Curse Return: Swordsmith Start

Is this... a tear in space?

As a result, the Yue man's slash shattered the fake black hole, but correspondingly, the power of the slash was reduced and its trajectory was deflected, only severing a small part of Tanhe's body.

At the same time, what made Yue Ren frown was that the forging flames that burned away the karma attached to the slashes did not continue to burn on Tan He's body. Those flames disappeared quickly as if they had no fuel, and there was no situation when facing the cursed spirit.

The reason is clear to Yue Ren: now that thing can be considered a 'new life,' no longer a cursed spirit (vengeful spirit). Now, it is more like a 'newborn.' Cause and effect have little effect on a newborn, so the flames have a very low effect.

and......

The Yue people's Wuyuan sword system is collapsing.

The ultimate strike that severs cause and effect is the signature technique of "Boundless Sword Technique". Using it requires consuming all the weapons in the domain. Without the "sword", this sword hill has no meaning to exist and will be forcibly withdrawn.

At the same time, the collision of the attacks that had just torn apart space accelerated this process. Those fragments were the shattered space itself, and being sliced ​​by them was no less powerful than being slashed by space itself, which is why those who sensed it would try to dodge.

"As expected, as long as I force you to use that strike, your peculiar domain will inevitably dissipate. This is the price of a powerful domain."

As everything around them crumbled, Lu Suo's triumphant laughter rang out.

Yue Ren remained calm and composed despite this; he was no longer the boy who would panic and act recklessly if things went wrong.

"Hmph, so what if you do? Do you really think you can beat me without a domain?"

The opponent's domain continued to expand, but it was ineffective against Yue Ren because gravity could not lock onto the 'rejected' Yue Ren. Inside this domain, where an ordinary person, or even a top-level mage like Jiu Jiu, would be seriously injured and on the verge of death, Yue Ren stood there as if nothing had happened.

With a flash of white light, Yue Ren and the enormous monster returned to reality.

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

The bullets shot out of the muzzle without a trajectory, as if suddenly crossing space and appearing within half a meter of the target in an instant.

Without dodging at all, letting the surrounding space be dominated by the barrage of comments, Yue Ren stared intently at his opponent as if he were a non-existent phantom, thus bathing in the barrage of comments.

Upon witnessing this scene, the impeachment, or rather, the Lu Suo, sighed.

"Hehehe... As expected, your strength has increased again. You actually went to learn from Gojo Satoru... But I'm sorry, what I asked for was not to deal with you, but simply to get you to release 'me'."

"This is... cursed power?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Ren noticed the anomaly and focused his attention. He noticed a continuous stream of magical energy surging towards the man in the air.

The range is so wide, I can't even perceive the boundary. Could it be the whole world...? No, it must be that this effect is created through the Tengen barrier, so the range is the whole of Japan?

But this is already exaggerated enough, okay? If the magical power is so immense, the attack probably wouldn't even be able to match the amount the opponent can recover.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the other party was constantly increasing, and an indescribable sense of crisis, as if something was brewing, was ravaging the hearts of everyone within a radius of several kilometers.

If we don't stop it, things seem to be going to get very bad.

Biological instincts constantly convey this message.

Is this guy still evolving? If that's the case, we have to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of monster form this guy will eventually turn into.

What kind of ridiculous game is this? The butterfly effect it created is a bit too outrageous.

He knew it would be difficult to change the tragedy, but he never expected it to be this outrageous.

Forget about that, let's think about how to deal with this guy.

Shaking his head slightly to correct his thoughts, Yue Ren gritted his teeth.

"A 'spell-based meltdown' is not an injury that can be repaired so quickly, and there was no obvious fluctuation of magical power at that moment. So the answer is, although it's a single entity, you big guy have more than one brain, right? The reason you were able to instantly absorb a domain is because you used a second brain."

The Yue man looked up at the huge thing with a confident expression.

And the other party responded.

"Hehehe... As expected of you, you guessed it so quickly. That's right, even if we use Gojo Satoru's method to repair the melt, it will still take time. And the speed of your slash was so fast that I had no choice but to reveal this move."

Having witnessed Gojo Satoru's battle against Sukuna, it had gained some experience in dealing with "Spell Fusion" Rōsō, but it wasn't enough. Its speed didn't allow it to spend time repairing the fuse, and in order to activate its domain in time to avoid damage, it had to expose its second brain's trump card.

