Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Fushiguro Megumi draped her arm over Junpei's shoulder, putting most of her weight on him.

He tried his best to hold on, but struggling only made Shunping more tired.

"Retrieve the finger first."

Fushiguro gave up and obediently leaned against him, raising her hand slightly to point to the place where the cursed spirit had dissipated.

"Okay, don't move," Shunping nodded.

Yodotsuki's tentacles extended from Shunpei's shoulder, rummaging through the rubble before wrapping around Sukuna's fingers.

Then its tentacles retracted, gently placing Sukuna's fingers on Shunping's hand.

After Shunpei put it away, he closed his eyes and sensed the cursed power of Kugizaki and Itajō.

Both streams of magical power are in the north, not too far apart, so they should have converged.

There were also two unfamiliar magical forces, facing off against each other, seemingly without any battle yet.

"We found them." Junpei opened his eyes and straightened Fushiguro Megumi's arm again. "Fushiguro-kun, are you alright?"

"Hmm...it's alright..."

Fushiguro Megumi's voice was very weak. The exhaustion from possessing and the severe blood loss from his injuries had left him somewhat conscious.

The things in front of me began to blur, and Shunping's voice seemed to come from afar, and I couldn't hear it unless I listened carefully.

In a daze, memories of Tsumiki flooded my mind.

He's clearly just a pushover, and he doesn't need to worry about himself.

He's already spoken so rudely to her, she should just let it go.

But she wouldn't have it; she always smiled and said beautiful things, even affirming my true nature.

But she fell into a deep sleep after that day.

He never stopped regretting it, never stopped missing it.

"Wake up... you silly older sister..."

Shunpei felt the weight on his shoulders increase. He turned his head and saw that Fukuro Megumi had closed her eyes and was breathing relatively calmly, but she had already fallen into a coma.

"Ugh."

Shunping sighed as he felt the depletion of his magical power within his body.

He placed Fushiguro Keihei on the ground, took off his own coat, folded it twice, and placed it under the back of Fushiguro Keihei's head.

Then he sat down next to it, leaning against a broken tree trunk, looking in the direction from which he had sensed the curse power.

"Going there now would only be a hindrance, so it's up to you two, Kugizaki and Yuujin."

……

Sensing the barrier disappear, a powerful aura rose from afar, and the villain stopped talking.

He looked in the direction from which the aura was coming and stroked his chin.

Is this aura caused by Sukuna's fingers?

Since the cursed spirit that swallowed the finger was exorcised, it must have been a sorcerer of extraordinary strength.

But even if we win, we can't be completely unscathed, this is an opportunity.

Thinking of this, the wicked man revealed a playful smile, and he was about to snatch Su Nuo's fingers away.

"It's been a pleasure talking to you, Miss." He backed away in the direction he was pointing, his eyes still on Kugizaki, and smiled very politely. "Excuse me for being rude, I'll take my leave now."

Kugizaki, of course, wouldn't let him get away so easily. She quickly pulled out the nail and threw it forcefully.

The nail, enveloped in magical power, hurtled straight toward the villain's forehead with a whooshing sound, forcing him to slow down and block it.

It was during this moment of slowing down that Kugizaki quickly caught up and engaged him in combat.

"Are you underestimating me by running away like that?"

Kugizaki grinned, revealing a maniacal smile, and swung his hammer down hard: "Don't think you can shake me off like that!"

He crossed his arms to block the hammer, and the impact pushed him back half a step.

He shook his wrist, which had gone numb from the shock, and the smile returned to his face.

"That's a misunderstanding. I just have an inferiority complex about my back."

He smiled slightly, his words and actions displaying great gentlemanly manners.

Although his attire might seem a bit eccentric, he is indeed a gentleman.

At the very least, he's a perverted gentleman!

And he doesn't dress like this because of personal preference; it's just because he feels uncomfortable being stuffy.

But none of that mattered; the bad look stopped, and he straightened up.

"This is a warning, miss." The wicked man looked into Kugizaki's eyes and said seriously, "If you see my back, I will kill you."

But right after he said that, the unexpected happened.

A crack appeared in the space behind the villain, and before the spatial fluctuations had completely subsided, Xue Tu jumped out from it.

Tiger Stick followed closely behind, breaking a dead branch as his foot landed.

"Click."

The sound attracted the attention of the evil spirit and Kugizaki, and their eyes were focused on Itajitari.

But when Tiger Staff and Blood Paint saw someone they recognized, they instinctively called out.

"Ah, brother." "Ah, Kugizaki."

Once they had steadied themselves, they realized that something seemed amiss with the scene before them.

Before him stood a surprised Kugizaki and a muscular man dressed in revealing clothing.

A distorted and grotesque human face grew on his back, glaring angrily at the two of them. Xue Tu and Hu Zhang froze on the spot.

Once his back was exposed, the composure of a gentleman with a bad reputation vanished completely.

His face was contorted even more grotesquely than the face on his back, with veins bulging on his forehead.

He whirled around and yelled at them, "You saw that?!"

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!!" Blood splattered on his face, cold sweat pouring down his back, his hands flailing wildly in front of his chest.

"Huh? Who are you? I feel really sorry for you?"

Tiger Rod looked at the furious, wicked man and the panicked bloodstains, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"I'll kill you!"

The villain turned around and roared; he was furious.

But his anger caused him to ignore Kugizaki's existence.

Kugisaki seized the moment when the villain turned around, and instantly rushed forward, raising her hammer high, ready to unleash a flurry of blows on him.

"Tsk!" The sound of wind breaking came from behind, and he had to forcefully pull back his body that was rushing towards Itadori.

He turned around and used both hands to parry, barely managing to withstand Kugizaki's attack.

"If you don't want to be seen, why are you dressed like this?"

Kugizaki put the hammer back, slightly increased the distance, and reorganized his stance.

"Of course, it's because it's comfortable to wear like this!"

Bad Look explained in a serious tone, at which point he no longer cared that he had been seen from behind.

Because he decided to kill them all.

Apart from his younger brother.

"Come here, smear with blood."

Hearing his brother's words, Xue Tu trembled. He quickly jumped to the side of Huai Xiang and grinned at Hu Zhang and Kugisaki.

"There's nothing you can do, just lie down and wait to die!" The villain struck a strange pose, stretching out his body.

Countless drops of black blood seeped from the face behind him, slowly coalescing in the air into a pair of hollowed-out wings.
