Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Field Expansion
The earth is cracking and surging.
From the cracks that kept opening in the ground, scorching flames gushed out, leaping out like a giant dragon.
The scene was like the end of the world.
At first, Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki were able to dodge and avoid the fire dragon that appeared out of nowhere. However, the destructive power of that unknown force was too great and lasted for a long time. Yuji Itadori was okay, relying on his excellent physical strength and extraordinary speed to avoid all damage, but Nobara Kugisaki's situation was much worse. If this continued, she would sooner or later be burned by the flames due to exhaustion.
"Kugizaki!"
Yuji Itadori shouted, and the jade dog that was originally avoiding the fire dragon in front immediately turned around and pounced on Norose.
"I understand." Wild Rose immediately turned over and cooperated seamlessly.
With the jade dog as a mount, she no longer had to dodge herself, which immediately saved her energy.
"There's definitely something wrong here, but I wonder where the cursed spirit that created this scene is?"
Yuji Itadori moved quickly, still having the energy to speak. Although Nobara had known since their first exorcism that Itadori was a monster that could punch through walls with his bare hands, during this period of time as a companion in exorcising cursed spirits together, Itadori was constantly refreshing her understanding of the limits of monsters.
"Hey, Yuquan, can you find that cursed spirit?" Yuji asked Yuquan.
Wild Rose: "Hey, hey, if we go there now, we'll just die. Considering the external energy leaked by this cursed spirit..." She still agreed to report the abnormality quickly and let a sorcerer of the corresponding level deal with the matter.
However, the Shikigami received the command, let out a roar, turned around, and ran away carrying her on its back, so that she could not finish her words before she disappeared in the accelerating wind.
Although Yuji didn't know whether the jade dog was running away or leading them to see the culprit, he just used his two legs to chase it closely without falling behind.
"This isn't good," Wild Rose took a moment to glance down at the communication equipment. "No signal, it's being jammed!" She glanced around. "This force is still spreading. It's bound to reach inhabited areas sooner or later!"
Novice sorcerer Yuji Itadori said: "Can't you think of a way? Like, set up a tent..."
Wild Rose shouted, "This area is too large! We need to prepare early before setting up camp!" Who could have thought that an ordinary exploration mission, where no one had even confirmed the existence of a cursed spirit, would suddenly turn into something so dangerous?
Soon after she finished speaking, a black curtain gradually spread out from the sky in all directions, covering up the red color that was becoming increasingly bright in the night.
"Yes! Is it Fushiguro? Or are there other sorcerers coming?"
*
The pitch-black tent fell completely, not only covering up the strange phenomenon on the vast land, but also preventing the opponent's magic power from escaping from the inside and causing damage.
To achieve this effect, it was originally necessary to establish restrictions, but in this way, the actions of the person casting the [Tent] would be severely hindered. It is obviously unwise to do so in the face of a strong enemy. The [Tent] that is being cast now is the one that Yuyin has improved after experiencing the monster world using the spiritual power and the spells of that world. It does not need restrictions, but how much power it can block from the enemy depends on the caster himself.
After completing the spell, Saionji Gyoon turned around and faced the culprit behind all this - Kaguto Genji.
When Yuyin joined the Blue Clan, the former Red King had long since died due to the loss of his sword. She had never seen him in person, but she had seen his information in the Scepter 4 database. So now, she could still vaguely see the appearance of the Red King from the humanoid creature shrouded in flames.
But he can no longer be called a human being. Considering that this cursed spirit has the appearance of Kagudu Xuanshi and was born in the Kagudu crater, Yuyin speculated that he might be a new cursed spirit born from the mixture of various negative emotions such as the obsession of the former Red King at his death, the resentment of 700,000 dead people, and the fear of all other survivors.
Yuyin was very sure that before today, this cursed spirit had not been officially generated. Otherwise, with the level of this cursed spirit, the staff of the Matsudaira family who were close to this place would not only be injured, but would also die - this was a newly born special-grade cursed spirit, and today, for some unknown reason, it was stimulated and suddenly generated.
Yuyin, bow and arrow in hand, took a few tentative steps toward the cursed spirit. The crimson flames reached her, and like the Red Sea before Moses, they obediently parted into two clusters, avoiding her. Only careful observation revealed that the flames weren't avoiding her on their own, but were instead forced to separate by the power radiating from Yuyin's body.
The protective power surrounding her included spiritual power and spell power, and a blue light flashed on the surface. Maintaining such a large protective [tent] consumed a lot of energy for Yuyin. She could no longer hide her strength as leisurely as usual and could only respond with all her strength.
