Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1322 - 947: Nullified Slashes_2

Accompanied by a ripple of shockwave, Sukuna shot towards the ground like a cannonball, crashing onto the water’s surface with a loud bang, causing a splash of blood that surged high.

"Swish!"

Before the water droplets could disperse, Reiger abruptly appeared at the spot where Sukuna landed, suspended in the air, and raised his foot high, bringing his heel down like a battle axe.

"Boom!"

The rumbling sound echoed once more, as the water splashed explosively to all sides, creating waves that resembled the rising and falling of a turbulent sea.

"Splash..."

The blood rain fell like a shower, enveloping the only two figures left standing in the domain.

"It seems there’s indeed a reason you’re called the Curse King."

Reiger spoke mildly, neither warm nor cold, as if addressing an insignificant person.

"...Don’t get cocky, brat."

Sukuna glared coldly at Reiger with his red eyes.

One of his raised hands steadfastly blocked Reiger’s heavy heel strike.

In the next moment, both figures disappeared from where they stood.

"Boom!"

Like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the domain’s sky, the two figures suddenly appeared, their bodies surging with cursed energy, as they hurled punches at each other, their fists colliding heavily.

The shockwave expanded outward from their clashing fists, making the water’s reflection below churn violently once again.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!"

The fierce battle broke out instantly, with attacks brimming with cursed energy emanating from both Reiger and Sukuna, creating sonic booms that tore through the air and colliding repeatedly, generating successive shockwaves.

Both continued to throw punches at one another, with cursed energy infused fist shadows flying incessantly, like a sudden storm.

However, what seemed like a fierce battle was, in reality, entirely one-sided.

There was no helping it, as Sukuna’s punches simply could not connect with Reiger, no matter how fierce or powerful they were, unable to break through the invincibility of the [Limitless Curse Technique].

The technique applied within the domain ensured that all techniques were certain to hit, but if they weren’t, no matter how violent the attack, they wouldn’t necessarily be a sure hit.

Thus, at first glance, Sukuna seemed to be wasting his efforts, though he would occasionally mix slashes into his punches, suddenly striking from all directions or slicing through Reiger’s blind spots, causing him repeated cuts.

For this, Reiger turned a blind eye to Sukuna’s slashes, repeatedly activating the chant-less [Radiant Golden Red Body] to increase resistance to slashes, nullifying Sukuna’s attacks, making his expression increasingly dark.

Amidst such conditions, Reiger continued his assault on Sukuna with undivided focus, his fists infused with cursed energy occasionally clashing against him, and then suddenly accelerating, striking Sukuna’s body and generating muffled thuds.

If not for his body being strengthened by cursed energy and healing from the reversed technique, Sukuna might already have been pummeled to death by Reiger’s fists.

"Bang!"

Yet another of Reiger’s punches landed on Sukuna’s body, this time hitting his face, sending him flying back, crashing to the ground, causing a large splash of blood.

"Tch!"

Sukuna wiped the blood from his mouth with his fist, activating the inverted technique to heal his injuries, his face finally turning grim.

"And then?" Reiger stood facing Sukuna, looking at him directly, expressionless as he said, "Did you seize Itadori’s body and come all the way here just to let me beat you up?"

"I didn’t know the renowned Ryomensukuna, who instills fear into so many Curse Mages, had such a hobby."

"But if you didn’t, then do you seriously think, with your current power, you can do anything to me?"

Reiger’s voice was calm yet full of aggression.

"At this level, even Gojo Satoru could handle it. Do you think I’m weaker than Gojo Satoru?"

"Then you’re going to be disappointed."

Saying so, Reiger extended a finger towards Sukuna.

"[Jutsushiki hanten Aka]."

Extreme repulsive force instantly gathered at Reiger’s fingertip, converging to a point under intense focus, emitting a red light capable of engulfing the world.

"Boom!!!"

The red light shot forth, like a light cannon composed of repulsive force, lifting endless water curtains along its path and creating countless splashes as it surged towards Sukuna.

