Chapter 73

Amamiya Keisei now really wants to punch Gojo Satoru's handsome face twice.

"Do you think it's appropriate to say this at this time?" Amamiya Reishi's mind was full of thoughts, and he looked at the person in front of him speechlessly, "Why don't you think of a way to leave the domain quickly, or exorcise that special cursed spirit?"

Gojo Satoru laughed twice and said, "Isn't this a lively atmosphere? You just want to beat me up now. You're not afraid anymore, are you?"

Amemiya Reizo: “…” He couldn’t say he wasn’t afraid. He was afraid that he would punch Gojo Satoru as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.

However, the agitated and uneasy mood that I had felt just now because the surroundings were so quiet has now calmed down a lot.

Gojo Satoru: "Well, I'll tell you."

Amemiya Reizo rolled his eyes implicitly, not wanting to respond to Gojo Satoru's words, and simply looked around. Although they might have been trapped in the realm, the scene around them did not seem to have changed much. There was only a faint smell of blood overflowing from a hidden place, and an atmosphere that was eerily quiet.

"This area is probably still slowly taking shape. Even the terrain here hasn't changed, which means the cursed spirit is still in the state of cursed fetus." Amamiya Leisei said, "Then we should find it quickly and exorcise it as soon as possible."

He looked up towards the top of the mountain and asked, "Wu Jun, are you going to lead the way or should I?"

The situation was urgent, and Gojo Satoru stopped joking. He took a quick look and said, "You come on, faster. If the cursed fetus is discovered soon, you should stay away and let me do it."

Amemiya shrugged his shoulders, unable to deny it, and just raised his hand and aimed at the dense bushes and trees in front of him.

This was the second time he had used a large-scale spell since coming to this world. He took a deep breath and contacted the system: [System, help me keep an eye on the power fluctuations and remind me at all times.]

System: [No problem, host, please rest assured!]

The next second, with a buzzing sound, the trees in front were cut off from the roots one after another. The huge trunks tilted to the side, pressing the low bushes underneath. In the blink of an eye, a path without obstacles was cleared.

Amamiya Leisheng swallowed the blood that surged up his throat and said vaguely, "Let's go."

Gojo Satoru said, "Take care of yourself," and took the lead to run up the fallen tree trunk.

Without having to shuttle through the bushes, they could climb the mountain much faster. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the top of the mountain, and the ugly cursed fetus was exposed to their eyes.

After sensing someone approaching, the cursed power in its body exploded, and the surrounding scene was instantly distorted. The felled trees disappeared in an instant, and countless huge tentacles with an estimated diameter of two or three meters rushed out from the ground and swung straight towards them.

“Wow—”

Gojo Satoru shouted and moved at the same time as Amamiya Keisuke, hitting the tentacles with [Censor] and [Cut] at the same time, smashing them to pieces. With a turn of his wrist, he sent the curse towards the cursed fetus in the center.

The cursed fetus was broken into a quarter, but it recovered quickly in the blink of an eye, squirming back to its original shape, and even became a little bigger, looking like it was close to hatching.

Gojo Satoru groaned in dissatisfaction: "No way, it can absorb the cursed energy in the attack to accelerate maturity? Wouldn't it be a continuous bombardment to death?"

Amemiya Reizo jumped onto a severed tentacle and looked at Gojo Satoru not far away. He really wanted to go up and help, but cutting a first-grade cursed spirit was almost at his limit. If he cut a special-grade cursed spirit, he would probably faint on the spot.

If he succeeds in making him unconscious, then so be it. But if he fails, Gojo Satoru will still have to take care of him and he will be helpless.

"Go-kun..." Amamiya Ruisheng spoke hesitantly.

Gojo Satoru waved his hands and said, "It's okay. I'll give it a try. Of course I have to say I can do it. I'm the best."

He moved his fingers, dodging the swinging tentacles while constantly moving closer to the cursed fetus. The thing seemed to have sensed the danger and was expanding rapidly, trying to transform into a full-fledged special cursed spirit.

[Operation sequence]

Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses at some point, revealing his six drab blue eyes. In this dim area, his eyes were particularly dazzling and shining, as if countless rays of light passed through his eyes and finally converged into one point.

[Cang]

“Buzz——!”

A huge gravitational force suddenly appeared, and the tentacles surrounding Gojo Satoru twisted into a ball and exploded. The cursed fetus at the center suddenly let out a shrill cry and was scattered on the spot by the curse. The pieces of flesh scattered in the air gathered together again in an instant, but unlike before, they did not return to their original size. Instead, they shrank rapidly and disappeared on the spot.

Success?

Amamiya Leisheng was alert and vigilant.

