Satoru Gojo was no fool.
After learning how Ronawa's domain worked,
he would have to be insane to want to challenge it.
Defining existence and nonexistence.
Just hearing that mechanism, he knew it was sinister beyond measure.
Only if a donkey had kicked him in the head would he challenge Ronawa just to give himself a thrill.
So, without hesitation, Satoru Gojo refused Ronawa's proposal.
Seeing that Satoru Gojo had not taken the bait, Ronawa pouted in disappointment.
Then, together with Satoru Gojo, she dispelled their respective domains.
And that meant the battle had officially ended.
After both sides displayed their godlike techniques, the fight had ended more or less evenly matched.
Ronawa was quite satisfied with that outcome.
The reason was simple: time was on her side.
For now, she could only fight Satoru Gojo to a draw.
But after some more time passed,
she might be able to beat Satoru Gojo with ease.
When it came to future potential,
Satoru Gojo also found the result deeply moving.
Who would have thought that the Curse Spirit he had spared on a moment of softness
would grow to this extent in such a short time?
And Satoru Gojo knew very well how quickly Ronawa grew.
For now, he could still suppress Ronawa.
But in the future, Ronawa would probably be chasing him around and beating him up.
Fortunately, Ronawa's nature had already earned Satoru Gojo's approval.
Otherwise, against such a terrifying enemy,
Satoru Gojo would truly risk his life just to take Ronawa down with him!
After the great battle ended, neither of them hurried to leave.
Instead, they gathered together and chatted about this and that.
When it was about time, they said goodbye.
Then they went off to do their own things.
Ronawa intended to head straight home. If she got back now, she could still mooch dinner at Suguru Geto's place.
Satoru Gojo, meanwhile, planned to return directly to Jujutsu High.
He would tell the sorcerers waiting for the battle's result that he had done his best,
but had ultimately failed.
It was then that Satoru Gojo encountered the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups who had chased after him.
Seeing that every one of them looked travel-worn, with some even bearing injuries,
Satoru Gojo smiled and asked, "How rare. You actually came out in person."
"And you even fought someone. Were you really in that much of a hurry?"
The old head of the Gojo Clan glared at Satoru Gojo.
Only then did he say, "Where is that Curse Spirit? Did you kill her?"
Satoru Gojo's eyes shifted, and a lie rolled right off his tongue.
"I wanted to exorcise her outright too, but unfortunately, she got away."
"If you go after her now, you might still have a chance to catch up."
The Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups did not particularly doubt Satoru Gojo's words.
They had expected Satoru Gojo to let Ronawa go.
At the same time, they sensed intense residual cursed energy from the battlefield not far away.
Upon closer inspection, there were even traces of Satoru Gojo's "Unlimited Void."
In other words, Ronawa had indeed escaped, but before being let go, she had truly fought Satoru Gojo.
And Satoru Gojo had even used Unlimited Void.
They knew full well how formidable Unlimited Void was.
Even one second of being flooded with that vast amount of information was enough to leave a Special Grade Sorcerer suffering severe aftereffects.
In other words, Ronawa was currently at her weakest.
This was clearly the best chance to completely exorcise the Death Curse Spirit.
What they did not know was that this was all part of Satoru Gojo's scheme.
In truth, Satoru Gojo knew Ronawa's condition very well. She showed absolutely no signs of weakness.
In other words, if the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups truly pursued her and caught up with Ronawa,
they would definitely receive a harsh lesson from her.
And that was Satoru Gojo's response to the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups' scheme against him last time.
Satoru Gojo held grudges!
At the same time, after being plotted against last time,
Satoru Gojo had also lost patience with the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups.
For the moment, he still could not bring himself to decide to eliminate those Higher-Ups.
So Ronawa could do it in his place.
And he believed Ronawa would be more than happy to do that sort of thing.
Just as Satoru Gojo was holding back his laughter,
the head of the Gojo Clan seemed to recall something and turned to Satoru Gojo. "Just now, Suguru Geto attacked Jujutsu High and unleashed the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons."
The instant he heard that, Satoru Gojo's smile froze.
Then his Six Eyes locked onto the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups.
He nearly could not restrain himself from slaughtering them all.
"So, you killed him?"
The head of the Gojo Clan shook his head.
"No. We only severely wounded him and let him escape."
"But he was gravely injured. Unless something unexpected happens, he is as good as dead!"
"Of course, if someone can save him, he might still survive!"
The Gojo Clan had not said this out of kindness, of course.
They wanted to completely draw Satoru Gojo away.
After all, Satoru Gojo had been able to let Ronawa escape.
There was no guarantee he would not intervene to save her when they surrounded and killed Ronawa.
So, to be safe, they had to make Satoru Gojo leave.
Only then could they free up their hands to deal with Ronawa.
But Satoru Gojo had no mind to think about any of that right now.
Upon hearing that Suguru Geto was on the brink of death, he teleported away without another word.
As for Ronawa and the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups, he could not be bothered to interfere any further.
It could only be said that both Satoru Gojo and the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups had countless schemes up their sleeves.
They were digging traps for one another.
Only this time, Satoru Gojo had dug the bigger pit.
Following the cursed energy Ronawa had left behind, the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups tracked her all the way.
In the end, they caught up to Ronawa at the outskirts of Tokyo Metropolis.
And immediately surrounded her.
Then the head of the Gojo Clan stepped forward and said to Ronawa, "Ronawa, Death Curse Spirit, today is the day you are exorcised!"
"Surrender without resistance and preserve what little dignity you have!"
Though Ronawa was surrounded, she did not panic in the slightest.
She swept her gaze around them before saying, "I did not expect you old fossils to come in person."
"I thought you only knew how to hide behind the scenes and play dirty tricks."
"Looks like I underestimated you. You do have some courage after all."
Ronawa's words made quite a few of the Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups look grim.
Of course, it was not because they had been mocked.
Rather, if they had a choice, they would prefer to hide behind the scenes and let the young people risk their lives for them.
But these were special circumstances.
They truly could not find any suitable young people to risk their lives in their place.
So they could only grit their teeth and come themselves.
Fortunately, this time they had an exceptional opportunity.
Ronawa had just finished a fierce battle with Satoru Gojo and had also been hit by Satoru Gojo's Unlimited Void.
She was at her weakest.
This was the best opportunity to take Ronawa down in one stroke.
What they did not know was that
they had run into Ronawa at the peak of her strength!
