Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1302 - 937: Is That... [Black Flash]? (2)

Perhaps not every technique is useful against him. Like those two Curse Masters before; one had the technique of invisibility, and the other had the technique of body substitution, both held no value to Reiger.

Yet, there are techniques that are indeed valuable. Some seemed insignificant at first glance, but their effects made Reiger’s eyes light up.

So, no matter what, remembering them is surely the right move.

During this process, some Curse Masters attempted to strike the motionless Reiger, but either they were repelled by the black hound roaming around Reiger, or they were stopped in their tracks by the inviolable [Limitless Curse Technique], unable to harm him.

"Monster...!"

A Curse Master who couldn’t touch Reiger no matter how hard he tried, broke down on the spot and roared angrily at Reiger.

What greeted him was a specially delivered shot of [Red] from Reiger.

"Boom!!!"

In a flash of red light, the Curse Master struck by the concentrated [Red] was instantly swallowed by the incredible repulsive force, propelled along the way, overturning roads, kicking up dust, crashing into several buildings before finally being buried under rubble, life or death unknown.

The unfortunate Curse Masters caught in it also instantly disappeared, as if swallowed by a storm of impact, leaving only deep grooves on the ground.

"Gulp..."

Seeing the groove at least ten meters in diameter, which had overturned and toppled buildings on either side of the road, several Curse Mages who previously eyed Reiger with malice and hostility gulped uncontrollably.

Especially those from the Zenin Family, whose legs couldn’t help but tremble.

"[Limitless Curse Technique] huh..."

Zenin Naobito, fighting and noticing this scene, pondered something while sighing.

"...This time, perhaps we finally have an outstanding junior who can rival Mr. Gojo."

Nanami Kento, clearly aware of what Gojo Satoru had been anticipating, whispered softly after casually slashing away a charging Curse Master.

"Still as powerful as ever, Reiger."

Itadori Yuji, holding two Curse Masters under his arms and locking them into chokes until they foamed from the mouth, grinned.

As for Fushiguro Megumi...

Well, he’s long accustomed to it.

It’s just the basic operation, right?

...

For the first time since the incident in Shibuya, the battle started to turn in favor of the Curse Mages.

Previously, it was the sudden attacks from the Curse Masters that caused significant casualties among the Curse Mages, but this time, finally gaining an advantage, the Curse Mages were extra motivated, striking mercilessly, defeating the Curse Masters one after another.

Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Nanami Kento, and Zenin Naobito were particularly active, defeating more Curse Masters than anyone else.

Seeing that the situation had settled, Reiger stopped observing and turned towards the [Barrier].

He reached out and touched the pitch-black barrier before him.

As Kiyotaka Ijichi said, this [Barrier] differs from the one covering Shibuya outside. It’s specifically meant to hinder Curse Mages.

Reiger could easily pass through the [Barrier] covering Shibuya, but the [Barrier] before him stopped his hand, touching the barrier yet unable to pass through.

"A teleportation magic should allow me in, right?"

Reiger felt as much.

The [Barrier] before him seemed unable to obstruct spatial transfers.

Of course, even if it could, it wouldn’t matter.

"[High-Level Tool Creation]."

Reiger activated his magic, crafting in his hand a black blade with performance closely matching first-grade armaments.

"What does he intend to do?"

Noticing this, several Curse Mages cast curious glances.

"Is he planning to destroy that [Barrier]?"

Zenin Naobito furrowed his brow.

The [Barrier] that hindered the entry of Curse Mages was of an exceedingly high level, seemingly reinforced through cursed items and bindings. Although many Curse Mages gathered here, none could break through the barrier, leading Zenin Naobito to conclude it couldn’t be shattered through brute force, even if Gojo Satoru was here.

In such circumstances, could that kid really plan to cut through the [Barrier] with a knife created through a technique?

Is he really that reckless?

As Zenin Naobito mused about this, and the others shared similar thoughts, a scene that made their pupils contract sharply unfolded.

"Crackle——"

Black and red lightning began to appear on the black blade in Reiger’s hand, distorting the space around the blade.

"Is that...[Black Flash]?"

Nanami Kento, Fushiguro Megumi, and others recognized the phenomenon.

"Reiger can use [Black Flash] too?"

Itadori Yuji blinked in surprise.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with [Black Flash].

Because it was a technique Nanami Kento wanted to teach him as well.

Months ago, Itadori Yuji was still an ordinary person clueless about refining curse power. Without an innate technique, he couldn’t use curses like other mages, unable even to perform simple barrier or shikigami techniques.

For someone like him, beyond teaching him how to refine and utilize curse power, Nanami Kento also intended to have him master [Black Flash].

"The experience of using [Black Flash] is extremely important for a Curse Mage."

"Having successfully used [Black Flash] once allows any, no matter how clumsy, Curse Mage to grasp the essence of curse power, drawing closer to the core of magic."

"Itadori, frankly, you’re the clumsiest of Curse Mages. Beyond your innate physical prowess, you can’t do much else."

"But even so, if you can successfully perform [Black Flash] just once, you’ll significantly grow stronger, surpassing most Curse Mages."

This was what Nanami Kento once told Itadori Yuji.

And then... Itadori Yuji successfully performed [Black Flash] once.

It was during the encounter with Mahito, a gruelling battle where Itadori Yuji successfully delivered a fierce strike using [Black Flash] that left a lasting impression on Mahito.

In a matter of months, he transformed from a novice who couldn’t even refine curse power into someone capable of easily defeating a fair number of Curse Masters. One major reason was having once used [Black Flash].

Therefore, Itadori Yuji wasn’t unfamiliar with [Black Flash].

But precisely because he wasn’t a stranger to it, Itadori Yuji found it odd.

He found it odd that Reiger’s [Black Flash] seemed different from what he remembered.

He found it odd that Reiger could manifest [Black Flash] through a blade.

And a more unusual sight was about to unfold the next second.

"Puff!"

Reiger abruptly thrust the blade, flickering with black and red lightning, into the [Barrier] before him.

Yes.

He pierced through the [Barrier] effortlessly, a barrier that rendered all Curse Mages helpless.

Amidst the contracting pupils of everyone, Reiger pulled the black blade from the [Barrier].

Then—— 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Inhale——Exhale——"

Amid the rhythmic breathing, the air around Reiger grew chillingly cold.

"Moon Breathing, Seventh Form..."

Roaring blade winds entwined the black blade Reiger held sideways, slashing forth with a single stroke.

"Dismal Reflection - Moon Reflection!"

Countless crescent moons suddenly appeared.

Five streams of blade wind under the slash of the black blade rapidly expanded into massive shockwaves, traversing the ground and overturning everything on it.

The massive shock blade wind surged forward, quickly climbing the surface of the [Barrier], slashing across the entire pitch-black shield like a gigantic claw.

"Bang!"

Before long, the pitch-black shield shattered with a bang, exploding on the spot.