Just as he was about to approach Gojo Satoru, he heard a sound of breaking air. He instinctively jumped to the side, and a deep ditch nearly four meters wide appeared where he was standing.

"Go-kun!" Amemiya Leisei shouted.

"I can see it!" Gojo Satoru responded, "But how can you run around?"

He could see where the cursed energy passed, but his attacks always failed to hit the center because the cursed spirits were moving too fast, and the opponent could take the opportunity to recover.

"Its scope is still changing and will soon take shape."

Amamiya Leisheng glanced around hurriedly and could hardly recognize the original appearance of the mountain top. When his domain was fully formed, the guaranteed effect of that domain would become a big problem again.

Is it possible to split the domain?

He looked around him vaguely. The domain of this cursed spirit seemed to be very large, at least able to cover the area on the mountainside. However, the means of attack were quite simple. He wondered how strong the wall of this area was.

[Host, the power fluctuation is close to forty!] The system constantly reminds, [Although cutting through the domain of a special-grade curse spirit is not as good as directly cutting through a special-grade curse spirit, it is still much stronger than a first-grade curse spirit. Host, you will be hurt!]

[But if I continue like this, I will get hurt, right?] Amemiya frowned, [I'll try, I can control it, at worst I'll just have to carry it back to Ms. Glass this time.]

He glanced at Gojo Satoru who was chasing the invisible cursed spirit, and with a twitch of his mouth, he shouted, "Go-kun, do you have any more powerful spells?"

“Yes, there are, but the success rate is not high.”

Gojo Satoru's [Sakuran] cannot be used at a distance too close to himself. Although it looks like he is chasing the cursed spirit, he is actually keeping a certain distance from the cursed spirit.

"If we can break through the domain, it will cause great damage to it."

Amamiya Rai said, "I want to try, but I'm afraid I don't have enough strength. Can you help me, Wu-kun?"

"Of course you can!"

Gojo Satoru shouted, then pointed his finger towards the extremely dark sky, where there was a thin membrane, which was the boundary of the realm.

[The technique is reversed——]

The young man narrowed his eyes, and the cursed power in his hands was spinning wildly, circling above. At a certain moment, it reached its peak, and the gathered power dissipated instantly.

[Hah]!

The boundary of the domain was stretched out by the power released when the spell was successful. The originally thin membrane seemed to be broken at the moment. Amamiya Ruisei raised his hand and followed Gojo Satoru's movements to perform his own spell.

A visible scratch appeared in the sky. The collision between the cursed energy and the domain was extremely strong. Amamiya Keishi spat out a mouthful of blood and saw with his sharp eyes a slight opening in the scratch.

“Good job!!”

The domain was broken, and the cursed spirit that was wandering around was injured and stopped in mid-air. Gojo Satoru turned his feet, aimed his hand that had not yet been retracted at that position, and successfully released the curse again.

This time he finally hit the core of the cursed spirit. He continued to cast spells as if they were free. The hole in the domain became bigger and bigger, and finally it shattered before his eyes.

The two men panted as they watched the curse spirit begin to dissipate, and then collapsed to the ground.

"Finally solved, I'm so tired, I feel like having some sweets..." Gojo Satoru lay on the bumpy ground without any image, looking up at the sky which had cleared the haze. He didn't know how long they had been in the realm. It was already dark, and the crescent moon hung high above, as if smiling.

Amamiya Ruisheng paused for a while with difficulty, then turned his head to look at Gojo Satoru. Seeing his comfortable look, he couldn't help but stretch out his soft arm and weakly hit Gojo Satoru on the head with his fist.

"What?" Gojo Satoru asked vaguely.

"Next time...I won't listen to you and come up."

"Well, it's good that it succeeded. If we wait a few more hours, the cursed fetus will hatch."

Gojo Satoru curled his lips: "But Ruisheng is also very powerful. What if after this incident, you are promoted to a first-class sorcerer?"

"Then please take it down, Wu-kun..."

"Wow, then those old guys will be even more jealous of me. Leisheng, are you really not going to do it? Hey, Leisheng? Leisheng?"

Gojo Satoru called out for a while but heard no response from Amamiya Keisei. He turned his head and saw that he was just sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, unconscious. There was blood at the corners of his mouth and on his clothes, and his face was very pale.

"Hey? Leisheng!?" He jumped up from the ground, grabbed Amamiya Leisheng's shoulders and shook him vigorously, "Don't sleep, don't sleep!"

After shaking for a long time, Gojo Satoru was about to carry the man and run away, when he heard the other party mutter: "Don't shake, I'm not dizzy, but if you shake again, you will be dizzy. Believe it or not, I will punch you again."
