29 Devious plan

Asakusa, Tokyo..

Sensoji Temple Mountain Range.....

Situated within the forest, a rather large cave stood proudly, however, rather than displaying the magnificence of nature, it resembled a symbol of pure evil, as a result of the unnatural aura of evil and negativity that emanated from its entrance every now and then.

The inside of this cave was rather large, almost as large as a small apartment, and within it were prison cells constructed from metal and wood that held multiple victims drenched in blood, lifeless or decapitated bodies painting a bloody and gory scene that would cause even the most hardened soldier to puke in innards.

The cave itself was littered with cursed spirits of all grades that tortured and ripped apart the bodies of the victims which mostly consisted of women and children in their cells.

Within one such cell, an unconscious young woman dressed in a Jujutsu uniform was bound in chains against the walls of the cell that was heavily guarded.

"Ughhh..."

After a few moments she opened her eyes only to be met with the scene of two cursed spirits ripping apart the body of a little girl of about 3 years old and relishing in the tasty blood of the girl.

She was dumbstruck for a few moments, and her mind was unable to register what was going on.

She didn't know where she was, and why she was here, and the last thing she remembered was getting....

'Shit!!!'

She cursed in her mind and continually scanned her surroundings in much fear hoping she was unrecognized by the demonic looking cursed spirits around, however she realized that, all the cells were arranged in a circular fashion, and by some coincidence, her cell was right in the middle.

At that point, even though she was a Jujutsu sorcerer, she gritted her teeth in fear, seeing the outrageous and utterly gory scenes that were happening before her. As if, she had been placed in a lions den all by herself, she felt alone and fearful, however she wasn't the only one feeling that way, glancing around, she could see the figures of many young girls with hopeless and lifeless expressions.

*BANG!*

Noticing that she was awake, the two humongous cursed spirits rushed towards her cell and began banging on it with their muscly arms, causing it to shake, as she covered her ears in fear.

Trying to manipulate her cursed energy her eyes widened in shock, realizing that she didn't have an iota of it, as if it had been sucked dry.

*Sha!.....Sha...*

The next moment, a shrill cry reverberated across the cave, like it came from the depths of hell itself, as a lithe figure came walking towards her with a seductive smile.

A beautiful and voluptuous woman that looked like she came right out of a painting, dressed in fine wine robe that failed to cover most of the important parts of her body.

Upon sight, most of the cursed spirits around immediately ceased their activities and crouched down in fear of the seemingly ordinary beautiful woman.

"You're awake, my dear.." Signalling to the cursed spirit before her, it opened the gates to her cell, as she walked in gracefully while sashaying her hips seductively.

Standing before her, Ieiri could sense an extremely powerful yet utterly calm aura alround the woman, as well as a cursed energy output that was even greater than Ayumu, who was known to have one of the largest reserves.

Sighing in realization, she now remembered that Kenshin had spoken of an hidden and deep aura that was presumably special Grade before, however at the time, she was too concerned about keeping her body safe from his prying eyes rather than listening to the important details and now she is as paying the price.

"When my oni told me that he had caught a Jujutsu sorcerer, I couldn't believe it, but it turns out not only was he right, you're quite the special sorcerer as well..."

Speaking in seductive voice, the woman caressed her chin, however Ieiri's eyes few fierce.

She wasn't going to be toyed around like some sort of trash.

"And what are you? Why have you brought me here? And why have you slaughtered all these people?!"

Holding up a brave front she asked multiple questions as the woman laughed in response.

"Bring her to the throne.." Signalling the cursed spirits before her, she smiled and walked out, as the cursed spirits firmly grabbed onto Ieiri's arms and carried her, following the woman, until the reached the innermost part of the cave.

The condition of that place was even worse comparing to where the cells stood. This place was called a throne according to the woman, but it was some sort of altar, with a large chain constructed of the bones of humans.

Adjacent to the throne, was a pool of blood, and humans being butchered by some sort of cursed spirit chef, who seemed to be preparing some sort of gourmet.

Walking towards the throne, the woman climbed atop a stair way made from bones as well and then sat on the throne with a prideful expression.

Looking around her in anger and fear, Ieiri was dropped to the ground and on her knees, as she glared at the woman who sat atop the throne with a prideful expression.

"If you're going to kill me, kill me now!..." Roaring our, Ieiri gnashed her teeth, seeing the humans getting butchered by the bull like cursed spirit. She didn't fear death itself, but she wasn't willing to butchered alive by some random ass cursed spirit for no reason.

"Calm down, child, I'm not going to kill you, at least not yet...you see, for centuries now, You Jujutsu sorcerers all act like tough nuts on the outside, but on the inside, you're just any other human....scared.."

Uttering a few words, she waved a finger, and the next moment, a thin elastic string swept out glowing with mettallic sheen. Everything happened so fast that even Ieiri with her heightened senses was unable to see properly.

In a split second, the two cursed spirits beside her had their bodies cleaved into two, and not only that, the string managed to somehow slash about an inch beside her cheek, leaving just a small wound.

"You see, if I wanted, I would be able to kill instantly, even offer you a painless death if that's what you wish for, however like I said, you're too precious for that..."

Smiling and retracted her finger, smiling softly seeing the shocked expression on the face of the young woman.

"I've existed for nearly a millenia now, and it was only recently that I discovered, the secret to Eternal youth and immortality, although I couldn't have done it without a friend..."

Speaking solemnly, the figure of a handsome young man with a stitches on his forehead flashed in her mind, before she cleared her thoughts, walked to Ieiri and began circling her.

"To be able to manifest my dream, I needed the perfect host, someone with potential and strength..and now, the universe sends you to me as an act of Providence.."

She stretched her palm and spoke with a small smile while casually examining the figure of the young woman before her.

"You're mistaken. I'm human and in the end, just like everything in the world, I will pass away...your plan won't succeed even if you take over my body..."

Ieiri shook her head and spoke with a defiant look.

"Oh, don't worry about that, with my soul assimilating your body, it's going to break the confines of mortality. All I need is for you to be a good little girl and let me take over okay..."

Whispering in Ieiri's ear, the young sorcerer gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in fear and anger.
