Chapter 1416 - 996: Surging Cursed Energy Output (Part 2)

In such a situation, even Reiger couldn’t ignore the Demonic Void’s attacks once the impenetrable defense was breached; he had to repeatedly counter with his moves, blocking the Demonic Void’s assaults.

Upon closer observation, Reiger’s transparent world had already completely opened; his eyes glistened with a translucent luster. Observing the Demonic Void’s moves, his hands flowed with calm and natural curse power, erupting in bursts of force, steadily receiving each of the opponent’s violent attacks.

"Tap!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly darted over, stepping on the wall of a building in a region swiftly passing by due to the fierce battle between Reiger and the Demonic Void, springing toward Reiger like a spring.

"I get it."

A voice, deep like a demon, reached Reiger’s ears.

"The reason your curse power remains so calm yet can erupt with amazing strength, is because your curse power output has greatly increased?"

Saying this, Sukuna appeared behind Reiger in a flash, forming a pincer movement with the Demonic Void toward Reiger, charging at him.

"Boom!"

He kicked in mid-air, heavily kicking Reiger’s raised arm.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Void immediately seized the opportunity to slash out a sword, swinging at Reiger’s waist with a sound of an explosive blast.

Reiger’s eyes’ translucent luster suddenly became brighter, as the presence of "Acceleration" turned his reactions and reflexes into unparalleled limits, allowing him to respond timely in this critical moment.

"Clang!"

The next second, the sword aiming at Reiger’s waist was kicked from the side by Reiger’s outstretched foot, deflected with a single kick.

The Demonic Void didn’t stop its attack despite the failure of this inevitable strike; just like before, the sword attached to its right arm was blocked, causing its empty left arm to clench into a fist and punch out, while the tail behind its head suddenly whipped like a scorpion’s stinger toward Reiger.

During this time, Sukuna also didn’t stop attacking, his whole body emitting smoke, with the reverse spell technique operating at full speed, allowing his injuries to recover visibly quickly, simultaneously launching violent attacks on Reiger, his eyes gleaming red, as both his hands and feet hit Reiger’s body like artillery, occasionally changing fist to claw and claw to palm, showcasing superb martial arts abilities.

Sukuna, knowing slashing attacks were ineffective on Reiger, no longer used magical techniques, but rather adopted [Ten Shadow Techniques] as his primary attack, summoning [Divine Dog], [Great Serpent], and [Horned Bull] to surround Reiger.

Sukuna himself used domain expansion to neutralize Reiger’s invulnerability, suppressing him through close combat, while [Divine Dog], [Great Serpent], and [Horned Bull] took the chance to attack Reiger when the Demonic Void broke through Reiger’s invulnerability, capable of touching Reiger.

Suddenly, the evil demon and the supernatural divine general continuously approached Reiger, forming a pincer movement against him, with two large shikigami dogs, a large shikigami snake, and a large shikigami bull waiting for opportunities, forming the scene of running wildly on the left and right sides.

Their fierce battle moved from one end of the city to the other, flying over street after street, like a moving catastrophe, constantly causing destruction around, making people speechless.

"Isn’t this situation quite grim?"

Kurusu Hana, the only one fighting hard to keep up with Reiger and Sukuna’s group, spoke breathlessly.

"No." The Angel was silent for a moment, then said tremblingly: "Although it appears Reiger Brillhaut is at a disadvantage, he actually receives all of Sukuna and his shikigami’s attacks without a single defensive failure, and hasn’t suffered any injuries."

This point was not only discovered by the Angel, but Gojo Satoru and Kashimo Hajime also noticed it.

"How is he managing to block every strike in such a fierce siege, such a violent attack?"

Kashimo Hajime’s expression was solemn, his gaze was unpredictable.

Not to mention anything else, just the charge of [Horned Bull], as long as there’s enough distance, can easily knock down multiple buildings, shatter a mountain peak.

At this moment, that bull was accelerating in a wild charge, increasing the impact force repeatedly.

Yet, each of its charges was ultimately manually blocked by Reiger’s hands.

Such powerful collisions should, in theory, be beyond human ability to physically resist.

And as strong as [Horned Bull] was, the attack power of the Demonic Void was even more formidable, each slash’s power could easily blow a person into flesh, but Reiger could still block it using just his feet repeatedly.

"Is he using some sort of spell?"

Kashimo Hajime could only guess this.

"No."

Gojo Satoru, however, understood the situation clearly.

His Six Eyes had long discovered the problem.

"Reiger’s curse power output compared to before seems to have explosively increased."

This is the crux of the issue.

In the past, Reiger’s curse power was immense, but his curse power output was limited.

Even if he possessed unlimited curse power, the amount he could output at once was limited, causing each output of curse power to be just that, unable to unleash the advantages of his abundant curse power.

Unless it was like when he accepted Yaga Masamichi’s test, after accumulating curse power bit by bit, then releasing it all at once, only then could the enhancement of curse power shatter a school building with a single strike, otherwise, Reiger’s curse power usage wouldn’t cause a qualitative shift.

Until... Reiger encountered Stone Dragons.

Stone Dragons was an ancient curse mage known as the first in curse power output in the Destruction Revisit, a human cannon of sorts, his technique was [Curse Power Release] itself.

His curse power output allowed him to use a vast amount of curse power with each attack, even forming shockwaves, blasting people away like releasing lasers.

Reiger learned Kurui Hana’s technique, and also learned Stone Dragons’ technique.

Since then, Reiger’s curse power output has skyrocketed, at least several times, even tenfold compared to before.

Now, Reiger has finally unleashed the advantages of his abundant curse power.

The reason his curse power appears calmer and quieter isn’t because he’s outputting less curse power.

Quite the opposite, he’s outputting an incredible amount of curse power, such that if he doesn’t control it properly, he might turn into a human tornado, blowing away everything wherever he goes.

Fortunately, because the [Limitless Curse Technique] requires extremely high curse power control skills, Reiger’s curse power control is comparable to, or possibly even better than Gojo Satoru who possesses the Six Eyes.

Therefore, he perfectly controlled the storm-like output of curse power, preventing it from escaping his physical body, creating that calm and tranquil feeling.

Just like the ground being cold, but the deeper underground closer to the earth’s core getting hotter, underneath that seemingly calm curse power lies its truly frenzied and massive nature.

With such a scale of curse power output, Reiger’s strength naturally grew comprehensively, allowing him to securely withstand Sukuna’s group’s violent attacks, seemingly effortlessly elevating his capability, yet upon eruption, the power was extraordinary.

Such Reiger has essentially fulfilled the initial intent of coming to this world.

That is to integrate the curse power system into close combat to enhance close combat capabilities.

Now, his close combat abilities have surpassed magical abilities, and his strength has more than doubled compared to when he first arrived in this world.

Gojo Satoru even saw through Reiger’s current intentions.

"He, is using Sukuna to adapt to his current power."

Just like upgrading when the body appears disoriented due to inability to adapt to the surge of power, now Reiger’s explosive curse power output seems to bring about the same issue without upgrading.

Yet in the fierce battle with Sukuna, Reiger was quickly adapting to this power, seemingly at a disadvantage, yet the pressure emitted was so immense that even Sukuna began to look solemn.
