Watching as over a hundred cursed spirits, Grade 3s, 4s, and even half a dozen Semi,Grade 2 to Semi,Grade 1s, were wiped out by Su Yang in mere breaths, Suguru Geto finally understood:
Gojo Satoru hadn't been exaggerating about this man.
Sure, he could have wiped out that many spirits too.
But not this easily.
And then that guy had the nerve to say…
"Don't be stingy, send more?"
Geto's face turned cold.
"So those little appetizers weren't enough to satisfy you, huh?"
"Appetizers?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow, glancing at his simulation system and seeing it had just gained over 60,000 points. "Please. That wasn't even a warm,up."
"I see."
Geto spread his arms wide.
"In that case, let's really give you a show."
This time, he didn't hold back.
Cursed Spirit Manipulation, fully unleashed.
Two black vortexes swirled open, and cursed spirits came flooding out, hundreds of them. In the blink of an eye, the skies darkened as two to three hundred new cursed spirits swarmed toward Su Yang.
From a distance, it looked like he was being swallowed by a cursed tsunami.
But far from being nervous, Su Yang's eyes glimmered with anticipation.
"Amaterasu!"
"Amaterasu!"
"Amaterasu!!"
In an instant, every cursed spirit caught in his gaze burst into black flames, the undying fire of Amaterasu.
Su Yang made no effort to conserve energy.
He let his Mangekyō Sharingan burn freely, indifferent to its side effects.
If his eyes went blind? No problem, he could just use his simulation points to pull out a fresh pair.
Besides, tonight he planned to run another simulation anyway. He'd just bring along more jutsu rewards then.
Watching cursed spirits burn alive one after another, Geto's expression darkened.
He'd realized something terrifying:
This black fire couldn't be extinguished.
Even cursed spirits with water or ice attributes, spirits meant to suppress or snuff out fire, were helpless. The flames just kept burning.
This ability... it's completely unheard of.
Even worse?
A Grade 1 cursed spirit lunged forward, and passed straight through Su Yang, completely ineffective.
Then it too burst into black flames.
Nothing could touch him.
Meanwhile, Su Yang was casually racking up kills.
This is bad…
Geto clenched his fists.
He still didn't understand, why only target the cursed spirits? With that kind of firepower, Su Yang could've gone straight for him.
Could it be a distance limitation?
Maybe that black fire can only reach so far?
But Geto didn't have time to think too deeply about it.
Because his army?
Almost completely wiped out.
If direct attacks won't work… then maybe this will.
He pressed his palms together.
A strange cursed spirit emerged.
Its form was twisted, floating, with a bloated head, long arms, and a sickly tail instead of legs.
Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Pox Deity!
The moment it appeared, it immediately activated its domain.
Domain Expansion: "Tomb."
Su Yang and the cursed spirit vanished.
They had entered the Pox Deity's domain.
Geto let out a breath of relief.
Good. It can drag him into a domain.
This meant it could land a hit.
After all, within a domain, every attack is guaranteed to hit.
No matter what kind of strange abilities Su Yang had, surely he couldn't escape a domain's absolute rules.
Inside the domain,
Su Yang raised an eyebrow.
A Special Grade, finally?
Let's see how many points I get from this one.
Before he could move, the Pox Deity attacked.
Bang!
A coffin suddenly materialized and swallowed Su Yang.
Then, CRASH!, a tombstone dropped, smashing the coffin to pieces.
The cursed spirit raised three fingers.
3…
2…
1…
Its ability was simple but deadly:
Trap the target in a coffin.
Smash it with a tombstone.
If they fail to escape within the countdown, the curse would infect them with a fatal disease.
Only this time…
Why is he still alive?
The Pox Deity hesitated.
The countdown had finished.
And yet, Su Yang stood there, completely unharmed.
CRACK!
BOOM!
A wave of space,warping energy exploded from Su Yang's body, shattering the tombstone into dust.
He reappeared, completely unscathed.
"That's it?" Su Yang muttered, disappointed.
"You're supposed to be a Special Grade?"
From the start, he'd entered the domain in his Kamui intangibility state.
He was ready, he had expected something serious.
But the Pox Deity's ultimate technique? Useless.
Completely ineffective.
To be clear, Kamui's intangibility wasn't invincible.
Strong enough attacks could still force him to burn through chakra and eye power.
But this? It didn't even make a dent.
"You're useless." Su Yang's voice turned cold.
"So it's time for you to die."
Kamui activated.
A space,time vortex twisted open, right over the Pox Deity's body.
"AAAAAHHH!!"
It screamed as its body warped grotesquely, flesh and cursed energy twisting and tearing, until it finally exploded.
[Defeated Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Simulation Points +100,000]
Just as I thought!
Special Grade = 100k points!
Su Yang was thrilled.
A few more of those and I'll be rolling in rewards, wait…
Where's Geto?
As the domain collapsed, Su Yang reappeared outside.
Around him, cursed spirits still burned with Amaterasu's fire, but Geto was nowhere to be seen.
"…He ran?"
Far above, atop a high,speed flying cursed spirit, Geto's expression was ugly.
Ten seconds.
That's all it took.
Not even ten seconds, and the Pox Deity was gone.
Destroyed.
Thankfully, he'd prepared for this.
The moment Su Yang was pulled into the domain, Geto had summoned a fast escape mount, just in case.
If the Pox Deity had killed Su Yang? Great.
But Geto had known better.
Gojo's warning had told him Su Yang wasn't someone to provoke.
But after this?
Geto understood something far more terrifying:
Su Yang isn't someone you shouldn't provoke…
He's someone you absolutely, under no circumstance, CAN'T provoke.
The whole encounter hadn't lasted more than ten minutes.
And in that time?
Over 500 cursed spirits were destroyed.
Among them:
Multiple Grade 1s
Several Semi,Grade 1s and Grade 2s
And even one Special Grade
An entire cursed battalion, wiped out like ants.
Geto made up his mind then and there:
No matter what it took, he would hunt down the person in his faction who dared provoke Su Yang in the first place.
This couldn't go unpunished.
What?
Su Yang was the one who picked the fight?
Like hell he did!
You think I'm stupid?
You expect me to go against that guy again?
