Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 336 Want to Become a Strong One

"It stole my power!"

After a tough battle, the injured Itadori keenly discovered the changes in the cursed spirit. After he was injured, his physical strength declined and his cursed power weakened, the enemy also showed signs of weakening.

It doesn't make sense that this guy didn't become weaker after fighting with Senior Otsutsuki, but instead became weaker at the same time as he was injured. Yuji's intuition made him grasp this point firmly.

Then it only took a simple attempt. After Yuji withdrew most of the cursed power from his body, he found that the cursed spirit fighting with him was still maintaining the familiar advantage, instead of completely crushing him whose level in all aspects had dropped significantly.

Therefore, the skill of this cursed spirit is to forcibly steal the opponent's strength, speed, and basic attributes of cursed spirits. Combined with its own certain strength, it can easily achieve a sure win against different enemies. That is why its strength is completely different when fighting against Otsutsuki-senpai and when fighting against itself.

Itadori also heard Kei talk about Yuta Otsutsukota. The powerful technique combined with the unfathomable cursed energy, doesn't this explain the amazing power and speed of this cursed spirit when it fought against him before?
But there must be some upper limit!

The technique or its owner, no matter it is a cursed spirit or a sorcerer, they all have their limits. The technique of this cursed spirit cannot steal the enemy's power indefinitely, otherwise it would be impossible for Senior Otsutsuki to watch his fight so leisurely.

"hateful!"

This technique, which seems very powerful at first glance, is actually very weak. If the cursed spirit had not yet swallowed Sukuna's finger, Yuji might have been able to defeat it with his skills.

But after the cursed spirit swallowed Sukuna's finger and successfully reached the threshold of the special grade, this guy combined his own strength with the power stolen from the enemy by the technique. This was no longer something that could be dealt with by simple skills. Besides, Yuji's combat skills were not yet refined.

However, if the person dealing with it has a very powerful technique, like Gojo Satoru's [No Limits], then even if this cursed spirit has stolen 100% of the power, it will still be exorcised on the spot.

It doesn't have to be [unlimited]. It might be possible for Yuji to just use the Shikigami summoned by Kei to fight in a group, but Yuji himself has no techniques. His fighting abilities are all reflected in his extraordinary physical abilities and close combat enhanced by cursed energy.

This cursed spirit is a natural counter to Yuji Itadori's current reckless fighting style. The opponent doesn't even need to use a field that may not exist to launch his attack. He can defeat him with just the magic spell.

"You are too weak, there is no way you can beat him. Maybe you can wait for that kid over there to save you, or... I can lend you my strength without any cost, I can even cast a spell..."

The cracked mouth on Yuji's cheek spoke out touching words in a bewitching manner. The binding specifically refers to the concept of "curse" in magic. It is effective for everyone, regardless of their strength. Even a special-grade person cannot violate the content of the curse, because it is a rule based on the strength of the person who sets the curse.

Just as a person cannot lift himself up, the one who casts a curse cannot break the curse that restricts him. To be more precise, the cost is unacceptable.

Since Sukuna said so and was willing to cast the curse, the credibility of this is very high. If it is confirmed that the content of the curse does not contain any traps, then it can reach 100%.

But, Yuji Itadori didn't believe it.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the true sense of the word. The only difference is that you have never seen what is charged behind it. Perhaps some mutually beneficial transactions can be close to this.

But Yuji didn't believe that there was any possibility of mutual benefit or win-win cooperation between him and Sukuna.

After becoming Sukuna's victim and inexplicably suppressing his consciousness and transforming it into a living cage, Yuji also learned about the famous curse king 'Two-faced Sukuna'.

The curse among curses, the name 'King of Curses' is really not wrong, including the inhuman remarks made by Sukuna just after he woke up, which was relayed by Hui. Moreover, this guy did not hide it at all, he was cannibalistic, murderous, cruel... Many curses may not be as cruel as this one.

It can be said that if Itadori had not allowed Sukuna to take control of the body, this guy would have definitely caused a horrific and endless tragedy.

Instead of going through the trouble of playing the contract game with him, Itadori simply chose to ignore Sukuna's temptation. After all, he just couldn't defeat this cursed spirit now. This was just an exercise, and Otsutsuki was still watching beside him. In this case, the persuasiveness of Sukuna's words would be greatly reduced.

If you want someone to choose a path according to your ideas, the best way is to leave him with 'no choice', but right now, Yuji still has a choice.

"His skills need to be improved, but his physical ability is very good, and his cursed power is also considerable. Perhaps it is due to Sukuna's contribution? Although he doesn't have the technique, if Yuji can improve the efficiency of his cursed power, it is not impossible for him to become a magician like Kusakabe Sensei. Moreover, Genichi Sensei also said that he might be able to obtain Sukuna's technique because of his incarnation..."

Otsutsuki silently made a judgment about Yuji while watching from the sidelines: "Maybe he can really do as Master Genichi said... However, the outcome of this battle seems to be decided. It is almost impossible for Yuji to defeat an opponent with this technique without any technique, unless..."

Thinking of this, Otsutsuki burst out laughing. That kind of skill has not been taught to Yuji yet, and that level of difficulty is not something that everyone can learn. It seems to rely more on luck, but in fact, if you don't reach that threshold, the possibility of using that skill is zero.

