24 Chapter 2️⃣2️⃣ - Yuki training (3)
Timeskip - Day six
"Before we spar I want to clarify some more things about domain expansion. One typically forgotten fact about a domain is that the caster is vulnerable immediately after once a domain is dropped. Once a domain is lowered the domain's caster's technique burns away temporarily becoming unusable. Leaving you open to a predictable weak point even if you defeated the enemy inside there could be a threat outside you were not prepared for." Yuki announced
"There are furthermore lethal & non-lethal domains. Lethal domains are the norm of Domains in the modern day while non-lethal domains simply make you comply with a set of rules in the domain." Yuki continued. "Other than that get ready to fight me like how you will fight a curse user. Do not restrict yourself if you deem nothing working use your trump card."
"Hmm." I said nodding.
'Is she gonna beat me till I use domain expansion?' I speculated as my curse spirit wrapped around me with its mouth open.
As Garuda was behind her floating getting in her fight stance I followed right after.
No sound was made just quietness. Due to my tame curse mouth being open, its saliva hit the ground.
Gripping a blood packet I manipulated it into two & rotated them.
'Slicing Exorcising!'
Launching both of the projectiles it began turning at a high acceleration soaring.
"Using a long-range attack to create distance is not bad." Yuki started punching the floor with her curse technique forming dust everywhere making it hard to see.
'Flowing red scale' A X surround one eye as that eye opens.
My two projectiles cut through the dust like paper. Turning to the right I see Garuda swinging its tail to strike. I also felt Yuki's curse energy behind me.
"But that won't work against me." Yuki yelled
Avoiding a kick I palm strike Yuki in the abdomen then followed up with a low kick towards her leg. Looking up I see Yuki smirking.
'That attack would've propelled Todo'
Yuki stomps on my foot the floor cracks under it.
'Tch my foot!'
Trying to escape Yuki throws a punch to my face reacting quickly I counterattack & palm-strike her face earning a bruise from it.
Shifting my arm down I block an attack from Garuda looking forward I see Yuki's fist. Making contact with my face the attack swatted me to the ground across the room.
'Tch my arm is damaged from Garuda attack due to Yuki technique the same with my foot' Touching my face my nose started oozing blood.
'She was serious when she said she will aim to hurt me'
Seizing my bow out of the snake's mouth I get a couple of arrows & fired them at Yuki. Evading the first 2 Yuki caught 3 arrows with her bare hands. While Garuda knocks one from her side away.
Putting my bow back I see Yuki lunge at me. Doing the same I throw a jab swerving Yuki strikes me in the face with her palm earning a bruise on my cheek. Garuda appears & swings its tail toward my torso with Yuki curse technique hitting me.
'Flowing red scale: Stack'
The X emerges over my other eye as both X extended over my nose & cheek.
'Increasing the output of flowing red scale. This should help me keep up'
With both Yuki & Garuda attacking at the same time I put my hand out & create a condensed blood shield blocking Garuda's thrust then I dodge Yuki's strike.
Lower than Yuki I position both of my arms to the ground & lift both my legs around Yuki's torso.
'He's faster than he has ever been during the last couple of days of our training. The x around his eye got longer is he perhaps increasing his output of this one technique? He wasn't this fast last time & his reacting speed wasn't that quick' Yuki speculated as she watch me pull my body weight up.
Positioning both my hands together I aim at Yuki's face.
'Convergence'
'I won't compresses & condenses my blood to its limit so I can use Conveyance from my blood of Piercing blood. But I will increase my output to make up for it'
Yuki put both of her arms reinforcing them with curse energy to her face as to seeing my hand gathering curse energy. Garuda wrapped around my body pulling me down but not Yuki creating a crater under me. My legs around Yuki started to buckle as the weight started getting tome.
Maximum Cursed Energy Output:
"Piercing blood!"
*BANG
A beam of blood blasted from my fingertips piercing Yuki's arms.
'Fast! It's getting through. If I didn't react & reinforce my arms with curse energy I would've...' Yuki thought.
Piercing through Yuki's reinforced arm with ease the beam cut through her face.
Her arms started to smoke. Bleeding lots of blood from her face & arms as her arms had a hole in them. Yuki laughs. "HEH HEH, NOT BAD."
'His output... It's not bad it's around high grade 1' Yuki thought
Bringing myself up I focus "flowing red scale: Stack" in my elbow. Elbowing Yuki's face multiple times after that, I snap my finger.
"I'm not finished, BLOOD CONVEYANCE!" I shouted grinning taking a chunk out of Yuki's arms. As her upper half was covered in smoke outta nowhere her arm zoom through the smoke gripping my throat.
*GAHH
Looking at her arms I see it healed. Feeling my body go up my eyes widened as my back hit the ground so hard blood spat out my mouth.
