A battle won

*Domain Expansion: Web of Deception!*

Before Kenshin's attack could land, he was instantly swallowed by a thick darkness and vanished on sight.

Reappearing in a whole new world, his jaws dropped in utter shock when he found himself right in front of the house he had lived in with his mother, father and sister when he was young.

Standing outside of the house, he could hear the melodious singing of his mother and the boisterous laughter of his father as well as the cute giggles from his little sister.

'No. It's a domain! Don't fall for it Kenshin, don't fall for it!'

Stabilizing his mind and holding himself back from rushing into the house to embrace his family, he remained strong and unwavering, however the next thing he witnessed made his blood run could, and made his heart shudder instantly.

The house was on fire. He heard screams, he heard gunshots beings fired, bodies getting ripped apart. As he stood there in utter shock, the door to the burning house suddenly opened as a figure in flames burst out with speed towards him.

It was a little girl whose body resembled plastic, getting melted by the immense flames. Kenshin instantly fell to his knees, hearing the heart wrenching screams of pain that were coming from a 5 year old little girl who had been set ablaze.

"Kenshin help me...please...it hurts...please..." She began crawling towards him while screaming in pain, and as tears run down his face, Kenshin dragged himself backwards in fear. He thought he had gotten over their deaths but he had not.

As his sister crawled towards him, another figure run out of the house and grabbed him by the arm. This time it was his mother whose skin was melting just the young girl.

"Why did you leave us, Kenshin!! We needed you!! You betrayed us!!!"

She screamed out, as tears flooded down Kenshin's face.

"No please...leave me alone..." Kenshin tried to escape, but their grips on him were like clamps of iron, unwilling to let go.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes watched him from above with a condescending and ridiculing gaze, seeing him fall victim to his own memories.

The was the sure hit effect of the web of deception. It could pull its target into an illusory plane an let them live out their deepest and darkest memories in an instant, as if it were an infinity.

'No matter how powerful you are boy, you're merely a child... a human, and are subject to your feelings and emotions just like everyone else...'

It might've been an instant or several years, Kenshin did not know how long had passed. He felt his soul and emotions descend into a deep dark abyss. Reliving this moment over and over, seeing his family getting butchered and tortured over and over was breaking the little amount of sanity he had left.

'Let go of it all...it's the only way to survive...the only way to win. Let the flames of the Phoenix fuel your path...let it burn..'

A voice suddenly resounded in his heart bringing back whatever pieces of his soul was left. He suddenly felt the seal of the fourth shikigami slowly loosen.

Was that what was required? Did he just have to let everything go? Should it all burn? He didn't want to become a monster, but he didn't want to die.

'Let it all go...' Hearing the voice the last time was the final straw. He immediately let go of his reservations, allowing himself to drown in flames.

He then felt the seal of the fourth shikigami loosen instantly as a searing heat erupted from within his heart along with a golden flame.

As his real body stood within the domain with his eyes closed off completely, as if his soul had been completely killed off, the cursed spirit finally materialized itself within the domain and moved to Kenshin while examining his figure.

"Hehehe...what a fine specimen...after I assimilate you, not even Sukuna or that fool Kashimo would be my match..."

Laughing heinously, she widened her mouth, wanting to chomp on his body and swallow him whole when his eyes snapped open the next moment.

"What?!"

The cursed spirit, Oragumo, instantly scrambled backwards in fear, sensing the aura that perfused his body.

The purplish color of the Rinnegan had switched to a golden color, as a flame symbol symbol lit up in between his brows.

The next moment, he lifted his head up to the skies, as a massive golden flame burst out of his body, bathing him in a golden colored light.

The flame was holy and gentle, as if belonged to a God, however the exterior only hid the terrrifying power on the interior.

"You dare harm my master?!" Taking a step forward, the entity within Kenshin's body spoke in a calm voice that seemed to embody the still waters as the flames increased in output.

"Die..."

Speaking in a whispery tone, Kenshin's body appeared before the Oragumo in split second, and stretched forth his index and middle fingers before gently tapping it across the body of the cursed spirit.

*Flame Beheader..."

The next moment, every part of the cursed spirit which had been touched by his fingers instantly exploded into golden flames leaving nothing behind..

Getting half her body destroyed in one attack, Oragumo was furious beyond belief, it instantly unleashed another avalanche of strings wanting to cleave his body apart, however, with a simple wave of his palm, the strings were cleaved apart and erupted in flames.

*Flame Descent...*

Stretching his arms to the side, Kenshin's hand formed an intricate hand seal, as a massive swirl of golden flames materialized in the sky and descend like a massive coulomb onto the body of the Oragumo, completely eradicating it, as it's domain shattered.

It wasn't rare for a sorcerer or curse to get their domain overwhelmed by a stronger, however, getting completely wrecked in your own domain was something that would definitely cause quite the stir if ever revealed.

Meanwhile, Ieiri had finally reached Jujutsu High after a wild sky ride with silver. Upon entering the school gates, she found Suguru and Satoru seated on one of the benches laughing.

"Satoru...Suguru!!"

"Ieiri..."

Both of them stood up abruptly seeing her in such a state, as she fell into Satoru's arms while hyperventilating.

"Kenshin!....go get Kenshin....he's...going..to lose..." She spoke and finally slumped into his arms completely unconscious while Satoru and Suguru looked at each other and sighed.

"We need to get her to Ayumu.." Suguru spoke as he and Satoru rushed her to the old man's dojo.
