A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"What are you thinking about!?"

Looking at Zenin Maki who was gradually being completely enveloped by the field, Kamo Kenki asked in confusion.

"I've been thinking too much. Let me go relax for a bit."

Zenin Maki responded calmly, then disappeared from everyone's sight.

After entering the field of sumo, she began to think.

"What is it that I still haven't been able to figure out?"

Thinking this way, the two of them soon became entangled with each other.

But soon, she was easily knocked down by the Three Generations Sixty-four.

Enjoying the fun brought by sumo, Sandai Rokushi-shi laughed happily: "Sumo is the best! But, little girl, your strength is more than that, right? I knew it at the beginning. If it was a head-on fight, I'm afraid I would be in danger. Tell me. Why can't you concentrate? What are you thinking about?"

Zenin Maki had no one she could call a master.

It wasn't that she refused to do so, nor was it that she was arrogant. It was just that she had never thought of relying on others to become stronger.

But at this moment, she still expressed her doubts to the man in front of her.

"I see. You don't understand what the samurai said." Upon hearing this, Sandaime Rokushi-shi immediately understood what confused Zenin Maki.

"I understand." Zenin Maki said unconvinced.

"stand up."

The man did not refute, nor did he care, but spoke calmly.

"Let's wrestle sumo. It's the only way I know how to get the message across."

Soon, the two started sumo wrestling again.

"You're too imprisoned, little girl."

"? ...By what?"

"Yourself... your opponent... your curse... to put it bluntly, it's 'people'..."

The two talked to each other while immersed in the battle.

"But... isn't that what sumo is all about?"

"That's right. One on one in the middle of a circular field, a fierce collision of bodies and souls between two people. This is 'communication'... However, although people are in the circle, life is ultimately made up of things outside the circle."

"If you want to fully understand a person standing in the sumo ring, you must step out of this circle. Of course, you can't really step out, otherwise you will lose."

"……Ah."

"When you collide fiercely, you can convey to each other everything in your life before you stepped onto the sumo ring. It's like smelling the sun with your nose, seeing the sound with your eyes, and using everything you have to experience the other person. When you can do this, the body of the person in front of you and the victory or defeat are meaningless."

"That's what the samurai meant... that is, 'freedom'."

"The rest is up to you to experience for yourself."

"Let's sumo wrestle!"

···········
When the domain was broken, Zenin Maki appeared in front of everyone again with a calm smile on her face.

“Excellent form!”

Kamo Kenji looked at her in confusion.

It was clearly a completely different person from before!! What on earth happened in such a short period of time?
Dadaogang was also very curious about this.

It was like she was reborn! What did that kappa-like man do to her?
"awesome!"

The only one who responded was Sandai Rokushishi who was satisfied with sumo.

Although he lost, he accepted the defeat with conviction.

"Sumo is the best!"

The barrier of the third generation eliminated the element of restraint. Therefore, the speed of time in the area was much faster than that in the outside world.

The two of them fought for thousands of sumo matches, but less than a minute passed outside the barrier.

"So? So what!?"

Looking at Zenin Maki, whose condition suddenly became unusually good, Zenin Naoya still looked down on her.

boom--

He suddenly disappeared from the spot, rushed straight into the sky, and began to accelerate.

"!"

Looking at this scene, Kamo Kenji's expression slightly condensed.

"Speed ​​up and increase the distance!! He is still planning to use the same trick as before...!!"

But Da Dao Gang and the Third Generation Sixty-Four didn't care about it at all.

"I haven't cut enough yet."

"I haven't had enough yet."

"Two people teaming up?" Looking at the two people standing together as if they were ready to fight Zenin Naoya together, Kamo Kenji was slightly stunned, "Aren't they players who just took on the body not long ago?"

"Who are you?"

"?" In response to this question, the third generation sixty-four typed a question mark.

"I don't know." Da Daogang said directly.

"It's not worth mentioning who I am."

"Yes."

The two people have the same idea, which is extremely pure.

"As long as I have the knife in my hand, I can kill whatever I want to kill. Who I am can be decided by others."

