So he successfully killed the people that were turned into a Curse Monster with Dispel Ultimate but he didn't try the same strategy against the other Curse Monsters? :unsure:
It's a bit different. Dispel Ultimate just went through the huge curse producing the calamity dragon, as if it wasn't even recognised to be a curse. Whereas with The curse spell they used on themselves to kill Yuuji wasn't of the same caliber (I assume they created it, whereas the calamity dragon curse they reproduced from books) and Dispel Ultimate did interact with it (make it go white, eradicate individual lab members in curse form). It's possible that spamming Dispel Ultimate could have done something, but it's also possible that he would have just been wasting his mana. Even before, with smaller versions of the curse poison cloud, dispel ultimate made some changes to the curse, but didn't ultimately get rid of it.

In any case, he assumed that the curse gets entirely consumed to generate the calamity dragon and it appears that he is correct, so he'll basically be trading dealing with the curse producing the calamity dragon with dealing with the calamity dragon directly. I don't think that'll be easier but hey, just as he's got plot armour, the dragons have plot armour until they appear.

I don't believe he used Magic Analysis on the calamity dragon producing curse though. It seems like that should have been done to try and figure out if Dispel Ultimate was doing anything or if there was another weakness.

? He explained it pretty clearly. Even if he kills them, they just reform exactly as is, and he is just wasting mana, because it doesn't deplete the curse energy at all doing it that way; it just resets and continues anew.
He could just cast fireball through his highest level fire slime and infinitely stall the curse at the small critter stage. It has been stated and is generally obvious that with his mana pool that could be done indefinitely.

Meanwhile he could check that dragon book, try some long term moderate non-mana taxing spamming of dispels through his best dispel boosters or anything else to prepare for and/or avoid the curse reaching full strength really. Just going straight to "fuck it, I guess I'll fight a true dragon" is idiotic.

He's suffered problems from going too far into the negatives before, including unconsciousness. It has been a long time since then IRL as we've waited for new chapters, but it wasn't that long ago in-universe.

I wasn't talking about anything that'd go into the negatives. Yuuji has passive mana regen and fireballs consume next to nothing. Like I said, he's even stated himself that he could do that indefinitely. Plus the curse is pretty slow to start up and get to a stage where a fully boosted fireball wouldn't work, so he could cast it even more leisurely than in the previous scenario where he could do it forever anyway.

Dispel Ultimates aren't too costly either, so even that could work indefinitely if used cautiosly enough.

Hellfire of Demises cannot be done indefinitely, though, and Fireballs aren't enough to stop it unless it's in the much earlier phase, and he needs to spend this time recovering so he can take it out all at once. If you didn't notice, it accelerates every cycle it gets rebooted, going very quickly to begin with but has become even faster at regenerating, too.

Negatives are important to consider because of how many Hellfires of Demises and other forbidden-tier spells he can cast of that level before his mana goes into the negatives, and then how many from that before he goes further. He's treating it as a True Dragon fight, not just paltry curse removal. The slimes reading up on the hidden room is to check for any useful secondary information, not to find some key to defeating it for good or anything; he just needs apply more cowbell, and for that, he needs to conserve and replenish mana.

Hey guys, the Lab is near to the end. Every member have been caught in the curse poison and the higher up are gone. The only remain is Madera who haven't merged with others.

It's getting really boring to see the MC doing the exact same mistake over and over again, while expecting a different outcome. The literal definition of insanity.
