Kapitel 8: Chapter 8

Megumi's expression hardened, his lips pressed into a thin line. "We need to find her, and quickly," he said, his voice taut with urgency. "Who knows what kind of danger she's in right now."

Yuji's brow furrowed with concern as he expressed his growing unease. "I'm getting a really ominous feeling," he said, his voice tinged with worry. "We need to go find Nobara, and quickly."

The finger bearer, having decided to stop staring like idiots, attacked once again, forcing Kamo to hastily erect a wall of fire to shield them from the onslaught.

The flames roared to life, creating a barrier that crackled and hissed as the finger bearer's assault crashed against it. Kamo's brow furrowed in concentration, his control over the cursed fire unwavering as he maintained the protective wall.

Kamo's brow furrowed with annoyance as he addressed Yuji and Megumi. "Alright, you two should go get Nobara and leave the building," he said, his voice lacking any worries.

"Once you've got her and are outside, signal me and I'll join you shortly." Kamo didn't had any worries regarding the matter even though his meta-knowledge has betrayed him once.

The people who could harm him were very few and as long as he could prevent the fraud from taking over this mission should essentially be a breeze for him.

Megumi eyed Kamo with a hint of worry in his eyes. "Are you sure you can handle both of them?" he asked, his tone tinged with doubt.

Kamo scoffed, a confident smirk spreading across his face. "Those two stupid apes?" he said dismissively. "They are nothing but punching bags for me." His fire-based curse technique would make him virtually invulnerable to their attacks.

Satisfied with Kamo's assurance, Megumi turned to Yuji. "Let's go get Nobara and get out of here," he said, his usual stoic expression betraying none of the concern he felt

Yuji nodded, his usual carefree demeanor replaced by a serious determination. "Right," he said, already moving towards the exit, Megumi close behind him.

Once they had left, Kamo turned his attention to the two curses, his brow furrowed with a mixture of annoyance and anticipation. This was his chance to get some hands-on experience of fighting against real opponents and he wasn't really gonna let it go to waste.

Kamo noticed the two finger bearers showing a rare sign of intelligence and split up, with one approaching him and the other heading toward Yuji and Megumi.

Dismissing the threat, Kamo conjured a blazing chain of fire and used it to ensnare the finger bearer attacking the duo, allowing Yuji and Megumi to make their escape unimpeded.

The fist of the first finger bearer connected with Kamo's head, blowing it up in flames. However, Kamo couldn't give less of a flying fuck as he swung the chain hard, slamming the finger bearer into the wall with tremendous force.

The impact cracked the wall and the finger bearer let out a pained cry, momentarily stunned by the ferocity of Kamo's attack.

He then effortlessly caught the second finger bearer's fist in his palm, halting its attack. Without hesitation, he retaliated with a powerful punch to the creature's midsection, sending it hurtling away from him.

After which, with a crazy smile on his face, Kagura summoned his flames and launched a torrent of searing hot fire towards the poor cursed spirit.

The cursed spirit barely managed to dive out of the way of the scorching attack, narrowly avoiding being engulfed in the intense blaze. Kagura's eyes gleamed with a dangerous, almost maniacal, light as he reveled in the thrill of battle.

Both of the curse spirits eyed each other warily, an unspoken understanding passing between them. With a silent nod, they turned their attention towards Kamo, charging at him in perfect synchronization, their movements sluggish yet coordinated.

Kamo's eyes narrowed as the two curse spirits charged at him, their movements synchronized in a way that suggested the thinking capability of someone more than 3 years old. He cracked his knuckles, a feral grin spreading across his face as he prepared to meet their assault head-on.

The first finger bearer lunged forward, its massive fist aiming straight for Kamo's face. But with lightning-fast reflexes, Kamo ducked beneath the blow, his body twisting like a dancer as he pivoted on his heel.

In one fluid motion, he lashed out with a powerful kick, his heel connecting with the curse spirit's knee. The creature howled in pain as the joint buckled, and Kamo followed up with a series of rapid-fire jabs, his fists blurring as they pummeled the curse's torso.

The second finger bearer, seeing an opening, charged in from the side, its clawed hand poised to tear Kamo to shreds. But Kamo was ready, his eyes narrowing in focus as he extended his hand, conjuring a wall of fire that erupted between him and the approaching curse.

The finger bearer screeched in agony as it collided with the searing flames, its flesh blistering and charring. Kamo pressed the advantage, his palms igniting as he launched a barrage of fiery projectiles at the reeling curse spirit.

The first finger bearer, its knee now badly damaged, lunged forward in a desperate attempt to grab Kamo. But the young sorcerer was already moving, his body twisting and contorting as he evaded the clumsy grab.

Kamo's hands lashed out, his fingers curling around the curse spirit's wrist. With a sharp tug, he pulled the creature off balance, then slammed his elbow into its face, shattering its face.

The finger bearer staggered back, its movements growing sluggish as Kamo pressed his assault. He unleashed a flurry of strikes, his fists pounding the curse's torso with bone-shattering force.

The second finger bearer, its flesh still smoldering from Kamo's earlier attack, let out a guttural roar as it charged back into the fray. But Kamo was ready, his hands igniting as he conjured a swirling vortex of flame.

The curse spirit barreled straight into the inferno, its anguished cries echoing through the abandoned building. Kamo maintained the fiery maelstrom, his eyes narrowed in concentration as he poured more and more of his curse energy into the blaze till the finger bearer died.
