The brave Simmel wants to resign

On the edge of the battlefield, a few more figures remained.

The bloated figure clutching his shoulder as if injured, the burly brown-skinned man constantly comforting him beside him, and the potato-sized half-cursed spirit.

[After Wan and Shen'er left, Zhang Xiang, Xue Tu, and Huai Xiang—all three were products of the Nine Phases Diagram, a top-grade cursed artifact.]

[And surprisingly, after they appeared, they did not pursue Itajō.]

Instead... they collectively followed Rime's orders and launched a surprise attack on Fushiguro Megumi.

With Fushiguro Megumi's skills, he could have managed to hold his own.

But Rime pretended that she was also going to chase after Itajō, which made Fushiguro Megumi panic and try to catch up with Rime—but at that moment, he was hit in a vital spot by Rime's counterattack.

Then, like a mad dog, Rime unleashed all her magical power.

time....

Now we've arrived at the present.

"call--"

After fighting with complete disregard for his own safety and capturing Fushiguro Megumi in the shortest possible time, what echoed in Rime's mind was—

It is everything that I saw at 'that time'.

[Rimee glared angrily, intending to give chase.]

But suddenly—

【————】

He seemed to have seen something.

He abruptly stopped, his eyes wide with surprise.

As Itari ran away, Rime instinctively wanted to give chase, but in that instant—she saw Sukuna's mouth appear beside Itari's face.

As mentioned before, Sukuna can occasionally escape Itajō's control, but at most she can only talk and bother Itajō.

But at that time...

Su Nuo didn't say it aloud, but instead conveyed the message to Ri Mei through lip reading.

Don't chase after them.

So, Rime, who should have been able to catch up, hit the brakes.

The tacit understanding she shared with Sukuna a thousand years ago made Rime almost instinctively know what she should do.

He handed a finger to Wan. Because of Su Nuo's curse power, neither Wan nor Shen Er noticed anything unusual, and the two were moved to another battlefield.

He himself would stay behind to deal with Fu Hei.

(Lord Sukuna said not to pursue him.)

(So, I'm left here. There are only two things I can use here.)

[Fushiguro Megumi] and [Kusakabe]

Rime knew almost instantly who Sukuna-sama's target was.

But what exactly makes Fushiguro Megumi so special?

No, we should think about it the other way around—

What kind of talent would it take to pique Sukuna's interest?

The answer is obvious.

"I never expected that you would have such a special constitution with such tolerance... I really misjudged you." Rime's voice was cold, but the tremor at the end of his tone still betrayed his excitement.

[Tolerability]

Becoming a vessel for Sukuna's finger is definitely not a simple matter.

[Having absorbed a thousand-year curse as a top-grade cursed artifact, Su Nuo's finger is so potent that even he himself cannot damage it; only those with extremely special constitutions can withstand its toxicity.]

It's absolutely impossible to just find a sorcerer on the street and have your flesh penetrated; there's probably only one in ten million.

[And Fushiguro Megumi is that person.]

Sukuna sensed the outside world within Itachi's body, which is why he gave the order to Rime.

Why is it that Wan is specifically focused on Fushiguro Megumi's older sister, Tsumiki?

Su Nuo knew about the Yang Huan Xiu > Nai Lu Mo, and he was very worried about it.

However, it has been a long-standing friendship.

His actions must have a deeper meaning.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

Realizing this, Sukuna began to observe and discovered Fushiguro Megumi's uniqueness.

Suppressing his inner impulse, he instructed Rimei to carry out the diversionary tactic.

Man is the strongest present, while Itadori is Sukuna's open target.

—Everyone lacked the information that Sukuna had about Fushiguro Megumi.

therefore.....

(I vaguely sensed it during the battle... As Sukuna's loyal follower, why would Rime let Man chase after Itajit with his finger?)

(But even after using all my strength, I still couldn't defeat him... Rime is much stronger than I imagined. Kusakabe-sensei is helpless against this kind of area-of-effect attack.)

(To make matters worse, that guy called Zhang Xiang also showed up, along with two companions who appeared out of nowhere. Hei Mu couldn't stop them at all.)

(Damn it, what should I do?)

He gasped for breath, using his incantation to strengthen his internal organs to resist the cold and keep himself thinking.

But no matter how much Fukuro thought about it, Rime forcibly pried open his mouth, and then—

All seven fingers were stuffed into Fu Hei's mouth.

The next moment—

【——————————】

A powerful surge of energy bursts forth from within the body, penetrating every pore.

Fu Hei gritted his teeth in pain, and black lines began to appear on his body.

Rime dispersed the ice and took two steps back.

They even started to kneel down.

at last.

The King of Curses, Su Nuo, will once again gain... freedom.

(Sorry... Itadori.)

We had clearly made an agreement.

But it seems I can't keep that rule...

Fu Hei was still experiencing violent shocks to his consciousness.

(Don't faint....)

He clenched his teeth tightly, the excruciating pain shooting through his entire body, and blood trickling from between his teeth.

(Think quickly....)

Although he stands out among the monsters, in all fairness, Fushiguro Megumi is indeed a very talented person.

Willing to fight for the justice they define, and able to think and respond in most difficult situations.

As long as the important person, Tsumiki, who is his pillar of support, is still alive, he can continue to strive.

Therefore, he did not choose to give up.

(Tsumiki will definitely be alright.)

(Given Itadori's personality, he'll definitely bring back reinforcements.)

(More importantly... the two teachers are on their way... were we the ones who fell into the trap?)

(As long as we stall, we'll definitely win. That's the case!!!)

"Bruyub tribe!!"

[Rime! Stop him!]

With a soft "plop," Su Nuo's mouth appeared on Fu Hei's face, and he shouted sharply.

Rime immediately abandoned the ritual and rushed towards Fuhei.

But at this last moment, a shadow leaped out from beneath Fu Hei's feet.

"roar!!!------"

The wounded Jade Dog roared and pounced on Li Mei, biting her arm tightly.

Even though the enraged Rime, realizing what had happened, tore him apart with her bare hands, that fleeting moment was enough for the boy to make a decision...

He made that gesture that he was incredibly skilled at.

make a fist.

One on one.

"Yura Yura."

【————————Ding.】

It was as if a being from outer space slowly extended his palm toward the earth.

Slender fingers brushed across the boy's face, while a large palm blocked out the light... The whole world was accompanied by the click of the lights being switched off...

Enveloped in the shadows.

In a completely black world.
