Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1251 - 911: The Gathering Storm (Part 2)

Although Gojo Satoru was somewhat concerned about Itadori Yuji’s condition, he had no intention of intervening.

As she said, this is something every Curse Mage will face, sooner or later, Itadori Yuji just happened to encounter it.

It would be best if he could get through it, but if not, then it’s something to be observed for now.

After all, Itadori Yuji is a very special individual, isn’t he?

Even Gojo Satoru wouldn’t dare to ignore the changes happening within him, lest something irreversible occur.

Of course, aside from this, Gojo Satoru had something even more concerning.

"This time Yuji and the others brought back some intriguing information. I need to investigate it."

Gojo Satoru said to Reiger.

"I’ll leave things here to you for now, make sure to keep an eye on Yuji for me, don’t let that troublesome character inside him cause any chaos."

Whether out of confidence in Reiger’s strength or trust in him, Gojo Satoru directly handed an unignorable task to Reiger, then quietly slipped away on his own.

"The troublesome character inside, huh..."

Reiger looked at Itadori Yuji who was running ahead of everyone in the sports field with unusually serious eyes.

"I’d like to witness it once..."

...

At the same time, amidst the beautiful scenery of a beachfront, a man dressed as a monk reappeared here.

Only this time, he was not alone; beside him was a young man with dark gray skin, covered in stitches.

Though dressed as a human, the young man was barefoot, and the skin and stitches on his body conveyed to others that he was not a normal human, making the smile on his face look somewhat creepy.

"Luohu! Hanami! Dagon! I’m back!"

The young man called out with an innocent tone and attitude, waving vigorously at the three Curse Spirits sitting under the beach umbrella.

"Mahito." Luohu was the first to turn his head to look at the newcomer, saying, "Back at last?"

The other two Curse Spirits did not speak, silently greeting the one named Mahito.

"Sorry, was I late?" Mahito displayed a smile devoid of any guile, saying, "Don’t blame me, it wasn’t my fault this time, the opponent was too troublesome."

"You mean Sukuna’s vessel?" Luohu gave Mahito a sidelong glance, saying, "I heard you encountered him?"

"Yes, what a coincidence." Mahito spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless, saying, "I originally intended to deploy the ’fingers’ as planned to create an incident that would attract the Curse Mages from the High School, allowing them to retrieve the ’fingers’, but unexpectedly the person sent was actually Sukuna’s vessel. Should I consider it fortune or misfortune?"

"Of course, it’s fortune." Luohu coldly laughed, saying: "Sukuna’s vessel actually came out by himself, in which case, just capture him, and the preliminary preparations for the plan would be complete."

To implement their plan, this monk-like man, the strategist, had provided two prerequisite conditions.

First: Seal the strongest Curse Mage of the current era, Gojo Satoru.

Second: Recruit the Curse King from a thousand years ago, Ryomensukuna, to their side.

Achieving these two goals would greatly increase the probability of their plan’s success.

However, the former had to be reconsidered due to the unexpected appearance of a certain individual. At least, Luohu no longer planned to trouble Gojo Satoru, whereas for the latter, it seemed quite feasible now.

But as Luohu was contemplating this, the monk-like man beside him shook his head.

"The current Itadori Yuji has only consumed two fingers, which limits the power of the Ryomensukuna inside him. Bringing back such a Itadori Yuji offers us little benefit; leaving him at the Curse High School would instead help divert much of the attention focused on him, thereby granting us more opportunities."

The monk-like man spoke with an inscrutable smile.

"There’s no rush with Sukuna; we’ll address the ’fingers’ issue before dealing with him, and even matters concerning Gojo Satoru can be postponed for now. Instead, it’s the information you brought back last time that’s rather intriguing."

As he spoke, the monk-like man slightly opened his perpetually squinting eyes.

"Reiger Brillhaut, a special-grade Curse Involvement, the newly arrived special-grade Curse Mage at the High School. Investigations on him are ongoing, but there’s been no progress, making one wonder if he, like you, is a spontaneously emerged Curse Spirit."

Luohu sneered at the monk-like man’s words.

"If only that were true."

Not only Luohu thought so, but Hanami as well.

"■■■■■■■■■■(That man is very strong. If he were a Curse Spirit and on our side, even if they have Gojo Satoru on the other side, we wouldn’t need to worry anymore.)"

Those who had witnessed that earth-shattering battle in person would harbor such thoughts.

Luohu and Hanami even believed that if they had Reiger, they wouldn’t need to compete for Ryomensukuna’s allegiance.

This showed how much of an impact Reiger had on these two Curse Spirits.

"Is he really that strong?" Mahito was a bit skeptical, asking nonchalantly, "Isn’t he just a human? How strong could he possibly be?"

Luohu wanted to tell Mahito that he had thought the same way before.

So, whether it was Gojo Satoru or Reiger, he hadn’t taken them seriously earlier.

It was only after visiting the Curse High School that he realized the true meaning of being at the summit.

"If I were to compare with Ryomensukuna, what level could I reach?"

Luohu, pondering this, asked the monk-like man in a deep voice.

"You?" The monk-like man first seemed taken aback, then, thinking about it, said, "If it’s you, Luohu, you’d probably be equivalent to Ryomensukuna with eight to nine fingers."

This meant that when Itadori Yuji consumed eight to nine fingers, the Ryomensukuna inside him would be roughly on par with Luohu.

"...If that’s the case, then that man must be at least equivalent to Ryomensukuna with fifteen or sixteen fingers."

Luohu’s words, spoken with a serious expression, made the monk-like man raise his eyebrows.

"So he’s much stronger than you, Luohu? Really?"

Mahito was very surprised.

"It seems we really cannot overlook the threat this person might pose." The monk-like man touched his chin, suddenly saying, "Alright then, during the next operation, I’ll make some arrangements to properly test this special-grade Curse Involvement."

Upon hearing this, both Luohu and Hanami nodded in agreement.

"And what about Itadori Yuji?" Mahito remembered the boy, licking his lips as he asked, "When can we make a move on him?"

"Let’s wait until enough ’fingers’ have been collected to allow Sukuna to awaken freely." The monk-like man replied without hesitation, "Also, the sealing of Gojo Satoru should proceed according to plan."

All the Curse Spirits expressed their understanding immediately.

Seeing this, the monk-like man relaxed and smiled, lying back on a beach chair.

"Reiger Brillhaut, huh?"

The monk continued murmuring.

"If it becomes absolutely necessary, I’ll claim his body myself."

After this silent murmur, the monk closed his eyes.

The sound of waves still fluctuated here, yet it could not dispel the darkness converging at this place.

...

"A Curse Spirit that can converse with humans?"

In the principal’s office of the Curse High School, Yaga Masamichi raised his head.

"Itadori Yuji encountered such a Curse Spirit?"

"That’s right." Gojo Satoru stood before Yaga Masamichi, saying, "The other party seems to have a purpose, connected to Sukuna’s ’fingers’, which makes me uneasy."

"I see." Yaga Masamichi pondered for a moment, then decisively stated, "In that case, I’ll send people out for a thorough investigation, even utilizing all idle ’Windows’ if necessary!"

Gojo Satoru nodded, yet the shadow within his heart did not dissipate.

"I just hope I’m overthinking..."
