Yuji Itadori's Cursed Technique was inherited from Sukuna, and there were two types of slashes within his technique.
One was the most common slashing attack, Dismantle.
The other type of slash was even more ferocious—
Cleave.
This was a slash specifically directed at targets possessing Cursed Energy; the greater the difference in Cursed Energy between the two sides, the greater the power.
However, the activation of Cleave was more demanding than Dismantle; one had to physically touch the opponent.
Unless—
One activated a Domain.
Sukuna's Domain, Malevolent Shrine, was an Open Barrier Domain. Within a radius of two hundred ters, it could incessantly unleash a storm of slashes composed of Dismantle and Cleave, possessing terrifyingly horrific destructive power.
Yuji Itadori, who inherited Sukuna's technique, had a Domain effect similar to the original, likewise capable of applying guaranteed-hit slashes within the Domain. However, the internal structure of his Domain was entirely different.
The interior of a Domain is a reflection of a Jujutsu Sorcerer's heart; this was the reason why the two possessed the sa technique yet their Domains appeared different.
Furthermore, the slashes within Sukuna's Domain only dealt damage to the physical body, whereas Yuji Itadori's slashes were capable of directly attacking the soul.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!!!!"
At this mont, ili was shrieking.
A few seconds ago, the Witchbeasts that had been frozen by fear finally began to move again amidst her screams.
They surged from all directions, their grayish-black silhouettes converging into a murky torrent under the moonlight.
Fangs, claws, glowing eyes, and that nauseating stench—a mix of rotting at and an indescribable foul odor—all bore down on Yuji Itadori and Natsuki Subaru.
"Senior Itadori!"
Natsuki Subaru was initially in a state of utter panic, but after seeing the back of Yuji Itadori walking out in front of him, he felt incredibly at ease.
The mont Yuji Itadori appeared, it was as if the matter had already been settled.
"It's not just you two! Those villagers in the village will be buried along with you~ How are you going to handle the Witchbeasts of the entire forest all by yourself?!"
ili had a hint of a frenzied smile on her face, sowhat similar to her sister, Elsa.
"It's been a long ti since I've used this."
Yuji Itadori murmured to himself. Ever since the battle with Sukuna, he had rarely used his Domain.
This was because he had not encountered an opponent he needed a Domain to defeat.
"Still, since I'm in another world, I might as well experint a little."
"Adjusting the technique's effect. Using a Binding Vow to make this Domain attack only the physical body and not the soul, in exchange for expanding the Domain's range."
"You just asked how I'm going to handle the Witchbeasts of the entire forest? I'll show you right now."
Yuji Itadori crossed his fingers, leaving only his middle fingers standing upright, resembling Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Domain Expansion."
His voice was very light, as soft as a sigh.
However, everything that happened next would be impossible for Natsuki Subaru to forget for the rest of his life.
The forest, the soil, the moon—everything vanished.
In its place was a completely unfamiliar space.
A town.
However, unlike a bustling town, this place looked empty, even sowhat desolate.
"It's been a long ti since I've seen this scene; my mories are a bit blurred."
Yuji Itadori spoke slowly while looking around.
This Domain was a projection of his own heart, a replica of his forr hotown.
However, Yuji Itadori also noticed that compared to the last ti he used his Domain, the environnt inside seed a bit more desolate.
Was it because of his heart?
Forget it, I won't think about that for now.
Yuji Itadori cast his gaze toward ili not far away. The latter had never seen such a scene and stood frozen in place, utterly at a loss.
It wasn't just her; the other Witchbeasts that had been dragged into the Domain together seed equally shocked by the sudden change in environnt, all of them halting their movents.
Their bodies were trembling, as if they sensed an intense danger.
"To prevent any from slipping through the net, I'm using a Closed Barrier Domain this ti. Although I could use an open barrier as a Binding Vow to further increase the range, this is enough for now."
Sukuna's Open Barrier Domain, Malevolent Shrine, could reach a range of 200 ters—
And now, Yuji Itadori's Closed Barrier Domain had a range that was even more terrifying.
It was the area of an entire town.
"What is your na?"
Yuji Itadori cast his gaze toward the girl before him and spoke in a peaceful tone, yet his voice contained absolute majesty, like a final warning.
"You can still stop now, before you cause irreversible consequences."
ili's body trembled slightly. Even though she had killed many people, she was still just a child after all; the sight before her filled her with dread.
But she quickly cald down again.
Because she knew that if her mission was not completed, what awaited her would be an even more horrific execution.
The 'Mother' of that Assassin Organization was soone ili absolutely dared not disobey.
Once, she had even been turned into countless frogs by the other woman—that terrifying ability...
Just the mory of it made ili feel fear.
That subtle expression was caught by Yuji Itadori.
He saw the fear in the girl's eyes, not just of himself, but of sothing else that existed.
However, ili soon gritted her teeth and feigned composure, shouting loudly:
"My—my mission must be completed! This—this kind of illusion is useless against ! We're actually still in the forest, aren't we!"
ili's trembling voice still betrayed her inner fear.
Even a battle-hardened warrior might panic upon finding themselves suddenly transported to a completely unfamiliar environnt, let alone a child.
"You're right, we are actually still in the forest."
Yuji Itadori did not deny it.
"In that case, if I kill you, this illusion will be dispelled!! Quick! Kill him! Kill him!!!"
ili mustered her courage and hysterically gave the command to the Witchbeasts.
"In that case—"
Yuji Itadori simply shook his head.
Within the Domain, the technique was released, further imbued with a guaranteed-hit effect.
Due to the previous adjustnt, Yuji Itadori did not use the soul-cutting Dismantle within the Domain this ti.
Instead, it was Cleave, targeted at objects existing with Cursed Energy.
There was no sound.
Not a single sound.
This was the first abnormality Natsuki Subaru noticed.
There was no roar of an explosion, no loud sound of tearing, not even the sound of the wind—the entire city fell into a weird, suffocating silence in an instant.
Then, there was the sound of what seed like a torrential downpour.
The Witchbeasts began to disappear!
No, not disappear!
They were being sliced apart!
The storm of Cleave slashes swept through the entire Domain like a violent tempest.
