Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 100 "Tao" and "Heart"

The decoration inside Panxingjiao is very classical and has Buddhist style.

According to records, this was because Tengen himself was influenced by the spread of Buddhism in Japan during the Nara period.

The light from the setting sun passed through the carved glass, illuminating the three people in an orange-red color.

"Those low-level cultists probably don't know the truth... They probably think the Astral Plasma has been erased."

Xia Youjie was standing behind Su Ze, frowning and speaking slowly.

Because Fuguro Shier sent back the message in advance. Without any follow-up information, the followers of Panxing Cult must be waiting for him to bring back the corpse of "Astral Plasma".

They may be reveling – it is the core of their teachings.

Su Ze remained silent and led the way slowly through the corridor, which was the only way from the office to the outside.

"These guys don't know the truth... nor do they understand the rules of the world of sorcery..." Geto Suguru kept on talking, as if he was trying his best to convince someone.

Is it Su Ze?

Or Gojo Satoru?

...or himself?

The orange-red sunset stung his eyes.

Shigeru Sonoda is a real lunatic.

But he adhered to the so-called "doctrine". He believed that their behavior was noble and holy.

In order to realize the "doctrine", no matter what the cost, money, dignity...even life.

This is even more annoying.

That nameless fire.

squeak-

Su Ze pushed open the church door in front of him.

Inside is the hall where believers gather.

The strong light of the incandescent lamp instantly shot out from the crack in the door.

The white light was so dazzling that Xia Youjie couldn't see clearly for a moment.

He squinted slightly.

Su Ze took the lead and stepped forward.

Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru followed his steps.

clap clap clap-

Endless applause echoed in the spacious lobby.

It was like thunder, which lasted for a long time and made people dizzy.

The believers filled every crevice in the hall.

The decoration inside the church is simple and spacious, the clothes of the believers are as white as snow, and the white marble tiles reflect the light of incandescent lamps.

——It’s so dazzling that it hurts the eyes.

Su Ze walked into the crowd from the door, and they naturally made way for the three of them to pass through.

Everyone's smile was genuine, with no concealment of ecstasy or piety.

——They mistakenly thought that Su Ze and his companions were here to transport the corpse of the "Astral Plasma".

There was a clicking sound between Xia Yujie's teeth.

"Want to kill them? I should be able to do it now without hesitation."

The blood at the corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth had formed into scabs, and his tone was calm and emotionless.

His eyes were bright and deep, sparkling under the light.

"……Need not."

Xia Yujie stopped and said slowly.

"The ringleader has been killed. They are all low-level believers. There is no need to kill all these fools—"

Gojo Satoru walked past him slowly, slowly but without stopping.

Xia Youjie's pupils trembled slightly, and he stared at the light in front of him, "There is no point in killing them. This group itself has problems, and it seems that it will soon collapse--"

“What’s the meaning…” Gojo Satoru’s expression was still dull as he interrupted him softly.

“…Is this kind of thing really necessary?”

"……hold head high."

Xia Youjie responded, he felt like a huge weight was pressing on his shoulders.

"Especially for a sorcerer—"

He tried to persuade.

——That’s right.

You can't attack ordinary people.

——Otherwise, not only him, but Wu, Ze, and even Yega Zhengdao will be implicated.

--reason.

Stay sane.

The applause of the believers in front of him was so loud that he felt his heartbeat was disordered. The unspeakable depression was screaming in his mind, making him collapse.

"...Jay."

Su Ze stopped at the door. The fatigue in his voice almost overflowed, making people feel that... he seemed to be collapsing.

Xia Youjie looked up blankly and looked at Su Ze.

——Since Su Ze met Fushiguro Shige, all his behaviors have been extremely abnormal.

"I'll say it again—"

Su Ze's voice was low, but still gentle despite his lethargy.

“‘Choose your own heart, cause and effect depend on your actions, and seek your own actions in all matters.’”

The lingering sound echoed in Geto Xiayou's mind.

Something seemed to float on Su Ze's palm...

...Is it Qi?

Xia Youjie was puzzled. No... maybe he knew.

He might know what Su Ze is going to do.

Su Ze's eyes were filled with a crystal clear white light, just like when he was practicing in the past.

The difference is that the murderous intention is not concealed at all.

bass.

The "Kan" sword flew out again.

Purple light seeps into the inky black.

Wearing sound.

The dull sound of a sharp object piercing flesh.

There was no scream.

Thunderous applause.

Xia Yujie just stood there blankly.

Neither turn around nor stop.

The smell of blood seeped into every pore.

Blood splattered on his face.

A red cherry is dotted on the pale face.

-

Su Ze did not see the horrific scene with his own eyes.

However, his control over the sword and his perception of Qi reflected every inch of the situation behind him in his mind at all times.

His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he felt the blade piercing his flesh.

The previous blood loss seemed to have clouded his mind.

The black water on the sword was so heavy that it could instantly suppress the cries for help from the believers.

Suze is very tired.

Fatigue came over me like a tide.

He wanted to lie down immediately.

……

Su Ze walked on the stone road of the technical high school, followed by Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Naoko. Then came Riko and Kuroi. He was very tired.

"Suze, stop. It's not too late now--"

The young man standing in front of him was very handsome. He was wearing the uniform of Kyoto High School. His eyes were bright like flowing fire, and there seemed to be strange patterns carved in the bottom of his eyes.

——It’s Toosaka Hideno.

Su Ze has always wanted to learn from him the technique of filleting fish.

"I thought you, a bastard, were the same type as our captain - the type who would never break the rules." The blonde girl spoke sharply, with three silver earrings on her right ear.

——Tsuruna... No, it seems like you’re always called “Xiao Xi” by others.

Su Ze thought of this girl who looked like a bad girl and her strange concern about the title.

Then I thought, unexpectedly, she can make cute omelette rice.

——The college uniform doesn't suit you. It's not as lively as your JK outfit.

"——Sorry, please stop." The quiet girl, who exuded a hint of sharpness, said in a low voice.

——Akinaka, you haven’t broken up with that guy Watari Shouta, right?

Su Ze wanted to ask whether the injury on her back left any scars.

The people from Kyoto High School stood in front of them.

They haven't seen each other for almost a year since the last exchange competition.

This time they came to Tokyo High School, probably to serve as guards during the "assimilation" period, right?

——Ah, I guess you guys have been having a reversed day and night routine these days and haven’t had a good rest.

——The work of a guard must be very hard. I know that very well.

Su Ze really wanted to reminisce with them.

——Sorcerers usually have very few friends.

He is very tired.

So he slowly opened his mouth and spoke softly.

"……Step aside."

(I'll sprinkle some sugar tomorrow. I wonder if I've created that feeling of being on the verge of fatigue?)
