Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

Lynn's muscles tensed up in that instant, and his super-grade spell power surged wildly within him, like a fully drawn bow.

"Mr. Xia Youjie, this joke is not funny at all."

Lynn leaned on his black cane, and with his other hand he silently protected Shunping behind him and the unconscious Fuhei.

"I'm just a businessman who makes a small profit, but you..."

Lynn pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses sharp as a knife.

"But he's a wicked curse master who's trying to overthrow the entire world of sorcery..."

"A name is just a label."

Lu Suo was not angry; he maintained that smile that was both refreshing and chilling.

He slowly raised his hand, the wide sleeves of his cassock swaying in the wind.

"Whether you're a merchant or a curse master."

"In this coming new era, only the strong have the right to define identity."

Lu Suo's gaze passed over Lynn and looked into the restless darkness deep within the cave.

"Mr. Lynn, you just took that finger, didn't you?"

"Those are offerings for the Su Nuo ritual."

"I know."

Lu Suo nodded.

"But not everyone is qualified to give gifts to the 'Lord of Curses'."

"If your abilities don't match your ambitions, then the chips you hold will become your death warrant."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lu Suo flicked her fingers lightly.

"Buzz—"

A wave of obscure magical energy swept across the entire cavern in an instant.

It was like opening the gates to hell.

"Squeak squeak squeak—!!!"

"roar--!!!"

The countless low-level cursed spirits that had been lurking underground and had been frightened away by the previous battle now seemed to be summoned by some kind of frenzied frenzy.

They surged wildly from the cracks in the rock walls, from the pits underground, and from the dark corners.

Ten...a hundred...a thousand!

A dark mass, like a flood bursting its banks, swept towards Lynn and his companions with suffocating malice.

This is Lu Suo's greeting gift—the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

"That's way too much!"

Shunping looked at the overwhelming tide of cursed spirits, and his face turned deathly pale.

The nightmare of someone with trypophobia.

Moreover, each of the cursed spirits had a bloodthirsty red light flashing in its eyes, clearly indicating that they had been enhanced.

"Boss! What do we do?!"

Shunping subconsciously looked at Lynn.

Lynn did not move.

He simply watched the black tide that was about to engulf them, then turned his head slightly to look at Shunping behind him and Fukuro Megumi lying on the ground.

"Shunping".

Lynn's voice was eerily calm, showing no sign of being frightened by the horrific sight.

"Do you remember what I told you in the car?"

"Huh?" Shunping was taken aback.

"A true employee should learn to share the burdens of their boss."

Lynn slammed the Golden Law in his hand to the ground.

"Thump!"

An invisible wave of energy spread out from him, temporarily forcing back the few cursed spirits that were charging at the front.

"Listen up, Yoshino Junpei!"

Lynn's tone became stern and left no room for argument.

"This is your probationary period exam!"

He grabbed the unconscious Fukuro Megumi from the ground and threw her at Shunpei like a sandbag.

"Stay with him!"

"Don't let any of that filthy thing touch you until I've dealt with that big guy!"

"Is it even possible?!"

Shunping caught Fukuhei Hui and watched the horde of cursed spirits surge in like a tsunami, his legs trembling.

This is not a question of whether it can be done or not.

This can kill people!

but……

Shunping glanced at Lynn's back, which was blocking the way at the front.

That figure wasn't broad, but it was like a mountain, blocking the most terrifying pressure from Lu Suo.

"……yes!!"

Shunping bit his lip until it bled, and the fear in his eyes was replaced by determination.

"Yozuki!!"

A giant jellyfish shikigami appeared out of thin air, but this time, it did not float in the air.

Shunping formed hand seals and unleashed a torrent of magical power.

"Morph Transformation: Poisonous Fortress!"

The giant jellyfish landed instantly, its tentacles intertwining and hardening to form a semi-circular transparent shield, tightly protecting Shunpei and Fukuro Megumi inside.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The charging cursed spirit crashed into the protective barrier, and was immediately corroded by the deadly poison on the surface of its tentacles, letting out a shrill scream.

"Oh?"

Lu Suo, standing some distance away, raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Was that also... developed from scratch?"

"The use of shikigami is very interesting."

"but……"

Lu Suo's gaze returned to Lynn.

What I want to see is your quality.

"Go."

Lu Suo waved his hand.

Amidst the tide of cursed spirits, several enormous cursed spirits, clearly at the first level, roared as they bypassed Shunping's defenses and charged straight at Lynn!

Those were elite troops controlled by Lu Suo using the magic of spirit manipulation.

A strange bird with wings, a giant ape covered in rock armor, and a shadow demon lurking underground.

Three level-one cursed spirits attacked from both sides in a triangular formation!

Combined with the overwhelming number of smaller foes, this is a sure-fire victory.

"Oh."

Lynn looked at the charging monster, a graceful yet cold smile curving his lips.

He did not back down.

He didn't even draw his sword.

He simply held the black gentleman's cane in one hand, and strolled over as if attending a dinner party.

The monstrous bird spirit was the first to arrive, its sharp claws whistling as they tore through the air as it reached for Lynn's head.

Lynn didn't even look, casually raising his cane one step.

"when!!"

It was clearly a blunt weapon, yet it produced a crisp, metallic clang.

The strange bird's claws, sharp enough to crush a tank, were steadily blocked by this thin cane, unable to advance an inch.

at the same time.

The staff of the Golden Law trembled slightly.

An invisible fluctuation was swallowed by the cane.

"roar!!"

The giant rock ape followed closely behind, its millstone-sized fist slamming into Lynn's chest.

Lynn twisted his wrist, and his cane was held horizontally in front of his chest.

"Thump!!!"

The dull thud made the surrounding air vibrate.

Lynn's feet sank three inches into the ground, but his body remained completely still.

The cane vibrated again, and a dark streak of light flashed across its surface.

"Is that all?"

Lynn pushed up his glasses, his tone dismissive.

"If it's just these small fry, it's not even enough to cover the interest for me to draw my sword."

"Then let's increase the stakes a bit more."

Lu Suo laughed.

He held up a finger and pointed it at Lynn.

This time, the cursed spirit he released had a completely different aura.

boom!

A near-Special Grade imaginary vengeful spirit with three heads and its body burning with eerie green flames crawled out from the shadows behind Lu Suo.

It ignored Shunping and instead focused its attention on Lynn.

That sense of oppression made the air feel suffocating.

"That's more like it."

Lynn's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped his cane.

He could sense that the "debt" within his cane was yearning for more impact.

"call……"

Lynn understood that he had just reached the Special Grade, while Lu Suo was several levels above him.

To win, you must make the best use of every bit of strength.
