In response, Reiger simply reached out calmly, placing his hand imbued with Holy Light against the incoming large, snapping jaws.
"Zing!"
A brilliant light imdiately enveloped the cyborgs, whose mass explosively increased and transford into monstrous beings neither human nor ghost, purifying them.
The hideous mouths instantly disintegrated like ashes.
"Multiple..."
Holding a stack of cyborg puppets, Mahito was just about to launch another attack, delaying for ti and creating an opportunity to escape, when Reiger was already beside him in a flash.
"Slash!"
The next second, Mahito’s arm was violently torn off by Reiger.
Yes, it was torn off.
Before Mahito could react, Reiger had reached out, grabbed its arm, and tore it apart.
Countless cyborg puppets fell from that arm, then were purified by the Holy Light Reiger waved out.
"What a chance!"
Yet Mahito paid no heed to the seized cyborg puppets or even the lost arm. Seeing Reiger so close, it was delighted, and reached out at the fastest speed, attempting to touch Reiger.
As long as Mahito touched soone, it was tantamount to handing one’s life over to Mahito.
Anyone touched by Mahito would have their soul form altered through Mahito’s [Idle Transfiguration], transforming them into a cyborg at Mahito’s command. If Mahito chose not to transform them, it could dissolve their soul instantly, turning them to dust.
Thus, once touched by Mahito, the battle would conclude with its victory.
Unfortunately...
"Slash!"
The hand Mahito reached out with also quickly vanished.
Standing before it, Reiger rely stared coldly, seemingly without moving, yet in less than a tenth of a second, Mahito’s remaining hand was brutally torn off.
"Bang!"
Blood, a strange hue like sewage, splattered, and Reiger’s form slightly wavered as he punched through the blood spray, striking Mahito.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Following was a torrent of punches, dozens per second, stirring up gusts and shadows of fists, all landing on Mahito.
"Ahhhhhhh...!"
Mahito finally couldn’t hold back and scread in agony.
Amidst the splatter of blood and debris, armless, it was like a defenseless target, brutally ravaged by Reiger.
Reiger’s expression remained terrifyingly calm, yet his strikes were rciless, punching Mahito repeatedly, making it feel as if it were enduring countless shellings, the bombardnt penetrating deep into its soul, causing unbearable pain.
Reiger adhered to his promise, not allowing Mahito to die easily like Luohu and the others, coldly, violently, cruelly, and rcilessly tornting it, making it experience pain never felt before.
Originally, physical attacks couldn’t harm Mahito or cause it pain.
But Reiger’s attacks were different, not only infused with curse power and special abilities but also a subtle burning sensation emitted from his fists, releasing an almost imperceptible heat.
It was Sun Breathing.
Or rather, part of the power of Sun Breathing was manifested by Reiger in this way.
Sun Breathing not only purifies malevolence but also impairs regenerative abilities; when executed in certain sword styles, it can cause demons excruciating pain akin to being burned by flas.
At this mont, Reiger applied this power of Sun Breathing to his physical attacks, inflicting the sa suffering on Mahito.
For the current Reiger, this was not a difficult feat.
Even Breath of Wind incorporates martial techniques, and Reiger rely referenced Breath of Wind, showcasing the power of Sun Breathing through martial arts.
And this was Mahito’s nightmare.
"Bang!"
A heavy punch landed on Mahito’s face, deforming it completely.
Covered in blood, Mahito was once again sent flying, crashing against the blood-colored cage, shaking it violently.
Had it struck a wall, it would probably have smashed through dozens of walls, breaking out of the subway station to the surface.
"Pfft...! Cough cough...!"
Armless and covered in concave marks, Mahito slid down from the blood-red cage, fell to the ground, blood gushing uncontrollably from his mouth.
That condition could no longer be described as miserable.
"Does it hurt?"
Reiger slowly approached Mahito, speaking as he did.
"Compared to those you abused and killed wantonly, this little pain should be nothing, right?"
"It’s not over yet."
"First, destroy your body, then destroy your spirit and soul. Once you’re of no use, I have a gift for you."
It’s obvious that the so-called gift would be nothing pleasant.
At least, for Mahito, definitely not.
"..."
Mahito’s body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Reiger’s steps didn’t stop, continuing to draw closer.
At that instant, Mahito suddenly lifted its head.
Reiger’s steps abruptly stopped.
He saw it.
Saw Mahito, raising its head, opening its mouth wide toward him.
From that mouth, small arms grew out, forming a technique.
"Domain Expansion."
Mahito’s hysterical yet cunning voice echoed in the ruins.
"[Self-sealing Sphere]!"
Imdiately—
Darkness descended.
...
Domain Expansion.
This was the manifestation of a technique through the vast expenditure of cursed energy, creating a constructed domain in one’s surroundings.
As the pinnacle of jujutsu battles, the ultimate in sorcery, Domain Expansion is a power every Curse Mage dreams of.
Including Grade 1 Curse Mages, many mages strive relentlessly to master Domain Expansion, hoping to ascend to the peak of jujutsu battles and beco one of the strongest in the world of sorcery.
However, the Curse Mages who master Domain Expansion are few and far between.
Not only because it’s challenging to master, but also because the cursed energy consumption to deploy Domain Expansion is overwhelmingly vast.
Ordinary Curse Mages simply do not possess that much cursed energy, rendering them unable to execute Domain Expansion even if they have the skill.
Conversely, the Curse Spirits, inherently ford from condensed cursed energy, naturally can construct domains.
Both the special-grade Curse Spirit at the juvenile center and the fly Curse Spirit Reiger eliminated could construct their own domains.
Yet, they could only create incomplete domains, incapable of embedding techniques, unable to form true constructed domains.
Such domains could rely trap enemies, serving as their territory, lacking the various effects of constructed domains.
Otherwise, even Reiger would have to expend considerable effort to eliminate these two special-grade Curse Spirits.
Generally speaking, special-grade Curse Spirits all have the ability to expand domains, though most are incomplete domains.
But Mahito differently.
Naturally exceptional, these four Curse Spirits, full of intelligence and wit, all mastered Domain Expansion.
The coastal area they previously held as a base was actually Dagon’s constructed domain.
Both Luohu and Hanami could expand domains, too.
Regrettably, none of these three Curse Spirits, including Dagon, had a chance to expand their domain, being instantly killed by Reiger.
Mahito naturally knew Domain Expansion as well.
Thanks to that, realizing escape was impossible, it chose to use its last resort.
[Self-sealing Sphere], this was Mahito’s constructed domain.
Upon deploying this domain, the dense cursed energy forming the domain transford into a barrier, encompassing the entire interior of the blood-colored cage.
A massive, circular black sphere appeared within the blood-red cage’s ruins, suspended in mid-air.
Within the massive sphere, as if endless darkness was pouring out, Mahito, grinning maliciously, appeared there, with countless arms sprouting from its back.
"It’s over!"
Mahito’s voice echoed within the domain.
"Die!"
At this mont, the power capable of twisting a soul descended upon Reiger.
