Dido's plan was to manipulate Gojo's trust, to make him believe that a powerful enemy was coming for him. He would use Gojo's own strength against him, luring him into a trap that would leave him vulnerable to attack.
Dido began to spread rumors, whispering to other sorcerers that a dark and powerful force was gathering on the outskirts of the city. He made sure that the rumors reached Gojo's ears, knowing that his curiosity and confidence would get the better of him.
Gojo, sensing a potential threat, decided to investigate the rumors. He set out towards the outskirts of the city, Althea by his side.
As they approached the designated location, Dido's trap was sprung. A group of powerful sorcerers, manipulated by Dido's lies, ambushed Gojo and Althea.
Gojo, caught off guard, found himself surrounded. But he didn't falter, his instincts and strength kicking in as he prepared to take on the attackers.
Althea stood by his side, her eyes flashing with determination. "We've got this, Gojo."
But Dido was nowhere to be seen, watching from the shadows as his plan unfolded. He knew that Gojo's strength would be his downfall, that his confidence would blind him to the true danger lurking in the shadows.
The battle raged on, Gojo and Althea fighting for their lives. But Dido's trap was only the beginning, a mere spark that would ignite a far greater fire.
Gojo's confidence was at an all-time high ashe faced the group of sorcerers. He cracked his knuckles, a fierce grin spreading across his face.
"Alright, I've got this. You guys can head back."
Althea hesitated, her eyes narrowing. "Gojo, are you sure? We can't just leave you to handle this alone."
Gojo chuckled. "I was born for this, Althea. I'm the strongest, remember? I can take care iof myself."
His allies exchanged uncertain glances, but Gojo's conviction was infectious. They nodded, one by one, and began to fall back.
"We trust you, Gojo," Althea said, her voice firm. "You can do this."
With a final nod, Gojo's allies disappeared into the night, leaving him to face the enemy alone.
Dido watched from the shadows, a mixture of emotions swirling in his chest. He had expected Gojo to be confident, but this was borderline reckless.
"Gojo, you fool," Dido whispered to himself. "You have no idea what's coming for you."
The sorcerers, still under Dido's control, closed in on Gojo. But Gojo didn't flinch, his eyes blazing with determination.
"Bring it on," he said, his voice ringing through the night.
And with that, the battle began.
The sorcerers attacked Gojo with a flurry of spells and incantations, but he dodged and weaved with ease. His Hollow Purple technique glowed brightly as he countered with a devastating blast of energy.
The sorcerers stumbled back, momentarily stunned. Gojo pressed his advantage, unleashing a rapid-fire series of strikes that sent them flying.
But just as he thought he had the
"You're a fool for underestimating me, Gojo," Dido spat. "I've been waiting for this moment for years."
Gojo's grin never wavered. "Bring it on, Dido. I've been waiting for you too."
The two sorcerers clashed in a spectacular display of magic and might. Gojo's Hollow Purple technique met Dido's dark, twisted spells in a shower of sparks and energy.
The battle raged on, neither side giving an inch. But Gojo's confidence was starting to waver. Dido's powers were unlike anything he had ever seen before...
And then, just as Gojo thought he was gaining the upper hand, Dido unleashed his ultimate attack. A dark, swirling vortex that seemed to pull the very fabric of reality apart.
Gojo stumbled back, his eyes wide with shock. "What the...?"
Dido's laughter echoed through the night. "You should have stayed out of this, Gojo. Now, you're going to pay the price."
Dido's eyes gleamed with malevolence as he shook hands with a dark, shadowy figure. The air seemed to grow colder, the very atmosphere thickening with malevolent energy.
"Ah, Gojo," Dido said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for this moment. You see, I've made a little deal with a powerful curse... one that will guarantee your downfall."
The shadowy figure stepped forward, its presence seeming to fill the air with an unspeakable horror. Gojo's eyes widened as he sensed the curse's power.
"No way," Gojo whispered. "You wouldn't dare."
Dido's grin grew wider. "Oh, but I would. And I did. Behold, the Curse of the Devouring Dark!"
The shadowy figure raised its hand, and a dark, swirling energy shot towards Gojo. The curse hit him with the force of a hurricane, threatening to consume him whole.
Gojo stumbled back, his Hollow Purple technique faltering under the curse's onslaught. He felt his strength waning, his very soul being torn apart by the curse's power.
Dido's laughter echoed through the night, triumphant. "You should have stayed out of this, Gojo. Now, you're nothing but a mere mortal, vulnerable to the curse's might."
Gojo's vision began to blur, his consciousness fading. He knew he had to think fast, or risk being consumed by the curse forever...
Gojo's eyes flashed with determination as he fought back against the curse. His Hollow Purple technique surged to new heights, unleashing a maelstrom of purple energy that clashed with the dark magic.
The two forces met in a spectacular display of light and sound, the air shuddering with the impact. Gojo stumbled back, his technique faltering for a moment, but he refused to yield.
With a fierce cry, Gojo launched himself at Dido, his fists flying in a blur of motion. Dido countered with his own dark magic, but Gojo was relentless, his attacks fueled by his determination to protect his friends.
The battle raged on, neither side giving an inch. Gojo's technique was matched by Dido's cunning and power, the two sorcerers exchanging blows in a deadly dance.
But just as it seemed Gojo was gaining the upper hand, Dido unleashed a devastating blast of magic that sent Gojo flying across the room.
Gojo struggled to his feet, his vision blurring. He knew he couldn't keep this up for much longer. Dido's magic was too strong, too relentless.
And then, just as Gojo was about to launch himself at Dido once more, a voice echoed through the room, a voice that made Gojo's heart skip a beat.
"Gojo, wait!"
It was Althea, her eyes shining with a fierce determination. "I've got an idea," she said. "Let me handle this."
