Chapter 24: Lu Suo and the 4 Doomsday Cursed Spirits: Surpassing the Golden Age of the Spellcasting
Temporary visitor room at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School.
"Just fill in the awakening technique here, and we will send someone to protect you."
"Huh? What do you mean my level isn't high enough, and you need someone stronger?"
Looking at the long line of "Awakeners" registering their abilities, Fushiguro Megumi's face darkened. She tried her best to suppress the urge to summon the Demon Lord and explode with these idiots, and tried to calmly reassure them.
"Sorry, the stronger people are all out there quelling disasters right now, dear."
"However, if you don't register, according to the newly passed 'Regulations for the Management of Temporary Spellcasters,' I can treat you as a spell spirit and perform an exorcism on the spot, dear."
"you!"
Seeing the almost tangible magical power surging from behind Fushiguro Megumi, the awakened ones, whose confidence had been inflated by the awakening of the spell, all took two steps back, revealing expressions of fear.
In any case, only four days have passed since the start of the "Great Age of Spells".
In such a short time, even if they awaken powerful spells, it would be difficult for them to immediately change their mindset to fight, let alone fight against Fukuro Megumi, a veteran sorcerer who has been cultivating for more than ten years.
Therefore, after seeing Fushiguro Megumi show that she was not under pressure, everyone obediently lined up and registered one by one.
"It's really annoying. That guy Itadori and that guy Kugizaki both went on a mission with Nanami-sensei, but I'm the only one left here to do paperwork."
While organizing the documents, Fushiguro Megumi complained unhappily.
According to Gojo Satoru, his technique has extremely high value and is very likely to attract the covetousness of that "Holy Spirit".
Only by hiding inside a high-level institution protected by a barrier spell can one's safety be guaranteed.
"Ha, you charlatan, you've managed to throw Tokyo into such chaos all at once. If I get the chance, I'll personally take care of you."
Fushiguro Megumi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and could only throw a few punches at the air.
however.
Just as he was idly venting his anger, thinking that the Jujutsu High School was truly as safe as Gojo-sensei had said, he was finally able to relax.
Swah——
it's dark.
A "tent" that only those with extremely high skill in barrier magic could cast instantly was slowly laid out, bounded by areas of high sorcery expertise.
It appeared alongside the "tent".
He was a man with sutures in his brain, dressed in monk's robes.
He squinted, a ridiculously sinister smile playing on his lips, and waved to the crowd on the ground.
"Yo."
Behind him.
Four terrifying cursed spirits, emanating black energy, appeared like ghosts.
One of them was a cursed spirit with black wings and bulging, frog-like eyes. It seemed to care about nothing and only wanted to have fun.
One of them was a cursed spirit whose body was rotting and covered in pustules, emitting a huge stench, and whose lower body looked like a toad that had been hollowed out.
One of them was a cursed spirit, dark red in color, covered in scars, with two pairs of huge, scythe-like horns, the eyes of a goat, and the body of a horse.
One of them was a human-shaped cursed spirit, emaciated with sunken eyes and a mouth sewn shut, resembling a skeleton, draped in a white robe.
In an instant, Fu Hei Hui's pupils shrank sharply. Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the four cursed spirits, which was at least "Special Grade" or higher, he felt his heart pounding wildly, and the incantation he always had on his lips almost slipped out.
"Burube, Yurayu..."
"Shut up."
boom!
The skeletal human spirit merely raised its hand and instantly slit a line in Fushiguro Megumi's mouth.
He seemed to have lost all ability to move, collapsing to the ground instantly, without even having a chance to self-destruct and unleash the Demon Void.
"Excuse me."
The man in monk's robes smiled slightly, stepped out from beside the four cursed spirits, walked to Fushiguro Megumi's side, and said softly.
"What that guy did was so interesting that I couldn't resist getting involved too."
"I will put on a 'wonderful' performance that belongs only to me on the stage you have set up."
"The Holy Spirit."
He laughed loudly, swept past Fu Hei Hui, and led the four top-tier curse spirits, striding into the interior of the Curse Arts Academy.
……
Let's go back to one day earlier.
