last update2024-12-19 06:27:49

Evil Buddha who had just stepped out of the shadows to stop the Hellhound from escaping suddenly narrowed his eyes after seeing the Hellhound chew on the horn which he had been holding. As a Shadow he wasn't afraid of most attacks as he could always use the shadows to navigate around them. He could also use the shadows to give sudden attacks, making it very difficult to be guarded against. Hence he wasn't afraid of the Demon in front of him even though he could use Demonic Fire and Fire Blending.

Evil Buddha had hidden in the shadows, witnessing the fight within the Hellhound and Daniel. He had also observed when he fought Bloody Mary, studying his combat style and Cursed powers. With this he was able to gain overall knowledge of the Cursed powers the Demon had even though he didn't know their names. As a Shadow he was adept in combat observation and could directly copy a combat style of an opponent, mastering it. Hence he was able to quickly deduce the three Cursed powers the Hellhound showed.

So when the Hellhound finally escaped from Bloody Mary, he decided to strike and not let it escape! After all he had learnt of the Hellhound's abilities and had abilities to counter it!

Seeing the Hellhound suddenly chew the horn made Evil Buddha to attack immediately. He already guessed that this Hellhound had already consumed the essence of the next Cursed path and was trying to advance. The horn obviously contained the essence of the next Cursed path!

Evil Buddha immediately took out several papers shaped like daggers from the pockets of his trenchcoat, his eyes zeroing in on the Hellhound. He arched his back and suddenly threw out the papers in his hands at the Hellhound.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The papers seemed to transform into very sharp swords as they flew towards the Hellhound! Any object in the hands of a Shadow would become a lethal weapon!

Boom!

The Hellhound immediately created a storm of Demonic Fire which shot towards the incoming paper swords, burning them instantly to ashes. The Demonic Fire surged towards Evil Buddha but he had already sank into his shadow a long time ago before it had the effect of burning his soul.

He travelled through a dark space devoid of any light. The various objects around him appeared in shadows, illusory in nature and couldn't be discerned. This was the shadow world which Shadows used to travel. Obviously they were the only ones who could read the coordinates of this shadow world, deducing where they corresponded with the real world!

Soon Evil Buddha saw an illusory figure before him writhing in pains. He immediately ran past him before appearing behind him. Then he took out a card from his pocket and stabbed at the neck of the Hellhound!

The Hellhound was in a great pain from suddenly consuming the Mutant essence when his mental and spiritual state was not alright. He felt his entire body and essence as they began mutating. At times various eyeballs would grow on his body and at times his body would split into two. This phenomenon was extremely bizarre and painful, assaulting him physically, mentally and spiritually!

Suddenly something stabbed him in the neck, causing black blood to spurt out. The Shadow has suddenly appeared behind him, delivering his attack!

Not bad...the Hellhound thought within himself. Now...that...you're...very...close... He couldn't complete his thoughts because of the various anomalies going on with his body from consuming the Mutant essence without a good mental state.

Suddenly Evil Buddha's reflex actions kicked in without him sensing any danger. He couldn't even control his body as he sank into his shadow instantly!

Boom!

The Hellhound exploded into several balls of Demonic Fire before converging some meters away. Due to the state he was in currently, he couldn't maintain his Fire Blending for so long. It would make him become irrational, transforming into a true monster!

Evil Buddha came out of the shadow of a car, his eyes flickering for a second before becoming normal. He then muttered to himself, "Thankfully Doppelgangers possess supernatural reflexes or else I wouldn't have been able to react in time..."

At that moment the Hellhound decided to transform into his Hellhound form! With a loud growl which shook Evil Buddha's very soul, causing him to immediately sink into another shadow to escape such a horrifying effect, the Hellhound transformed into a large hellhound amidst several cracks and tearing of clothes!

He was now engulfed in flames of demonic fire which caused the surrounding to instantly heat up, his eyes burning with rage. Two horns had grown on his head, his mouth opening to reveal a set of fangs which were red hot. He had finally transformed into his Hellhound form!

Evil Buddha immediately jumped out of the shadow of a building, landing on the ground before rolling nimbly and getting up to his feet. His body then began morphing as his clothes seemed to become illusory. His muscles twisted and contracted as he rapidly transformed into a hellhound. Demonic Fire spread across his entire body as a pair of horns grew on his head amidst an extremely painless expression. He had transformed into the Hellhound in front of him!

