Taiichiro nodded and said.
"Of course, breaking this curse has always been my wish."
This time, I'm about 80% confident I can kill him.
Ron shook his head and said.
"No, we don't have enough information right now."
They had no idea where his weaknesses lay.
The weaknesses you listed cannot be considered weaknesses without practical application.
Taichiro said.
"When we fought him, we were always inside his body."
And once I reached outside the body, I was tracking you and trying to save you.
I was able to sense your presence at that time, which is why I was able to rescue you.
Although we missed that opportunity, I was able to tell back then that the longsword in my hand could harm him.
It can cleave open the tunnels he created.
Ron nodded; that was indeed the case back then.
As he continued to fall through that dark tunnel.
He could indeed sense Taiichiro's presence and the swordsmanship he was using.
But at the time he believed that the passage was not part of the curse at all.
Inside that passage, he couldn't hear the curse speaking at all.
Taiichiro gazed at the drawing he had made, his eyes filled with determination.
"I believe this time it will work, please believe me, but I need your help."
I can't defeat him by myself alone.
Ron looked troubled, though he wouldn't mind accompanying Taichiro.
No matter what dangers he faced, Ron was willing to take the risk as long as he could break the curse.
But this time he realized that their preparations were not sufficient.
To break this curse, mere conjecture is not enough.
Ron said.
“I think it’s a bit risky to go to him now. We should think it over and decide on a later date.”
Choose the best option.
Taiichiro frowned.
"Do we still need to make a decision? No, I can't wait that long."
I must put it into practice now; I'm confident my judgment is correct.
He looked at Ron.
"I believe you can definitely help me."
Ron said.
"But all of this is based on assumptions and has not actually caused him any real harm."
Even though you used your longsword to cleave that passage, we still didn't feel that the curse was harmed.
He can still easily take us into his body.
Taiichiro let out a long sigh.
He said.
"I have devoted many years of my life to studying the curse."
Although I had never actually fought him before.
But this encounter taught me a lesson: my previous guess might very well be correct.
After saying that, he placed the picture in front of Ron again.
"Every breakthrough requires practice."
Only through practice can you understand whether the conclusions you drew before were correct.
Only in this way can you make progress.
Trust me, please help me.
Looking at Taichiro's pleading eyes, Ron immediately softened.
Although he knew this was a risky move, he had no choice but to nod.
He had already formed a deep friendship with Taichiro during the previous battle.
This friendship transcends life and death; they have come a long way together through thick and thin.
Seeing Ron nod, Taiichiro immediately smiled.
"That's excellent. I'm confident you won't let me down."
After saying that, he put the painting away and found two more long swords.
And he handed one to Ron.
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain now."
Ron, who was recovering from his serious injuries, still felt somewhat lacking in strength.
Although he had slept for three days and three nights, the wound would take even longer to heal.
He does not possess the same extraordinary self-healing ability as Taichiro.
So he feels extremely tired right now.
But Taichiro's eagerness was too much to bear.
He knew that Taiichiro was now desperate to kill the curse.
Once he realizes that his previous conclusions were correct, he will certainly not be willing to wait any longer.
Ron followed Taichiro, and the two went up the mountain again.
Despite the bright sunshine, they could feel a chilling aura emanating from the mountain.
A very strong smell of curse still emanated from the hillside not far away.
When he smelled that aroma, Taiichiro frowned slightly.
This must have left a shadow in his heart.
The battle three days ago almost cost him his life.
Having barely escaped, they're now thinking of walking right back into a trap.
Taichiro gritted his teeth and said.
"No matter what we face, only unwavering faith can annihilate them all."
These curses protect humanity, and we are its defenders.
We must not shirk our responsibilities.
After saying that, he drew his long sword and charged madly toward the small wooden house.
Ron followed closely behind Taichiro.
194. The Curse Appears
He could sense that Taichiro had indeed made great progress in the past three days.
The aura he exuded was completely different from that of three days ago.
Now, when he picked up that long sword, he seemed to transform into the sword, becoming one with it.
As he moved, Ron could sense that what was running ahead of him wasn't a human, but rather a long sword hurtling away.
With a muffled boom, Taiichiro swung his long sword down fiercely.
He wanted to smash the cabin to pieces.
Ron could even see the long sword in Taichiro's hand seem to extend several meters forward.
It was actually a surging blade of energy that struck the cabin in an instant.
To Ron's surprise, the cabin remained completely still.
Taiichiro, however, flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground.
He stood up in surprise, not expecting that his all-out attack had failed to smash the cabin.
“What’s going on?” Ron asked.
He could also sense the powerful aura emanating from the cabin.
