Chapter 10

Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of disbelief flashed in her pupils.

Lin En, that demon!

Actually pushed her, a beautiful girl, out without hesitation, letting her face the curse spirits alone??

She wanted to curse something.

But looking at the approaching curse spirits, Utaha Kasumigaoka's heart tightened; there was no time to condemn Lin En.

What to do?

What should she do?

Right!

Demon Book!

She is a Scribe Demon!

Don't underestimate her just because of mere curse spirits!

She opened the Demon Book suddenly, preparing to have a hearty fight!

Slap!

Utaha Kasumigaoka closed the Demon Book with force.

Those clean, white pages made her feel despair.

She had just become a 'Scribe Demon' and hadn't recorded any abilities at all!

"You can see it!!"

The roaring sound of the curse spirit drew closer.

The foul breath rushed toward her, blowing her long black hair, blowing her brain into a blank space.

"Don't come over here!!"

Instinctively, Utaha Kasumigaoka swung the Demon Book in her hand!

Boom!

A strong airflow whistled in the small alleyway.

It's the Swing-Utaha!

Utaha-beast activated the skill Swing-Utaha, with excellent effect!

"Arghhhhhh!!"

The curse spirit was hit by the Demon Book, only having time to scream once before it began to dissipate.

Utaha Kasumigaoka carefully opened one eye, and seeing the curse spirit dissipate, she said in disbelief: "This is... what I did?"

"Well done, Utaha-beast."

Lin En walked to her side and encouraged her.

Seeing Lin En, Utaha Kasumigaoka breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him with resentful eyes.

Lin En didn't feel any guilt at all.

Joke, as a Familia member, if she doesn't hurry up and level up to support him, her master, what else could she be expected to do?

Besides, Lin En couldn't really watch Utaha Kasumigaoka die in front of him.

This kind of curse spirit is very weak; even if Utaha Kasumigaoka stood still, it probably couldn't break her defense.

She is a Lower-Class Demon, after all.

"How does it feel?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka glared at him fiercely, took a deep breath to calm her mood, and regained her composed appearance: "Not bad."

Lin En chuckled; if he hadn't witnessed Utaha Kasumigaoka's posture just now, he might have believed it.

"Since it's not bad, then continue?"

"Huh?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka was stunned.

"Just kidding."

Utaha Kasumigaoka said speechlessly: "I can't hear any hint of a joke."

Lin En ignored her complaint and said: "Adapt a little today, and start officially fighting monsters to level up tomorrow."

Utaha Kasumigaoka's face twitched slightly, and she remained silent.

Seeing this, Lin En walked toward the outside of the alley.

Utaha Kasumigaoka subconsciously followed.

After exiting the alley, Lin En looked up slightly, pointed forward with his chin, and said: "Don't you want to become stronger?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka looked in the direction he pointed, and saw curse spirits everywhere on the street, either standing or squatting, in various postures.

What they had in common was that each of them was asking the same question to passersby.

"Can you see it?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka opened her mouth, and after a long silence, she said: "... Has Japan fallen?"

Curse spirits!

So many curse spirits!

"These curse spirits, and the one you just eliminated, are just some low-class curse spirits."

Low-class.

Utaha Kasumigaoka's hand tightened.

She understood what Lin En meant.

Low-class means there are even stronger curse spirits.
