Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Higashido Aoi stood still, watching Ya fly over.

He covered his entire body with his magical power; I'll deflect this level of seed for you!

The bud flew halfway.

"Really?" Kotakada's voice echoed in my mind.

Toudou's pupils contracted slightly as he saw Kotakada open the classroom door (in his mind).

"Takada-chan!"

"Toudou-kun, you need to reverse your thinking."

Kotaka sat on the podium, her long legs, clad in black stockings, swaying in front of the table.

"Reverse the mindset?" Dongtang fell into deep thought.

"Do you remember Fukuro's wound?"

"Of course I remember, it's the seed they're firing at me right now, that's why I—"

"However, hasn't Fukuro's seed grown a little?"

Dongtang's pupils contracted.

"Does it grow by absorbing blood?" Kotakada shook his head and continued, "It's not impossible, but the opponent is a cursed spirit. In that case, what's the most likely explanation?"

"Curse power!" Toudou snapped his fingers and answered.

The next instant, Dongtang withdrew all his magical power just as the seed was about to touch his chest.

He faced countless seeds head-on with his bare flesh.

"Bang bang bang".

The seed hit him, but that was all!

Dongtang looked down at the red spots on his chest. There were only a few marks left on his skin that hadn't faded yet, and there wasn't even any blood.

Hua Yu had not anticipated that someone with such a high concentration of magical power could withdraw all of their magical power to zero the instant the bud pierced their skin.

Dongtang didn't care what she was thinking; he clapped his hands.

Position swap.

Tiger Staff was moved behind him, and he himself appeared behind Flower Princess.

The branch on Hana's right arm reflexively stabbed at him, but Todo swayed to the left to deceive the direction of the branch's thrust, and clapped his hands again.

This time, he didn't exchange himself for Tiger Rod.

A metallic reflection shone from the riverbed. Youyun lay among the pebbles in the shallow water, his three-section staff swaying slightly from the current, the silvery-white chains of magical power still faintly glowing.

The special-grade cursed artifact that Maki had dropped into the river during the battle on the riverbank has been lying there ever since.

Dongtang swapped the positions of the scepter and the drifting clouds at the bottom of the river.

Water splashed up, and Huzhang stood firm on the riverbed pebbles, the water only reaching his calves.

"Huh?"

Dongtang reached out and grasped Youyun's hand; the chain of the three-section staff lit up the moment it touched his fingers.

He swung away from Youyun's first section, and the head of the stick came crashing down from Hua Yu's side and rear.

Hua Yu turned to block, using the branch on her right arm to meet the attack.

After smashing the attacking branch, Youyun's stick did not slow down and continued to strike Huayu's right shoulder.

As it struck, the chain loosened automatically by one link, and the stick tip bypassed the hard bark on her shoulder and struck the back of her neck.

Hua Yu staggered forward as You Yun's second section was thrown out, slamming into her waist from the lower left.

The third strike came down from directly above and hit him in the chest.

The three shots hit three different spots, and Hua Yu's body swayed three times.

Dongtang did not give her a chance to be reborn.

He retrieved Youyun, gripped the center of the staff, and used the end of the staff to stab into the still-healing cross-shaped tear in Huayu's chest.

The chain taut into a straight line the moment it was inserted, and all the magical power was concentrated at the point of contact at the end of the staff.

The cross-shaped gash on Hana's chest burst open.

The residual curse power within the black flash and the curse power flowing through the clouds violently repelled each other at the same point, tearing the two curse powers apart.

The bark on Hanami's chest was completely peeled off from the trunk.

"what!"

Hua Yu let out a painful roar.

Damn it, this is a top-grade cursed artifact plus my full power!

Dongtang gritted his teeth, and was about to step forward, but then stopped.

Behind the defensive barrier, Hua Yu placed her left arm on the ground.

The life force of countless plants on the ground was absorbed by the flower on her left arm.

"I should have avoided using this tactic if possible."

"My left hand can take the life of plants and convert it into magical power."

"The magical power won't return to me; instead, it will all flow into this [offering flower]."

The eye in the center of the flower on Hana's left arm suddenly opened.

Dongtang sensed it; the flower on Hanami's left shoulder was gathering immense magical power, about to be launched.

Tiger Rod also sensed it.

Unlike last time at the juvenile detention center, this time he could clearly sense the direction of the curse power in space.

He pushed off the ground and rushed out.

This step was faster than any previous one.

The rubble exploded behind his feet, and before it even hit the ground, he had already crossed the water, passed by Dongtang's side, and passed that extremely thick defensive wall.

"Domain Exhibition -"

Hanami sensed that the others had already reached behind the defensive barrier, their fingers still making gestures to expand the domain. She had misjudged Itadori's reaction speed.

Tiger Staff appeared directly in front of her. Her right fist was tucked to her side, and the magical energy on her fist had begun to glow.

He didn't wait for himself to regain his balance or for his breathing to settle.

"Catch up!"

Just as he reached Hua Yu, that one ten-thousandth of a second that his heartbeat and the trembling of his cursed power synchronized came knocking on his door, and in that instant, he threw a punch.

"【Black Flash】!!!!!!"

The final black lightning bolt struck below Hana's left arm.

The fist made contact with the left arm that was gathering energy.

The bark on his arm shattered into fibrous fragments under the impact of the black flash, and the charge was interrupted.

His left arm was severed by the black flash, and blood gushed out from the cut, falling onto the riverbank pebbles.

The expansion of the domain was forcibly terminated, its edges shattered into points of light, and the accumulated magical power exploded.

Hua Yu was sent flying backwards and crashed onto the riverbank, his left arm breaking off in the river.

She lifted her head from the rubble and looked up at the large tent in the sky.

The tent split open from the top center, the black tent shattering into countless pieces, which glittered in the sunlight for a moment before disappearing.

The tent set up by the HDB estate, which refused entry to Gojo Satoru, began to crumble.

Hua Yu used her right arm to support herself on the rubble and stood up.

The banquet was over, and Gojo Satoru could come in at any time, but no one knew where the real person was.

She used her remaining magical power to sense the depths of the forest, and both tents had disappeared; neither the small tent belonging to the real person nor the large tent outside was there.

She couldn't sense whether the real person was there or not.

We have to run!

Hua Yu turned and rushed into the depths of the forest.

She doesn't need to run past Gojo Satoru; she just needs to go into the forest. The forest is her domain, and once she's deep enough in the woods, she can hide herself in a network of tree roots.

The pebbles underfoot were kicked aside, and the body had already crossed the riverbank.

A silvery-white crack cut open in front of her.

It was a spatial rift, its edges gleaming with a cold white light, completely different from the reflection on the river surface.

Hua Yu nearly bumped into the crack, but she quickly dodged it.

Mashiro emerged from the other side of the jungle.

Feathered wings covered half of her face, concealing her expression.

When she saw the intact Japanese knotweed, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and then she turned her head to look at Hua Yu.

Cong Yu's blade was drawn from her waist, the tip tracing an arc.

A knife.

After taking two steps, Hua Yu split her body in the middle.
