Chapter 38

As the battle raged on, Hanami, with her sheer determination and unwavering resolve, aimed to contribute to the ongoing combat. She gathered her strength, poised to engage with Gojo, her resolve firm despite the overwhelming might of her opponent.

However, the ferocity of the conflict and the lightning-fast exchanges between Gojo and Shinju created a maelstrom of danger that Hanami found herself unable to navigate. With each maneuver, the combatants whipped through the confined space of the metro station, their blows shaking the very foundation of the surroundings.

Hanami, caught in the crossfire, attempted to find an opening to contribute, but the sheer speed and complexity of the battle left her vulnerable. The air crackled with the intensity of their clashes, leaving little room for her to maneuver without risking grave injury.

Despite her best efforts to evade the torrent of attacks that raged around her, Hanami found herself overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding in such close proximity. The sheer power and precision displayed by both Gojo and Shinju pushed her perilously close to the brink of devastation.

A flurry of strikes and maneuvers ensued, each movement adding to the danger surrounding Hanami. Struggling to keep up with the blinding speed of the battle and the overwhelming force of the combatants, she found herself caught in a dangerous situation where escape seemed an elusive dream.

As the battle intensified and the combatants' strategies grew increasingly complex, Hanami's peril became more pronounced. She fought desperately to evade the destructive force of their attacks, her survival hanging by a thread amidst the unforgiving storm of martial prowess and cursed techniques.

In the chaotic dance of combat unfolding before her, Hanami's plight grew increasingly dire, her chances of survival dwindling with each passing moment as the ferocity of the battle threatened to consume her.

Till one moment later, she couldn't keep her domain amplification and was drown toward the location of civilians, she resulted in using her cursed technique, several wooden roots have grown from the ground and where lunched toward Gojo but he took the opportunity to attack while fully repealing all the threads of Shinju from behind.

Shinju was slightly annoyed with that but wasn't surprised. However, she then chose to use her reverse cursed technique from distance after all those civilians were already marked. Gojo was surprised when threads have come from the location of civilians and not from behind.

Hanami watched as his punch filled with cursed energy close to her face when she suddenly began shifting her location, barely dodging it. Till she found herself in the middle of civilians.

Gojo planned to continue the attack before she completely used them as a shield when he detected an attack coming from his right, a quick reconnaissance, and he saw the source of the attack was the cursed womb.

Gojo suddenly found himself unable to kill them because of the location and the time limiting his techniques.

With a quick observation, he saw that Hanami had been pulled by several red threads coming from a human without any cursed energy.

' Normal people are unable to use curse techniques, but this red thread has the same feel as the one the masked lady uses but a little different, more like a reverse cursed technique. This is problematic and annoying, but also a little bad. I don't think that any other special grade sorcerer can exorcist her without her running away. The fact that nothing is known about her while she has a lot of fighting experience and a big mastery over her cursed energy can only mean that all those who faced her are dead. Coupled with the increasing number of MIA sorcerers that were remarqued in the last eight years, it would mean that she barely existed for a decade. '

Gojo understood that he will need to kill her first without giving the others a chance to interfere, as of now she is far from them then as long as he swiftly deal with her he will have all the time to kill the others.

So, in less than a second, he destroyed a wall and used blue to quickly attract the debris and form a small wall, cutting the battlefield in two. On one side, the cursed womb and Jogo, on the other side, him with Hanami and Shinju.

The wall will barely hold them for two seconds, but he can constantly teleporte and strike Shinju from where she will not expect till she dies.

Shinju sensed a life-threatening crisis all over her body the moment blue was cast. She knew that it would come from somewhere but couldn't identify what it would be or from where. On that occasion, she first immediately coeted her body with red threads before using a technique that she learned in her childhood.

' New shadow style, simple domain, full defense. ' A simple domain was cast, it was a derivative of the new shadow style simple domain that she further deduced and strengthen after becoming a curse, it have the capability to automatically make her locate and defend against anything that get inside before her brain even identify the thing, however attacking or counter attacking is impossible, but she still felt the threats so she used another technique with it. ' Falling blossoms emotions, three fold target location. ' In order to do that, she shrunk her simple domain from ten meters to an arm length in a sphere radius.

As the wall rose to separate the combatants, Shinju's defenses solidified, her threads intertwining into a shield that mirrored the resolve etched onto her face. Her crimson threads danced around her, a mesmerizing yet ominous sight, as she braced herself for the storm about to descend upon her.

In that precarious moment, her eyes flashed with a mixture of apprehension and unwavering determination, a testament to her readiness to confront the impending threat. Shinju remained poised and collected, ready to weather the storm unleashed by the formidable adversary standing just beyond the barrier Gojo had erected.
