"Be Crushed"

  The cursed speech was activated.

  The invisible force of the cursed energy crushed all the cursed spirits attempting to approach him.

  "Since you put it that way, if I don't respond with my stro power, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

  With that, Ryuji casually stretched his ned cracked his knuckles.

  "That's great," Dagon ughed, hearing Ryuji's words. The stro power? Nothing could be better. But before Dagon could finish speaking, Ryuji disappeared.

  *Bang!*

  When he reappeared, he was already in front of Dagon.

  With a single punch, Ryuji struck with overwhelming force.

  This time, Dagon's body wasn't merely knocked back.

  Instead, half of Dagon's body had pletely disied.

  "Is the gap really this big?" Dagon thought, staring at where the lower half of his body used to be, his sciousness starting to blur.

  The differen strength was too vast. This wasn't an oppohey could ever defeat.

  "Be careful, everyone!"

  Even at the st moment, Dagon's mind was still on his rades—Jogo, Hanami, Mahito. His final thoughts were of them, imagining their reunion in a hundred years.

  The Horizon of the Captivating Skandha domain began to fade away.

  "Soul Dev!"

  s materialized and coiled around Dagon's broken body.

  "tacted target: Dagon!

  Goldery activated, would you like to load it?"

  Anoldery? Perfect.

  Ryuji was undoubtedly pleased with the spoils of the night.

  True to their he Disaster Cursed Spirits were leagues above ordinary special-grade curses. The battle with Kenjaku had already led him to devour several special-grade curses, but now, after taking in Dagon, he was fully sated.

  "Not bad. Not bad at all."

  Ryuji patted his stomach, clearly pleased with how the night had turned out.

  "Did they get away?"

  The domain dissipated, and Ryuji nded softly on the ground, gng around. Jogo, Hanami, and Mahito were o be found, which didn't surprise him.

  This was enough for today, so leaving the rest for ter wouldn't be an issue.

  "Hum~"

  Not only had he obtained "Idle Transfiguration", but he had used Soul Dev to feast, and he'd everieved Geto's body. The night's gairuly substantial—golderies from Kenjaku, Dagon, and even a purple entry from Hanami and Jogo.

  Aside from Idle Transfiguration from Mahito, the other perks were still unknown.

  "I'll check them out ter!"

  Humming to himself, Ryuji strolled off leisurely.

  But—

  "Is this it?"

  "Such a strong cursed energy!"

  "Special grade?"

  Before long, a group of sorcerers had gathered in the area that had just beetlefield.

  After all, the fight hadly been subtle. The high-level jujutsu sorcerers had naturally sehe disturbance.

  In addition to Gojo, several others from Jujutsu High were present, including Nanami, Kusakabe, and even Mei Mei. Sorcerers from Kyoto Jujutsu High had also arrived.

  "Was that a domain?"

  As the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, while not the stro, had enough experiehe lingering traultiple domains in the air.

  "Five domains, at least."

  "Well, well, aren't you perceptive for an old man from Kyoto High!"

  Gojo ughed, mog Gakuganji as usual.

  The rivalry between Kyoto and Tokyo Jujutsu High was a long-standing one, and Satoru's casual jabs at Gakuganji were just as old.

  "Gojo Satoru..."

  Utahime Iori, a teacher from Kyoto, frow Gojo's mockery. No matter what, she was still a teacher from Kyoto.

  "Ohhh! Utahime, you're here too?"

  Gojo grinned, waving cheerfully.

  "I thought you'd be too scared to e, seeing as you're so weak!"

  "…"

  Utahime's brow twitched, her patience wearing thin. Gojo had been mog her for her supposed weakness for as long as she could remember, and it still infuriated her.

  If it were possible, she would have loved to punch him in the face.

  "You should be careful," Gakuganji said gravely. "There were at least five special-grade curse spirits here, all capable of deploying their domains."

  Special-grade curses capable of domain expansion were on a whole other level pared to those who couldn't.

  "It's fi's fine."

  Gojo waved it off, his usual care-free demeanor intact.

  "No matter who they are, the oute is always the same. Because—"

  He paused for effect, fshing a fident grin.

  "Because I'm the stro."

  "…"

  No one objected.

  Gojo was indeed arrogant, but he hadn't earhe title of the stro sorcerer in modern history for nothing.

  "The stro, huh?"

  Mei Mei murmured, repeating his words to herself. As she did, a particur face came to mind, the young man she hadn't seen in a while. She couldn't help but smile at the thought.

  "It's been some time since I st saw him. I should visit soon."

  With that in mind, she stretched her arms zily.

  "If that's all there is to this mess, calli so te at night is a waste of time. Don't you know beauty sleep is important for a dy?"

  She turo leave, the others paying little mind to her departure.

  The battle had been doted, and as other sorcerers began to disperse—

  "Goldery: Anti-gravity System!"

  Ryuji was unaware that several jujutsu sorcerers had gathered at the site of his battle with the Disaster Cursed Spirits.

  On his way back, Ryuji had already started reviewing his spoils.

  First was the golderiggered from Kenjaku.

  "Anti-gravity System!"

  It wasn't Suguru's Cursed Spirit Manipution, but that was fine.

  The Anti-gravity System owerful teique that allowed trol ravitational forces. The dowhough, was that the caster couldn't move while using it; otherwise, they would also be affected by the same gravitational pull.

