Chapter 34: Sheathing
What was that just now? A blade!
Alex Moyan looked at the already broken Domain in disbelief.
Through the gap split by the blade, Alex Moyan could clearly see the scene outside.
Outside the Domain, Satoru and Geto Suguru were waiting for Alex Moyan's battle to end.
But after waiting for a long while, the Domain still hadn't ended.
"What's going on, Suguru-chan~"
"Why hasn't that guy Alex come out yet?"
Satoru was already getting impatient.
Geto Suguru propped his left cheek with his hand and sighed.
"Maybe... he's playing around."
Geto Suguru never thought Alex Moyan was in a hard battle; this was his recognition and confidence in Alex Moyan's strength.
From start to finish, the two never worried if Alex Moyan couldn't win; instead, they felt he was toying with that Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
"Ah~~ So boring."
"Does this guy have that much Cursed Energy? The Domain has been open for so long, isn't he tired?"
Alex Moyan's reaction was: Tired? What does that have to do with me, Alex Moyan? It's not my Domain that's open.
Satoru was so bored he wanted to sleep and couldn't help leaning his head on Geto Suguru's broad shoulder.
Geto Suguru sensed Satoru's movement and considerately moved his shoulder closer.
Looking at the face as smooth as jade on his shoulder, a strand of silver-white hair was stuck to the forehead.
Just as Geto Suguru reached out to help tidy it for Satoru...
Satoru's eyes suddenly snapped open.
"Suguru, watch out!"
Satoru shouted and shoved Geto Suguru away!
At that moment, a streak of blood-red light broke through the Domain, flying towards them at an incredible speed.
Seeing the blood-red light close at hand, Satoru didn't panic because he had already activated his Limitless to protect himself.
But in the next second, a section of a silver-white blade passed through Satoru's body!
"How is this possible!"
Satoru looked at the blade in his chest in disbelief.
His Limitless was actually... broken!
And it was without any resistance!
Satoru found it hard to believe, as if this blade were born with the ability to break through all Cursed Techniques.
"Satoru!"
Geto Suguru roared in anxiety and worry, looking at Satoru whose body had been pierced by the blade.
Satoru waved his hand: "I'm fine, I've already used Cursed Energy to protect my internal organs."
"I'm in great condition right now, just like a needle passing through a sweater, no problem at all."
Geto Suguru looked at Satoru, who was only bleeding a little and was otherwise fine.
Geto Suguru's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Everything just now was too sudden!
At this time, Alex Moyan had Ghost Face release the Domain.
"Damn it, I should have realized something was wrong earlier!"
"How could a Special Grade Cursed Spirit suddenly appear in such a short time? It's clearly a special grade cursed tool at work!"
Alex Moyan flew out of the Domain, looking at Satoru who had been pierced through the heart by the blade.
He couldn't help but worry: "You're not dead, are you, Satoru!"
Satoru chuckled, revealing an incredibly confident smile: "I'm fine, I am the strongest, after all."
Seeing that Satoru was still in the mood to joke with him, Alex Moyan knew he was perfectly fine.
'The strongest', my foot. You've probably forgotten my Limitless Cursed Speech Technique.
"In a heartbeat, I'll show you what it means to be unable to even hold it in!"
Satoru looked at the blade in front of him and couldn't help but voice the surprise and confusion in his heart.
"I just didn't expect this blade to be so eerie, even my Limitless could be broken through."
Seeing that Satoru was fine, Alex Moyan also expressed his agreement: "It is indeed eerie. Just now, my Domain was like it didn't exist; it was pierced through by this blade in an instant, letting it escape."
"What Cursed Tool is this? Do you recognize it?"
Alex Moyan asked the two.
The two shook their heads; they didn't recognize it either.
But they were certain that this blade must have a significant background.
After all, it was so powerful—cutting through Domains like melons and slicing through Limitlesss like vegetables.
Just as Satoru was about to pull the blade out of his body...
A strange image suddenly flashed through Satoru's mind.
In the next second, Satoru's body shook, and blood leaked from his nose and mouth!
"What was that just now!?"
Satoru was both shocked and suspicious. Just as he was still confused...
He didn't notice that his other hand had already lifted, aiming at Alex Moyan.
In a situation no one expected, a Cursed Technique "Blue" was fired at Alex Moyan!
Alex Moyan looked at the Blue flying towards him, his face full of bewilderment.
"What the hell?"
Boom!
The unprepared Alex Moyan was directly blown away by Blue, his body forcibly embedded into the wall.
Alex Moyan only felt a burst of pain in his body and cursed.
"Satoru, you bastard! Can't you pick a better time for revenge? Is now the time for that?"
But Satoru had a look of blankness; he clearly hadn't moved just now!
Satoru looked at the blade inside his body, horrified!
Satoru gripped the blade with both hands and pulled it out with a sudden force.
"A demon blade?! Or a cursed blade?"
The moment Satoru pulled out the blade, he felt as if his Cursed Energy had been significantly depleted.
The blade that originally had blood on it instantly became bright.
It seemed... that blood had been absorbed by the blade itself!
With a whoosh, the blade broke free while Satoru was distracted.
It turned into a blood-red light, its speed even faster than before.
It attacked Geto Suguru once again!
It was as if this blade had a spirit of its own, deciding that Geto Suguru was the easiest to kill among the three.
It stared fixedly at Geto Suguru!
Geto Suguru didn't sit idly by; he summoned a large number of Cursed Spirits, attempting to block the blade.
The result was that the Cursed Spirits were like watermelons, cut through by the blade without any pressure or hesitation, green blood splattering everywhere in mid-air!
Geto Suguru's gaze was solemn; he didn't think a special grade cursed tool could take his life.
He prepared to use other Cursed Techniques to capture this blade!
A Cursed Tool is, after all, just a Cursed Tool!
It couldn't possibly be a match for a Quasi-Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
But just then, a large hand reached out from the void and grabbed the blade.
"Caught you."
Alex Moyan sneered.
Then, a Scabbard engraved with a Golden Dragon Pattern flew out from his waist.
With a 'clink', the crisp sound of a blade entering its sheath rang out.
The beautiful Golden Dragon Pattern lit up, and the previously restless blade also calmed down at this moment.
Alex Moyan looked at the blade lying quietly in his hand.
He couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Phew~ I didn't expect to have an extra harvest today."
Although the three of us looked a bit pathetic by the time it was settled.
Satoru and Geto Suguru also walked over at this time.
Geto Suguru didn't ask Alex Moyan why he knew Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
Because he knew that everyone has their own secrets.
He only needed to know that Alex Moyan was his closest friend.
The few of them focused their attention on the blade.
As for where Alex Moyan got the Scabbard.
Of course, it was found through the The Art of Spirits Observation.
Otherwise, could this blade have appeared out of thin air?
Since there is a blade, there must be a sheath.
