Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Fierce Battle and Result
Anyone who sees Saionji Gyokuon fighting Ryomen Sukuna in close combat at this moment will not believe that she has never practiced swordsmanship.
But the fact is that the first time she touched the hilt of a sword was shortly after she joined Scepter4.
Under the leadership of the previous Blue King, Harihara Shun, Scepter4 established a large fencing team to maintain law and order against Kaguto Genji's clan, the Rengokusha. Upon becoming Blue King, Munakata Reiji did not alter this system, but instead reorganized the fencing team to prepare for future changes. Naturally, Tamane, a recent Scepter4 member, was no exception and was required to wield a sword.
Then, the first time she used a sword, she defeated everyone in the fencing team at that time. Even Awashima Seri lost to her by one move. The only person she was slightly inferior to was the head of the department, Reiji Munakata.
Later, when Zenjo Goki was invited out by Reisi Munakata, he witnessed Saionji Gyoon using the sword and praised her as a natural swordsman.
Without anyone telling her, Yuyin could feel it herself. When she held the hilt of the sword, a strange sense of familiarity came over her heart, as if in the distant past, she had fought bloody battles with only one sword for many years.
But even with such talent, she still gave up the sword.
Because along with this inexplicable sense of familiarity came endless fatigue, a fatigue that penetrated deep into her bones and soul, which made her, who was still young at the time, choose to give up.
To this end, she went to her then-superior, Mr. Munakata, and requested permission to continue using the bow and arrow as a weapon, rather than a sword. While Munakata felt it would be a shame to abandon her exceptional swordsmanship, he considered the fencing team's abundance of skilled swordsmen, and the fact that Saionji was a professional archer with exceptional skill, suggesting the team would benefit from having her as a long-range support. Ultimately, he respected her choice and agreed to this unusual request.
Later, during the years that Saionji Gyoen was in Scepter4, the sword on her body was only unsheathed during the sword-drawing ceremony for all members, and at other times it was just like an ordinary waist pendant.
The only exception was when Kusunohara Tsuyoshi blocked a bullet for the director. Although Kusunohara Tsuyoshi discovered the bullet earlier, it was Saionji Tamon who arrived first and drew her sword to split the enemy bullet in half.
As she continued to experience the other three worlds, Yuyin became more and more skilled and accustomed to the use of the bow and arrow. Subjectively, she had no intention of changing her job from an archer to a melee swordsman. After all, as a novelist, she knew very well that Saber had always been the protagonist profession in the isekai novels, and she, a corporate girl who aspired to be a lazy person, had no reason to challenge it.
However, Yuyin later touched the sword by chance, and unexpectedly discovered that the more worlds she experienced, the stronger her swordsmanship seemed to be.
On the night when she last used the sword in the monster world, Yuyin had a dream. In the dream, she was trapped in a dark place, swinging her sword over and over again, fighting against thousands of monsters with endless fighting spirit.
Then she woke up.
And from that dream until this battle with Ryomen Sukuna, she never touched the sword again, not even once.
*
With a loud bang, the tremendous curse power and spiritual power collided with each other, and the aftermath alone caused the already dilapidated interior of the dormitory to become even more dilapidated, with broken stones and gravel flying everywhere.
Megumi Fushiguro, who was watching from the side, raised his hand to block the dust. In order not to hinder his senior's battle and be affected, he had stood much further away. Even if there was no dust in the sky, the movements of the two fighters were so fast that he could hardly catch them.
After the attack, Saionji Gyokuon and Ryomen Sukuna separated again and stood on both sides.
"Tsk, I didn't expect this woman's technique to be so difficult."
It was rare for Ryoumen Sukuna to complain like this in his heart.
He was born a thousand years ago during the heyday of sorcery, an era when demons were rampant. He had seen countless powerful cursed spirits, sorcerers, and curse masters, among whom there was no shortage of novel techniques. Purifying and eliminating vengeful spirits seemed to be just basic functions for sorcerers. Ryoumen Sukuna looked away at first, thinking that Saionji Gyomon's ability was just an enhanced version of this function. However, after a fight, he found that this was not the case.
