Two legs, four arms.
An elephant's trunk, black pupils.
A string of prayer beads hung over its head, and a monk's robe draped over its body.
The colossal being that tore through space was, without a doubt, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
"Just a reminder—don't get too close to me,"
Kenjaku said with a smile, protected firmly beneath the curse.
"This is a divine curse from ancient India.
Its technique is called Obstacle Removal—a conceptual Special Grade known as 'Human-Elephant.'"
Blood streaks moving faster than sound shattered the incoming horns.
Boom!
The Human-Elephant raised its four arms high, effortlessly crushing the two attacks aimed at Kenjaku!
Already tied to conceptual abilities, and now further strengthened by Kenjaku's technique disclosure—
at this moment, the Human-Elephant had reached the peak of its power.
Nanami Kento and Masamichi Yaga halted, their expressions grim.
They already knew three of Kenjaku's techniques:
Body-snatching via brain transplantation
Cursed Spirit Manipulation
Gravity control
As visible defenders, their role wasn't to kill—but to probe.
To test whether Kenjaku possessed any additional techniques.
And now, this unknown Special Grade he summoned so casually had nearly left them helpless.
"Fodder should act like fodder," Kenjaku sneered.
"Don't overthink it… we'll meet again in your next life."
With a wave of his hand, the Human-Elephant roared and attacked!
A torrent of cursed energy surged skyward—just the wind pressure from its four arms was enough to inspire terror!
Without even closing distance, it unleashed a barrage of palm strikes like crashing waves!
BOOM!!!
Nanami's short blade trembled violently as his hands went numb.
Drip.
Yaga's sunglasses shattered; blood poured from his fists!
Even from above, Choso and Takuma Ino were not spared—
both crashed down, foreheads bloodied.
Too strong!
The four gathered themselves, pushing their cursed energy to the limit.
Their mission… was not yet complete!
They exchanged a brief glance—then charged!
Azure flames surged as Nanami leapt forward!
Reflected in his lenses was the forced weak point imposed on the Human-Elephant by his technique—he swung with full force!
"Ratio Technique: Collapse!"
Yaga, master of creating cursed corpses, moved in tandem.
Panda—his masterpiece—was proof of his craft.
But to avoid the higher-ups' greed, Yaga had rarely created such beings.
His Grade 1 title came more from these fists—
fists capable of knocking even Satoru Gojo senseless.
Yaga and Nanami charged from both sides!
Choso, empowered by blood wings, raised his arm and pointed at Kenjaku beneath the curse:
"Blood Technique: Canal!"
A self-created move—absent from traditional Blood Manipulation.
Using blood as a link, his fist separated at the wrist and shot forward!
"Come forth, auspicious beast—Azure Dragon!"
Ino unleashed his ultimate move—on par with a maximum technique!
A massive dragon-shaped shikigami roared into existence!
Kenjaku remained calm.
"Pointless struggle."
The Human-Elephant's technique—Obstacle Removal—
treated all incoming techniques as obstacles… and erased them.
Nanami's technique could forcibly create weak points—
but when techniques clash, it comes down to cursed energy and rule supremacy.
BOOM!!!
Four arms swung, leaving afterimages!
Nanami and Yaga were blasted to the ground!
The Azure Dragon shattered—Choso's severed hand fell lifelessly!
To completely extinguish their hope, Kenjaku activated his gravity mechanism—usable once every six seconds—
locking down Nanami and Yaga's last chance to escape.
"Be grateful," he said coldly.
"At least you're dying to a joint attack from two Special Grades."
He looked down at the blood-soaked pair.
"The fact you weren't crushed in a single strike… means you can die without regret."
The massive palm descended.
"Nanami-senpai!!!"
Ino's voice trembled with fear.
He had only just been promoted to Grade 1—
with Nanami's recommendation and Yaga's approval.
And now—
Kenjaku's confidence shattered instantly.
A piercing death cry rang out from the Human-Elephant.
One strike. Instant exorcism.
Within Master Tengen's barrier, teleporting sorcerers wasn't unusual…
But destroying a Special Grade in a single blow—
Kenjaku's pupils trembled as he saw the shikigami reduced to a sphere.
"They're not fodder. They're heroes who purge evil."
Yuki Tsukumo stepped forward, disgust written plainly on her face.
Despite Kenjaku's influence over one of the Three Great Clans and even the school's higher-ups—
as a former Star Plasma Vessel, nearly all records of Yuki's technique and domain had been erased.
The only thing he knew—was that her shikigami once pierced a Zen'in heir's palm during Shibuya.
"Justice?" Kenjaku mocked.
"And I'm evil? How childish… for a Special Grade."
"That's a privilege of being a pretty girl—you loser!"
Yuki lunged forward!
Kenjaku focused more on the shikigami behind him, dodging its attack while raising his arm to block Yuki's punch—
In his eyes, the shikigami was the bigger threat.
He was wrong.
BOOM!
A punch infused with imaginary mass—
obliterated his guard, punched through his arm, and smashed into his face!
Flesh caved in. Bones shattered. Blood sprayed everywhere!
Kenjaku's body flew like a ragdoll—crashing through terrain and buildings for hundreds of meters!
As he was sent flying, Tengen teleported the injured away—
Yaga, Nanami, Choso, and Ino were moved to safety to recover.
Now, the roles had reversed.
Yuki would probe Kenjaku—while the others prepared to re-enter the fight.
Using Reverse Cursed Technique, Kenjaku regenerated.
He stood, expression grim.
"So the old fox wasn't holding back earlier…
You're strong."
Having experienced her technique firsthand, he understood its terror.
Her technique—"Star Rage"—
applied imaginary mass only at the moment of impact.
It didn't burden her body—
but delivered overwhelming force to the target.
A rule that surpassed even the Human-Elephant's.
An attack that ignored concepts entirely—dealing maximum damage.
"Looks like my cursed spirits are useless now," Kenjaku admitted.
Anything with weaker rules would be instantly destroyed.
"That's right," Yuki said, raising her fist.
"This is my technique—Star Rage."
With technique disclosure, its power surged even further.
Kenjaku's gaze sharpened.
Yuki's expression darkened.
Troublesome.
Cursed energy surged wildly.
Like hunters meeting on a narrow bridge—
they shared the same thought.
In the next instant—
They both acted.
"Domain Expansion: Womb Profusion!"
"Domain Expansion: Star Rage Fist!"
BOOM!!!
