A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1329

"Kugizaki..."

Looking at Nobara Kugisaki falling in front of him, Xuanhao was slightly stunned.

The defeat in the Battle of Kosho, the tragic deaths of many civilians at the hands of Sukuna, and the death of Nanami Tateto.

“No… No… Kugisaki…”

Xuanhao's psychological endurance has reached its limit.

"I am trembling with admiration for my own talent!!"

Looking at Xuan Hao in despair, Zhenren grinned excitedly.

"Hehe, I...!! Only I can be called a true 'curse'!!"

He grinned and rushed towards Xuan Hao, swinging his fist.

The cursed power lingered on the fist, flashing with black light.

Black flash!!!

Black sparks treat everyone equally.

"Anyway, it's nothing more than imagining yourself as someone who is expelling 'pests'!!"

A real black flash hit Xuan Hao.

Xuanhao's figure flew backwards.

However, his attack was not over yet.

As he spoke, the black light flashed again.

"Or exorcise demons like the old legends!!"

"How dare you come to Shibuya with that little knowledge?!"

"Too outrageous! Brat!!"

“This is a war!!”

"It's not a war to correct wrongs!! It's a fight to impose one's own justice on the other!! Shallow justice!!"

"You're the same as me!"

"I can kill people without a second thought! And you don't think about anything, you just save people!"

“This is the dignity earned by our instincts and human reason!!”

"This war will determine who will rule the world after 100 years!!"

As he was speaking, Xuan Hao had been completely knocked to the ground by the real person.

"How can a guy who doesn't even understand this truth dream of defeating me?"

"Xuanhao, let me ask you, have you ever counted how many cursed spirits you have removed?"

"You haven't counted them?"

"Me too~~"

"How many people have you killed with your own hands? This little thing is not worth mentioning. Sooner or later, I will forget that you have ever existed!"

As he spoke, Zhenren's arm began to transform into a mantis-like sickle, ready to reap Xuanhao's life.

However, when he swung the sickle, he accidentally missed.

Xuanhao's figure disappeared in front of him.

Then, a calm voice was heard from not far away.

"The sound of the bells at Jetavana Monastery speaks of the impermanence of the world."

"The twin sal trees have lost their color, and the flourishing ones have turned sad like the vicissitudes of life. Except!! Except us."

I saw Dongtang Aoi standing upright in the distance, adjusting his clothes with a bright smile on his face, and Xuanhao, who he had rescued, lying beside him.

"what happened……?"

The real person looked at this scene in confusion and felt extremely puzzled.

"This man has a scar on his face!! The scar just changed its position!! He is the magician who forced Hanamiya into a desperate situation!!"

"Senior Toudou!!"

Not only Toudou came, but also a first-year student at Kyoto High School, Nitta Arata.

"I've already dealt with that girl over there. But she's probably dead, so don't put the blame on me when the time comes."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll leave Xuanhao to you."

Toudou Aoi asked calmly.

Then he turned to look at Xuan Hao and shouted loudly.

"Wake up! Xuanhao! Our battle is just about to begin!"

"Dongtang..."

Xuan Hao opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

"I can't... fight anymore... Kugisaki is dead... Even Nanami seems to be dead too."

"Nanaha, the first-level magician, is dead!?" Nitta Shimbun was extremely shocked.

"Sukuna killed so many people, so... I told myself... I must save more and more people." Xuan Hao continued, "But I failed... What a failure."

"Because you live, someone else has to die! You're so quiet, I can't hear you!!"

Zhenren smiled excitedly and rushed towards Xuanhao again.

However, the next moment, he was surprised to find that his position suddenly changed, and the attack naturally missed.

"!!"

And the next moment, Todou Aoi's kick came behind him.

boom--

With a loud noise, the ground cracked, and the real person's figure hit the ground and bounced out violently, which shows how powerful this attack was.

"Huh!?"

Arata Shin watched this scene in horror, feeling extremely thrilling.

Because just now Toudou Aoi exchanged his position with Zhenren, and the direction Zhenren was flying from happened to be his position!

  If I get touched by this guy, I'm doomed!

