Unfortunately, his leader was Nanami Kento, who was known for his caution and composure. So after only a little consideration, Nanami Kento made the same decision as in the original story: to remove the outermost barrier first, allowing the survivors still trapped in this area to escape, and then proceed step by step to continue deeper into the territory.
Fushiguro Megumi did not raise any objections, after all, deep down he still believed in Gojo Satoru's strength.
However, Kitagawa Yu, who knew the plot, spoke up at this moment.
"Nanami-senpai, I think we should go directly into the deeper barrier and find Gojo-senpai first!"
Nanami Kento did not refuse immediately, but adjusted his glasses and asked, "Tell me your reasons, Ino."
"The area covered by this outermost barrier is too large. Finding the magical artifacts used to place the barrier within such a large area will definitely take a lot of time."
"As for directly and violently destroying the barrier, it is also difficult because this barrier is not designed for ordinary sorcerers."
"Therefore, I suspect that the enemy intends to use this kind of barrier, which is difficult to break by force and can only be broken by spending a lot of time searching for the core of the formation, in order to delay us and hold us back."
"I know that Senior Gojo is extremely powerful."
"But since the enemy dared to specifically name Gojo-senpai and ask him to go in, they might actually have a way to trap or harm him."
"Gojo-senpai is a strategic weapon for us sorcerers. He is extremely important to us, so even if there is only the slightest possibility, we should prioritize supporting Gojo-senpai."
Ultimately, Gojo Satoru's invincible image was so deeply ingrained in people's minds that Nanami Kenjiro made that decision.
However, after Kitagawa Yu's reminder, he realized that even if the probability of the enemy having a way to deal with Gojo Satoru was small, as long as it wasn't zero, he shouldn't let his guard down.
Because the cost of the sorcerers losing Gojo Satoru is something that no one, not even ordinary people in this world, can afford.
Therefore, Nanami Kento changed his previous decision after only two seconds of thought and agreed to Kitagawa Yu's proposal.
“You’re right, Ino, we can’t let our guard down no matter how small the possibility is.”
Nanami Kento spoke first.
However, he immediately changed the subject, saying, "But we can't leave the ordinary people here untouched. Based on the attacks in previous years, the enemy often releases a large number of low-level cursed spirits. These cursed spirits are nothing to us sorcerers, but they are extremely dangerous to ordinary people."
"If these people continue to be trapped here, they will likely be slaughtered by a large number of low-level cursed spirits."
"So I've decided to split into two groups. I'll go into the deeper layers of the barrier to support Gojo Satoru, while the two of you will continue searching for the array's core to remove the outermost barrier as soon as possible and release the survivors."
Kitagawa Yu was speechless after hearing this.
Isn't this the same decision everyone made in the original story after learning that Gojo Satoru had been sealed away?
Although Nanami Kento entered the deepest barrier ahead of time to support Gojo Satoru, he was only a level one sorcerer. Facing four special-grade curse spirits and the big boss, Natsuyu Jie, and having to consider the ordinary people crowded in the station, he was lucky if he could not even hold Gojo Satoru back, let alone help.
However, Kitagawa Yu did not continue speaking.
Otherwise, given Nanami Kento's meticulous nature, he might have noticed something.
Therefore, he had no choice but to accept Nanami Kento's order and continue searching for the array's core and removing the barrier together with Fushiguro Megumi.
"I guess the enemy's primary target for this operation is probably the Gojo-senpai, so the strongest ones should be concentrated in the deepest barrier."
After Nanami Kento left, Kitagawa Yu turned to Fushiguro Megumi and said, "Then the person responsible for maintaining and guarding this outermost barrier must not be a very powerful guy."
"But this outermost barrier is not only extremely large in area, but also very strong in defense. So I guess the other party must have used some negative conditions to exchange for a significant increase in the barrier's strength."
"For example, the key point of the formation was placed in the most conspicuous and easily noticeable position."
Kitagawa Yu quickly 'analyzed'.
