"What's the situation? How long have Yuji and the others been in there?"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Emiya got straight to the point.

"Um, when I informed you, Mr. Emiya, the three first-year students had just entered the building."

"Logically speaking, a rescue operation on the second floor of only about ten minutes should be enough. I also told them that if they encounter a cursed spirit, they must choose to escape immediately."

"But after so long, there's been no movement or intelligence reported... I suspect they may have fallen into the Curse Spirit's [Realm of Life]."

As he spoke, Yijizhi gradually lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

The so-called [innate domain] can be simply understood as a pre-version of [domain expansion], that is, a kind of spiritual world.

Because it is something that is innate, it is called the [Innate Domain].

However, humans are unable to simply materialize the [Domain of Birth] into reality. Only when powerful cursed spirits are born, the excess cursed power will transform the real space at the place where they were born, forming a huge domain with spatial anomalies.

The appearance of the [Field of Birth] can only mean that there was a mistake in their investigation. The cursed spirit is no longer a cursed fetus, but has been successfully born.

"[Born Domain]... In other words, the existing maps and location coordinates are no longer useful, right?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying..."

"Then I'll just take action."

After receiving Ijichi's affirmative answer, Emiya walked towards the interior of the building without any hesitation.

"Wait, wait a minute...Mr. Emiya?!"

Before Ijichi could finish his words, Emiya had already stepped into the gate of the juvenile detention center.

When the door was just opened, it was so dark that even Emiya couldn't see anything, but Emiya still stepped in fearlessly.

boom--!

The next second, the door behind him closed automatically, and the scene in front of him changed completely.

The endless rooms that stretched upwards twisted and spiraled together, making it seem as if they would meet at the end, yet the true situation could not be seen.

And in the empty areas in the center of these rooms, there are countless intricate pipes running through them.

"Has space really been distorted to such a serious extent?"

Emiya himself wasn't worried about space being distorted or infinitely magnified. If the key terrain was too vast, it would be extremely difficult to search for Yuji Itadori and the others trapped within.

pop - pop - pop -

Just as Emiya was thinking about how to find the students scattered in the [Living Area], he suddenly heard a series of running sounds behind him.

Because it is a closed space in a certain sense, the echo of sound is quite obvious.

One of the two footsteps was heavier than an ordinary person's, while the other was lighter than an ordinary person's, yet too brisk.

That brisk footsteps sounded familiar, like the Jade Dog Emiya had seen yesterday. Then there was another, heavier sound...

Are there any casualties yet?

After quickly making a judgment in his mind, Emiya immediately rushed to the direction where the sound came from at an extremely fast speed, and happened to see [Jade Dog] running over here, and Megumi Fushiguro who was running hard with Kugisaki Nobara in her arms.

"...who?!"

Sensing something unusual, the extremely nervous Megumi Fushiguro braked to a sudden stop, but the moment she saw the real person, she instantly let down her guard.

There is no need to worry about the authenticity of the visitor's identity, because it is impossible for the [Jade Dog] to make a wrong judgment.

"Emiya-sensei! Why are you here?"

Perhaps it was because of his identity as a teacher, or perhaps it was because yesterday's training made him judge that Emiya's strength was far stronger than the average level. Megumi Fushiguro really felt like he had seen a savior.

It was like lying in warm water immediately after being extremely tired. I felt extremely relaxed and at the same time, my heart was filled with a sense of security.

The last time such emotions arose in him was when he saw Gojo Satoru arrive during a crisis.

"Because I received a call from Ijichi, saying that you were assigned to a mission where there might be a special-grade cursed spirit."

"How's the situation, Yuji-kun?"

Megumi Fushiguro didn't have any serious injuries, and Nobara Kugisaki seemed to have fallen into a coma after over-consumption of her cursed energy. Only Yuji Itadori was not here.

"Emiya-sensei, Itadori-kun is still fighting a special-grade cursed spirit alone! Even if that special-grade cursed spirit is just trying to play with him, he won't be able to hold out for long!"

"He said he would exchange with Ryoumen Sukuna after Kugisaki and I escaped safely, but the cursed spirit is untrustworthy... Even if we pin our hopes on Ryoumen Sukuna, it will definitely not act according to Yuji's expectations."

"So, Mr. Emiya, please... you must rescue Itadori before then. You can consider this as my personal plea, please..."

Megumi Fushiguro spoke quickly because he also knew the urgency of the situation.

If she hadn't been holding the unconscious Nobara Kugisaki in her arms, Megumi Fushiguro would have almost kneeled down by now.

After all, even if we don't count the feelings between him and Itadori, it was he who sacrificed himself to allow him to escape. He would never want to see a kind person like Itadori die so ridiculously in order to rescue a few hopeless scum.

This is the truest thought in Megumi Fushiguro's heart.

"It's okay, Fushiguro-kun. Even if you don't say anything, I will definitely save Yuji-kun."

"No matter what, I am still a teacher now."

Even if they weren't too familiar with each other, how could Emiya, with his personality, let others' lives be lost? Not to mention that the reason they were fighting was to save more people.

"...Thank you, Emiya-sensei."

"[Jade Dog] It remembers the smell of Itadori. I'll take Kugisaki to evacuate first. It can lead Emiya-sensei to find Itadori..."

"Ow!!"

Before Megumi Fushiguro could finish his words, his Jade Dog started howling first.

Compared to combat abilities, the best thing about [Jade Dog] as a Shikigami is actually tracking and sensing the environment, and this roar is to remind him.

A cursed spirit is coming.

"Be careful, Emiya-sensei!"

Megumi Fushiguro immediately gave a warning, and the ground cracked the next moment.

boom----!

Terrifying cursed energy burst out from the ground beneath their feet. The special wave even flew straight into the sky, wiping out the pipes a hundred meters away.

