Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 22

"H- How?" Satoru muttered in pure disbelief as he heard what Hiroyuki just said.

"Well, actually, there are many ways to bypass Infinity. The most effective one is probably using a domain. The sure hit effect that the Domain applies is already enough to neutralize that Cursed Technique of yours. And then there's also this thing called Domain amplification which is basically..."

Satoru, as he hears Hiroyuki go on and on with lots of things, his words for him start turning like cursive. His brother kept using some strange words that were unfamiliar to him. It's almost like he's speaking in a different language all of a sudden.

But he isn't that ignorant. Although the majority of it is still unknown to him, one thing is for sure. Everything that his brother is saying revolves around the idea of Domain. And Domain, he's aware of that. He heard the elders say something about it during his lectures.

Domain Expansion. One of the hardest techniques to perform. The pinnacle of Jujutsu Sorcerery. Something along those lines.

'Don't tell me, brother can already do that?? N- no way. Isn't that supposed to be-'

Satoru, whose in the middle of his thoughts, was forced to stop as he suddenly noticed his Brother's gesture at him. Making him regain his focus on what's in front of him.

"... Stop thinking too much about it. I'm not going to use something like that anyway. I'm just making you aware of it. Besides, I don't have much leisure to pull out a domain whenever I want. Every drop of my curse energy is important you know?"

"Then brother... what are you going to do then if not that??" Satoru asked, genuinely curious.

"Hmm. I'll probably just resort to some kind of mental attack."

"Huh... Mental attack?"

"Yeah, basically overloading your brain with enough stress. I mean, just like any technique, if you lose focus, then there's no way you can still keep it running, right?" Hiroyuki said while repeatedly tapping his head, showing an expression that clearly said 'You don't know about that?'

"I- I know about it of course! But that's not the point here! Nii-chan, you can do mental attacks!?" Satoru said out loud, all while wearing an absurd expression on his face. Finding such a fact is hard to believe.

"Umm... Kinda? I used to practice something like that in the past. Though, I'm not good at it. Psychic stuff isn't my forte in the first place." Hiroyuki said while giving off a light laugh as, mid-speech, a certain rude girl suddenly overlapped through his vision.

However, he had to shake it off immediately as he was not in a situation to reminisce.

"Anyways, all I'm saying is that... I can do one kind of mental attack. If you find that unbelievable, no worries. I'll show you." Right after that, Hiroyuki finally stopped walking around. At the same time, the aura around him changed drastically.

!!!

Satoru on the other hand, right after seeing the change in his brother's movements, alarms started going on inside his head. In response, he instinctively increased everything he had to its maximum output. At the same time, keeping his eyes locked on his brother, trying to perceive his next possible moves.

The problem is...

"huh?"

He immediately realized that what he just did is a bad move. Because the moment the two of them met gazes...

*Thud!*

Whatever happened after that, made Satoru's whole body lose its strength and shake uncontrollably, ultimately making him fall to the ground.
