Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Chapter 166 The Sigh of the Mire

The flames died down.

A scorching orange-red liquid gushed from the broken end of the thread, and after trembling a few more times, it permanently lost its luster.

The Earth Demon's body trembled violently.

A huge crack appeared on its rocky body, which was tens of meters high, and stretched all the way to its shoulder.

He did not stop on the first day of the twelfth month; crimson light once again gathered in his hands.

"Snap!"

Another one.

However, the excessive use of the talisman's power made the corruption of Basha's laws even more severe, and the black ice climbed back onto his shoulders.

He gritted his teeth and fired his third shot.

The third one, the fourth one...

Each time a thread was severed, the Earth Demon's body trembled, but puzzlingly, he never made any large-scale attacks.

The earth spirit's deep breathing came through, sounding like the wind blowing from the depths of a cave.

On the first day of December, his right arm was almost completely numb.

The continuous output of Dragon Flame repeatedly disrupted the balance within his body. The damage Basha inflicted on him was actually hidden in the final "gift".

But he had no other choice.

Because he saw that in the deepest part, there were three extremely thick threads, wider than the sum of the threads he had just seen.

Core connectivity.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he adjusted his breathing, firmly planted his left foot on the shadow bridge, and gathered strength in his right arm.

Dragon flames re-condensed in his palm, their crimson light illuminating the surrounding rock walls in a fiery red.

"Boom!" The dragon flame struck the connecting thread again.

Suddenly, a very short, strange laugh came from somewhere.

December 1st paused for a moment, looked around, and finally looked at the Earthly King in front of him.

Just as he was about to unleash his next dragon flame, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the shadowy bridge beneath his feet changed.

The bridge surface, which was still holding up just a second ago, became soft under his feet, as if he had stepped into a patch of mud.

The first day of December sank directly into the ground.

What?

The entire Shadow Bridge is undergoing the same change. The once-tight structure is collapsing, turning into a muddy substance.

They are no longer the shadows of Fushiguro Megumi, or rather, they have been altered by some force.

"Hui!" he called out.

A muffled groan, suppressed by Fushiguro Megumi, came from afar.

"It wasn't me, the shadow was..."

'

Before he could finish speaking, he was swallowed up by a huge darkness.

On the first day of the twelfth month, it turned its head back to face the Earth God.

Those two crater-like eye sockets were looking down at him from above, and the flow of magma in their eyes had clearly accelerated.

That's the Earthly King accelerating the operation of the laws.

At the same time, a low-frequency vibration emanated from deep within its chest cavity, sounding like stones rubbing against each other.

The swamp principle.

On the first day of December, he instantly understood. He remembered the scene in the forest and the sticky soil.

The Earth Demon utilizes its assimilation ability, making the Shadow Bridge essentially a suspended "ground".

"Saku!" Itadori's voice came from afar, clearly wanting to come and help.

"Don't come any closer!" the first day of the twelfth month shouted sternly.

He saw it; the black swamp was spreading.

Starting from the section beneath his feet, the Shadow Bridge was being "infected" at a visible speed, the change spreading like a plague along the bridge's surface.

No matter who comes, they will be trapped.

The mud had reached his waist, and the lava was about to touch his feet.

I can't move.

On the first day of December, his legs were completely trapped in the swamp. The suction was like a giant hand, squeezing his entire lower body in a fist and then pulling him down into the lava.

His upper body was still outside, but he continued to sink every second.

He wanted to mobilize the power of shadow within his body, but at this moment, that power was being suppressed by Basha's water law.

Just then, the light above his head dimmed.

On the first day of the twelfth month, I raised my head.

The Earth Demon, which had been motionless, was now having its left arm slam down from mid-air.

The giant hand made of dark red rock blocked his entire field of vision.

The warmth of his palm burned the surrounding air into distorted heat waves as it fell, instantly drying out the air in front of him, and a strange sense of suffocation enveloped his entire body.

He can't even turn around now.

He only had one arm left to move.

On the first day of December, his pupils suddenly contracted.

At the last moment before the giant hand fell, his right hand abandoned its attack, and his palm suddenly flipped upwards.

【dog】

A dark golden light exploded beneath his skin, and a shield condensed above his right palm.

"boom!!"

The entire space trembled at that moment.

The Earth Demon's left palm, carrying the weight of an entire mountain, slammed into the golden shield that was only an arm's width wide.

The shockwave spread outwards from the center of the new moon, blasting a shallow crater in the surrounding mud and sending scalding debris flying everywhere.

The arms of the new December 1st uttered a teeth-grinding crunch.

Although the shield didn't shatter, he was forced down into the mud, and the shadow mud instantly covered his chest. His legs were now encased in lava.

The immense force traveled along his right arm to his entire body, as if his internal organs had been squeezed from the inside out, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Click."

The first crack appeared on the surface of the shield.

Di Kui continued to increase his strength, using his own mass and the power of the laws to pour all his weight into this palm.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the shield.

Vision began to blur on the first day of December.

He could hear Gojo Satoru shouting something, and he could hear Kugizaki's sharp voice, but those voices seemed both far away and very close.

The mud had reached up to his neck.

The cracks on the shield are getting denser.

The Earth-Shattering Demon added another bit of force.

"Click."

The golden shield finally shattered.

At the same moment the fragments bounced outwards, the remaining palm force pierced through December's defenses and slammed heavily onto his body.

His vision went white.

This was followed by brief deafness, then excruciating pain—his right arm had completely exploded, but due to [the cow]

With the blessing of the talisman, and the arm still hanging on the shoulder, he looked like popcorn.

On the verge of losing consciousness, he vaguely felt his body leave the swamp.

The force of Di Kui's palm strike was so great that it uprooted him from the swamp, sending him flying like a cannonball towards the rock wall.

The wind whistled in my ears.

"Boom!"

On the first day of December, the rock slammed heavily against the rock wall, sending rubble flying from all directions and dust covering the entire area.

His body was embedded in the rock wall, with his arms hanging at his sides.

His clothes were torn from his shoulders to his waist, revealing large areas of bruised and purple skin.

The black ice on his body was spreading wildly at several times the speed it had been before.

"Shuo!"

On the first day of December, he opened his mouth.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth down his chin onto the gravel, making a soft "plop" sound.
