Cornered

Couples flock to love hotels at certain times, and Valentine's Day is one of those special days for couples to have fun.

While couples are enjoying their intimate moments, they are unaware that the peace they now feel is thanks to the hard work of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exterminate Cursed Spirits.

In the Aokigahara Forest, considered haunted and only visited by the desperate, content creators making videos, and scavengers looting belongings from corpses, there is a Curtain invisible to ordinary people covering a small part of the Aokigahara Forest.

Inside the Curtain, the environment is vastly different from the outside.

Flames can be seen scorching the ground and trees, the ground is frozen with ice pillars scattered everywhere, craters of various sizes dot the area, countless Cursed Spirit corpses pile up forming mountains, and purple blood flows like rivers.

In short, this area has become a chaotic mess!

*Slash Slash Slash*

White flashes flickered, then the Cursed Spirits were sliced into pieces and died.

Compared to the massive Cursed Spirits, Eiji's figure was like a cockroach moving through a crowd of Cursed Spirits that never gave him a moment to breathe.

*Whoosh*

Moving at high speed, he maneuvered between the Cursed Spirits, his hands starting to go numb after swinging his katana for hours without stopping.

"Mhm."

Fatigue caused him to be careless, and he was struck on his back. Eiji groaned lightly, his figure falling into a pile of Cursed Spirit corpses on the ground.

*Whoosh*

Sliding from the pile of corpses, Eiji continued slashing the Cursed Spirits around him.

'I must hold on... Help will come... Maybe.'

The sun had long set, and his cousin should feel strange because he hadn't returned to the dorm after so long.

Eiji had lost count of how many Cursed Spirits he had killed after reaching ten thousand.

Even with superhuman strength, it was impossible for him to remain uninjured without the protection of Infinity. Moreover, he was no longer hiding his true power.

He didn't care if Kenjaku was watching him use Cyan.

"Pfttt..."

One of the Cursed Spirits managed a sneak attack, its sharp claw piercing Eiji's stomach.

"Cough."

Coughing blood, Eiji swung his katana backward, chopping the Cursed Spirit into minced meat within seconds.

"Hah Hah Hah..."

Covering his punctured stomach with his left hand, he used the Cursed Spirits as stepping stones to leap to an area with fewer Cursed Spirits, then activated Reverse Cursed Technique.

*Slash Slash Slash*

The Leaf Sword sent out dozens of waves, slashing through tens of Cursed Spirits in all directions.

Taking advantage of the brief respite, Eiji pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his Storage Ring and drank it quickly.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

Before the water was finished, the remaining few million Cursed Spirits charged.

*BOOM*

The area where Eiji stood was bombarded with long-range attacks, creating a crater hundreds of meters wide.

"Hah Hah Hah..."

Standing near the new crater, Eiji panted heavily.

Ignoring his exhaustion, he didn't want to miss the chance to use the Limitless Technique.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."

He created five Reds simultaneously, then shot them forward.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*

The strong repulsive force destroyed the Cursed Spirits filling his field of vision.

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Cyan."

This time, he didn't throw the Cyan at the enemy; instead, he crushed the energy ball in his palm. The next moment, cold air seeped out and formed a thick ice dome enclosing him inside.

Propping himself up with his katana to keep from falling, Eiji felt a severe headache.

Blood flowed from his eyelids down his cheeks, and his nose was bleeding too.

"This is bad; continuous use of Reverse Cursed Technique is causing severe damage to my brain."

Remember, the Six Eyes put a heavy burden on the brain. That's why Gojo Satoru used a blindfold to reduce its side effects.

As for Eiji, his constitution was stronger than his cousin's, so he didn't wear a blindfold. Thus, on ordinary days, he only used Reverse Cursed Technique once a day to refresh his brain. However, today he had used Reverse Cursed Technique twenty-eight times.

Through the Six Eyes, Eiji could see his brain experiencing severe bleeding. Forget continuing to fight, he couldn't even stand normally.

"Cough Cough Cough..."

Vomiting a lot of blood from his mouth, Eiji could hear cracks forming in the ice dome. It seemed Kenjaku realized he was at his limit, which is why the Cursed Spirits' attacks intensified.

"What should I do... Am I going to die here?"

In the face of a desperate situation, Eiji didn't feel any fear, only reluctance.

He had never lived an ordinary life; he wanted to attend a normal school, work part-time, and experience what it felt like to fall in love.

He was only 16 years old!

His youth had just begun; Eiji didn't want his life to end here.

*Crack*

*Crush-Bang*

Under the combined attack of several million Cursed Spirits, the ice dome lasted only 20 seconds.

Seeing countless Cursed Spirits approaching him, Eiji entered a strange state.

They seemed to move very, very slowly as if someone was playing a video at the slowest speed.

Of course, Eiji understood that it wasn't the Cursed Spirits that were slow, but his mind was accelerating very fast.

"What is happening...?"

"Could it be... Six Eyes Awakening?"

Closing his eyes, Eiji felt the Six Eyes had not undergone any changes.

As he was confused, suddenly a fragment of Lin Fan's memory appeared.

"There's hope!"

Eiji's eyes sparkled with joy, he had found the solution to his current problem.

"Do it or die!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he began his crazy and very dangerous move.

If successful, he would have the ability to continue fighting for several more hours. And if he failed, his brain would suffer permanent damage, and he would become an idiot or even vegetative.

But Eiji didn't care, even though the risk was very dangerous and the chances of failure were very high. After all, if he didn't dare to gamble, he would also be killed under the siege of several million vicious Cursed Spirits.
