In front of the Treasure Vault.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Mahito roared, his body twisting frantically like plasticine.
Countless bone spurs, tentacles, and even giant hammers formed from souls smashed toward Lynn like a torrential rain.
However.
Not a single strike could even touch the hem of the man's clothes.
Though it was a bit taxing, the rhythm of the battle remained under Lynn's control.
His footsteps were light and eerie, each movement perfectly landing in the blind spot of Mahito's attacks.
The black kunai in his hand danced at his fingertips, drawing one fatal black line after another.
"Too slow."
Lynn's voice was flat.
*Squelch!*
A black light flashed.
The bone-blade arm Mahito had just extended was sliced off cleanly in mid-air.
The cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.
"Ah!!"
Mahito clutched his severed arm and retreated, a familiar, nauseating soul-tremor radiating from the wound.
"Damn it..."
Mahito stared fixedly at Lynn, his heterochromatic pupils bloodshot.
As a transmigrator who knew the script, combined with the physical fitness of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer and the critical hit attributes of the Ten Shadows Technique.
At this moment, Lynn was Mahito's natural enemy.
"Do you want to continue?"
Lynn casually flicked the purple blood off his kunai and pointed at the Treasure Vault gates behind him.
"If you don't go in soon..."
He raised his wrist and checked his watch.
"Satoru Gojo might notice this place, you know."
These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing ruthlessly into Mahito's heart.
Time!
What they lacked most was time!
"You bastard!!"
Mahito was completely frantic now.
"Since you're looking for death..."
The Cursed Energy in Mahito's body began to expand wildly, and black markings crawled across his entire body.
He was prepared to risk his life.
Even if he had to burn his soul, he would kill this bastard blocking his way!
"Domain Expan—"
Just a second before Mahito could launch his ultimate move.
*BOOM!!!*
A sudden explosion rang out in the sky.
Immediately after.
A massive meteorite, burning with raging flames, whistled down from above the forest like divine punishment!
The target—pointed straight at Lynn!
Heat waves rolled in.
The air was instantly ignited.
"Hmm?"
Lynn's brow twitched slightly.
He didn't take it head-on; instead, he kicked off the ground, his figure sliding back over a dozen meters in an instant.
*CRASH!!!*
The meteorite smashed into the spot where he had just been standing, blasting out a charred crater.
Amidst the rising flames.
A short, one-eyed Cursed Spirit with a head like a smoking Mount Fuji slowly walked out.
Special Grade Cursed Spirit—Jogo.
"Mahito! What the hell are you doing?!"
Jogo roared irritably, his voice sounding like it was spitting fire.
"A mere human sorcerer has actually delayed you for this long?!"
"Hanami's side is already about to collapse!"
"Jogo?!"
Mahito saw the newcomer, and a flash of joy crossed his eyes.
"Be careful! This guy is very strange! His technique can damage the soul!"
"Ha? Damage the soul?"
Jogo snorted disdainfully, his single eye full of arrogance.
"Then burn him to ashes! Burn his soul along with him!"
He turned around and looked at Lynn.
In his palm, two purple fire insects were condensing.
"Hey, human."
"I don't know who you are, but since you've blocked our path..."
"You have to die."
Two against one.
Two Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
Lynn remained silent.
According to the original plot, Jogo shouldn't be here.
At this time, he should be recovering from his injuries.
Could it be that Kenjaku fellow again... He looked at the aggressive Jogo, then at the sinister-looking Mahito.
"Oh dear, oh dear."
Lynn put away the kunai in his hand and patted the dust off his suit.
The previously sharp killing intent vanished without a trace in an instant.
"Since Mr. Jogo is here too..."
"Then it's two against one."
"I am a person who knows how to adapt to the situation."
Lynn took a step back, yielding the path to the Treasure Vault gates.
He even made an elegant "please" gesture.
"Please, go ahead."
"Ha?"
Now it was Jogo and Mahito's turn to be bewildered.
What was the situation?
Just a moment ago, he looked ready for a fight to the death, and now he suddenly makes way?
"Is there a trap?"
Jogo looked around warily.
"No trap."
Lynn spread his hands, looking sincere.
