"How arrogant! You insignificant human!"
Torgeng's voice roared across the beach.
The cursed spirit was completely enraged by Yagami Sora's indifferent expression.
Within a Domain Expansion, the caster was the absolute ruler.
Inside Rippling Horizon, Torgeng's technique possessed an unavoidable guaranteed-hit effect.
In its mind, victory was already decided.
Yet this human stood there calmly—without even preparing a defense.
That humiliation was unbearable.
"Surging Army of Death — Maximum Output!"
Boom!
The entire ocean inside the domain began to churn violently.
Waves rose dozens of meters high.
Then—
The sea erupted.
This time the attack wasn't merely hundreds of shikigami.
Nor thousands.
It was an endless swarm.
The sky darkened as countless piranha-like shikigami flooded the battlefield from every direction.
Each one carried the domain's guaranteed-hit property.
There was nowhere to run.
No angle to dodge.
Only death.
"Watch out!"
Megumi Fushiguro shouted hoarsely.
"These attacks are guaranteed hits! Use a Simple Domain!"
Inside a Domain Expansion, ordinary evasion meant nothing.
Unless one used techniques such as Simple Domain or Falling Blossom Emotion, the attack would always connect.
Even if Yagami Sora was strong—
This was still the rule of domains.
But Sora didn't move.
Not even a single step.
He simply watched the incoming swarm.
As if watching a dull fireworks display.
"Guaranteed hit?"
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Cold.
Dismissive.
"So what?"
"Even a guaranteed hit still has to break through my defense."
The first shikigami lunged for his throat.
Its teeth gleamed like blades.
Then—
Whoosh.
A transparent layer formed around Sora's body.
An invisible barrier.
A shield created from perfectly calculated vectors.
"Vector Manipulation — Total Reflection."
BANG!
The shikigami slammed into the barrier.
And instantly exploded.
Reduced to a cloud of blood mist.
The second one arrived.
BANG!
The third.
BANG!
The fourth.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Explosions echoed across the entire domain.
No matter the angle.
No matter the speed.
The moment a shikigami touched Sora's skin—
The vector of its momentum was forcibly reversed.
They were thrown back with overwhelming recoil.
Like insects crashing into an invisible wall.
Even worse—
Sora wasn't merely reflecting the attacks.
He was rewriting their vectors.
"Go back."
His voice was quiet.
Yet absolute.
Like a law of physics being rewritten.
The reflected shikigami suddenly changed direction.
Their momentum doubled.
Then—
They surged back toward their master.
"What?!"
Torgeng's four eyes widened in horror.
Its own technique—
Turning against it?
Inside its own domain?
Impossible.
But it was already happening.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Hundreds of shikigami slammed into Torgeng's body.
Their razor teeth tore into its flesh.
"AAAAAAAH!"
The cursed spirit shrieked.
Its regenerative ability activated instantly.
But even a special-grade curse could not ignore such overwhelming damage.
Its skin split open.
Dark blood poured into the seawater.
"It's not over yet."
Sora raised his hand calmly.
And pointed at the cursed spirit.
"I said I wanted grilled octopus."
"And I never joke about food."
"Thermal Manipulation — Focus."
Even inside a domain—
The environment still obeyed the laws of physics.
As long as molecules moved—
Heat existed.
Sora forcibly extracted thermal energy from the surrounding air.
And compressed it.
Into a single point.
The temperature around Torgeng skyrocketed.
Thousands of degrees.
Meanwhile—
The surrounding air rapidly cooled.
Ice crystals formed across the beach.
Sizzle. Sizzle.
White smoke erupted from the cursed spirit's body.
Its red skin turned black and charred.
A foul burnt odor filled the domain.
"Hot…!"
"Too hot!"
"Help—!"
Torgeng writhed in agony.
It tried to escape.
But Sora's vector lock held it in place.
Its body refused to move.
"Can't handle it?"
Sora appeared in front of the curse instantly.
He stepped down.
His foot crushed the spirit's head into the sand.
His eyes were cold.
Like sharpened blades.
"Weren't you enjoying yourself earlier?"
"You said humans deserve to die."
"You said slaughtering sorcerers was fun."
His voice dropped.
"Now it's my turn."
"Die."
BOOM.
Sora's foot pressed down.
Vector vibrations surged directly into the cursed spirit's brain.
CRACK!
Torgeng's head exploded.
Like a smashed watermelon.
With the death of the special-grade cursed spirit—
The domain collapsed instantly.
The tropical beach shattered like broken glass.
The blue sky disappeared.
The ocean vanished.
The world reverted to the dark, damp subway station.
"Huff…"
Maki Zenin dropped onto the ground.
Breathing heavily.
"Finally…"
"…it's over."
Nearby, Naobito Zenin stared silently at Sora.
His eyes were filled with complicated emotion.
"A Special Grade…"
He murmured quietly.
"Killed that easily…"
In his entire life—
He had never seen such a battle.
This wasn't merely strength.
It was absolute domination.
Naobito looked at the young man standing in the ruins.
The wind gently rustling his clothes.
"…Is this…"
He whispered.
"…the true extent of Yagami Sora's power?"
