Chapter 139: I Don't Want to Die!
"Swoosh—"
Yuji Itadori's attack missed. The left hand he had swung out was instantly severed by the Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit, along with the 'Slaughter Demon'!
"Got you!"
Kurosaki Tama's left hand slapped the back of the Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit's head, leaving a star-shaped mark on it. This was her innate cursed technique, 'Star-Stay Manipulation.'
The principle of the technique was also extremely simple. After touching an enemy, it leaves a star-shaped mark, and then there are three choices.
Make it explode directly from the inside after three seconds.
Leave a disruption to the flow of cursed energy in the target's body; the duration of the disruption is determined by the power gap between the two.
Enslave.
Right now, she needed to buy time to escape. Yuji Itadori's severed hand could be healed by senior Tatsuro. Kurosaki Tama chose to make the technique explode from the inside. Although the power gap was too large, it could still stall for a few seconds.
"3, 2..."
Before the time reached one, the Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit swatted at the ant-like creature behind it.
Thump!!
"Cough!"
Kurosaki Tama was slammed into the wall by this palm strike, her blocking arms directly breaking. Her consciousness faded as she said, "I was... sneak-attacked... run quickly, Megumi..., Itadori..."
The Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit's head also exploded, but it was merely a surface wound, nothing serious. However, this minor scrape completely enraged it.
"Jee-jee-jee!!"
Immense golden cursed energy erupted from its body, as if it were about to slaughter these fellows!
"Tama!"
Yuji Itadori and Fushiguro Megumi looked at the unconscious Kurosaki Tama on the wall. Her arms hung limply, now seeping blood, and blood was also overflowing from her forehead. If she didn't receive medical treatment in time, she would die!
"Fushiguro! Quickly take Tama and Kugisaki and get out of here!" Yuji Itadori shouted.
"But!"
Before Fushiguro Megumi could finish speaking, the Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit suddenly appeared in front of him, its right fist swinging out!
"Voom!"
A golden cursed energy barrier instantly sent Fushiguro Megumi flying.
Then, its left hand clenched into a fist, its left arm muscles bulging, covered in golden cursed energy, and it punched at Yuji Itadori, who hadn't yet reacted!
Thump!!
The two of them instantly crashed into the wall. The power gap between them was simply too vast.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yuji Itadori spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the cursed spirit in the field, which was showing off its own strength. He said, "Hey, Sukuna! If I die, you'll die too. Aren't you going to help me?"
"Help you?"
Ryomen Sukuna's mouth opened on Yuji Itadori's cheek, mocking, "Hehehe, you think you're worthy? Even if I die in your body, I still have 18 other soul fragments. I don't care at all about the strength of one or two fingers. Just go and die like this, you weak and incompetent brat."
"Tch, you were easily beaten by senior Tatsuro."
Itadori, learning that he was unwilling to help, slowly stood up. He used his belt to tightly tourniquet his severed left arm. He had to use his own life to stall for time. Tama, Fushiguro, Kugisaki – they were all very kind people; they couldn't die here...
"...That brat."
Ryomen Sukuna pondered for a moment, then changed his tune, "Alright, I'll swap when I want to. That brat named Tatsuro should be on his way. When he gets here, I will kill him!"
"Tch!"
Yuji Itadori moved and shouted, "Fushiguro! If you can still move, take Tama and Kugisaki and leave quickly! Then give me a signal! I'll let Ryomen Sukuna out then! Don't worry about me!"
"Take this punch!"
After shouting, Itadori charged at the Special Grade Cursed Spirit in the field with his one remaining right hand.
"Itadori..."
Fushiguro Megumi, collapsed on the ground, also knew this was the only way. He crossed his hands and summoned 'Nue.' Two sharp talons grabbed him and Kurosaki Tama, leaving directly to find Nobara Kugisaki, who had been sent to who knows where.
"Hah!"
Yuji Itadori's right fist hadn't even been thrown when he was sent flying by the Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit!
A golden cursed energy barrier was like a shockwave.
Thump!
Yuji Itadori, crashing into the wall again, spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly stood up. He couldn't fall yet, at least he had to hold on for a while longer.
But...
It really hurt so much!
Every movement of his body was excruciatingly painful, and his left hand was severed. He was so weak, so pathetically weak. He wanted to become stronger...
Clatter—
A pair of bare feet appeared in Itadori's vision. He slowly raised his head and looked up, seeing the pupa-like casing on the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's lower body. He said with a wry smile, "Your legs are pretty sturdy. Do you work out?"
"Jee-ya!"
The Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit's right fist was covered in golden cursed energy, and it swung at the still-not-dead ant.
Thump!!
The golden shockwave instantly engulfed Itadori, and the wall behind him instantly collapsed. The unconscious Yuji Itadori fell to the ground. Like a memory before death, the figure of his deceased grandfather appeared in his mind.
He said, "This is not a place you should have come to yet. You must protect others, Itadori."
"Grand... pa..."
The dream dissipated, and Yuji Itadori instantly regained consciousness. He had just lifted his head when he was stomped on the head by the Special Grade Cursed Spirit. The ground cracked, and he instantly fainted again.
His grandfather looked at his grandson, who had come over again, his face full of speechlessness.
Yuji Itadori scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's not like I wanted to come here."
"Scram!"
"Okay, goodbye, Grandpa."
The dream dissipated. Yuji Itadori's right hand grabbed the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's foot, and he said, "If you keep stepping on my head, I'll become stupid!"
The Special Grade Hypothetical Cursed Spirit looked down at the ant that was still not dead. Its four eyes were filled with incomprehension; it was the first time it had met such a resilient human.
Golden cursed energy then covered its right hand, and it swung at the human below.
Thump!!
"Cough!"
The ground cracked. Yuji Itadori, in unbearable pain, shouted, as if to alleviate the pain in his body, "I don't want to die! But I will hold you here to the death! I'll turn this fear, resentment, and regret into cursed energy and hold you down with my life!"
...
"Divine Dogs, hurry!"
Fushiguro Megumi, in 'Nue's' talons, shouted, turning his head to look at the still-unconscious Kurosaki Tama. He was on the verge of a breakdown. He had enrolled a year earlier than them, yet he was still so weak.
He couldn't even fight back against a Special Grade Cursed Spirit. If only Brother Tatsuro were here...
'Nue' followed behind the Black Dog, flying quickly through the narrow corridors. Soon, they reached the place where Nobara Kugisaki was.
Seeing Kugisaki about to be eaten, the Black Dog killed the cursed spirit with one bite. Nue snatched Nobara Kugisaki from the air and quickly departed, fleeing towards the exit.
"Don't grab me by my clothes! I'm afraid of heights!" Nobara Kugisaki shouted, looking at Fushiguro Megumi with a resentful gaze, as if complaining he had arrived too late.
"I'm really sorry. We need to leave quickly now."
...
Outside the school.
Tatsuro, having arrived at top speed, suddenly appeared in front of Kiyotaka Ijichi. Looking at the school within the Curtain, he asked, "Which school building is the Special Grade Cursed Spirit in?"
"The second dormitory," Kiyotaka Ijichi quickly said, seeing Tatsuro had arrived.
"Got it."
Tatsuro acknowledged and then vanished from the spot, charging directly into the Curtain.
