Chapter 2429: The Cursed Manor's Boss
The trio stepped into the last floor; a huge hall made of wood stretched in front of them.
And then, someone was sitting over a throne, a single "person".n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They immediately froze upon seeing them.
TRUUUM!
The tremendous Aura of Cursed Mana and Poisonous Mana that emerged from within them was so big it twisted space itself.
Although they had seen a wooden hall when they got here, the moment they felt this "person's" Aura, everything turned into something resembling a purgatory.
Purple and black stone covered every inch, walls, ceiling, floor. Purple and Black flames surged from the ground endlessly.
And a large river of venom constantly flowed through it all.
Just being here was nauseating and was rapidly weakening their bodies and magic power! "Ugh...! T-This presence...!" Frank felt sick to the stomach. "I-I can barely breathe?!"
Ding!
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[An incredibly strong foe has appeared in front of you.]
[Their very Aura distorts space and time, creating a {Cursed Domain of Demonic Purgatory}!]
[Within this Domain, all of their foes will take constant venom and demon-type damage.]
"No way...!"
Frank gave a step back as he pushed his friends with him, he didn't even dare get closer to this being.
The more they walked through this Domain, the more damage they would receive!
The presence, who was shrouded in shadows, slowly revealed more of its silhouette, as it finally decided to speak.
"Welcome, children of a broken dream... Are you ready for despair? That is the only meal we serve here. And we like it cold."
A tall man with a slender body was all Frank could see... and also sharp, crimson eyes resembling the eyes of a snake.
The man was at least over three meters tall!
His long arms spread around, suddenly summoning dozens of snakes with him.
"{Great Curse of Yamata-No-Orochi}: {Endless Cancerous Snake Flesh}"
Suddenly, the shadows dissipated more, revealing the man's pale white skin, his body was wrapped by several white cloths, and his entire skin was covered on countless cursed marks.
Which activated as he released the snakes from his flesh, who constantly emerged like malicious tumors.
His sharp, crimson snake-like eyes glared at the trio's very souls, while his spiky blue hair was revealed, the rest of his face covered by white cloths.
"SHAAAAHHH!!"
Before they could make sense of what they were seeing, the snakes rushed towards them, they were dozens of them, each one as long as ten meters!
"D-Demonic Snakes! Careful!"
Matsuo was the first to respond, rapidly slamming the floor with his holy staff and unleashing a shockwave of exorcizing light.
FLAAASH!
The snakes didn't die instantly or something though but were barely stopped for a few seconds as they cried in pain, their eyes burning before the light.
eat them!"
"SHAAAHH!"
Three-headed snakes began to appear, as they spit large bullets made of venom against them. Frank panicked, quickly summoning a huge Yokai Umbrella.
"{Spirit-Reflecting Demon Umbrella: Kasa-obake}!"
The Umbrella started spinning rapidly, as it reflected the poison bullets as they came and sent them flying back towards their attackers, enchanted with cursed mana, they exploded.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The three-headed snake died, but two more emerged from behind her, only to receive some of the leftover damage. At the same time, the umbrella quickly disappeared.
"So I can't use it permanently but summon it once at a time? This is annoying," Frank thought. "But
it worked at least!"
"Fall into despair..." the man spoke again.
Suddenly, he grasped his own chest, tearing his flesh apart as a gigantic snake head emerged
from it, with a single crimson eye on its head.
"SHYAAAAHHH!"
"{Great Curse of Yamata-No-Orochi}: {One-Eyed Demon Snake}!"
The demon snake didn't come out fully, only its head emerged from his torn apart, bleeding
flesh, as it gathered cursed energy and then...
"FRANK!"
Matsuo and Harumi screamed, rushing towards Frank to save him as a gigantic crimson beam
of pure destructive cursed mana reached the young man.
"Ah!"
BOOOMMM!!!
The attack reached Frank, as his Aura surged, resembling a giant skeleton and taking some of
the damage before shattering into pieces, and then reappearing again to protect him once
more.
However, although he managed to survive, the leftover energy was enough to send him and
his friends flying, hitting the walls behind them.
ВАААМ! "You cling to life so meaninglessly..." the man sighed, looking down. "Its pointless. Life,
your life... it is nothing but illusions."
"A-Ahh...!" Frank began to fall into despair as the man started conjuring more, and more, and more, and
more, and more snakes.
Endlessly...
Truly endlessly...
"You will die today, I promise you."
