Chapter 134: The Curses and the Black Taboo Part 1

The Mirror World that was activated is different from the Mirror World I usually activate. If my Mirror World only alters the surroundings, blocking everything that is happening from the real world, this Mirror World has another perk that I didn't like.

It occasionally shifts its surroundings and changes the structures. It was quite a troublesome thing since the school campus ground I am familiar with has now turned into a labyrinth. The good thing is that due to my Mana Scan and Godou's good sense of direction, we didn't get lost and we even managed to create a shortcut to reach the location of the enemy.

We finally arrived on the location which is the field where the track and field club is using and this time around, its no longer warping and changing the structures on the surroundings and it retains the whole area's original look. But you can still tell that you are in the Mirror World since aside from the field, the whole surroundings are messed up, buildings warped and placed horizontal with another building, making a labyrinth that will lose cause you to lose your way if you are not careful.

Raigaki and Kuma are also in there fighting a few entities that looked like purple sludges.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot Kazuma, seeing those Curses, I am now sure this enemy is the one we are looking for," Godou said and morphed his arms into rock blades.

"Curses? You mean those purple sludges?"

"Yes. They are entities born from negative energies and they can cause different kinds of troubles that can endanger lives hence they are categorized as Curses. Yaya is right to bring you along Kazuma, the Curses are weak against flames."

So those are the things Yaya and Godou called Curses. To be honest, I am thought they would look like little cretins like goblins and nightcrawlers as the manifestation of curses but slimes? I am a little bit disappointed, to be honest.

"Let's clear them up quickly. Can't afford to stay here any longer than now," I said before snapping my fingers, igniting them to flames.

"Don't forget to gather those orbs dropped when you kill a Curse, Kazuma. They are valuable and can be used as a form of currency in some stores. It has similar uses with the demon shards," Blue said to me.

"Noted."

If these Curses are being controlled by the enemy, then we should be clearing it as soon as possible before the enemy can exploit and use it against us.

...

Not too far from the location of Kazuma and the others, a big black ball of dark energy is currently hovering up above the sky, observing the people who just arrive on the scene. No one can see what is inside the ball of dark energy as it was all black. Despite being a conspicuous thing floating above the sky, Kazuma and the others did not notice the ball at all.

As it was floating above the sky, someone suddenly appeared as someone has just dropped in that place. Just like the ball, the individual is floating. A person who was wearing a black robe which can be identified as the black robe usually used by high ranking magicians.

"Master, those people that you have been keeping an eye for has finally arrived. Should I release the " thing" out already? They can be eliminated immediately," the person wearing the robe asked. The voice of the person cannot be distinguished between a man and a woman due to how it has a monotone style of speech and the voice itself is hard to distinguish.

The black ball shook a little bit before the voice of a male emerged from it which feels like it came from the deepest part of the world.

"No, just hold it a little bit. Releasing that "thing" so early will wipe us out of enjoyment. Let's keep it for now. Of course, we can release it but just be patient, I will be giving the signal to release the abomination out when the time is right. Now get out of my sight and continue to observe them."

"As you wish, Master," the hooded person bowed down before once again, disappearing in a blink of an eye. How fast she arrived, it is also how fast she disappeared.

The black ball continues to hover in the sky without moving. If Kazuma ever witnessed the black ball, he would immediately feel the aura released by the thing is comparable to the malicious and dark energy present inside the G.A.T.E.S.

...

The slimes were indeed weak against the flames. The moment the flames come in contact with the slimes, they immediately melted and dissipates in the air. After defeating one, a marble looking orb will drop to the ground and will vary in different colors. If any people see these, they will immediately mistake it as giant marbles.

I brought the Mimic as a bracelet this time around and used him as the dimension storage for the cores of the Curses. Still, that doesn't mean that we are having a harvest.

Godou, Raigaki, and Kuma are able to kill most of the Curses but since they are not using Flame Magic, their progress in killing is slower than mine. But it's not just that the problem, the more we kill the Curses blocking our way, the more Curses appear to block us.

"I am not sure whether the Curses are getting thinner or they are multiplying. I don't see an end of sight from them!" I complained.

"You are right. I faced Curses before but this is the first time I have encountered lots of them in one place. These Curses are different from usual!" Godou frowned before smashing the nearest Curses.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!" Raigaki is rampaging to the cluster of Curses by ripping them out one by one using his shadow claws. He looks scary by just doing it and his image became more menacing as the liquid coming from the Curses splatters to his clothes and skin.

"Holy sh*t man, Yaya would be pissed to the bone if she knows that Raigaki is now doing some rampage sessions..." Godou muttered as he continues to pound and slice the Curses with his rock hand and rock sword.

"So that is the reason why Raigaki is always muted in the chat and being restrained in real life? I didn't really understand the reason for those actions though," I said.

"Raigaki's ability is unrestrained in real life so he has to be controlled by someone who is capable of doing so which falls the responsibility to Yaya who is capable of doing so. As for the chats, his rash mouth might trigger the ability of Raigaki while chatting so he is usually muted."

"Even in chats? Did someone already experienced that happening before?" I asked.

"Of course. We didn't know that at first but during the last time he entered the Phantasmal Reality, he managed to destroy a part of the forest and killed all the inhabitants there. It was due to a certain joke that caused him to get too pissed. That is why we usually mute him to restrain him properly especially if his playfulness behavior starts to show in the chat."