"laugh......"

The figure of a cursed spirit slowly crawled out from the ground that had collapsed into a pile of rubble, and looked at everyone with a twisted smile.

You can see that it is as excited as a child who has just found a toy, and seems to be unable to wait.

Its appearance is quite similar to the first-level cursed spirit that Shirou first saw in that school, and their bodies are both white in color.

However, the body and cursed power of the cursed spirit in front of him were obviously stronger, and there were four eyes crowded on his face in a strange way.

"This special grade cursed spirit, could it be that Yuji has already..."

The moment he saw the cursed spirit, Megumi Fushiguro subconsciously thought that something had happened to Itadori, but in the next moment he realized something was wrong.

"No, that's not right... This cursed spirit is not the one we just encountered."

"Emiya-sensei! Two special-grade cursed spirits appeared simultaneously within the Juvenile Detention Facility's [Biosphere]. This is absolutely abnormal!"

If low-level cursed spirits still have the possibility of coexistence, then when high-level cursed spirits meet, there is almost only one option: life and death, unless their strength is almost the same.

But no matter what, it is absolutely abnormal that a second special-grade cursed spirit appeared in the [birth field] where a special-grade cursed spirit was born.

If it's impossible for the cursed spirits to achieve this situation on their own, then it's most likely... man-made?!

Precisely because his thinking is more active, when he discovers a problem, Megumi Fushiguro thinks of far more than someone as stubborn as Itadori.

"I see. It's a man-made cursed spirit, right?"

Because he had encountered a similar situation before, Emiya saw at a glance that in the center of the chest of this special-grade cursed spirit, there was a finger stuck in the empty space.

There is no doubt that this is probably the special cursed object that Gojo Satoru mentioned, Sukuna's finger.

Even if it's just one of the twenty fingers, can it give birth to a special-grade cursed spirit of this level?

So, what was Sukuna's heyday?

"Damn it, if that's the case, doesn't that mean Itadori-san must be..."

Perhaps the cruelest thing in the world is to give you hope and then take it away, leaving only despair.

It was obvious that as long as Emiya could get there in time, even if he couldn't completely defeat the special-grade cursed spirit, there would be absolutely no problem rescuing Itadori from the threat of the special-grade cursed spirit.

However, the current situation...

"Because the situation is urgent, there is no time to play around with you now, Curse Spirit."

When Megumi Fushiguro's thoughts gradually became negative, Emiya suddenly threw off his coat, got ready and looked at the special-grade cursed spirit in the distance.

Even though it was a product ripened by Sukuna's fingers, this cursed spirit was at least of special grade.

Under normal circumstances, it will take some time to solve it, so if you want to get to Itadori as soon as possible, you must show some real skills.

"Trace on..."

He stretched his hand to his side and gently clenched it, and a blood-red magic spear was held in his palm.

Gáe Bolg (Lance of the Piercing Deaththorn) is a magical spear wielded by the great Celtic hero Cuchulainn, capable of reversing cause and effect.

The result of "the opponent's heart being stabbed" was reversed and placed in front, while the cause of "the magic spear stabbing out" was placed in the back, forming an unavoidable dead end.

As a Noble Phantasm projected by Emiya after he escaped the range of his [Sword], Gáe Bolg not only consumes a greater amount of mana, but also cannot last as long as Gan Jiang Moye.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as the core of cause and effect reversal is still there, it can play a huge role at a moment like now.

Gojo Satoru said that the heart and even the brain will no longer be weaknesses against high-level cursed spirits.

Moreover, the cursed spirit in front of him obviously did not have a heart in the human sense in its body of flesh and blood.

But Gáe Bolg can actually be used not only against human opponents, but also against giant beasts and mythical beasts. They also do not necessarily have hearts like humans, and even if they do, they will not be in the same place.

Therefore, the heart described by the magic spear is not actually a specific object, but a concept similar to the "heart".

Obviously, for the cursed spirit in front of him, the finger on his chest is his 'heart'.

"......ah?"

The curse spirit felt puzzled.

It didn't know what a Noble Phantasm was, nor did it know what Emiya was going to do next.

It only knew that the prey in front of it was not afraid of it, and even took a fighting stance, which made it feel a strange sense of crisis.

If the huge disparity in cursed energy could frighten it into running away, then things like Noble Phantasms were completely beyond its comprehension.

Therefore, the cursed spirit did not escape, but even gradually approached Emiya and began to gather a large amount of cursed power in his chest.

No matter where that sense of crisis came from, it thought that as long as it could completely wipe out the prey in front of it, it would be fine.

And the moment after the cursed spirit took its first step, Emiya suddenly moved—

"Gáe—Bolg!"

The red blood light was like thorns, spreading in the air, and in the next moment it went straight to the chest of the curse spirit.

It couldn't react at all because the tip of the gun pierced its chest the second before Shirou could move.

"Uh...uh?"

The four-eyed head moved stiffly downwards, its hands still in a gesture of gathering power, but the core of the cursed power had already been stripped from its body.

In addition to the gun tip and fingers, there were also countless sticky blood threads that penetrated his body.

boom----!

Its body suddenly caught fire with a dark blue flame, and then nothing remained of its body.

P.S.: Because I wanted to lay the groundwork for the characters and other things so that the subsequent plot would be reasonable, I accidentally wrote so much in the beginning ()

Now that almost everyone has appeared, it’s time to start advancing the plot.

Volume 1: Chapter 67 Are you Yuji Itadori or Ryomen Sukuna?

When the phantom blue flames on the cursed spirit's body burned out, Gáe Bolg, who had existed for only a dozen seconds, began to gradually disintegrate from head to toe.

This is the corrective force of the world. It will fundamentally erase anything that is wrong, even in this world of cursed power.
