Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1294 - 933: Visions for the Future (Part 2)
"And the Breath of the Sun, if it were to incorporate the attributes of [Dimensional Slash], wouldn’t each slash of fire be able to burn through space?"
"By then, [Blossom] could also reach new heights, becoming even more terrifying, right?"
"What about the Breath of Thunder? How should it be integrated?"
Reiger was constantly pondering.
The Breath of Sun, Moon, Thunder... These three breath techniques had already become Reiger’s primary close-combat sword techniques, and all other styles had long been abandoned by Reiger.
As Reiger grew stronger, his understanding and application of sword techniques became more astonishing, with the three primary breath sword techniques subtly breaking free from their original confines and stepping into a brand new realm.
In the Demon Slayer World, breath techniques were originally just a method for demon-hunting swordsmen to acquire body abilities that rivaled demons, to bridge the physical gap between humans and demons.
Breath sword techniques were merely the various combat skills derived from breath techniques, not involving any real mystery.
It wasn’t until Reiger mastered the Breath techniques, grasped the Breath of the Sun, and transformed its refinement that the breath techniques in his hands showcased a hint of the mysterious.
At the very least, Tsukiguni Yoriichi in his lifetime would never have been able to, like Reiger, use the Breath of the Sun to release high temperatures capable of creating supernatural phenomena and burning everything.
The same went for users of the Breath of Thunder. It’s normal for their slashes to cause thunderous effects—those are purely physical phenomena. What they strike might superficially seem hit by lightning, yet they leave only lightning-like marks or wounds. How could they, like Reiger now, have lightning burst forth between breaths, with lightning bolts strong enough to sweep around, exploding everything like thunderbolts?
This was because Reiger gradually infused his own Magic Power into the breath techniques, using the breath techniques to unlock the potential of his Magic Power-possessing body, forming such phenomena.
Therefore, in Reiger’s hands, the breath techniques had long since felt completely different.
It can be said, at this point, it’s no longer the breath techniques accomplishing Reiger, but Reiger accomplishing the breath techniques.
There’s nothing to be done; the breath techniques can no longer enhance Reiger’s physique as they once did, even the transformed Breath of the Sun is like this.
Now, when Reiger uses breath techniques, he’s just performing the corresponding sword techniques, unlike other breath technique swordsmen who use them to enhance physical capabilities and combat power.
Using the Breath of Thunder sword technique is simply for explosive power and speed.
Using the Breath of the Moon sword technique is to increase attack speed and range.
Using the Breath of the Sun sword technique is to purify malevolent spirits and impede the specific enemies’ regeneration abilities.
That’s why Reiger’s close combat abilities have always been unable to catch up with his magic abilities.
His magic abilities continuously grew stronger as Reiger learned more magic, with his "Magic Power," "Magic Starta," and "Magic Invocation" improving, not to mention with the aid of magical tools and Ancient Secret Treasures.
Close combat abilities could only grow with basic abilities, and although they also became stronger, they still couldn’t catch up with his magical abilities.
However, the appearance of the Curse Power system allowed Reiger to find a way to rapidly enhance his close combat abilities.
The stronger the Curse Power, the more pronounced the enhancement of body and senses, and combined with various curse techniques, how could his close combat abilities not improve? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Not to mention, simply speaking, the [Infinite Void Curse Technique]’s impenetrability, with this impenetrability, when Reiger engages in close combat with an enemy, what could the enemy do aside from taking hits?
What’s worth noting is that curse techniques aren’t like magic; they have no targeted means in other worlds.
Reiger also has defensive magic to nullify enemy attacks, but in other worlds, there are ways to suppress and nullify magic spells.
In the worlds Reiger has visited so far, the prevalence of magic is extremely high, so much so that the means to counter it are mature and have already formed a system.
Curse techniques are different.
At least, on the continent of Akasha, there’s no such power as curse techniques or Curse Power.
Without this power, there are no corresponding countermeasures.
No one has researched methods of curbing it, which will make Reiger’s curse techniques a formidable power in other worlds.
As we all know, entities without natural predators are the ones that can truly grow strong.
For this reason, Reiger held great expectations for the curse technique system, so much so that he was utterly eager to absorb knowledge and abilities in the realm of curse techniques.
With Curse Power and curse techniques, Reiger finally surpassed his magic abilities in close-combat capabilities.
"Alright, next I’ll start pondering this topic, striving to incorporate [Dimensional Slash] into the breath technique sword skills."
This constant experimentation, constant contemplation, and constant strengthening was, frankly speaking, a satisfaction for Reiger.
Keep in mind that he sought growth, strength, and more freedom to escape a numb life.
The one thing he never lacked was ambition, which is why the Loki Familia comrades found him reckless, even scarier than Ais.
To grow, to be stronger, he dared to take any risk, entirely fearless of injury or even death.
Of course, in essence, Reiger liked thrills and adventure, which is the fundamental reason, after all.
"Brilliant-kun!"
Just as Reiger was about to attempt combining breath technique sword skills and [Dimensional Slash], the voice of Shinseki Kikyo rang out.
Wearing a suit couldn’t hide the graceful Yamato Nadeshiko temperament; the assistant supervisor came out of the suite in a slightly hurried pace, ignoring the rain, approaching Reiger.
"What’s the matter?"
Seeing Shinseki Kikyo’s solemn expression, Reiger immediately sensed that something significant had happened.
Sure enough...
"Just now, our ’window’ detected a super large [Domain] appearing."
Shinseki Kikyo spoke gravely.
"And before the [Domain] arose, we sensed incredible Curse Power and intense gravitational presence, and thousands of Curse Spirits were summoned."
Reiger naturally wouldn’t miss the amount of information in these words.
"...Incredible gravitational presence and thousands of Curse Spirits?"
Reiger narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." Shinseki Kikyo maintained her grave expression, saying seriously: "It’s speculated that it could be the power of [Infinite Void Curse Technique] and [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique]."
"If nothing unexpected occurred, we might have discovered traces of Mr. Gojo."
"But the bad news is, we might also have uncovered the reappearance of a powerful Curse Master thought to be long dead."
"Within that suddenly arisen [Domain], there is undoubtedly a top-level curse technique battle ongoing."
"And we... have yet to see the result of this curse technique battle."
What does this imply?
It implies the current strongest Curse Mage, Gojo Satoru, surprisingly hasn’t smoothly resolved his opponent.
"The Curse Technique High has already dispatched all available Curse Mages there."
"Curse Mage families led by the Three Great Families have also mobilized."
"Dozens, hundreds of Curse Mages are about to head to the destination together."
"Brilliant-kun, you also need to set out quickly."
Upon hearing this, Reiger silently released the black blade in his hand, turned around, and looked at Shinseki Kikyo.
"Location?"
For this question, Shinseki Kikyo responded with exceptional seriousness.
"Shibuya."
...
Shibuya.
This is a significant district located within Tokyo.
Being a special administrative area and housing many famous attractions, it is considered a must-visit tourist destination in Tokyo, with a population of more than two hundred thousand and an overwhelming daily flow of people.
But today, it has turned into a den of magic.
"Swish!"
Reiger’s figure suddenly appeared here, standing in midair like a flat surface, overlooking below.
What entered his sight wasn’t a bustling district, but a layer of black swamp-like [Domain] covering the ground.
Reiger immediately confirmed that the level of this [Domain] was much higher than the one that appeared in the Curse Technique High.
"Looks like something really happened."