The spells in this world are very interesting. If the spell's effect is 10, then by deliberately setting some negative conditions, such as revealing the spell's detailed information to the enemy, the spell's effect can be improved.
Take, for example, Takuma Ino's spirit summoning technique.
If you exchange it for publicly available information or by covering your face with a mask, you can double its power.
Megumi Fushiguro was also a rather calm and intelligent person. With Yu Kitagawa's reminder, she quickly realized this point and immediately turned to look at the tallest building in the area.
If we're talking about who's most eye-catching, this building is undoubtedly the most prominent in the entire area.
"You mean, the core of the formation is likely on the rooftop of that building?"
"Go and see for yourself!"
Without wasting any more time, Fushiguro Megumi, who had also begun to worry about Gojo Satoru's safety after Kitagawa Yu's words, immediately followed him and ran towards the building.
On the way here, Kitagawa Yu had quietly adjusted his breathing rhythm to the frequency of Thunder Breathing.
Combined with Ino Takuma's own powerful physique, which surpasses that of a sorcerer, his attributes are significantly stronger than those of his original form in the main world.
In just two minutes, the two arrived in front of the building.
Unlike other streets where a few survivors could still be seen, there were no survivors around this building, making it seem particularly empty and eerie.
This made Fushiguro Megumi even more convinced of Kitagawa Yu's deduction.
"If the enemy is really here, it's dangerous to take the elevator or climb the stairs, and it's too slow, Ino-senpai. I'll have Nue lead us up!"
Fushiguro Megumi spoke first.
Despite its small size, Nue is quite powerful as a shikigami, and carrying two people in flight is no problem at all.
"it is good!"
Kitagawa Yu nodded and did not refuse.
Although he really wanted to try running at high speed directly on the vertical facade of the building, Fushiguro Megumi's physical skills were not up to par, so having Nue take them up was undoubtedly the most convenient and quickest method.
Without wasting any words, Fushiguro Megumi immediately activated the Ten Shadow Techniques, a ancestral technique passed down through the Zenin family, and summoned the shikigami Nue.
To be honest, although the ten shadow spells are extremely famous in the world of sorcery, and even Ryomen Sukuna praised them highly, from the audience's perspective, apart from 'Eight-Handed Sword Ring God General Demon Xu Luo', the other nine shadow shikigami that Kitagawa Yu can summon are quite ordinary.
It's far inferior to the limitless, atomic-level techniques of the Gojo family and the spirit manipulation techniques that allow Natsumi to control thousands of spirits.
Furthermore, Fushiguro Megumi's curse power isn't that great; it's nowhere near as powerful as Otsukoku Yuuta's.
Therefore, in Kitagawa Yu's opinion, Fushiguro Megumi, the second male lead, is not very capable, except for being handsome.
"Be careful!"
Kitagawa Yu offered a brief reminder.
Then the two of them each grabbed one of the pheasant's claws and quickly flew upwards off the ground.
Chapter 243 Preemptive Strike
"somebody is coming!"
The three curse masters on the rooftop of the building, responsible for guarding the array's core, quickly noticed Kitagawa Yu and Fushiguro Megumi.
However, the Nue were very agile in the air and extremely fast. Their spells were not the type of ranged attacks, so even if they wanted to stop them, they couldn't. They could only watch as the two of them leaped and landed on the rooftop.
"three people?"
Fushiguro Megumi's expression hardened, and upon landing, he immediately formed hand seals to summon the shadow shikigami, Tamagu. Clearly, he too had realized that the three lacked ranged attack capabilities.
The three curse masters opposite breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that only two brats had arrived.
At this time, Gojo Satoru had not yet been sealed away, and they were quite afraid that Gojo Satoru would come to kill them.
"The sorcerers only sent two brats; we're incredibly lucky!"
The curse master, with a mustache, a small braid, and short stature but with muscles as strong as steel, chuckled and shouted.