"Brat you caught me off guard." Yuki said moving her head through the smoke. Getting a good look at her there was a Scar on her forehead. The blood that was covering her face disappear from healing. "You force me to use reverse curse technique & I have this scar on my face all because of you. Now I will force you to use Domain expansion even if you have no lower half." Yuki said smiling like a madman.
Grabbing my head Yuki pick me up & slammed me on the ground causing my head to leak blood. Blood drenched the floor paneling.
Getting up I tried to back up but Garuda was still wrapped around me. Due to increasing my output on 'Flowing red scale' I was moving better with the weight holding me.
Dodging a kick Yuki punch me in the face giving me an eye swollen trying to block it my was wrist dislocated. Due to Garuda's attack on my torso & the slam to the floor, I felt my ribs were broken.
- Flashback to Day one
"Before we start your training I want you to ask yourself what object or image feels unbeatable to you. What seems so incomprehensible that you pray you never would have to oppose it? Throughout this training week do some real thinking about it. It would come in handy." Yuki said smacking my back.
- Flashback over
'Something that feels unbeatable. I imagine a deep river of blood. Big Red Moon. A deep sense of despair that forces a special grade like Yuki or Gojo to become concerned & be cautious as one wrong moved & they will perish' I considered
Before Yuki round up her kick I put my hands out & did a hand sign.
"Domain Expansion." I chanted
Yuki's eyes widen as a dome surrounded us.
"Sanguineous Gnamma of Despair." I said grinning as blood was leaking from my forehead to my teeth.
My brain was crammed with information as soon as the domain finished. I prevented some passive effects of the Domain from targeting Yuki.
Inside the domain, there was a big pink blossom tree that conjure behind me falling drops of blood into the river of blood.
In front of me, there was a big red moon.
Glimpsing at me Yuki was surprised as my injury's started to heal. Surprised as well that the blood I lost before my domain expansion replenishes.
"You can heal? Wow." Yuki spoke out while looking around.
"Yeah, my domain also replenishes the blood I lost before activation." I spoke closing my eyes. "I immediately stopped my domain passive efforts from harming you. Your lucky." I said Smirking.
"Passive efforts? What's the sure hit?" Yuki questioned
"Let me check." Looking through the information in my brain I found out what my sure hit was.
"The Blossom tree behind me fires a super condensed thick of blood that will blast my opponent into oblivion." I announced "The river of blood I can control. For example I can create a wave of blood to submerge my opponent."
'Plus as a passive effort, anyone who touches my blood will bleed large amounts from the mouth, eyes, & whatever injury they gained during our battle before my domain activated'
Walking to the blossom tree behind me I see that it looks like every other blossom tree in my backyard at the Kamo estate but bigger. The energy it surrounds itself says otherwise.
'...'
My domain fully lowered as Yuki & I were standing in the training room blood everywhere.
'It seems my domain heals my body & replenishes my blood to 100% even after my domain is released'
'Even if my technique become unstable I would be at full strength & my blood would be replenished. Meaning I would have a clean slate vs my opponent who will still have the injuries from our battle before'
"Not even a minute did your domain stay up." Yuki said smiling. "Which is not surprising for a beginner sorcerer's domain with such lethal can't miss."
"One minute is more than enough to finish my opponent." I said smirking.
"When you practice with it & train before carelessly experimenting with it in battle it will contain itself better. It will stand up longer it will cost less & less cursed energy & it will beat other challenging Domains. That being said your Domain is sure to annihilate enemies who lack the proper countermeasure against a domain even with those who do have countermeasures as you can create a wave to drown them." Yuki said rubbing her chin.
Looking at her face I see the scar I give her.
"I apologize ."
"Oh for this?" Yuki asked rubbing her forehead. "This nothing probably karma from giving Todo that big scar."
'Oh yeah, Todo did say she gave him that scar. I guess it's payback'
"Anyways since you have Falling Blossom Emotion it's best you wait & see your opponent's domain first to see their level of refinement. Then approach with however you feel is necessary."
"I agree."
"Welp, technically your training is over now that you've cast a Domain. I probably see Todo then leave. It's nice meeting you Kamo we probably meet again when the time comes. Keep practicing with your domain & I don't know when but I want to fight you going all out."
"It's nice meeting you Yuki - San thanks for teaching me I will continue to practice my domain. And no I will not fight you again going all out I will die." I said laughing.
"You cheeky brat don't die." Yuki said departing the training facility.
'I won't die. We see each other again fighting a Geto suguru whose body got controlled by a brain that took control of my ancestor. The evilest jujutsu sorcerer Noritoshi Kamo'
"Oh, I can use my curse technique properly now."
A/n: Now that his domain training is over I might just go str8 to the goodwill event that happened in 2017 then a mission or sum then the Geto attack on jujutsu high.
