Chapter 2432: Memories Amidst Suffering

Frank did the only thing left for him to do and started eating the cursed snakes that Koga Saburo summoned before they were to disappear after dying.

The only way was by eating them while they were alive, grabbing them, binding them with magic, and taking bites out of their scales and flesh.

The flavor was disgusting, but the more he ate, the more their power, their curse, flowed through his body.

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

"Nnnggh...! Nngaaaarrrggh!"

As Frank screamed in agony due to the intense pain in his chest, suddenly, white and purple scales grew over his hands, neck, and a bit of his face. His eyes turned snake-like, and even his fangs grew long and sharp. He was transforming through the power of his Yokai Eater Skill.

"Hm?!"

The very moment that happened, Koga Saburo, who was constantly evading Matsuo's attacks while trying to kill him, noticed what just happened. His snake-like eyes widened, as he sensed a similar Cursed Aura as his own!

"He ate my Demonic Snakes? He ate... the curse?"

He noticed that Frank's skin gained countless cursed marks across his entire skin, as his aura suddenly changed, becoming pitch black, with purple-colored snakes flowing from it.

"Hah, unbelievable! Just as master said, this brat's true power will only come out when he's about to die, huh?"

Saburo smiled as he saw Frank snap.

"KOGA SABURO!" roared Frank, resisting the pain and madness this curse caused to him. He glared at his foe with eyes filled with hatred and desperation.

"YOU WILL... LET US GO!"

As Frank screamed, his right hand started transforming, mutating into a long, white and purple scaled snake with two heads, and sharp jaws with long fangs leaking acidic venom that melted the ground.

"Or else...!"

"SHYAAAHH!"

Without hesitation, he attacked Koga Saburo, shocking Matsuo and Harumi who were hanging on however they could! He quickly realized his snake-arm could extend as much as he wished too.

"Hmph, don't think you can imitate my Curses, you faker!"

Koga Saburo roared, rushing towards Frank while leaving a clone made out of his poison fighting Matsuo, which exploded into poisonous smoke once hit.

POOF!

"Cough, cough...! Ugh, that damn bastard's a ninja too!" Matsuo realized. "Is it because he belongs to the Koga-ryu School?! Hah, Whatever power Frank is using, it enraged him to no end!

The Koga-ryu, the origin of Ninjutsu across Japan, a school that specialized in the growth and creation of Ninjas.

If Koga Saburo wielded that name, there was a speculation that he was also a ninja! However, now that Matsuo fought against an incarnation of his Demonic Side, he was finally learning the truth.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

His arms turned into snakes, biting through Frank's longer snake-arm, injecting deadly venom and tearing through his flesh.

"RAAAHH!"

However Frank roared back as his snake arm used its double jaws to tear apart Saburo's snake arms, opening the way for him to reach him.

Wielding his magic spear with his other hand, Frank combined the power of darkness and curses with his gray magic, creating a pitch-black magical spear.

"{Cursed Spear}!"

FLASH!

The spear rushed towards Koga, who quickly swung his giant claws against the spear, only for it to explode and damage his flesh, blowing up several of his fingers.

"Tch!"

However, he quickly regenerated them anew as more and more snakes surged from every wound, turning into new body parts.

"Don't you see?! This curse might be horrible, but it gives me the power to regenerate from all wounds!" laughed Koga Saburo. "A faker like you can't really do anything against me! Fall into despair!"

"Never!" Frank screamed, as his snake-arm suddenly wrapped around Koga Saburo for a second, before the Demonic man were to slice his arm into pieces, he conjured a sphere of

flames.

"Fire?!" Koga muttered. "He couldn't use that before- Ah!"

He quickly realized a little wyvern within his clothes, releasing her aura of flames and combining it together into a massive fireball.

And once more, a new spell was created.

"{Draconic Fireball}!"

The fireball was launched towards Koga Saburo, almost the size of a car! Frank sacrificed his own arm as he kept him in place, the fireball reaching him and then exploding with the roar of

a wyvern.

BOOOMMM!!!

"Ugh...!"

Frank fell to his knees, as he saw his arm being torn apart, bleeding constantly.

"A-Ahh...! Hahh... Hahhh..."

He was still processing this, but he had just lost an arm.

How was he even going to explain this to his family?

To his mother or his sister? To his stepfather?!

"M-My arm...! Ugh!"

However, he also knew this was a necessary sacrifice, to eliminate...

"Bastard..."

"No...!"

Frank looked at the silhouette emerging from the smoke, the flames had burned his body a lot, he looked calcinated. His face had been burned, showing his skull beneath his scaled skin.

However, even as he had taken such damage, he started creating snakes from his flesh and body, these snakes taking upon the flames he had been damaged, blazing cursed snakes. "You think that would have stopped me?! I am a Demon! Fire simply cannot kill me, you utter

fool!"

"SHYAAAH!"

Dozens of cursed, blazing snakes reached Frank, as they started biting his body, legs, shoulders, neck, and his last arm, the pain was tremendous.

And the burning, blazing venom injected into his body was burning him from the inside out!

"Uuuaarrgghh!"

In that moment of pain and horror, he truly thought he would die. Despair ended filling his heart as he felt like he was being pulled away from his suffering.

His mind started being absorbed darkness, and the more he saw this cold darkness, the more

panicked and horrified he felt.

"No...! Wait...!"

Images started flashing through his mind, images of him having landed in a world named

Grand Terra.

"E-Eh?"

Images of him meeting various people, of fighting against a certain someone.

"Why these... images? What do they mean?!"

Images of them talking and fighting together to defeat powerful enemies.

"Who is she?"

Images of them sharing their past, and speaking from their very hearts, opening up to one

another.

"She's..."

Images of their love, of the nights they shared together, of her warm embrace.

"Ah..."

Images of her motherly smile, that filled him with so much warmth.

"Kireina?"
