Chapter 97: Only Playing Peak Matches
Kenjaku watched the direction where Jogo disappeared without stopping him; instead, a profound smile appeared on his face.
"Go, go and test the depths of this 'Uncrowned King.' An angry Special Grade Cursed Spirit is a perfect touchstone."
He chuckled softly, "Toho Hiroshi... your appearance at this time, is it an accident, or intentional? What exactly is your purpose? Are you standing on the side of humanity, or... do you have more interesting plans?"
"The chess game is truly becoming more and more interesting."
"It's just that the strength of this new chess piece seems to have exceeded the board..."
Kenjaku's gaze became deep and profound as he began to re-evaluate and adjust the chess game he had been planning for a century.
The appearance of Toho Hiroshi undoubtedly made the Shibuya Incident even more chaotic and unpredictable.
At this moment, Toho Hiroshi, who had just left using Kamui, stood atop a high-rise building, his Rinnegan coldly overlooking the hellish Shibuya below.
He naturally sensed a powerful, hostile, and destructive Cursed Energy rapidly approaching his position like a cannonball.
"A moth flying into a flame."
From beneath the swirl mask came an emotionless evaluation.
The night sky of Shibuya was torn apart by the glare of fire and the flashes of Cursed Energy.
Jogo's body, wrapped in lava and rage, crashed onto the top of the building where Toho Hiroshi stood like a falling meteorite.
The sturdy concrete platform instantly cracked and melted, and a scorching wave of air swept out, evaporating the snowflakes in the air.
"Toho Hiroshi—! I will make you pay for Dagon!"
Jogo's single eye turned crimson, and amidst its roar, countless scorching magma fists poured toward Toho Hiroshi like a volcanic eruption, each punch containing a terrifying high temperature capable of incinerating even a Special Grade Cursed Spirit to ashes.
This was its full-force attack in a fit of rage, vowing to completely devour the mysterious enemy before it.
Facing this violent offensive capable of destroying the entire block, Toho Hiroshi simply stood in place, his Rinnegan beneath the swirl mask calm and ripple-free.
He did not even weave signs, nor did he summon any Cursed Technique.
Just as the magma fists were about to hit him, Toho Hiroshi moved.
His movements were faster than the limits of visual perception; it was as if he had only slightly swayed his body, yet he passed through the gaps of the dense fist shadows by a hair's breadth.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Jogo's side, raised his right hand casually, and pressed a seemingly light palm against Jogo's lava-covered chest.
"Bang—"
A dull, thunderous sound like leather being struck exploded.
Jogo's tough body was struck as if by an invisible mountain; its massive frame shook violently, and the lava armor on its chest instantly cracked and then shattered with a roar!
Its entire Cursed Spirit form flew backward uncontrollably, crashing through several buildings before barely managing to stabilize itself in a pile of rubble.
"Pfft!"
Jogo spat out a mouthful of scorching blood, its single eye filled with shock and disbelief.
How is this possible! Just by pure martial arts and the emission of Cursed Energy, without even using a decent Cursed Technique, it broke through its defense and injured it?
"Is this all you have?"
Toho Hiroshi's figure was like a ghost, appearing silently in the air in front of Jogo again, his indifferent voice coming through the mask with a condescending scrutiny.
"Arrogant!"
Jogo was thoroughly enraged; its dignity as a Special Grade Cursed Spirit made it unable to accept such contempt.
In the next instant, the lava burning around Jogo suddenly expanded, turning into a giant net made of lava that enveloped Toho Hiroshi from above.
The scorching lava was crazily eroding this part of the sky.
But Toho Hiroshi's figure vanished into thin air in a bizarre manner.
"Hmm?"
Jogo's heart tightened, and it turned back abruptly.
But the moment it turned, it was grabbed by the collar by Toho Hiroshi and then violently thrown into the air.
Jogo forcibly twisted its body, the anger in its single eye almost turning into tangible flames spewing out.
The repeated setbacks, especially the opponent's contemptuous attitude as if playing with it, completely ignited its pride and ferocity as a Special Grade Cursed Spirit and as a "Natural Disaster."
"Unforgivable... Unforgivable! Human! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
It roared, raised its arms high, and the Cursed Energy around its body gathered frantically with unprecedented intensity.
The sky seemed to be ignited by its rage; the originally gloomy night suddenly turned crimson, the temperature in the air climbed rapidly, and even the ruins of buildings in the distance began to soften and drip.
"Maximum: Meteor!"
With Jogo's roar, a massive meteorite, compressed from pure lava and extreme Cursed Energy, tore through the red-black sky, falling toward Toho Hiroshi and the large area beneath his feet with earth-shattering power.
Before the meteorite arrived, that terrifying pressure had already caused all existences in the battlefield below—whether Jujutsu Sorcerer or Curse—to feel despair.
This was Jogo's trump card, containing its power as the embodiment of the earth's fury, capable of completely wiping several blocks off the map.
It would spare no cost to bury this unpredictable enemy, Toho Hiroshi, along with this area.
Facing this blow that resembled divine punishment, Toho Hiroshi, who had been dealing with it using martial arts and basic Cursed Techniques, finally made a new move.
He remained standing in place, appearing to have no intention of dodging. He grasped the empty air with his right hand, and a dark red light condensed and extended in his hand, eventually forming a long blade with an ancient design, its edge flowing with a crimson luster like blood.
special grade cursed tool—scarlet blade.
The meteorite whistled down with unparalleled kinetic energy and scorching heat, looking as if it would devour everything.
Just at this critical moment, Toho Hiroshi moved.
He held the blade in one hand and swung it upward, seemingly casually, at the massive meteorite above that obscured his vision.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no blinding burst of light.
Only a tiny, almost imperceptible dark red thin line flashed and disappeared along the trajectory of the scarlet blade.
In the next instant, the massive lava meteorite capable of destroying everything suddenly paused in the air for a moment.
Following that, in Jogo's incredulous gaze, countless neat and uniform cut marks appeared on the surface of the meteorite, as if it had been scanned by the most precise laser.
Rumble...
The meteorite disintegrated silently, turning into countless fragments of uniform size, and then these fragments split again, eventually becoming debris and scorching sparks like sand flying all over the sky, drifting and cooling in the night sky, as if a gorgeous yet dead red meteor shower had fallen.
Maximum: Meteor was dismantled with a single slash.
"No... impossible..."
Jogo's single eye widened until it almost split, its massive body trembling slightly due to the high consumption of Cursed Energy and extreme shock.
Its strongest attack was actually dismantled by the opponent so casually?
What kind of Cursed Tool was that? What kind of power could achieve this?
Toho Hiroshi slowly lowered the scarlet blade, the tip pointing diagonally to the ground, with dark red light flowing along the edge. Through the swirl mask, he calmly watched the shaken Jogo and spoke indifferently: "Is this your limit? The so-called 'Natural Disaster' is nothing more than this."
This sentence was like the final judgment, completely shattering Jogo's psychological defenses.
Anger, fear, unwillingness, and a deep sense of powerlessness when facing an incomprehensible existence were intertwined.
It realized that the man in front of it wearing a mask had unfathomable strength, far beyond what it could contend with.