Shadows could also transform into others, mimicking everything about their physical appearance. But once they transform into a target for more than ten minutes, the target would die and they would be able to gain their identity for some time! And this was what Evil Buddha was planning to do!

Although Evil Buddha wouldn't be able to get the Hellhound's abilities, he would be still able to kill him in ten minutes. What other effect would be better than this?

Seeing an identical looking hellhound in front of him, the Hellhound couldn't help but have mixed emotions. He had always heard about Doppelgangers in his past life and had even met them. But he has never experienced this terrifying ability of transforming into someone else to steal their identities! It was said that for ordinary people they would die once this happened and their identities would forever belong to the Shadow. Whereas for a Cursed their identity would be only stolen temporarily at the same Cursed path for a limited amount of time.

Without wasting time the Hellhound spat out a large ball of Demonic Fire at Evil Buddha. Although he knew that this wouldn't harm the Shadow in any way as he could always escape, he needed to do anything to divert his attention.

Evil Buddha didn't panic and immediately blended with the shadows, watching as the Demonic Fire crashed to the ground amidst a loud explosion. He then traveled through the shadows around, jumping out of the shadow world onto the Hellhound's back. He then opened his large mouth and bit down on the Hellhound's shoulder.

Roar!

The Hellhound roared painfully as he attempted to use Fire Blending again but the Shadow has already vanished, leaving him in anger and frustration. But at that moment he felt a strange phenomenon within him. All the mutations that had been going on within him suddenly calmed down as if they had never existed to begin with. The former Path three Demon had finally advanced to become a Path four, Mutant!

Although his mental and spiritual state was still turbulent, this didn't stop him from organizing his thoughts to deal a damage to this annoying Shadow. He immediately used his newly gained ability to attack the Shadow!

Mutating!

His entire body split open with countless eyeballs with mouths embedded within them. These eyeballs blinked slowly, producing several statements that would cause even Cursed to freeze in fear.

"I've gotten you, haha!"

"It's your time to die!"

"Die, you pest!"

"..."

Evil Buddha who had exited the shadow world suddenly froze, his entire body becoming mutated the moment he saw the newly advanced Mutant. His torso wriggled as he felt arms trying to rupture it to surface to the outside world.

The surrounding wasn't spared as cars around became covered with hairs while trees grew fleshy limbs and began walking around while yelling incoherent statements! This scene was extremely bizarre, making Evil Buddha to shudder in terror.

At some point of time Crimson Wolf Daniel had already reached the scene with Bloody Mary in order to help Evil Buddha who had been hiding in the shadows to attack the Hellhound. Suddenly he and Bloody Mary saw the Mutant, their bodies experiencing mutations instantly.

Daniel immediately transformed into a large werewolf against his will. Several organs grew out of his body, writhing as they tried to extricate themselves from him. He opened his mouth and tried to growl but couldn't as his tongue had transformed into a mass of intestines covered with grasses.

This...Daniel suddenly thought in terror, his eyes widening. I'm...My rationality...is...gradually...slipping...away...

On the other hand, Bloody Mary's bloody gown transformed into a heavy skin covered with objects such as plastic, leather and glass. The ghastly faces on her gown transformed into countless eyeballs with mouths, screaming as they bit down on her!

The buildings all over the entire street transformed into blobs of flesh with countless hairs while the occupants began dissolving into streams of flesh and blood!

The newly Path four, Mutant who couldn't control his Cursed power effectively had just used his appearance to cause a mass area mutation on his targets and surrounding!

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Daniel coughed out his intestines one after the other, all of them transforming into snakes which slithered away. His vision blurred as his body weakened. As a Path two, Wolfman he couldn't endure the mutation for a long period of time like Bloody Mary and Evil Buddha. He was gradually becoming irrational and would soon transform into a monster!

"No!" he yelled as he used the last will and strength he had left to lung at the Mutant, his body slowly reverting into his human form. Only his arms remained in their werewolf form.

But before he could even get close to the Mutant, his feet transformed into roots which drilled themselves to the ground! At that moment he felt his mind turn adrift, various creatures and their DNAs surfacing within it. At times he would feel like a leopard and at times like a hedgehog.

This...Daniel who suddenly realized that he had harmonized his Cursed path collapsed to the ground, vomiting several strands of hairs which grew limbs and crawled away rapidly.

"Hahaha!" the Mutant laughed crazily. "Even the Specter stands no chance against me! You should have let me go when you had the chance!"

