Kamo Akajuro immediately replied, his previous dejected demeanor replaced by great confidence.

“Shutaro severely injured that powerless man, and I seized the opportunity to snatch what he wanted from his hands with the [Blood Hand].

"This is what I have seized. Please take a look, sir."

"Holy crap, Prison Gate?!"

When Kenmei Isayama saw the items that Akajuro Kamo had placed on the table using his old technique, "Blood Hand," he immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

It's no wonder that Kenmei Isayama lost his composure instantly. Anyone who saw something that seemed to have stepped out of a legend placed in front of them would involuntarily feel a chill run down their spine.

The small metal box in front of me, which looks like a Rubik's Cube, is covered with eyes, indicating that it is alive. The eyes on each face are constantly rotating, as if observing its surroundings.

It looks extremely ominous and terrifying, giving people a sense of beauty that comes from a loss of reason, and a deep-seated unease and goosebumps.

"I've never heard of this thing being in the Kamo family's house before?!"

"Take it away, take it somewhere else!!"

Kenmei Isayama waved his hand dismissively, as if he had seen something extremely unlucky, telling Akajuro to keep it away from his sight.

"Damn it, what bad luck."

This thing is quite famous; it has been missing for nearly a thousand years. I never expected to see this monstrous thing at the Kamo family's house.

【狱门疆】Literally, “狱门” means prison gate, the gate of a prison. In the Edo period, it also had the meaning of execution. “疆” can be understood as “border” or “domain”. Its capabilities can be completely summarized in one sentence.

There is nothing it cannot seal.

It can seal away everything, whether it's a top-tier cursed spirit, a human, or anything else.

It is a legendary top-grade cursed object, formed from the mummified body of a high-ranking monk a thousand years ago.

It might have some element of offering one's body to a tiger, but this thing doesn't seem to have any connection to Buddhism whatsoever. I don't know why the high-ranking monk transformed into such an evil entity.

Kenmei Isayama had no desire to experience being sealed away. Staying in a dark, sunless place for more than a day would drive anyone crazy. It was said that once this thing was sealed away, it might not be released until death.

That's why Kenmei Isayama told Akajuro Kamo to keep that thing away; he really didn't want to touch it at all.

Who can be sure that when Kenmei Isayama touches that thing, [Prison Gate] won't activate?

It might look like it was intercepted by Kamo Shutara and Senjumaru, or it might be that they deliberately created an opening.

He waited until Isayama Kenmei's subordinate gave him this thing, and who knows what hidden mechanisms might activate at once.

We absolutely must be extremely cautious.

"In which room were you when you found him?"

Kenmei Isayama decided to ask for clarification first.

Kamo Shutara Senjumaru replied.

"We didn't notice it at first. We suddenly sensed a fleeting fluctuation of magical energy in the family storeroom and thought something was wrong, so we came to check it out."

"Isn't that a heavily guarded area?"

Kenmei Isayama knew about the treasury. It was similar to the place where he used to exchange items for a list at one of the courts of justice; it was the family treasury, containing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of gold, as well as priceless antiques and paintings.

Therefore, its importance is self-evident.

However, there is one more thing: the location of the family storehouse is kept absolutely secret. No one knows which way to go down there, except for the guards and the higher-ups.

In fact, Kenmei Isayama was under surveillance.

Tens of thousands of burrowing insects, completely hidden and invisible, are scattered throughout the entire clan. They can use their own eyes as surveillance, transmitting the footage to the Life-Shaping Queen.

Normally, these surveillance videos are kept for a month, so Kenmei Isayama has plenty of time to find what he wants.

Under the cover of night, a stealthy figure slipped in. The purpose was crystal clear; there wasn't a single misguided step—it was headed straight for the Kamo family's treasury.

Compared to how well he knew him, Kenmei Isayama seemed like an outsider.

If Isayama Kenmei had known earlier, he would have kept a hound at home. Since the hospital area is quite large, he had planned to have the hounds accompany his two personal guards inside, and perhaps give them a little test while they were riding the dogs.

Kenmei Isayama had all the best ideas, but unfortunately, things never went as planned. He couldn't accomplish anything.

Kamo Shutara Senjumaru continued...

"When we arrived, we never expected to find that all the guards had been killed instantly and were lying on the ground."

The family storeroom was guarded by elite first-class sorcerers of the Kamo family, yet they were all fatally wounded with a single blow without the Kamo family noticing. The two Kamo members were quite astonished when they witnessed this.

In fact, the enemy's infiltration had already begun when Kenmei Isayama and his two personal guards went to the hospital where the incident occurred.

"They managed to bypass the guards. There's also a possibility that a trap was set."

But honestly, he was quite "pitiful." He suffered a mixed doubles attack from Kamo Shutara Senjumaru and Kamo Akajuro.

After receiving the blessing, the difficulty of their spells increased exponentially, making even Kenmei Isayama find it troublesome.

There's no way to prevent that lethal dose; just a brief contact with it can cause illness in the blood, affecting white blood cells, red blood cells, and the entire immune system.

和谏

Yamanori's meditation was correct. The body that had been attacked by Kamo Akajuro had now completely turned into a pool of blood due to the dissolution of muscle tissue and various cells in the internal organs.

Isayama Kenmei didn't even need to personally handle it; he was already taken care of once again.

"My lord, if it really is [Prison Gate]..."

Standing behind Kenmei Isayama, Ritsuji Kamo, who had been thinking about something, said...

"In another hometown of mine, there seems to be a sorcerer who spends his whole life weaving a black rope that can subdue this thing."

Kamorija Barrow is of mixed race, with half of his blood coming from a mysterious sorcerer family in North Africa.

