I was blinded by the heavy downpour, completely drenched. A sharp pain, coursed throughout my lower abdomen, as I slightly stumbled back, my grip on my cursed polearm tightening.
I placed my hand over the now bleeding wound, feeling my blood starting to mix with the rainwater, soaking my uniform even more. The blood flow was heavy, the wound was deep and feeling the rain soak into my freshly cut wound made the pain more intense.
My eyes darted around to try and locate the curse, but it was to no use. I placed my hand over the wound to try and stop some of the blood flow, but at this point I my vision starting to get a bit hazy, and I was unsure if the liquid I was touching was rain or my own blood.
An attack like this must have been planned. A flurry of special grade curses were sent after me on the anonymous mission I was sent on, with barely any information on what I was supposed to do. Everything lined up perfectly. Perhaps this was an assassination plan to get rid of me? Whatever it was, it seemed to be working, because if I don't do something about the amount of blood, I'm losing things could get bad.
I didn't have enough cursed energy to attack, or simply teleport away. Somehow while fighting I felt my cursed energy being drained slowly but didn't pay much attention to it, focusing on what was happening in the battle. What a foolish mistake, but at this point I was far too exhausted to think about it.
"You know," I started off quietly, "Satoru would probably laugh at me if I died like this," a slight smile tugged on my lips as I sighed.
"It isn't actually raining, is it?" I say, half expecting an answer from the curse. "This is your domain expansion, and I'm trapped inside. That's why my cursed energy was being drained and I couldn't figure out why. Your domain expansion blinds your opponent with rainfall, so you get a chance to attack them, as they're trying to defend you drain their cursed energy." I paused, registering all that information, possibly thinking of a way to escape the domain expansion. "This is ridiculous," I say looking around. "I can't use my cursed techniques, because I'd get electrocuted. I don't have enough cursed energy to use my domain expansion. This really was planned, wasn't it? All the cursed techniques perfectly balance against my own meaning I can barely do any damage or none at all." I say taking a step back. "Answer me dammit. I know you can hear me." I say as I closed one of my eyes to focus on where I felt the strongest pinpoint of cursed energy.