"I want to continue sumo wrestling with the little girl~ Samurai!! Do you want to compete with me?"

"No. Now is not the time for nonsense."

Da Dao Gang complained as he looked at Zenin Maki who had already rushed out.

"It's all because of this brat trying to strike up a conversation, but that girl got the upper hand."

“Tsk~~~~” The third generation sixty-four also curled his lips slightly when he saw this.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of explosions continued to come from a distance.

"Why!?"

The more Zenin Naoya pursues Zenin Maki, the more unbelievable it becomes.

"I obviously have the absolute advantage in speed!!! But why can't I catch her!?"

The two chased each other in the city, and all the buildings were destroyed wherever they passed.

But the situation is completely different.

Compared to Zenin Naoya who was becoming more and more irritable, Zenin Maki seemed extremely calm and seemed to be enjoying it.

"!!"

Zenin Maki was seen jumping down from the roof, letting her body fall freely.

"Everything around me will convey Naoya's actions to me. Everyone can see the curse, but I have to use special eyes to see it. Because of Shinji, I have the body I have now. Even if I didn't, I can still see the curse now."

"I am very satisfied. I am finally the same as everyone else."

"If it were that person, he could also reach that level."

"If it was that person, he would have thrown the knife without hesitation."

"If it's that person, he can definitely catch up with that speed."

"Like everyone else, it's not enough."

"There must be something that only I can see, that only that person can see."

"You are dead!!"

Looking at Zenin Maki who was freely falling in the air with no foothold, Zenin Naoya roared and rushed over.

"!?"

But the strange thing was that Zenin Maki actually changed her trajectory in mid-air and avoided his impact.

"Dodge in mid-air?? What the hell is that!!!"

Zenin Naoya was completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"Nothing surprising. The air surrounding us also has different 'faces' due to differences in temperature and density."

Zenin Maki chuckled.

"I want to catch these 'noodles'!!"

The next moment, her figure appeared in the path of Zenin Naoya's movement and she swung her fist.

"!?"Bang--

Zenin Naoya was blown away and couldn't believe it: "I am a cursed spirit!!! This punch without any curse power will not have any effect no matter how many times I get hit!!"

However, he did not notice that there were two people waiting for him at the place where he fell.

It is the three generations of sixty-four, and the great road of steel.

boom--

The next moment, before he could react, he was knocked away by the Third Generation Sixty-Four, and then fell right under the knife of Da Daogang.

puff--

His body was easily cut into pieces by the cursed weapon again.

At this time, Zenin Maki also fell down and kicked the half of his body that was cut off.

Suddenly, his body split into two.

"How can it be……"

"How is it possible? How is it possible? How is it possible? How is it possible?!"

"Why--"

Zenin Naoya's tone was full of disbelief and anger.

He seemed to see the man who once frightened him so much standing in front of him, his figure overlapping that of Zenin Maki.

"The one who should be standing there is me!!"

puff--

The cursed spirit's body was torn apart by a pair of hands, revealing the human-shaped half of Zenin Naoya.

"The field is expanding!!! The Moon Palace!"

His stubbornness blossomed at this moment.

The domain instantly enveloped everyone, and the surrounding environment became as strange as a palace built of flesh and blood.

Da Daogang and the Third Generation Sixty-Four were a little confused, as if they were hit by something.

But nothing unusual happened.

"!?"

"He made a mistake in his move?"

"No matter what, I'm going to attack! His death is imminent!!"

Thinking of this, both of them prepared to continue the attack.

However, before they could move, their bodies were torn apart at the same time, and blood spurted out everywhere.

"What?"

"This is the first time you two have fought against me."

Zenin Naoya laughed and looked at the two people standing frozen not far away.

"Anyone I touch must make the same move as me, or they will be frozen for one second."

"In this area, the target of the surgery seems to be refined. Every cell will become the target of the surgery. As long as you move, if the movement of each cell is slightly deviated, hehe~ it will become like this."

boom--

Unable to hold on, the Three Generations Sixty-Four fell to the ground.

