"You know, that day I saw the two of you with my own eyes—"
"You an the day you were hiding around the corner like a complete idiot? I always knew you were stupid, but I didn't realize soone could be this stupid."
"You're calling an idiot again—damn it, I'll kill you!"
"If you're not an idiot, then what are you? All I needed was a chance to quietly take out that piece of trash Takihata. After that, the Jashin Cult would've been ours. And what happened? You screwed everything up, you know that? You idiot, Hidan!"
Hidan hugged Takihata's head in his arms while being sprayed in the face with Shinji's spit.
"You never told what you were planning," Hidan said, his face flushed red.
"I wanted to coordinate with you, but you kept avoiding , walking around with that 'I've been dumped and wronged' look on your face. Wasn't that disgusting?!"
"I—I was just—"
Hidan panicked, completely flustered, his words tumbling over each other as his ears turned red.
"Enough. Quit the 'you, , him' nonsense. Can you still move?"
"Hmph. It's just one leg. Doesn't affect at all."
"Useless at everything except showing off. Catch!"
Hidan snatched his Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe from Shinji, then pulled a rope from his waist and tied it through the ring on the scythe's handle.
Though his body was in terrible shape, his spirit had rebounded to an unbelievable degree—almost like a dying flash of brilliance.
"I'm going to kill them all and offer every last one of them to Lord Jashin."
"Suit yourself."
Shinji glanced at the two system notifications and casually untied the broken sword from his back.
[Bond Value 100]
...
[Bond Mission Triggered: The End of the Jashin Cult]
...
[Mission: The End of the Jashin Cult]
[Objective: Join Hidan in annihilating the Jashin Cult. Kill and sacrifice all remaining cultists to Jashin.]
[Rewards: Bond Binding Voucher x1, Curse Soul Value x2000, Bond Value 100]
[PS: Too brutal, boohoo~]
...
Originally, Shinji had planned to persuade Hidan to kill so and spare so, then use the shell of the Jashin Cult to attempt a transformation.
But the mont this mission triggered, he dropped the idea entirely.
How could their lives compare to the sweetness of system rewards?
Besides, once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Hidan imdiately contributed 100 Bond Value. After completing the mission, another 100 would be added.
That would bring his Bond Value with Hidan to a brand-new high of 800!
He could practically see Domain Expansion waving at him…
It seed like a lot had happened, but in reality, it only took a few lines of dialogue.
Yet not a single person dared to launch another attack. Instead, everyone quietly began retreating.
One monster like Hidan had nearly wiped them out. Now there was another—one even more terrifying.
And this one had killed Takihata, who had been hiding who-knows-where.
Takihata was a genuine jōnin!
Otherwise, there was no way he could have kept so many people in line and grown the Jashin Cult to its current scale.
Don't underestimate a jōnin. Across the entire shinobi world, their numbers weren't large.
Anyone who reached that rank held real status, even in the Five Great Villages.
In smaller villages, they could practically walk sideways.
And yet now, Takihata—the jōnin cult leader—had died silently at Akagi Shinji's hands, his head severed.
If they didn't run now, were they waiting to die?
"You heretics… why won't you obediently surrender yourselves…?"
Balancing on one leg, Hidan suddenly hurled his Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe.
It turned into a rapidly spinning red moon, catching up in an instant to the last few stragglers.
"Ahhh!"
Amid the screams, their bodies were sliced open, blood spraying everywhere.
But instead of frightening the others, the screams only made them run faster.
After today, the Jashin Cult was destined to vanish.
They didn't want to be buried with it.
With a sharp tug on the rope, the scythe obediently flew back into Hidan's hand.
Another throw—more bodies fell.
But the efficiency was painfully low. Shinji couldn't stand it anymore and decided to step in.
He casually crushed two blood packs, compressing all the blood between his palms.
"Crimson Blood Manipulation: Supernova!"
Puh-puh-puh-puh-puh...
The compressed blood blasted forward like shotgun pellets, indiscriminately spraying ahead.
Fleeing cultists were riddled with holes one after another, collapsing into pools of blood with eyes wide open in death.
By the ti Hidan struggled to kill five or six people, Shinji was already clearing the field—at least forty or fifty had died by his hands.
Still, continuing such an easy slaughter beca difficult, as the remaining survivors scattered to other areas.
Shinji shot Hidan a look filled with disdain, which only made Hidan even angrier.
"If I hadn't been poisoned and injured, these trash would've been dead long ago!"
"Oh."
"Damn it! If you don't believe , help fix my leg. I'll hunt them all down myself—this ti you don't even need to help!"
Shinji shook his head. "Searching one by one is too troubleso. We'll just block the exits. You take the front gate. I'll take the back."
Hidan frowned. "What if they don't co out? There are enough supplies here for them to last months. I should go hunt them down and kill them all."
Shinji suddenly smiled brightly. "Relax. They'll definitely try to escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, massive amounts of black hair burst out from the ground, wrapping around the corpses and beginning to feed.
Hidan seed to have developed a conditioned response. The mont he saw it, he nearly hopped on one leg, his face turning pale.
"Quick! Get fire and oil! That thing's back again!"
"No need to be afraid. I already subdued it last ti. Now it'll obey my commands completely."
As he spoke, Shinji summoned a strand of "Little Black."
To Hidan's utter shock, Little Black rubbed itself against the back of Shinji's hand, like it was seeking affection.
"It's… that obedient?"
Unable to resist, Hidan reached out with his wandering hand.
Smack!
Little Black showed him no rcy, slapping his hand away.
At the sa ti, all the black hair feeding nearby pointed toward Hidan, ready to attack at any mont.
"Damn it! You dare hit ?! Shinji, move aside—I'm burning this thing today!"
Little Black: Burn ? I'll eat you!
Shinji hadn't expected Hidan to get into a fight with a cursed object and couldn't help laughing.
"Enough, stop ssing around. Little Black is extrely aggressive and doesn't like anyone but touching it. Rember that. Don't get yourself eaten soday—because I won't be able to help you then."
