582. Genius Sorcerer Demon

A speech is taking place on the streets of Tokyo.

A middle-aged man, a former prime minister and also closely associated with the Gojo family, one of the three major families, is waving to the crowd around him.

His smile was warm and friendly, and he held hands and hugged the people without any barriers, as if he were truly a good leader and politician who shared joy with the people.

Tanaka Yuki looked at him coldly from the crowd.

This guy is one of those disgusting so-called high-ranking members of the sorcery faction, and also one of the so-called three major families of sorcery.

In the world of ordinary people, he is a glamorous former prime minister; in the private world, he is a member of the supervisory department that decides the life and death of countless sorcerers. Sorcerers and curse masters are always one.

They are rentiers who are above ordinary people, no matter where they are.

This country, which gathers all the magical power in the world, is fundamentally sick. The so-called world in the shadows actually rules everything in the open; they are all one.

They all deserve to die!!!

Yuuki's eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to see his brother jumping to his death, his sister crying helplessly, and he saw...

There are too many people who deserve to die, and too many things that deserve to die.

Kill! Only kill! Only kill!!!

Nothing but killing can save this ailing world!

A strong magical power emanated from Yuuki's body, and a gun appeared in his hand!

As the first sinner demon, Tanaka Yuuki possesses three forms.

Human Sorcerer Form, Gun Demon Form, and Gun Devil Form

The power output of these three postures undoubtedly increases sequentially. For him at present, even if he exchanges power for restraint, he can only enter the third state after activating his domain.

There was nothing he could do; the constraints weren't actually that 'unacceptable' to him.

The binding rules of a sorcerer are self-centered, just like the public disclosure of spells. Only by doing things that are detrimental to oneself can one obtain an increase or change in the power of the spell.

Tanaka Yuki did not want to kill innocent people, so the constraint of this 'gun of kindness' was, in a sense, the result he desired, and therefore, he could not gain much power.

But Tsugumi is a very generous boss, and he admires Yuuki's spirit.

The power he gave Yuuki was far greater than the power he could obtain through restraint, and he also told Yuuki how these special beings could become stronger.

Strictly speaking, they are neither human nor cursed spirits nor complete demons.

They maintain a physical body and essence visible to ordinary people, while the power that constitutes them is pure magical power. They cannot be healed by the Reversal Spell, but they cannot be killed by the Reversal Spell either.

Their souls and power were not yet sufficient to completely transform themselves into a part of hell and become true demons, but this was made up for by the special mechanism of this world.

This is a world of 'yin and yang balance'.

Just like the black and white energy in Jackie Chan Adventures, the world maintains a relative balance between sorcerers and spirits—the birth of a powerful sorcerer will lead to the birth of more spirits to balance each other, and vice versa.

This is why, in the decades since Gojo Satoru's birth, cursed spirits have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in Japan; it's because this balancing mechanism is working powerfully.

The half-sinful demons created by Tsugumi fall somewhere in between. They don't qualify as humans or cursed spirits, yet they benefit from the bonuses of both!

They grow stronger because of human fear, and the power of the cursed spirits allows the world to correct the spells used by humans.

In other words—

What Tsurugi created were miniature 'Tiger Emperors' manufactured in batches!

As the first sinner and demon, Tanaka Yuuki's only element is 'firearms', which is not actually a powerful element in Japan, after all, it is a country with strict gun control.

But fear can always be created, so Tanaka Yuuki knew perfectly well that if he wanted to become stronger and realize his dream, there was only one thing he could do—

kill! ! !

The gun that materialized in his hand fired twice, and then the former prime minister collapsed with a look of astonishment on his face.

Tanaka Yuki raised his smoking pistol expressionlessly and then pulled the trigger at the crowd.

The sound of tearing bullets rang out amidst the screams of the crowd, but strangely, some people fell down directly, while others, even when hit by bullets, remained unharmed, only falling unconscious but not dying.

Having largely confirmed that his restraints had worked on his abilities, Tanaka Yuki put down his pistol and sat down to wait.

863 >>

And soon, he met the person he was waiting for.

A burly young man in a black school uniform with a ponytail, and a young man with an ancient hairstyle wearing a black imperial robe.

"Is it you? The curse master who publicly assassinated the former prime minister? The Directorate General also said that you killed this guy's cousin in Nara City."

The burly young man thumped his fist, stepped forward, and said bluntly and without any politeness...

"My technique is called 'Fire Construct.' As the name suggests, it is a simple construction technique, but it can only construct firearms, so it can make the firearms themselves much simpler."

Tanaka Yuki held a Type 89 5.56mm automatic rifle, the one he used most often during his service in the Self-Defense Forces, in his hands and calmly said...

"But while I was constructing the spell, I rewrote it with binding. By consuming more than ten times the total amount of spell power, I can create two bullets. One will definitely miss, while the other will have a guaranteed hit and kill effect from the domain."

In a sense, the man named Tanaka Yuki was a true genius. Within half an hour of acquiring the technique, he had already mastered how to use binding to gain an advantage.

Of course, one reason for this was that Tsurugi had given him a knowledge-sharing session, saving him a lot of time learning, and that as a demon, he had an innate sensitivity to contract abilities.

