...
In the state of Crimson Scales, Shinsuke immediately launched a frenzied slaughter, sweeping away all the remaining hairball monsters with his blade.
The system notifications began to flood the screen.
1 Level 1 Cursed Spirit plus 23 Level 4 Cursed Spirits.
Just from this wave, he obtained 2800 Cursed Soul Points!
Adding to the points from the cursed spirits he had previously defeated and the efforts of the laborer Hidan, his total Cursed Soul Points instantly reached 5200.
Compared to before, this was akin to an overnight fortune!
And clearly, there were more monsters here than just the ones in front of him.
"Comparatively, it seems more cost-effective to slaughter lower-level cursed spirits. Exorcising one Level 4 Cursed Spirit easily yields 100 Cursed Soul Points, but the effort to defeat one Level 1 Cursed Spirit only provides 500 Cursed Soul Points in return..."
Holding the clean and bright Executioner's Blade on his shoulder, Shinsuke began to calculate carefully, meticulously weighing the gains.
After all, the strength of a Level 1 Cursed Spirit is much higher than that of a Level 4 Cursed Spirit, but casually slaying 5 Level 4 Cursed Spirits yields the same reward as killing 1 Level 1 Cursed Spirit, which seems somewhat unreasonable.
More importantly, the number of Level 2, 3, and 4 cursed spirits clearly exceeds that of Level 1 Cursed Spirits.
So is the system malfunctioning?
Or does the system's judgment regard Level 1 Cursed Spirits as not much different, hence the rewards are similar?
Shinsuke thought for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion. Since the system had determined it this way, and he had no room for negotiation, he might as well follow the rules. After all, he wasn't at a loss and might even have a chance to farm some big rewards!
Looking around and confirming the direction of his next destination, he prepared to leave.
The Kusagakure ninja, upon seeing this, let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the terrifying guy seemed to have forgotten about him.
"Just wait, do you really think these monsters are that easy to deal with?!"
"These dead ones are just cannon fodder. When the time comes... everyone will die!"
The ninja seemed to recall a terrifying memory of a monster tearing apart a Jonin, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
At this moment, a cold blade light flashed through the night.
Clang!
The dilapidated house he was hiding in was split in half diagonally!
"Almost forgot about you."
Shinsuke, returning, didn't even glance at him and turned to leave.
Although he didn't think of himself as a good person, he wouldn't hesitate to kill traitors to humanity!
"Pardon..."
The Grass Village ninja was terrified and wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could utter another word, half of his body slid along the cut in the house.
...
"Damn it!"
Not far from where he had walked, Shinsuke suddenly slapped his forehead.
"That guy was wearing a Kusa headband. I should have asked about the sacrifices before killing him."
But even as he said this, he soon dismissed the thought.
"Forget it, I never planned to find those sacrifices anyway. After I return, I'll just blame it all on these monsters."
So Shinsuke, who never intended to uncover the truth from the beginning, turned back, took the blood-stained headband from the corpse, and nodded in satisfaction.
Now he had the evidence. Next, he just needed to eliminate all the remaining monsters, and he could report back.
Following the sounds, he walked through two streets.
Just as Shinsuke was about to continue hunting monsters for points, he discovered that two groups of people were fighting fiercely in front of him, while a few half-naked women were hiding in a nearby house.
From their expressions, it seemed they had given up completely and wanted to indulge in their inner darkness in their final moments.
Whether it was due to uneven distribution of spoils or a dispute over the sequence, it was unclear.
Shinsuke had no intention of getting involved with them and was about to leave to continue searching for monsters when trouble found him instead.
"Damn it, another death-seeking fool trying to take a share!"
"Let's kill this latecomer first, then fight to the death ourselves."
"Alright, I'll trust you this time. After all, we're all going to die. I'm fed up with this!"
It seemed that Shinsuke's appearance had been too eye-catching, causing the two groups who had been fighting to reach a consensus to first team up to take down the 'possible opportunistic newcomer.'
Perhaps Shinsuke's blade could intimidate these people on a normal day.
But when they were already desperate and no longer cared about anything, even their own lives, they didn't care how powerful the sword was.
It was like facing the end of the world; if everyone was about to die, would you still be terrified by a gun pointed at you?
In this state of madness and collapse, these people were driven to their breaking point.
The more they had been restrained from doing what they dared not do normally, the more they wanted to go wild in their final moments!
Shinsuke couldn't help but laugh. Since someone was seeking death, he certainly wouldn't show mercy.
It was just right to recharge his beheading sword and relight the sigils.
Perhaps because Cursed Spirits were not human, the skill effect of the Executioner's Blade, [Soul Prison], had not been triggered when killing monsters.
The only lit sigil was from the Kusa ninja he had just killed.
In this light, the [Executioner's Blade - Cursed] was actually more suitable for fighting 'humans', especially in group or chaotic battles.
If used against Cursed Spirits, its power would be significantly reduced and fail to exert its full strength.
"So, in the future, I need to get a cursed tool specifically for killing Cursed Spirits."
Shinsuke muttered to himself, not even needing to activate [Crimson Scales], and instantly charged out.
In an instant, screams and wails rang out!
Limbs and heads flew in all directions!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten people were wiped out, leaving behind a ground full of broken and unrecognizable corpses.
Shinsuke was grateful for these people's selfless contribution, using their final moments to light the sigils and create an opportunity to use [Invisible Strike].
If he subsequently eliminated all the monsters and rescued the remaining people,
There would definitely be credit due to these individuals!
It was just a pity that Shinsuke didn't know the names of these heroes, which made him feel quite regretful.
True heroes do good deeds without leaving a name!
Of course, they didn't even get the chance to write a diary.
