A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

After saying goodbye to Kuroi Satomi, Geto Suguru continued to move forward with Tennen Riko and arrived at the main hall deep inside.

"Is this the place?" Tenriko asked, slightly stunned as she looked at the building in front of her that was built around a huge tree.

"Correct."

Xia Youjie nodded slightly and explained, "This is the foundation of the main barrier in the country under the feet of Master Tianyuan."

As he spoke, he pointed to a staircase in the building and said, "You have to go down this staircase, pass through a door, and go all the way to the root of the tree. That place is different from the barrier surrounding the high school. It is the inner side of another special barrier. Only those who have been summoned can be allowed to enter. Before the call, Master Tianyuan will protect you."

"Or you can still turn around now and go home with Miss Kuroi."

"……what?"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Tenriko was slightly stunned.

"When our homeroom teacher introduced this mission to us, he used the word 'erasure' instead of 'assimilation'," explained Xia Youjie calmly. "He was hinting that we should realize that this is actually a sin. Although our homeroom teacher is simple-minded and strong-limbed, he often does things in a roundabout way. I talked to Wu about this before I met you."

"What if the astral imp refuses to assimilate?"

"Then cancel assimilation!!"

"Haha. Is that ok?"

"What?"

"That means we may have to go to war with Lord Tianyuan, right?"

"Are you scared, kid? It doesn't matter, things will work out when the time comes."

"We are the strongest."

"These are the original words of that guy." At this point, Xia Youjie smiled, "So, no matter what choice you make, sister Riko, we can guarantee your future."

"……I……"

Tenriko said sadly.

"Since I was born, I have been reminded that I am an Astral Plasma, and that I am different. For me, the identity of an Astral Plasma has long been commonplace. I try to stay away from all possible dangers and live only for today."

"I don't remember the circumstances of my parents' death. So I don't feel sad or lonely."

"So, I thought that even if I had to be separated from Daemon forever due to assimilation, it would be okay."

“No matter how painful it is, there will always be a day when you forget the sadness and loneliness.”

"...But, but as expected..."

"I still want to continue to be with you all..."

“I want to go to more different places with everyone and see more new things.”

“…I really want to!!”

"Go back, Sister Riko." Hearing this, Geto Suguru sighed, smiled and stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him.

"Um……"

The girl smiled and stretched out her hand in response.

But at this moment...

boom--

Gunfire rang out.

The bullet mercilessly pierced through Tenriko's brain, right in front of Geto Suguru.

"Sister Riko?"

Xia Yujie's pupils shrank sharply and he watched the girl fall in front of him in disbelief.

"Okay~ You've worked hard! Let's go home."

Came the man's teasing voice.

Xia Youjie turned his head and looked over.

The man who was supposed to be fighting with Gojo Satoru appeared at the end of the approach road at some point, holding a pistol in his hand and grinning.

"Why are you here?"

"Why... Oh, is that what you mean?" The man scratched his head and grinned, "Because I have killed Gojo Satoru."

"Is it……"

Geto Suguru's face was extremely gloomy, and he summoned his strongest curse spirit without hesitation.

"go to hell."

However, the man didn't take his threat seriously at all, and looked up at everything here as if he was sightseeing.

"This place and Jiku are within a hidden barrier, so there are no guards at the entrance. As long as you know the location of the door, you can enter as if there is no one there."

"At this time, magicians become very busy. Plus, the high school is full of flies, and the outside world is already a mess."

"To them, I am like a transparent person without my magical powers."

"But there is a problem. When I pick up the cursed tool, the cursed power of the tool will make me no longer invisible."

Fushiguro Shiji grinned.

He raised the muzzle of his gun, aimed at the dragon-shaped cursed spirit that was rushing towards him, and fired.

"Don't worry."

Of course, bullets don't have much effect on cursed spirits.

Fushiguro Shigeki dropped his gun and dodged the attack.

"I continued."

"I raised a cursed spirit that can store items, put the cursed tools in it, and carry them with me."

"Don't tell anyone else, or I will no longer be transparent next time because of the cursed power of the cursed spirit."

