Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1304 - 938: Seriously? Again?
"[Red Blood Manipulation]!"
Nanami Kento, Fushiguro Megumi, and Zenin Naobito immediately recognized the technique that Reiger was using at this moment.
"Even the [Red Blood Manipulation] that the Kamoi Family prides itself on, he has obtained it too?"
There was a strange emotion in Zenin Naobito’s eyes.
"The techniques of the three great families... He has obtained them all."
Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi exchanged a glance.
[Limitless Cursed Technique], [Ten Shadow Techniques], [Red Blood Manipulation]... The innate techniques passed down through generations of the three ancient and powerful sorcerer families standing at the pinnacle of the world of sorcery, are now possessed by one individual. This information will surely cause an uproar in the world of sorcery, leaving countless mages in awe, won’t it?
There were quite a few mages present, most of whom were sent by the sorcerer families. After witnessing this scene, they would likely quickly relay the news back.
As such, Reiger, who was already receiving considerable attention from those sorcerer families, would probably garner even more covetousness.
Of course, this also included the extent of Reiger’s mastery over [Red Blood Manipulation].
Unlike Kamo Noritoshi, who could only control small amounts of blood, Reiger effortlessly controlled a massive volume of blood, causing it to gather above his head, gradually forming a round Blood Pool.
If Shalltear Bloodfallen, the Floor Guardian of the Nasalik Underground Tomb, were present, she would surely gasp in surprise upon witnessing this scene, wouldn’t she?
Because this scene looked exactly like her unique ability [Blood Pool].
As a True Ancestor vampire, Shalltear Bloodfallen has a profession known as Bloodthirster.
The Bloodthirster profession grants her a unique ability—[Blood Pool], which has very special effects.
As long as Shalltear Bloodfallen engages in killing, she can draw out the blood of her victims, store it, forming a blood block and use it for various purposes.
She can extract magic power from it, using special skills from the magic enhancement series without consuming MP.
She can also absorb blood to restore HP.
Moreover, she can exacerbate the enemy’s injuries, causing the enemy’s blood to be uncontrollably drawn and turning it into nourishment for her life and magic power.
This unique ability has a wide range of uses and also provided great inspiration to Reiger.
So, over the past month, Reiger has been thoroughly developing [Red Blood Manipulation], eventually coming up with a similar method of application.
The blood gathered above his head could not only be manipulated by him to fight enemies but also refined into curse energy that he could use to activate or enhance the power of his techniques.
The higher the quality of the blood gathered in the Blood Pool, the better the effect.
Reiger once attempted to use Loki’s Divine Blood to create a Blood Pool, and the result was that he extracted an incredibly terrifying amount of curse energy. Due to his curse energy manipulation technique, he nearly lost control of that fearsome power, almost causing it to erupt.
If that curse energy had erupted uncontrollably, it could have turned a large city into ruins in an instant.
Because of this, Reiger had experienced a rare moment of cold sweat and decided not to easily use Divine Blood again.
However, even without Divine Blood, on such an occasion, ordinary blood was already enough and was amazing in its own right.
At least, among the mages present, none had witnessed a user of [Red Blood Manipulation] able to manipulate a vast amount of blood to form a Blood Pool like Reiger.
That blood mass serves as Reiger’s reserve of curse energy and resources. The bigger it gets, the more terrifying the power of Reiger’s [Red Blood Manipulation] becomes.
If there were enough blood, with Reiger’s curse energy manipulation technique, he could likely elevate [Red Blood Manipulation] to an unprecedented level, matching the threats brought by [Limitless Cursed Technique] and [Ten Shadow Techniques]’ final shikigami.
After finishing these tasks, Reiger, ignoring the awe-filled stares of the surrounding sorcerers as if they were witnessing a god, stepped inside the damaged [Curtain].
"... Follow him."
Nanami Kento pushed up his glasses and, after saying a word to Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi, followed Reiger on his own accord.
"Oh, oh..."
Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi finally reacted, nodded instinctively, and then caught up.
The other sorcerers, however, didn’t move at all, standing there looking at each other, unsure whether or not they should follow.
"Family Head, we..."
The sorcerers of the Zenin Family gathered behind Zenin Naobito, whispering.
If there was a phrase to describe them, it would be that they were terrified out of their wits.
Only now did they understand what kind of person they had intended to provoke prior.
This realization filled them with fear and left them at a loss for what to do.
"What an extraordinary young man..."
Zenin Naobito, without paying attention to his anxious clansmen, muttered as he watched Reiger’s figure fade into the distance.
"Though he has a questionable background, one can’t deny that he’s a monster comparable to that kid from the Gojo Family."
"It’s a pity we couldn’t win him over."
"If he could join the Zenin Family, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore."
Zenin Naobito felt quite regretful in his heart.
However, he also understood that with the power Reiger displayed, the Zenin Family probably couldn’t threaten him nor attract him.
The schemers within the family need a good wake-up call, to prevent them from bringing a dreadful enemy upon the family and inviting a disaster of ruin.
"Leave a couple of people to spread the current status outside and let others know the current progress."
Lost in thought, Zenin Naobito began issuing instructions.
"The rest, continue the mission."
"... Understood."
Soon, the sorcerers followed him into the damaged [Curtain].
The real test has only just begun.
...
Upon entering the interior of the second [Curtain], Reiger first noticed one thing.
"There’s actually a third [Curtain]?"
Looking ahead, Reiger spotted yet another [Curtain] appearing in Shibuya.
The coverage area of this [Curtain] was smaller, roughly covering only the city center of Shibuya, yet from its pitch-black exterior, it could be inferred that its level was probably higher than the second [Curtain] that had just been broken.
"Goodness, does the enemy have a Barrier Master or something?"
This series of [Curtains], layer upon layer like Russian nesting dolls, led Reiger to speculate whether there might be a fourth or fifth inside.
Reiger paused, observing, allowing Nanami Kento and the others to catch up from behind.
"Seriously? Another one?"
Itadori Yuji was the first to speak out, looking at another black barrier that appeared, seemingly distressed.
"... Mr. Nanami."
Fushiguro Megumi carefully observed for a moment and then quietly spoke to Nanami Kento.
"I know." Nanami Kento seemed to notice something, his expression solemn. "Theoretically, the enemy shouldn’t have ignored this many layers of [Curtain]."
"These layers of [Curtains], each seem to have a different effect."
"The first [Curtain] is to prevent ordinary people from leaving."
"The second [Curtain] is to hinder entry by sorcerers."
"What is the effect of the third [Curtain]? Is there another [Curtain] inside with a different effect?"
"What exactly is the enemy aiming to achieve by using [Curtains] with different effects?"
The questions raised by Nanami Kento logically should not have answers.
But Reiger spoke calmly.
"For Gojo Satoru."
With Reiger’s statement, Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi immediately realized.
"W-What? What about Mr. Gojo?"
Only Itadori Yuji was flustered.
To this, Reiger simply replied.
"He is likely trapped."
Indeed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Gojo Satoru should be at the deepest layer of these [Curtains].
Because the enemy’s objective was indeed him.
Or more precisely, it was to seal him.
