Instinctively, Sakurai's left and right hands touched each other.
One red and one silver divine weapons burst out with dazzling light.
"Remember, what will destroy you are all the people you have killed so far."
"Disintegrate——"
"All living things are in heat death, and the universe is annihilated!!!"
Light, dazzling scorching light, engulfed Sakurai's body in an instant, and then completely destroyed people and things within a radius of one hundred meters centered on Sakurai.
Kayako's body is no exception.
In the light, her huge bluish-white body was shattered.
The light dissipated, and everything, centered around the unconscious Sakurai, was completely destroyed.
include...
It became the indescribable Kayako ghost story.
A crack appeared in the blood-red sky, just like broken glass, and everything around Sakurai was shattered.
A diary stained with blood appeared out of nowhere and fell into Sakurai's arms.
The moment they returned to the real world, the cursed haunted house seemed to have reached its limit of endurance. It fell apart and collapsed into ruins.
With no one witnessing anything, the strange story of Kayako's Curse.
The crusade is completed here.
......
......
In the ruins that ordinary people could not see, a ragged man lay there motionless, his face as sickly pale as a corpse.
His name is...
Sakurai Eito.
After reading the future timeline, he found a sure-fire way to win. In the battle against the unspeakable ghost story [Kayako: The Grudge], he simultaneously released the power of two weapons, the Aragami Fang and the Eight-sided Silver Hammer, and released a fatal weapon called [The Heat Death of All Living Beings: Annihilation of the Universe] to defeat it.
It took away all of it and turned it into a stronger appetite.
It brings a belated judgment to all those who have been killed by Kayako so far.
Next to my ears, I heard a faint cat cry, hoarse, miserable, and terrifying.
In the ruins, black air came from all directions and gathered together.
She turned into a translucent Kayako.
Hasn't Kayako been conquered yet?
不 ...
The moment Kayako appeared, her figure shattered, and in the next moment she turned into a translucent black cat with two tails. The black cat's name was "Xiao Hei", who was Kayako's childhood playmate and also Kayako's only companion at that time.
After death, it silently guarded Kayako and failed to stop Takeo Saeki's killing. It was eventually assimilated by the resentment of the dead Kayako and became a part of the curse.
After Sakurai defeated Kayako, it was freed from its identity as a curse and turned into a monster named "Nekomata".
Came here to take revenge on Sakurai.
The cat's face was filled with materialized hatred and murderous intent. It looked at the man lying in the ruins with fear and jumped close to Sakurai.
When its claws were about to touch Sakurai's body, it stopped abruptly, and then after confirming that Sakurai could not move, it tried to get closer to Sakurai again.
After confirming again and again that Sakurai was indeed in a coma, unable to move, and completely losing the ability to resist the outside world, its bright green vertical pupils approached Sakurai with hysterical pleasure.
Bloody claws popped out from the flesh ball, and the claws as sharp as a knife were about to cut Sakurai's throat.
This time...
It's for real.
In order to avenge Kayako, it wants to recreate here what Kayako failed to accomplish. It will not stop until it has eaten the human in front of it alive.
After killing Kayako, will Sakurai, who is both injured, be broken by the black cat?
59. Curse: End
The scarlet claws approached Sakurai's fragile neck, and the sharp edge of the claws even sank into the aorta.
There is no doubt that it will completely tear this motionless body apart next.
To avenge Kayako, her master and friend.
For Xiao Hei, it doesn't matter how many people Kayako has killed so far.
In the cat's short life, all it has is Kayako.
It couldn't stop Takeo Saeki from killing Kayako, but at least, at least now it had to avenge Kayako who was completely destroyed.
Even if...
It doesn't matter if both of us perish.
However, when the claws were only 0.1 centimeter away from Sakurai, a translucent barrier blocked the Nekomata's claws.
After the two fought for a few seconds, the barrier that could not bear the weight was broken. At the same time, Sakurai's combat suit, which was almost scrapped, was completely turned into rags, and it just barely covered the vital parts to ensure that he would not be exposed.
The frightened cat shuddered and took a big step back, looking at Sakurai for a long time. After making sure that Sakurai had not woken up yet, the cat approached Sakurai with visibly fear and trepidation.
With a hint of anger and shame of being teased, it raised its pitch-black claws viciously and grabbed Sakurai.
Then...
Sakurai opened his eyes and caught him red-handed.
The cat's cry, which was pinched by Sakurai, sounded hoarse like an old lady coughing up phlegm.
With resentment and unwillingness.
Its dark green pupils were filled with malice towards Sakurai.
"I know you, after your master's death, have you mustered up the courage to seek revenge on me?"
“It’s commendable.”
"But unfortunately, you are still too naive."
He applied a little force with his fingers and easily broke the Nekomata's neck with a sharp crunching sound. He sighed slightly, let go of the motionless Nekomata, and let it turn into black gas and disappear from this world.
perhaps...
The cat named Xiao Hei never thought about surviving from the beginning.
It's just that the process has been brought forward.
"This time it's really a big deal."
The standard shoulder bag and combat uniform were destroyed in the explosion, and the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer and the Fang of the Wild God were temporarily overdrawn and unable to release the barrier.
Compared to what we lost, it’s not like we have gained nothing at all.
Standing up, Sakurai, with his upper body naked, clenched his fists.
Overall, physical fitness has improved by about 0.2 times compared to before.
After the Fang of the Wild God and the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer became silent, they were simply unable to release the barrier. Their materials were still considered divine weapons and did not affect their use.
As long as you wait for a while, you can use Hundred Flowers Dazzling·Soul Devouring Flames and Thousands of Hammers·Endless Barrier, as well as...
The ultimate move of a fatal nature, which will destroy all life within the range, causing the heat death of all living beings and annihilation of the universe.
And Sakurai had a feeling.
Next time I use it, I should be able to control it a little bit, at least I won't end up hurting the enemy by a thousand but losing a hundred thousand of my own money.
At least it's okay as long as it's not liberated to the maximum extent.
Plus Kayako's diary.
And the dream I had while I was in a coma.
Overall, the gains from this battle were indeed not small.
Should I say it's expected? Compared to aimlessly hunting ghosts, fighting against strong enemies is the best way for a guy like me to grow.
Thank you, Kayako, your existence is really a great help.
Thinking this, Sakurai left the ruins of the haunted house where Kayako and the Grudge were lurking.
He rode on the motorcycle that came to him and drove away into the distance.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that it was late at night and there were not many people on the street, so the news of him riding a motorcycle with his upper body naked would not spread.
Sakurai was slightly relieved about this.
Even he didn't want to be the protagonist of an urban legend about a beautiful boy exposing himself outdoors at midnight.
So shameful.
......
......
"Open the door."
No matter whether it was three or four times, Sakurai, who just felt cold all over and had no sense of security, kept knocking on the bartender's izakaya door viciously and continuously. Sakurai was just about to say "FBI, open the door" and could be said to be as rude as possible.
As expected, the door, which was originally half open, was knocked open in just a few seconds under Sakurai's extraordinary strength.
The orange light shone on the bartender who was wiping the wine glass with a white cloth.
The long black hair was casually tied with a silver ribbon.
He was staring at Sakurai who broke into the room with his upper body naked and without even shoes on.
"Sakurai-san, what are you doing..."
The bartender grunted, thought carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should not have offended Sakurai during this period.
Then he asked Sakurai with a confused look on his face.
