Understanding this point, Reigerâs gaze towards the opponent became even colder.
On the other hand, Sukuna, noticing Reigerâs icy gaze, only found the smile on his face becoming more and more wanton.
And the words he said were these.
"Who gave you permission to look at me with those eyes?"
As soon as he finished speakingâ
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a rumble, the ground between Reiger and Sukuna burst open.
Sukuna swung his arm towards Reiger without warning, and the ground exploded as if slashed by some invisible force.
The invisible force naturally impacted Reigerâs body as well, but as it was about to touch him, it split and passed to his left and right sides, scattering countless flying dust and rubble.
"Invisible slashes?"
Reiger spoke without expression.
"Is this your technique?"
Sukuna did not answer this question.
"Haha!"
He tore off his clothes, revealing his upper body covered in black lines, and laughed wildly as if enjoying this moment of freedom.
"Just like what I saw inside the bratâs body, kid, have you learned Gojo Satoruâs technique?"
"A space manipulation technique, indeed very much like those pretentious Curse Mage families, always liking to mess with these complicated and useless things."
"Rather than this, why donât you show me that shikigami you released last time, kid."
As he spoke, Sukuna swung his arms again, suddenly unleashing several invisible slashes, cutting through the ruins on the ground and carrying a storm of dust and debris towards Reiger, seemingly wanting to shred him into pieces.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Instantly, the devastating slashes continuously destroyed the ruins, causing a secondary collapse that brought the entire ceiling crashing down, exposing the sky.
"Swish!"
Reigerâs figure suddenly appeared outside, leaving the subway station, escaping the continuously collapsing terrain.
"Bang!"
At the same time, Sukuna also burst out from the ground as if flipping the ground upside down, with a maniacal smile, throwing a punch at Reiger in midair.
"Hmm?"
Before the punch could hit Reiger, Sukunaâs expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around, releasing several slashes downward.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
Almost at the same time, countless blood-colored spears erupted from the ruins below, piercing through countless rubble, overthrowing the ground, and shooting towards Sukuna.
"Pff!" "Pff!" "Pff!"...
The slashes released by Sukuna collided with the blood-colored spears shooting skyward.
The former cut through the latter, scattering the blood-colored spears.
But soon, the droplets of blood scattered in the air gathered again, forming a blood-colored storm, engulfing the high-leaping Sukuna.
"Pff!" "Pff!" "Pff!" "Pff!" "Pff!"...
In an instant, as if he had been sliced hundreds or thousands of times, Sukuna was engulfed in the blood storm, covered in blood, with countless wounds appearing on his body.
It was the blood in the storm cutting through Sukunaâs body.
The blood mixed in the storm spun at high speed, and the cutting force it generated was enough to cut through steel. If Sukuna hadnât immediately used cursed energy to strengthen his body, he would have been sliced into countless pieces of meat by now.
"Not bad, kid."
At that moment, Sukunaâs eyes shone with even more intense red light, paying no heed to his heavily wounded body, flinging multiple slashes towards Reiger standing in the void.
"You truly donât learn, Curse King."
Reiger looked down contemptuously at Sukuna enveloped in the blood storm, standing motionless, allowing the invisible slashes to be parted by the [Infinite Cursed Technique], sweeping past his sides.
"Boom!"
The blood storm enveloping Sukuna exploded.
The slashes released by Sukuna cut the storm open, allowing him to break free smoothly.
He then followed the force of gravity, descending from midair, landing on the ground beside the ruins, stretching his heavily scarred, mangled body as if to ease his muscles.
"This is your friendâs body, donât you care even a little?"
Sukuna spoke, whether mocking or sarcastic, it was hard to tell.
"Swish!"
Reiger returned to the ground using high-speed movement [Cang], landing in front of Sukuna.
"Do you think Iâll be hesitant because of this?" Reiger said calmly: "Sorry to disappoint you."
"Even if you really kill Itadori, I have a way to bring him back to life."
"Since thatâs the case, thereâs no need to be fearful."
Hearing this, Sukuna laughed, holding his forehead.
"Not bad, not bad, kid, I like your ruthlessness; youâre much more interesting than someone like Gojo Satoru."
As he spoke these words, the wounds on Sukunaâs body started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Reigerâs eyes narrowed slightly.
"Reverse curse technique?" Reiger continued calmly: "For a disaster-like existence such as yourself, you actually know how to use such an advanced reverse curse technique?"
To heal a body with torn skin and flesh instantly, the precision of such a reverse curse technique could probably regenerate severed limbs.
The King of Curses actually mastered such advanced healing methods, which truly doesnât match his style.
"What? Disappointed?" Sukuna spread his hands and laughed: "If you want to see, how about I dig out my heart for you?"
"Anyway, it can be healed instantly. If you donât like the owner of this body, feel free to destroy it."
"I actually donât like this brat either."
It could be seen that Sukuna and Itadori Yuji really didnât get along.
This was only natural.
One was good, the other evil; one wanted to save people, the other wanted to kill people. Moreover, Itadori Yuji could suppress Ryomensukunaâs consciousness, preventing him from taking control of the body, which naturally made Ryomensukuna unhappy.
These two were naturally incompatible.
Of course, Reiger and Sukuna were also the same.
"You seem to have recovered quite a bit of power." Reiger said coldly: "Why did you come out now?"
"Do you want to meddle in the chaos over in Shibuya too?"
"Then youâre a bit late."
In the face of Reigerâs questioning, Sukuna appeared indifferent.
"Such matters donât concern me. I donât care." Sukuna stared at Reiger with glowing red eyes, laughing again: "Iâm more interested in what you did before than such boring matters."
Hearing these words, Reiger remembered what the other had just said.
"Youâre talking about [Mahoraga], right?" Reiger said expressionlessly: "Youâre interested in it?"
"More or less." Sukuna said, somewhat meaningfully: "Youâve never faced an opponent that forced you to summon that thing, right?"
"Thatâs fine, I can be its opponent."
"So, just call it out if you want."
Sukunaâs voice carried a hint of expectation that was difficult for others to detect.
Butâ
"You havenât fully regained all your powers from your peak period, have you?"
Reiger seemed to have seen through something, his eyes gleaming with a transparent luster as he spoke.
"Can you, in your current state, qualify to make me summon that thing?"
Although the words contained neither disdain nor contempt, they still erased Ryomensukunaâs smile.
"...I spoke incorrectly; kid, youâre just as irritating as Gojo Satoru."
Speaking thus, Ryomensukuna extended both hands and formed a Tan Tu Seal.
It was the hand gesture of Buddhist Esoteric Yanmo Heaven.
"Domain expansion."
A low voice came from Ryomensukunaâs mouth, causing Reigerâs eyes to contract.
A massive curse power began to ripple from Ryomensukuna, distorting the surrounding space.
The next moment, a scene as a source behind Ryomensukuna began to expand around, seemingly corroding the space.
It was the domain that made the King of Curses famous a thousand years ago.
"[Malevolent Shrine]."