"What chance?" the Mutant who had thought he had everything under control suddenly froze. He turned his head upwards only to see another male figure dressed in the same red trenchcoat as the two Cursed who had attacked him. This figure was standing on the last floor of a building with six floor, his blue eyes zeroed in on him.

Not good...the Mutant thought within himself as he made up his mind to escape. He was still unstable from having to consume a Mutant essence in a haste without stabilizing his physical and mental condition. He had only wanted to deal with the Specter, the Shadow and Wolfman for creating so much trouble for him. Who would have thought another Cursed would arrive?!

This figure was none other than Crimson Moon who was to serve as backup in case of an emergency. Several colours of liquids were twirling around him, illuminating his gorgeous face.

The Mutant didn't hesitate any longer as he dissolved into countless pathogens, spreading in different locations till he finally vanished. This made Crimson Moon Orpheus to narrow his eyes but he ultimately didn't choose to chase after the Mutant. After all, he wasn't sure about the other party's ability.

He caused the potions twirling around him to fly into the air, fusing to form a thick mist which covered half of the street. He watched as the mutated objects around receded, transforming to normal.

Crimson Wolf Daniel, Evil Buddha David and Bloody Mary rapidly recovered, no longer showing bizarre signs of mutating. Compared to the former two who were almost unconscious, Bloody Mary appeared relatively strong after recovering.

At that moment they saw a ball of light appear over the street, sending a white radiance which swept across the entire street. Everything that was mutated immediately reverted to become normal.

"The Special Cops have arrived," Crimson Moon Orpheus said from where he was standing as a potion appeared in front of him, burgeoning to form a crimson portal. "We need to get out of here."

Although he was now the wealthiest person on Earth and had tried registering Curious Mythologists as a legal organization, he was met with a great failure. He was lucky to have not used his real identity or body back then or else the official Cursed would have apprehended him on spot. He had only used a robot to facilitate the transaction and it ended up getting killed.

So the best thing to do right now was escaping now that the Special Cops had arrived. They didn't want to clash with the official Cursed and end up becoming an evil organization instead of just a secret organization.

Bloody Mary immediately grabbed Daniel and Evil Buddha, her body vanishing into the spirit world as Crimson Moon stepped into the blood red portal which closed immediately.

Soon there was a white brilliance, a man dressed in a silvery starchy police uniform appearing. His hair was white, his eyes seemingly golden. There was a holy and solemn yet terrifying aura emanating from him.

"Such vileness!" he clasped his hands together, closing his eyes as he transformed into a blinding sunlight in the dark night. "Such corruption and dirtiness!"

Soon the light cleared, the man vanishing from where he had been standing. All that was left were the echoes of his voice which contained solemnity and holiness.

    Orpheus stepped out of the portal, appearing in a dark street which was several miles far from the street where they had fought with the Path four, Mutant. Soon after, Bloody Mary materialized. She was holding the unconscious Daniel and semi conscious Evil Buddha who was breathing slowly.Orpheus didn't say anything as he created three potions and caused them to swirl in the air. They had the potency of curing the mutation caused by the Path four, Mutant. He then made them float towards Bloody Mary and the rest."Drink it to eradicate whatever residual effects that mutation would have left behind," Orpheus said with his chin slightly raised. "I don't want something suddenly happening to you three all of a sudden."Bloody Mary immediately shot him a glance, causing his facial muscles to quiver in fear. Without saying anything she possessed Daniel, causing him to open his mouth in order to swallow the floating potion. She also did the same to Evil Buddha before taking the potion herself

    After spending several minutes in the Museum Daniel finally decided to return to the physical world. Tapping the bracelet on his left wrist, a small holographic screen suddenly appeared. It displayed the map of Crimson Springs, showing several locations.Another attribute of the high tech device created by Orpheus' workers was that it also allowed one to teleport from the virtual reality to any location chosen. As long as the location didn't exceed Crimson Springs, Daniel could teleport anywhere. Well, only the locations displayed on the holographic screen could be teleported to.Silently he chose Bradbury Street where he and his mom was now residing. After having their former street attacked by Dracula, the previous king of Crimsones, Daniel had requested that day park. The Special Cops had discovered that the corresponding area had been tainted by the aura of the Crimson King so they decided to shut down the street in order to resolve the anomaly. If this wasn't done then the aura w

