Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1266 - 919: Red Blood Manipulation Technique (2)
The one who was born with Six Eyes and could wield the [Infinity Curse Techniques] only succeeded in learning reversed techniques in their teens.
What about Reiger?
Just two months.
This...
"...It seems I need to try harder."
Kamo Noritoshi tried to stay calm and composed, avoiding discouragement.
Though it sounds complicated, Kamo Noritoshi’s entire thought process took merely two or three seconds.
Thus, he didn’t make Reiger wait long and took out a blood pack from his bosom.
"Blood?"
Reiger naturally saw this scene.
"That’s right." Kamo Noritoshi responded to Reiger’s self-talk, saying: "Do you know what the Kamo Family’s techniques are?"
"I’ve heard about it." Reiger answered truthfully, "It seems like techniques related to blood, right?"
Having learned the [Infinity Curse Techniques] of the Gojo Family and the [Ten Shadow Techniques] of the Zenin Family, Reiger was naturally curious about the Kamo Family’s techniques, the last of the Three Great Families.
He was not lacking people around him who were familiar with the Kamo Family, whether Gojo Satoru, Fushiguro Megumi, or even Zenin Maki, all had some understanding of the Kamo Family.
So, Reiger knew a bit about the Kamo Family’s techniques.
"[Red Blood Manipulation]."
Kamo Noritoshi revealed the details of his family’s techniques in front of Reiger.
"This is a hereditary technique of the Kamo Family, possessing the ability to control blood, regarded as a treasure by the Kamo Family."
Upon hearing this, Reiger let out a "Huh".
"Is the technique public?"
In the system of curses, there is a concept called "Binding Vows".
This is an important factor in curses.
"Binding Vows" means "contract".
"Binding Vows" means "balance".
A curse mage can establish a binding vow with themselves or with others, achieving their purpose through paying a certain price.
For instance, Kamo Noritoshi is currently binding himself by publicly revealing his technique.
Openly revealing one’s technique and abilities is ordinarily disadvantageous, but in curses, if this act forms a "binding vow", it could conversely gain advantageous factors.
Through the effect of the "binding vow", Kamo Noritoshi’s technique would be strengthened, and the power of the curse would increase.
This is the nature of binding vows, both exchange and transformation of interests.
Thanks to this, technique revelation in battles is meaningful; many curse mages would choose to reveal their curse to their enemies to strengthen their techniques.
Just like Kamo Noritoshi right now.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Kamo Noritoshi squeezed the blood pack in his hand.
The blood from the pack sprayed out immediately, but instead of scattering around, it gathered in his hand under the control of Kamo Noritoshi’s technique.
Seeing this, Reiger’s surface remained calm, but he had secretly activated the chantless magic—[Lost Truth].
In an instant, an invisible magical glow appeared around Reiger like a transparent lens.
"[Hundredfold Compression·Piercing Blood]!"
Simultaneously, Kamo Noritoshi clapped his hands together, aiming at Reiger, allowing the gathered blood in his hands to form a blood arrow that shot out at an astonishing speed.
That was blood compressed to its limits.
Such compressed and condensed blood arrows, at the moment of ejection, their initial speed had surpassed the speed of sound.
Anyone with insufficient dynamic vision seeing this move would just see a line of blood flash before them, followed by being hit.
Such speed, such kinetic energy, made even Reiger slightly turn his head.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the blood arrow fiercely hit Reiger, exploding in front of him.
This strike compressed to the extreme could easily pierce through even a massive rock; if it hit a human, even the head could be pierced through.
However, under the effect of the [Infinity Curse Techniques], the blood arrow, with its tremendous kinetic energy, didn’t actually hit Reiger but exploded in the "infinite" before him, not even a drop of blood touching him.
"[Red Blood Manipulation·Homing Cleanse]!"
At this moment, Kamo Noritoshi threw out several more blood packs, squeezed them one by one, and gathered the sprayed blood, transforming it into ring-shaped shurikens, shooting towards Reiger overwhelmingly.
This is far more threatening than the arrows from a moment ago.
The reason the arrows could change direction, turn, and alter their trajectory like that earlier was entirely because Kamo Noritoshi had stained them with blood, controlling the blood to thus control the arrows.
Now, he’s directly manipulating blood and infusing it with spell power, making Kamo Noritoshi’s attack naturally much more threatening.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The circular blood shurikens descended like a torrential downpour, exploding on Reiger’s body with such speed that they created the sound of a sonic boom, their power capable of puncturing rock, making the explosion sound akin to an amplified firework, extraordinarily loud.
However, they still could not touch Reiger, only exploding on the "Infinity" around him, seeming extremely close but practically impossible to make contact with him.
Kamo Noritoshi naturally understood this.
Thus, his trump card was still to come.
"[Red Blood Manipulation Technique: Red Bond]!"
Suddenly, the blood that exploded around Reiger began to move.
They seemed to come to life, transforming into ropes formed of condensed blood and wrapping around Reiger.
"This is...?"
Originally standing there, leisurely watching Kamo Noritoshi’s performance, Reiger looked with slight surprise at the blood ropes binding him.
These blood ropes had no oppressive force, no threat whatsoever, yet precisely because of this, they passed through the [Limitless Spell]’s invulnerability, touching him and binding him to the spot.
Due to the lack of oppressive force, this binding likely would last less than a second.
But that’s exactly what Kamo Noritoshi needed.
"Now! Miwa!"
At Kamo Noritoshi’s shout, a figure suddenly flashed before Reiger.
It was Miwa Kasumi, holding a sword.
The blue-haired girl lowered her posture, adopting a stance for a sword drawing strike, her eyes firmly fixed on Reiger as she quietly spoke.
"[New Yin Flow Simple Domain]."
Instantly, a wave of spell power expanded from Miwa Kasumi as the center, spreading within a radius of several meters.
Simultaneously, a surge of spell power gathered into the sword at Miwa Kasumi’s waist.
"[Draw Sword]!"
Miwa Kasumi shouted loudly, suddenly drawing her sword.
It truly was a drawing slash, and a rather swift one at that.
As a master of the drawing slash, Reiger could clearly tell Miwa Kasumi that this move was commendable, and with a direct hit, the outcome was essentially assured.
The question was, could Miwa Kasumi land the strike on Reiger?
The answer... was affirmative. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Swoosh!"
Mere milliseconds after Miwa Kasumi whipped out the sword to strike, the Japanese sword in her hands cut through the invulnerability surrounding Reiger.
Indeed.
This girl broke through the stopping power of the [Limitless Spell].
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of steel resounded abruptly, the Japanese sword that breached the [Limitless Spell] also landed on Reiger.
Or rather, landed on his finger.
"This is quite interesting."
Reiger had somehow freed himself from the blood ropes’ binding, extending a finger to block the incoming sword blade, looking at Miwa Kasumi with interest.
"Is, is this a joke?"
Miwa Kasumi’s initially stern expression turned dumbfounded, her demeanor completely stunned.
"What?"
Kamo Noritoshi’s face also changed, unable to believe his eyes.
The slashing infused with spell power was blocked with a mere finger?
Moreover, it seemed the opponent hadn’t even used spell power to enhance his physical strength?
How... is this possible?
But fact remains fact.
Against Reiger’s durability, comparable to level 9, each grade honed to the extreme in the SSS stage, such half-baked attacks simply couldn’t succeed.