Lu Suo actively merged with the body, while the impeachment, as a tool, was only used by others. So, although the two consciousnesses shared one body at this moment, they had two brains, and the brain of the impeachment was now under the control of Lu Suo.

Unless Lu Suo deems it necessary, the impeachment will remain in a semi-dormant state, assisting him in using this body.

This is impeachment; from beginning to end, it has always felt that it is a "tool" that needs to be used.

As for the idea of ​​proactively revealing something, Yue felt it was a good thing, because even knowing that he had multiple brains didn't make things simpler for Yue, since Yue wasn't sure if he had a third or fourth brain.

In high-level battles, unknown intelligence and trump cards can often tip the scales.

We need to keep gathering intelligence; if possible, it would be great to be able to touch it myself.

That way he could use "tracing the source" to fully understand the other party's situation, but in the current environment, once he removes his "rejection" stance, he will definitely be instantly rendered immobile and riddled with bullets. Does this mean he has no choice but to reveal his hand and break through head-on?

The Yue man, who was deep in thought, suddenly paused, his furrowed brows relaxed, and a clear smile appeared on his lips.

"So, what's the situation now?"

The sudden sound made the Yue people relax; after such a long delay, the reinforcements had finally arrived.

"You've finally arrived. I thought you didn't want to come because you were upset with me."

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm such a petty person?"

The female voice was arrogant and domineering, yet it carried an incredible sense of security. That's right, the newcomer was our strongest mage, "Six-Eyed" Gojo Satoru (female).

The Yue people didn't waste any words.

"The Lulu, the cursed spirit, the Su Nuo, and the barrier—all these elements have merged into one, creating this monster. It's no longer a cursed spirit; 'positive energy' is useless against it. Currently, we know it possesses a spear technique and an anti-gravity technique. It has two types of domain expansion, both open-ended, and it has more than one brain, so 'technique melting' is ineffective. That's all the information we have so far."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru's expression froze. He turned his head blankly to look at Echigo, wondering if he had misheard.

"You're kidding, right!"

"If this were a joke, I would have killed it by now, instead of it sitting here listening to me tell you a story, right?"

"That's true..."

Looking at the amount of bullets in front of her, enough to make a ton-heavy iron ball, Gojo Satoru understood somewhat. Although she hadn't stepped into the domain's range, the opponent had still used the second technique, which in itself spoke volumes.

It's still a bit unbelievable, though. One body with multiple brains? That's a foul, isn't it?

According to the laws of the sorcery world, it is impossible for a single mind to use spells within a specific domain.

This is troublesome. Two brains in one body, plus the continuous influx of magical power—this isn't just a case of one plus one equals two. Moreover, the Yue people said it wasn't just one brain, not two...

"Oh, you are... Gojo Satoru? Hahahaha... You've become a woman too? What's the reason for that? This is really interesting..."

"..."

Faced with the mockery of such an evil monster, Gojo Satoru's face immediately darkened.

"Let's all go all out and help me probe if it has any more tricks up its sleeve. Let's break through its defenses and create an opportunity for me!"

As they spoke, the Yue man pulled out a bow and arrows that were as black as ink.

"Understood, I won't let you down."

The Yue man's suggestion was exactly what she wanted. Although she no longer cared about such trivial matters, as an enemy, she wanted to make this guy pay the price.

Thus begins the final battle between the two strongest allies.

As the bow was drawn and the arrow pulled back, black and red, lightning-like magical power gathered on the arrow—that was—"Black Flash"?

No, it's not that simple?

Despite a flicker of shock, Gojo Satoru did not hesitate. He gathered his magical power in one hand and unleashed a "Spell Reversal"—"Hah!"—before Yue Ren could even react.

One drawback of the opponent's massive size is that you almost don't need to aim.

For someone like Gojo Satoru, basic skills, even at full power, almost don't require counting down.

A fully powered "Hah" was fired directly, but after entering the area of ​​effect, to Gojo Satoru's astonishment, not only did its trajectory deviate, but its energy also gradually weakened as it was consumed by countless bullets, and was eventually exhausted before it even got close to the monster itself.

