Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half-Chapter 182: Healing Technique (BONUS)

In the sky, the Rainbow Dragon, which had previously been attacked by Ryūjin Jakka, stood no chance against Minazuki.

Under Shoko's command, Minazuki moved as gracefully as a manta ray, continuously releasing waves of energy. One, two, three waves—each one striking directly at the Rainbow Dragon.

The pale dragon staggered awkwardly in the air. After struggling for more than ten seconds, it finally crashed down, slamming into the ground and kicking up a cloud of heavy dust.

It's over.

This exorcism mission seemed to have reached its conclusion.

The culprit behind all of this, the special-grade cursed spirit Rainbow Dragon, had been taken down by Minazuki. Geto Suguru and Yagyū Saemon had also been successfully rescued.

Yōshu let out a sigh of relief.

His gaze fell on the unconscious Yagyū Saemon lying nearby. Fortunately, he was still alive. Otherwise, Yōshu truly did not know how he would have explained this to the Yagyū family.

Just as the three-man support team thought the crisis had passed, Yagyū Saemon suddenly began to cough violently. His pale complexion turned abnormally red.

Yagyū Saemon's injuries were too severe. Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique could only provide temporary stabilization, not a complete cure.

The expressions of Sekiguchi Seiji and Yaga Masamichi immediately darkened.

Eliminating the special-grade cursed spirit was not the real objective here.

Their mission was to rescue Yagyū Saemon alive. If the Rainbow Dragon was defeated but Yagyū Saemon died, their mission would be considered a failure.

Yaga Masamichi stepped forward to check on Yagyū Saemon's condition.

But Satoshi immediately stopped him.

"Gojo Satoshi, right? Let me take a look. Yagyū Saemon's situation is serious," Yaga Masamichi urged.

From his perspective, if even Shōko's Reverse Cursed Technique couldn't heal these injuries, the damage must be beyond ordinary.

But to his surprise, Satoshi simply shook his head and replied calmly:

"Trust Shoko. She is the most skilled among all of us."

Satoshi's tone sounded arrogant, but Yaga Masamichi did not question it. After all, when it came to the Reverse Cursed Technique, they had no room to argue.

Still, the Reverse Cursed Technique was not a miracle cure.

From the current situation, it was obvious that Shoko's healing alone had not worked on Yagyū Saemon.

Although Yaga Masamichi couldn't think of a better solution himself, standing by and doing nothing wasn't an option.

Otherwise, what was the point of them being here?

Yaga Masamichi remained unwilling to give up, and Satoshi admired that persistence. This was indeed the same man who would one day mentor the trio of Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko.

However, even with that respect, Satoshi couldn't allow Yaga Masamichi to interfere. He knew that Shoko still had other methods. Even if the Reverse Cursed Technique had reached its limits, she had another trump card.

Satoshi's eyes glanced up at Minazuki circling in the sky. This manta ray's healing abilities were no weaker than the Reverse Cursed Technique. All Shoko needed to do was utilize Minazuki's unique technique to treat Yagyū Saemon.

As expected, everything proceeded just as Satoshi had imagined. Shoko recalled Minazuki from the sky, choosing not to finish off the Rainbow Dragon.

The massive creature twisted its flexible body and dove down toward the ground. Its sudden descent startled Sekiguchi Seiji, Yaga Masamichi, and Yōshu, who instinctively took a step back.

To them, it looked as though the giant manta ray was preparing to attack.

Minazuki swooped down gracefully, skimming low across the earth, before landing silently on the open ground.

The trio had no idea what Shoko was doing. But when they looked back, they realized that Yagyū Saemon, who had been lying beside Shoko, was gone.

Meanwhile, the enormous green ray was rhythmically moving its mouth, as if chewing on something. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Yaga Masamichi's heart dropped.

Had Yagyū Saemon been swallowed by this giant ray?

Why would Satoshi allow such a thing?

Wasn't Yagyū Saemon the one who had received the Zanpakutō Nejibana from Satoshi? Weren't the Yagyū and Gojo families on good terms?

Why would Satoshi permit this creature to devour Yagyū Saemon?

Confused, but driven by the urgency of the situation, Yaga Masamichi's first instinct was to rush toward Minazuki to stop it.

Regardless of the reason, he couldn't just stand there and watch Yagyū Saemon get eaten.

However, just as he was about to move, Satoshi once again blocked his path with a single step using Shunpo.

"Move aside, Satoshi!" Yaga Masamichi shouted, gathering cursed energy into his right fist, preparing to unleash Black Flash.

Though he was known for his Cursed Corpse Technique, Yaga Masamichi's hand-to-hand combat ability was not to be underestimated.

Satoshi was strong, but Yaga believed that if he could close the distance and prevent him from drawing his Zanpakutō, his chances of winning would increase significantly.

Yaga was confident—but Satoshi had no intention of testing his strength.

Satoshi's tone remained steady as he explained:

"This is Minazuki's ability. Minazuki heals by swallowing the wounded. Once Yagyū Saemon is released, his injuries will be fully healed."

Yaga Masamichi's body stiffened, his face filled with disbelief. How could such an ability exist?

Wasn't this massive green ray a cursed spirit?

Noticing the suspicion in Yaga's eyes, Satoshi gestured toward Shōko, who sat quietly with her eyes closed.

"Right now, Minazuki is channeling Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique. The more severe the injuries, the more cursed energy Shoko provides for healing."

"If you attack Minazuki now, it will directly interfere with Shoko's treatment."

"So, Principal Yaga, what will you do? Will you still attack, or will you step back?"

Satoshi's playful tone left Yaga Masamichi at a loss.

After a few moments of silence, Yaga withdrew the cursed energy from his fist and shook his head awkwardly.

"I was too rash. I didn't understand the situation. And also, I'm just a student at Jujutsu High... I'm not the principal."

He then pointed at Sekiguchi Seiji standing beside him.

"The principal is him..."

Sekiguchi Seiji, caught off guard by Yaga's words, also looked embarrassed.

Satoshi gave a silent laugh, unsure of how to respond.

I really let that slip.
