The mont the sound of shattering glass exploded, Roswaal's pupils suddenly contracted.
That was no ordinary attack—he hadn't even had ti to perceive any fluctuations in Mana.
It wasn't Magic, it wasn't an arrow, it wasn't anything he was familiar with; it seed to be an existence close to Mana but entirely different.
It was a long spear condensed from pure blood, shrieking through the air from the distant forest, its speed so imnse that the air was torn apart with a sharp, explosive boom.
Convergence: Piercing Blood.
A second ago, it had begun as a single, insignificant drop of blood squeezed from Yuji Itadori's fingertip.
But the mont he infused it with Cursed Energy, that drop of blood was compressed to its limit, its density skyrocketing as its shape was forcibly stretched into a thin, almost invisible line.
It was no longer a liquid, but a bullet flying at the speed of sound, possessing the power to penetrate anything.
This was the Convergence: Piercing Blood released by Yuji Itadori!
At this mont, Yuji Itadori was deep within the forest, his hands pressed together in front of him, connected to the other end of the bloodline.
He was more than a kiloter away from the Mansion; from Roswaal's position, it was impossible to even see Yuji Itadori's silhouette.
However, Yuji Itadori had used Flowing Red Scale to enhance his vision, allowing him to see every movent within the Mansion.
The instant Roswaal prepared to act, Yuji Itadori had already launched his attack.
"What?!"
Roswaal was sowhat flustered, but as the head magic user of Lugnica, he possessed extensive combat experience. He imdiately cast defensive Magic, and a ring-shaped Barrier manifested before him.
The Blood Spear struck Roswaal's Barrier with a deafening crash, the terrifying impact forcing him back a heavy step.
'What is this? Is it blood?'
Roswaal possessed a profound mastery of Magic, yet he had never seen Magic like this.
Such a volu of blood loss was not sothing an ordinary person could endure.
Moreover, the hardness of that blood actually exceeded steel.
At the mont of contact, cracks actually appeared on the Barrier.
Just as Roswaal prepared to continue releasing Mana to reinforce the Barrier, the originally straight Blood Spear suddenly changed direction. It coiled like a snake, weaving past the area the Barrier couldn't cover at extre speed!
"What?!"
Even Roswaal had not anticipated such a change; his shoulder was directly pierced by the Blood Spear.
It had been a long ti since he had tasted such pain.
What exactly was this?
Was it Yuji Itadori's Magic?
No, this wasn't Magic!
There wasn't even a trace of Mana!
The Blood Spear then vanished, and Roswaal slumped to the floor, his strength failing him.
To the side, Natsuki Subaru was also internally shocked.
He had never seen this ability of Yuji Itadori's before.
"Natsuki Subaru... so this was the plan between you and Itadori..."
In order to successfully bend the Child of Prophecy to his will, Roswaal had been plotting for four hundred years—
After the death of his beloved Sensei, the Witch of Greed, Echidna, he had researched the Technique of Soul Transference, continuously seizing the bodies of his own descendants to live until today.
However, Roswaal never imagined things would turn out like this.
He had considered countless possibilities, but he never thought that within a week of Natsuki Subaru arriving at the Mansion, he would be pushed to such an extent.
Right then, a chilling gale swept in.
Yuji Itadori had already arrived at the ruined window.
Beneath his hood, there was little change in expression on his scarred face, as if defeating Roswaal wasn't sothing worth noting.
"Yuji Itadori..."
"I heard your entire conversation."
Yuji Itadori looked at Roswaal expressionlessly.
Through the video in the Chat Group, Yuji Itadori knew everything Roswaal had said to Natsuki Subaru.
"You think everything can just start over, so you did these things. What do you think other people's lives are?"
Yuji Itadori stood before Roswaal, looking down at him.
If everything truly could start over, how wonderful that would be.
He could have saved more people.
Nanami Kento, Choso, Satoru Gojo...
Even if it required his own death to reset ti, Yuji Itadori would end his own life without a mont's hesitation.
But he didn't have that ability.
And it was just as Himl had said before.
Whether it was others or oneself, life must be cherished.
Therefore, Roswaal's words were sothing Yuji Itadori could absolutely never accept.
"As long as I can fulfill my wish, I don't care what the cost is! I've prepared for a very, very long ti for this."
Roswaal clutched his wound, sweat beads seeping from his forehead and constantly running down his cheeks, saring his clown makeup.
Seeing the smile still forced onto Roswaal's face, Yuji Itadori couldn't help but think of one of his forr enemies—the mastermind who could be said to have orchestrated every tragedy.
Kenjaku.
He loved to plot everything, to use everything.
"What happened?"
At that mont, the others in the Mansion finally hurried over.
Ram and the rest had no idea what had happened; they had only seen a pillar of blood that nearly tore the sky apart suddenly appear and pierce through Roswaal's room.
They saw only the heavily injured Roswaal and Natsuki Subaru standing to the side.
And Yuji Itadori.
"Sir Itadori?"
Emilia looked at Yuji Itadori in surprise. Hadn't he already left earlier?
"Could you tell us exactly what happened?"
"Emilia..."
A conflicted expression appeared on Natsuki Subaru's face; he didn't know how to begin.
Ultimately, however, he seed to reach a decision and finally spoke the truth:
"Emilia, Roswaal is the mastermind who hired Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter)."
While speaking, Natsuki Subaru pulled out his phone. Because of Elsa's intervention earlier, he hadn't handed the phone over to Felt and the others.
To be safe, Natsuki Subaru had been recording the entire scene from start to finish.
"This is a Magic tool capable of... freezing ti. It recorded Roswaal's every move just now."
"What?"
Emilia was completely stunned, even montarily doubting her own hearing. She could only cast a gaze of disbelief at Roswaal.
As for Roswaal, who was slumped on the floor, he rely maintained his smile, tacitly confirming Natsuki Subaru's words.
With things having developed to this point, there was no longer any need for denial.
He had originally thought that Natsuki Subaru had used that world-correcting power to uncover his actions.
As it turned out, the one who orchestrated all of this was actually Yuji Itadori.
Truly... beyond expectations.
