"That damn bastard, that arrogant idiot, that moron."
"How could he dare hide such a dangerous curse spirit?"
Yuki Tsukumo was utterly numb.
What Satoru Gojo had done was no longer merely causing trouble.
He had practically placed a Sword of Damocles over everyone's heads, one that could fall at any moment.
Who knew when that sword would come down and take everyone's lives?
Satoru Gojo could clearly have gotten rid of that dangerous Death Curse Spirit from the very beginning.
Yet he had dragged it out until now.
The only thing worth being thankful for was probably that the Death Curse Spirit had not yet grown stronger.
It was not too late to nip it in the bud now.
Even so, Yuki Tsukumo still wanted nothing more than to hammer Satoru Gojo to death.
He had been far too reckless.
Of course, the most urgent matter now was not interrogating Satoru Gojo.
It was dealing with that Death Curse Spirit.
To ensure they achieved that goal, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups had specifically arranged for Satoru Gojo to be sent away, lest he ruin things here.
It could be said that Ronawa was now completely isolated and helpless.
After all, they were going to exorcise the Death Curse Spirit.
The stakes were simply too high.
To ensure nothing went wrong, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups naturally had not sent Yuki Tsukumo alone.
Besides Yuki Tsukumo, there were many people from the Three Great Families, as well as several from Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Simply put, they had laid down a net from which Ronawa could not escape.
They sought to succeed in a single battle and leave no future trouble behind.
Ronawa still knew nothing of any of this.
However, when she returned from Suguru Geto's place,
the moment she reached the vicinity of Shoko Ieiri's home, she sensed that something was wrong.
At that moment, Yuki Tsukumo, who realized she had been exposed, stepped out from the shadows.
"As expected of the Death Curse Spirit. Your senses are truly sharp!"
"Even though I suppressed my cursed energy to the absolute limit, you still noticed me."
Yuki Tsukumo assumed Ronawa had sensed her cursed energy.
But in reality, "Well, actually, it was because that guy was staring at me too intently."
"It was hard not to notice."
Ronawa looked at Aoi Todo behind Yuki Tsukumo.
Caught off guard by being called out, Aoi Todo froze for a moment before awkwardly scratching the back of his head.
Faced with Yuki Tsukumo's furious gaze, he weakly explained, "Well, she was just too pretty."
"I couldn't help taking a few extra looks."
Aoi Todo had originally thought his type was a hot blonde beauty like Yuki Tsukumo.
Only after seeing Ronawa did he suddenly realize
that he did not merely prefer a particular type.
He simply liked beautiful people!
Ronawa's looks were the kind that could erase every difference in taste and appeal to everyone.
Besides, Ronawa's figure was pretty damn nice too.
It was perfectly normal for Aoi Todo to stare himself senseless.
While Yuki Tsukumo looked at Aoi Todo with disgust,
Ronawa was also pondering how her identity had been exposed.
After all, Yuki Tsukumo had immediately revealed her identity upon appearing.
It was obvious that the information had leaked.
The question was, how had it leaked?
Very few people knew Ronawa was the Death Curse Spirit.
Only Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Shoko Ieiri.
Of them, Shoko Ieiri was the least likely.
She was far too easy to handle.
There was no way she could act like an infatuated fangirl around Ronawa
while selling her out at lightning speed.
If she could pull that off, Ronawa would admit defeat.

After ruling out Shoko Ieiri, only Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto remained.
Satoru Gojo was unlikely. If he wanted to scheme against Ronawa, he would not need to make things so complicated; he could simply kill her.
Besides, the fact that Ronawa had managed to hide her identity as the Death Curse Spirit until now was entirely thanks to Satoru Gojo.
So Satoru Gojo was ruled out first.
That left Suguru Geto.
That guy really could have betrayed Ronawa.
After all, he wanted to win Ronawa over to his side.
The best way to do that was to make Ronawa break with the sorcerers.
And achieving that was actually very simple.
He only needed to reveal Ronawa's identity.
Still, there were some doubts.
If Suguru Geto wanted Ronawa to be hunted by sorcerers,
he had plenty of methods available. There was no need to directly flip the table like this.
After all, Ronawa's identity as the Death Curse Spirit was the leverage Suguru Geto held over her.
He could not possibly reveal his trump card so easily.
After thinking for a moment, Ronawa quickly came up with another possibility.
That was the mysterious "Lord Tengen"!
Tengen was very powerful, and his barrier techniques were unquestionably the strongest.
In fact, all of Japan lay within barriers created by Tengen.
This was also why Japan had so many sorcerers and curse spirits, and why they were so powerful.
It was all Tengen's fault.
Furthermore, through the barriers covering Japan, Tengen could do something akin to being "all-knowing."
Theoretically, Japan held no secrets from Tengen.
He knew everything.
Including Ronawa's affairs.
The more she thought about it, the more Ronawa felt that Tengen was the most likely culprit.
That made Ronawa completely remember this guy, Tengen.
She would remember this grudge.
If she got the chance later, she would have to let Tengen experience what it felt like to be bisected at the waist!
But for now, she first had to find a way to survive.
Her eyes scanned the surroundings as she considered how to escape.
Naturally, Yuki Tsukumo noticed this as well.
She did not stop her, because a massive barrier soon descended out of nowhere.
Like a transparent glass dome, it covered the surrounding area.
Of course, that did not mean Ronawa could not escape.
In truth, Ronawa's way of escaping through Distance Kill had no answer.
It was simply that using that method to flee now would consume far more than usual.
This was because the barrier surrounding them was designed to seal in those within it.
Breaking through it would require several times more cursed energy than normal.
It was obvious they had come prepared and intended to settle everything in one battle.
However, Ronawa was not actually that panicked.
She was long past who she had once been.
Did they really think she was still that weak little thing whom any Special-Grade Rank could kick to death?
Although Special-Grade Curses were very weak when they were first born,
even a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer could potentially exorcise one.
At the same time, however, Special-Grade Curses grew very quickly.
They could easily become powerful.
Ronawa was even more so.
As the Death Curse Spirit, her growth rate was absolutely among the fastest of all curse spirits.
Therefore, Ronawa was no longer who she had once been.
Anyone who viewed her through the lens of the past would only be killed by her.
Yuki Tsukumo and the others had indeed shown sufficient respect.
They had not only dispatched a Special Grade Sorcerer, but also sent many elite Grade 1 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers to surround and attack her.
But honestly, this level of force was still not enough to take Ronawa down!