Ryoumen Sukuna looked at the wound on his shoulder. That was the only attack in the battle that he didn't have time to block with his cursed power, allowing the opponent's ice sword to grazed his shoulder.
Normally, wounds like this would heal on their own without him having to use any special magical powers to stimulate them.
But now a lot of time has passed, and the spiritual power attached to the wound still remains, constantly offsetting his curse power, and the wound shows no signs of recovery.
Her ability is to cause direct damage to the soul!
You should know that a curse can be called a curse spirit, which is an existence with a soul.
Everything has a spirit, even stones and plants are no exception.
This means that everything can be harmed by her abilities.
It seemed that the sword she used was hurting Yuji Itadori's body, but in fact it was hurting Ryomen Sukuna's own soul.
Although he couldn't immediately heal the damage to his soul on his shoulder with cursed energy, he could still recover slowly after recuperating for a while. However, if she had truly mortally injured him, Yuji Itadori might not have survived, but the soul clone of Ryomen Sukuna that was parasitic within Yuji Itadori would surely die!
After realizing this, Ryomen Sukuna began to tremble.
His whole body was shaking.
"What's wrong with him?" Megumi Fushiguro, who was watching the game, noticed this and was very surprised.
"Hahahahaha, let me fall in love with you!" He was shaking with excitement and tore off his shirt. "That's exactly what I want! Compared to you, the sorcerers who besieged me back then were nothing but good-for-nothings. Come on, let's have a good fight!"
Whether it was Saionji Gyoen who was on high alert, or Fushiguro Megumi who was watching from the sidelines, they all felt speechless at this moment.
Especially Yuyin, if it wasn't the wrong occasion, she would just want to yell.
If you want to fight, just fight. Why tear my clothes for no reason?
Are you being a hooligan?
Please remember that your opponent is a lady. Thank you!
Or is this a plot by Ryomen Sukuna?
As expected of the King of Curses, it’s indeed profound!
Yuon originally felt that Ryoumen Sukuna's voice was somewhat similar to Atobe Keigo's, and she was a little uncomfortable fighting with him. But now, after hearing the other party's neurotic speech, she can finally completely distinguish the two and is no longer confused.
"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
Yuyin held her face in a stern manner, talking trash as usual, not even bothering to consider whether Gojo-senpai had any other plans. After all, even though he knew she was still alive, Gojo-senpai, who was well aware of her abilities, hadn't asked her to use her abilities to eliminate the part of Ryomen Sukuna's soul that was parasitic in Yuji Itadori's body.
Perhaps the senior considered that once the Ryoumen Sukuna in Yuji Itadori was eliminated, the upper echelons of the Jujutsu world would become suspicious and launch an investigation, thus exposing the secret that she was still alive. Or perhaps the senior had a special reason, and even if he discovered that she was still alive, he would still stick to the original plan.
But at this moment, Yuyin did have the idea of completely destroying Ryoumen Sukuna in Yuji Itadori's body. Perhaps from the moment she saw Yuji Itadori's heart being casually taken out by Ryoumen Sukuna, she had already made up her mind to do so, even if this would expose her existence to the top leaders of the curse world and cause her to be killed again.
Because a good child like Yuji Itadori should not suffer such pain and torture. She has been fighting with her bow until now just to protect those ordinary happiness.
The two clashed once more. Ryoumen Sukuna's greatest advantage was his immense cursed energy. Even though he only possessed the strength of three fingers, his power was far greater in both intensity and duration than Saionji Gyokuon. Despite her formidable swordsmanship, Saionji Gyokuon could not avoid all damage in a clash. In such a fierce battle, she was unable to devote her attention to using her spiritual energy or reversal techniques to heal herself.
The outcome of the battle is still unknown.
However, as the battle continued, Ryomen Sukuna became more and more frantic. From the perspective of the observing Megumi Fushiguro, it seemed that the flesh-and-blood senior Saionji was in some danger.
"Saionji-senpai!"
What should he do, what should he do... Megumi Fushiguro was conflicted. If Senior Saionji was defeated, he would be the only one left who could fight.