黑闪
At present, the only way for Yuji to defeat this cursed spirit is to attack with the cursed power in a special situation, which is consistent with the body and soul. Under the same cursed power, it can burst out with unimaginable lethality. It is enough to wipe out the advantage established by the cursed spirit with the spell, and even surpass it and defeat it in turn. However, as Otsutsuki thought, even if this skill does not need to be taught, the magician can encounter the sudden spiritual light in actual combat and manifest it in the world.

But it is too difficult, and the triggering of the first Black Flash really depends on "coincidence" and luck. It is too unlikely that Yuji can hit the Black Flash at this time, or even one hit is not enough, and the possibility of a combo is too small.

But if Yuji doesn't consider these factors... maybe he can really do it!
He has a high talent in fighting, and the efficiency of using cursed energy also gives him the foundation. When he is extremely selfless, it seems that he may really be able to perform Black Flash. However, even so, the possibility is still very low. Otsutsuki just had this thought suddenly, and he turned his head and put it behind his mind. He turned his attention to the battlefield, ready to rescue Itadori at any time.

At this moment, the battle on the field was already full of dangers. Yuji had to face the enemy's constant attacks and endure the chattering of Sukuna, a guy he couldn't stop.

At this time, Yuji knew in his heart that if he admitted defeat, he had persisted until now and successfully tested out his opponent's technique. As a result of the trial, he might be able to pass. After all, that was what Gojo Sensei said at the time.

But he inexplicably rejected this idea in his heart. He wanted to win! At least, he had to give this guy a heavy blow!

Seniors Kugisaki, Megumi, and Otsutsuki... I heard from other seniors in the second and third year of junior high school that each of them is a qualified sorcerer, and the best among them have even become first-class or even special-class masters.

Not to mention their teachers, and as Sukuna's vessel, Yuji has no idea what's been going on in his heart since this guy took over his body and stepped into the world of sorcery.

It is true that he is very cheerful, but it is precisely because of this character that Yuji has always had some firm and natural ideas because of his special place. He feels that he should take on something.

The strong should protect the weak!
No matter what others think, Yuji thinks so, so he will stop classmates from bullying other classmates at school, and he will take action when he sees injustice. When Iguchi and Sasaki are caught in the attack of cursed spirits, he will choose to lead the cursed spirits away himself because he is stronger than Iguchi and others.

When he arrived in the world of curse arts, there were suddenly many more people stronger than him, but Yuji's thoughts did not change. Instead, he became more determined. You see, isn't everyone doing this?
Curse masters protect ordinary people. Otsutsuki and his teacher deal with powerful curses to protect weaker cursers. Originally, Yuji could have calmly accepted this protection, and then used his own strength to protect weaker people.

But the existence of Sukuna has changed all that. Once Itadori loses his control over him, or if this guy breaks free from his restraints and truly revives, he will inevitably cause unimaginable damage before he is exorcised.

Hundreds, thousands... or tens of thousands or even more people will die? Yu Zhang doesn't know and doesn't want to know. He only knows that the best outcome of such a thing is to prevent it from happening, and this is a responsibility that only Yu Zhang can take!
Yuji is special. As a container that can perfectly contain Sukuna and has self-awareness and body control, it can be said that unless there are any accidents, the only ending for Sukuna is that all his fingers will be absorbed by Yuji and eventually disappear completely with his death.

Therefore, Yuji must become a strong man. The container is perfect enough, but if it is not strong enough, it will be a very dangerous thing.

In fact, Yuji Itadori also understood the expectations of Gojo and Genichi. He even had a feeling that they valued him not only because of Sukuna...

This is why Yuji doesn't want to lose, or doesn't want to lose so ugly and without any resistance.

So what if there is no spell? The spell of this cursed spirit only strengthens the body's ability, and there is no strange effect. If you only regard the opponent as an opponent who is better than you in all aspects, then the opponent can be regarded as having no spell, right?

Is it reasonable to admit defeat just because of this gap? Shouldn't the so-called "strong" be someone who can charge at a stronger person without hesitation? If someone only bullies those who are weaker than him in objective strength, and admits defeat and runs away when encountering those who are stronger than him, then such a guy is just a "weak" no matter how strong his spell skills are.

"The strong draw their swords against the stronger, and the weak draw their swords against the weaker."

This is a sentence that Yuji heard from a wise man in the neighboring big country. He agreed with this sentence very much. If he wanted to become such a strong man, he must never admit defeat in this battle and must really try his best!
Yuji gradually forgot about life and death, winning or losing, and even ignored Sukuna's occasional sarcasm. His physical strength and cursed power began to dissipate, but Yuji felt that his state seemed to have reached an unprecedented wonderful state.

Every muscle movement in the body, the surge and eruption of strength, and the usually vague existence of cursed power, were now all clearly controlled by Yuji and achieved a highly harmonious state.

Sukuna's temptation and ridicule stopped because he felt some changes in this body. He might be a little unfamiliar with it because of the time, but he was definitely not unfamiliar with it.

"This guy... Haha, he is indeed a vessel that can hold me. I have underestimated him."

Although he was hit hard by a punch and his internal organs might have been injured, Yuji was not defeated. He used the most stupid method to find the most suitable opportunity to attack.

All of the cursed energy was concentrated on his outstretched fist, over-compressed in this highly unified and overlapping blow of mind, body, spirit and other factors, and it also changed from bright blue to a thicker color in the trails left by tearing the air.

"I have a reason not to lose!"

The space distorted and the black light finally transformed and bloomed. This was a living miracle of magic, and at this moment it was a miracle belonging to Yuji Itadori.