Unfortunately, both Kitagawa Yu and Fushiguro Megumi are currently in a cold and aloof state and simply can't be bothered with him.
"Senior, I'll send Jade Dog to test the waters first!"
As Fushiguro Megumi spoke, she prepared to urge the Jade Dog to charge forward.
Since sorcerers possess a wide variety of spells, including many that reflect damage, his approach was undoubtedly the right strategy.
However, Kitagawa Yu already knew about the abilities of these three curse masters through the storyline.
The old man with the mustache has the ability to switch between strong and weak attacks; under his active control, he can change the intensity of attacks that hit him.
This ability is extremely difficult to deal with when it is not yet clear.
If you unleash a full-force attack, your opponent will immediately activate a transformation, converting the original 100 damage into 1. You can then withstand the attack and launch a counterattack. Combined with their already strong physical skills, their overall strength is quite impressive.
However, once you figure out his abilities, it's not difficult to deal with him. Just hold back your power when the attack is about to hit, and the originally powerful attack will become weak. After the attack reverses, the damage will increase from 1 to 100.
Of course, it's easier said than done. It's not easy for a typical martial arts master to achieve this. At least, even though Fushiguro Megumi has been practicing martial arts intensively recently, he still can't do it.
However, there is a limit to how strong or weak a person can switch between attacks. If the attack is too strong and exceeds his limit, he will be unable to switch.
As for the other grandmother and granddaughter pair, the old woman's ability is that after obtaining the flesh and blood of a dead person, she can summon that person's body and soul, possessing herself or others, making them look like the dead person, and possessing all of their strength from their lifetime.
The grandson's abilities were not revealed in the original storyline; he probably just had strong physical vitality, which allowed him to better utilize the power of the undead.
In the original storyline, the old woman somehow obtained the flesh and blood of Fushiguro Megumi's father, Fushiguro Jinji, the strongest physical combat ability user, and possessed Fushiguro Jinji's spirit in her grandson. Then, she instantly killed Ino Takuma, who was at full power, with one punch, and then killed the old woman who summoned him with another punch.
What stands out is its invincibility and willfulness.
But it’s no wonder.
Even after so many years of death, in the entire world of sorcery, no one except Gojo Satoru is his match. No matter what kind of special-grade curse spirit or curse master, none of them can beat him.
Even four level-one sorcerers working together couldn't defeat the Sea Special Grade Spell Spirit Tuogen. Even with his domain activated, Tuogen completely destroyed him within seconds, leaving him unharmed.
Even when Xia Youjie was still alive, controlling two top-tier curse spirits and hundreds of low-tier curse spirits, he was still no match for him. He could easily beat Xia Youjie to the point of near death with just a few punches and kicks.
As for Toudou Aoi, the strongest taijutsu user today, and Itadori Yuujin, who has now mastered Black Flash, they are all just little brothers in front of him.
Even Kitagawa Yu now wouldn't dare to face him.
After all, the opponent's speed was simply too fast. If it were a head-on battle, he might not even have time to activate his Bankai before being blown apart by a single punch from Fushiguro Jinji.
For a detailed explanation, you can refer to the battle between Might Guy and Madara after opening the Eight Gates.
So to avoid any possibility of failure, he decided to strike first and immediately summoned Ryujin Jakka.
"All things in the universe return to dust, and the flowing blade is like fire!"
The terrifying spiritual pressure transformed into scorching flames that spread from the blade, causing the three curse masters' expressions to change drastically.
Unfortunately, it was too late for them to react.
In pursuit of speed, Kitagawa Yu didn't even have time to activate his Bankai. After activating his Shikai, he immediately unleashed Blazing Hell.
In an instant, a towering pillar of fire, thicker than the building beneath their feet, rose from the ground. Except for the location where he and Fukuro Megumi were deliberately avoided, the entire building was enveloped in the pillar of fire.
"Do not--"
The grandfather and grandson, whose physical skills were mediocre, were instantly reduced to ashes in the flames, dying before they could even cast a spell.
