Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

The Shibuya S Tower, rooftop ruins.

wow-

The water had soaked Maki's cheeks, and it was icy cold.

That was the water from the water tank that had just been smashed, now mixed with dust from the rooftop and Maki's own blood, making it murky and turbid.

Maki lay in the pool of water, her breathing intermittent.

Two ribs were probably broken, my right arm was completely numb, and my vision was blurred due to blood congestion.

Shen Er raised the Youyun staff, and the three-section staff drew a deadly arc in the air, whistling as it tore through the air, heading straight for Maki's head.

A fatal blow.

If it were the old Maki, she would have widened her eyes, trying to see the trajectory of the stick, and then used her muscles to withstand it.

But in that instant.

Maki did something that defied common sense.

She closed her eyes.

Since your eyes can't keep up, then don't bother.

Since the retina can be deceived by light and water vapor, let's turn it off.

The world was plunged into darkness.

In the instant darkness descends, other senses are amplified infinitely.

Hearing.

It's no longer just the sound of wind, but the sound of wind being cut by objects.

Touch.

It's no longer just cold, but rather changes in air pressure caused by air movement.

Sense of smell.

The smell of rust, the smell of cement, and the pure "texture" emanating from that man.

"So that's how it is..."

"So this is the level the boss was talking about."

Maki's lips curled up slightly in the darkness.

She remembered what Lynn had once said.

He said, "You're like a primitive man with a gun. You only know how to use it to crack walnuts, and you can't unleash the true power of the Heavenly Curse."

Now, she feels it.

Air is a fluid with density.

The ground is the medium through which vibrations are transmitted.

In this world made of matter, although Fuheshel has no magical power, he possesses mass, volume, and speed.

This is enough.

As long as it exists, it will displace air, vibrate the ground, and change the temperature.

"There."

0.01 seconds before Yuuki was about to shatter Maki's skull.

Maki's head turned slightly to the left by about five centimeters.

boom!!

Yu Yun slammed into the puddle near Maki's ear, creating a wave several meters high.

The concrete was smashed into a large crater, and flying debris cut Maki's cheek.

But that fatal blow missed.

"?!"

For the first time, a slight pause appeared on Shen Er's previously expressionless face.

Instinct told him that this strike would surely hit.

But the opponent was like a light, floating leaf, drifting away naturally with the wind generated by his punch.

Maki opened her eyes.

At that moment, the world changed in her eyes.

No longer a blurry night and puddles.

She saw the flow of air, the minute contractions of Shen'er's muscles, and the afterimages left by the drifting clouds.

It's like seeing the "skeleton" of the world.

"Is this...the scenery you see?"

Maki slowly stood up from the pool, and her aura underwent a dramatic change.

No longer a restless beast, but a tranquil abyss.

He let out a low growl, not understanding what was happening, but his killing instinct drove him to attack again.

With a flick of his wrist, Youyun swept across like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

This time, Maki did not back down.

She looked at the rod, which was strong enough to break steel, and lightly shifted her feet.

She stepped into the "blind spot" of Shen'er's attack.

That's the point where air resistance is greatest and the exertion of force is least smooth.

Snapped.

Maki sidestepped into the inner circle, and in a flash, her right hand precisely grabbed the middle section of Yuyun.

"This thing..."

Maki's fingers clenched like iron clamps, her eyes coldly fixed on Shen, who was standing inches away.

"-It was mine to begin with!"

Shen Er tried to pull his weapon back, but found that it wouldn't budge this time.

The two forces collided on the clouds, and the terrifying kinetic energy caused the air to explode.

"Drink!"

Maki is no longer simply competing in strength.

She took advantage of the three-section nature of the cloud, suddenly spinning her body and crashing her back into Shen'er's arms. At the same time, using the lever principle, she slammed one end of the cloud hard into Shen'er's chin.

boom!

A muffled thud.

Shen'er's head was hit so hard that it snapped back, and he staggered back two steps.

Although this damage was nothing to the Heavenly Tyrant, it was Maki's first truly effective counterattack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Maki kicked Shinji in the knee joint, used the force to jump back, and forcefully took back control of Yuyun from Shinji's hands.

wow-

Maki landed in the middle of the puddle, and the red nunchucks danced in her hands, creating a perfect barrier.

At this moment, she was soaking wet and covered in blood, but her eyes shone with a terrifying light.

……

S-Tower, 18 floors.

Lynn was currently cleaning up the cyborgs layer by layer.

They walked upstairs.

"Oh?"

Lynn, who had been nonchalant, now looked at the screen with her eyes shining.

He looked at the girl on the screen whose aura had completely transformed and smiled with satisfaction.

"Boss, the Cursed Spirits have started their operation."

"At the current pace, Mr. Nanami and his group will encounter Tagore soon."

Suddenly, the sound of the mechanical ball came through the headphones.

Lynn paused, pondering for a moment.

There shouldn't be any major problems with Maki, since if she really can't win, she still has "that one move".

However, with Fuhei around on the Tuogen side, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lynn thought about it for a moment, but ultimately decided to continue moving upwards.

Maki is an important asset of mine, so I have to prioritize protecting her.

……

The top of Shibuya S Tower.

Even after regaining his footing, a more ferocious glint seemed to ignite in his turbid eyes, as if he had encountered the evolution of his own kind.

He didn't need to think; every cell in his body yearned to tear apart the formidable enemy before him.

"roar--!!"

Then he disappeared from the spot again.

But this time, Maki didn't panic.

She didn't even turn around; she simply thrust the Youyun sword in her hand backward.

"when!!"

Before the echo of the metal clashing had faded, Maki used the reaction force from the block behind her to spring up like a fully drawn bow.

The red nunchaku exploded in a chilling red light in the rain.

Instead of turning and sweeping horizontally, it directly and smoothly lifts upwards and backwards.

This strike defied the limits of ergonomics, yet perfectly followed the flow of mechanics.

Just as Shen'er's figure was about to appear in mid-air, Youyun's staff tip, wrapped in cursed power, attacked like a leech.

Bang!

Even in mid-air, he forcibly twisted his body and crossed his arms to protect his face.

The heavy impact was like a muffled thunderclap; the body of the Heavenly Tyrant was slammed from mid-air by this blow, landing hard on its feet.

In an instant, the rooftop's waterproof layer ruptured, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions.

"bring it on."

Maki's lips curled into a wild smile, a smile of confidence that came from finally overcoming a great obstacle.

"Round two begins."
