Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1340 - 956: After All, You Two Are a Pure Love Couple (Part 2)
"In the past few months, whenever Teacher Gojo contacts me, he always mentions you, saying you surprised him a lot, even more promising than I am." Okkotsu Yuta expressed a friendly smile at Reiger, showing no sign of hostility, saying: "Zenin Maki, Inumaki, and Panda often mention you, saying they’ve received your care."
"You seem to have specifically helped them with special training before the sister school exchange event in the Capital City, right?"
"Thanks to you, Maki and the others have said they became much stronger, very grateful indeed."
With that, Okkotsu Yuta bowed deeply to Reiger, displaying a sincere attitude, clearly showing how grateful he was.
This illustrates, despite being a special-grade Curse Mage, Okkotsu Yuta values Zenin Maki and others even with significant disparity in strength, considering them important.
"There’s no need to thank me." Reiger looked at Okkotsu Yuta and said: "It’s because Gojo asked me to help with their special training, that I did it."
"Although unreliable, that unconventional teacher guided me, so when he asks something in return, naturally, I should respond."
"It’s like a fair trade; if you’re going to thank someone, thank Gojo instead."
Upon hearing this, a shadow flickered across Okkotsu Yuta’s eyes.
Evidently, he was reminded of Gojo Satoru’s current situation.
"Geto Suguru... I didn’t expect him to still be alive and even seal Teacher Gojo within the Prison Gate Border."
Having numerous ties with this special-grade Curse Master, Okkotsu Yuta seemed to have complex feelings.
But now wasn’t the time to discuss this, so Okkotsu Yuta quickly adjusted his mood.
"No matter the case, still thanks for helping Maki and the others; though being special-grade myself, I couldn’t aid them to become stronger like you did, instead they helped me a lot when I was weaker." Okkotsu Yuta offered thanks again while saying: "I heard you’re the same type of mage as me?"
"More or less." Reiger did not deny it.
Okkotsu Yuta’s technique is unconditional imitation, capable of copying, mimicking, and using others’ techniques, which indeed resembles Reiger’s type.
But...
"I heard you can even use the [Limitless Curse Technique], truly impressive." Okkotsu Yuta sincerely marveled, "I couldn’t do that, even when first hearing about it, it was indeed surprising."
No, Okkotsu Yuta can actually mimic the technique itself.
However, Okkotsu lacks the curse energy manipulation skill comparable to Six Eyes, so even if he imitates the [Limitless Curse Technique], he cannot use it.
Just like the monk once said, Okkotsu Yuta’s technique has limitations; if the target’s technique has stringent usage requirements beyond his reach, he cannot successfully deploy it.
Such as, techniques like [Limitless Curse Technique] lying at the height of sorcery generally have strict use conditions, which Okkotsu Yuta cannot fulfill.
Therefore, the monk wasn’t interested in Okkotsu Yuta, believing he would never become another Gojo Satoru.
Okkotsu Yuta also thinks so.
His reasoning is simple: no matter how he imagines, he can’t foresee himself catching up to Gojo Satoru.
Thus, even though Gojo Satoru favored him, believing he could catch up, Okkotsu Yuta felt it was quite challenging.
But the person before him was different.
Clearly the same type of mage as himself, yet achieving what he cannot, proving the other’s abilities exceed his own.
Especially upon learning the other possesses the [Limitless Curse Technique], Okkotsu Yuta confirmed one thing even more.
If it’s him, he should be able to fulfill Teacher Gojo’s wish, catching up to him.
With this thought in mind, Okkotsu Yuta spoke.
"If possible, I really don’t want to be an enemy to someone like you."
The atmosphere started to feel a bit tense upon these words.
"I’m a bit curious." Reiger directly gazed at Okkotsu Yuta, saying: "Why would you accept the sorcery supervisory department’s order to chase me?"
This was quite a strange matter.
In principle, since Okkotsu Yuta survived due to Gojo Satoru’s guarantee, and was once secretly sentenced to death by the sorcery supervisory department, his relationship with the high-ups in the world of sorcery should be very poor.
He’s a student of Gojo Satoru, no matter how you look, he should be on Gojo’s side.
If that’s the case, why would he accept the order from the sorcery supervisory department and oppose someone also in Gojo’s camp?
Reiger was curious about this point.
To which Okkotsu Yuta said.
"I have my considerations too." He didn’t explain explicitly, but said to Reiger: "Let’s discuss this after the battle."
Okkotsu Yuta removed the cloth bag, opened it, and withdrew a long, item.
That was a sheathed Japanese sword.
"Clang..."
Okkotsu Yuta drew the sword, pointing it at Reiger.
Instantly, a curse energy burning intensely enough to slightly distort the space around Okkotsu Yuta began blazing on him.
A volcano erupted at this very moment.
"Please be careful now."
Okkotsu Yuta’s tone changed.
Turned rational and murderous like a cold war God.
"I can’t show mercy in this battle."
It’s not that I can’t show mercy, it’s that I can’t help but not show mercy.
This faintly revealed some hints to Reiger.
"Understood, I know now."
Reiger extended his hand, a radiant magic power light appeared.
The magic power gathered, forming a straight-edged black blade.
"Then let me see if you and your pure-loving partner can bring me some surprises."
With a playful laugh, curse energy slowly flowed from Reiger’s body.
Unlike Okkotsu Yuta’s grand and fierce curse energy, Reiger’s had a serene, peaceful, tranquil sensation.
This made Okkotsu Yuta’s eyes slightly narrow.
"Amazing curse energy control technique..."
Okkotsu Yuta could sense the terrifying power hidden beneath the calm curse energy.
If his curse energy was a volcano eruption, then Reiger’s was the approaching storm.
Before a storm arrives, everything feels extraordinarily calm.
Two young men of the same age raised swords, poised for attack.
They should’ve worn identical white curse sorcery high-special uniforms, representing problematic children, but Reiger swapped his out, otherwise this confrontation scene would resemble seeing one’s reflection.
"Here I come."
Okkotsu Yuta quietly declared.
"Come at me."
Reiger calmly replied.
Still lacking gunpowder scent, lacking tension.
Yet, astonishing pressure erupted at this moment, scaring away lingering Curse Spirits nearby.
In the next instant—
"Boom!"
Seemingly frail Okkotsu Yuta suddenly stepped hard, shattering the ground beneath his foot, launching forward like an arrow toward Reiger.
Curse energy exploding like a volcano entwined around him, enhancing his physical prowess to the utmost, transforming the frail lad into a raging War God.
"Swish!"
The fiercely cursed blade sliced through the air, radiating a waterfall-like brilliance, slashing fiercely at Reiger.
"Clang!!!"
When Reiger blocked with his blade, deflecting the waterfall-like slash, the thunderous steel collision rang out, turning impact into a light explosion sweeping across the field.
"Rumble...!"
The rumbling immediately followed.
That was the sound of the ground collapsing under unbearable force.
The tremendous power from the collision of two long blades shattered the ground under Reiger and Okkotsu Yuta as if struck by a meteor, splintering bit by bit.
A corner of the Shinjuku district crumbled thunderously, akin to a natural disaster.
