Chapter 25: Around The World.
"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Yoshinobu (Kingaku) asked Onoki standing in front of him.
"Although you are still young, you are a special-grade sorcerer and no one can dissuade you from your choice. However, I still want to ask you if you are sure of your decision."
"Yes, I am sure this is what I want to do. I will go on a trip around the world in order to increase my experience. I will discover several things on my trip and move from one country to another in search of cursed spirits." Onoki replied in a calm voice.
Onoki was not lying at all. He wanted to travel around the world and explore it in order to increase his strength. This world was different from his previous world and until now, Onoki had not learned everything there was about cursed energy.
This world's energy system was different from the previous world, in this world your fighting style and method were determined from birth and there wasn't much to learn other than that, Onoki wanted to explore this world to find out if there were secrets hidden within the cursed energy, something he could learn.
"Well you can do whatever you want then" Yoshinobu (Kingaku) said.
That was two days ago already, now Onoki was boarding a plane to Brazil, after saying goodbye to Iori there was no reason to delay his flight so within a day Onoki landed in Brazil.
There was no specific reason why he chose this country, his eyes just fell on it randomly, from there he would embark on a journey around the two American continents then to Africa and on to Europe and then back to Japan again.
The journey would take at least three years since he wouldn't use any means of transportation at all.
Brazil was a hot and humid country, the climate in this country was tropical so there were many heat waves and rain.
As soon as Onoki arrived he could sense the cursed energy near the airport, Onoki headed there directly.
"A cemetery next to the airport, who would build an airport next to a cemetery, the dead will crawl out of their graves from the inconvenience" Onoki muttered as soon as he saw the place where the cursed energy was emanating from.
He stepped forward and took a look around, the tombstones were covered with weeds and leaves, the oldest grave in the place was over a hundred years old.
Onoki walked around the cemetery before he could locate the cursed spirit, near the entrance of the cemetery there was a small wooden cup, it turned out that Onoki did not enter the cemetery through the main entrance.
"All that remains is to purify the cursed spirit and move forward, come out of the darkness, darker than darkness, purify the impurity"
Onoki set up the seal to create the barrier and recited the specified spell, however, a problem occurred while using the technique and the activation failed.
"Oh, yes, without Tenjin's help, it would be difficult to create barriers, most of the assistant managers receive Tenjin's help in creating them "
"Although I can use it if I use more cursed energy."
A black curtain formed in the sky and quickly covered the entire cemetery.
This was the first time that Onoki to use the barrier technique without relying on Tenjin , but using his own energy .
And as expected, it consumed more cursed energy.
After the barrier was formed, Onoki entered the small wooden hut and immediately the environment around him changed, he was transported to a dry flat land with no trace of water around, the air was extremely hot and it caused Onoki to feel a burning sensation in his lungs.
There were some withered and dry trees around the place while there was a sunset in the horizon .
"Incomplete domain expansion , unfortunately it seems that this cursed spirit will not be giving me any fun time," Onoki said as he looked around.
*Fuuuuuuuu*
A wall rose up and blocked the path of the fire coming from the side, immediately followed by fireballs from all directions.
"It seems I was wrong, this is a coplete domain expansion" Onoki said as he created more rock walls around him and useed it to defend him from the fireballs coming towards him.
The fireballs were coming from every direction and in a few moments Onoki's field of vision was completely engulfed.
"Then this is a guaranteed hit , as long as there is someone within the field they will be pelted with fireballs until they die" Onoki analyzed as he dodged the attacks and searched for the cursed spirit around him.
Among the fireballs coming towards him there was a special one in particular, it was floating in the air silently amidst the flying balls, without a doubt that was the cursed spirit.
Without no hesitation Onoki immediately created a rock spear and threw it towards it.
There was no time to dodge the spear and the fireball got pierced through and fell to the ground and immediately the fireballs stopped shooting towards him.
A screaming sound rang out as Onoki stepped forward.
There was a cursed spirit on the ground in the form of a human with a black, burning body, it was unclear what gender it was. The only thing that stood out were the eyes, which seemed to be burning with fire.
The creature reached out towards Onoki with his hand and opened its mouth, but no sound came out, only streams of smoke slowly coming out.
Equally slowly, the creature raised its other hand.
Onoki wasn't going to wait for the cursed spirit to complete its attack and attacked immediately.
[Dust Release: Primordial World Separation Technique]
Unfortunately, before Onoki could finish his technique, the cursed spirit disintegrated into black smoke and fled far away, immediately Onoki was bombarded again by a series of guaranteed hits fireballs.
"Hmm, you escaped but you won't survive anyway," Onoki hummed, becoming a bit serious.
A few meters away from him, the cursed spirit was hiding again among the scattered fireballs , it seems that another suprise attack won't work .
Onoki immediately created several clones and got to work.
[Earth Release: Earth Clone]
Each clone held a white cube in their hands and shot fire in all directions, wanting to see if the domain expansion could withstand his attack.
In the previous world, the Earth Clone could only use Earth Release but it seemed that the technique had changed a bit in this world, after all it was using different energy instead of chakra.
[Dust Release: Primordial World Separation Technique]
As the attack was launched in all directions randomly, Onoki could see that the cursed spirit was trying hard to send fireballs to intercept Onoki's attack to no avail.
The fireballs were unable to do anything to the dust release .
The cursed spirit was soon in a disadvantageous position, Onoki did not let this opportunity slip away and eventually turned the cursed spirit into dust.
With the death of the cursed spirit, the domain expansion instantly collapsed and Onoki found himself in the previous hut.
"Well that was a bit easy, I was expecting some challenge but it didn't seem like there was anything to be done."
"At least I was able to win this one." Onoki said as a cube of translucent black light formed in his hand.
[Reverse Curse Technique: Dust Release: Primordial World Synthesis Technique]
The cube quickly expanded until it almost reached onoki's full length, immediately the black ball inside exploded with black light, after a while the black cube shrank and disappeared leaving only a pair of blades wrapped in white bandages.
Two bare blades with a handle wrapped in bandages, as soon as Onoki grabbed them the blade was fully revealed, the blade was blood red and glowed from time to time with several eyes extending from the handle to it's end .
With each wave of the blade Onoki was able to release several dashes of red blood flame, it was not a suitable place to test the capabilities of the two blades so Onoki stopped before burning the wooden hut.
As soon as Onoki released the two blades they were wrapped in bandages again.
"It was designed exactly as I imagined, using the cursed technique of the cursed spirit this cursed tool was created, its name will be Seki"
Onoki stored this Seki next to Shibuki and the Split Soul Katana and set off on his way, there were still many cursed spirits to hunt .
"By the end of this journey my weapon vault will be completely filled"