"[Eighth]!"

Sukuna immediately formed the Demon-suppressing Seal, launching a seemingly unremarkable slash at the approaching, miniature supernova-like red dot.

"Splurch!"

A surprising scene unfolded.

The unremarkable slash effortlessly cut through Reiger’s [Aka], causing the red dot to dissipate.

"Hmm?"

Reiger raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"[Eighth·Spider’s Web]!"

Sukuna kept a cold face, formed another hand seal, and unleashed countless slashes at Reiger.

These slashes formed the shape of a spider’s web, creating a network that enveloped Reiger’s entire body.

"Splat!" "Splat!" "Splat!"...

The slashes landed on Reiger, clearly cutting into his body, yet they did not cause harm and were withstood by him.

"As expected, it’s useless?"

Sukuna clicked his tongue.

His slashes were usually divided into two types.

One was a normal slash, named [Kai].

The other was a slash that could definitely cut the target depending on the difference in cursed energy, named [Eighth].

The former required no further explanation, but as for the latter, it was a one-hit-kill ace, regardless of how strong the enemy’s defense was or how troublesome their ability was, they would inevitably be cut.

In other words, it was an unavoidable lethal move, and in a domain, it became an unstoppable and unavoidable killing move. If the attack range was large enough, even a mountain could be cut by Sukuna.

Unfortunately, even the supposedly surefire [Eighth] was useless against Reiger.

First, Reiger’s cursed energy was no less than Sukuna’s, perhaps even surpassing him currently. Sukuna’s idea of cutting him with [Eighth] due to the energy difference was nothing but a pipe dream.

Second, Reiger neither defended nor dodged, indeed getting hit by Sukuna’s [Eighth], but with the [Radiant Golden Red Body] on him, no matter how strong Sukuna’s slashing ability was, the damage was nullified.

In short, Sukuna’s slashes indeed broke through the defense and indeed hit, but they still couldn’t make Reiger bleed.

The damage from the slashes was zero, so no matter how many times he was struck, it wouldn’t cause harm.

"But, he also can’t resolve me."

Sukuna thought silently in his mind.

"I can use the reversed technique to heal the wounds on my body countless times. As long as my cursed power doesn’t run out, he can’t resolve me."

This was indeed true.

Because that body belonged to Itadori Yuji, Sukuna merely occupied the soul of that body and was not an evil entity like a Curse Spirit, so Reiger’s special abilities were ineffective against Sukuna, unable to hinder his regeneration and healing.

Thus, regardless of how many times Reiger could harm Sukuna, Sukuna could heal himself and continue to fight.

The situation was unfavorable, but it hadn’t reached the point of inevitable loss.

This was Sukuna’s thought.

However...

"It seems like you think I can’t resolve you, right?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Reiger’s words, as if he had seen through Sukuna’s thoughts, made Sukuna’s pupils shrink.

"Swoosh!"

Reiger’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Sukuna.

"Such an arrogant thought is the true arrogance, Ryomensukuna."

As he finished speaking, Reiger reached out toward Ryomensukuna’s chest.

"—!"

In that moment, Ryomensukuna remembered.

The man before him had means to target the soul.

Didn’t he just use it not long ago?

[Soul Transformation].

"...!"

Without thinking, Sukuna prepared to retreat violently.

"[Do not move.]"

But with just one sentence, Reiger’s words, carrying an inexplicable cursed energy fluctuation, became reality and bound him.

"[Cursed Speech]!"

Ryomensukuna’s pupils constricted even smaller.

He knew Reiger could use the [Cursed Speech] technique, but [Cursed Speech] depended on the energy and power difference to determine its effectiveness. If used against someone too powerful, with too strong a cursed power, it would only harm oneself.

Yet Reiger used it effortlessly.

His cursed energy surpassed even Ryomensukuna’s imagination.

"Tap..."

Just like that, Reiger’s hand lightly placed on Sukuna’s chest.

"[Soul Transformation]."

The power to alter the soul surged into Sukuna’s body.