If the situation comes to this extreme, he can only use that one move!
Thinking of this, Fushiguro Megumi's eyes became firm again. She stared at the battlefield closely, not missing a single moment, and was ready to use that move at any time to take over the battlefield and save Senior Saionji.
"Hahaha! That's it—ugh!"
However, when Ryoumen Sukuna was enjoying the pleasure of fighting wantonly, a familiar feeling emerged and he couldn't help but pause.
"Damn it, it just happened at this time, that kid..."
The next moment, the black circular lines on Ryoumen Sukuna's body gradually disappeared. He raised his head and smiled at Saionji Yuon, who was fighting with him: "Saionji-senpai... you're okay... I'm so glad..."
Then it fell straight down from mid-air.
"Tiger Stick!"
Megumi Fushiguro screamed in horror, knowing that if Itadori, whose heart had been taken out, was returned, he would die immediately. He immediately instructed the Jade Dog to jump and catch the falling Itadori.
Looking at the Shikigami that jumped back in front of her, Yuji Itadori on its back looked peaceful and still had a smile on his face. Megumi Fushiguro had no idea what expression to make.
"Make way!"
Then he was pushed away by Saionji Gyoon who hurried over.
Yuyin pushed away Fushiguro Megumi who was blocking her way, took out a talisman that she had prepared long ago, and stuck it on Yuji Itadori's forehead, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I made it."
Fushiguro Megumi was a bit confused because it was the first time he witnessed the death of his companion. He was stunned for a while before he successfully restarted. He was a bit frustrated but couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope. He asked Gyoen: "Saionji-senpai, what happened to you..."
Could it be that since Itadori is the incarnation of Ryomen Sukuna, he can't even leave his body behind and needs to be sealed?
He couldn't help but think divergently.
"Hui Jun, I'm going to ask you to run with me next."
Yuyin glanced at the messy scene after the battle. After the death of the special-grade cursed spirit, the domain of its birth disappeared, and high-tech products could naturally be used without hindrance.
She waved her phone at Fushiguro Megumi and said, "I need to take Hisahito-kun to the hospital. We need to be secretive on the way, so I'll have to trouble your big dog to act as a stretcher the whole time."
"Is Yuji still alive?"
Fushiguro Megumi's eyes lit up.
"Yeah," Yuyin nodded, explaining while tapping on her phone, "That's... oh, a stillness spell or a freezing spell, whatever you want to call it. It keeps his body in its current state. It can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. As long as it's within that quarter of an hour..."
Fushiguro Megumi immediately realized: "Should we send Itadori to Miss Ieiri for medical treatment?"
"I really want to trouble only Nozomi-san," Yuyin sighed. "The effectiveness of using reversal techniques to heal others is determined by the injured person's constitution and the amount of cursed energy output during the treatment. When I met you, she wasn't very comfortable with injuries like Hisahito-kun's... I don't know how she's doing now. Besides, whether Hisahito-kun's constitution can withstand it is also a question. We only have two quarters of an hour, and after removing the talisman, we only have one chance."
Fushiguro Megumi understood and murmured, "So we can't afford to gamble..."
If he fails, it means that Yuji will die.
"So, Senior, you want to?"
"Hmm," Yuyin scratched her head and said, "I can only go find another terrifying angel in white. Although I don't know him very well, I happen to know someone who always makes people owe him favors. If I ask him for help, he should be willing to help."
On her phone screen, the number representing Ango Sakaguchi was being dialed.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I hope you don’t think that I arranged for the heroine to steal Hui’s highlight scene, and the old man’s famous saying “Let me fall in love with you!”. I think this sentence will appear when the old man finds out that the heroine’s ability can really kill him_(:з」∠)_
(It seems that neither Yuyin nor Hui would want to hear such a "confession"_(:з」∠)_)
Regarding the question of Nozomi's healing ability, after studying the plot, I personally feel that her cursed power is lower than Otsutsuki's, so she probably can't do the same treatment that Otsutsuki later did to Toranosuke. However, if I'm refuted by the original novel, I'll just lie down_(:з」∠)_
