Sukuna grumbled as he saw what that spark of cursed energy near Megumi was.
Just Mahoraga's finger. Not Mahoraga himself.
Sukuna understood Mahoraga completely now.
He is a Shikigami with a good mind and tactics like a war general.
He wasn't interested in this kind of game. Soon, that brat will wake up.
He wants to enjoy himself before the time comes, not play the long hide and seek game.
At judging by the Dharma wheel on Mahoraga, he must have the patience of Buddha.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
No way! What if the Shikigami is just biding his time for something?
He has seen it stir. What if it is just taking its time to prepare some attack?
"Uruame! Take Megumi away!"
"Yes Sukuna-sama."
Uruame grabbed Megumi, and started getting away from the scene.
Sukuna-sama is going to end this now!
Sukuna waited and waited, and Mahoraga finally appeared before him, taking his long sweet time.
Sukuna didn't waste any time.
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine."
"Fraudkuna."
Mahoraga said, and the Dharma wheel spun, completing a full round.
Despite the slashes in the Domain, Mahoraga wasn't one bit affected. He ignored them completely and moved to fight Sukuna.
"Hahaha! So it's adaptation! Adaptation to any and all phenomena! This is finally becoming interesting!"
Sukuna laughed as he parried Mahoraga's punches.
Mahoraga was grinning as he was getting better and better at fighting in hand to hand combat.
He found an opening, and punched Sukuna away. And the second it got, he destroyed the Shrine in the Domain Expansion with his Sword of Extermination.
Sukuna's domain shattered.
Thus making it so that Sukuna will have to open his domain again to use Malevolent Kitchen.
But Sukuna wasn't worried.
He just laughed.
"Hahaha! Finally!"
This is the first time someone has shattered his domain!
Mahoraga has a similar ability like Yamata no Orochi's cursed technique. But that curse was not smart enough to be able to take away the effectiveness of his Dismantle.
On the other hand, Mahoraga has probably adapted to Dismantle too.
Sukuna wondered about the time Mahoraga will take to adapt to his fighting, but time isn't on his side. Since he has already used Domain Expansion, the brat will soon wake up.
He didn't want to half heartedly use Fuga. This Shikigami is much tougher than Jugo.
So he will not give him the time to adapt.
So, Sukuna opened his second domain.
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Kitchen."
For an area of radius 200m, in the middle of Shibuya, Tokyo, the domain opened again.
As if everything and everyone caught in the previous domain wasn't cut in hundreds of pieces already, now it was time for everything to get burnt.
But for Mahoraga, it just stung a little.
Be it a fire from LPG or Sukuna, a fire is fire, albeit a lot hotter.
Which Mahoraga has almost adapted to.
*Clink*
Which Mahoraga had already adapted to.
"WHAT!?"
To further speed up his adaptation to fire, Mahoraga had taken another binding vow.
In exchange of his previous life's memories except anything related to Jujutsu Kaisen, his adaptation speed and cursed energy will increase by 20 times.
He knew that after the trick he had pulled on Sukuna, Sukuna will try to finish the fight.
He hadn't adapted to fire yet.
And he didn't want to gamble on the hope that he might still be the same Mahoraga even after being summoned again and the adaptation wouldn't reset.
He didn't have anything interesting going on for him in his past life anyway.
So now, he has adapted to Sukuna's techniques completely.
Sukuna cancelled his domain, since it turned out to be useless and was just burning away the time he had.
He wanted to fight more, but suddenly, Yuji took back control.
'Tch.'
It seems like his first domain getting destroyed lowered his time by a lot.
Oh well. He had a good fight. And he has confirmed that Megumi will be his ideal vessel.
On the other hand, Yuji started getting the memories of what Sukuna did when he was controlling his body.
"No..."
Sukuna wasn't the least bit worried about Sukuna's mental breakdown.
He just wanted to keep Megumi safe.
If Mahoraga adapted to his fire, it can't be this quickly. He must have adapted to it beforehand.
But had he adapted to ice?
Uruame will soon arrive now that he has put down the domain. He will tell her to take him down.
But that's a last option. He wanted to fight more. No battle has given him such thrill yet.
"Brat. Switch with me if you want to save Megumi—"
Suddenly, Mahoraga started speaking to Yuji, who was on the ground having a mental breakdown.
"Tell Fraudkuna that I am not interested in battling him again. And I am not interested in killing Megumi, because he is a bum right now.
I will only fight him when he becomes worthy like my last summoner.
Let's kill some curses."
Mahoraga left the scene and ran towards Shibuya station.
Since he took longer in his fight against Sukuna, Mahito might have already killed Nanami and Nobara. And Todo might be fighting him right now.
He doesn't want Nanami and Todo to die. Well, Todo wouldn't really die.
As for being tied to Megumi?
He will simply adapt and become independent. Mahito's cursed technique might even help in that.
Any problem he has, he will simply adapt.
