"Just a small fry!"
"Just a Sukuna!"
The two stared at each other, trading insults. Sukuna, who had stood undefeated a thousand years ago, found that he had encountered an opponent capable of matching him in this exchange of verbal jabs.
Furthermore, Sukuna realized he couldn't see through the woman before him at all; he had no idea what she was thinking.
From sending his fingers into unreachable space at the very start, to slapping herself before the fight had even begun, and now casually trading insults with him.
"Interesting."
Sukuna was utterly fascinated by Chinatsu, an interest that surpassed every sight he had witnessed a thousand years ago, given that the small fries he could easily mince into paste were never worthy of his attention.
He stomped his foot onto the ground. As the earth cracked and countless debris flew up, Sukuna once again charged toward Chinatsu at an astonishing speed.
Seeing this, Chinatsu immediately imbued her right fist with "Blue" and rapidly struck forward. However, just as Chinatsu's fist was about to connect with Sukuna's face, he braked mid-movement with astonishing agility, pivoted, and appeared behind her.
"So fast."
Chinatsu slightly furrowed her brow. She didn't believe such speed was generated purely by his physical body; it must be an effect derived from one of the two Cursed Tools he held.
Sukuna, who had flashed behind Chinatsu, grinned and swept the trident named "Hiten" horizontally, attempting to slice Chinatsu in half at the waist.
*Swoosh!!!*
Sukuna's incomparably sharp horizontal sweep missed. He raised his head and looked up, only to see Chinatsu suspended in mid-air. This time, it was her turn to look down upon Sukuna.
Sukuna, who was used to only looking down on others, was now being looked down upon. Feeling Chinatsu's cold, condescending gaze, Sukuna's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Just relying on petty tricks."
Sukuna gathered his strength and leaped upward, instantly soaring from the ground to Chinatsu's altitude. Although he should have descended due to gravity, he ultimately remained suspended in mid-air.
He held two Cursed Tools in his four arms.
The first, Kamutoke.
The effects of this Cursed Tool are highly profound. A thousand years ago, Sukuna used its subtle effects to slaughter a large number of unsuspecting Jujutsu Sorcerers.
The second, Hiten.
This Cursed Tool grants Sukuna the ability to move at high speeds and soar freely in the sky, maximizing his compensation for any deficiencies in mobility.
Of course.
Flying into the sky is acceptable.
Flying into space, however, is not.
Sukuna, holding the two Cursed Tools, tilted his head slightly and stared intently at Chinatsu, who, in turn, frowned slightly under his gaze.
She did not fear Sukuna, but she had to be wary of the special abilities possessed by the two Cursed Tools he held. Since the manga had not yet reached that point when she reincarnated, she could only rely on analysis and conjecture regarding the abilities of these two Cursed Tools in Sukuna's possession.
While Chinatsu was deep in thought, Sukuna raised one of his hands high, lifting the Cursed Tool named "Kamutoke" above his head.
"Lightning."
Instantly, the sky became overcast, and a vertical bolt of lightning plummeted down onto Chinatsu, as if a thunderous channel had appeared, connecting the sky and the ground.
Due to the interference of Limitless Defense, this earth-shattering thunder strike seemed like a showy but impractical performance. Sukuna stood motionless as Chinatsu was struck, quietly enjoying the spectacle.
"Limitless Defense. No matter how many times I see it, it astounds me. Do you know how many people were killed by my lightning a thousand years ago... Forget it, I can't even recall. To use the vernacular of your era, would you care how many slices of bread you eat on a normal day?"
Sukuna, smiling, used a modern idiom to express his attitude. Although he was a figure from a thousand years ago, after incarnating and possessing a body, he was able to acquire all the knowledge within the host's brain.
This era is marvelous, truly excellent.
Sukuna was currently brimming with fighting spirit. After savoring Chinatsu, this delicious feast, he would continue searching for other targets that could hold his interest and help him pass the time.
Before that, he must fully savor Chinatsu!
Floating in the air, Sukuna once again challenged Chinatsu to close-quarters combat. To bypass Limitless Defense, he was forced to employ "Domain Amplification." Yet, even with this, conventional attacks outside of physical engagement were still incapable of penetrating Limitless Defense.
However, Sukuna was extremely confident in close-quarters combat, and he had noticed Chinatsu's lack of confidence in it, as she was constantly avoiding a direct confrontation with him.
Sukuna rapidly closed in on Chinatsu, his four fists aggressively striking toward her. Although Chinatsu did not possess four arms, the insight provided by the Rikugan / Six Eyes compensated for some of the disparity.
Just as Chinatsu was preparing to meticulously evade Sukuna's strikes, the nature of the Cursed Energy surrounding Sukuna's body changed in her line of sight.
Cursed Techniques are numerous in type.
Cursed Energy is the same way.
For example, Kashimo Hajime's Cursed Energy leans toward an electrical state, and when he punches with it wrapped around his body, it causes the enemy to feel unusual pain and numbness.
Under normal circumstances, the attribute of Cursed Energy, like an Innate Technique, is innate and cannot be altered later in life.
But this is not absolute.
The profound ability of the "Kamutoke" in Sukuna's hand is not merely the release of lightning. If it were only that simple—just adding one more attack method—Sukuna wouldn't bother using it, especially since his slashing attacks are far superior in output.
The true effect of "Kamutoke" is the arbitrary modification of Cursed Energy attributes. The ability to release lightning is merely an illusion created when Sukuna actively releases Cursed Energy after the Cursed Tool changes his attribute to lightning affinity.
At this moment, the nature of Sukuna's Cursed Energy changed. The originally ominous, deep, and oppressive Cursed Energy transformed into a razor-sharp nature, like that of a cutting tool.
In Chinatsu's eyes, what was sharply approaching her were not fists at all, but four incomparably sharp rasping blades.
Even though Chinatsu reacted in time, she was still unable to avoid being scratched by the rasp-like attack, which left a moderate cut on her cheek. Her entire body quickly retreated and returned to the ground.
Chinatsu reached out and gently touched the wound on her cheek. Reverse Cursed Technique activated there, healing the injury in the blink of an eye.
Sukuna also took the opportunity to descend from the air, deliberately or unintentionally tilting his head slightly to look down at Chinatsu.
"To be honest, you disappoint me somewhat. Although, by the standards of ordinary mortals, you are already quite good."
Sukuna proceeded to evaluate Chinatsu to himself. Chinatsu paid no mind to this, instead feeling internally relieved that she had roughly deduced the effect of Sukuna's Cursed Tool.
She reassumed her battle stance, wrapping "Blue" around both hands, preparing to enter the second round of combat.
