A rather young-looking blonde girl, probably only in her early twenties, wearing leather boots, a simple brown jumpsuit, and a black sleeveless top, squatted down and grabbed a handful of scorched, reddish-black earth.
Beside her was a bizarre, snake-like Cursed Spirit, seemingly formed from segments of thick bones and muscle, coiled around her.
"That's interesting."
As she watched the soil, mixed with crystalline structures, slip through her fingers, an enigmatic smile appeared on the blonde girl's face.
If one were to look down from above, they would see her standing in a circular expanse of scorched earth, nearly 200 meters in diameter, with reddish-orange sparks scattered across the surrounding ground, and the deepest part reaching almost 50 meters deep in the center.
"Lady Tsukumo, you've worked hard."
When the blonde girl, who had a bit of a biker chick vibe, emerged from the crater and reached a safe area, a large group of people in black suits surrounded her.
The leader eagerly inquired,
"What exactly was that?"
The proud blonde girl, whom they called Lady Tsukumo, did not answer directly, but instead asked,
"Where's my car?"
Hearing her non-sequitur, the leader merely sighed, clearly accustomed to the girl's temperament and unperturbed.
He winked at his subordinates.
Soon, another man in a black suit pushed over an expensive, limited-edition silver-black Harley Motorcycle.
Upon seeing her beloved bike, the blonde girl's eyes lit up. She expertly sat on it, and from putting on her helmet and goggles to twisting the key and starting the engine, it was all done in one smooth motion.
Everyone simply watched, without any dissatisfaction. Because the girl before them was the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer among all present, no, among the entire Jujutsu Sorcerer Association.
The only Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer,
Yuki Tsukumo.
First Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Mei Mei's overly exaggerated "report" had previously stirred the sensitive nerves of the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association's higher-ups.
The higher-ups directly dispatched the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association's only highest-level combat force, Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo, to investigate the situation.
It was fortunate that this young lass happened to be in Japan; otherwise, she would be impossible to find anywhere in the world.
"The Cursed Energy reaction is very faint; it seems the residual Cursed Energy has been eliminated, so I can't determine what it was."
Before leaving, Yuki Tsukumo finally spoke,
"But the destructive power was definitely Special Grade level. Hmm, it's almost on par with mine."
A malicious smile appeared on her face.
"I don't know if it's friend or foe, but let me make it clear, I won't be taking action."
"Master Tengen's Barrier Technique should be able to withstand it, but given the current situation, can he/she still act?"
"So either those old geezers manage their 'dogs' better in the future and don't bring trouble upon themselves."
"Or pray wholeheartedly, pray that existence is not our adversary."
After speaking, the biker girl Yuki Tsukumo chuckled softly, twisted the throttle, and vanished into the night at an extremely high speed.
"Let's go!"
After hearing Yuki Tsukumo's words, the leader's expression turned very grim, and he hurriedly led the group away.
"Quick, report back to headquarters immediately!"
He had absolute faith in the girl's words.
Because no one would doubt the judgment made by the only Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer in the entire Jujutsu Sorcerer Association.
Although that young lass was usually unreliable, she wouldn't speak idly during major events.
"An unknown Special Grade?"
"Why did it appear at this particular time, damn it!"
It makes one wonder if it's targeting Master Tengen's five-hundred-year cycle.
The judgment of a First Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer combined with that of a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer was enough to escalate the situation.
"The next news item is about a chemical factory explosion that occurred tonight in a certain area of Tokyo. The accident caused no casualties."
"Seriously, isn't there any other news?"
Completely unaware that his first "test drive" had already put the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association's sensitive nerves on edge, Kenmyo Isayama was still complaining about the repetitive news. The TV screen now displayed his "masterpiece."
The footage broadcast to the public by the TV station only showed the peripheral area with less destruction; the true main battlefield was not shown.
Otherwise, how would the Japanese Government explain the sudden appearance of a nearly 200-meter-deep crater? Not to mention the spokesperson would be racking their brain trying to explain, the panic among the public would be the most troublesome.
After all, the Little Boy (15 kilotons of TNT) dropped by the US back then only created a sixty-meter giant crater on Japanese soil. The active US W87 Tactical Nuclear Warhead can create a crater 200 meters in diameter and 60 meters deep.
However, both of the above are nuclear bombs. Therefore, Kenmyo Isayama not only created a small shock to current technology but also sounded the alarm for the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association and the Japanese authorities.
An unknown existence, whether friend or foe, dared to create a large hole in a sparsely populated abandoned industrial park today. Will it create a large hole in a bustling city center, the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association headquarters, or various Japanese Government agencies next time?
"Absorbed Cursed Energy, points +37000 points."
This was Kenmyo Isayama's gain from exorcising the one-eyed giant Cursed Spirit, and the cost was Uncle Lan's [Durability: 1290/189000] decreasing from 1290 points to 1180 points.
A total of 110 Durability points were worn down, which was honestly quite painful.
Kenmyo Isayama looked at the large blue can sweeping and cleaning, and couldn't help but think,
Uncle Lan has two attack methods: one is the rather clumsy [Free Attack] (only fires and slashes), and the other is [Mental Synchronization].
[Mental Synchronization] is when Kenmyo Isayama's physical body and spirit temporarily dissolve into the scarab terminator due to the effect of [Rubric Spell], directly controlling this Rubric Warrior to attack with Kenmyo Isayama's will.
This item originally contained the soul of a former host, and although this soul was unresponsive, a second soul entering an armor would cause significant distortion and influence on the Rubric Spells inscribed within the armor.
Therefore, the Durability consumption rate of [Mental Synchronization] is twice that of the former [Free Attack].
When Kenmyo Isayama uses [Mental Synchronization], attacks and spells do not consume any of his own mana points; the only consumption is Uncle Lan's Durability.
Kenmyo Isayama didn't know the Psyker level of this Rubric Warrior; it was simply very, very high, beyond his comprehension.
Kenmyo Isayama only had one feeling within it:
I only feel that this world makes me incredibly comfortable.
"Above the Heavens and Below the Earth, I Alone Am Honored One!"
The reason for the two-hundred-meter crater was Kenmyo Isayama using this body to cast the most ordinary and simple Psychokinetic Psyker spell:
Crush.
Psykers trap enemies in a force of suffocation and crushing, grinding them into dust.
Under the enhancement of the [scarab terminator], it caused a disaster-like effect.
Kenmyo Isayama pressed the remote control, and a program caught his attention.
The title was "Non-Prosecution and Recidivism."
A murderer was not prosecuted due to a history of mental illness, but after being released, he committed murder again.