    After some moments Daniel broke the silence, "You've beat me in every aspect.""Why do you sound as if you're unintelligent?" Selene rolled her eyes. "Everyone knows the Crimsone Cursed paths are easier to harmonize than the Lycanthrope Cursed type."No Miss, Daniel thought inwardly. I'm the one who's not outstanding enough..."Stop with the sour expression or you're gonna make me angry," Selene faked an angry expression."Okay, okay," Daniel smiled. "I was just upset that I didn't get the chance to harmonize the Wolfman Cursed path and advance to the corresponding Cursed path.""It's normal," Selene said. "As someone who gained the Primordial Wolf's attention and even got possessed to save the entire world, it's normal you'd feel that way."Daniel heaved a sigh as he said, "You're right. I just feel saddled with so much responsibility. I have the strong urge to become more powerful so that I would be able to protect the people I love."When Selene heard the last statement, her eyes t

His brown eyes were deep and calm as if he didn't care about anything in this world.Some months ago Mr. Stark had left his family to begin another long adventure by the order of Angel Michael who was possessing him. Angel Michael had told him that they would be going to find the Gates of Hell in the real world.Although he didn't know why the angel was so bent on finding the Gates of Hell, he still complied.

    The sea continued rippling and producing several walls of water which kept on rising till they blocked the sun from everyone's sights. Then they crashed onto the two ships.The Witches on the Apostate immediately pressed their hands together, creating powerful hexes which surrounded the ship. When the waves of water came close to the ship, they emitted sizzling sounds as they quickly evaporated.The Cursed on Mr. Stark's ship also reacted, using their various Cursed powers to stop the waves of water from crashing onto the ship. They were successful but then more waves kept on rising.At that time a faint light was reflected from the bottom of the sea, causing the powers of all the Cursed in both ships to reduce by half! No, it wasn't that their powers was reduced by half. It was the unknown power coming from the bottom of the sea that was rapidly increasing!The Soulless Emperor frowned instantly, feeling a great burning sensation. He wasn't the only one affected on the Apostate but t

    The Leviathan roared, sneezing primordial energies from its nostrils as it glared at the ship which was as tiny as an ant. Suddenly, another body began growing from underneath its neck. It expanded till there were two bodies under the neck of the Leviathan."Just what the hell is this..." Dantes moved back in fear as he looked at Mr. Stark."Don't worry, we'll get out of here..." Mr. Stark said immediately. "Please you all should stop staring at the Leviathan or it's..."He had not finished his words when most of the members of his crew exploded into blobs of wriggling flesh. These blobs immediately transformed into countless tiny snakes, rushing towards the very few who had not been staring at the Leviathan due to fear."That's the Mutating ability of a Path four, Mutant of the Demon Cursed type," Michael said within my mind. "At this level it has evolved into something very frightening. If not for me casting an angel level Purifying on this ship then the ship itself would have trans

    It was around 6:30am but Daniel was still sleeping like a log of wood. Even when the alarm clock kept on ringing he didn't wake up. It was as if he had been transported out of his body to another world. In the end it was Caroline who went to turn off the alarm with a deep frown before going to sleep in the bed beside Daniel."I can't sleep at night and I can't sleep at day..." she muttered to herself in complaint. "My life is such a miserable mess..."But of course no one could hear her so she continued sulking till she fell silent and finally closed her eyes, falling asleep like Daniel who was yet to wake up.A couple of minutes later there was the sound of footsteps hurrying towards the door. The doorknob shook for some time without opening till the other party finally realized that it was futile opening the door. Daniel had already locked it before going to bed.Instead of calling Daniel's name in order to wake him up or banging the door, the person who had been trying to open the

    As Daniel rushed out of the house towards the garage to get his bicycle, he was filled with mixed feelings. It had been a very long period of time since the school was closed down due to the haunted house and ritual incidents. Due to this several students decided to enroll in other schools in Crimson Springs. It wasn't as if Crimson High School was the only school in the city.Hence, Daniel felt that the school wouldn't be as bustling as it used to be. There would be a fewer number of students and teachers and that would make the school atmosphere somewhat boring."The school being boring should be the least of my concerns right now," Daniel muttered to himself as he sat on his bicycle and pedaled it out of the compound. "That Demon who caused so much destruction and almost killed us all is still on the loose. He should be the one I should be worrying about."With his strength as a Wolfman he was able to pedal the bicycle so quick that people who saw him stopped to look at him in shoc

