To kill Amanai Riko, the Star Plasma Vessel, the Star Plasma Cult not only hired Toji Fushiguro but also offered a 30 million bounty on the black market; anyone who could kill Riko Amanai would receive this high reward.
Of course, Toji Fushiguro's price was not a mere 30 million. He stated that the targets were being guarded by two Six Eyes Users, so 30 million was insufficient. He needed more money.
"Are you still not going to make a move? If they complete the assassination before you do, you won't get the increased bounty."
"What's the rush? There are two Six Eyes Users on the other side. The Six Eyes, which appears once every few centuries, and the invincible Limitless Cursed Technique. If they are in good mental condition and stay by the Star Plasma Vessel's side, no one can ignore them and kill the Star Plasma Vessel."
Faced with the urging of the Star Plasma Cult member on the phone, Toji Fushiguro simply sat quietly in a small street food stall, eating takoyaki while watching a live broadcast connecting the shop to a casino.
"No one can kill her? Not even you?"
"That's not necessarily true~"
Toji Fushiguro wore a meaningful smile. Indeed, conventionally speaking, the Limitless Defense within the Limitless Cursed Technique was too broken; 90% of methods could not breach its defense, but there was still a 10% chance of breaking through.
First, Domain Expansion.
A Domain is the ultimate secret of Cursed Techniques, capable of generating a special barrier that covers both the enemy and the user, creating a dueling ground where the enemy cannot escape and which is advantageous for the user's fight.
Inside the Domain, the user gains a buff that enhances all attributes, and the attacks launched within the Domain possess a [Sure-Hit] effect, which takes priority over Limitless Defense, thus allowing it to break through.
Second, Domain Amplification.
This is an extremely specialized application method where the Domain is shrunk to cover only the surface of the user's body, taking the form of armor or a protective shield.
At the cost of sacrificing the ability to use one's Innate Technique, it gains the [Sure-Hit] effect found in a regular Domain, allowing the user to only rely purely on Cursed Energy for punches and blasts.
Third, Cursed Tools.
In the Jujutsu World, Cursed Techniques are diverse, and Cursed Tools are equally varied. Among them, a very few Cursed Tools have heaven-defying effects. As luck would have it, Toji Fushiguro possesses a heaven-defying Cursed Tool capable of breaching Limitless Defense.
Inverted Spear of Heaven!
Thus, Toji Fushiguro was not worried about being unable to deal with Satoru Gojo and Chinatsu. However, just in case, he chose to stall for time, allowing the Jujutsu Sorcerers who came for the bounty to exhaust the duo's energy as much as possible. He planned to make his move at the very last moment.
On the other side.
Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo, who had taken Riko Amanai out, immediately encountered Jujutsu Sorcerers who were after the bounty. Most of these Jujutsu Sorcerers were mere fodder who had not gone through a formal training system, with strength ranging from Grade 3 to Grade 2.
More than the difference in strength, the biggest difference was actually their perspective.
"A walking 30 million, huh? Are that man and woman hired bodyguards? So young. It looks like the Jujutsu World doesn't really value this so-called Star Plasma Vessel much. Earning 30 million just by killing a girl who doesn't even know Cursed Techniques—it's too easy!"
A Jujutsu Sorcerer wearing something like a cloth bag over his head spoke, gathering strength in his feet, preparing to find an opportunity to sneak attack and knock out either Chinatsu or Satoru Gojo first.
But just then, the maid named Kuroi Misato appeared behind him, holding a long, thick broom handle.
"You must be someone hired by the Star Plasma Cult. After all, the Q people dress much stranger, but that cloth bag on your head is strange enough as it is."
The maid's eyes intently watched the Jujutsu Sorcerer before her. She was not a Jujutsu Sorcerer herself, but her family had ties to the Jujutsu World, and one of the business scopes her family undertook was the nurturing of "Star Plasma Vessels."
Originally, she was very disdainful of this family business, but after meeting the young Riko Amanai, she softened and chose to personally raise Riko Amanai and protect her as much as possible.
"A non-Jujutsu Sorcerer? If you want to fight, fight. Don't waste my time," the Jujutsu Sorcerer replied casually, looking at the maid.
The maid's eyes narrowed, and she quickly charged toward the Jujutsu Sorcerer with the broom handle in hand. Her speed was not slow, but it couldn't be called fast for a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Although the maid's speed was not ideal, her fighting skills were beyond the Jujutsu Sorcerer's imagination.
After closing the distance with the Jujutsu Sorcerer, she not only sidestepped to avoid a punch from him but also quickly swung the broom handle toward his head.
Although the blow was blocked by the Jujutsu Sorcerer's raised arm, the maid showed no panic. She sidestepped again, dodging another one of the Jujutsu Sorcerer's punches.
After evading the attack, she flipped the broom handle in her hand and struck the Jujutsu Sorcerer directly in the groin.
Bang!!!
The Jujutsu Sorcerer's body trembled, and he violently spat out a mouthful of saliva. His face, covered by the cloth bag, was contorted in a ferocious expression, and his body weakly collapsed onto his knees.
"Don't even think about taking anything from the Lady. The Lady has nothing left to be taken away! You guys... do you believe I'll kill you!"
The maid's face was filled with fury. She had accompanied Riko since childhood, and Riko was a very special existence to her.
She was already suffering from the fact that she would soon never see Riko again, and now encountering people who wanted to kill Riko, this complex emotion felt like a burning fire.
Geto Suguru, who arrived late, couldn't help but raise his hands and applaud the maid upon seeing this scene. He truly hadn't expected the maid, a non-Jujutsu Sorcerer, to have such excellent physical prowess.
"Where is Riko?"
"She has already been taken away by those two."
"Then there's no need to worry. Calm down, and let's go meet up with them."
The two raised their heads and looked ahead. At that moment, the exact same man the maid had fought appeared both in front of Satoru Gojo and Chinatsu and behind them.
Clone Cursed Technique!
It allows the user to conjure clones with the same combat power as the original, and the main consciousness can switch back and forth between these clones. As long as one clone remains unkilled, he can achieve immortality.
It's a very good Cursed Technique, but the Jujutsu Sorcerer using it is a bit weak.
Seeing the situation of being sandwiched from the front and back, the two were unhurried. Satoru Gojo and Chinatsu were even chatting casually and making fun of the current predicament.
Meanwhile, Riko Amanai, whom they were carrying like a pair of chickens, blinked blankly. Although she didn't speak, she was frantically complaining about the two of them internally.
Be serious... You two, be serious!