"I'm just a small businessman; I can't beat two Special Grades."
"And..."
Lynn shrugged.
"If you insist on killing me here and making a huge scene..."
"It might attract the attention of that'Six Eyes' prematurely, you know."
"When that time comes, let alone the fingers, whether you two can walk out alive will be a question."
This was a blatant threat.
It was also an irrefutable fact.
Jogo gritted his teeth.
He was irritable, but he wasn't stupid.
The primary task now was to retrieve the fingers, not to get tangled up with this weird human.
"At least you're sensible."
Jogo glared fiercely at Lynn.
"Mahito, let's go!"
"Retreat as soon as we get the items!"
Mahito looked at Lynn with some reluctance, but he still nodded.
"Next time..."
"I will definitely kill you next time."
The two Special Grade Cursed Spirits no longer hesitated and turned to rush toward the gates of the Treasure Vault.
*BANG!*
The heavy iron door was as fragile as a sheet of paper under the violence of the Special Grade Cursed Spirits, blasted open in an instant.
Watching the backs of the two Cursed Spirits as they rushed inside.
Lynn pushed up his glasses, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually turning cold... At the same time.
In a corner of Jujutsu High, near the shrine.
Utahime Iori, the leading teacher from the Kyoto High, was running down the corridor with a serious expression.
She was here to find the base point of the 'Curtain'.
As long as the base point was destroyed, Satoru Gojo would be able to enter.
"It should be around here..."
Utahime stopped, her gaze locked onto a wooden stake ahead.
But just then.
"Oh my, I've been found~"
A flippant voice came from the roof.
Immediately after.
A blonde man wearing a strange black-and-white striped suit, holding a long sword with a palm pattern on the hilt, jumped down from the roof.
Curse User—Haruta Shigemo.
"What bad luck, Utahime-sensei."
Haruta flicked the sword in his hand, a perverted smile on his face.
"I didn't want to hit a woman, but..."
"To prevent you from destroying the Curtain, I'll have to ask you to die."
Utahime assumed a fighting stance, her expression grave.
Her Cursed Technique was of the support type; a one-on-one duel was not her forte.
"Prepare to die!"
Haruta gave a strange cry and rushed forward, swinging his sword.
Right at this critical moment.
*WHOOSH—!*
A blue tentacle, like a whip, shot out from the trees on the side, lashing fiercely toward Haruta's cheek.
"Hmm?!"
Haruta reacted extremely quickly, stopping his footsteps abruptly and leaping backward.
*CRACK!*
The tentacle struck the ground, shattering the stone slab.
"Who's there?!"
Haruta landed and looked warily toward the forest.
A black-haired boy with long bangs, wearing a modified Jujutsu High uniform, slowly stepped out.
On his collar was a shimmering badge.
Yoshino Junpei.
"You're... a student?" Utahime was somewhat surprised.
"I am an employee of Boss Lynn."
Junpei didn't look at Utahime; his gaze was locked firmly on Haruta.
Fighting spirit flickered in his eyes.
This was the first official mission the boss had given him.
It wasn't hard to sense from the boss's tone his disgust for this Curse User named Haruta.
Therefore, Junpei was determined to complete the task beautifully.
Thinking of this, Junpei's eyes burned as he looked at Haruta.
That kind of gaze made Haruta feel a wave of inexplicable discomfort.
"The boss said..."
Junpei raised his hand, and a huge jellyfish-like shikigami—Yotsuki—appeared behind him.
Tentacles flailed, and toxins surged.
"The trash here..."
"Will be cleaned up by me."
"Ha? Clean me up?"
Haruta laughed loudly, pointing at his own nose as if he had heard a joke.
"Just with you, kid?"
"I am a man favored by the Goddess of Luck!"
"Luck?"
Junpei gave a cold laugh.
"Then you'd better pray that your luck..."
"Can withstand my poison."
"Yotsuki! Attack!"
BOOM!
The massive jellyfish tentacles fell like a torrential rain.
At the same time.
On the other side of the battlefield, Nobara Kugisaki and Zen'in Mai were also rushing toward this location.
The encirclement had been formed.
