Although deploying the domain requires a lot of spell power, it is still worthwhile if it can kill enemies efficiently.

Soon, the three arrived at the staircase leading to the next floor, and just then, Tuogen came into their sight.

"It's a cursed spirit I've never seen before." Many thoughts flashed through Nanami Kento's mind, but in the end he decided to proceed according to the previously established plan.

"Fu Hei—"

"Domain Expansion - Embedded Dark Courtyard!"

Fukuro Megumi formed a hand seal, and the next second, endless darkness rapidly expanded from his hands, pulling Kitagawa Yu, Nanami Kento, and the unsuspecting Tagore into it.

The Inlaid Dark Garden allows Fushiguro Megumi, who is within it, to summon a large number of shadow spirits simultaneously, and even create her own shadow clones.

At the same time, his true form can be hidden in the shadows, making his actions even more elusive.

However, in order to conserve her magical energy, Fushiguro Megumi neither summoned the shadow shikigami to Emiya Tagore nor hid herself in the shadows. Instead, following Kitagawa Yu's instructions, she used her shadow power to envelop Ryujin Jakka, thus concealing him.

At the same time, Nanami Kento also went all out, wielding his cleaver-shaped spell tool and accelerating towards Tuogen.

Nanami Kento's life-giving technique is the ten-stroke incantation "Waluo Waluo," which can forcibly mark a weakness on an opponent. Once that weakness is hit, it can cause a "critical hit" several times the original attack, making it a rather powerful incantation.

Before arriving, Tuogen had already learned about Nanami Kento's spellcasting from Xia Youjie, and was startled by what he saw.

They started by unleashing their domains and critical hits without even a greeting. That's incredibly unsportsmanlike!

If it hadn't yet learned human swear words, it would have been swearing right away.

"Pfft~"

Without time to think, Tuogen quickly discarded the cursed embryo shell and transformed into his battle form.

The towering figure, nearly three meters tall, and the overwhelming pressure of the cursed power immediately caused Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi's expressions to change slightly, realizing that Kitagawa Yu's guess was correct.

In order to intercept them, the enemy indeed dispatched a powerful special-grade cursed spirit.

However, even a top-tier cursed spirit needs time to cast spells and expand its domain.

Because of Kitagawa Yu and the other two's preemptive strike, although Tagore completed his transformation, he did not have time to activate his magic. He could only protect his head with one hand and throw a punch with the other, aiming at Nanami Kento who was close by.

Honestly, it's quite amusing that a cursed spirit, born from humanity's fear of the deep sea and resembling a Cthulhu monster, would actually adopt a boxing stance.

Of course, Nanami Kento, who was facing this attack head-on, had no intention of laughing. Seeing that he could not attack the weak point marked by the spell, he could only change his target and slash at Tagore's wrist.

"Pfft—"

Tuogen's right hand was severed instantly, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

However, Tuogen paid no attention to this and kicked out, forcing Nanami Kento to retreat.

The cursed spirit possesses powerful regenerative abilities; an injury as severe as a broken wrist can be healed in just half a day.

Most importantly, although he was very strong and looked like he had great physical skills, he was actually a mage.

The usual method is to summon water to attack. After the domain is expanded, it can summon an endless number of aquatic creatures, with an effect similar to Upper Moon 5 Gyokko's Blood Demon Art: 10,000 Gliding Fish in Demon Slayer.

As for close-quarters combat skills, I wouldn't say they're bad, but they're not very strong.

So even if his wrist is severed, as long as he can create distance and buy time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi.

In the original storyline, Nanami Kento and Zenin Naobito, both one-hit spellcasters, teamed up with Zenin Maki and Fushiguro Megumi, who had already reached level one and were undergoing upgrade assessments.

Even without summoning the strongest shikigami, the Eight-Grip Sword, the Divine General Demon Xu Luo, Fushiguro Megumi was no match for it. In the end, if Fushiguro Jinji hadn't arrived and easily killed it, at least half of the four would have died.

However, this time the situation is completely different.

