Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 18

Hiroyuki was about to unleash his attack...


"Domain Exp-" And Mamoru, was about to do something that is at least comparable to that.


*KRACKLE!*

???

But before both parties could even do whatever they were trying to do, a huge shadow suddenly loomed throughout the entire area they were in. Making the already darkened place, even more darker.

!!!

'what the...'

Catching their undivided attention, Hiroyuki, upon looking up, there he saw a huge Glacier, falling and just a few moments away before it ultimately crashed upon them.

The size of it was so huge it was as if someone took a chunk of a certain building and dropped it onto them.

'shit!'

Hiroyuki didn't even have time to question things as he immediately halted from his tracks and quickly redirected his attack.

The falling glacier is too big and already too close to dodge. Well, if Hiroyuki decided to act now then he could probably get out of the way before the impact. But if he does that, then Mamoru could most likely escape from him.

Hiroyuki is not that naive. He is obviously aware that this happening was most likely caused by Mamoru's allies, or whoever was controlling her body right now. And that they did this to cause a distraction.

So given such a situation, Hiroyuki, who refused to back off, only has two choices.

He can either just go on with his attack to kill Mamoru and ignore the falling glacier... which is very stupid. Even Hiroyuki is aware that there's no way he can survive the impact of such a large thing without putting too much effort on his side.

Or, it might be a little taxing for him but, he can just outright destroy the entire glacier first and then proceed to kill Mamoru afterward... Which is the exact choice he made without putting much thought into it.

"Maximum Output..."

*BADUMP!*

"... Exploding Heart Release Fist!"

Driving his fist upward, the entire forest suddenly shook as Hiroyuki caused a massive torrent of air pressure towards the sky.

*KAVWOOOOM!!!!*

It was as if a hurricane suddenly descended and caused a quick calamity. Even the trees that are far away and not even within Hiroyuki's attack range, were pulled out from their roots and got sucked in on the torrents of wind.

Even the glacier itself, given its massive mass, did not manage to pose any kind of resistance and simply crumbled away like the others.

Pure annihilation and explosive destruction. Not a single thing on the way was spared.

'what kind of...'

At that exact moment, is when a new kind of expression surfaced on Mamoru's face, a kind of expression that she would not have thought she'd have while facing a kid like Hiroyuki.

Cause right now, she just realized that, if Hiroyuki's attack just now was directed towards her and not at the Glacier, even if she managed to manifest her own Domain... she would've died regardless.

As simple as that.

Indeed, she thought Hiroyuki's next attack would be powerful, but not THIS powerful. For her, this is just outright insane. Given the Six Eyes' existence, the world should not have allowed something like 'this' to exist.

She simply cannot understand the anomaly... that Hiroyuki is.

That's why, without even missing a beat, right after seeing Hiroyuki obliterate the Glacier not even a single particle of it remained...

"URAUME!!"

"... On it."

Hiroyuki, as planned, was about to kill Mamoru immediately after dealing with the falling Glacier. But, a white-haired girl wearing traditional clothing, named Uraume, suddenly appeared in between him and Mamoru.

!!!

Seeing Uraume's hands pointing toward his direction, paired with her flaring Cursed Energy and the sudden drop in the temperature, Hiroyuki immediately prepared to attack cause he had a vague idea about what was going to happen.

"As if I'll let you-"

However, his movements became a little sluggish this time.

Well, given how old Hiroyuki is, mentally wise, at the end of the day, he's still in the body of a 12-year-old kid. And constantly performing feats beyond what his body can handle, side effects are surely bound to happen soon.
