Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1346 - 959: Destruction Revisit_2

"If she harbors hostility towards you all, being targeted by a special-grade curse mage is never a good thing."

"Even for you, Reiger, facing a special-grade curse mage lurking in the shadows could be risky."

Gojo Satoru’s experience serves as a lesson.

In the world of sorcery, curses, cursed objects, and cursed tools are as numerous as the stars, with some possessing truly terrifying power.

Just as Gojo Satoru fell to a Prison Gate Border, Reiger could also fall to another curse, cursed object, or cursed tool.

The best example is Kugisaki Nobara’s technique—[Straw Doll Technique].

As long as a part symbolizing the target is obtained, damage can be inflicted through a curse; once this technique is initiated, even [Limitless Cursed Technique] can’t stop it.

Though it’s unlikely for them to obtain a part symbolizing Reiger or Gojo Satoru, one can never be too cautious, right?

No special-grade curse mage is simple; Okkotsu Yuta is not afraid of a frontal confrontation with Reiger, but fears the opponent might really strike from the shadows, which is hard to defend against.

Thus, Okkotsu Yuta simply took on this task himself.

"If I take action, at least the situation will be controlled within a manageable scope."

Based on this consideration, Okkotsu Yuta came to pursue Reiger and execute Itadori Yuji.

"I see." Reiger nodded, then questioned with suspicion: "But... aren’t those fools at the Cursed Technique Monitoring Department too trusting of you?"

As mentioned earlier, Okkotsu Yuta, being a student of Gojo Satoru, clearly leans towards their side.

In contrast, those fools had previously sentenced Okkotsu Yuta to a secret death and had a poor relationship with him.

In such circumstances, those fools can trust Okkotsu Yuta with this task?

Aren’t they afraid Okkotsu Yuta is a spy?

Or are they truly that foolish?

"Of course, they wouldn’t easily trust me." Okkotsu Yuta smiled and said, "So I made a binding vow with them, ensuring to exert my full strength in a confrontation with you, and also guaranteeing to execute Itadori."

Reiger understood then.

With the existence of a binding vow, even if those fools have doubts, they would choose to trust Okkotsu Yuta.

"No wonder you said you couldn’t hold back before the fight."

Due to the binding vow, if Okkotsu Yuta didn’t exert his full strength, problems would certainly arise.

"I was hesitating whether to use Domain Expansion, but before I could, you defeated me." Okkotsu Yuta helplessly smiled: "And Rikka also took action, so this battle can’t be considered as holding back, I somehow fulfilled the binding vow."

... This thick-browed young man is indeed not simple, he has even learned Domain Expansion?

In last year’s "Jujutsu Kaisen" prequel, Okkotsu Yuta couldn’t perform Domain Expansion.

Conversely, being able to defeat Geto Suguru without Domain Expansion speaks volumes about Okkotsu Yuta’s strength.

Regarding today’s fight, although Okkotsu Yuta didn’t use Domain Expansion, it’s not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t find the opportunity to use it, especially since his strongest trump card, the special-grade cursed vengeful spirit, had also been used. It can’t be said he didn’t give his all.

"Is not holding back enough?" Reiger shrugged, saying: "Shouldn’t they have made you vow to capture me?"

"They didn’t insist on that." Okkotsu Yuta shook his head, saying: "They understand how strong you are. Perhaps they considered the possibility of my failure, so they didn’t make me take such a vow."

Reiger and Itadori Yuji are indeed different.

Itadori Yuji is strong, but within certain limits; many first-grade curse mages are stronger than him, not to mention special-grade. There’s no chance of losing to him.

Reiger is different.

The one his strength is compared against is Gojo Satoru.

Can a special-grade curse mage defeat Gojo Satoru?

Unless all other special-grade curse mages join forces, it’s not possible.

Given this, the Cursed Technique Monitoring Department didn’t make impractical demands, only requesting Okkotsu Yuta to do his utmost.

If all efforts couldn’t capture Reiger, then nothing else could.

Of course...

"It’s different for Itadori, right?"

Reiger looked directly at Okkotsu Yuta.

"Yes." Okkotsu Yuta nodded and said, "Regarding Itadori’s execution, they made me vow... to kill him."

This is something Okkotsu Yuta could indeed manage.

Thus, the Cursed Technique Monitoring Department naturally made Okkotsu Yuta take a vow, ensuring he would act against Itadori Yuji and definitely kill him.

"What about him now?"

Reiger asked out of curiosity.

After all, Okkotsu Yuta mentioned he had already met Itadori Yuji.

"He died once." Okkotsu Yuta said with a calm expression: "When I pierced his heart, I injected Reverse Curse Technique into him."

In other words, Okkotsu Yuta indeed killed Itadori Yuji but simultaneously revived him with the Reverse Curse Technique.

This way, it didn’t violate the vow.

"It’s impressive you managed that."

This time, Reiger was genuinely impressed with Okkotsu Yuta.

Reverse Curse Technique is notoriously difficult to master, even Gojo Satoru struggled with it. This explains why so few in the world of sorcery have mastered it; there’s a reason for it.

And Okkotsu Yuta?

He had only enrolled in the sorcery school last year and is now just a second-year student. Becoming a special-grade upon admission is already noteworthy; with Rikka by his side, ordinary special-grades mean little in front of him. Yet, mastering Reverse Curse Technique within a year, applying it on someone else, even under such conditions, transcends mere talent.

Clearly, mastering Reverse Curse Technique is tough, applying it on someone else is a challenge, mastering healing a pierced heart is another, and ensuring revival after death adds more complexity. These are monumental challenges.

But Okkotsu Yuta overcame these hurdles, earning him a reputation as a prodigy second only to Gojo Satoru.

His innate cursed energy is astonishingly vast, which is why Rikka remains by his side, becoming the current Curse Queen.

The monk belittled Okkotsu Yuta, but that was merely in comparison to Gojo Satoru, an extraordinary being.

Comparatively speaking, or relative to himself, Okkotsu Yuta surpasses expectations.

If Reiger hadn’t come to this world, then with Gojo Satoru in trouble, Okkotsu Yuta might have become a leading figure in the future of sorcery.

Eliminate anomalies like Reiger, Gojo Satoru, and Ryomensukuna, Okkotsu Yuta is fully qualified to be the strongest.

"Impressive, pure love War God Okkotsu Yuta."

Reiger thought, maybe a prequel protagonist like him truly deserves to be called the protagonist.

"Please, don’t say that."

Okkotsu Yuta appeared a bit bashful after the praise, his demeanor becoming shy.

"So, what about Itadori and the rest?" Reiger continued asking, "What are they doing now?"

At this, Okkotsu Yuta regained his seriousness.

"Reiger, your goal is to find Geto Suguru and rescue teacher Gojo and Fushiguro, right?"

Okkotsu Yuta’s words made Reiger gradually understand something.

"Could it be..."

He looked at Okkotsu Yuta.

"Yes."

Okkotsu Yuta nodded solemnly, saying heavily.

"They share the same goal as you, aiming to rescue teacher Gojo and Fushiguro as next steps."

"So, they have gone to participate in..."

"Destruction Revisit."