So that's how it is. The unique and constantly changing gravity, coupled with the saturation of bullets, explains why the Yue people dared not approach. Even if he went in with the "Untouchable" in this situation, he wouldn't have an easy time.

Putting aside other things, his own "intangibility" is not yet at the level where he can freely cope with changes in gravity.

Gojo Satoru frowned.

This is really troublesome. Is it possible that we can only try to find out by using "茈"?

However, in the next moment, out of the corner of her eye, an arrow flashing with black and red lightning streaked across the sky like a meteor, shooting towards the most distinctive face resembling Su Nuo.

It was an attack by the Yue people, and... they were completely unaffected?

Neither bullets nor gravity had any effect on this attack. To everyone's surprise, the arrow pierced through the humanoid figure above their heads, creating a hole more than two meters in radius in their skulls.

The monster suddenly let out a horrible scream, it was hard to tell if it was a scream of agony.

However, the effect was obvious: the opponent's domain shattered!

Those are arrows with anti-magic properties? That kid's got some skills!

The domain and the barrage stopped at the same time. Gojo Satoru wouldn't let this good opportunity slip by. He made a decisive move and simultaneously reversed the spell.

The annihilation energy of the void gathered in his hand. Just now, Yue Ren had aimed at the opponent's head. Since it was like him, he would attack the body. If he could just smash this guy to pieces, he wouldn't need to worry about whether he had a brain or not.

One second later, the "virtual" form with a radius of three meters—"Zi"—suddenly burst forth.

It possesses the power to destroy everything and wants to crush everything.

But—the sound of the lute came again.

"Sorry, now is not the time for us to leave."

"Expanding the Domain - 'Paradise Kingdom'"

The domain that was forcibly interrupted by the Yue people when it first unfolded has finally reappeared at this moment.

The Yue man scoffed.

Is his brain not inside his head? He really doesn't give away a single clue.

The next moment, "Zi," which carried a terrifying pressure, stopped.

Then, to the bewilderment of Yue Ren and Gojo Satoru, the annihilating matter that could destroy everything... decomposed?

That's right. In a physical sense, the "virtual" energy that enters the domain is as if it has been scattered by some special force, and the energy is actually dispersed directly in the form of molecules!

Gojo Satoru, who saw everything clearly through his "six eyes," gradually began to lose his composure.

"...This joke has gone a bit too far!"

"Furube, Yura Yura"

"..."

The familiar words of power made Gojo Satoru, whose emotions were still unsettled, subconsciously turn around. He saw that the familiar boy was actually making a gesture that was familiar to him, but he didn't know why it was him using it.

What is he going to do?

"Eight-Handed Sword, Otherworldly God General"

Her expression was blank, and she thought it was impossible, but reality was slowly eroding her hope, turning her disbelief into surprise.

No way, could it really be...?

—"Demon Void"

From within the shadow of the boy, the strongest "shikigami" emerges and makes its debut.

"go!"

At Yue Ren's command, Mo Xu Luo strode forward, approaching the monster's territory.

Looking at that peculiar shikigami, Lu Suo also felt that something was amiss.

Upon entering the area, the bullets from "Attack Molecular Gap" were indeed present, indiscriminately attacking Demon Void Luo, attempting to disintegrate it on the spot.

The Demon Void Luo subsequently showed signs of 'collapse'...

So you really don't want to... huh?

But the next moment, to the astonishment of Rōsō and Gojō Sō, the Dharma Wheel above the head of the Demon Lord spun again, and within this doomed domain, its form recovered and it stood still.

Impossible! How could the newly summoned Demon Void Demon possess such adaptability? Directly withstanding the attack from the domain... unless?

"No doubt about it, I summoned Demon Void from the very first moment I saw these guys. It just stayed in my shadow. Although it was slow to adapt, it has now been able to analyze things like 'bullet attacks'."

The Yue people wouldn't make the same mistake twice. They had a precedent of this when facing this guy before, so how could the Yue people not be prepared this time?

So before Lu Suo arrived here, he had already arranged for Mo Xu Luo to come out, and now it seems that this move was very appropriate.

Looking at the boy who had come to her side, Gojo Satoru realized that she seemed to have never known the true strength of this student. Just how many more tricks did this guy have up his sleeve that she didn't know about?

The latest chapter has ignited the plot! Stay tuned for more updates.