Her action immediately attracted the attention of the special-level spirit. The newborn cursed spirit looked towards her and murmured, "Blue... Yu Zhang, Xun..."
His voice was extremely awkward, but it was the first time Yuyin had seen a curse spirit that could speak with intelligence and judgment, and she immediately became extremely alert.
"Yu Zhangxun!" Hearing this familiar name, the Curse Spirit's heart suddenly surged with even more anger, and he roared, "Blue King Yu Zhangxun, come and fight!"
The flames around him suddenly swelled with his emotions, rushing towards Yuyin violently. Yuyin easily dodged with a leap, but the flames were relentless. After dodging again and again, she paused, drew her bow and arrow, raised an eyebrow and said, "Sorry, you got the wrong person."
Before he finished speaking, the arrow was shot.
The cursed spirit, who was still unable to speak clearly, howled miserably and covered his missing left arm with his hand.
"Tsk, it's off track."
Yuyin sighed inwardly. She had aimed her arrow at the Curse Spirit's vital points. While a Curse Spirit's anatomy was completely different from that of a human, a shot to the heart or head wouldn't necessarily kill it, but the damage would still be far more severe than a non-vital spot. She had aimed for the heart, but at the moment of the arrow's impact, the Curse Spirit had shifted slightly, allowing the arrow to pierce only his left arm.
"What a terrifying fighting instinct..."
The recovery ability of the special-grade curse spirit was far beyond ordinary people. In just a moment, the broken arm grew back from the wound. The second and third arrows shot by Yuyin were either completely dodged by the curse spirit who reacted quickly, or the arrows themselves were blocked or even destroyed in advance by the flames that enhanced their power.
Yuyin could no longer shoot arrows leisurely. The curse spirit reacted and roared, throwing countless fireballs in her direction. Although it seemed rough, the attack was actually very precise when it landed. Yuyin could only dodge and look for opportunities. Except for the fact that she was not close to the opponent for the time being, the two of them fought each other from a distance for several rounds.
After figuring out the strength of the opponent's attack during the battle, Yuyin was preparing to resist with a defense that enhanced power output to gain the best attack angle and timing for herself, when she suddenly heard the boy's anxious cry.
"careful!"
At the same time, the boy with strange pink thorny hair who had given the warning had already stood in front of her. Yuyin could only loosen the tail feathers that were originally against the bowstring to avoid accidental injury.
The pink-haired boy split the incoming fireball with a single blow before turning back and asking, "Are you okay?"
Only then did he see Yuyin's face clearly. Just now, he saw someone in danger and rushed to help without thinking. Now that he saw that the person in question was a girl of the same age as him, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Girl?"
He was a little confused, but then asked Wild Rose, who had just arrived on the Jade Dog, quite naturally, "Kugizaki, is this exploration mission supposed to introduce us to new classmates? Or are they seniors or juniors I don't know?"
"You ask me, how would I know?" Wild Rose really wanted to complain. She came to Tokyo later than Itadori Yuji. Then her eyes fell on Yuyin and she couldn't help but let out a voice of envy, "Wow, it's actually L's new product of the season!"
No matter who this girl is, it is certain that she is very rich. You know, she has been coveting this store's luxury clothing for a long time, and she plans to go on a big shopping spree once she saves enough money during this period.
"careful."
Yuyin grabbed the pink-haired boy's collar and jumped lightly. A fireball several times larger than the previous one slammed heavily into the place where they had just stood. An explosion sounded, and a wind of fire swept through, and the broken gravel and sand suddenly exploded in all directions.
Wild Rose rode on the Jade Dog and dodged as fast as them. She used her arms to block the blinding light caused by the explosion. A strong airflow swept past her, and the impact force pushed her and the Shikigami back.
"With such terrifying power, why was there no sign before..."
Exorcism missions for sorcerers are assigned based on their level, ensuring their safety to the greatest extent possible. This is why the mission to find a cursed spirit, even when the existence of one cannot be confirmed, is assigned to the first-year students. However, it is clear that this sudden appearance of a cursed spirit is far beyond the level of their students' ability to deal with.
"It's a special-grade cursed spirit, hurry up and leave!"
Yuyin immediately uncovered the mystery. She hadn't expected the two students she'd noticed earlier to not seek help, but instead head straight for the center of the battle. The [Tent] she'd set up didn't restrict the entry and exit of sorcerers, so calling for help was the best solution in this situation, right? Are all high school students this brave these days?
