Another day spent by the sea. After several days of investigation, Suguru Geto had finally found the target of this mission: the Rainbow Dragon.
Speaking of which, Satoru Gojo was the one who accepted this mission for Suguru Geto.
Once Suguru Geto learned that the Gojo Family had a Cursed Tool suitable for him, he started working overtime to earn money.
Along the way, he didn't forget to confirm the details of the Cursed Tool with Satoru Gojo.
Satoru Gojo usually didn't pay much attention to his family's affairs. After all, in his opinion, the decaying old folks in his family were nowhere near as interesting as Eiji and Suguru Geto.
However, he happened to know about Heavenly Restriction, as it was a rare Special Grade Cursed Tool. Satoru Gojo had even played with it for a while back then.
But he stopped playing with it because he always ended up hitting himself in the head.
Besides, it wasn't cool at all; after swinging it around for ages, there were no special effects.
Remembering that such a thing actually existed, Satoru Gojo gave a positive reply.
Thus, Suguru Geto worked even harder.
With this situation in mind, Satoru Gojo, who came to play with Eiji, remembered a big job and asked Suguru Geto if he wanted to take it. Suguru Geto accepted without hesitation.
It was a nine-figure job.
Satoru Gojo knew about this mission because the client was the Director's Bureau, and the Gojo Family had also discussed it internally.
However, they later deemed the risk too high and wanted more compensation, so they didn't reply.
After all, the enemy they had to deal with in this mission was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
The Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Rainbow Dragon, was born from people's fear of dragons and snakes. It possessed a physical body that even a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer would find difficult to damage, along with incredible speed, strength, and the ability to fight on land, in the sea, and in the air.
The Director's Bureau had organized two attempts to exorcise it but failed both times, even injuring several Grade 1 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Unlike other Cursed Spirits with limited and relatively fixed ranges of activity.
The Rainbow Dragon's range of activity was too vast, covering almost half the island nation.
This point gave the Director's Bureau a major headache.
In previous Cursed Spirit exorcisms, the Cursed Spirits would obediently stay in their birthplace. They only needed to send a few Jujutsu Sorcerers from civilian backgrounds to investigate the situation and then gather personnel to subdue them based on the Cursed Spirit's condition.
But the Rainbow Dragon's range of activity was too wide; they could only search and fight as they went.
However, the Rainbow Dragon would fly for a while and then swim for a while, making it impossible for them to keep up.
They couldn't just leave it alone either, as the Rainbow Dragon's threat was too great, even impacting the island nation's fishing industry.
To resolve the Rainbow Dragon issue quickly, the Director's Bureau decided to offer a bounty.
There was no other way. Before Satoru Gojo intervened in the Jujutsu World, the strongest power in the Jujutsu World was actually held by the three major families. The higher-ups of the Director's Bureau were almost all from these families. To mobilize enough experts for a mission, their consent was necessary.
However, the three major families were not ones to act without incentive; they were unwilling to act unless the benefits were substantial. In the end, the Director's Bureau made this decision.
They would simultaneously ask the three major families to quickly form a Cursed Spirit exorcism team and offer a bounty to see if they could lure out a few brave souls to deal with the Rainbow Dragon.
And so, through Satoru Gojo's introduction, this mission fell into Suguru Geto's hands.
The weather was exceptionally clear after the rain. A dragon-shaped Cursed Spirit, entirely silver-white and appearing quite fantastical under the rainbow, appeared on the sea surface.
In the air, Suguru Geto, standing on a Manta Ray Cursed Spirit, looked at the Rainbow Dragon with burning eyes.
Not only was it his second Special Grade "Pokémon," but it was also the final payment for his dream Cursed Tool, Heavenly Restriction.
Suguru Geto found the Rainbow Dragon more and more pleasing to his eye.
Unfortunately, unlike the divine dragons that could summon rain and bring good fortune.
The Rainbow Dragon, born from the "fear" of dragons and snakes, only brought disaster.
"Vulture."
Dozens of Vulture Cursed Spirits appeared and flew towards the Rainbow Dragon.
The Rainbow Dragon, which was flying towards a fishing ground, seemed to sense something.
It turned and looked at Suguru Geto in the sky and the flock of Vultures flying towards it.
"Roar!"
A terrifying roar erupted from the Rainbow Dragon's mouth.
