A thousand years ago, during the golden age of the Jujutsu World, there was a Curse User named Ryomen Sukuna who was invincible in the world. He had two faces and four arms. Although he had the appearance of a demon god, he was a real person, and others called him the "King of Curses."
At the time of his death, he applied a special secret art and Binding Vow to his 20 fingers across his four arms, allowing them to carry his soul and Cursed Energy from a thousand years ago to the present.
The amount of Cursed Energy carried by a single finger was enough to give birth to a Special Grade Cursed Spirit if swallowed by a Cursed Spirit. And the Special Grade Cursed Spirit in front of Chinatsu harbored one of Sukuna's Fingers.
"This Cursed Spirit should have originally been a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and on top of that, it swallowed one of Sukuna's Fingers. Although this Cursed Spirit in front of me hasn't reached the level of a future Disaster Cursed Spirit, it has also surpassed the lowest tier of Special Grade."
Chinatsu analyzed calmly. To be honest, this situation made her both love and hate it.
She loved that the Cursed Spirit's power far exceeded her expectations; not only was it a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, but it also harbored one of Sukuna's Fingers, making it very valuable to conquer.
She hated that with such strength, if she couldn't break through her limits, the possibility of failure was not just a little high.
And just as Chinatsu was analyzing the situation in her mind, the beast-like Cursed Spirit tensed its four legs, pushed off the ground, extended its sharp, bloody claws, and ferociously charged towards Chinatsu.
In response, Chinatsu no longer used "Blue" from a distance. Instead, she wrapped "Blue" around her fists and, facing the oncoming Cursed Spirit, swiftly threw a punch.
Bang!!!
Chinatsu's fist struck the Cursed Spirit's cheek. Under the amplified power of "Blue," it was like a speeding truck passing by; the Cursed Spirit's already hideous face instantly became distorted, and it was sent flying.
After rolling several times on the ground, the Cursed Spirit stopped, and the damage on its face regenerated and recovered at a visible speed.
Watching this scene, Chinatsu's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit helpless.
This is truly... not enough output!!!
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chinatsu even saw disdain and even mockery on the face of this beast-like Cursed Spirit.
Cursed Spirit: Is... is that all?
Chinatsu took a deep breath, her hands clenched, and "Blue" wrapped around both of her fists.
One has insufficient output but maxed-out defense.
The other has no output at all but is incredibly tanky.
In the narrow space of the abandoned mine, Chinatsu engaged in fierce close combat with this Cursed Spirit, knocking it down again and again, only for it to quickly get back up.
This repeated endlessly, and Chinatsu's face was almost twisted into a Cursed Spirit's, while her originally calm heart was stirred by waves and tsunamis.
Even though it was always the Cursed Spirit being sent flying, seeing it immediately get back up after she exerted all her effort made Chinatsu feel like she was punching cotton, which was truly frustrating.
Just as Chinatsu, in a fit of anger, was about to release ten consecutive "Blue" attacks to fight this Cursed Spirit to the death, a sudden wave of dizziness surged over her, causing her body to freeze.
And in that brief moment of discomfort, Chinatsu was almost struck by the charging Cursed Spirit's claw. She decisively activated a short-distance teleportation, creating distance between herself and the Cursed Spirit.
She raised her hand to rub her head, her eyes trembling slightly as she frequently gasped for breath.
The Rikugan / Six Eyes grants Jujutsu Sorcerers extremely precise Cursed Energy manipulation abilities, allowing them to minimize Cursed Energy waste to the greatest extent. Coupled with the fact that Cursed Energy recovers little by little over time, theoretically, Six Eyes Sorcerers should never run out of Cursed Energy.
The trade-off, however, is mental fatigue.
Chinatsu exhaled, her expression grave, while the look in her eyes regained its calm.
In fact, she could choose to escape. Continuously using short-distance teleportation, completely ignoring this unkillable pest and leaving the abandoned mine, would be no problem at all.
However, Chinatsu did not want to escape.
Although she could run now, she would face many more difficult situations in the future. If there was an option to run now, would there be one in the future too?
Currently, she was only facing a Special Grade Cursed Spirit that couldn't use a Domain Expansion. If she chose to run because of such a setback, then in the future, when experiencing various things, she would instinctively lean towards thinking in that direction.
Chinatsu maintained a rhythmic breathing cycle, striving to concentrate her mind, reaching for that brief moment of extreme calm... Faced with Chinatsu's sudden immobility, the Cursed Spirit in front of her tilted its head in confusion. At first, it thought Chinatsu was setting a trap to lure it in, but the next moment, it cast aside its initial thought.
It has intelligence, but not much.
The beast-like Cursed Spirit raised its head and let out a series of eerie roars. Originally formless Cursed Energy visibly swelled and surged out from its body.
With this strike, it would decide the outcome!
Bang!!!
The beast Cursed Spirit pushed off the ground with its four legs and charged towards Chinatsu once again, its speed like a black meteor.
Chinatsu, on the other hand, remained motionless, as if resigned to fate, waiting for death.
Of course, that was not the case.
In the Jujutsu World, there is a very peculiar phenomenon: when the time difference between Cursed Energy output and physical impact is less than 0.000001 seconds, a distortion in space-time occurs at the point of impact.
This phenomenon causes a massive increase in the power of the strike, typically 2.5 times the normal power.
Such a multiplier is terrifying, and precisely because of this, no one in the Jujutsu World can actively trigger this peculiar phenomenon.
However, if it can be achieved, within the space distorted by the clash of Cursed Energy and physical force, a lightning-like black light will flash forth.
Just as the beast Cursed Spirit's outstretched claws were about to touch Chinatsu, Chinatsu's already clenched fist tightened even further, and her azure eyes glowed brilliantly.
Whoosh!
Chinatsu aimed a punch at the face of the approaching beast Cursed Spirit. Unlike the usual impact of simply applying "Blue," in that instant, streaks of dark yet dazzling lightning flashed out.
[Black Flash]!!!
Under the dazzling black lightning, Chinatsu's fist did not send the Cursed Spirit flying, because in that brief moment, it had already shattered the Cursed Spirit into pieces.
The Sukuna's Finger, which had resided within the Cursed Spirit's body and could not be digested, flew out and fell to the ground at Chinatsu's feet.
The abandoned mine returned to silence...
