However, Jogo still harbored a sliver of wishful thinking; perhaps if his domain neutralized Kagura Shin's Cursed Technique, he could win!
Don't regret it when you're burned to ashes! Jujutsu Sorcerer! Domain Expansion—Coffin of the Iron Mountain!
The vision of those from Jujutsu High suddenly turned dark, followed by a violent sound like a volcanic eruption ringing in their ears. Bubbling lava surged from the ground, and the surrounding environment instantly transformed into a deep crimson.
Rivers of magma flowed around them. Kagura Shin immediately checked his fire resistance status; the fire resistance effect, which should have lasted fifteen minutes, was instantly reduced to a minute and a half.
The other secondary and tertiary buff effects were instantly reduced to primary level, and their durations were significantly shortened as well.
Jogo itself was greatly enhanced by its own domain. With a gentle lift of its hand, a massive amount of magma, carrying numerous unmelted rocks, rushed toward the Jujutsu High group at high speed.
Although the fire resistance potion was still effective, the high-speed rocks posed a significant threat to the students other than Kagura Shin and Satoru Gojo.
Satoru Gojo gently pulled down his blindfold, revealing his pale blue [Six Eyes]. With just a slow lift of his hand, the space in front of him seemed to freeze, and the magma and rocks were halted in mid-air.
This was Satoru Gojo's Cursed Technique, [Limitless]. Its principle involved interfering with space using immense Cursed Energy, allowing for repulsion, attraction, and even teleportation. Of course, stopping space was also possible.
Alright, my dear students, the last section of today's lesson is how to counter a domain. As everyone knows, a domain comes with a Guaranteed Hit effect, making it impossible to dodge.
So, the first method is to block it directly with a Cursed Technique like this, though the effect is quite poor. The second, and most effective method, is for our side to also expand a domain.
In that case, the side with stronger Cursed Energy and more refined Cursed Techniques will win. Even if you don't win the domain clash, you can significantly neutralize the opponent's domain effect.
After speaking, Satoru Gojo signaled for Kagura Shin to use Domain Expansion to counter Jogo's domain. After all, his [Unlimited Void] would attack everyone inside indiscriminately unless they were in direct physical contact with him, and he didn't want to accidentally harm his students.
Kagura Shin looked at Satoru Gojo with deadpan eyes, helplessly raised his hands, and declared, "I can't guarantee that my domain can overpower this Cursed Spirit's domain; I can only say I'll try my best."
[Domain Expansion—Genesis]
Blocks spread outward from under Kagura Shin's feet. The moment any lava splashed from the churning magma in Jogo's domain landed in the block world, it immediately vanished into nothingness.
Kagura Shin's stored blocks were being consumed rapidly. Similarly, Jogo was sweating profusely, continuously increasing its Cursed Energy output, but it still couldn't stop the block world from expanding.
Kagura Shin's heart bled as he watched his block reserves plummeting, but if you asked him to go toe-to-toe with Jogo based purely on Cursed Energy, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Jogo kept compressing the Cursed Energy within its body, maintaining a massive output to desperately support its domain, because it knew its domain was its final swan song.
Once the domain was destroyed, the resulting Cursed Technique Burnout would be enough to cripple it. Trapped in Cursed Technique Burnout, it wouldn't even be able to defeat a normal Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Now, its heart was filled with despair; it already knew that it might not return home alive today.
Crack~
Densely packed cracks appeared on Jogo's domain Barrier, and then, with a "bang" like glass, it shattered into fragments in mid-air.
The figures of the group were revealed once again. Satoru Gojo put his blindfold back on and stepped on Jogo's head, though at least this time, Jogo's head wasn't ripped off to be kicked around like a ball.
Hey—tell me, how did you know I was going to pass through here tonight? Otherwise, I'll kill you!
As he spoke, the force of Satoru Gojo's foot gradually increased, distorting Jogo's entire head, but it still stubbornly said, "Hmph, kill me then. We, the new humans, will absolutely never betray our companions like you old humans!"
A mere Cursed Spirit, you dare to speak so boldly!
Satoru Gojo disdainfully applied more force, preparing to exorcise Jogo directly. Just then, clusters of flowers suddenly appeared on the ground.
Although Kagura Shin had long known that someone would come to save Jogo, even so, he fell into a brief moment of distraction the first time he saw the flowers.
Ah! Flowers~ * 5
Almost simultaneously, Satoru Gojo and Kagura Shin slapped their own faces, but by then, Jogo was already being carried on Hanami's back, fleeing at high speed.
Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki were all grabbed by their ankles by tree branches and thrown violently in three different directions. In the paths of their flight, clusters of sharp wooden spikes waited to pierce them.
Kagura Shin immediately gave up on chasing the two Cursed Spirits, turned back to grab the nearest Nobara Kugisaki, and threw her forward, then immediately dashed toward the second closest, Megumi Fushiguro.
Megumi Fushiguro was pulled back by Kagura Shin in the nick of time, just as he was about to hit the wooden spikes, while Satoru Gojo went to save Yuji Itadori. By the time they finished saving everyone, the Cursed Spirits had already vanished from Satoru Gojo's perception.
This was entirely due to Hanami's special ability to merge with nature; in terms of perception, Hanami in its normal state was indistinguishable from plants. It was precisely this special ability that allowed Hanami to save Jogo right under Satoru Gojo's nose.
Satoru Gojo didn't react much to Jogo being rescued; he just shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Alright, everyone go back to Jujutsu High. Shin and I still have a meeting to attend. It's been so long, I hope those rotten oranges don't have too many complaints."