Yuji Itadori immediately retorted: "No! We can't abandon you!"
Although they were initially worried that the person fighting here might be Megumi Fushiguro, the two of them risked their lives to come and check it out in person. But now that they saw that it was a girl of about the same age as them, their innate sense of justice made it impossible for Yuji Itadori to ignore her, and he escaped alone.
"I'm fine on my own, you guys go!"
Several people were communicating while dodging the attacks.
Yuyin was really afraid of them. Why did both of them look like she wanted to sacrifice herself to cover their retreat and refused to leave? She really just wanted to drive away the bystanders so that she could launch her ultimate move safely.
The attack movements of the cursed spirit, which had a close connection with Kagutsu Genshi, became more and more fluent, and its power became stronger and stronger. After a while, the temperature on the field suddenly increased a lot, reaching a level that ordinary people could not bear. Yuyin could only open the barrier again to protect herself and the two students who had strayed in from the invasion of flames.
"What should I do?" Wild Rose held a hammer and nail in her hand. She could have hit the incoming fireballs just now, but after Yuyin expanded the defensive barrier, she no longer had to do anything. Now she was looking at the cursed spirit at a distance and unable to attack, which made her a little anxious.
Yuji Itadori, who also no longer needed to chop the fireballs with his sword, touched his head. He was not as nervous as her: "Since Fushiguro is not here, he should have gone out to ask for help immediately. The report is wrong. Maybe Gojo-sensei will be here the next moment."
When Yuyin heard a certain surname, her pupils trembled: "!!!"
So these two brave kids are indeed that guy’s students, I knew it!
She couldn't hesitate any longer. If she continued to waste time, when Senior Gojo came, she wouldn't be able to keep her identity.
After shooting another arrow that hit the body of the special-grade cursed spirit but failing to completely destroy it, Yuyin made up her mind immediately when she heard someone was approaching.
It seems that this is the only trick I can use.
She immediately instructed the two boys and girls, "Come to me quickly."
*
Outside the boundary of the pitch-black [tent], Dechang Jingsi had a solemn expression. When he sensed the change in the atmosphere deep in the crater, he immediately ordered the driver to drive over here. At this moment, it was obviously not suitable to enter the front. He got out of the car and asked the driver to go back, intending to go in alone.
However, the sudden presence of someone made him pause. Deba Shizue turned around and saw the blindfolded man with whom he had previously reached an agreement, the self-proclaimed strongest sorcerer Gojo Satoru, who waved and greeted him with a broad smile: "Hey, Mr. Deba."
Deba Shizuka nodded and replied, "Mr. Gojo."
"What a coincidence, we meet here at this time," Gojo Satoru said, his hands in his pockets as he walked over to Deba Shizuka, tilting his head and smiling, "Could this be another commission that Mr. Deba has received?"
"Yes, but please forgive me for keeping the specific details confidential." Dechang Jingsi said calmly.
"What a shame," Gojo Satoru scratched his head. "Now it seems that this commission should actually fall within my scope."
What Gojo Satoru meant was that I could just go in here.
Deba Jingsi shook his head and said, "Someone from my sect is inside."
The implication: Sorry, I have to go in.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if there are more people~" Gojo Satoru took a leisurely step forward. Anyway, he already had three students here, so he was not afraid of one more interference factor.
Asked him why there were three? Just kidding, given Hui's personality, after informing him of the news, she would have immediately returned to save her classmates. This is the deep love between classmates~
However, he was still sighing in his heart when he turned his gaze to Gojo Satoru on the [tent] and his expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the tent, or more specifically, at the cursed energy flowing through it.
There's no mistake! This cursed energy is—
Gojo Satoru walked through the tent silently, and suddenly a familiar, huge and pure cursed energy erupted from the depths of the crater. The flames scattered on the surrounding ground shrank rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This means that the cursed spirit that created the flames may have been destroyed in the cursed power that just erupted, or the cursed spirit may have been absorbed into the expansion of a certain sorcerer's domain and forced to be isolated from the outside world.
Gojo Satoru instantly determined that it was the latter.
There is a sorcerer unfolding in this area!
He would not mistake that cursed power. If the cursed power on the [account] was mixed with a lot of other powers, real and fake, it might be someone else's disguise. Then the expansion of the field was a special ability based on the sorcerer's personal unique innate technique, which could not be disguised by others.
Teleporting instantly, Gojo Satoru floated in the air and looked towards the area before him—
The domain that belongs exclusively to his deceased schoolmate, Saionji Gyokuon, unfolds, [Rebirth in the Pure Sea].
