"Boom!"
As the water surface reflecting the world surged violently, countless invisible massive slashes intertwined into a vast net, blocking all of Reiger’s escape routes.
Facing this all-encompassing attack, unless Reiger jumped out of the domain directly, it was impossible to avoid it.
"[Solution]!"
Realizing this, Reiger also activated the power of [Fushi Mogyu], forming thousands of invisible slashes around him, eting the incoming slashes from Sukuna.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ...
The clashes of slashes continuously canceled each other out, causing the water surface to surge even more violently.
"I knew you would block it."
At this mont, Sukuna suddenly flashed in front of Reiger, his hands striking out like mortars.
"Bang!"
Reiger reflexively raised his hands to block, triggering another close combat collision like many tis before, sparking a clash of Qi Force.
However, this ti, Sukuna’s combat mode underwent a change.
Suddenly, his striking fists turned into palms, grabbing Reiger’s hands from both sides, immobilizing him.
"[Solution]."
Then, Sukuna’s remaining hands pressed simultaneously on Reiger’s body, launching a slash attack.
"Boom!"
The slash again broke the water surface, sending countless splashes flying.
But this point-blank slash did not hit Reiger.
"Snap!"
With a belated snap of fingers, Reiger instantly vanished from his original position, escaping Sukuna’s control, and reappeared behind him.
"...!"
Sukuna’s pupils shrank, just about to react.
"[Don’t move.]"
A wave of curse energy accompanied the voice, landing on Sukuna.
Sukuna was imdiately bound by the power in the voice, unable to move.
"[Curse]...!"
Sukuna felt sothing terrible in his heart.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Crackle——"
As black sparks flickered, the fist Reiger pulled back behind him flared with a turbulent black power, fed by curse energy at an astonishing frequency.
"[Black Flash]!"
The pitch-black strike, like a thunder god’s lightning, roared and struck Sukuna’s back.
"Boom!!!"
A thunderous sound that could shake two domains resounded, causing the water surface reflecting the world to surge most violently.
Waves spread in all directions, while the black lightning snaked through them like a dragon.
Sukuna’s back was blown apart completely, becoming a bloody ss, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the shrine in his domain.
"Puff!"
Blood spurted from his mouth, and even the mouth on his abdon spouted blood, with visible fragnts of his insides mixed in, showing the severity of his injury.
Of course, Reiger didn’t feel too good either.
He only felt that the intense pain seed to worsen, causing him to feel a bit dizzy and light-headed.
"Your slashes... can actually wound the soul?"
Reiger seed to realize sothing, and his gaze toward Sukuna changed.
"Cough, cough..."
Sukuna coughed blood while supporting himself on the shrine, with smoke continuously rising from his back as it rapidly healed, nding his injuries.
"Did you think the only thod I prepared to deal with you was the Demonic Void?"
Sukuna showed a wild smile with blood stains on his face.
The slash that could strike the soul was a technique Sukuna had been devising ever since the battle in Shibuya.
Knowing that his slashes would be neutralized by Reiger’s unknown technique, Sukuna naturally had to consider a counterasure.
And his final idea was inspired by what Reiger did to him during the Shibuya battle.
Back then, Reiger, not wanting to kill Itadori Yuji, repeatedly used the [Inaction Transformation] technique on Sukuna to solve the problem.
So, Sukuna thought along the sa lines.
"Since attacks on the physical body are nullified, then I’ll target your soul."
Based on this thought, Sukuna developed a slash capable of touching the soul.
This wasn’t difficult for him to achieve.
Because he had existed as a soul body for a thousand years.
Ever since he died in the Heian era, until his revival in the modern day, even when inside Itadori Yuji, Sukuna existed in the form of a soul body.
In other words, he was not unfamiliar with the existence of souls, and he was very knowledgeable about the structure and form of their existence.
Moreover, he himself was an incredible genius; otherwise, he wouldn’t possess his current power.
In terms of talent, he might even surpass Gojo Satoru.
For example, the act of converting his power into a cursed object to transfer into another body for revival was sothing Sukuna would not have known before.
But because Knot helped him achieve this once, Sukuna saw through its mysteries, and ultimately managed it himself, thus abandoning Itadori Yuji’s body and transferring into Fushiguro gumi’s body.
Like this, most curses and techniques, Sukuna could usually uncover their secrets after seeing them once.
This talent allowed him to successfully develop this soul-wounding slash within just a month.
The technique was called —
"[Solution: Soul-breaking Blade]."
Sukuna, having healed the wound on his back, walked out of the shrine and stood before Reiger again.
"How is it? Did it give you a surprise?"
Though he said this, Sukuna was actually quite surprised himself.
