Floating on the sea, Dagon's head had muscles twitching violently due to extreme rage. As a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear of the ocean, he was the absolute ruler within his Domain.
But this human before him, who possessed no Cursed Energy, actually dared to look at him with the eyes one would use for a dead fish on a cutting board.
"Arrogant monkey! I'll grind you into meat paste and turn you into the lowest-level fertilizer in the ocean trench!"
Dagon's arms suddenly crossed in front of his chest, and the markings on his abdomen erupted with a blinding, eerie blue light.
Death Swarm: Maximum Output!
Rumble!
The originally calm sea surface boiled instantly. Thousands of sea dragons, several times larger than before, deep-sea monster fish with sharp teeth, and poisonous translucent jellyfish surged forth like a tsunami of flesh that blotted out the sun, crushing down toward Yamada's position.
The density of this offensive was enough to gnaw a steel bridge into powder in an instant.
Cowering in the rear, Megumi, Nanami Kento, and the others watched with eyes nearly splitting. An attack of this magnitude was something they could never withstand, even at their peak.
"Yamada-san! Get out of the way! Attacks in a Domain are guaranteed to hit!" Megumi shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Sure-hit?"
Yamada looked at the swarm of piranhas obscuring the sky and sneered, "That's assuming this trash can even break through my defense."
He stood his ground, neither dodging nor evading. With his left hand in his trench coat pocket, his right hand gripped the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword at his waist, and his thumb gave it a gentle push.
Clang.
A streak of lightning overflowed from the scabbard.
Lightning Release: Chidori Current!
The frantic high-voltage lightning centered on Yamada, erupting outward in all directions.
Seawater was already an excellent conductor. The moment that sun-blotting swarm of oceanic Shikigami touched the lightning net, the piercing scream of electric currents echoed throughout the entire Domain.
Lightning-attribute Chakra brutally tore through the Shikigami's Cursed Energy structures, turning them all into charcoal and steam in mid-air.
Amidst the drifting ashes falling from the sky, Yamada's figure was unscathed. Not even a drop of water had stained the hem of his trench coat.
"How is this possible?! My Death Swarm was dismantled instantly?!"
Dagon was horrified. He immediately gave up on long-range attrition, his body plunging into the seawater as he attempted to use his home-field advantage for a stealthy assassination.
"Want to play hide and seek? You've picked the wrong opponent."
The Six Tomoe Rinnegan in Yamada's eyes spun slowly. Under the ultimate insight of the Rinnegan, the trajectory of Dagon's Cursed Energy flow beneath the water was as glaring as a searchlight in the dark of night.
Yamada's gaze locked onto a rolling wave thirty meters to his left.
Amenotejikara!
Yamada's figure vanished from the spot. The next second, he had completed a spatial swap with that wave, appearing directly above the sea surface.
At that moment, Dagon was opening his bloody maw, lunging from underwater toward the position where Yamada had originally been standing.
"Up here."
A cold voice sounded from above his head.
Dagon looked up in terror, only to be met by a leather boot.
Bang!!!
Yamada delivered a heavy downward kick that slammed squarely into Dagon's forehead.
The terrifying monstrous strength instantly penetrated the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's muscular defense. Dagon didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body was sent flying out of the seawater, crashing toward the distant beach and plowing a deep trench into the sea along the way.
Boom!
Dagon smashed heavily into the beach, creating a massive crater as sand and dust flew everywhere.
"Cough..."
Dagon vomited large mouthfuls of blood, the excruciating pain of his shattered skull making him almost unable to think. He struggled to stand, only to find the black-haired youth had already walked to the edge of the crater, looking down at him from above.
"With this little resistance to being hit, you're worthy of opening a Domain?"
Yamada drew his Kusanagi Sword, lightning patterns dancing along the blade.
Dagon felt an unprecedented threat of death. His proud Domain was as fragile as paper before this man. The opponent hadn't even used a Domain Expansion, yet had single-handedly beaten him into the ground using nothing but pure physical techniques and that bizarre lightning.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself, human! As long as I'm in this sea, my Cursed Energy is infinite!"
Dagon let out a hysterical roar, his arms slamming onto the sand.
He intended to use the highest density of water flow to completely seal Yamada away. But Yamada didn't give him the chance to form hand signs.
"Too slow."
In Yamada's right eye, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan erupted with a blinding red light.
"Since you love this beach so much, I'll turn it into your crematorium."
Amaterasu!
Puff!
Without any physical trajectory, a cluster of eerie pitch-black flames ignited out of thin air on Dagon's chest.
"What is this thing?! It's so hot! Water! Give me water!"
Dagon screamed shrilly, immediately manipulating a large amount of seawater to pour over himself in an attempt to extinguish the black fire.
But the flames of Amaterasu were said to burn through everything in existence. Een the seawater was treated as fuel the moment it touched the black flames, making them burn even more fiercely instead.
The black flames spread rapidly along Dagon's torso, greedily devouring him.
"It's not over yet."
Yamada's gaze was cold as his right eye's ocular power focused once more.
Kagutsuchi!
Under Yamada's control, the Amaterasu flames burning on Dagon's body were rapidly stripped away and lifted into the air. The black flames compressed and condensed sharply in mid-air, finally transforming into three incredibly large, interconnected pitch-black tomoe.
These three tomoe, composed of inextinguishable black flames, hovered behind Yamada, radiating a terrifying high temperature that could burn through space itself.
In the distance, Nanami Kento, Naobito, and the others looked at those three pitch-black tomoe, their souls trembling uncontrollably. That was a destructive power that completely transcended the Jujutsu system and stood above the rules.
"It's over. Seafood."
Yamada pointed his right hand and swung it forward fiercely.
Yasaka Magatama!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three pitch-black tomoe turned into three meteors, carrying a scream that tore through the sound barrier, crashing into Dagon's body with unrivaled kinetic energy.
Rumble!!!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out within the Domain.
The black hellfire instantly swallowed Dagon's screams and swept wildly in all directions.
The seawater was evaporated, and the beach was burned into glass-like crystals.
Dagon's body, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, couldn't even last a second under the strike of the Yasaka Magatama and the burning of Amaterasu, being directly incinerated into the finest atomic ash.
With the complete death of the caster, Dagon—
Crack... Crash!
The bright sunlight and sea peeled away in pieces like a shattered mirror.
Dagon's Domain was burned through by the black flames and completely collapsed.
