Chapter 5 : Jujutsu Kaisen (4)

Gojo Satoru. Her Cursed Technique was Limitless, a complex ability that essentially allowed her to manipulate space. It was notoriously difficult to control, but not for Satoru. She possessed the Six Eyes.

The Six Eyes, a unique trait passed down through the Gojo clan, granted incredible control over cursed energy, allowing her to manipulate it at an atomic level. This made her mastery of Limitless flawless.

“So this is Limitless, huh?”

“Haha! Try and get past it if you can!”

Satoru charged at him the moment the match began. I easily evaded her attack by taking to the air, then retaliated with magic.

• Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic.

• Radiant Shot.

A simple spell that launched a concentrated orb of Radiant Mana. It flew towards Satoru, but stopped and dissipated just before reaching her, blocked by her Limitless barrier.

The barrier slowed anything approaching her to an almost standstill. As long as it was active, she was practically invincible. A truly broken ability.

‘But I have my own broken abilities.’ He had a way to bypass the barrier.

Flap! Flapping his wings, he closed the distance between them and swung his sword.

“That won’t work!” Satoru launched a red sphere at him.

• Limitless

• Cursed Technique Reversal: red

A sphere of attractive force that pulled everything towards it.

“Hmph.”

Slash!

I sliced through the incoming sphere with my mana-infused Holy Sword.

“How…?” Satoru’s eyes widened. Limitless was nearly impossible to interfere with unless using a Cursed Tool that forcibly dispelled or dispersed Cursed Techniques.

“I’ve already adapted. And I’m a natural counter to sorcerers.”

Click.

My new ability, Adaptation, was superior to Mahoraga’s original version. While the original Mahoraga needed multiple attempts to adapt to the complex Limitless, I only needed one. A single contact was enough to adapt and overcome it. Likely due to its fusion with my Radiant Angel Trait, enhancing its effectiveness.

Furthermore, my very existence countered sorcerers. Sorcerers used negative cursed energy, while my Radiant Mana was positive, like light, inherently effective against negative energy. I could nullify cursed energy and even neutralize active Cursed Techniques.

“You’ve already lost.” This battle was already mine.

• Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic.

• Radiant Shot x10

I conjured ten Radiant Shots simultaneously. While difficult with complex spells, multiple castings of a basic spell like Radiant Shot was easy.

The ten orbs flew straight towards Satoru.

“Ugh!”

Satoru tried to defend.

• Limitless

• Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue

A blue sphere of repulsive force. A futile attempt.

Having adapted to Limitless, and with the Radiant Shots composed of mana, the antithesis of cursed energy, Satoru couldn’t defend.

“Kyaa!”

All ten Radiant Shots hit her. And at that moment…

[Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic proficiency increased by 2%.]

[Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic (F) has evolved into Low-Grade Radiant Magic (E)!]

[Growth Acceleration proficiency increased by 1%.]

[All evolution conditions are now displayed.]

Low-Grade Angel’s Feather (1/3)

Low-Grade Angel’s Halo Fragment (0/3)

Low-Grade Radiant Magic (O)

“Ha…” I felt the new magic knowledge flood my mind as Radiant Magic evolved.

“Now, shall we continue…?” I was eager to test my new knowledge.

“Is she unconscious?” Satoru had fainted after taking ten direct hits.

“So, I win?” I scratched my head, surprised by the easy victory.

“My lady!”

“Get a medic!”

“Haha, well done, Hikaru!”

“Hikaru!”

As the Gojo clan members paled and the Zenin clan members cheered, I ended the Leisure.

“Whoa, that’s a lot.” I checked each message. Mid-Grade Random Draw, Relationships, various items, and points.

“Sweet.” I opened the Status Window and Inventory.

“Let’s do the skill draw first.”

I acquired four items: the Relationship Level Increase Ticket, Leisure Reset Ticket, Skill Evolution Ticket, and the Skill Draw Ticket.

However, I had no immediate use for the first two. Neither did I need to urgently raise any relationship levels nor reset the Leisure. The Skill Evolution Ticket could also wait. I didn’t want to use it without knowing what future skills I might acquire.

That left the Guaranteed High-Grade Skill Draw Ticket.

“Let’s go!”

[Use 1x Guaranteed High-Grade Skill Draw Ticket?]

[Y/N]

I selected “Yes” without hesitation. A brightly glowing card appeared. I tapped it.

“…Yahoo!”

[Acquired Plunder (A)!]

<Skill: Plunder (A)>

The power to steal abilities by killing a target.

Abilities:

• Low probability of stealing stats upon killing a target.

• Very low probability of stealing skills upon killing a target.

“Steal stats and skills?” Plunder was an insane skill. Even with low probabilities, the ability to steal stats and skills by killing was incredibly powerful.

“This needs the Evolution Ticket right away.”

I didn’t hesitate.

[Use Skill Evolution Ticket on Plunder?]

[Y/N]

I chose “Yes.”, as I jumped for joy at the result.

[Plunder (A) has evolved into Plunder (S)!]

<Skill: Plunder (S)>

The power to steal abilities by killing a target.

Abilities:

• Moderate probability of stealing stats upon killing a target.

• Low probability of stealing skills upon killing a target.

• Very low probability of stealing Traits upon killing a target.

An overpowered skill had just become game-breaking.