The Rainbow Dragon moved its body and flew towards Suguru Geto.
Suguru Geto maneuvered the Manta Ray to dodge, while simultaneously commanding the Vultures to block the Rainbow Dragon's line of sight.
Instantly, several ferocious-looking Cursed Spirits appeared on the Rainbow Dragon.
These Cursed Spirits were generally Grade 2 or above, with one Grade 1 Cursed Spirit among them.
A Mantis Cursed Spirit wielded its twin blades, attacking the Rainbow Dragon, but its attacks only produced sparks upon impact, leaving no marks.
Fish with sharp teeth and fangs bit into the Rainbow Dragon, but they couldn't penetrate its defenses either.
The Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, on which Suguru Geto had placed great hopes, also opened its monstrous maw. Unfortunately, its bite only managed to break the Rainbow Dragon's skin slightly.
"It really is terrifyingly tough."
With that, Suguru Geto turned and flew towards the seaside.
The Rainbow Dragon pursued closely behind.
Soon, the battlefield descended to the sea's surface.
"Kraken!"
Over a dozen massive tentacles shot out from the seabed, tightly entangling the Rainbow Dragon's body.
"Roar!"
The Rainbow Dragon let out a furious roar, then thrashed its body, attempting to break free from the restraints.
Its sharp teeth, like divine weapons, bit through the Kraken's tentacles.
But the Kraken's task was complete. The Rainbow Dragon, moving at high speed, was successfully halted and dragged into the sea.
"Sea Monk! Great Sea Monster! Rain Woman! Fishman! Bottle-Nose..."
Dozens of Cursed Spirits adept at aquatic combat appeared around the Rainbow Dragon, including several Grade 1 Cursed Spirits.
Thanks to Eiji's help, Suguru Geto now possessed far more Cursed Spirits, both in number and strength, than in the original story.
Although the Rainbow Dragon was the strongest on the field in terms of power, speed, and defense, as the saying goes, "Even the best fighter can't beat a crowd." Facing dozens of Cursed Spirits in an orderly, rotating assault, the Rainbow Dragon couldn't cope.
The Rainbow Dragon's attacks either missed or were blocked by the Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, while the other Cursed Spirits' attacks continuously landed on it.
Even minor injuries, when accumulated, took their toll.
On the churning sea surface, a giant Sea Turtle Cursed Spirit moved slowly.
On the turtle's back, a colossal figure extended a long neck into the water, and black mist billowed, engulfing the Rainbow Dragon.
It was the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit.
The illusion interfered with the Rainbow Dragon's judgment, and its movements began to falter.
Suddenly, several Pufferfish-like Cursed Spirits burrowed into the Rainbow Dragon's belly and exploded.
The Rainbow Dragon's body instantly swelled, then quickly returned to its original slender form.
But Suguru Geto knew the Rainbow Dragon was injured.
Sensing danger, the Rainbow Dragon began to struggle fiercely, wanting to escape the battlefield and regroup.
"It's here."
Suguru Geto's gaze turned to the distance. A black dot was rapidly approaching.
The Rainbow Dragon finally broke through the Cursed Spirits' encirclement and surged out of the water. Under Suguru Geto's control, the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit leaped from the Sea Turtle's back, its gaping maw clamping onto the Rainbow Dragon's midsection. Its limbs strained, pulling the Rainbow Dragon towards the sea's surface.
"A bit off target."
Looking at the black dot's trajectory and then at the struggling Rainbow Dragon.
A black rift appeared behind it, and a massive Worm Cursed Spirit burst forth, slamming hard into the Rainbow Dragon.
"Snow Woman."
A figure clad in a kimono, but with a hairy, green-faced, fanged appearance like a demon, materialized behind Suguru Geto.
Bone-chilling winds mixed with snow and sleet howled past, temporarily freezing the Rainbow Dragon's body.
Several more tentacles appeared, pulling the Rainbow Dragon's body towards the black dot's approach.
"That's more like it."
Just then, the black dot, which had been flying for a long time, finally appeared before the Rainbow Dragon.
Its body was covered in explosive muscles, with enormous wings and long horns extending from its head.
This figure, resembling the mythical ferocious beast Qiongqi, was the Chimera Beast Qiongqi, fused by Eiji from Tiger Grave, Nue, and Uroya.
