"Thank you for always protecting me."
"Thank you for falling in love with me."
"Could you lend me your power one more time?"
"I want to stop him."
"I don't need anything else after that."
"I'll give you my future, my heart, my body, everything."
"From now on, we'll truly be together forever."
"I love you, Rika."
"Shall we die together?"
Those were the word Yuta gently uttered as he looked at the cursed spirit in front of him.
It was unknown what kind of thoughts were going through his mind right now, however, he has never felt so clear-minded and peaceful.
Ever since losing Rika, his life has gone downhills, he had lost his confidence alongside his will to live.
However, ever since meeting Gojo, he started looking for a reason to continue living — truly living.
He wanted to have friends, laugh, and have fun like normal people; And in his time at jujutsu high, he partially succeeded in doing so.
It's just that sadly, happy things don't last for long as everything has its end.
However, he wasn't about to give up that easily, at least, not before protecting those new companions of his.
He knew for a fact that Rika loved him, and this feeling was mutual, otherwise, he wouldn't have instinctively cursed her the moment she died, tieing her to him.
And now, it seems that it is finally time to put an end to this long agonizing volume while also breading hope into a new one.
So, hearing what Yuta said and feeling his emotions, Rika reacted like never before as it started changing shape with the eye that had always been closed above its giant mouth finally opening.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Aaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Yuta! Yuta! Yuta!"
"I love, love, love, love you!!!"
Screaming loudly, the cursed spirit Rika unleashed immense power like never before as the cursed energy around it effectively materialized.
Seeing this, the previously calm Geto finally reacted as his eyes narrowed assessing the situation.
'He's offering himself as a sacrifice to release the limit on her cursed energy?!'
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
An ugly smile appearing on his beaten-up face, Geto extended his only hand forward gathering his energy as he spoke.
"So that's how you want it, womanizer?!"
However, hearing this, Yuta raised up his finger and responded calmly, right now, it was maybe the calmest he had felt in his life.
"It's pure love."
However, Geto was having none of it, as after seeing the pinkish blob of energy condensing above Yuta's finger, he pushed himself to the limit, accumulating more energy as he shouted in response.
"Then I fight for justice!"
And then, in an instant, those black and pink balls of energy transformed into beams of pure concentrated power and rushed toward one another.
*Swiish*
*Buzzzz*
However, what was unexpected was that once those two attacks met, there was no clash or stagnation to speak of as the pink-colored attack launched by Yuta instantly overwhelmed Geto's attack without any trouble.
It was clear that the two attacks were not of the same level at all!
It's just that even though one attack overwhelmed the other, it doesn't mean that there would be no damage to the surroundings.
After all, the concentrated energy still had to escape somehow, so, as a consequence, an overwhelming explosion occurred shrouding everything around them.
*Crack*
*Crack*
*Booom*
The first to bear the blunt was Geto as the attack was targeting him, then, it was the turn of everything around from the ground and the walls to the buildings and other structures.
However, it doesn't end there as Lorien himself was also affected as he was sitting nearby.
'Weeeell, shit!'
Looking at the expanding radius of pink energy rushing toward him, Lorien couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Not only did he gain nothing from watching the battle, but he also got attacked without provoking anyone.
'First, I find out that Yuta's ability is actually based on the cursed spirit Rika's ability to change and adapt, meaning that it is not useful to me.'
'And now this shit.'
Indeed, ever since coming here, Lorien had his attention focused on Yuta as he analyzed his ability and tried to copy it.
However, he soon discovered that this was useless as it was very different from any other ability he had previously seen.
'Well, whatever, it's not time for this.'
'Moreover, there is no need to focus that much on it as after I launch the dream path, once anyone converts to the path or awakens, I'll get a full analysis to their ability.'
'I'll just wait it out, I guess.'
Shaking his head, Lorien threw those thoughts aside as he extended his hand causing the ring on his finger to transform into a sword.
Doing this, Lorien then activated the ability of his scabbard causing a multicolored barrier to appear surrounding him.
The sole objective of this barrier was to protect him from all hard and separate him from the outside world.
And it clearly did its job as when the pinkish energy released by Yuta made contact with this barrier, the energy froze in place, unable to advance.
This attack wasn't able to damage this barrier in the least bit, and not to mention that, it was not even able to make the barrier react.
'This is expected...'
'Otherwise, after feeding my weapons so much dream energy, it would be a waste if they are not so strong.'
'Hmmmm, it's finally over.'
*Buzzz*
With the overwhelming energy surrounding the place disappearing, everyone restored their vision and were finally able to see the situation.
Right now, it looked as if a nuke exploded there, nothing was left intact with the position where Geto previously stood receiving the most damage.
It's just that the target himself, Geto, was nowhere to be seen, it was unknown if he was directly killed or was able to escape.
However, this is only the case for normal people as Lorien was instantly able to lock into Geto's position using his divine sense.
'Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Doesn't look good, does he.'
'Hhahaha, It seems that geto has a talent for losing hands.'
'I took out one of his hands and Yuta took the other, I really wonder how he'll be able to go to the toiler in the future.'
'Will he order the cursed spirits to help him?'
'Shit! that's not a picture I want to see.'
Shaking his head quickly, Lorien immediately threw this ugly image out of his mind as he then turned his attention again toward Yuta.
There was really no need to pay more attention to Geto, after all, Lorien also sensed Gojo's presence, which means that Geto's journey is finally coming to an end.
'Let's deal with Yuta and then watch Geto's body, I want to see if I'll be able to catch Kenjaku!'
