Kenjaku's domain, bolstered by a Binding Vow, did not remain as he had expected after crushing Yuji and Megumi's two domains. Even with the Binding Vow, he only barely managed to fight them to a draw.
"Impossible... How could this be? Not long ago, your domains were still weak and pathetic. How could they reach this level in just a few days?"
Yuji, who had fallen into a Cursed Technique Burnout period, curled his lip in disdain and said, "You didn't think you were the only one who could use a Binding Vow, did you? Kagura specifically taught us a move to guard against you. By making a vow that we won't use our domains for a month, we can super-strengthen the domain's effects. Kagura calls this move... calls it..."
Megumi reminded him, "Loaned Sanctification."
Suguru, who was still in his prime, clenched his fists and walked toward Kenjaku with a sinister smile.
"Don't underestimate me just because I don't have any powerful Cursed Spirits right now, I'm still hiding a trump card. Even Satoru doesn't know about this move."
Cursed Spirit Manipulation: Sacrifice!
This was a technique created by mimicking Mei Mei's Bird Strike, burning away a Cursed Spirit's life force to unleash a super-powerful strike. However, even Suguru could at most only withstand the power generated by burning a Grade 2 Curse. After all, even an ordinary crow could heavily injure a Special Grade, let alone a Grade 2 Curse.
Unlike the Maximum Technique, which merely kneads a large number of Cursed Spirits into a ball and throws them out, this move burns the life and existence of the Cursed Spirit as fuel.
Boom!
A massive Cursed Energy cannon instantly blasted toward Kenjaku, who was in Cursed Technique Burnout.
He could only use pure Cursed Energy to resist, but how could such a powerful Cursed Energy cannon be blocked so easily?
It blasted him into flying ash in an instant.
Suguru also fell into Cursed Technique Burnout after unleashing this strike.
"That's why I didn't want to use this move. It's clearly not a Domain Expansion, yet it still causes Cursed Technique Burnout after use."
—
Once the few who finished their battles were free, they immediately went to assist the others who were having trouble.
Although Satoru and Yuta were currently experiencing Cursed Technique Burnout, the four Special Grade Sorcerers could easily handle ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirits using only taijutsu.
Not to mention that Yuki was at nearly full strength, and Shin had retained all of his combat capabilities, save for those high-consumption commands.
The remaining Curse Users and Cursed Spirits had absolutely no power to fight back.
Standing before Dagon's domain, Shin immediately expanded his domain, instantly shattering the shell of Dagon's domain to reveal the sun-drenched beach filled with murderous intent inside.
On the beach, countless piranhas with sharp teeth were biting Mechamaru's mechanical body, while Panda, protected by the Simple Domain granted by Muta Kokichi, was going back and forth with Dagon in his Gorilla Mode.
"Don't move!"
While Panda and Dagon were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Toge was on the sidelines, using Cursed Speech to harass Dagon.
Shin took out a trident shimmering with iridescent light and tossed it in his hand.
"Hmm... the enchantment is the same as the trident used to exorcise Jogo. How is this not a kind of alternative reunion? I really am too kind."
Exorcism Trident!
Whoosh—
The high-speed trident instantly struck Dagon's chest, and the powerful positive energy neutralized his body into nothingness.
Since the caster was dead, the piranhas that were biting Mechamaru naturally dissipated, leaving behind only Mechamaru, who had been reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
After Shin dispelled his domain, the others had also finished their battles.
Except for Mahito, who was still hanging on by a thread, all the other Curse Users had been dealt with.
Why was Mahito still alive?
Naturally, because Suguru wanted to absorb him with his Cursed Technique. His Special Grade Cursed Spirits had all been used up, and he was in urgent need of replenishment.
However, he was still in the period of Cursed Technique Burnout, so he kept Mahito alive for the time being.
Suguru was also quite skilled with Reverse Cursed Technique. If he used it to heal his Cursed Technique Burnout, he would likely recover to normal in a little while.
However, even though Kenjaku was already dead and Sukuna was putting all his energy into dealing with the Bedrock Ball, this massive Barrier covering Hokkaido still hadn't dissipated.
Instead, the Cursed Energy of the entire Barrier was concentrating here. A vast amount of Cursed Energy surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, forming a massive Cursed Energy tornado near the group.
In the center of the tornado, it seemed as though something was being born.
However, with so many people from Jujutsu High standing there, if they still let it be successfully born, they might as well all just go bang their heads against a block of stone and die.
Yuki took the lead, kicking Garuda towards the center of the Cursed Energy storm.
Although Yuta couldn't use his Cursed Technique for the moment, it didn't affect his output of positive energy. A massive positive energy cannon blast went straight into the center of the storm, while Shin threw out a series of End Crystals and a dense barrage of Exorcism Tridents.
After a series of violent explosions, the once-imposing Cursed Energy vortex suddenly seemed to lose its strength, shrinking from its thick, robust state into a pathetic, sickly, slow-spinning mess.
Yuta fired another cannon blast of positive energy, neutralizing it into nothingness and putting an end to the Cursed Energy storm.
If it had been a Curse User with an equivalent level of Cursed Energy and a strong Cursed Technique, the group might have taken it a bit more seriously, but since you're a Cursed Spirit, aren't you just blown to bits?
Even if this stillborn Cursed Spirit could have been successfully born, so what?
What it was about to face was—
Yuta, for whom outputting positive energy via Reverse Cursed Technique is as easy as drinking water.
Shin, who can use positive energy at will.
The final shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique, enveloped in positive energy—Chimera!
Cursed Spirit? I heard you're weak against positive energy.
As the Cursed Energy storm dissipated, the Barrier that had covered the entirety of Hokkaido slowly lifted. Naturally, the ordinary people who had survived within the Barrier slowly regained consciousness.
Some of them, upon opening their eyes without knowing what had happened, discovered a hill-like pile of human bones in front of them and fainted from fear on the spot.
With the Barrier lifted, communications returned to normal. Satoru immediately made a call to the members of Window and the Assistant Supervisors, telling them to bring as many people as possible to handle the aftermath.
"Ah... cleaning up the traces and erasing memories is such a troublesome job. Good thing I don't have to do it myself."
Satoru patted the Bedrock Sphere again and said, "Now there's only this one trouble left. Once he is dealt with, the external danger can be put to rest for a while. When that time comes, it'll be time to close the doors and deal with the problems inside our Jujutsu World."
He looked around at his students, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'My students can all stand on their own now. Those rotten oranges in the Higher-Ups should move their butts. If they don't want to move their butts... then they can move their heads instead.'
