58 Soul Amputation
Feeling the Ominous pressure from the Lamp of the Damned, the bearded man knew that the Damned Soul had reached its highest peak and the curse formed was at its strongest. without delaying anymore he aimed the curse at Sukehime and launched it at her.
A bright yellow Flame covered in black smoke shot out of the lamp and accelerated towards Sukehime at high speed, leaving a dense smoke in its trail. This smoke was not ordinary smoke as it did not dissipate with the wind but instead a wailing sound came out of the smoke whenever it came in contact with wind.
Seeing the curse nearing her Sukehime did not try to avoid it instead she faced it head on. Seeing this Bearded old man and the rest of the 33 attackers were shocked. But what happened next shocked them evenmore.
Sukehime simple stood on the spot and willingly let the curse enter her soul space. The Bearded old man and the rest of the attackers thought that Sukehime had prepared some countermeasures against the Curse that's why she dared to face the curse head on, but never in their would they have guessed that Sukehime would accept the curse like a sacrificial goat readily putting its heads under the knife.
What they did not know was that this was also part of Sukehimes plan, to be exact one of the most important parts in her plan to slay the world's will.
When the yellow flame covered in smoke entered Sukehime's Soul Space it found Sukehime's soul in no time and directly attached to it. As soon as the transparent soul was attached by the curse it got completely covered in black smoke and was no longer transparent.
After the Curse completely attached to the transparent soul of Sukehime another small transparent soul appeared from the depth of the soul space and it looked at the regular sized soul covered in black smoke intently.
Yui, Hakuun, Bearded old man and the rest of the attackers looked at Sukehime dumbfoundedly, it had been nearly 30 seconds since the Curse entered Sukehime but there was still no sign of the effect of Curse on Sukehime. Sukehime stood there as if nothing happened and even yawned.
Seeing this the masters of the 13 allied families finally lost it and shouted fantrically, " you Devil incarnate!! How are you still alive ?, that curse was enough to kill a god but why are you still alive and kicking. Why?!!!!!"
"How is this even possible? How can this even happen? That Curse and its ominous pressure were clearly out of this world, the power behind it was enough to eradicate half of the world's population. Why are you still unaffected?"
" Monster !! Monster!!!...."
" over! Everything is over!! I don't want to die!!!!"
" Sukehime Sama please forgive me !! Sukehime Same please give another chance I will be your dog and l never go South if you ask me to go north. Please...."
"..."
Looking at the actions of their fellow weak hearted colleagues, the rest of the masters sighed in regrets for having pig teammates. Because in fright these people forgot about the formation and walked out of it to beg for Sukehime's forgiveness, Breaking the 4 star Elephant array.
The golden Cylinder covering the black flame dome dissipated as the formation was broken. Since they were not a match for for Sukehime without the 4 elephant star array the remaining Attackers also joined their pig teammates to beg for Sukehime's forgiveness and as for the option of escaping it never occurred in the attackers mind because if they escaped without killing Sukehime then the 13 allied families will kill them and their families. But by begging Sukehime's forgiveness they will get Sukehime's backing so the families will think twice before hurting their families, but this was a near impossible possibility.
Unlike the rest of the Attackers Yui, Hakuun and the Bearded old man did not beg for mercy because they knew that there was no word for mercy in Sukehimes dictionary. Since it is no use struggling and begging, this trio decided to die with dignity and were waiting peacefully for their deaths.
Even Though from outside it looked like Sukehime was calmly looking at her attacker begging her for her mercy, in actuality Sukehime was busy dealing with the Damned Soul attached to her other half of the soul and planning the next step of her plan. she didn't even know what was going on outside.

Soul amputation
A high level Soul mystery skill which allows the user to cut off a part of the user soul. This process is very painful and Sometimes the original soul is strained more than it can bear leading to the premature death of the user, even in case the user is not dead,there are chances for the primary soul being damaged forever.
The Amputated part of the soul will be exactly like a clone of the original soul and contain the same aura of the primary soul with the exact same memories.
The most disadvantage of this process is that sometimes the Amputated part of the soul starts to believe that it is the original soul and revolts by trying forcibly taking over the body or by killing the primary soul.
Since this skill has many serious drawbacks that over shadow's its usefulness, this Skill is designated as forbidden Skill and is no longer in practice.
............
Soul Amputation was the Skill which Sukehime used to escape the Curse of the Damned Soul.
People who practice Soul amputation only amputated very small part of their Soul, about 3% to 5%, Inorder it decrease the strain on the Primary Soul and to keep the new amputated soul from growing stronger than the primary soul, which could lead to the user losing the control over his body to his oven amputated Soul.
But Sukehime being Sukehime, She Amputated about 60% of her soul leaving only 40 % to her primary soul. Which leads to the amputated soul kicking the primary soul of Sukehime into the depth of the soul space while it assumes control over Sukehime's body.
But unfortunately the moment the secondary Soul gained control of Sukehime's body, a Strong Curse was attached to it. While it was completely focused on desperately getting rid of the Curse attached to it, The primary soul walked out from the depth of the Sukihime's soul space.
Taking advantage of the Secondary soul fighting the Curse, the Primary Soul began to refine the Secondary Soul and the Curse together to form a Powerful Curse inscription.
Since Skehime was busy with refining the Curse Inscription she did not care or bother to know what was happening outside, because she had very little time to execute her plan before the world's will realizes that Sukehime's main soul is not one that got cursed but it was Sukehime's secondary Soul which actually got Cursed and right now Sukehime is up to something nasty.
Outside the Attacker's and the trio did not know and still continued to kneel and a beg but suddenly they all were startled a a huge thunder and lightning, in crying heavens Thunder and lightning is common but this time it was different as it almost felt like the sky is going to fall upon them.
