Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1213 - 885: Jujutsu (Part 2)

No way, unlike the previous alternate world experiences, although this world was popular for a while before Reiger crossed over, because it was a newly released show at the time, Reiger was running around the world seeking excitement and didn’t pay much attention, only briefly understanding some things and roughly going through the plot.

It’s already quite impressive that he could remember some of the original settings.

And the plot...

Emmmmmm... does the little Curse Theater at the end of each episode count?

Reiger watched it quite carefully because it was fun...

"Forget it, if I don’t know, I just don’t know."

With Reiger’s current strength, he no longer needs to rely on any foresight to maintain his advantage.

If he remembers correctly, although the power system of this world is not weak, it’s not yet to the point where powerful beings are everywhere.

With his normal state already comparable to level 9, surely he won’t be unable to get by in this world?

"[Magic Duration Extension·Three-legged Bird’s Guide]."

At present, Reiger activated the Guiding Magic and summoned the three-legged crow capable of finding the shortest route to the heart of this labyrinthine field.

"Caw!"

The three-legged crow circled above Reiger’s head for a while, then flew in a certain direction.

"That way?"

Reiger immediately followed, taking the Hermit from the dimension cube and tying it to his waist in passing.

Since this is the domain of either a Curse Mage or a Curse Spirit, there’s likely no avoiding combat unless by accident.

"Curse Techniques, huh..."

As Reiger walked forward, he showed an intrigued expression.

"Seems pretty powerful, maybe I’ll learn it if I get the chance."

...

"Hmm?"

In the shadowy domain, a creature seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head to look in a direction.

It could clearly feel that someone had intruded into its domain.

This wasn’t such a rare thing.

Not long ago, a similar group of people also broke into its domain and came into its world.

It originally wanted to go over there and toy with these uninvited guests for a bit, but this sudden intrusion made it temporarily discard that idea.

Because, the intruder this time seems different from the previous ones.

The earlier intruders were more in number, probably three, but they were weak, and it could easily toy with them to death.

But this later intruder... appears rather strong?

It tilted its head, becoming a bit puzzled.

It didn’t feel the presence of curse power from the other party.

No curse power, that is a very strange thing.

Curse power is the negative emotion that humans emit, regardless of who, even the most ordinary person would have very weak curse power seeping out.

But this person had absolutely no feeling of curse power, rather there was another kind of power that seemed like curse power yet much more positive.

This power... also seemed very strong?

Anyway, it couldn’t quite understand it, only vaguely sensing that the other was different from the previous weak intruders, and should be very strong.

Forgive it for not being able to make an accurate judgment or questioning. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After all, it was only recently born.

Under such circumstances, why not give it a try first?

This simple thought led it to this idea and immediately took action.

"Gibberish..."

With a peculiar cry, it summoned the weaker curse spirits dwelling in its domain.

Shadows, large and small, immediately appeared around it and, under its direction, headed toward that person.

"Hehehe..."

It laughed, seemingly enjoying and feeling happy about the game about to begin.

Little did it know, what it was welcoming was not a playmate it could casually toy with to death, but the Grim Reaper who could decide its final fate.

...

"Woof!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the domain, a dog bark suddenly sounded, causing the three people walking here to suddenly stop.

"What’s up, Fushiguro?"

"Did you discover something?"

A boy’s and a girl’s voice immediately rang out, without any tension in their voices, rather like the feeling of a leisurely tour, very relaxed.

Being called out by these two carefree companions, the other boy, known as Fushiguro, although feeling helpless, said nothing.

"The Jade Dog seems to have smelled the scent of a human, it might be the missing person mentioned in the intelligence."

Hearing this, the previous boy immediately shouted out.

"Then let’s hurry up and go!"

Saying this, the young boy suddenly dashed out.

"Hey! Itadori...!"

"This is where the special grade Curse Spirit’s domain is!"

The other two were taken aback and didn’t manage to stop him in time.

Admittedly, this boy was running incredibly fast, so fast that he didn’t seem human. With just one sprint and acceleration, he disappeared right in front of his two companions.

"Damn it! That idiot...!"

"If you dare pull me back, I won’t let you off! You jerk!"

The remaining two, though angry, had no choice but to start running quickly.

"Woof!"

A large white dog ran upfront, barking continuously.

The three young Curse Mages ran towards the direction where Reiger was.

...

On the other side, Reiger was leisurely following the Three-legged Bird, navigating through dark alleys, heading toward the core of this domain.

"Negative spiritual power... the curse energy is getting denser."

Feeling the negative force permeating the air, Reiger was quite unaccustomed to it.

This was mainly because the negative spiritual power was very close to the negative energy of the undead, very similar to a real Curse, which made people feel uncomfortable.

For Reiger, who had become accustomed to refining spiritual power into Magic Power, this was somewhat unsettling.

"Hmm?"

As he walked, at a certain moment, Reiger stopped in his tracks.

"Gulp..."

"Squelch..."

At that same time, at the end of the dark alley, shadows wobbled as they approached.

"Has the main attraction appeared?"

Reiger squinted, and after a few seconds, he could clearly see the full appearance of the approaching shadows.

They were a kind of grotesque being Reiger had never seen before.

They varied in size and at first glance, they didn’t seem terrifying but rather had a humorous touch, much like clown toys.

They weren’t as vicious and hideous as monsters, nor as cold and ruthless as ghosts. If it weren’t for the ubiquitous curse energy coiling around them, Reiger would’ve thought they were some mischievous person’s puppet toys.

This group of grotesque beings, or rather distorted monsters, wobbled towards Reiger.

This is...

"Curse Spirit."

Reiger’s eyes glimmered, and he waved his hand, dispelling the Three-legged Bird circling above his head.

"Oooooooh...!"

In the next second, the creatures known as Curse Spirits roared in unison, suddenly accelerating and launching a swift and frightening attack on Reiger.

"Great, now it feels like a monster."

Reiger’s lips curled into a slight smile as he slowly raised his hand, placing it on the hilt of his sword, ready to face the oncoming Curse Spirits.

"Hoo!"

At the moment when Reiger was about to draw his blade, a figure suddenly swept in like a gust of wind from above at high speed.

"Hmm?"

Reiger paused his action of drawing his sword, stunned.

The high-speed figure swooped over Reiger’s head without a word, landing in front of him.

"Oooooooh...!"

A gigantic Curse Spirit, at least two meters tall, happened to pounce over.

Facing the Curse Spirit’s attack, the newcomer neither dodged nor avoided, instead launching a punch.

"Boom!"

With an astonishing thud, the relatively small fist compared to the Curse Spirit’s size unexpectedly erupted with amazing power, blasting away the at least two-meter-tall Curse Spirit.

"————"

The attacking Curse Spirits came to a halt.

"Phew..."

The boy, maintaining the punching posture, turned around to face Reiger.

"Great! Made it in time!"

The boy energetically smiled, giving a big thumbs up to Reiger, as radiant as the sun.

"..."

So, did I just get saved?

This is really... a novel experience.
