"Wow, this is getting ridiculous," Yuji muttered to himself as he watched the scene unfold before him, not realizing that an excited-looking mouth had somehow appeared on his face.
For Abel, the Dark Breathing Technique derived from his curse-tool dagger (Slaughter Demon) had perfectly demonstrated its lethal effect on cursed spirits.
During the recent onslaught of endless dark sword energy, the special-grade cursed spirit's rapid self-healing had slowed significantly until it could no longer keep up with the destruction of its body.
After all, even though it could draw infinite cursed energy from the fingers of the special-grade cursed object: Sukuna, it still required time.
That external power was not its own strength.
And that slight difference in time meant the difference between life and death.
"Hey, if you don't start moving, this thing is going to regenerate again."
Having been beaten to such a state, it was difficult for Abel to deal with it alone, so he called over Yuji, who had been idling by.
Itadori finally snapped out of it and rushed over, not minding the disgust, he began searching among the remaining flesh for something.
At last, he found it.
It was a finger, dry like a mummy's, belonging to the special-grade cursed object: Sukuna.
Sukuna, who had four arms, was the strongest sorcerer from a millennium ago, and after his death, his 20 fingers became special-grade cursed objects with indestructible properties.
It was because Itadori had once consumed one of Sukuna's fingers that he possessed cursed energy, but at the same time, he also became the vessel for Sukuna's resurrection.
"Phew, it's finally over. I wonder how Megumi is doing, if he managed to rescue Nobara."
Itadori stared absent-mindedly at the finger of Sukuna.
With the removal of the special-grade cursed spirit, the twisted space also returned to normal, transforming back into the appearance of the dormitory's second floor.
Then Abel saw Itadori suddenly tilt his neck back and toss the disgusting dried-up finger directly into his mouth, swallowing it with a gulp.
"Hm?"
Abel was only taken aback for a moment before striking at him with his sword.
"Have you already noticed? Your perceptive ability is really keen."
'Itadori' grinned, leaped backward to avoid the blade, and at the same time increased the distance between them.
The 'Itadori' at that moment appeared drastically different from before.
Not only had black patterns appeared on his face, but another pair of smaller eyes had opened beneath his own eyes.
But what changed even more was the aura of his body—that air of absolute supremacy was nothing like the original Itadori.
So, the answer was clear.
The consciousness of Sukuna inside Itadori's body was taking over now.
Although it was unknown what prompted the awakening of Sukuna after the special-grade cursed spirit was removed, there was no doubt that the situation had become exceptionally thorny.
Not all special-grade cursed spirits were created equal—with varying levels of strength and weakness.
The special-grade cursed spirit that had just been pulled out was barely at the threshold of special-grade status.
Sukuna, called a special-grade cursed spirit, was so because there was nothing beyond special-grade for him!
It's like a top student scoring 150 points—not because that was the limit of their power, but because the test itself capped at 150 points.
Therefore, Abel would rather fight three more mediocre special-grade cursed spirits like the one before than have a showdown with this king of curses.The most important thing was that this guy wasn't part of the content of the Wish-Granter's Order and had occupied the body of Yuji.
Defeating him would bring no benefit; worse, it might prevent the completion of optional content.
Losing would be even more frustrating.
"It's been a long time since I've met a human as interesting as you. You have no trace of cursed energy, yet you managed to kill a Special Grade Curse Spirit with only your excellent perception and a cursed weapon knife. Even though it was a half-baked, incompetent Curse Spirit that couldn't even perform 'Simple Techniques,' you should be proud."
Sukuna, taking control of Itadori's body, said with a smile filled with malevolence.
"What a nuisance. Do you also wish to be torn to pieces by me?"
Abel, ever the unyielding type, would never fold no matter the circumstances. He always maintained the toughest stance!
"If you think you can do it, then give it a try."
Unbeknownst to them, Itadori's severed left hand had already healed back to normal.
Clearly, with Sukuna controlling the body, it could freely use cursed energy to recover from any injury.
"Aren't you coming? Then—"
Boom!
With just a slight bend of the knees, Sukuna shattered the ground beneath him and instantly closed the distance to Abel with an unparalleled force.
In that moment, Abel could clearly see the smile on the assailant's face.
It was a smile of sheer delight upon finding its prey!
"This guy..."
Abel squinted, not daring to be careless.
Dodging the incoming attack with his Observation Haki while his hand, wielding the knife, swung upward in a counter-strike.
However, Sukuna effortlessly dodged the potentially lethal slice with a supple movement, then twisted his body to deliver a heavy whip-like kick.
Abel had no choice but to block the blow with his left arm to his temple and discreetly aimed his knife at the adversary.
But he had underestimated the strength of Sukuna after consuming another finger!
The wild impact sent Abel flying.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After tumbling through countless walls, Abel was kicked straight outside of the juvenile detention center.
At that moment Megumi happened to be rescuing Nobara.
Looking up, they saw a figure sweeping across the sky, followed by another figure laughing maniacally in pursuit.
The two exchanged glances, realizing the gravity of the situation, and hurried to follow.
But Nobara collapsed to the ground after a few steps, overtaken by exhaustion.
"Don't worry about me, go!" she said.
"Alright, be careful. I've already notified Ijichi," replied Megumi, who could now safely leave Nobara to chase after Itadori, as the threat in that area had diminished.
Meanwhile, Abel and Sukuna had moved from the juvenile detention center to a nearby park, still engaging in battle.
Both sides had gauged each other's strength during an initial probing attack.
And now, Sukuna was even more thrilled!
"Wonderful, truly wonderful! As a mere human, to have trained your body to such formidable levels, I'm willing to call you the foremost under the sorcerers!"
"No, even most sorcerers might not match up to you."
"Come on, let me see your limit. Don't get boring too soon, human named Abel!"
Abel exhaled calmly, then his eyes sharpened with intensity!
