Whose domain was this, anyway!

Dagon had no time to worry about them now. At its command, surging seawater rose toward the sky like countless giant hands reaching up to support the lava.

Mist filled the air, almost forming a sea of clouds above Dagon.

Yue Liusi emerged from the seawater, the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword gleaming coldly in his hand.

The next second, Phoenix Flower Jutsu activated. Over a hundred fireballs shot into the sky, then hurtled toward the lava that was about to solidify!

Dagon had only just managed to stop the lava, expending a considerable amount of cursed energy, when the Phoenix Flower Jutsu blasted the fragile, half-solidified lava apart.

Then a meteor shower poured down!

Flames mixed with chunks of lava of all sizes, blanketing the sky!

"Whose family is this young man from? How is he so fierce?"

Beside Megumi Fushiguro, Naobito Zenin looked stunned. Just who was this jujutsu sorcerer who had suddenly appeared? Why did he have no recollection of him at all?

Someone this powerful should have been familiar!

Nanami and Maki were equally surprised. Both looked at Megumi Fushiguro, who seemed to be the only one who knew anything.

But Megumi Fushiguro was just as bewildered.

Had Yue Liusi gotten stronger again?

Or had he been hiding his strength all along?

"Special Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer, Yue Liusi."

Despite his confusion, Megumi Fushiguro introduced Yue Liusi.

Semi-Grade 2?

Everyone looked at that figure.

Naobito Zenin's mouth twitched.

Even at his age, he found this hard to understand.

This was Grade 2? Then what did that make him, a Grade 1?

What a load of nonsense.

"He probably just hasn't had time to get promoted. Either way, he's on our side. With him here, this operation will be a lot easier."

Megumi Fushiguro offered a casual explanation. Just as he was about to ask whether everyone wanted to withdraw from the domain, two arms reached through the small passage he had opened!

A sense of pressure arose.

Another one?!

The Heavenly Tyrant joined the fray!

Elsewhere, there were too many fiery meteors for Dagon to dodge. One measuring a full half meter across slammed it straight into the ground.

Yue Liusi gave him no chance to catch his breath. He closed in instantly, and alongside the flashing blade of the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, two water dragons roared toward Dagon to crush it!

Before, he would never have dared use ninjutsu this way, but things were different now.

A terrifying shock wave spread outward. Dagon finally broke free from beneath the fiery meteor and retreated dozens of meters.

Even after using a large number of shikigami to block the attacks, one of its arms had still been completely torn apart. Its body was charred and covered in wounds.

Seeing Dagon recovering, Yue Liusi naturally would not give it the chance. Just as he was about to attack again, a sudden sense of danger came from beside him!

Boom!

Yue Liusi shot backward. The force transmitted through the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword was enough to leave his hand numb.

So fast!

Without the Sharingan's aid, he probably would not have been able to make out Toji Fushiguro's movements with his naked eyes.

And his strength far exceeded Dagon's!

Ahead of him, Toji Fushiguro did not pursue Yue Liusi. Instead, he stood in place, toying with Playful Cloud-the "toy" he had snatched from Maki.

His gaze shifted between Yue Liusi and Dagon, as though comparing which of them was stronger.

Yue Liusi tightened his grip on the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Faced with what looked like a two-on-one situation, he should have retreated by any normal reasoning. He could try taking on one, but now there was another-and it was the even stronger Tyrant.

But...

[Task one completed]

His stamina recovered rapidly. Warm currents swept through his entire body, enhancing its functions. In an instant, Yue Liusi's perception, speed, strength, reactions, endurance, and more were all rapidly improving.

His chakra reserves rose once again as well. After all, physical energy was one of chakra's components. Though the increase was not as dramatic as before, it was enough to replenish what he had just expended.

Two against one!

How could he not give it a try!

As Yue Liusi's aura changed, Toji Fushiguro's gaze abruptly settled on him!

Clearly, he now knew who the strongest person present was.

Dagon knew nothing of what the two were thinking, but it knew it had to deal with Yue Liusi now.

Its abdomen burst open, and a ferocious sea snake suddenly lunged at Yue Liusi!

Yue Liusi's expression remained unchanged. He slashed with the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, sending several keen, almost tangible flashes of the blade straight through the sea snake and cutting it to pieces.

But his attention was not on Dagon.

Toji Fushiguro... moved!

Too fast!

The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword and Playful Cloud collided violently, scattering sparks. The tremendous impact forced Yue Liusi back again.

Though Advanced Taijutsu Mastery had considerably increased his strength, it had only shored up his weakness in that area. His physique was still far behind Toji Fushiguro's.

To contend with him through pure taijutsu, he would probably need the "Eight Gates Release," but he did not have that skill at all right now.

He could only make up the difference with chakra enhancement.

Against Toji Fushiguro, he had only three advantages compared with Dagon.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, and the Sharingan!

The sword of nothingness, the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, blocked another attack from Toji Fushiguro.

Toji Fushiguro's movements paused briefly, as though he was a little surprised that Yue Liusi could keep up with him time after time.

Meanwhile, Dagon was quite delighted to see Yue Liusi being suppressed.

Since he had attacked Yue Liusi, that meant... this human who had appeared out of nowhere was on its side!

Let me help you!

But just as Dagon moved forward to join the fight, Toji Fushiguro turned his pitch-black eyes toward it. Then his figure abruptly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Dagon.

Playful Cloud struck, slamming hard into its abdomen!

The heavy blow sent it flying backward, leaving it momentarily dazed.

Wasn't he on its side?

Dagon happened to be sent flying toward Yue Liusi. Seeing him, it instinctively tried to attack.

Yue Liusi's eyes were cold. He cut straight through the incoming shark, then pressed one hand against Dagon.

With his improved physique, his speed had already increased considerably. With chakra enhancing it further, Dagon had no time to react.

"Get lost!"

In an instant, endless lava gushed out like a blooming red lotus, blasting Dagon into the distance and engulfing it completely!

Since Toji Fushiguro did not want Dagon disrupting their battle, Yue Liusi naturally did not want to divide his attention to deal with it either.

After taking a blow from Toji Fushiguro and then a violent deluge of lava, Dagon had nearly suffered grievous injuries.

It finally struggled free of the lava in the distance, its charred body utterly bedraggled. Watching the two locked in fierce combat elsewhere, it fell into confusion.

It had been excluded from this so-called battle altogether.

Neither of them took it seriously at all.

Whose fucking domain was this, anyway!

Dagon flew into a rage and was about to summon an enormous shikigami to attack them both, when a pair of scarlet eyes and a pair of pitch-black eyes abruptly turned toward it.

Dagon instantly calmed down.

Forget it. It really wasn't important.
