Satoru Gojo was no idiot. After learning how Ronawa's domain worked,
he would have had to be insane to want to challenge it. Defining existence and nonexistence—
that mechanism sounded shady as hell. He would have had to have been kicked in the head by a donkey to challenge Ronawa just for some thrills.
So Satoru Gojo decisively rejected Ronawa's proposal. Seeing that Gojo had not taken the bait, Ronawa pouted in disappointment.
Then, together with Gojo, she dispelled their respective domains. That also meant the battle had officially come to an end.
After both sides had displayed their godlike techniques, the fight had ended in a rough draw. Ronawa was quite satisfied with that outcome.
The reason was simple: time was on her side. Right now, she could only fight Gojo to a standstill.
But after a little more time,
she might be able to beat Satoru Gojo senseless.
When it came to being a warrior of the future.
Satoru Gojo, meanwhile, had mixed feelings about the outcome. Who could have imagined that the curse spirit he had spared on a momentary whim
would grow to this extent in such a short time?
And Gojo knew full well how quickly Ronawa was growing.
For now, he could still suppress Ronawa. But in the future, Ronawa would probably be the one chasing him down and hammering him.
Fortunately, Ronawa's nature had already earned Gojo's approval.
Otherwise, against such a terrifying enemy,
Gojo really would have risked his life to take Ronawa down with him!
After the battle, neither of them hurried to leave.
Instead, they got together and chatted about this and that.
When it was about time, they said goodbye.
Then they each went off to do their own thing.
Ronawa planned to head straight home. If she got back now, she could still mooch dinner at Suguru Geto's place.
Gojo, meanwhile, was also preparing to return directly to Jujutsu High.
He intended to tell the sorcerers waiting for the battle's outcome that he had done his best.
But in the end, he still had not succeeded.
It was then that Gojo ran into the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups, who had come rushing over.
Seeing that every one of them looked travel-worn, with some even bearing injuries, 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 Gojo Clan's old patriarch glared at Satoru Gojo.
Only then did he ask, "Where is that curse spirit? Did you kill her?"
Gojo's eyes rolled, and a lie came effortlessly to his lips.
"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's Higher-Ups did not particularly doubt Gojo's words.
They had expected Gojo to let Ronawa go in the first place.
At the same time, they could sense powerful remnants of cursed energy from the nearby battlefield.
Upon closer inspection, they could even detect traces of Gojo's Unlimited Void.
In other words, Ronawa had indeed escaped, but before being let go, she had genuinely fought Gojo.
And Gojo had even used Unlimited Void.
They knew perfectly well how terrifying Unlimited Void was.
Even being flooded with that vast amount of information for a single second was enough to leave a Special Grade Sorcerer with 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 Gojo's scheme.
In truth, Gojo knew Ronawa's condition very well. There was absolutely no sign of weakness in her.
That meant if the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups really chased after her and caught up with Ronawa,
they would definitely receive a harsh lesson from her.
And this was Gojo's response to the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups plotting against him last time.
Satoru Gojo held grudges!
At the same time, after being set up last time,
he had also run out of patience with the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups.
But for the moment, he still could not bring himself to resolve to eliminate them.
So Ronawa could do it in his stead.
And he believed Ronawa would be more than happy to do this sort of thing.
Just as Gojo was holding back his laughter to keep from bursting out,
the Gojo Clan patriarch seemed to remember something and turned to him. "Just now, Suguru Geto attacked Jujutsu High and launched the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons."
The moment he heard that, Gojo's smile froze.
Then his Six Eyes locked onto the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups.
He nearly lost control and began slaughtering them.
"So, you killed him?"
The Gojo Clan patriarch shook his head.
"No. We only severely wounded him and let him escape."
"But his injuries are grave. Unless something unexpected happens, he is as good as dead!"
"Of course, if someone can save him, he may still survive!"
The Gojo Clan did not say this out of kindness.
They simply wanted to completely draw Satoru Gojo away.
After all, Gojo could let Ronawa escape.
There was no guarantee he would not intervene to save her when they surrounded and killed Ronawa.
To be safe, they had to make Gojo leave.
Only then could they free up their hands to deal with Ronawa.
But Gojo had no mind to think about any of that right now.
Upon hearing that Suguru Geto was near death, he immediately teleported away without another word.
As for Ronawa and the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups, he could not be bothered to interfere anymore.
It could only be said that Satoru Gojo and the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups both had hundreds of schemes in their heads.
They were both digging pits for each other.
It was just that this time, the pit Gojo had dug was bigger.
Following the cursed energy Ronawa had left behind, the Jujutsu Society's Higher-Ups tracked her all the way.
They eventually caught up to Ronawa on the outskirts of Tokyo.
In an instant, they surrounded her.
Then the Gojo Clan patriarch stepped forward and said to Ronawa, "Death Curse Spirit Ronawa, today is the day you will be exorcised!"
"Surrender peacefully and leave yourself some dignity!"
Though Ronawa was surrounded, she was not panicked in the slightest.
She swept her gaze around before saying, "I never thought you old fossils would 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 darkened the expressions of quite a few Jujutsu Society Higher-Ups.
Of course, it was not because they had been mocked.
If they had a choice, they would have preferred to stay behind the scenes and let the younger generation risk their lives for them.
But these were special circumstances.
They truly could not find any suitable young people to risk their lives for them now.
They could only bite the bullet and do it themselves.
Fortunately, this time they had an excellent opportunity.
Ronawa had just finished a great battle with Satoru Gojo and had even been hit by his Unlimited Void.
She was currently at her weakest.
This was the best possible moment to take Ronawa down in one stroke.
What they did not know was that the Ronawa they had encountered
was at the height of her power!
