Perhaps it’s because Reiger’s thods are excessively violent during the Shikigami subjugation rituals of the "Ten Shadow Techniques," his subjugation of each Shikigami could be deed as achieving the pinnacle of perfection.
Subjugation ans to conquer, and with Reiger’s strength, dealing with the Shikigami of the "Ten Shadow Techniques" ant that the process was entirely one-sided, even for the final Shikigami.
Under such circumstances, Reiger suddenly realized that while summoning Shikigami of the "Ten Shadow Techniques," he no longer needed hand shadows.
The Shikigami from the "Ten Shadow Techniques" were extrely obedient to him, and his control over them was exceptionally smooth, with no obstacles, even easier than summoning creatures through Summoning Magic.
This aspect also demonstrates the adaptability of sorcery, unlike magic where the effects are completely fixed.
Depending on the situation, the application and extent of sorcery can change dramatically, without being completely fixed.
Unaware of this, Fushiguro gumi was shocked that Reiger could summon two major Shikigami without hand shadows.
But at this mont, no amount of shock could stop Reiger’s Nue and Serpent from attacking his Shikigami.
"Screech!"
Reiger’s Nue suddenly shot out with lightning speed, appearing like a bolt of lightning, with actual thick lightning erging from its body, slamming into Fushiguro gumi’s Nue, sending it flying backward, twisting, like a cannonball that smashed through a distant warehouse’s wall.
"Hiss!"
Reiger’s Serpent slithered out like a dragon, hissing as it bit the weak spot of Fushiguro gumi’s Serpent, thrashing it in mid-air, causing Fushiguro gumi’s Serpent to bleed profusely.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Fushiguro gumi broke out in a cold sweat.
Without the aid of Nue and Serpent, he stood no chance in close combat against Reiger.
"Boom!"
Reiger punched the shaft of Fushiguro gumi’s Eastern staff, deflecting it along with the hand holding it, then suddenly closed the distance.
"...!"
Fushiguro gumi wanted to react, to block Reiger, but Reiger’s speed naturally surpassed his, and as he assud his stance, a hand was already pressed against his face, pushing it towards the ground.
"Boom!"
With another dull thud, Fushiguro gumi’s head was slamd heavily onto the ground by Reiger.
"Bastard!"
Before Reiger could make his next move, Zenin Maki rushed back, thrusting her tallic staff spear electrically towards Reiger’s back, attacking from behind.
"Jade Dog."
Reiger didn’t turn around, instead, he calmly extended a shadow, from which a large black dog erged from his own shadow.
"Clang!"
In the sound of tal clashing, the black dog bit Zenin Maki’s thrusting tal staff spear, causing the tip to grind against its sharp teeth.
"A third Shikigami...?!"
Pinned to the ground, Fushiguro gumi’s expression changed again.
With the "Ten Shadow Techniques" Shikigami, Fushiguro gumi could currently only summon two at a ti.
So after summoning Nue and Serpent, Fushiguro gumi could no longer summon another Shikigami.
But Reiger clearly wasn’t limited this way, directly summoning a third Shikigami, manifesting the black dog from the Jade Dog to fend off Zenin Maki’s attack.
"Roar!"
The enormous black dog, as large as a horse, let out a low growl, biting Zenin Maki’s tal staff spear, and with a forceful snap, it bit the spear in half.
Zenin Maki’s eyes widened, and she was promptly apprehended by Reiger’s sudden advance.
Maintaining his grip on Fushiguro gumi, Reiger extended his free hand towards Zenin Maki, also grabbing her by the face.
"Next, things might get a bit violent, rember to use curse energy to reinforce yourself, enhance your defense, okay?"
With a light chuckle, Reiger held onto the heads of the two individuals, running along the ground.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!"
Pinned to the ground, Fushiguro gumi and Zenin Maki were dragged by Reiger’s sprint, plowing through soil and stone, causing eruptions and explosions.
"Maki!"
"Fushiguro!"
Panda, struggling to stand from the crater, and Kugisaki Nobara, catching her breath, cried out, one rushing with a raised fist, the other launching curse-imbued nails with a hamr.
"Cough cough...!"
Inumaki Toge also tried to rise, using "Curse Words" to force Reiger to stop, but the previous backlash of curse energy almost wrecked his throat, leaving him unable to utter even a single word, only able to continuously cough up blood.
Without the "Curse Words" ability, and suffering such damage, Inumaki Toge could be declared out of play.
This top-ranking Curse Master in the whole venue, next only to Reiger, was rendered completely ineffective.
As for Panda and Kugisaki Nobara, their attacks couldn’t reach Reiger either.
Just as the panda was about to rush towards Reiger, the pitch-black [Jade Dog] suddenly pounced on it, biting its glove and smashing it away.