The Ryujin Jakka Blade, which had been in its Shikai state, was engulfed in a layer of bright white flames at hundreds of thousands of degrees. Under Kitagawa Yu's spell control and with the help of Fushiguro Megumi's shadow power to conceal its movements, it had already arrived behind Tagore. When Tagore was completely unprepared, it pierced through its head with a single strike.

Such injuries would surely kill even a top-tier cursed spirit.

With the burst of flame power, Ryujin Jakka reappeared.

The blinding white flames instantly reduced the corpse of the Thug to ashes.

"what?!"

"Tuogen was killed so quickly?!"

The real person had been distracted by the battle here, and upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically.

At the same time, Koji, Hana, and the Nine Phase Diagrams: Expansion Phase, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Gojo Satoru and were exhausting their strength and energy, also sensed the aura of the Dagon and were all extremely surprised.

"what's the situation?!"

The same thought popped into the minds of all three of them.

Unfortunately, to avoid being discovered by Gojo Satoru, Makoto and Natsume obviously had no way to contact them.

"These three guys are really decisive! No wonder they're from the family of sorcerers known for their wisdom and caution, Nanami Kento."

"And that knife-shaped cursed weapon was able to burn Tuogen's body to ashes in an instant. Its power was even greater than we originally expected, and it was probably comparable to Louhu's firepower!"

Xia Youjie's smile remained unchanged, but his narrow eyes now held a hint of coldness and gloom.

“However, ordinary sorcerers can only use their domains once a day at most, and according to the information I have, none of these three have mastered a domain-specific spell like ‘Simplified Domain’. So, as long as I send out another sorcerer with a domain, we should be able to deal with these three guys,” Xia Youjie thought to himself.

This is not arrogance on his part.

Although Kitagawa Yu's 'cursed artifact' was much more powerful than he had originally expected.

However, having a domain and not having a domain are two different levels.

There has never been a case where a sorcerer who has not mastered the domain technique has defeated a sorcerer who has activated the domain.

Even when Ryomen Sukuna temporarily occupied Itadori Yuujin's body, he still had to unleash his own even more powerful domain to fight against the real person who had deployed his domain.

In the more than 1,000-year history of the sorcery world, the only exception is Fuheshir, who has already passed away.

His body was strengthened to such an extent that even the domain couldn't do anything about him.

"What do we do now?" the real man asked.

"Don't worry, I'll send the Herpes God to deal with them."

Herpes God is also a special-grade cursed spirit, but unlike the real person and Louhu, whose intelligence is no less than that of humans, Herpes God, although he can speak human language, has an intelligence level of only that of a ten-year-old child.

It is one of the top-tier cursed spirits that Xia Youjie subdued using cursed spirit manipulation techniques.

However, their strength is still quite good.

Herpes God's spells belong to the rule-based ability category. After the domain is expanded, it will first summon a coffin that is guaranteed to hit and imprison the target inside, then summon a huge tombstone to bury the person and the coffin together underground, and then start a three-second countdown.

If they cannot be pulled out of the coffin within three seconds, they will die from a special disease.

Within the domain, he can repeat this cycle indefinitely until he exhausts the target or is killed himself.

In Xia Youjie's opinion, Fukuro Megumi is no longer able to activate her domain, and her curse power has been mostly depleted. So as long as he is careful not to be hit by Ryujin Jakka, it will not be difficult for his Herpes God to kill Kitagawa Yu and the other two.

However, he soon discovered that his assessment of the battle situation was wrong again.

Although, as he instructed, Herpes God hid at the corner of the escalator leading to the third floor, as soon as Kitagawa Yu and the other two entered his attack range, he unleashed his domain.

However, Kitagawa Yu already knew about the Herpes God's abilities through the manga, so he naturally wouldn't give him the opportunity to keep his distance and use his abilities to wear them down.

"boom!"

As soon as the coffin appeared, Kitagawa Yu cleaved it in two with a single slash and escaped. Then, completely ignoring the massive tombstone, three meters in diameter, falling from above, he used a 'Sword Control Technique' to maneuver Ryujin Jakka towards Herpes God.