As he spoke, he spat out a ball of meat.

"I asked the cursed spirit to shrink its own body and reduce its size. Then I put it into my stomach."

"The internal organs of the Invisible Man are naturally transparent, right? This way I can carry all kinds of cursed tools and walk in and out of the barrier with open arms."

As he spoke, the curse had already grown larger and wrapped around Fushiguro Shinobu.

"That's why I didn't use a cursed tool right from the start. If the opponent wants to sneak attack the Six Eyes, it would be meaningless if he can't remain transparent, so I used an ordinary sword to pierce Gojo Satoru."

"Or we can kill the Astral Plasma first, but that would put it in the sight of the Six Eyes, so the risk is still..."

"enough."

Xia Yujie said in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

He didn't want to hear the man brag about how successful he was.

"You are Tian Yu Ju Fu, right? I know that you are just like us magicians, and you increase the power of your skills by revealing your information. But that's not what I want to know! How did you find the door leading to here? We didn't leave any residue behind!!"

"The traces left by human filth are more than just remnants of filth." Fushiguro Shigeji smiled as a matter of course.

"And the smell, the footprints... the curse also greatly enhanced my five senses."

"You should have met a woman on the way here. How is she?" Xia Yujie continued to ask with a gloomy face.

"Hmm? Oh, the maid?"

Fushiguro Shier replied nonchalantly, "She's probably dead, right? I didn't care whether she lived or died when I attacked her. If we're lucky, maybe she's still alive?"

"Really? As expected, you'd better die soon."

As Geto Suguru said this, he waved his hand again, and the dragon-shaped cursed spirit pounced towards Fushiguro Shinobu.

However, facing Fushiguro Shigeuchi who already had the cursed tool in his hand, the huge cursed spirit had no advantage in front of him.

puff--

In just a moment, the entire dragon was cut in half by Fushiguro Shinobu.

"!"

  Xia Youjie was slightly stunned. Cut in half?

That's the Rainbow Dragon, which has the highest hardness among all the cursed spirits I have! ?

"The Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique... a mob."

Fushiguro Shigeji grinned and looked at Geto Suguru with disdain.

However, just as he was being arrogant, a sudden voice sounded behind him.

"Hey."

"Am I, am I, am I, beautiful?"

"..."

Fushiguro Shiji turned around in confusion and looked at a figure that looked like a woman with her entire face covered with bandages and long hair.

You can vaguely see ferocious eyes under the thick long hair, the face under the bandage is also extremely ferocious, and there are sharp fangs in the mouth.

But Fushiguro Shier was not afraid at all: "Alas - I can't help it. If you insist, this is not my type."

"Click——"

All I heard was a snapping sound.

Fushiguro Shigeki was slightly stunned.

His ears were bleeding as if they had been cut by an invisible pair of scissors.

It was the cursed spirit in front of him that was squeezing the scissors in his hand.

"I see."

He quickly understood that this should be the ability of this cursed spirit.

However, he was not too anxious and slowly pulled out a dagger from the mouth of the storage curse spirit that was wrapped around his body.

This is the dagger used against Gojo Satoru.

The dagger was swung, and the curse was forcibly lifted.

At this moment, Geto Suguru took the opportunity to get behind him.

"ended."

Fushiguro Shigeki felt a little bored about this.

"Idiot... you actually took the initiative to move into my attack range. How boring."

"It's you who should end it."

Unexpectedly, Geto Xiayou's purpose of approaching was not to attack him, but to attack the storage curse spirit that was entangled in him!

"!!"

Fushiguro Shijiro reacted.

The art of spell manipulation.

A technique that allows you to take subdued cursed spirits and manipulate them for your own use.

When the class difference is more than 2 levels according to the class conversion, the surrender step can be omitted, and the curse spirit can be obtained almost unconditionally.

Although this storage curse spirit has special abilities, it is not very strong and can be obtained directly! !

As Xia Youjie stretched out his hand, the cursed spirit was gradually attracted to him.

