to her plan.
This is an open conspiracy. If Sakurai doesn't want to be defeated by Kayako, he must defeat the other party. Sakurai has no choice.
From the very beginning, Kayako's strategy only had two options: success and great success.
He was completely plotted against. He lost miserably in the confrontation between him and Kayako.
After reading the future, this super cheating method, Sakurai understood what happened.
After Sakurai killed his son Saeki Toshio, Kayako realized something.
That is, Toshio Saeki, who should have been resurrected by her resentment, disappeared.
After that, her clone, Takeo Saeki, and every grudge who died at Sakurai's hands disappeared completely.
It's like it never existed.
From then on, Kayako was certain of one thing.
It's as if Sakurai has an excessive attraction to the supernatural.
Sakurai's situation is quite special when it comes to ghost stories.
It is so special that it can almost be called the "tonic" that beings like them dream of.
then...
Kayako, the core of the curse, used a series of tricks to forcibly drag him into her own core world, which is the area behind this haunted house.
He then materialized all of his resentment into waves of clones that launched suicidal attacks on Sakurai.
If the clones could kill Sakurai, then she would be able to gain the greatest nourishment after becoming the Grudge.
If... Sakurai could achieve the impossible and kill all her clones.
Then her other goal, which she had never expected, was naturally achieved.
As a result, Sakurai killed all of Kayako's clones to her surprise.
