"I didn't expect to actually encounter one, a Cursed Spirit of Grade 1 or higher."
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Kento Nanami's forehead as he reached for the equipment Eichi had given them with his left hand.
'Chances of winning... I don't know.'
This was Kento Nanami's first time encountering a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, and he didn't know how it would turn out.
'But with this equipment, self-preservation shouldn't be a problem.'
However, to Kento Nanami's astonished gaze...
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's fist slammed into the ground.
Rumble.
A wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking Yu Haibara's escape route.
"Oh no."
The moment Kento Nanami worried about Yu Haibara, the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit had already launched another attack towards Kento Nanami.
A gigantic, rock-like fist smashed towards Kento Nanami's head.
Kento Nanami only had time to raise his blunt sword horizontally.
Bang.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's fist heavily struck Kento Nanami's blunt sword.
"Nanami!"
Yu Haibara, seeing Kento Nanami get knocked flying, immediately ran towards him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yu Haibara pulled out the revolver from his waist as he ran.
This gun was modeled after the M500 revolver, currently the most powerful handgun in mass production.
This handgun, famous for its large caliber and immense power, was also known as a 'hand cannon'.
This handgun was actually very suitable for Jujutsu Sorcerers, because Cursed Energy could be used to strengthen the body.
Normal people worried about injuring their wrists after firing, but Jujutsu Sorcerers almost never had to worry about such things.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's body was extremely powerful, and the distance between them wasn't far.
So all three of Yu Haibara's bullets hit the Cursed Spirit's body.
"Hehehe."
A sinister laugh echoed again.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit turned its gaze towards Yu Haibara behind it.
Rumble rumble.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit, like a giant stone statue, ran like a mythological giant, exuding immense pressure.
"Nanami, damn it."
Seeing Nanami not far from the Cursed Spirit, Yu Haibara immediately ran towards the mountains.
Yu Haibara wanted to lure the Cursed Spirit deeper into the mountains, leaving the path out of the mountain for Kento Nanami.
Boom, bang bang.
"Hehehe."
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's gigantic fists continuously landed near Yu Haibara.
Under the threat of life and death, Yu Haibara's potential was fully unleashed.
The complex mountain terrain felt like the obstacle course that changed daily during their training.
Each of the Cursed Spirit's blows, enough to severely injure or even kill Yu Haibara, gradually overlapped with Toji Fushiguro's fists, which were so painful he absolutely never wanted to take a second hit.
Bang bang!
Two more bullets hit the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's head.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's sinister laughter now carried a hint of anger.
This little bug jumping around in front of it was extremely annoying.
And every time it was about to catch the little bug, the bug would hit it painfully with a strange stick.
The Utusunagami Cursed Spirit clenched both fists, raised them above its head, and then slammed them heavily onto the ground.
Rumble rumble rumble.
Accompanied by the effect of the Technique, the earth rippled like water under this blow.
The sudden change made Yu Haibara lose his footing and fall to the ground.
A huge shadow completely enveloped Yu Haibara.
Looking up, the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit, with its mouth wide open, was already standing before him.
"Damn it, I'm so scared, but..."
Yu Haibara tremblingly untied the belt at his waist.
There lay his last weapons, the grenades Eichi had left for them, capable of inflicting immense damage on a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.
Yu Haibara, holding three grenades, lunged towards the Cursed Spirit's wide-open mouth.
'Dad, Mom, please, don't let my sister become a Jujutsu Sorcerer, and Nanami, live a long life.'
"Ah ah ah!"
"You idiot! It's not time to give up yet!"
Kento Nanami's roar entered Yu Haibara's ears, instantly blanking the desperate Yu Haibara's mind.
Kento Nanami, gripping his sword with both hands, struck with all his might towards the Cursed Spirit's head.
Pshh.
Ten-Line Cursed Technique: Ratio.
Kento Nanami's Technique could divide a target's length into ten equal parts, then forcibly create a weak point at the 7:3 ratio.
Hitting this weak point would cause massive, critical-hit-like damage.
Kento Nanami's full-power strike successfully deflected the Cursed Spirit's large head.
The critical hit left a wound on the Cursed Spirit's head.
"Listen, Haibara, we're not without a chance. I'll do my best to create an opening for you. You deliver the final blow."
After he finished speaking, a handgun identical to the one Yu Haibara had used earlier, along with grenades, landed in front of Yu Haibara.
"But..."
Yu Haibara was about to retort when he saw Kento Nanami's hand, bound with his clothes.
Although Kento Nanami's blunt sword was wider, its blade length was still a bit short, unable to fully defend against the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's gigantic fists.
At this moment, Kento Nanami's right hand was already somewhat twisted and deformed, with intense pain radiating from his muscles and bones.
His left hand, though not deformed, also throbbed with pain.
In this condition, he was truly unable to wield a sword in combat.
For this reason, Kento Nanami tore his jacket and tightly bound his right hand to the blunt sword.
"My life is in your hands."
Kento Nanami said, then charged towards the enraged Utusunagami Cursed Spirit.
"Le-leave it to me!"
Yu Haibara bit his lip hard, spitting out a few words.
He knew that Kento Nanami, with his injured hand, truly couldn't hold a gun and shoot.
He also knew that Kento Nanami was fighting so desperately for his sake.
Wiping away his tears, Yu Haibara threw away his empty handgun and picked up Kento Nanami's.
With a belt full of grenades in his left hand and the handgun raised in his right.
Yu Haibara's reddened eyes widened, staring intently at every movement of the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit.
At such close range, and considering they often had to avoid their comrades when firing wildly at Gojo Satoru, Yu Haibara was confident he wouldn't hit Kento Nanami.
Bang bang bang!
Head, arms, legs.
The Cursed Spirit's body was much larger than Kento Nanami's, so it wasn't difficult for Yu Haibara to interfere with the Cursed Spirit's movements without accidentally harming Kento Nanami.
Bang!
A bullet hit the Cursed Spirit's lifeless eye.
The Cursed Spirit, its eye injured, instinctively recoiled.
"Hmph!"
Kento Nanami did not miss this opportunity.
Pushing off with his feet, he leapt high into the air, and despite the pain in both hands, Kento Nanami heavily chopped his blunt sword into the Cursed Spirit's other eye.
The Cursed Spirit, in pain, swept its large hand horizontally, instantly knocking Kento Nanami, who was in mid-air, flying.
The sound of shattering bones reached Yu Haibara's ears.
Yu Haibara pulled the pins from the grenades.
There was no roar, no angry shout.
Only a charge filled with resolve.
Six grenades were thrown into the Utusunagami Cursed Spirit's agonizingly howling mouth.
An foreign object suddenly flew into its mouth, and the Cursed Spirit instinctively closed its mouth, then tried to spit the items out.
But before the Cursed Spirit could spit out the grenades, they exploded.
The massive explosion instantly shattered the Cursed Spirit's head, and the powerful force even blew its neck and chest into minced meat.
Yu Haibara dragged Kento Nanami behind a tree and shielded him with his body.
The sound of the explosion ceased, and the Grade 1 Utusunagami Cursed Spirit was successfully exorcised.