Fortunately, at this time, applause rang out again, and his position with Zhenren was exchanged again by Toudou Aoi.

"Ha ha!!"

After the real person came to his senses, he looked at the scene in surprise.

"Interesting!! I never thought that even if I understood the principle, I would be so confused by this trick!?"

"Xuanhao... a man like you shouldn't look down on yourself." Toudou Aoi said as a matter of course. "We are sorcerers. You and I!! Kugisaki! Mr. Nanami!! And all our friends!! All of us are sorcerers!!"

"As long as we are alive, our friends who have sacrificed themselves have not lost!!"

"This has nothing to do with crime and punishment! From the moment we choose to become sorcerers, our lives are no longer limited to cause and effect."

“To find the meaning and reason for the death of a fallen person is sometimes a blasphemy to the dead!! But despite this, I still want to ask you!!”

"What kind of legacy do you carry?"

"..."

Faced with such a question, Xuan Hao was silent for a moment.

But Toudou Aoi continued: "You don't need to give an answer immediately, but... you must not give up until you find the answer. This is the minimum punishment for all those who live as sorcerers."

As he spoke, Toudou Aoi rushed out first.

"I have already cast my spell on you. Listen carefully, Xuanhao-san."

Xin Tianxin quickly took this opportunity to come to Xuanhao and perform the spell on him.

"The injuries you had previously sustained will not get any worse. Although they are not healed, the bleeding has stopped and the pain will be alleviated. However, this only applies to the existing injuries."

"If you continue to take the attack, the wounds will increase. My technique is ineffective against those things!!"

"And I did the same thing to that girl over there."

"!!" Xuanhao was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Although her breathing and pulse have stopped, it hasn't been long. The possibility of saving her is not zero. I will take her away from the battlefield."

Arata Arata said seriously. "But it's just that the possibility is not zero!!"

As he said this, he ran and prepared to evacuate.

"I advise you not to hold out too much hope!!"

"……Um!!"

Xuanhao nodded seriously after hearing this.

It's better to have a glimmer of hope than to be completely hopeless.

  ···········

On the other side, Zhenren was being fooled by Toudou Aoi.

In applause.

Whenever he was about to touch Toudou Aoi, Toudou Aoi would always cleverly dodge him.

"What? Why don't you touch me?"

Toudou Aoi clapped and mocked.

The real person felt extremely gloomy.

"He's a master... He kept his distance from the damn Xuan Hao while dodging my attacks..."

But on the surface he still pretended to be relaxed: "That's not the only trick I have."

As he said this, he used his magical power to attract the modified doll that fell behind Toudou Aoi, and launched an attack that was sure to hit the target.

Todou Aoi made a dodgy move.

And watching his actions, the real person grinned.

“Want to hide? Come on!! Change position!! How can I deal with you sneaking by? I will definitely hit you this time!! I want to use Black Flash again…!! I feel like I am just a little bit away from touching!! The essence of my soul!!”

However, just as he was about to attack Todou Aoi, applause rang out again.

He was stunned.

As the voice fell, the person in front of him was no longer Toudou Aoi, but Xuan Hao, who was already ready to punch.

The fist wrapped in cursed energy swung towards him mercilessly, flashing black light.

  Black flash!!

With one blow, the real person's arm was instantly shattered and the whole person flew backwards.

But he quickly righted himself, grinning as he recovered from his arm injury.

"He looks like he's dying, how can he still move?"

"Tear--"

He was answered by the sound of Todou Aoi ripping off her shirt and preparing to go all out.

"Welcome back." Dongtang Aoi greeted Xuanhao with a smile.

"Thank you!!"

Xuanhao thanked him seriously and was also ready to give his all.

  ···········

On the Shinkansen heading to Tokyo.

Miwa Kasumi held the puppet left by Mechanical Maru in her hand, looking silent and extremely sad.

"The outcome is almost decided. There's no point in rushing to Shibuya now."

Mechanical Pill persuaded.

"Go back. Three wheels."

"Why did you only notify Senior Todou and Nitta-san..." Miwa asked softly.

