Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 Rainbow Dragon

It was another day spent by the sea, and after several days of searching, Geto finally found the target of this commission—the Rainbow Dragon.

Speaking of which, this commission was actually taken by Gojo on Geto's behalf.

After learning that the Gojo Family had a cursed tool suitable for him, Geto began to work to earn money.

Along the way, he didn't forget to confirm the status of the cursed tool with Gojo .

Gojo usually didn't care much about his family's affairs; after all, in his opinion, those decaying, rotten guys in his family were far less interesting than Eichi and Geto.

However, he happened to know about Playful Cloud, as it was a rare Special Grade cursed tool. At the time, Gojo even borrowed it to play with for a while.

But because he kept hitting his head while playing, he stopped using it.

Moreover, it wasn't cool at all; he swung it around for ages, and there were no special effects.

After remembering that such a thing did exist, Gojo gave an affirmative answer.

So Geto worked even harder.

Under these circumstances, Gojo , who came to play with Eichi, remembered a big commission and asked Geto if he would take it. Geto accepted without hesitation.

It was a large, nine-figure commission.

Gojo knew about this commission because its issuer was the Jujutsu Headquarters, and the Gojo Family had also discussed it internally.

However, they later felt the risk was too great and wanted more compensation, so they didn't respond.

After all, the enemy to be dealt with in this commission was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

The Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Rainbow Dragon, was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from people's fear of dragons and snakes. It possessed a body that even a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer would find difficult to harm, powerful speed, strength, and amphibious combat capabilities.

The Jujutsu Headquarters had organized two attempts to exorcise it, but both failed, and several Grade 1 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers were injured.

Unlike other Cursed Spirits whose activity range is small and relatively fixed.

The Rainbow Dragon's activity range was too vast, almost covering half of the island nation.

This point gave the Jujutsu Headquarters a huge headache.

Previously, when exorcising Cursed Spirits, the Cursed Spirits would obediently stay in their birthplace. They only needed to send a few Jujutsu Sorcerers from commoner backgrounds to investigate the situation, and then gather personnel for an 討伐 based on the Cursed Spirit's condition.

However, the Rainbow Dragon's activity range was too wide, so they could only search and fight at the same time.

But the Rainbow Dragon would fly for a while and swim for a while; they couldn't keep up.

Leaving it alone was not an option either; the Rainbow Dragon's harm was too great, even affecting the island nation's fishing industry to some extent.

To solve the Rainbow Dragon problem as quickly as possible, the Jujutsu Headquarters simply offered a bounty.

There was no other way. Before Gojo intervened in the Jujutsu World, the strongest power in the Jujutsu World was actually held by The Big Three Families. Almost all the high-ranking officials of the Jujutsu Headquarters were from The Big Three Families, and mobilizing enough masters for missions required the consent of The Big Three Families.

But The Big Three Families wouldn't act without sufficient incentive; they were unwilling to make a move unless the benefits were substantial. In the end, the Jujutsu Headquarters made this decision.

On one hand, they urged The Big Three Families to form a Cursed Spirit exorcism team as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they offered a bounty to see if they could lure out a few brave individuals to deal with the Rainbow Dragon.

Thus, through Gojo 's introduction, this commission fell into Geto's hands.

The weather after the rain was exceptionally clear, and a dragon-shaped Cursed Spirit, entirely silver-white and appearing quite ethereal under the rainbow, emerged on the sea surface.

In the sky, Geto, standing on a manta ray Cursed Spirit, looked at the Rainbow Dragon with fervent eyes.

That was not only his second Special Grade Pokémon but also the final payment for Playful Cloud, the cursed tool of his dreams.

The more Geto looked at the Rainbow Dragon, the more pleasing it became to his eyes.

Unfortunately, unlike the divine Dragons that could summon clouds and rain, avert disasters, and bestow blessings.

The Rainbow Dragon, born from the "fear" of dragons and snakes, would only bring harm to an area.

"Vultures."

Dozens of vulture Cursed Spirits appeared and flew towards the Rainbow Dragon.

The Rainbow Dragon, which was flying towards a fishing ground, seemed to sense something.

The Rainbow Dragon turned and looked at Geto in the sky and the flock of vultures flying towards him.

