The Battle Ends, Mutual Threats!

Amid a series of ordinary slashes,

a Black Flash suddenly appeared.

It was as disgusting as a boss suddenly hitting you with a delayed strike.

Yuki Tsukumo could not react in time at all.

The Death Feather Sword struck her directly.

She was immediately sent flying and crashed heavily into a nearby building.

Before Yuki Tsukumo could regain her footing, another Death Feather Sword came slashing at her, still crackling with black lightning.

At the critical moment, her good student Aoi Todo stepped in and switched places with Yuki Tsukumo.

That saved her life.

Otherwise, this Special Grade Sorcerer would have died here.

Even so, the Black Flash she had taken earlier still left Yuki Tsukumo seriously injured.

A long, narrow wound stretched from her left shoulder to her right abdomen, nearly cutting her diagonally in half.

What was even more troublesome was that wounds inflicted by the Death Feather Sword could not heal at all.

Not even Reverse Cursed Technique worked.

Unless something unexpected happened, that wound would keep bleeding Yuki Tsukumo indefinitely from now on.

That was the terrifying part of Death Feather.

"This thing is far too ridiculous!"

Enduring the agonizing pain from her wound, Yuki Tsukumo gritted her teeth as she spoke.

At that moment, the person she hated most was not Ronawa.

It was that damned Satoru Gojo.

Just look at what kind of monster you protected.

How long had it even been? She was already this outrageous.

If she kept growing for a while longer, would Ronawa not force the entire Jujutsu Society to its knees all by herself?

What kind of mindset had Satoru Gojo possessed back then to choose to protect such a terrifying monster?

At the same time, Yuki Tsukumo could hear it clearly.

The sounds of battle around them were growing fainter and fainter.

Of course, it was not because Ronawa could no longer hold on. It was because the sorcerers around her were nearly all dead.

Sure enough, when Yuki Tsukumo looked up, she saw Ronawa standing in the air with a somewhat bored expression.

Like she was looking at ants, she gazed down at the sorcerers below, who were almost completely dead.

As though she had sensed Yuki Tsukumo's gaze, Ronawa turned her head toward her.

"You two are still alive?"

"But that's fine. I can kill you now all the same!"

Ronawa reiterated that she was not actually a bloodthirsty Curse Spirit.

She was very clear about grudges and favors.

She would never create slaughter or death for no reason.

But conversely, she would never spare an enemy either.

No matter what roles Yuki Tsukumo and Aoi Todo had been meant to play in the original plot,

they had now become enemies. Naturally, Ronawa had no intention of letting them go.

Just as she was about to kill this master and student together,

the barrier surrounding them suddenly shattered.

Immediately afterward, the voice of Jujutsu High's principal, Masamichi Yaga, rang out. "Death Curse Spirit, if you don't want her to be hurt, stop at once!"

Following the sound, Ronawa saw Masamichi Yaga arriving with a group of sorcerers.

Behind Masamichi Yaga was Shoko Ieiri, who had already been restrained.

Even Ronawa's expression changed at that moment.

Although she had not known Shoko Ieiri for long,

Shoko Ieiri had truly treated her well. Living off her had been quite nice.

Therefore, Ronawa really could not remain indifferent when Shoko Ieiri was being threatened.

Seeing Ronawa stop, Masamichi Yaga let out a breath of relief.

Using Shoko Ieiri to threaten Ronawa, using the lives of his own sorcerers to threaten a Curse Spirit,

sounded extremely despicable.

But Masamichi Yaga truly had no other choice.

They had severely underestimated Ronawa's danger, allowing things to develop into their current state.

With no other option, he could only use such a despicable method to force Ronawa into submission.

As long as they could exorcise the Death Curse Spirit in the end, any method, no matter how despicable, would be worth it.

Facing Masamichi Yaga's threat, Ronawa's expression did not change much. She remained cold.

Only when she looked at Shoko Ieiri did her gaze inevitably waver.

This foolish woman. Didn't she know how to run?

Shoko Ieiri was also looking at Ronawa.

Her gaze was so complicated that words could hardly describe it.

At that moment, Shoko Ieiri could not even express how she felt.

What had happened today had completely overturned her worldview.

She was a sorcerer, and Jujutsu High's doctor.

She should have been one of their own.

Yet she had been captured and turned into a hostage.

A hostage used to threaten a Curse Spirit, no less.

In a sense, Shoko Ieiri had brought this upon herself.

After all, harboring a Curse Spirit was a capital crime for a sorcerer.

She had no one else to blame.

But Shoko Ieiri still felt that this was too surreal.

Then again, Jujutsu Society itself was an absurd and surreal place.

A gathering place for absurd people, you know?

Faced with Masamichi Yaga using Shoko Ieiri as a hostage to force her to give up resisting,

Ronawa chose without hesitation to control invisible "hands," wielding the Death Feather Sword and slashing at Masamichi Yaga.

Black lightning flashed into existence—Black Flash!

Just as Masamichi Yaga was about to be cut down by Ronawa's sword, his actions shocked everyone.

He did not dodge. Instead, he swung his blade at Shoko Ieiri's neck.

Even if Ronawa killed him, he intended to kill Shoko Ieiri first.

Left with no choice, Ronawa changed the Death Feather Sword's trajectory and severed the long blade in Masamichi Yaga's hand.

It had to be said that Masamichi Yaga was well suited to wield a sword.

He was far too ruthless and hardcore.

"Do you want to try again? Next time, I won't give you another chance to save her!"

"If you want her to live, there is only one way: give up resisting."

"Only then can she atone for what she has done."

Listening to Masamichi Yaga's words, Ronawa withdrew her presence and dispersed the giant eyeball above her head.

She also changed back into her previous casual clothes.

She looked as though she were about to give up resisting.

In reality, Ronawa would never foolishly surrender.

That would be a guaranteed death sentence.

She was simply growing tired of this.

"You can try killing her. If you do, I guarantee there will never be another group called sorcerers in this world."

"If you think I can't do it, feel free to try."

"And Miss Shoko, forgive me for saying this, but your cooking is really terrible."

After calmly delivering her threat to Masamichi Yaga,

Ronawa instantly closed the distance.

In the blink of an eye, she vanished before everyone's eyes.

Watching Ronawa leave, Masamichi Yaga rubbed his forehead with a headache.

He knew things had become completely troublesome now.

From now on, every sorcerer might have to face a fatal threat named Ronawa.

Before getting rid of Ronawa, he did not even dare punish the culprits, Shoko Ieiri and Satoru Gojo.

Satoru Gojo was simply too strong. He could not be defeated.

As for Shoko Ieiri,

after Ronawa had made those threats,

who would dare stubbornly do anything to Shoko Ieiri for real?

What if Ronawa truly went dark because of it?

The Death Curse Spirit—an existence that seemed like something from myth.

How were they supposed to fight her?

This would undoubtedly become an unsolvable problem that every sorcerer would have to face in the future.