"Because I judge that even in Shibuya, Toudou will not die 99% of the time. The same goes for Nitta who is traveling with us. His technique will come in handy there."

"Then I!!"

Listening to Mechanical Maru's words, Miwa Kasumi suddenly became excited, but soon her voice became weak again.

"I am just... a useless piece of trash?"

"…The situation this time is completely beyond imagination. It is not in the same dimension as the battles we have experienced in the past." Mechanical Maru explained, "Not only you, but also Mayi, Kamo, Nishimiya, and Kaguya. I made some arrangements in advance so that everyone would be assigned to carry out the mission south of Kyoto on the 31st."

"...Why have I never heard you mention this?" asked Kasumi Miwa. "Why didn't you come to discuss this with me? Aren't we partners? Because I'm too weak?"

"No, I'm the weak one." Mechanical Maru replied, "Because I'm weak, I chose the wrong method. And because I'm weak, I didn't make the mistake to the end. I have someone I love very much. No matter what this world becomes, as long as I can be by her side and protect her, it's enough. Although perhaps the knight who protects her by her side, as she hopes in her heart, is not me."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sanlun Xia silently shed tears and simply hugged the puppet in her hand.

"Time's up, Miwa," Mechamaru said regretfully.

"don't want!!"

"Goodbye."

"Don't say goodbye to me!!"

"Miwa. You must be happy." Mechanical Maru gave his last blessing to his beloved. "No matter what form it takes, as long as you are happy, it means that my wish has come true."

The sound stopped abruptly at this moment.

Miwa Kasumi couldn't help crying softly.

In another carriage, An Geji and others looked solemn.

"Teacher Utahime, regarding what Mechanical Maru did..." Zenin Shinei asked hesitantly.

"No further investigation." An Geji lowered her head and said in a low voice, "He has already passed away."

"I never thought that in his eyes, we are so useless." Kamo Kenji sighed, "That guy, Mechamaru."

"I said, 'Dongtang won't die over there, but our lives will be in danger if we go there', I don't care at all."

Nishimiya Momo said expressionlessly, "But any bastard who dares to make my lovely schoolmate cry will be killed without mercy."

  ···········

On the other side, Xuanhao and Dongtang Kui's battle against Zhenren continues.

With Xuan Hao's joining, it seems to become easier for Dongtang Aoi to suppress Zhenren.

After all, Xuan Hao will not be affected by the real person's magic, and can act as a meat shield to block most attacks.

The two figures kept intertwining under Todo Aoi's applause, and gradually, the real person fell into a disadvantage.

"The soul of that gorilla with a bun is still full. I wonder if I can get rid of him in one go now?"

The real person was not sure he could kill Toudou Aoi instantly.

"Xuanhao's soul is probably only about 10% left..."

"And I only have 4% of my soul left...!!"

"The clone was destroyed. The continuous fierce attacks just now and the black flash consumed too much of my soul. And all this is thanks to that woman!!"

When he thought of this, the real person felt extremely angry.

"It's just a small fish, I didn't expect it would hurt so much to catch it!"

"First we need to solve this tricky position conversion!!"

As he spoke, the real person threw out a transformed doll.

At the same time, he attacked Toudou Aoi.

However, his slash inexplicably hit the transformed doll he threw out.

Only then did he realize that this man's technique could even allow him to swap positions with inanimate objects!

He can even capture the cursed energy of the transformed humans before they were released...!?

On the other side, Toudou Aoi was also roaring in her heart.

If that's enough to satisfy you, then you and I are no longer close friends.

This cursed spirit has also successfully used Black Flash... and now I'm the one being left behind.

  Xuanhao has become stronger, are you willing to fall behind!? Toudou Aoi!!

Are you going to leave Xuanhao alone again!? Toudou Aoi!!

With this thought in mind, Toudou Aoi's kick was accompanied by a black flash.

  Black flash!!

However, even when hit by such a black flash, the real person did not retreat at all. He blocked it head-on with a calm smile on his face.

Todou Aoi is different from Xuanhao who has Sukuna in his body.

"No matter how many times you deliver a powerful blow... Black Flash, it won't hurt the soul at all! Your attacks are meaningless to me!!"
