Megumi and co ran towards the edge of the curse crab carapace. By now the curse had half stood. Megumi turned back to look at his comrades.
"Jump" he shouted and took the plunge. The rest followed. By the time they had reached a safe distance the curse had fully woken up. It was an enormous crab with gigantic pincer, though its eyes were comparatively smaller.
Instinctively, the curse attack Dabura with his massive pincers, as he possesses the highest curse energy then. But Dabura dodged it just at the neck of time. But the others were scattered around by the impact.
The curse now turned to Hami who was injured and laid helpless on the ground. But a sudden attack caught it off guard. Sanso had released a powerful blood drill aiming at the joint of one of its leg. With one leg broken, the curse fell to its left side. Encouraged Sanso closed the distance and aimed a much powerful blood drill at its mouth. But this time the curse counterattacked. It spits a jet of boiling water from its mouth. The blood drill instantly got dissolved on getting hit and the jet raced towards Sanso. He barely managed to avoid it. A trail of steam covered the path of the jet.
Dabura felt that they were in a bind and prepared himself to end it at once. He joined both his hands into a cup shape and gathered energy for an all out energy beam. But before he could activate the technique, Megumi grabbed his hand. Dabura turned as if to questioned him.
"Don't do any flashy moves. If the authority detects energy signals, we would have to face them too. I have a plan to exorcise this curse" Megumi said.
He summoned a swarm of rabbits. The rabbits continued to multiply and started encircling the curse. In a few seconds, a gigantic wall of encircling bunnies had trapped the curse inside. The collective curse energy of the rabbit wall obscured the presence of the other sorcerers.
The curse prepared to unleashed another boiling water jet to break the wall. Suddenly it could sense a faint curse energy. Its eyes rolled upwards, as Megumi free falled. The curse only could sense the energy from the soul slashing katana, while Megumi curse energy was nearly non existent. The Katana pierce the carapace and entered into some depth. The curse stood motionlessly for some minutes and slowly started decaying apart.
[Since Megumi was possessed by Sukuna, he was able to look into his soul. But he could not use this ability whenever he wanted. The condition to see the world of soul was that Megumi had to have so little curse energy as if it were non-existent. This proved a problem for many years, but over time the studies of curse energy dynamics that had flourished after Sukuna defeat helped him immensely. To achieve it, Megumi switched his body cells to metabolise the curse energy when needed. Not only does it minimize the curse energy within the body but give a temporary boost to all physical capabilities. He could perform the process at reverse, expending biological energy in exchange for curse energy. Though the transaction is not always efficient.
This allowed him to master the soul slashing katana]