  That drawback would be troublesome for most people.

  But for Ryuji? It was nothing.

  It was simply a matter of physical strength.

  With Soul Dev, Ryuji's body was stantly evolviually, whether it was ten times gravity, a huimes, or even a thousand times, it wouldn't matter.

  But for his enemies, it would be airely different story.

  "Loading!"

  Si was a useful ability, there was o break it down.

  "Now that I think about it, this seems to be Itadori Kaori's teique!"

  Ryuji remembered that the Anti-Gravity System had inally beloo Itadori Kaori. After Kenjaku took over her body, he ied the teique. Being able ter this was an ued bonus.

  was the golden perk from Dagon.

  "Goldery: Domain Expansion – Horizon of the Captivating Skandha!"

  "Hmmmm?"

  The most beautiful domain space, and now it was his? Not bad at all.

  "Loading!"

  There was a on belief in the jujutsu world that whether you were a sorcerer or a cursed spirit, you could only possess one domain expansion. Even Sukuna, the King of Curses from a thousand years ago, was limited to one.

  Ryuji wondered, if he unleashed two domains in battle, how terrified his oppos would be.

  He was looking forward to it.

  Moreover, aside from bat, Horizon of the Captivating Skandha would make an excellent vacation spot!

  "e to think of it, Nanami mentioned he wao visit the beach."

  Now, there erfect opportunity for that!

  Of course, Nanami was just an afterthought. The real priority was to take his woman along.

  , there were the purple perks he'd gotten from Hanami and Jogo. Starting with Hanami—

  "Purple entry: Protector of Nature!"

  "???"

  Hanami, a cursed spirit born from humanity's fear of forests, loved nature more than anything. Would Ryuji share that love after loading this perk?

  Yeah, right.

  "Depose!"

  Useless.

  was Jogo.

  "Purple entry: One-Eye!"

  "!!!"

  What kind of ridiculous perk was this?

  While the perk from Hanami had left Ryuji speechless, this one genuinely freaked him out.

  What was the point? After loading it, he would end up with one eye. How was that useful?

  Acc to the description, it would give him a 360-degree field of vision. irely useless, but still—

  "Depose!"

  Strength is temporary, but being handsome is forever.

  No way was Ryuji loading that ability. He'd rather be strong and good-looking.

  "Get lost, get lost! As far away as you !"

  He made a mental note. ime he saw Jogo, he'd ftten his volo-shaped head fiving him such a terrible perk.

  *Huh!*

  After deposing those useless perks, Ryuji noticed he had a free purple entry draw avaible.

  "I wonder what I'll get."

  He had faith that the system wouldn't give him another useless perk like One-Eye or Protector Of Nature.

  Then again, it was free, and sidering his current haul, Ryuji couldn't really pin.

  "Extract!"

  Without aation, Ryuji used the extra opportunity.

  Moments ter, the system's response appeared.

  "Extra successful!

  Obtained: Purple entry – bat Intuition!"

  As expected, the purple perk granted by the system was leagues ahead of the ones he'd triggered on his own.

  "bat Intuition: Provides an unparalleled sense of bat, allowing the user to anticipate and sense immi danger!"

  Not bad, having the ability to predict danger was a solid perk. Ryuji couldn't pin about this one.

  "Loading!"

  With the new ability in pce, he decided to take a quick look at his character stats.

  "[Talery system]

  Host: Ryuji Hoshino

  Bloodline: Human

  Loaded entries: Soul Dev [Red], Yin-Yang Eyes [Gold], Presence cealment [Gold],Tranquility [Gold], Reverse Cursed Teique [Gold], Motrag Physique [Gold], Third Dimension, Dreamwalker [Gold], Physical Strengthening [Gold], Cursed Speech [Gold], Shadoution [Gold], Malevolent Shrine [Gold], Bckbird Manipution [Gold], Idle Transfiguration [Gold], Anti-Gravity System [Gold], Horizon of the Captivating Skandha [Gold], Iron Fist [Purple], bat Intuition [Purple].

  Points: 79,120!"

  Looking at his extensive list of abilities, Ryuji felt a deep sense of satisfa. He was growing more powerful by the day, and with each step, he was more prepared for whatever y ahead.

  But after sing through his entries, something struck him.

  "Wait a sed… I think I've triggered more than 10 golderies by now!"

  After tallying it all up, Ryuji realized he'd triggered over fourteen golderies so far. So why hadn't he received a sed free goldery draw?

  Could there be a bug in the system?

  His doubts were quickly dispelled as the system respoo his query.

  "So that's how it works..."

  After reading the system's expnation, Ryuji nodded in uanding.

  The sed free goldery required twenty triggers, the third thirty, and so on, increasing by ten each time.

  "I guess I hadn't paid attention before. I thought I'd get a free draw every ten triggers!"

  Upon refle, it wasn't such a big deal. The system was still generous in the grand scheme of things.

  With his current arsenal, he didn't feel like he was missing out on anything. Even if there were no more draws, Ryuji was fident he could take on Satojo head-to-head if needed.

  "Alright then! Time to head home!"

  Ryuji decided not to dwell on the issue any longer. After all, there were two beautiful twin sisters waiting for him back at home.

  Closing his system interface, Ryuji resumed his walk, ready to call it a night.

  *Hum~*

  Humming a cheerful tu was clear Ryuji was in an excellent mood as he made his way back.