"Well, it's a great field, right?" Zenin Naoya asked with a smile, watching the scene with satisfaction. "I'm also in a very good mood."

As he spoke, he looked around for it.

"Where's little Maki? Where the hell is she? I still can't detect her whereabouts."

"..."

The next moment, Zenin Naoya realized something was wrong and the smile on his face gradually froze.

"No, this is so weird!! This is my territory!? Even if she is like Shijiru, without any cursed energy, it is impossible for me not to sense her location!!"

Just when he was wondering, Da Daogang, who had not fallen, came to him, enduring the pain of his body being torn apart.

"I'm thinking about something, stop making trouble!"

puff--

The arm that swung the knife was torn apart in an instant.

The cursed tool was flying and about to land.

But at this moment, he grinned.

puff--

A pair of hands appeared without warning behind Zenin Naoya, grabbed the fallen cursed weapon, and pierced through his body with one blow.

Zenin Maki and Shinji have no cursed energy at all, and when it comes to barrier techniques, their existence is equivalent to building me.

Unless a real object is used as the shell of the barrier, as Fushiguro Megumi demonstrated in the Tokyo First Barrier, or the barrier is invaded with the person's consent, or against his or her will, it is impossible to seal Maki with the domain.

Before this moment, she was not in the area at all, so Zenin Naoya certainly could not detect her.

Also.

The sword that Mayu left behind is a replica of the cursed weapon 'Soul Release Sword'.

It can ignore the hardness of all objects and cut into souls.

However, in order to fully exert its effect, one needs to have a pair of eyes that can even observe the souls of inanimate objects.

And at this moment, Zenin Maki finally possesses this ability.

"Idiot! Trash! If you fail to kill me with one strike, you will be the one to die!!"

Zenin Naoya has not given up resisting. Although his body has been pierced, he is now a cursed spirit!
He twisted his head 180 degrees and looked at Zenin Maki ferociously.

"You can no longer move in this area!! So no matter what time it is--"

But he wasn't done yet.

Zenin Maki pulled the knife out of him as if nothing had happened.

"Why……"

Zenin Naoya's eyes became full of disbelief once again.

"This is a problem. Why—"

In fact, the reason is as simple as the principle just now.

That was the guaranteed hit effect of the field, which made it impossible to identify Zenin Maki who had no spell power at all.

She was like an ignored building in the domain and was not the domain's target at all.

puff--

Zenin Maki slashed him down mercilessly, and Zenin Naoya was easily cut in two.

At the same time, his domain was also shattered.

"Phew~ I saved a life!! Kappa!!"

Daido Gun was also able to escape from the domain due to the death of Zenin Naoya, and he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted with emotion.

"Am I really still alive?" The Third Generation Sixty-Four, who was lying on the ground, looked a little dazed.

At this point, 12 years after Zenin Shinji's death, a demon who could rival him appeared.

“…Did you win?”

Kamo Kenki, who was lying on the ground to rest, looked at Zenin Maki who came to him and asked.

"We won, thanks to those two." Zenin Maki replied with a smile.

"What about them?"

"They were badly injured, almost like you. I'll go help them both later."

"Yeah."

"...Why do you seem like a completely different person?" Zenin Maki asked puzzledly.

"You are also from one of the three major families, so you should know something about my situation, right?" Kamo Kenji asked back, "I am worthless if I cannot stand at the top of the Kamo family. And about my name, I think my mother must..."

Upon hearing this, Zenin Maki sighed speechlessly and interrupted, "Did your mother tell you that in person? My mother told me in person, and then I killed her with a knife. I don't know if it was right to do that. Maybe I should talk to her more. In the end, what is a mother to us? Before I figured out this question, I ended everything between her and me with my own hands. Don't repeat my mistake."

"……Um."

Kamo Kenji listened and responded in a low voice.

···········
Tokyo First Barrier, November 11th.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well? My destined one."

Fushiguro Megumi woke up in a hotel somewhere, and saw a woman who looked like an angel in front of her. (End of this chapter)
