Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?-Chapter 186 - 177: Double Domain!
Chapter 186 - 177: Double Domain!
"A monster? What do you mean?"
Yukinoshita Haruno asked, confused.
"I already explained, didn't I? There's a cursed spirit nearby."
Without hesitation, Hayashizaki took control of the body, patted Nue's back, and signaled it to lower altitude.
The giant owl-like shikigami glided through the night sky, weaving between skyscrapers before silently dissolving into a shadow and vanishing.
The girl appeared on the rooftop of an old school building.
"An elementary school, huh? Schools and hospitals are the best places for curses to spawn."
Hayashizaki formed a hand seal, casting a veil to prevent any noise from leaking out in the middle of the night.
Pushing open the rusty rooftop door, the chains securing it snapped like dry noodles under her small hand.
Breaking public property just like that... isn't that a bit much?
Yukinoshita Haruno felt a little uneasy about Hayashizaki's actions—after all, he was using her body.
"It's fine, this place is abandoned anyway. A little damage won't matter." The black-haired young man brushed it off and activated Yukinoshita Haruno's technique.
"Cursed energy flows fine, so that means..."
The clone clenched a fist, checking the body's condition before turning toward the hallway corner—where an ugly head peeked out.
The next moment, the cursed spirit's head hit the wooden floor, rolled twice, then crumbled into ash.
"The technique works too." Hayashizaki grinned.
The fact that it was compatible with his technique was an unexpected bonus. Even if the power was slightly reduced, it wasn't a big deal to him.
Wait... That grotesque thing was a cursed spirit?
Seeing a curse for the first time, Yukinoshita Haruno felt an unease creeping into her mind. The only reason she didn't physically react was because Hayashizaki was in control. Otherwise, she'd probably be gagging.
"Yeah, a grade-four curse. But this isn't the real threat."
Hayashizaki and his clones continued down the hallway, their footsteps echoing louder in the empty space.
Looking back, the hallway was now packed with clones, lined up neatly like students waiting for roll call. Their numbers far exceeded the twenty clones Yukinoshita Haruno had seen in the restroom earlier.
"With this technique, I feel like I could wipe out all of Tokyo in five minutes." Hayashizaki casually muttered.
Are you some kind of world-ending demon lord?! Yukinoshita Haruno mentally retorted.
"Domain Expansion... Probably not possible." Hayashizaki estimated the limits of Yukinoshita Haruno's technique.
Being compatible with the technique was already impressive enough. If the clones could all expand domains at once, that would be terrifying.
Just imagine—three hundred open 'Malevolent Kitchen' domains descending upon Shinjuku. Two thousand cursed spirits? No, even twenty thousand wouldn't stand a chance.
"But if I don't try it, I won't be able to stop thinking about it." Hayashizaki said as he stopped walking, raised both hands, and formed the Enma Ten mudra.
The clones that looked like Yukinoshita Haruno in the hallway also made the same hand signs, but as expected, they failed. Even Hayashizaki himself couldn't successfully deploy the domain.
He wasn't discouraged, though. He recalled all the clones and used 40% of his cursed energy to create a single clone—this was the limit of how much energy a clone could receive.
Hayashizaki formed the Enma Ten mudra again.
The moment his hands touched, a delighted smile appeared on his face. "Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine."
A blood-red barrier spread from beneath his feet, covering the entire old school building in an instant. Two Buddhist altars rose behind him and his clone.
"The coverage of Malevolent Shrine: has shrunk slightly, but it's still within an acceptable range." Hayashizaki's lips curled slightly. "Then how about this?"
His clone understood him perfectly, and their hand signs changed. "Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden."
The overlapping domains instantly shifted. Shadows spread from beneath the clone's feet, surging like a tide, expanding outward until they completely covered the range of FMalevolent Shrine's domain.
The domain of the Ten Shadow Techniques—under his control, it was also an open-style domain!
Inside the old school building, every single curse was grabbed by a massive, statue-like arm emerging from the shadows. With a slight squeeze, they were crushed into dust.
"The guaranteed-hit effect of a domain... can be stacked." Hayashizaki's grin turned wilder. "Haruno, you really surprised me!"
Don't make that kind of evil villain face while using my appearance! Yukinoshita Haruno was speechless. Also, we're not close enough for you to call me by name, right?
"You're the one who told me to call you that," Hayashizaki explained.
That was my twenty-year-old self. Right now, I'm only fourteen.
"Doesn't matter. You only did that to distinguish yourself from Yukino anyway. Since you don't like it, I'll just call Yukino by name instead." He didn't really care.
No, just keep calling me Haruno. The short-haired girl immediately changed her mind.
"Got it, Haruno." The black-haired young man smoothly adapted.
After retracting the domain and dispelling the clone, Hayashizaki immediately felt that more than half of his cursed energy was drained. A faint sense of unease, something like a lack of firepower, crept into his heart.
"The cost is pretty high. Using two domains at the same time burned through a tenth of my cursed energy just like that." He clicked his tongue.
Now that you're done with your little experiment, hurry up and go back. Yukinoshita Haruno felt an ominous premonition rising within her. After you took control of my body, I couldn't sense my clone at the banquet at all.
"No problem, I'm leaving now."
...
*Gulp, gulp, gulp!*
"Yukinoshita Haruno" grabbed a champagne glass from the silver tray carried by a butler in a formal uniform, tilted her head back, and downed the pale yellow liquid in one go.
"Ha!" She smacked her lips and commented, "Not strong enough."
The butler's eye twitched slightly, but he maintained a professional smile and politely reminded her, "You may head to the bar if you'd like to try something stronger."
"Alright, thanks."
"Yukinoshita Haruno" waved a hand casually, leaving behind a strikingly confident figure.
Watching her head toward the bar, the butler couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Kids from rich families really are different.
The clone, disguised as Yukinoshita Haruno, sat on a high stool at the bar and raised a finger. "One tequila."
The bartender, a young woman, stared at the girl's slightly youthful but strikingly beautiful face for a moment before nodding with a smile and preparing the drink.
Normally, minors wouldn't be served alcohol. But this was a private party hosted by high society, so everything worked a little differently.
Before long, a freshly made tequila was slid in front of Hayashizaki.
After downing it in one gulp, a satisfied look crossed his face. He tapped his fingers on the bar twice.
The bartender poured him another drink.
After downing several glasses, a shocked and angry voice suddenly came from behind Hayashizaki's clone.
"Haruno! What do you think you're doing?"
Thud, thud, thud!

After searching for a long time when she realized her daughter had disappeared, Yukinoshita's mother finally spotted the flushed-faced "Yukinoshita Haruno" sitting at the bar.
"...This is bad."
