Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1298 - 935: Perfect, I’ll Use It to Test My Blade (Part 2)
Curse Mages and Curse Masters.
Curse Spirits and humans.
A variety of people, with a variety of ideas and a variety of stances.
In this dark [barrier] that descends like black mud, what actions will these individuals take, and what changes will they bring? Everything remains unknown.
Without paying attention to Nanami Kento, Itadori Yuji, and the others, Reiger turned his head and looked at that pitch-black [barrier].
"Leave that [barrier] to me."
Reiger no longer engaged in the discussion among the group but instead lightly stated this.
The crowd immediately turned their gaze towards Reiger.
"Do you have a solution?" Nanami Kento looked directly at Reiger and said, "The level of that [barrier] is very high, much stronger than the one that appeared at the Jujutsu High before and the one covering Shibuya. I’m afraid even Mr. Gojo couldn’t break it in a short time."
"If its level is so high, it’s highly likely that it involves cursed objects and bindings," Fushiguro Megumi frowned and said, "Using cursed objects to enhance the [barrier]’s hardness, or using specific bindings to increase the [barrier]’s strength, these are things that can be done, right?"
The enemy’s barrier technique level is very high, and they had once attacked the Jujutsu High’s Curse Storage, stealing many high-risk cursed objects. If they’ve also set up some kind of binding to enhance the barrier’s strength, making it unbreakable until now, it would be quite normal.
Under such circumstances, the success rate of forceful methods is very low, at least Fushiguro Megumi doesn’t think anyone can break that [barrier] by brute force.
To this, Reiger only had one thing to say.
"No problem."
He lightly smiled and said.
"Perfect, I’ll use this to test my skills."
...
"Whoosh!"
In the sound of a sharp wind, Reiger, along with Itadori Yuji and the others, appeared in front of the pitch-black [barrier].
"Wow, that was fast!"
Itadori Yuji only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a strong force of inertia hit his body, and suddenly he was in front of the [barrier], giving him a big shock.
"...An extended use of [Blue]?"
Nanami Kento gave Reiger a deep look, silently contemplating in his heart.
"Sure enough, the level of this [barrier] is very high."
On the contrary, Fushiguro Megumi was the first to react, gazing at the towering [barrier] in front of them, looking serious.
Kiyotaka Ijichi was not present.
As an assistant supervisor with no combat capability, even if he went to the center of the battlefield, he would only be a liability. Therefore, he had already left the [barrier] covering Shibuya to handle communications outside.
Within the [barrier], there was no signal, no way to communicate. To contact others or receive others’ communications and obtain new information, Kiyotaka Ijichi had to go outside.
So, present were only Reiger, Nanami Kento, Itadori Yuji, and Fushiguro Megumi.
However, they weren’t the only ones on this side of the [barrier].
At some distance, inside buildings and in alleyways, there were individuals holding cursed tools or wearing unusual clothing, carefully observing the [barrier]’s situation here.
They are Curse Mages.
The sudden appearance of Reiger and his group of four first raised their vigilance, and then left them stunned.
"Are they from Jujutsu High?"
"There’s someone wearing a white uniform."
"Which means..."
"Is he Reiger Brillhaut?"
At this moment, all sorts of gazes were cast upon Reiger.
Among these gazes, some were merely curious, some were scrutinizing, and some were filled with hostility, suffused with inexplicable malice, making them discomforting.
"What’s wrong?"
Itadori Yuji’s senses were the sharpest, noticing those gazes with different emotions, he seemed a bit puzzled.
Fushiguro Megumi and Nanami Kento’s faces darkened slightly, seemingly understanding something, but said nothing.
Reiger glanced at these gazes coming from all directions, then retracted his gaze, treating them as if they were nothing.
But just as he was about to head towards the [barrier], a group of people appeared in front of him.
"Kid, you’re Reiger Brillhaut, right?"
It was an elderly man who asked this.
The elder had long, thin eyebrows and a pair of long mustaches similar to an English-style beard. He wore a light-colored haori over a dark yukata and paired them with tabi and geta, exuding a style from the Showa era, but he had his white hair slicked back, imparting an air of unruly freedom.
Behind this impressive elder were Curse Mages with slightly fierce and arrogant demeanors.
They looked at Reiger with an air of superiority, making them even more discomforting than the previous gazes.
Seeing this group, Reiger halted his step, maintaining a face without expression.
"...Is it you?"
Fushiguro Megumi spoke on behalf of Reiger, his expression somewhat grave.
"Who, who is that?"
Itadori Yuji still wore a look of confusion.
Unable to watch any longer, Nanami Kento spoke up from the side.
"Zenin Naobito, the current head of the Zenin Family, a Special Grade Curse Mage."
The so-called Special Grade Curse Mage refers to those not involved with Jujutsu High but who have first-grade Curse Mage level strength.
As the head of the Zenin Family, one of the three major families, Zenin Naobito obviously doesn’t need a rank as a Curse Mage for tasks outside, so he doesn’t have a Jujutsu Mage rank.
However, he possesses strength comparable to a first-grade jujutsu mage, and sometimes acts externally as a Curse Mage.
This type of existence is known as a Special Grade Curse Mage. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Zenin Family?"
Itadori Yuji couldn’t help but look at Fushiguro Megumi.
Fushiguro Megumi didn’t look at Itadori Yuji, keeping a cautious eye on Zenin Naobito.
But Zenin Naobito paid no attention to Fushiguro Megumi, a genius inheriting the family’s [Ten Shadow Techniques]. With one hand tucked in his kimono, his eyes only reflected Reiger’s figure.
"I heard you learned our family’s technique and even tamed the Divine General with the Cursed Tool Eight-Handled Sword Yata Mirror?"
Just this one sentence fully revealed Zenin Naobito’s intentions.
Meanwhile, behind Zenin Naobito, those Curse Mages, clearly from the Zenin Family as well, looked at Reiger with either disdain, contempt, or jealousy, and the malice they exuded was evident to see.
"Do you have any matters to discuss?"
Reiger paid no mind to those foolish individuals, nor did he pay attention to Zenin Naobito, speaking indifferently.
"If it’s not something important, could you please step aside? I have matters to attend to."
Hearing this, Zenin Naobito laughed heartily.
"What? Isn’t our Zenin Family’s [Ten Shadow Techniques] an important matter? Isn’t it worth talking to me about?"
This head of the Zenin Family, unlike those behind him, lacked malicious intent in behavior, matching his air of nonchalance.
"If on another occasion, I wouldn’t mind chatting," Reiger lifted his eyelids, glancing at Zenin Naobito, then continued, "But right now, there may be 200,000 people waiting for us inside to be saved. Are you sure you want to discuss this matter now?"
Upon saying this, before Zenin Naobito could respond, those Curse Mages from the Zenin Family behind him couldn’t sit still.
"Are you comparing our Zenin Family affairs with a group of ordinary people?"
"Our family’s generational techniques cannot be desecrated by outsiders."
"With the head present, you’d best mind your attitude."
"Suspicious Special Grade Curse Involvement, are you questioning our actions?"
This outburst vividly showcased the arrogance and decay of the major families.
Of course, these people might just be seizing an opportunity to pick a fight.
They seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and someone had already taken out a cursed tool, ready to act without saying a word.
The [Ten Shadow Techniques] hold an unusual position in the Zenin Family, with significant symbolic meaning.
Now not only mastered by an outsider, but even the final Shikigami that had never been tamed in history were subdued. How could the Zenin Family not have certain thoughts?
However...
"[Stop, please]."
