Chapter 78 The Physical Body

Outside the High School of Spellcasting, the wing of a drone suddenly broke off, and it spun around before plunging headfirst into the bottomless lake.

"This is really... disappointing."

In an apartment, a figure stood in front of a computer screen, staring blankly at the screen that had lost signal for a while.

After pondering for a moment, the figure got up and went to another room, gently pushing open a freezer covered with talismans.

"In that case, let's keep our original agreement."

The figure spoke slowly to the sleeping girl in the refrigerator, but received no response. The girl lay like a corpse in the freezer, which emitted cold air and cursed spirits.

The figure didn't care whether the girl agreed or not, because once the bond was established, it was irreversible and could not be broken.

She gently pulled out the sutures from the top of her head, removed the top of her head, and revealed her brain with teeth.

----------

How much longer?

In the cold sewers, in front of a cocoon-like object that resembled both amber and spider eggs, a figure dressed as an old man from the Edo period looked up at the cocoon with some curiosity.

Its head is a miniature volcano, constantly spewing hot air and lava, with only one huge eye on its twisted, pale face.

The birth of cursed spirits originates from the accumulation and fermentation of people's negative emotions, among which pure fear is most likely to give birth to powerful cursed spirits.

The being before me is a special-grade cursed spirit called the Casket, formed from humanity's fear of things like fire and erupting volcanoes.

"It will probably take a few more months."

Beside it, a tall and robust spirit with two branches growing from its eyes spoke softly in a gentle voice.

Hana-no-Mikoto, a special-grade cursed spirit, is a curse born from humanity's hatred and fear of the forest.

"That's good. Those sorcerers are getting more and more thorough in their search. I'm afraid I'll be discovered if I stay any longer."

Although the sorcerers discovered that he could kill them directly, Louhu was worried about his compatriots who were still in the infancy stage.

Cursed fetuses don't have much self-defense ability; in high-intensity battles, they are likely to be accidentally injured or even killed.

This is absolutely unacceptable for a water clock.

"...Grow up quickly, the time for the cursed spirits to roam the land openly is coming." The clepsydra stretched out a hand and pressed it on the surface of the cursed embryo, looking through the translucent embryo at one of the beings that looked like a human baby.

Seemingly sensing the benevolence of the water clock, the cursed spirit in the misty haze also stretched out its small hand and pressed it against the womb wall.

Upon seeing this, both Hana-yu and Lou-hu smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

"Clap clap clap!"

A crisp clapping sound mingled with footsteps from the darkness of the sewers.

"Well said, I also believe that day is coming soon."

"Who!" Louhu turned around abruptly, looking at the girl who emerged from the shadows.

She was a blue-black haired girl wearing a sailor uniform and a white headband, with a brand-new stitch on her forehead.

"Human, sorcerer... no, why is there also the aura of a cursed spirit? What exactly are you?!" Two miniature volcanoes, plugged by insects, sprouted from the sewer wall. Louhu looked at the being before him with a wary expression, whose aura he could not even detect.

"Who I am is not important; what matters is that I can help you reach the world of your dreams."

Before the water clock could even open, the girl slowly formed a hand seal.

Immediately afterwards, Louhu and Huayu felt a huge, pure malice mixed with curse power surge out from below and pour into the cursed embryo.

The baby inside the cursed fetus began to grow at a visible rate, slowly transforming from an infant into a child, and then into a teenager covered in sutures.

Logically, a fully grown cursed spirit should break free from its cursed embryo and emerge, but with the girl's help, it continues to slumber and grow.

An aura that even Louhu and Huayu could sense as threatening slowly emanated from the cursed embryo.

"What did you do!?" Louhu looked at the being, who was neither human nor spirit, in surprise.

"It's nothing," the girl said with a smile, holding up a finger to her lips. "Just a little bit of sincerity."

An aura that made even cursed spirits like Louhu and Huayu feel the need to be close to and submit naturally emanated from the girl.

"..."

The water clock remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Tell me your plan."

"Hmm~" The girl tapped her chin with her raised finger and asked thoughtfully, "Compared to that, what do you think of sorcerers?"

Although he didn't know why the girl suddenly brought this up, Louhu still honestly said, "They are the greatest enemies of our cursed spirits, beings that we must eliminate to realize our dreams."

"Kill them all, every single one of them."

"You want to kill them all? Then do you even know who is considered the strongest in the world of sorcery—Gojo Satoru?"

"The strongest?" Louhu scoffed disdainfully, lava overflowing from his head. "He's nothing but a clown jumping around."

"Is that so?" The girl remained noncommittal. "Most sorcerers are nothing to fear for you, but you are only one person. Including your friend beside you and the one inside the cursed embryo, how can you protect your fellow cursed spirits against such a vast number of sorcerers?"

"...There will be a way, if only we had more powerful cursed spirits." The water clock said somewhat angrily, "I'm the one asking you a question, get that straight!"

Feeling the rising temperature around her, the girl pressed her hand down and pulled a scroll from her bosom: "Okay, okay, don't be angry."

The scroll unfurled, revealing three twisted fingers wrapped inside.

The moment it appeared, a terrifying curse and malice surged forth, causing Louhu's expression to change.

"These are the fingers of the cursed king Sukuna from a thousand years ago. If we can use the flesh to bring Sukuna back to the world, destroying sorcerers will be a piece of cake."

Although startled by the malice and cursed power contained in Sukuna's fingers, Louhu was still somewhat unconvinced: "Are you saying that I'm inferior to Sukuna?"

The girl did not answer directly, but simply said, "Su Nuo sealed all his soul and power into his fingers, and there are twelve such fingers in total."

The water clock's enormous single eye suddenly opened wide.

You should know that although the power emanating from the fingers in front of you is not as strong as your own, it is quite close.

This is only a small part of Su Nuo's fingers!

"I understand, I'll trust you for now."

"What's your name?"

"Me?" The girl pondered for a moment before speaking, "You can call me Tennari Riko."

After saying that, Riko Tennen took out three glass jars containing dead embryos: "Then, let's begin the first step."
