The five Domains pressed down like collapsing heavens.
Blood covered the fractured ground.
At the center of the destruction—
Toji Fushiguro was on one knee.
Ribs cracked.
Thigh pierced.
Vision blurred.
Every law inside the layered Domains screamed the same verdict—
Execution confirmed.
The Tremor
Then—
A faint vibration.
Not cursed energy.
Not reverse technique.
Absence.
The thin black blade in Toji's hand began to hum.
The surrounding space bent inward unnaturally, as if reality itself was confused.
Above him—
Yuta Okkotsu felt it immediately.
"The structure… it's destabilizing."
Kinji Hakari's probability flow flickered.
Choso's guaranteed-hit blood techniques hesitated mid-air.
For a fraction of a second—
The five Domains lost perfect synchronization.
And that was enough.
Standing Against the System
Toji's fingers dug into the ground.
Bones screamed.
Muscles tore.
But slowly—
He stood up.
Gravity still crushing.
Bindings still active.
Blood dripping from every wound.
Yet upright.
Yuta's eyes widened.
"That's impossible."
Inside a Domain—
Guaranteed-hit was law.
It didn't miss.
It didn't delay.
But Toji was not resisting the attacks.
He was cutting the concept supporting them.
The First Slice
Toji raised the black blade.
Calm.
Precise.
He swung once.
No flashy motion.
No explosion.
Just a thin, invisible line moving through distorted air.
The sound that followed—
Was not impact.
It was rupture.
One of the five Domain layers split open like glass.
Hakari's probability space collapsed instantly.
His barrier shattered outward.
He staggered back, coughing blood.
"What did he just cut—?!"
Pressure Intensifies
The remaining four Domains reacted aggressively.
Gravity doubled.
Blood spears accelerated.
Yuta's blade constructs descended in a storm.
Toji endured the hits.
Several pierced through his side and shoulder.
He didn't dodge.
He endured.
Because he had identified the core alignment point.
The synchronization center.
The exact moment when the remaining four overlapped.
And he waited.
Breathing heavy.
Timing perfect.
The Promise
Megumi's voice echoed faintly in his mind.
"Papa…"
Toji's expression hardened.
"You don't need cursed energy to break a system."
He swung again.
This time—
The blade didn't cut space.
It cut the boundary of two overlapping Domains simultaneously.
A violent shockwave erupted outward.
Two more layers shattered.
Choso's blood techniques dissolved instantly.
Barrier laws crumbled.
Only Yuta's Domain remained stable—
Barely.
Face to Face Again
The crushing weight vanished.
Rain resumed falling naturally.
Three Domains gone.
One destabilized.
One flickering.
Toji stood fully upright now.
Body covered in wounds.
But posture straight.
Eyes sharp.
Across from him—
Yuta exhaled slowly.
Rika roared behind him, sensing danger.
Toji pointed the black blade forward calmly.
"You built a cage."
He took one slow step forward.
"I don't live inside cages."
The remaining Domain cracked loudly.
And for the first time since activating the trap—
The sorcerers understood something terrifying.
They hadn't trapped the Sorcerer Killer.
They had forced him to reveal something far worse.
The technique born from zero cursed energy.
The beginning of—
Domain Destroyer.
