Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 8 Roses and Monsters
Fang Yi clicked on the five branch options that appeared under [Black Flash lv5].

1. [After Black Flash is triggered, the efficiency of the next spell is greatly improved]

2. [When black flash is triggered, the multiplier increases]

3. [Black Flash trigger probability increased, some damage can be converted into pure damage]

4. [Black Flash consumes less mana, and continuous triggering can restore mana]

5. [When Black Flash is triggered, enhance your ability to withstand attacks]

After Fang Yi clicked on two options, the other options turned gray.

【Choose two from five?】

After much deliberation, I decisively chose 2 and 3.

At present, I am reviewing all my skills and thinking in terms of portization.

All of the real person's attacks basically killed him instantly, and the only technique at the moment, the [Reversal Technique], could not solve the problem on the defensive end.

With the resurrection relic [Five Emperors' Coins], as long as the lifespan is replenished, defense will not be a problem.

On the offensive side, considering the buff stacking, it is feasible to choose the multiplier amplification branch and the trigger probability increase branch of [Black Flash] to further amplify one's own advantages.

There is also the pure damage mentioned in the options. You can use your real-life clone to test whether you can hurt the real-life soul.

After Fang Yi clicked on the evolution branch, the plus sign after the skill level of [Black Flash] did not light up.

[Do I still need to return to the reincarnation space to improve? ]

Fang Yi paced back and forth, thinking about his next move.

[After the plot was changed, Yuji joined the battle earlier. Although the real person was weakened by my punch, Yuji was hardly his opponent.]

[Even with the [Unjust Game] technique that allows for position swapping, even top-tier support Aoi Todou might not be able to arrive in time to save Yuji.]

Fang Yi looked at the [26 years of remaining lifespan] displayed on the system and pondered his next decision.

[We need to kill the real person's clone first to further weaken him and create sufficient conditions for defeating him.]

[And there's also the mastermind behind this, Nozomi. Ultimately, he's going to extract the real person's technique. He's definitely not going to get any kills from this big boss.]

From a profit perspective, you can kill a few of the other cursed spirits captured by Noose to gain points, and then watch Noose show off.

[Finally, I'll wait for the special magician Jiujiu Yuki to come out and brush up her friendship level to see if I can get more skills. Then I can return.]

Fang Yi tried hard to recall the plot, trying to find a suitable entry point to gain more points and replenish his lifespan before returning.

[First try to find the real person's clone that is fighting with Nobara Kugisaki, and use the [Resonance] of Nobara Kugisaki's [Cultivation Spell] to weaken the real person's body from a distance and relieve the pressure on Yuji.]

[That clone can't use [Wuwei Transformation] on a magician, nor can it transform ordinary humans, but killing it will definitely give you life and points based on the difficulty.]

[It is very difficult to defeat the real person at this stage, but it is not difficult to defeat the clone who cannot use most of the functions of [Wuwei Transformation]. ]

Fang Yi finalized the next strategy.
-
When Fang Yi realized that his curse power had recovered, he turned to Nanami Kento and asked, "How much of your curse power has recovered?"

"4%."

"Would you mind explaining your technique? I might need your cooperation in the subsequent battles."

"The insignificant Ten-Stroke Spell can forcibly create weaknesses in anything. It divides objects and enemies into ten parts based on their length, with the points in the 30/70 split being the weaknesses."

"Hitting the weak spot will deal high damage and increase the chance of triggering [Black Flash]."

Nanami Kento answered as he buttoned up all the buttons on his shirt.

[The highly friendly character [Nanami Kento] teaches you the unique skill [Ten Stroke Spell], which requires 5000 points and 3 A-level plot points]

Fang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard the prompt. He didn't expect that the exclusive technique could also be learned as a skill.

It is still a passive technique with a very high utilization rate and a very high compatibility with one's own skill set.

After confirming his studies, looking at the cost of 3000 points per level up, he became even more motivated to find his real-life clone.

He continued to ask Nanami Kento, "Are you familiar with the map of Shibuya?"

Nanami Kento paused, subconsciously wanting to touch his glasses, but then remembered that they had been scrapped in battle. "Gathering combat intelligence in advance is an indispensable ability for a magician to carry out a mission."

"Good, so we can go kill that stitched-face cursed spirit."

"Turn back and fight alongside Yuji?" Nanami Kento frowned, seeming to disapprove of this strategy. "No, in our current state, we'll become a burden to Yuji. Yuji is the only one immune to that cursed spirit's technique."

