Unnoticed, the catastrophe-like commotion gradually disappeared.
Whether it was the earth-shaking roar or the fierce battle, it seed to have been quelled.
"Has it... ended?"
All the Curse Mages involved in this disaster, who were innocent bystanders, looked towards the forest with lingering fear.
Including Fushiguro gumi, who finally could start moving again.
"..."
Fushiguro gumi no longer spoke, gazing at the battlefield not far from him, and took a deep breath.
"[Nue]."
He continued to summon the eagle shikigami, letting [Nue] grab his shoulder, and flew towards the forest once more.
This flight was smooth, with no unexpected events for Fushiguro gumi.
But the sights along the way still made Fushiguro gumi feel alard.
By this ti, he had flown into the forest, into the battlefield that had recently been affected by the battle.
Here, there were craters like teorites, seemingly caused by fragnts hitting after the massive teorite shattered, and the ground was completely destroyed, altering the terrain.
Especially in the area closest to the center of the battle, everything within several kiloters had ceased to exist, the ground turned into uneven wasteland, with rubble everywhere, creating a desolate wilderness ruin.
Is this really sothing a Curse Mage can accomplish?
Fushiguro gumi unconsciously clenched his fist.
Thinking about the reenactnt of the famous desperate battle of the Gojo Family and Zenin Family, and the confrontation here between [Limitless Curse] and [Ten Shadow Techniques], his feelings were particularly complex.
As the current user of [Ten Shadow Techniques], he always believed he could never reach the realm of Gojo Satoru.
Even as a talented Grade 2 Curse Mage just entering the first year of the prestigious school of curses, the gap between Grade 2 and Special Grade was still too vast.
Fushiguro gumi had never thought he could beco a Special Grade Curse Mage, deciding the future of the world of sorcery, at most striving towards the goal of being a Grade 1 Curse Mage.
But now, he realizes he had underestimated the potential of [Ten Shadow Techniques].
"No, now’s not the ti to think about this."
Fushiguro gumi shook his head forcefully, dismissing dangerous thoughts from his mind.
"The most important thing now is to confirm the result of the subjugation ritual."
Did Reiger succeed?
[Ten Grasp Sword·Different Peaceal Divine General·Demonic Void]... was it subdued?
What once seed unimaginable had beco an option after witnessing that earth-shattering battle, entering Fushiguro gumi’s mind.
Eager to know the result, Fushiguro gumi finally reached the center of the battlefield.
Here, the destruction was more severe than anywhere else, completely fallen into a broken wasteland.
And on this ravaged land, a figure stood, as if the only victor in the world, the small silhouette giving an impression of mighty presence.
Fushiguro gumi controlled [Nue] to descend, landing behind this person, watching in silence for a long ti.
At that mont, the person turned around.
"The first one here is you?"
Reiger remained unscathed, his white uniform unblemished, even the black sword he had just been holding was put back into the storage space of the dinsion cube, as he turned around to face Fushiguro gumi with a smile.
Fushiguro gumi did not respond imdiately, instead, looking at what the person was holding.
It was an object resembling a ship’s helm, an array plate.
It looked like an artifact, but Fushiguro gumi knew it was actually a part of the shikigami.
Yes.
It was part of that fearso shikigami that had just been here.
"...Did you, succeed?"
Fushiguro gumi spoke, complex emotions in his voice.
And Reiger, of course, knew what he was referring to.
"I suppose so." Reiger smiled calmly, even admiringly told Fushiguro gumi, "I must say, I indeed received a huge surprise this ti."
"The [Ten Shadow Techniques] of the Zenin Family are indeed excellent, and very valuable for exploration."
"You possess a very strong power, Fushiguro."
Reiger tossed the array plate in his hand aside.
The array plate turned into a shadow, dissipating like black water.
"Uh..." Reiger watched this scene, hesitated, and said, "I might have been a bit rough, this shouldn’t affect my ability to summon it in the future, right?"
"... It shouldn’t." Fushiguro gumi smiled bitterly, "This shikigami’s regenerative ability is very strong, as long as a part of the body remains, it can recover in a short ti."
"As long as the shikigami of [Ten Shadow Techniques] are not completely destroyed, dispelling the summon like this won’t affect future use."
"...Congratulations, not only did you accomplish what no non-Six-Eyes [Limitless Curse] user from the Gojo Family could do, but you also completed the final subjugation ritual of [Ten Shadow Techniques] that no Zenin Family practitioner ever could."
[Limitless Curse] can only be used by those with Six Eyes, those without it can never use this spell, but Reiger managed to do it.
The final shikigami of [Ten Shadow Techniques] was never successfully subdued by anyone, each generation of Shadow Mage regarded it as a last resort, but Reiger completed the subjugation as well.
