Reggie Star stood calmly beneath the moonlit sky of Tokyo, clad in shadows and dripping cursed energy. His presence distorted the very air, warping the environment like a funhouse mirror of death.
Megumi and Itadori faced him on the cracked pavement, eyes locked onto the mysterious and powerful reincarnated sorcerer.
"So, you're the ones Kenjaku sent my way," Reggie sneered. "Try not to disappoint me too quickly."
The moment shattered.
Reggie moved like a phantom—faster than Itadori anticipated—slamming him hard into the concrete. Yuji coughed blood and tumbled backward, skidding through glass and rubble.
"Dammit—he's strong," Itadori growled, stumbling to his feet.
Megumi was eerily still, his hair rustling in the cursed wind, eyes cold. He clenched his fists, frustrated, then muttered under his breath:
"No time for half-measures."
He slammed his hands together.
Ryoiki Tenkai — Chimera Shadow Garden.
The world twisted into a haunting darkness. Shadows deepened, pools of ink slithered from the ground, and ten shikigami surged into existence around Reggie.
"What the—" Reggie spat, but it was too late.
A furious onslaught of shadow-wrought beasts overwhelmed him. Megumi surged forward with a flurry of precise, brutal attacks. Within seconds, Reggie was brought to his knees—then exorcised entirely.
100 points lit up.
Itadori stared at Megumi, wide-eyed, brushing blood from his chin. "Dude… why do you keep spamming your Ryoiki Tenkai like it's a Pokémon move?"
Megumi slowly turned, his eyes dark, exhausted—but still intense. He gave Itadori a long, piercing death stare.
Yuji raised both hands. "Alright! Alright! No more questions!"
Megumi said nothing.
But his silence was louder than words.
