❝DAMN,❞ Akira expelled a measured breath, her eyes fixed on the colossal, ominous curse that loomed before them. Its towering figure cast a dark shadow, its muscular form exuding an intimidating presence. The creature's mouth hung wide open, resembling a predator sizing up its prey.
The gravity of the situation gripped Akira, and her instincts surged. Slowly, she flexed her fingers, gathering the crackling energy of thunder. A quick glance at Megumi conveyed a silent understanding; an unspoken agreement passed between them, a testament to their shared experience in battles.
"Sir!" Akira’s commanding voice cut through the tension, addressing the driver. "On the count of three, you've got to take the car and go! Alright?" She positioned herself to approach the curse from the left, while Megumi readied himself to strike from the right.
"But─" the driver attempted to protest.
"It's fine! Just do as I say!" Akira’s anger surged, and the driver, recognizing the urgency in her tone, hesitantly nodded.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
With synchronized precision, Akira and Megumi initiated their assault from opposite sides. Megumi summoned his demon dogs, and Akira unleashed a thunder strike with unwavering determination. The clash between their combined abilities and the massive curse created a tempest of power that resonated through the enveloping darkness.
To their astonishment, the curse displayed an unsettling ability to adapt. It dispersed and then reformed into seven distinct entities, each representing one of the seven deadly sins. Akira’s shocked reaction mirrored Megumi's disbelief, setting the stage for an even more challenging battle against this grotesque manifestation of malevolence.
"WHAT?!" Akira exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief. "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK."
The curses were named - Wrath, Sloth, Envy, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Pride.
Akira raised her hand, illuminating the night sky with lightning and thunder. "I'll take these four," she declared, pointing confidently at the first four curses, her gaze locked onto Megumi.
"No, you're definitely not taking this lust bastard," Megumi snapped, his protective instincts flaring.
"Do you really think that it's time to─" Before Akira could utter another word, the Wrath curse attacked, but she skillfully dodged its tail, though it caused her to stumble. Meanwhile, the Pride curse focused its assault on Megumi, who was shielded by his loyal demon dogs. In a swift second, Wrath, Sloth, and Envy encircled Akira, while Greed, Gluttony, and Pride surrounded Megumi.
"Goddamn it!" Akira positioned herself defiantly between the curses. "Three versus one, huh?" She smirked, locking eyes with the Wrath curse. "Fine. You're first."
