Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1267 - 920: Techniques of the Big Three Families
"The technique you just used is quite interesting."
Staring at Miwa Kasumi, who was dumbfoundedly looking at him, Reiger maintained his gesture of extending a finger to block the blade of the katana, not at all like someone who had just been slashed. Instead, he spoke as if conducting academic research.
"Is it called [Simple Domain]? Does it have anything to do with domains?"
If it’s a technique related to the ultimate sorcery — domains — then breaking the invincibility of the [Limitless Sorcery] isn’t something to be surprised about.
At least, domains have the effect of invalidating the invincibility of [Limitless Sorcery], but curse mages who can master domains are exceedingly rare in the world of sorcery. Not even many Grade 1 curse mages can do it, and of the curse mages Reiger knows, only Gojo Satoru can do domain expansion.
The domain referred to here is the true domain, not the unfinished domain of the pseudo-special grade Curse Spirit from before.
A true domain possesses incredible power, and those who can expand it are on a completely different level compared to those who cannot. The latter basically cannot be compared to the former.
If any Grade 1 curse mage can expand a domain, they could have the power to contend against special grade curse mages.
This is also the domain that Reiger has not had the chance to study, thus he also cannot do domain expansion.
Miwa Kasumi doesn’t seem like a strong curse mage capable of domain expansion, but this [Simple Domain] is undoubtedly connected to domains, seemingly possessing a portion of the true domain’s power.
"New Shadow Style? What kind of style is this?"
Reiger continued to inquire, making Miwa Kasumi seem somewhat at a loss.
"Whish!"
Suddenly, Kamo Noritoshi abruptly appeared behind Reiger.
"[Crimson Leap]!"
A crimson blood mark appeared around one of his eyes, making it look quite sinister as if it were bloodshot. A faint aura of blood surrounded him, while his hands were infused with curse energy that flowed like the Flowing Flames, striking towards Reiger’s back with a palm force like a surging tidal wave.
"Bang!"
Reiger raised his other arm, turning his body to block this powerful palm, causing a shockwave to explode like a gust of wind, creating a dull explosive sound.
Despite being the one initiating the power burst, Kamo Noritoshi failed to repel Reiger. Instead, it was like hitting a mountain, causing him to stagger backward over ten meters from the rebounding force.
In contrast, Reiger stood there completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened.
"Ha!"
Seeing Kamo Noritoshi forced to retreat, Miwa Kasumi quickly suppressed the astonishment in her heart, shouting grandly as she swung her sword to slash again.
Steadying himself, Kamo Noritoshi also charged forward, curse energy surging through his body as he launched a fierce offensive towards Reiger.
For a moment, a fierce hand-to-hand combat erupted in this corner of the forest.
Kamo Noritoshi and Miwa Kasumi attacked Reiger together, one using palms like muffled thunder, mixed with punches and kicks, attacking Reiger wildly amidst the howling wind sounds, while the other swung a sword violently, raising sharp sword lights to slice at Reiger’s entire body.
The combination of fist winds and sword lights created a dazzling mix, making it difficult to cope even for a Grade 1 curse mage proficient in close combat.
Only Reiger remained composed, sometimes raising his hands to block, sometimes sidestepping to dodge, easily defusing the ferocious combined attack of Kamo Noritoshi and Miwa Kasumi.
"This won’t work, Miwa."
Just as Kamo Noritoshi and Miwa Kasumi felt anxious for failing to take down Reiger for so long, Reiger suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?"
Being suddenly called out, Miwa Kasumi almost froze there.
Finally, Reiger moved, suddenly appearing in front of Miwa Kasumi, snatching the sword and scabbard from her waist.
"Your swordsmanship is not bad."
Reiger’s voice reached Miwa Kasumi’s ears.
"But a true sword should be used like this."
With that, Reiger sheathed Miwa Kasumi’s sword and placed it at his waist.
"————"
At that moment, a sense of dread exploded in the hearts of Kamo Noritoshi and Miwa Kasumi.
"Miwa!"
Kamo Noritoshi shouted, leaping forward intending to rescue her.
Miwa Kasumi stood there dumbfounded, unable to move.
The sense of fear in her heart intensified.
Her body trembled instinctively.
Yet at this moment, Miwa Kasumi could not move or look away, not merely because of the palpable sense of dread Reiger exuded at that moment, but also because Reiger’s actions deeply captivated her attention.
Reiger lowered his body slightly, one hand gripping the sword hilt at his waist.
Then... draw the sword!
"Clang!"
As the crisp and pleasant sound of the sword’s unsheathing echoed, a brilliant sword light suddenly appeared in the forest.
Cold!
Sharp!
"Boom!"
Along with the roaring sound, wherever the sword light passed, trees were severed at their waists, crashing down in response.
This slash extended for several hundred meters, cutting down all the trees within a radius of several hundred meters before it finally dissipated.
"Ka..."
Amidst the booming sound of falling trees, the scraping sound of the blade returning to its sheath was particularly distinct.
"This is the true drawing slash."
Reiger, as if having done something trivial, smiled slightly at Miwa Kasumi in front of him.
"Consider it a reward for showing me something interesting."
With that, Reiger tossed the sword back to Miwa Kasumi.
