The Veil

Chapter # 28

"Take this..." Master Tengen materialized a cube similar to one (Name) was holding on to, "this is the back of the prison realm."

"Never heard of it before." Yuki shrugged.

"Is it like a back gate?"

"Yes, that is correct. Gojo rests in the rear gate of the prison realm."

Yuji stated, "so if we open it---"

"No, the authority to open the gate rests with Kenjaku, even if you have it with you, (Name)."

"How did you---"

"I sensed it the moment you walked in."

"There's no advantage of us having the prison realm?"

"I'm afraid, there isn't."

"Damn it..." Megumi muttered.

"And breaking into the prison realm requires either an inverted spear of heaven, that nullifies the curse techniques. Or the black rope that disrupts and cancels curse techniques."

'Something that momentarily cancels or disrupts curse techniques...' (Name) reckoned, "I feel like you have something to add, (Name)."

"Huh--- No, I was just thinking." She shook her head, "carry on..."

"But Satoru Gojo sealed the spear eleven years ago, or destroyed it."

"Why would you do that, Sensei?!"

'This guy... Never ceases to amaze me.'

"Last year he also got rid of black rope."

"Why would that guy do that!?" Megumi lamented.

"I went to Africa with Miguel, there wasn't any black rope left, sadly."

"But there is still a way right?"

"Yes, there is. Two as for now, right, (Name)."

They looked at her, "what does (Name) have to do with this?" Yuji asked.

"Arshi possesses the curse technique to momentarily disrupt or cancel anyone's technique."

"Oh, I remember that!" Kugisaki spoke, "the time we were in Shibuya I saw her using that technique."

"Half of the problems have been solved! Let's go and get her help." Yuji punched the air.

"No,"

"Why?"

"She isn't in Japan." (Name) uttered, "she most likely left for (Native country)."

"Most likely? It seems you aren't even sure about that." Yuki raised a brow.

"Alright, but what is the other way?"

"That involves (Name) over here."

"What does (Name) has to do with  anything?" Megumi asked.

"Why not ask her yourself?" 'Tengen, you bitch.'

"Tell us, (Name)." Kugisaki placed a hand over her shoulder.

"Well, there is a way to stop Tengen's merging with humankind." (Name) hesitated, "like he said before, if he was to merge with star plasma vessel, it'll bring evolution and make him a sorcerer again."

"Yes, that is possible, but without star---"

(Name) stopped her mid-sentence, "what if in theory, we get our hands on a star plasma vessel, Kenjaku's whole plan will fail."

"(Name), you are not making any sense."

"What if I say I am a star plasma vessel."

There was a high-pitched laugh, everyone was looking at Yuki who seemed like she's been told the best joke of her life, "(Name), this isn't time for joking." Yuki wiped her tears.
