Secret Sword · Swallow Reversal.
Sasaki Kojiro's Noble Phantasm.
It is also his strongest sword Cursed Technique.
The blades that simultaneously struck Kusakabe Atsuya from three directions were not achieved through Jujutsu, magic, or other means.
Rather, it was a multi-dimensional distortion phenomenon that transcended elements like speed and skill.
This nameless Martial Artist, ignorant of magic and Jujutsu, entered the Dao through the sword, and with this one strike, reached a Domain countless magicians only dreamed of.
The Second Law, parallel spacetime interference.
Kusakabe Atsuya's Shinkage-ryu · Simple Domain was instantly broken by Swallow Reversal.
His katana was also severed while blocking the slashes.
'Am I going to lose?'
Kusakabe Atsuya's eyes widened as he watched the long blade gradually approach him.
Memories began to surface in his mind.
"Thank you, Atsuya."
It was a summer a few years ago. Ashiya Ayaka, the usually stern head of the Shinkage-ryu, smiled after Kusakabe Atsuya became a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer by relying on Shinkage-ryu.
Kusakabe Atsuya did not have an innate Cursed Technique.
All he had was the sword in his hand, and the Shinkage-ryu that Ashiya Ayaka had taught him without reservation.
But even so, Kusakabe Atsuya still became a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer through his dedicated study of Shinkage-ryu.
"I have no talent. Even though my ancestors left behind a powerful style like Shinkage-ryu, I couldn't become a strong person."
Ashiya Ayaka, who usually resembled an ice queen, showing no emotions, was so vivid in Kusakabe Atsuya's eyes at that moment.
"Originally, I was worried that Shinkage-ryu might decline in my generation, but fortunately, you carried the banner of Shinkage-ryu. Thank you, Atsuya."
This was the first time Kusakabe Atsuya had seen Ashiya Ayaka smile so happily.
There was even a sense of relief in that smile.
Kusakabe Atsuya felt very lucky.
He had no innate Cursed Technique, and when he first became a Jujutsu Sorcerer, he was often looked down upon by those great Families with inherited Cursed Techniques.
But such a person met Ashiya Ayaka, who was willing to teach him everything she knew.
He came from a commoner background, and in the Jujutsu World, where the commoner mortality rate was very high, he met his teacher Yaga Masamichi, who genuinely helped him.
Perhaps that's why.
Kusakabe Atsuya, who supposedly hated it the most, always stepped forward at critical moments.
"Shinkage-ryu · Oborozuki!"
Kusakabe Atsuya gathered all his Cursed Energy.
While strengthening his defense, Cursed Energy extended along his broken sword, eventually forming a blade.
This was not a talent for swordsmanship, but a talent for a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
But whether it was swordsmanship, Barrier Techniques, or the application of Cursed Energy forming a blade, they were all part of Shinkage-ryu.
His 'Mind's Eye' warned him.
But looking at the conviction in Kusakabe Atsuya's eyes, Sasaki Kojiro did not dodge.
Pfft! X3
Pfft!
Secret Sword · Swallow Reversal left three bone-deep wounds on Kusakabe Atsuya.
Shinkage-ryu · Oborozuki also pierced Sasaki Kojiro's left shoulder.
This was just a sparring match, and neither of them aimed for the other's vital points.
"Excellent Cursed Technique. Let's call this a draw."
It was Cursed Technique, not swordsmanship.
Although Shinkage-ryu had already deviated from its original'Shadow Style' and was no longer pure swordsmanship.
But Shinkage-ryu was also a powerful style created with the dedication of countless people.
"Is that so, a draw, huh."
Kusakabe Atsuya let out a sigh of relief.
In just a few minutes of engagement, he had used all his abilities.
But even so, he felt that Sasaki Kojiro had not used his full strength.
'I'm sorry I couldn't make you use your full strength, Great Master Sasaki Kojiro.'
