Fushiguro Megumi pulled Itadori Yuji up, and said, "His entire lower body is gone, if we move him, he might die directly, give up."
"But he's still alive! As long as we bandage the wound, there's definitely a chance that he can live."
The kind-hearted Itadori Yuji didn't want to give up on anyone, pushed Fushiguro Megumi away, and quickly went forward to bandage him with his clothes. He comforted him, "It's okay, we'll save you, hold… on…"
"Stop deceiving yourself, Itadori! He's already dead!"
"..."
Itadori Yuji stopped bandaging his hands, looking at the man who had died right before his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes, he regretted coming so late, maybe he could have saved him if he had come earlier. He said, "I'm going to take him out."
"That's impossible, we have to hurry up and find the other person." Fushiguro Megumi refused.
Itadori was a newbie, but he wasn't, the mission was the priority. And the cursed spirit they were facing this time was a Special Grade, if they didn't hurry up and look for him, they wouldn't be far from death.
The mission that should have been participated in by Gojo-sensei, Yuuki-senpai, and others with the strength of a Grade 1 sorcerer or higher was now being done by them, first-years, which wasn't reasonable in itself.
"But!"
"Stop arguing, what will we do if we attract the cursed spirit?"
Just as Itadori was about to say something, he was stopped by Himura Tama.
She didn't feel safe at all being around these people, the team wasn't united. And they always liked to argue, it was fine to argue usually, but they were arguing even during the mission, she might as well stay by Yuuki-senpai's side.
Just as she was about to continue saying something, Kugisaki Nobara's exclamation came from behind, "What the hell?!"
The three looked over, the space under Kugisaki Nobara's feet was like a black swamp, sinking her into it, and then disappearing.
"What the hell!?"
Fushiguro Megumi, who reacted the fastest, sensed that he had suddenly lost contact with the White Divine Dog, and also realized that this was the work of that Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit, and shouted at the two, "Run quickly!!"
As a huge sense of oppression swept over, the three people in the field stood rooted to the spot in an instant, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end. Without knowing when, a cursed spirit with a human upper body and a chrysalis-like lower body appeared in the middle of the three.
The two pairs of eyes seemed to be curious, and didn't choose to attack immediately.
"Gulp…"
Himura Tama, who was standing behind the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit, swallowed, this was the second time she had felt the pressure from a Special Grade, the last time was Ryomen Sukuna, who was fighting Yuuki-senpai.
She also knew the gap between her and them, she wanted to escape, but her legs wouldn't listen to her, as if she would die if she moved.
"Itadori, this is…"
She glanced at Itadori Yuji's waist, and his trembling left hand was slowly gripping the hilt of the sword, as if he was about to attack, she was surprised in her heart, "Is this person an idiot? He actually still wants to attack!"
"Uwaaaaa!!!"
Itadori Yuji gripped the 『Slaughter Demon』 that Gojo-sensei had given him and swung it over.
"Tch! If I die, I die!!"
Seeing that Itadori had attacked, Himura Tama immediately activated her technique. Blue cursed energy covered her hand, and she slapped it towards the back of the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit's head.
"Swoosh—"
Itadori Yuji's attack missed, and his swinging left hand was cut off by the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit in an instant, along with the 『Slaughter Demon』!
"I got it!"
Himura Tama's left hand slapped the back of the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit's head, leaving a star mark on it, this was her inherent technique 『Star Imprint Manipulation』.
The principle of the technique was also extremely simple, after touching the enemy, it would leave a star mark, and then there were three choices.
1. Make it explode directly from the inside after three seconds.
2. Leave it to disrupt the flow of cursed energy in the other person's body, the disruption time would depend on the difference in strength between the two.
3. Enslave it.
At this moment, to buy time to escape, and Itadori Yuji's severed hand could be treated by Yuuki-senpai. Himura Tama chose to make the technique explode from the inside, although the difference in strength was too great, it could always delay him for a few seconds.
"3, 2…"
Before the time could reach one, the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit slapped the ant behind him.
"Boom!!!"
"Cough!!"
Himura Tama was slapped into the wall by this palm, and her blocking arms broke directly. She said with a hazy consciousness, "I was… ambushed, run quickly, Megumi…, Itadori…"
The Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit's head also exploded, but it was just a scratch, and nothing happened, but this scratch instead completely enraged him.
"Jijijiji!!!"
Vast golden cursed energy spewed out from his body, as if he was going to kill these guys!!
"Tama!!"
Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi looked at Himura Tama, who had fainted on the wall, her arms were drooping, and were bleeding at this moment, blood was overflowing from her forehead, she would die if she wasn't treated in time!!
"Fushiguro! Take Tama and Kugisaki and leave here quickly!" Itadori Yuji shouted.
"But!"
Before Fushiguro Megumi could finish speaking, the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit suddenly appeared in front of him, and swung his right fist!
"Buzz!!!"
The golden cursed energy barrier instantly blasted Fushiguro Megumi away.
Then he clenched his left fist, the muscles on his left arm bulged, and golden cursed energy covered it, and he slammed it towards Itadori Yuji, who hadn't reacted yet!
"Boom!!!"
The two crashed into the wall instantly, the difference in strength between them was really too great.
"Cough cough cough!"
Itadori Yuji spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the cursed spirit in the field showing off his strength. He said, "Hey, Sukuna, if I die, you'll die too, why don't you help me?"
"Help you?"
Ryomen Sukuna's mouth opened at the corner of Itadori Yuji's mouth, and said mockingly, "Hehehe, what makes you think you're worthy? Even if I die inside your body. I still have 18 soul clones, I don't care about the strength of a mere one or two fingers. Just die like this, you weak and incompetent brat."
"Tch, you were easily defeated by Yuuki-senpai."
Knowing that he wasn't willing to help him, Itadori got up slowly, and used a belt to tie his severed left hand tightly, he would use his life to buy time. Tama, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, they were all very kind people, they couldn't die here…
"...That brat."
Ryomen Sukuna thought for a moment and changed his tune, "Alright, I'll switch with you, that brat called Yuuki should also be on his way here. I'll kill him when that happens!"
"Tch!"
Itadori Yuji moved and shouted, "Fushiguro! If you can still move, take Tama and Kugisaki and leave quickly! And then send me a signal, I'll let Ryomen Sukuna out at that time, don't worry about me!!"
"Eat this punch!!"
After shouting, Itadori charged towards the Special Grade cursed spirit in the field, with only his right hand remaining.
"Itadori…"
Fushiguro Megumi, who was lying on the ground, also knew that this was the only way, crossed his hands, and summoned 『Nue』. Two sharp claws dragged him and Himura Tama away directly, to find Kugisaki Nobara, who he didn't know had been sent where.
"Haaah!!"
Before Itadori Yuji could swing his right fist, he was blasted away directly by the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit!
The golden cursed energy barrier was like a shock wave.
"Boom!!"
Itadori Yuji crashed into the wall again, and spat out a mouthful of blood, and then got up slowly. He couldn't fall down at this moment, he had to hold on for a while longer.
But…
It really hurt so much!
His body hurt like hell every time he moved, and his left hand was also severed. He was really too weak, so weak that he was vulnerable, he really wanted to become stronger…
"Thud—"
A pair of bare feet appeared in Itadori's vision, he slowly raised his head and looked over, seeing the chrysalis skin in the Special Grade cursed spirit's hand, and said with a bitter smile, "Your legs are pretty strong, huh, did you work out?"
"Jijijiji!!"
The Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit's right hand was covered with golden cursed energy, and he swung it out towards the human who was looking down.
"Boom!!!"
The golden shock wave swallowed Itadori instantly, and the wall behind him collapsed instantly. Itadori Yuji, who had lost consciousness, fell to the ground, and like a memory before death, the figure of his deceased grandfather appeared in his mind.
He said, "This is not a place for you to come to yet, you have to protect others, Yuuji."
"Grand…father…."
The dream dissipated, and Itadori Yuji woke up instantly. Just as he raised his head, he was stepped on the head by the Special Grade cursed spirit, the ground shattered, and he fainted again instantly.
Grandfather looked at his grandson, who had come over again, with a speechless expression on his face.
Itadori Yuji scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's not like I wanted to come over here."
"Get lost!"
"Okay, goodbye, Grandfather."
The dream dissipated. Itadori Yuji grabbed the Special Grade cursed spirit's foot, and said, "You'll get stupid if you keep stepping on my head!"
The Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit looked down at the ant who hadn't died yet, and his four eyes were filled with confusion, he had never met a human who was so resistant to beatings.
Then golden cursed energy covered his right hand, and he swung it out directly towards the human who was looking down.
"Boom!!!"
"Cough!!"
The ground cracked, and Itadori Yuji, who was in unbearable pain, shouted, as if he was relieving the pain in his body, "I don't want to die yet! But I'll hold you back, I'll turn this fear, hatred, and regret into cursed energy and hold you back tightly!!"
...
"Divine Dogs, hurry!"
