Chapter 13: Easy Victory
The Gun Devil attempted to penetrate the Infinity but failed.
"Long-range combat isn't my style," Eiji remarked.
After saying that, Eiji moved at high speed, causing the ceramic floor beneath him to crack and form a small crater.
*Whoosh*
In an instant, he was in front of the Gun Devil. Clenching his fist, he struck his opponent's chest forcefully.
*BAM*
The large figure of the Gun Devil was thrown backward by the blow. Before crashing into the wall, Eiji appeared behind him and hit his back.
*BAM BAM BAM*
Eiji repeatedly struck the Gun Devil, not giving him a chance to retaliate.
*Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh*
*BAM BAM BAM*
"Is this truly a Special Grade Cursed Spirit? Relying solely on pure strength and speed, Kamiki-san dominates the fight."
Ijichi's mouth hung wide open; the battle before him was too astonishing.
If Eiji used the Limitless Technique, Ijichi wouldn't be too surprised, as it would be a one-sided battle. However, Eiji was relying solely on pure physical strength!
It's too unbelievable!
"This is too fast..."
Ijichi tried his best to record the fight with his handheld camera.
On the other side, while still in the air, Eiji pulled the right hand of the Gun Devil until it was severed.
"Graaaaa!!!"
The Gun Devil screamed in pain.
"Noisy."
Feeling nothing due to dealing with a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Eiji delivered a powerful punch to the Gun Devil, causing it to fall to the first floor.
*BOOMMM*
The entire shopping center shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Floating in the air, Eiji expressionlessly stared at the location where the Gun Devil fell.
"I'm still holding back. Don't lose too quickly."
His right hand was enveloped in red light.
*Whoosh*
From within the smoke, the Gun Devil was pulled towards Eiji, unable to resist.
*Da Da Da Da*
*Da Da Da Da*
*Da Da Da Da*
All the firearms on the Gun Devil's body were fired simultaneously.
Tens of thousands of bullets stopped a few meters from Eiji and could never reach him.
"Is that all?"
Holding the humanoid body of the Gun Devil with one hand, Eiji deliberately provoked his opponent.
"Gahhhhh!!!"
Seeing the disdain in Eiji's eyes, the Gun Devil roared in anger. The next moment, the shopping center turned into a military base filled with tanks, helicopters, howitzers, mortars, cannons, and other weaponry.
"Domain Expansion!!!"
Realizing the environmental change, Ijichi was terrified.
He couldn't even contend with a Grade 3 Cursed Spirit, and now he was in the territory of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit Domain Expansion.
It's essential to note that among Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers, only a few can replace Domain Expansion.
Domain Expansion is a trump card and won't be easily used as it consumes a large amount of Cursed Energy.
Ijichi never thought that one day he would be trapped inside a Domain Expansion.
He's just an ordinary manager, okay?
"Kamiki-san! Stop playing around! I'll die too if you don't do something!"
Looking around, Ijichi swallowed his saliva, his legs trembling, and he could barely stand upright. He worried about not being able to avoid a bullet rain if the Gun Devil attacked.
"Hmph."
Eiji snorted coldly, then threw the Gun Devil in his hand as if disposing of trash.
*BAM*
The Gun Devil landed firmly on the ground. Looking up, its gaze was filled with hatred towards Eiji.
"Come on, attack me with your full power." Eiji said emotionlessly.
"Gahhhh!!!" The Gun Devil screamed in anger.
The countless firearms then unleashed ammunition from all directions.
"Alright. Playtime's over. Let me show you a bit of my power to earn that Special Grade ranking."
The mental cognition of the Six Eyes could transform a moment in reality into more than a minute in his mind. For Eiji, the opponent's attacks were too slow, and he had time to mutter in his thoughts.
He appeared in front of Ijichi to shield him from the attack.
Then, an energy ball resembling a miniature sun manifested above the Gun Devil's head.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Scarlet."
The next moment, the extreme temperature equivalent to the sun burned all the bullets and countless weapons.
The Domain Expansion couldn't withstand the sun's temperature and crumbled.
Eiji and Ijichi returned to the shopping center.
"Mission accomplished."
Eiji nodded in satisfaction at the first trial of his newly developed creation technique, honed through the Limitless Technique.
It was his first time testing this skill on a Cursed Spirit. Moreover, the target for its destruction was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit!
Similar to Red, which converted Negative Energy into Positive Energy, Scarlet also utilized Positive Energy.
The basic principle of Scarlet was to reverse the nature of Negative Energy, causing a strong increase in kinetic energy and material temperature in the surrounding area. This led to the instant sublimation of matter, liquid evaporation, and gas ionization, turning the area into a miniature sun that burned everything. This process was caused by the mathematical limit direction reversing towards zero and then towards infinity, creating a visually similar effect but with entirely opposite physical effects.
Eiji didn't want to rely on the Limitless Cursed Technique, which hadn't been innovated for over 1000 years.
"Ka-Kamiki-san, ho-how is that Special Grade Cursed Spirit?"
After coming back to his senses, Ijichi asked hesitantly.
"Dead. Burned to ashes." Eiji's response was brief, concise, and clear.
"Thank goodness you used that attack in the enemy's Domain Expansion. If not, I fear the entire shopping center would have disappeared."
Ijichi took a handkerchief, wiped his sweaty forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um." Eiji nodded without arguing.
Even if the Gun Devil didn't use Domain Expansion, Eiji could defeat it with his physical strength alone.
(But fighting with just fists doesn't maximize my potential physical strength. Maybe I should change my fighting style and use weapons, just like Toji)
Through his first battle, Eiji discovered some weaknesses in himself. Despite being strong, his combat experience was almost zero.
(To become stronger, it's not enough to rely solely on brute strength. I need to sharpen my combat experience)
Eiji wasn't satisfied just because he easily defeated a Special Grade Cursed Spirit. Besides, other Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers could do the same.
Even Toji, without possessing Cursed Energy and relying on his superhuman physical constitution thanks to Heavenly Restrictions, was able to defeat Dagon.
According to Eiji's assessment based on Lin Fan's memories, even though both were ranked as Special Grade Cursed Spirits, Dagon was stronger than the Gun Devil.
"Kamiki-san, let's go. The rest will be taken care of by other divisions."
Seeing him lost in thought, Ijichi spoke politely, afraid of making him angry.
"Oh." Eiji nodded.
Both of them left the shopping center.
Eiji got into the car first, while Ijichi made a phone call.
"I want to know how much the fee is for exterminating a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
Taking his wallet from his pants pocket, Eiji noticed he only had 20,000 yen.
In any case, all his needs were provided by the Gojo Family, and they didn't give him pocket money.
This 20,000 yen was given by Shoko when she found out Eiji didn't receive pocket money.
Since Eiji wasn't allowed to leave the Gojo Residence, he had never used this money.