Fang Yi began to make up plots based on his understanding of the plot and find reasonable excuses.

Used to convince Nanami Kento, a strong and reliable teammate, to support his actions.

"Just now, when you were unconscious, I dealt with several clones of the Stitched Face Curse Spirit. During the battle, I found that the clones were unable to use [Inaction Transformation] on me."

"Also, when the clone was fighting me, the cursed power of another magician suddenly erupted from his body, causing him to suffer great damage."

Nanami Kento's frown relaxed. "You mean, someone can attack the clones and transfer the damage to the bodies of all the Stitched Face Curse Spirits?"

"Yes, Yuji told me before that he had a companion who had a technique that matched this phenomenon."

Nanami Kento blurted out, "Kugisaki."

Fang Yi acted as if he suddenly understood something, "Yes, it's the girl named Kugisaki Nobara."

"We need to find her and kill the Stitched Face Curse Spirit's clone, thereby weakening the original body. This will also help Itadori."

"Where are we going? Are we going to wait around here near the main body?" Nanami asked as he started to put on his suit.

Fang Yi tried hard to recall the contents of the comics, "Go to Dogenzaka Alley. I just sensed the fluctuations of the sorcerer's cursed power there."

"Also, let me first tell you about the specific strategy."

After listening to this, Nanami Kento nodded, indicating that he approved of this strategy. After putting on his suit, he began to familiarize himself with his newly healed body.
-
In the narrow alley on Dogenzaka Alley, Kugisaki Nobara was fighting with Masato.

Looking at the real person in front of her, she felt something was wrong.

When he was trying to hold on and rush to the fifth underground floor for support, he met the stitched-face cursed spirit described by Nanami-senpai and Itadori on the way.

She remembered the information that [she couldn't be touched by his hands, he could change the shape of his body at will, extending it to expand the range of his attack, and his soul had to be destroyed for the attack to be effective].

However, after a brief confrontation, she immediately noticed something was wrong with the other party.

[The cursed spirit said, "These are useless to me. You should have known that by now."]

[However, his cursed power did not give me any sense of oppression. His attack method was simply to change his body, transforming his hands into various weapons to attack me.]

[He just had a chance to touch my body. If he had decisively activated [Wuwei Transformation], I would have died long ago.]

Nobara Kugisaki's mind was racing, even though the conclusion she came to was hard for her to believe.

But after using the process of elimination, it is clear that the Stitched Face Curse Spirit in front of us is:
【Avatar】

Kugisaki Nobara secretly made up her mind, but she said, "Sometimes, even if you know it's useless, you still have to take action."

The real person looked at the female magician whose left shoulder was scratched by him, and quickly used [Wuwei Transformation] to heal the wound on his cheek that was scratched by the nail.

[Foolish sorceress, don't you know that my clone can't cast [Transformation without Action] on the enemy? It's like it's trapped in its own cocoon, restricting its own actions.]

The real person grinned, feeling an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

[That female magician just now seemed to have mentioned Itadori Yuji. They must be very close.]

[If my clone kills her here and takes her body over, that brat Itadori Yuji will definitely collapse! That will be the perfect opportunity for me to kill him.]

The real person looked at the sorceress who used spells and tricks to knock him down, scattered nails, and swung a hammer at him.

He just found the other party's efforts funny. If they couldn't attack my soul, weren't they all in vain?
This behavior reminded him of the story of Sisyphus pushing the stone in the human book he had read before.

However, the word "resonance" uttered by the sorceress, as well as the severe damage to the souls of both the original body and the clone, made the curse spirit feel extremely uneasy.

[Her technique is my natural enemy! ]

In a flash, the real person changed his strategy.

[I have to lure her into chasing me, then unconsciously swap my true self and clone. My true self will pretend to be the clone, and I'll use [Wuwei Transformation] to eliminate her while she has information gap.]

The real clone turned around and ran away, and the real body that was fighting with Yuji immediately split into several pieces, breaking free from Yuji's entanglement.

Seeing the female sorceress who was chasing after his clone and his real body on the way were about to meet, the real person could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

After crossing two corners and walking straight for a few hundred meters, she will exchange the two at the exit of the subway station, and that will be her death!
However, as soon as the real person's clone turned the first corner, he was met with Fang Yi's fist filled with cursed power.