Kugisaki Nobara’s nail infused with Curse Energy was intercepted by the electrifying [Nué], which sent it flying back without even breaking through the lightning on its body.
"Splat!"
Reiger’s [Great Serpent] had already sunk its two sharp fangs into Fushiguro gumi’s [Great Serpent], causing it to splatter blood, howling in pain.
Fushiguro gumi’s [Nué], tottering from afar, ca flying in to stop Reiger, but soon its Summoning was dispelled, dissipating into a burst of black water.
This was because Fushiguro gumi was nearly losing consciousness, rendering the technique of [Ten Shadow Techniques] unsustainable, and the spell itself was unraveling.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Reiger paused at the perfect mont, pulling Fushiguro gumi and Zenin Maki out of the rifted ground before they lost consciousness, then tossing them out, respectively crashing into the soccer goal post and the once again targeted Kugisaki Nobara. The goal post shattered, and Kugisaki Nobara was sent rolling like a gourd for the second ti. When she stopped, her eyes were spinning, unable to even hold her hamr steadily.
Thus, Fushiguro gumi’s [Great Serpent], which was bitten and wounded all over by Reiger’s [Great Serpent], also had its Summoning dispelled, shattering into a shadow-like burst of black water.
The panda, too, after being entangled with Reiger’s [Jade Dog] for a while, was pinned to the ground by [Jade Dog]’s paw, losing its combat capability.
By the ti Reiger’s [Jade Dog], [Nué], and [Great Serpent] were dispelled, not a single one of Fushiguro gumi and his team of five could stand anymore.
Grade 1 Curse Mage, one.
Grade 2 Curse Mage, one.
Semi-Grade 2 Curse Mage, one.
Grade 3 Curse Mage, one.
Grade 4 Curse Mage, one.
The Tokyo tropolitan Magic Technical College’s first and second-year sorcerers of every grade were effortlessly wiped out.
Only Reiger remained standing, resembling the legendary Dark Lord, with an expression on his face as calm as ever.
......
At the sports field, in the corner.
Everyone gathered back here, but no one spoke.
Reiger half-knelt in front of Inumaki Toge, a finger pressed against his throat, continuously supplying Curse Energy.
However, unlike Curse Energy born from negative emotions, at this mont, the Curse Energy supplied by Reiger did not give off a negative, aggressive feeling. Instead, it was as gentle and pure as cleansed water, serene and holy.
Under the effect of this positive Curse Energy, Inumaki Toge could clearly feel his throat slowly nding.
"It’s done."
After a while, Reiger withdrew his Curse Energy and finger, speaking to Inumaki Toge.
"That should do it for your throat, senpai."
Upon hearing this, Inumaki Toge touched his throat, looking at Reiger with so amazent.
"Salmon."
Inumaki Toge nodded towards Reiger, seemingly expressing gratitude.
And upon hearing Inumaki Toge’s voice, everyone knew his throat was indeed healed.
"Is it healed so quickly?" The panda, regaining its round and chubby appearance, exclaid, "The precision of that Reverse Technique is amazing."
"Yeah." Fushiguro gumi, looking disheveled, had regained consciousness, and his injuries seed not too severe, prompting him to say in a low voice, "I didn’t expect he was so adept at the Reverse Technique."
The Reverse Technique is just a way of manipulating Curse Energy; even without a natural aptitude, it can be used to convert negative Curse Energy into positive, healing energy, capable of healing oneself or others.
But speaking of which, few people manage to achieve it.
The Reverse Technique is difficult to master, and the more one is accustod to utilizing Curse Energy to execute techniques, the harder it is to grasp the reversal of a technique.
Even soone as strong as Gojo Satoru took a long ti in his youth to grasp it and had to have a near-death experience to comprehend its use, eventually mastering its power.
And in the Magic Technical College, many can use techniques, but only a select few can use the Reverse Technique.
Especially those who can use the Reverse Technique to heal others; they are considered rare talents within the world of sorcery, esteed and protected, deed even more important and valuable than Grade 1 Curse Mages.
Like Gojo Satoru, although he mastered the Reverse Technique, he can only use it to heal himself and cannot use it to heal others.
Depending on one’s mastery of the Reverse Technique, so can only heal themselves, while others can heal others, so have excellent healing effects, and others perform poorly.
Reiger is an exceptional example of mastering the Reverse Technique; he can already heal others and seems to treat severe injuries with ease.
At the very least, Fushiguro gumi thought he might even be able to help soone regenerate a severed limb.
"Well then, now that the fight is over, let share my thoughts."
Reiger stood in front of everyone, looking at the soot-stained sorcerers around him, and said.
"I’ll give you so suggestions, but whether you follow them is up to you."
