Chapter 116 - Plethora of Cursed Techniques

Haruki lied on the bed in the tent, examining his personal information panel.

[Personal Information]

[Name: Haruki Shiratori]

[Identity: Yuta Okkotsu / Cursed Spirit Mother]

[Age: 9 (23)]

Upon seeing his age, Haruki immediately asked, 'When did I get another year older?'

[Host, you are a human, and humans grow up.]

Haruki clicked his tongue.

Time truly flies. A year had passed inexplicably. Fortunately, the gains this year were quite substantial.

Four max-level Cursed Spirits were the biggest harvest.

Keep in mind, the strength of a max-level Cursed Spirit surpasses a Jonin, and Cursed Spirits like Rika, Ame, and Sukuna, who were born from extreme emotions, are even stronger than ordinary max-level Cursed Spirits.

Haruki sighed contentedly and continued to read.

[Gender: Male]

[Companion Cursed Spirit: Rika ]

Previously, Haruki had been on the battlefield and had no time to study his newly activated Cursed Techniques. Looking at it now, quite a few good things had been activated.

He flipped through the system's Cursed Technique introductions.

He usually had the system narrate them, but since he had already opened his personal information today, he might as well read them himself.

He had an impression of Uro Takako's Cursed Technique, Sky Manipulation because he quite liked this Cursed Technique.

This Cursed Technique is essentially the manipulation of space, specifically manifesting as the creation, elimination, and movement of spatial boundaries.

With this Cursed Technique, Haruki can "cut out" a section of space, making it independent of its surroundings, like creating a floating island or platform. And this space, cut by the Cursed Technique, can freely move and change shape according to his will.

Of course, since this Cursed Technique made Haruki so envious, it couldn't have just one ability.

This Cursed Technique could also eliminate space, connecting two previously separated points, creating an effect of instantaneous movement.

Haruki could connect separated points near himself, or separated points near his enemies.

By freely moving the spatial blocks cut or connected by the Cursed Technique, he can move objects or people located within that space.

For example, during combat, he can cut out the space where an enemy is located and throw that space, along with the enemy inside it, into the air or smash it to the ground.

Haruki disliked the character Haruta, even to the point of detesting him but he really liked his Cursed Technique.

His Cursed Technique, named Miracle, had its core principle in storage. By storing one-time, non-repeatable miracles, and then releasing or attaching them to his attacks later.

This miracle actually refers to powerful Cursed Techniques or effects that others had used in front of Haruki.

With this Cursed Technique, Haruki can store Cursed Techniques or effects that others released in front of him, which is to say, store miracles.

During battle, he can release the stored miracles and attach them to his weapons for attack.

For example, he can store Hanzo's poison mist attack, and when he fights an enemy, he can release Hanzo's poison mist attack effect when swinging his sword.

Haruki was extremely satisfied with this Cursed Technique, successfully comforting his displeasure at not being able to activate Toge's Cursed Technique, Cursed Speech.

Next was Noritoshi's Cursed Technique — Blood Manipulation. This Cursed Technique was the easiest to understand, its principle was to precisely manipulate one's own blood through Cursed Energy.

Haruki didn't even need to look at the system's introduction, he knew the settings of this Cursed Technique himself.

With Blood Manipulation, one can freely control the shape, hardness, speed, trajectory, etc, of one's own blood after it leaves the body. The said blood can be used as weapons, shields, and other tools, its practicality is very great.

Of course, this Cursed Technique also has very obvious limitations. After all, the effects of this Cursed Technique depends on blood, and if Haruki uses it too much, it might cause him to die from excessive blood loss.

Haruki decided that starting tomorrow, he would replenish his blood. The more blood in his body, the better.

How great it would be if he could control others' blood. That way, there would be no worries about excessive blood loss at all.

Haruki continued to read, Megumi's Cursed Technique, Ten Shadows Technique. He was also very familiar with this. After all, it was the Zenin clan's inherited Cursed Technique.

The user of the Ten Shadows Technique possesses a different-dimensional shadow vault, in which ten different Shikigami are sealed.

The user can summon Shikigami or submerge themselves into shadows for movement or defense by using specific hand signs as a medium and consuming Cursed Energy.

Leaving aside the attack effects of this Cursed Technique, Haruki was very satisfied with just the shadow vault alone.

After gaining Construction, he needed a personal space. Even if sealing scrolls were convenient, they were not as convenient as a personal dimension.