Chapter 245 Triple Kill

"Damn it, are all kids this reckless these days?"

Xia Youjie, who was witnessing this scene from the perspective of the Herpes God, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and mentally complain.

Because there are so many different kinds of spells, and many of their abilities are quite bizarre, such as spells that reflect damage, attacking them rashly might injure you. Therefore, most spellcasters will carefully probe the abilities of their enemies before making a reasonable tactical decision and going all out.

Who would have thought that Kitagawa Yu would be so reckless? Facing a special-grade cursed spirit that had activated its domain, he didn't even bother to test it out, and regardless of the other party's abilities, he simply threw out his important weapon to launch an attack.

Even when Itadori Yuujin had just entered the world of jutsu and had not received any formal education, he was not this reckless when dealing with the cursed spirit at school!

"Is this guy really a staff member of the High School of Pyromancy? Or has the High School of Pyromancy's level fallen to this extent since I left?"

Xia Youjie couldn't help but continue complaining.

Meanwhile, Herpes God, having already been warned, knew the power of Ryujin Jakka and immediately dodged Ryujin Jakka's attack by moving sideways.

Ino Takuma's Spellcasting Technique: Visiting Auspicious Beast can summon the spirit of an auspicious beast to attach to the spell tool, bringing an effect similar to flying on a sword, but the speed is actually not very fast.

The reason why the previous ambush on Tagore was successful was mainly because Fushiguro Megumi used the power of shadow to hide Ryujin Jakka's whereabouts, and Nanami Kento attracted his attention.

Now that the power of shadow is no longer available, and Herpes God has learned the power of Ryujin Jakka, it will be much harder for Kitagawa Yu to stab Herpes God as he did before.

After all, Herpes God, as a top-tier cursed spirit, can not only fly, but is also very fast.

This is also why Xia Youjie believes that Herpes God can kill Kitagawa Yu and the other two.

However, what he didn't know was that Ryujin Jakka's fire attack wasn't limited to just striking; Kitagawa Yu had used an externally released flame when he killed those thousand-plus monsters.

Of course, it wasn't that the real person deliberately didn't tell him; it's just that the real person wasn't very clear about the specific details either.

They had been focused on the battle between Gojo Satoru and Louhu, and only noticed Kitagawa Yu and his two companions after the more than one thousand monsters used to block the sorcerers' support were defeated.

And so, Herpes God met his tragic end.

The Herpes God, who had dodged the 'flying knife' attack, thought he was safe. While keeping an eye on the flight trajectory of Ryujin Jakka, he continued to use his ability to lock Kitagawa Yu, Nanami Kento, and Fushiguro Megumi, who had also broken out of their coffins, back into the coffins.

Just then, crimson flames suddenly erupted from the blade of Ryujin Jakka, transforming into a massive fireball several meters in diameter that engulfed the unsuspecting Herpes God.

Then there is no more.

Although Kitagawa Yu only controlled the temperature of the flames to around 5000 degrees, this was still beyond what Herpes God could withstand.

The intense heat, enough to instantly vaporize steel, reduced the Herpes God to ashes in an instant, and a top-tier cursed spirit was killed so easily.

"???"

Xia Youjie's smile finally disappeared, and his squinty eyes seemed to widen several sizes.

"What's wrong?" The person next to him noticed his unusual behavior and asked.

"That brat's cursed artifacts are even more powerful than I imagined; they can actually emit extremely high-temperature flames. Herpes God was caught off guard and was killed by him." Xia Youjie came to his senses and, without any pretense, directly stated the news that Herpes God had been killed by Kitagawa Yu.

Upon hearing this, the real person couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It's only been two minutes, right? The Herpes God was taken down? This 'cursed tool' is just too powerful!

Xia Youjie seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, nodded, and said, "The power of that cursed artifact is indeed somewhat unexpected. Although the Herpes God does not have the same resistance to fire as Tuogen, with its super-grade cursed spirit's physical strength, it would be difficult for most flames to burn it to death so quickly. It seems that this cursed artifact is quite powerful even among super-grade cursed artifacts."
