Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

After Geto Suguru and his companions left.

It was not until the sun began to meet the distant horizon.

Mirai and Mieko Takayanagi were awakened by the gradually cool breeze.

Humans are warm-blooded animals.

A little bit of wind and frost cannot blow away the temperature of life.

Not to mention that Mirai and Mieko Takayanagi are extremely powerful "first-class" and "special-class" sorcerers.

However.

The fact is not so.

Mirai can clearly feel that the body temperature of the person next to him is dissipating at a very strange speed!

He subconsciously clenched the cold palm in his hand, and wanted to raise his hand to brush away the hair covering Mieko Takayanagi's pretty face, but was stopped by her voice.

"Don't..."

Mieko Takayanagi's voice was very flustered and depressed, and even had a hint of pleading.

Mirai's originally comfortable and relaxed mood suddenly turned into panic and anxiety!

He called out in a trembling voice: "Mieko..."

The power of the spell gradually dissipated.

The spell was disintegrating.

The body temperature gradually turned cold.

The breathing was very heavy.

For the first time, Mieko Takayanagi did not respond to the future.

Instead, she took the time to express her feelings.

"When I first saw the future young master, I felt as if I had met a god, and I felt that the future young master would definitely become a very remarkable person in the future."

"So, with selfish intentions, I wanted to rely on your power to get rid of the fate of being my plaything, but I took the initiative to step into another "cage."

Suddenly.

The breath exhaled by Mieko Takayanagi was condensed into mist by the cold air.

The figure of the snow girl appeared on the other side of her without knowing when, looking at her with worried eyes, but she did not dare to reach out and touch her.

"Any technique has its price, and so does 'eternal youth'."

Showing her amazingly white and smooth jade palm to Mirai, Takayanagi Mieko sighed, "Master Mirai, my life span has been halved since the moment I awakened the technique."

"I originally wanted to hold on until you came of age, and then I would completely hand over this body to you."

"But..."

"I can't seem to do it~"

A damp and hot feeling came from Mirai's shoulder.

Those were Takayanagi Mieko's unwilling tears.

"When I first awakened the spell, I was actually a little secretly happy. I had no idea about the 40 to 50 years of life after the halving. I just thought it was very long."

"It's longer than the average lifespan of a magician. Thinking this way, I don't have any psychological burden at all. I can just enjoy the perfect appearance brought by "eternal youth"."

"When I grew up, I realized that under the blessing of the spell, the shelf life of a magician's appearance is far longer than that of ordinary people. I was halved by my own life spell."

"For me, who was taken in by the Zenin family and trained as a non-combatant, "eternal youth" only made me a more beautiful vase, which made me feel very depressed."

"After realizing the finiteness and preciousness of life, I began to fear death and suffered a lot!"

"And after meeting the future master, this sadness and fear became even stronger!"

As she spoke.

Takayanagi Mieko's chest began to rise and fall violently, as if she was breathing so hard that she was almost suffocated!

The "Six Eyes" observed that Takayanagi Mieko's life force had dropped to the freezing point.

The future was full of huge curse power, and he also took out the Shura Summoner.

"No~"

Raising her hand to stop the future from combining with the Shura Armor and infusing curse power and condensing blood crystals, Takayanagi Mieko forced herself to calm her breathing and looked at the future peacefully and gently.

"I know that Master Future can travel back to the past at will and even go back in time for a short time, but he can only watch for only three seconds... There is no point in doing that."

"Those who play with time will eventually be played by time. Miss Shura will not allow armor to tamper with time and space for her own selfish desires."

"Hasn't Master Future tried it many times?"

"Without interfering with the original process of the current time and space, Master Future cut out the time and space before the death of the nine brothers of the cursed fetus, and then obtained the "Red Blood Manipulation Technique" from it."

"This practice..."

"Hasn't Miss Shura been very dissatisfied?"

"..."

Hearing this.

Future was silent.

Takayanagi Mieko was right.

Although the Shura armor has the ability to change the world and control time and space, the conditions are harsh and the strength of the armor summoner's will is extremely high.

Even as strong as Xiaotian in the late stage, who wanted to save his parents Yuzu and make up for his childhood regrets, he only managed to save Yuzu.

Reversing the parentsLife and death are natural laws involving the law of cause and effect. If the will is slightly shaken, the Shura Armor will no longer respond.

Feeling the young man's anxiety, Takayanagi Mieko gently soothed his face and continued: "The miracle of Madam Yukino will not happen again."

"I don't want to become an ugly monster like a non-human. Let me stay like this and sleep beautifully in the arms of the future young master..."

"I don't want to be locked in a "cage" anymore, so - please use your cursed power... before I become ugly... Kill me..."

For the young man.

The request of the mature and beautiful woman was sad and cruel.

For a long time.

The future did not move.

Takayanagi Mieko also gradually lost her breath, lying quietly in his arms, like a beautiful and exquisite doll.

The snow girl worriedly used her freezing air to delay the decay of Takayanagi Mieko's body. She wanted to seal it forever with ice.

But Mirai raised his hand to interrupt the spell, pinched the back of the neck and threw him back into the shadow.

Holding the gradually cold and stiff corpse in his arms, Mirai felt a little strange, because he did not become as hysterical as he imagined.

He should be more sad...

He should be more angry...

He should be more reluctant...

But.

Why?

At this moment, he was...

So calm that he was a little scared.

Suddenly.

A strong shadow appeared in his heart and lingered under his feet.

"It is because life is limited that people fear death and suffer, which leads to sadness and mistakes."

"Then..."

"In order to prevent new sadness and mistakes from happening, just swallow all the time in darkness."

"This is the eternal life that will never be extinguished!"

Holding Takayanagi Mieko's corpse with his right hand, he clenched his fist and pressed it on his waist.

Mirai put his left hand in front of his chest, and bent his ring finger and little finger at the middle section, with the other three fingers slightly erected.

The strongest genius in the history of the world of sorcery, the pinnacle of the "Ten Shadow Method" that no one has ever reached, the resulting arrogance taught him to love:

"Mieko,"

"Stand up!"