Louhu kept a close watch on Lusuo as always, but after so many days of surveillance, even with its willpower as a cursed spirit, it couldn't help but feel a little bored and tired.
Suddenly.
It felt as if it were watching Lu Suo and the woman named Ri Mei, who had been in the same position for a long time, motionless.
Sensing something was wrong, it tentatively threw a small flame toward Lu Suo, but only hit air.
boom--
As the flames crashed down, the world before Louhu's eyes quickly began to collapse and distort. When the real world reappeared before it, it realized that something bad had happened.
It's a barrier spell!
As an ancient monster that has lived for thousands of years, how could Lu Suo not have a way to deal with Lou Hu?
However, Louhu's attention was extremely focused before, and he had no reason to leave, so he let it monitor him like that.
But now.
The "Great Era of Spells" that the real person started was so interesting, how could he not get involved?
Knowing that his mission had failed, Lou Hu immediately notified Lu Ping through the soul fragments he had left behind, but Lu Ping simply smiled faintly and waved his hand.
"It's alright, let him go. My power is already secured; he's just adding fuel to the fire."
"As for you, you can now come to the underground water pipes of Tokyo. The path to rapid growth that I told you about before is already there."
……
Shibuya, Tokyo.
Lu Suo and Li Mei walked side by side, chatting casually.
"Do you remember those four guys who appeared during the Heian period, the heyday of sorcerers, and were comparable to the current 'Four Calamity Cursed Spirits'?"
Lu Suo smiled and asked Li Mei.
"You mean... the Four Doomsday Curses?"
Rime responded indifferently, saying that as far as she was concerned, there was no need to discuss any other beings except for the King of Curses, Su Nuo.
"Yes, it's the Four Doomsday Curses."
Lu Suo shrugged, as if recounting a distant legend, and recited the names of the four individuals one by one.
"War, famine, plague, death."
"The four special-grade cursed spirits, born from humanity's fear of these four conceptual things, brought endless disasters to the earth during the Heian period."
"Although they ultimately became stepping stones for the Curse King, Ryomen Sukuna, no other cursed spirit as powerful as these four was born in the thousand years that followed."
"Even the Four Calamities Cursed Spirits born from Gojo Satoru are slightly inferior to the Four Doomsdays of the past..."
"After all, Sukuna was also a 'sorcerer' back then. According to the rule of dynamic balance between the strength of cursed spirits and sorcerers in the world of sorcery, they were born to be enemies of Sukuna."
Lu Suo calmly recounted that this was a secret known to few in the world of sorcery. Apart from a monster like him who had lived for thousands of years, only the heads of the three major families might have a slight chance of knowing about it.
"I don't know what that guy called 'Real Person' did."
"but."
Lu Suo's expression abruptly shifted from calm to fanaticism, his entire face contorted into a grotesque, maniacal laugh, making him appear like a completely different person.
"He has undoubtedly created a miracle!"
Lu Suo spread his hands, his eyes filled with fervor for the real person.
It was a kind of madness that made one want to cut open its brain, sew its flesh and blood into a garment, and wear it piece by piece... a madness that had lost its mind.
"In just five days, more than five thousand people have awakened their magical powers—a feat surpassing even the golden age of sorcerers during the Heian period!"
"According to the rules of the sorcery world, the more sorcerers there are, the greater the total sorcery power, and the stronger the sorcery spirits that are born."
"Thus, the 'Four Doomsday Cursed Spirits' were born in this era, which had only appeared in the Heian period."
"All of this was created by one real person."
"He single-handedly ushered in the golden age of sorcerers, and also created the doomsday curse spirit capable of destroying this country!"
At this point, Lu Suo's frenzied voice calmed down a little, and he walked towards a restaurant marked "Big Eater Challenge," saying with a smile.
"Since he's set such a perfect stage, how could I possibly refuse this performance?"
Inside the restaurant.
Seated upright was the emaciated human spirit, with sunken eyes, looking like a skeleton, draped in a white robe.
Doomsday curse, hunger.
"Let's destroy this world together."
Lu Suo extended his hand, smiling as he extended an invitation to the cursed spirit before him.
