Chapter 23 - I Shall Grant You A True Death

Almost every Simurian was dead except those few who were still standing and fighting with all of their strength.

This included Japaloma, Maru, Cross, and Dabura, who was unconscious due to the drainage of his curse energy in another part of the city.

However, this didn't mean that the entire Simurian species was wiped out from Earth—still, more than 45,000 Simurians were alive on their spaceship, which was still floating high in the sky.

This little army of them, which they descended from the spaceship, consisted of the most capable Simurian warriors.

Of course, it couldn't be predicted in advance by humans if they still had any trump card remaining up their sleeve.

Dodo who was killing Simurians a moment ago stopped as he saw no one remaining to kill.

Still, his eyes could vaguely see a man at a distance who seemed like a lost kid to him.

That 'kid' was Cross staring at the two monsters who were fighting fiercely.

"There's my next target," Dodo's corner of lips curled upward as he laughed coldly in his heart. Immediately, he sprinted toward him.

Dodo was quite addicted to raw combat.

In another corner of the battlefield, Mahoraga was raining his fists on Itadori Yuji.

In defence, Yuji was dodging his punches meticulously with effortless movements of his hands.

His face remained calm throughout the battle. Soon, this little warm-up came to an end as he pierced through Mahoraga's body by his blood manipulation— slicing his body into eight pieces.

This wasn't any special attack as Mahoraga had already adapted this and it took him a mere second to heal back.

But Yuji had already vanished from Mahoraga's sight. Suddenly, he sensed something and jerked his face upward to see a net of blood plummeting down at him.

Mahoraga tried to run but it was already too late. The moment the net touched his body, instead of wrapping around, it didn't even change its shape and continued to press down on Mahoraga's body.

Flesh on his body forced its way through tiny openings in the net, forming countless protrusions. It was the same as if you pressed on soft clay with a net.

Mahoraga's whole body turned into hundreds of thousands of small protrusions of flesh.

But Yuji didn't stop here as he knew it was only a matter of time for Mahoraga to adapt to this damage. He clenched his fists hard when dark-crimson cursed energy became visible around his wrist.

"You are a shingami who has no real physical body like humans to undergo death," Yuji said as more and more killing intent continued to release from his body, "but today I shall grant you a true death by erasing your soul from existence."

The crimson flames that were blazing around his fist weren't a normal technique but a soul-damaging art. This one especially was enough to completely erase a soul from existence.

It didn't matter if he gave Mahoraga physical damage or not. His soul-erasing technique could deal with Mahoraga easily, deleting his name and existence completely from the upcoming future eras.

He had created a special kind of combat technique of him in these years. What Yuji showed was nothing compared to his true strength.

But now, he was about to show everyone watching him— what true power meant.

Flames around Yuji's hand burned fiercely when he finally struck his fist into Mahoraga's body.

Instantly, flames devoured Mahoraga whole. Large cracks and tremors ran through the centre of his body into the earth.

The whole battlefield seemed to quiver from the impact.

In a few blinks of an eye, Mahoraga's body dissipated into air, vanishing slowly from existence.

After this, even if someone tries to summon Mahoraga by the ten shadow technique, it would be fruitless as Mahoraga no longer exists.

Yuji watched quietly until Mahoraga's body disintegrated completely into nothingness.

Then, he turned around and swept his gaze all over the battlefield. His eyes quickly pinpointed everyone present there.

"It would be better if I leave them on their own." He muttered before vanishing from sight.

Ronnie had already left the battlefield and was now moving toward Hojo. He had been reported by Usami of the current situations and the fact that both of the Dabura and Hojo were unconscious— and the one who would stand first would decide the outcome of the war.

He had regained his lost stamina and was sprinting toward him at his full speed. If someone were to watch the world through his eyes currently, he would see a 'world of blur' with no sound.

Even sound wasn't able to keep up with his speed.

In just a few moments, he arrived there. His eyes widened as he saw the condition of his surroundings.

'So that explosion happened here,' Ronnie thought as he saw nothing but a cleared plain upto many kilometres. It was a beautiful and unique sight to watch.

Dark clouds and smoke twisted together, blotting out the sky. Bolts of lightning were visible as they tore through the darkness.

After the explosion's sudden surge of heat, the temperature dropped sharply, sending a chill through the body.

Ronnie gazed at the surroundings and quickly found Hojo who was in worse condition as his legs were cut and blood loss was already too much.

He immediately moved there and checked if Hojo was still alive or not. Ronnie heaved a sigh of relief as he was still breathing.

"I have to send him for treatment, or he will die soon."

He quickly lifted his body after sheathing his katana and ran toward Jujutsu Headquarters in panic which had high quality Hospital already.

"Keep the best doctors ready, I'm coming!" He said to one of the employees who was connected to him via a call for an hour.

Soon, he reached the hospital and operation to save his life started. His infinity was temporarily off as Hojo was unconscious, so doctors could treat him.

"I guess he's strongest of them," Yuji said as he stood before Dabura who was still unconscious.