That place was also a place where mysticism and sorcery flourished; otherwise, the Kamo family would not have granted them permission to marry, and this child would not have been born.

Legend has it that there is a special black rope that sorcerers spend their entire lives weaving, which has the effect of interfering with the release of spell power. If several ropes are used together, they can also eliminate the effects of spells.

With his prompting, Kenmei Isayama seemed to remember as well.

【Prison Gate】 is not invincible; any weapon or spell with the ability to remove curses can nullify it.

He didn't need to travel to Africa for such a weapon; Kenmei Isayama already possessed one. Moreover, its magical effect was extremely powerful, absolutely erasing any magical effect that was currently in effect.

That is Fukushiro, a subordinate of Isayama Kenmei. The broken sword in his hand, the [Heavenly Rebellion Blade], is the natural enemy of [Prison Gate Frontier].

Thinking about it this way, Kenmei Isayama has reached the pinnacle of power, so wouldn't his psychic abilities have the same effect?

Psychic energy can dispel cursed power; a blade infested with spirits can be used to strike a sorcerer. The resulting intense pain will involuntarily cause them to stop using spells, making it a targeted attack against sorcerers.

The dagger that Kenmei Isayama obtained in the last simulation, crafted from the hand bones of the Silent Sister, seems to have a similar effect to the [Heavenly Rebellion Blade].

Okay, so that means if Kenmei Isayama is sealed by [Prison Gate], there are still quite a few ways to rescue him.

It seemed there was no need to worry about the risk of being sealed away. With that thought, Kenmei Isayama took out a dagger made from the bones of the Silent Sister from his backpack and handed it to Rijie Kamo, who was standing next to him.

"If I'm sealed away, then I'll use this thing to stab that cursed object."

Isayama Kenmei prepared to put [Prison Gate Frontier] into his backpack. No matter how overpowered something is in the world of sorcery, it will become obedient when it comes to the system.

[Prison Gate] These cursed objects are too dangerous; they are among the few things that can threaten Kenmei Isayama, so they must be brought under control.

However, the system inventory can only store inanimate objects. Is this thing even considered inanimate? It has so many wide-open, lifeless eyes, their pupils bulging, seemingly staring at someone.

Kenmei Isayama picked up the [Prison Gate], and immediately felt its metallic texture; it was much heavier than he had expected. It was as if it were a cursed artifact that had been infinitely compressed, resulting in an exceptionally large mass.

Fortunately, unlike the image of Kenjiro Isayama, the spell didn't activate immediately upon contact, completely sealing him away.

Should I put it in my backpack?

Isayama Kenmei immediately chose yes, and soon, [Prison Gate] disappeared from his palm with a whoosh.

From this day forward, the [Prison Gate] will never be seen again.

Being sealed away by his own hands finally relieved Kenmei Isayama, who no longer had to live in fear as before.

“Come on, tell me more. The characteristics of that guy who invaded the family.”

"I also think that the number of patrol personnel, patrol batches, and patrol routes within our family need to be replanned."

Because the information has been leaked, people are treating the Kamo family's defense system as nothing.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Kenmei Isayama had used up all the vacation time he had given himself. It's true what they say, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation."

Before and after this short vacation, Kenmei Isayama's status suddenly became exceptionally prestigious. The next head of a family with a net worth of trillions of dollars sounds terrifying, almost like something out of a fairy tale.

But what's most terrifying is that he has thousands of sorcerer henchmen. With so many more followers, they all acknowledge Kenmei Isayama as their boss.

As the saying goes, money is something you can do without, but you can't live without. Life used to be tight, but now it's much more comfortable.

Kenmei Isayama also enjoyed the benefits of capitalism, since the Kamo family's main residence wasn't actually that far from his school, Aoyama Gakuen.

Therefore, having family vehicles pick up and drop off Kenmei Isayama was quite convenient.

It still features the Spirit of Ecstasy shining with silver light on the hood, while the black Rolls-Royce Phantom Custom Edition serves as the ceiling for this luxury large car.

To accommodate the fact that its students are mostly children of the wealthy and powerful, Aoyama Academy has an underground parking garage where students get on and off their vehicles. People dropping off students can simply drive around the garage once to exit the school.

Therefore, the underground parking garage was much more lively than the students' area above ground. It was also Kenmei Isayama's first time here. The underground parking garage was exceptionally bright and clean.

Before Kenmei Isayama's vacation, few people probably knew him, and there were only occasional rumors circulating about him. However, after being publicly announced throughout the school as a promising talent by the Ministry of Education's International Education Department, and after achieving the highest score in the entire second-year class, he suddenly became a prominent figure on campus.

In the days when Kenmei Isayama was away, his newspapers were everywhere, and now it's rare to find someone at this school who doesn't know him.

"Damn, who told me his family was poor?"

As he stepped out of the custom-built Phantom, the students around him began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Their family is poor, so the driver drives a Phantom?"

Kenmei Isayama smiled helplessly; he hadn't expected that a simple car ride could cause such a commotion.

However, Kenmei Isayama was no longer on the same level as them. He was at a higher level than the fathers of these powerful and wealthy families, or even the heads of their clans.

A thousand years have passed, and countless families have declined, but the three great families of the sorcery world have remained forever, standing strong for a thousand years.

As the next head of the Kamo family, Kenmei Isayama's status was undoubtedly prestigious; no one in the entire school held a more esteemed position than him.

But to his surprise, just as Kenmei Isayama entered the classroom, the principal, the teacher, and Asagi arrived together, looking very hurried, as if they had something to discuss with him.

"What's wrong, Principal or teacher?"

Isayama Kenmei asked