Regardless, the talent possessed by this man, who was neither one of the three founding families nor had he ever attended a single day of classes at the Sorcery Academy, was undeniable. And the emotions and spiritual tempering accumulated over decades of hardship made him shine like a brilliant gem.

And now is the moment when the gemstone shines!

With a bang, the first bullet left the barrel, and at the same moment, the sorcerer with the simple hairstyle from the Heian period also acted instantly.

Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique: Crimson Binding!

The blood plasma bag he threw exploded instantly, turning into blood whips that seemed to come alive and lashed out at Tanaka Yuki. However, he dodged it with a tactical roll beforehand and fired a second shot!

Kamo Noriyuki's face turned pale as he looked at the bullet embedded in his right chest. If it weren't for his magical defense, the bullet would have pierced his lung.

But at the same time, he also confirmed a fact.

"Toudou! This guy's bullets are so accurate that you can't lock onto the exact target!" Kamo Noriyuki said. After all, if he could pinpoint the exact spot where his bullets hit, Kamo's head would be blown off by now!

“I’m not blind, I can see!” Toudou Aoi said bluntly, then threw a cursed weapon at Tanaka Yuuki.

Just as Yuuki dodged the throw, he clapped his hands in a flash.

Snapped!

The life-giving technique that can be exchanged with any target containing cursed power was activated by 'Injustice Game', and he instantly arrived in front of Yuuki.

A fist imbued with powerful magical energy slammed directly towards his face, and as if by divine intervention, this fist was accompanied by a bolt of black lightning.

Black Flash is a spatial distortion effect that occurs when the error between a physical strike and a spell impact is within 0.000001 seconds, and its power is on average 2.5 times that of the normal force.

Therefore, this punch was undoubtedly enough to kill the frail Yuuki in front of him!

A punch landed on the target, but it didn't feel like a direct hit. Instead, a plume of smoke billowed out in front of him, and Toudou Aoi's eyes narrowed slightly.

The person in front of them suddenly unleashed an aura of cursed spirit! Not only that, but extended gun barrels grew from his head and hands.

Has he become a cursed spirit? Or is this some kind of spell he's constructing...?

run! ! !

Driven by a strong sense of crisis, Toudou Aoi once again launched the Unjust Game, but the next second, waves of pain spread throughout his body!

Da da da da da da! ! !

Yuuki, transformed into the Demon of Guns, expressionlessly tilted a large number of bullets in all directions, firing a total of sixty bullets. Thirty of them, under the constraints of the structure, directly hit Toudou Aoi and Kamo Kenki!

Before they could even react or construct a spell, thirty bullets imbued with magical power, evenly distributed throughout their bodies, instantly annihilated them!

"——!!!"

The excruciating pain spreading throughout his body made Toudou Aoi's eyes widen, but the cold gun barrel pressed against the back of his head immediately made his heart sink.

“My spells are, in a sense, the most difficult type for you sorcerers to deal with,” Yuuki said calmly.

"Most of your sorcerers' defensive capabilities are no match for firearms without the addition of sorcery. In fact, to deal with you, I only need to snipe from a distance. Moreover, my spell can actually construct and store bullets containing the cause and effect of a guaranteed hit in advance."

Are you showing off your victory?

Higashido Aoi secretly circulated her magical power, but was surprised to find that she did not seem to have suffered any fatal injuries. She then hissed...

"No, I'm just revealing the technique." Yuuki loosened his ankles and slowly raised his hands.

"Next, I will raze the National Diet Building to the ground, and I will declare war on all of Japan. I will not stop the war until your General Headquarters collapses."

"Go back, you sorcerers who aren't exactly evil. Since you can't die by my hand, go tell those behind you what I've done in the name of my master, the Crimson King!"

"Wait, what you said—" Kamo Noriyuki, standing nearby, anxiously tried to press for an answer, but the next second, he and Toudou Aoi were about to witness a scene they would never forget.

"Domain Expansion · Dead-end Standard Collaboration"

Tanaka Yuki uttered the sound of the domain unfolding in a calm, still voice.

The next second, they saw a terrifying behemoth appear in the sky above Tokyo.

In fact, it wasn't just these sorcerers who witnessed this scene. Countless people at the Ginza intersection seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand at that moment. Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same second, looked up, and opened their mouths.

A colossal, terrifying, and indescribably tall monster, tens of meters high, stands in the Tokyo sky.

Even though most people with insufficient magical power cannot actually see its appearance, the suffocating feeling still instills in them a strong fear of 'something existing in the air'.

His presence could be seen throughout Tokyo at this moment, in a situation that was almost a complete collapse of his worldview.

He opened fire.

The first bullet, fired from the head, struck the National Diet Chamber a thousand miles away, instantly sending the main entrance of the House of Representatives, along with Ito Hirobumi, Okuma Shigenobu, and Itagaki Taisuke, flying into the air.

Then, he raised his two multi-barrel rotary cannons.

"————!!!"

An indescribable noise, the pure, dense, suffocating sound of machine guns, gunfire that had not echoed over Tokyo since 1945, ripped apart the peace of Tokyo.

On November 2, 2018, the National Diet Building, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and the Diet Members' Hall in Tokyo were attacked.