    It was unknown how long Mr. Stark was unconscious. Earlier he alongside his crew members had been sucked into the vortex within the sea and they would have already been dead if not for Michael's intervention. With the amount of speed with which they were pulled downwards, there entire bodies would have been reduced to nothing.They had fallen for what seemed like eternity, Michael's protection over them thinning with each passing moment. It was like a more powerful force was at work here and it was only a matter of time before Michael's powers eventually wore out.The screams of the other crew members had filled the ship as they begged God for mercy, some of them forgetting that they had been atheists only a few moments ago. And at this point of time their Cursed powers were rendered futile by the unknown force. Hence they were left at the mercy of fate.Finally they fell into a swath of darkness and lost their consciousnesses instantly. The darkness seemed to swallow their entire exi

    So now I'm a Shapeshifter, Daniel thought within himself as he closed his eyes and stood up gently. Instantly information about the Shapeshifter Cursed path began entering into his mind. It was as if an unknown existence was injecting him with the knowledge about his Cursed path. At that moment he knew everything about being a Shapeshifter.A Shapeshifter was a Cursed who coulf transform into any kind of animal. They were no longer restricted by transforming into werewolves like the previous Werewolf and Wolfman Cursed paths. Hence, the reason John was able to transform into the rhinoceros from earlier.And one peculiar thing about the Shapeshifter transformation was that it occured in a magical way. One could transform and still retain what they wore after reverting to their original forms. It eradicated the trouble of having to carry extra clothes or running around naked.By now John and the nine Wolfmen had recovered from the strange terrifying aura from earlier. The Wolfmen didn't

    Master of Beasts? Daniel thought within himself, figuring out what this Cursed path was all about. Although the man didn't tell him what the name of the Cursed path was, he could already guess the abilities from the name and what the man displayed here just now.From a normal point of view, one would think that the Master of Beasts was someone who had the ability to manipulate animals and monsters alike. The 'Master' here would refer to someone with ability of taming beasts. But Daniel was intelligent and figured out everything. In fact this wasn't a big deal because anyone in his shoes would be able to figure out something after encountering the Path three Lycanthrope who was calling himself the Master of Beasts.Does this mean he can transform into any animal he wants? Daniel thought within himself, narrowing his eyes. By now he had completely healed from all the injuries but didn't dare stand up. This was because he was very much aware he was outmatched in every aspect. There was n

The impact sent him flying into the air, causing him to crash into a tree before falling to the ground with a loud thud."Ugh..." Daniel groaned in pain as he grabbed his right side which had been hit by the rhinoceros, feeling a few bones which had dislocated from the impact. Although he was going to heal from the injury it was still very painful.He was still thinking when he saw the rhinoceros halt after taking several steps. It then turned around and glared at him with its brown glowing eyes before snorting. Just seeing this monster glaring at him caused his entire body to go limp.

  • Chapter Eighteen: Danger

    Chapter Eighteen: Danger Classes went on uneventfully that same day. Maybe it was because it was the first day of school but there weren't many teachers who struck Daniel as interesting. Or maybe he was too intelligent to be interested in whatever they were teaching. And as they taught, whiling away their time he would make some scribblings on his notebook as he continued to think about the next Cursed path he was going to advance to. He was entirely restless about the entire matter. During lunchtime he immediately turned to look at Selene who had been sitting behind all this while, wanting to ask her to go to the cafeteria with him. But at that moment she received a call, a delightful expression blooming across her face. "What's the matter?" Daniel asked as he stood up. "You seem very happy today." "Do I not always look happy?" Selene asked, raising her eyebrows. "Looking happy is different from being genuinely happy," Daniel replied. "You're right," Selene let out a sigh. "Aft

He might have taken down these criminals but that didn't mean that he would be able to also defeat the cops when they would arrive to apprehend him. What if there were Special Cops among them and they were all higher than his Cursed path?"We need to get out of here real quick, Uriel," Jackson immediately said, waiting for Uriel to take over his body. This would allow Uriel to use shadow traveling to leave this place immediately."You see why I'm always disappointed in you?" Uriel grumbled within Jackson's head. "You've been my vessel for over a year now and you can't even use my Cursed powers actively. You always wait for me to take full control over you to do so.""You haven't taught me," Jackson said as he held the box close to his chest. It was as if he was afraid the box would suddenly get lost."I don't need to tea

"It has all kinds of artefacts—""I thought I told you that I've changed," Jackson said, narrowing his eyes as he kept on looking down the street."If you've changed then why do you want to rob a gang?" the voice asked again with a touch of mockery in his voice."Uriel, you just said it," Jackson said. "I'm trying to rob a gang."At that moment Uriel clicked his tongue within Jackson's head as he said, "It would be boring.