"Success! The weapons depot has been controlled. Next, we have to rely on a large number of cursed spirits to suppress it by force—"

Just as Geto Xiayou was thinking this.

boom--

His arm was ejected.

"What……!?"

The storage curse spirit spit out a knife again.

Fushiguro Shiori grinned, drew his sword, held both swords in his hands, and slashed across Geto Suguru's chest.

"puff--"

A hideous cross-shaped wound appeared on Geto Suguru's chest, and blood splattered everywhere.

"I controlled the force. The sorcerer can't die."

Fushiguro Shigeu kicked the injured Geto Suguru away.

He continued calmly.

"If you were just a shikigami user, I would have killed you. I didn't expect you to be a curse spirit user. I really don't know what would happen to the curse spirits in your hands if you died. It's better not to make things complicated. You are really blessed by your parents."

"But you, who are blessed by God, were defeated by a wild monkey like me who can't even cast a spell."

"If you want to live a long life, don't forget what happened today."

  ···········

The headquarters of Panxing Sect, the home of the Son of Star.

"for you."

Fushiguro Shigeki, who arrived here, threw Tenriko's body to the client and said lightly.

"The remains of Tenriko in the astral plasma body are intact."

"Yeah. It is."

After checking it out, Pansei Cult's legal representative, Shigeru Sonoda, laughed and said, "The remuneration will be paid as agreed. In addition, I will give you some bonuses."

"As expected of the Patriarch, you are so generous." Fushiguro Shigeki smiled and flattered.

"It's not the Patriarch." The middleman on the side was speechless. "Are you sure? Although it is necessary funds, we have already received a lot of financial assistance from you. I thought we would be deducted money."

"We commissioned you to kill someone in the hope of saving the situation." Sonoda Shigeru chuckled and explained, "The origin of the Bankei Sect can be traced back to the Nara period. At first, while promoting and developing Japanese Buddhism, Lord Tengen advocated that sorcerers follow moral standards."

"However, the relationship between the magic world and religious legal entities is extremely bad. From this twisted relationship, the current Panxing Church Soul Jade Meeting emerged."

"So we have always upheld the position of non-magicians. Mages who are allowed to exceed their authority will not, in principle, attack non-magicians."

"But it still happened. The taboos clearly recorded in the scriptures!! The Panxing Sect has developed into an absolute monotheistic religion!! The object of our faith, Master Tianyuan, is actually going to assimilate with the astral plasma!!"

"If we allow assimilation to proceed in front of the believers, the church will have difficulty maintaining itself. But if we go too far, we will be destroyed by the magicians."

"Honestly, we're really at our wits' end."

"So what? What would have been lost is now in your hands."

"Then it's time to break the bank."

“If Lord Tianyuan loses control because of this, the entire human society might be unable to survive?” The middleman laughed.

"If I can fall with the stars, I'll leave it to fate."

Shigeru Sonoda said this disapprovingly, then he carried the corpse of the Astral Plasma away from the two of them.

"..."

The remaining two looked at each other speechlessly.

"You just mentioned the assistance of the Pansei Cult, are you referring to the incident in Okinawa?" Fushiguro asked. "Why didn't you kill the maid at that time?"

"Yes." The middleman nodded and then explained, "Because I had some understanding of your plan at that time, and I thought that the relaxation after successfully rescuing the maid would be more effective in 'weakening' them than the tension caused by the failed rescue."

"And don't we often flexibly change the orders given by our superiors to conceal our true purpose?"

"It turned out pretty good."

"But why did you choose Okinawa? Generally, people would choose to transport kidnapped hostages by car, right? Public transportation is too risky."

"I was also amused when I heard it. Guess what? They actually used the chairman's private jet. Even if they had one, they shouldn't have used it like this, right? Rich people really do think differently."

"Let's use the money to eat. Take me to the restaurant where you entertain guests." Fushiguro Shigejiro grinned.

"I don't want it." The agent refused decisively, "You don't know how to treat a man to a meal. Apart from work and going to hell together, I don't want to have anything else to do with you."

With that, the mission was completed and the two went their separate ways. (End of this chapter)