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar erupted from the Rainbow Dragon's mouth.

The Rainbow Dragon moved its body and flew towards Geto.

Geto controlled the manta ray to dodge, while also commanding the vultures to obstruct the Rainbow Dragon's vision.

In an instant, several ferocious-looking Cursed Spirits appeared on the Rainbow Dragon's body.

These Cursed Spirits were generally Grade 2 or higher, and among them was one Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.

A praying mantis Cursed Spirit wielded its dual blades, attacking the Rainbow Dragon's body, but the attacks only sparked off a bit of fire, leaving no marks.

Fish with mouths full of sharp teeth bit the Rainbow Dragon's body, but similarly failed to break its defense.

The Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, on which Geto had placed high hopes, also opened its gaping maw, but unfortunately, its bite only managed to lightly scratch the Rainbow Dragon's skin.

"Its hardness is truly terrifying."

After speaking, Geto turned and flew towards the sea.

The Rainbow Dragon pursued him closely from behind.

Soon, the battlefield descended to the sea surface.

"Kraken!"

Over a dozen huge tentacles shot out from the seabed, tightly coiling around the Rainbow Dragon's body.

"Roar!"

The Rainbow Dragon roared angrily, then twisted its body, attempting to break free from its restraints.

Its sharp teeth were like divine weapons, biting off the Kraken's tentacles.

But the Kraken's mission was already complete; the high-speed Rainbow Dragon had been successfully intercepted and dragged into the sea.

"Umibōzu! Great Sea Monster! Ame-onna! Merman! Bottle-Gourd…"

Dozens of Cursed Spirits skilled in water combat appeared around the Rainbow Dragon, including several Grade 1 Cursed Spirits.

Thanks to Eichi's help, the number and strength of Cursed Spirits Geto possessed at this time were far greater than in the original plot.

Although the Rainbow Dragon was the strongest on the field in terms of power, speed, and defense.

But as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Faced with dozens of Cursed Spirits systematically taking turns to attack it, the Rainbow Dragon simply couldn't cope.

The Rainbow Dragon's attacks either missed or were blocked by Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, while other Cursed Spirits' attacks continuously landed on the Rainbow Dragon's body.

Even if the injuries were minor, they accumulated over time, making the Rainbow Dragon suffer.

On the constantly surging sea surface, a giant sea turtle Cursed Spirit slowly moved.

On the sea turtle, a huge figure stretched its long neck into the water, and black mist surged, enveloping the Rainbow Dragon's entire body.

It was indeed the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit.

The illusion interfered with the Rainbow Dragon's judgment, and its movements gradually began to deform.

Suddenly, several pufferfish-like Cursed Spirits burrowed into the Rainbow Dragon's belly and then exploded directly.

The Rainbow Dragon's body swelled up instantly, then quickly returned to its original slender form.

But Geto knew the Rainbow Dragon was injured.

Sensing danger, the Rainbow Dragon began to struggle fiercely, wanting to escape the battlefield and regroup.

"Has it arrived?"

Geto's gaze looked into the distance; a black dot was flying towards them at an increasingly fast speed.

The Rainbow Dragon finally broke through the Cursed Spirits' encirclement and burst out of the sea. Under Geto's control, the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit leaped from the sea turtle's back, its gaping maw biting the middle of the Rainbow Dragon's body, and its four limbs exerted force, holding the Rainbow Dragon tightly and pulling it towards the sea surface.

"It's a bit off."

Looking at the trajectory of the black dot, and then at the constantly struggling Rainbow Dragon.

A black 裂痕 appeared behind him, and a giant worm Cursed Spirit rushed out, slamming heavily into the Rainbow Dragon's body.

"Yuki-onna."

A figure wearing a kimono but with a hairy face, green face, and fangs like a demon appeared behind Geto.

A biting cold wind, mixed with snow, howled past, temporarily freezing the Rainbow Dragon's body.

Several more tentacles appeared, pulling the Rainbow Dragon's body towards the black dot's trajectory.

"That's more like it."

Just then, the black dot, which had been flying for a long time, finally appeared in front of the Rainbow Dragon.

A tiger-like body full of explosive muscles, huge wings, and long horns soaring from its head.
