The Three Death Painting Womb Brothers Are Defeated; Makima's Words of Power / Seele: Please, My Other Self!

However, in the next second, a bloated figure charged over from the distance at incredible speed and slammed headfirst into Miwa Kasumi before she could dodge. It was Kechizu, the last of the three Cursed Spirits present.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the girl was sent flying, and the katana in her hand finally gave out under the strain, shattering completely.

"Not good!"

Seeing this from the air, Nishimiya Momo ignored the pain of her pierced shoulder and immediately controlled the broom beneath her to dive rapidly, intending to catch Miwa Kasumi below.

But before the girl could fully reach her companion, an overwhelming sense of danger suddenly swept through her body.

Choso, who had been manipulating blood from afar, had somehow leaped up beside Nishimiya Momo. His fist, brimming with immense power, struck her squarely.

Boom!

A blast of air swept outward as Nishimiya Momo plummeted from the sky at high speed, crashing brutally into the ground.

"Stay here obediently and give up resisting. It'll be better for all of us."

After landing, Choso spoke expressionlessly to the two girls lying before him. Eso and Kechizu stepped forward behind him as well.

As curses born through Cursed Womb Incarnation, Choso, Eso, and Kechizu did not harbor any hatred toward humans. The reason they had aided the plan to create a world belonging to curses was simply because they believed it would be more beneficial to the three brothers.

Therefore, unlike disaster Cursed Spirits such as Leaking Pot and Mahito, the three curses were not particularly hostile toward humans, though they did not care much about them either. They would show no mercy when it was time to kill, but if their opponents obediently cooperated, the brothers did not mind sparing their lives.

"We're completely outclassed. Why would curses of this level appear here...?"

Forcing themselves up from the ground, Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo leaned against each other and barely managed to stand.

Yet, as they looked at the three Special Grade Cursed Spirits standing opposite them, waves of despair rose in their hearts.

The gap in strength between the two sides was simply too great. This was not a situation they could handle at all. Perhaps only a Special Grade sorcerer could deal with it.

When would Jujutsu High School's reinforcements arrive? Could they really hold on until then?

Who... could possibly come save them?

As if they had heard the girls' pleas, Choso, Eso, and Kechizu, standing before them, suddenly froze as a chill ran through their hearts.

"Th-this feeling..."

It felt as though something dangerous was approaching!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Accompanied by sharp whistles through the air, three Golden Chains shot toward the three curses from afar at incredible speed.

"Watch out!"

A bone-chilling cold spread through their bodies. Sensing that they absolutely could not let the Golden Chains touch them, Choso, Eso, and Kechizu hurriedly dodged.

Fortunately, though the chains were extremely fast, they had been launched from too far away, leaving enough time to react. Both Choso and Eso successfully avoided the attack, but Kechizu, the weakest of them, was a step too slow and was tightly bound by a Golden Chain.

In an instant, Kechizu's presence rapidly weakened. His bloated body visibly withered under the chains' restraints, and his legs gave out, causing him to collapse directly onto the ground.

"B-big brothers!"

An unprecedented weakness spread through Kechizu's body, leaving him only able to lie on the ground and weakly call out to his two brothers for help.

"Kechizu!"

Choso and Eso cried out anxiously, but Kechizu could no longer respond.

Bound by the Golden Chains, Kechizu, who possessed strength comparable to a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, lasted less than a few seconds before losing consciousness.

"Damn it, who are you?!"

The Golden Chains slowly dissipated. Choso and Eso looked toward the forest in the direction the chains had come from, only to see a figure slowly approaching from afar.

"Lady Makima!"

Seeing the approaching figure, the two girls who had been barely supporting themselves cried out in delighted surprise.

PS: The second chapter will probably be updated around 5–7 PM.

Cursed Womb Death Paintings' Three Brothers Defeated, Makima's Command

"Lady Makima!"

Seeing the figure approaching from afar, the two girls supporting each other in order to stand cried out in delighted surprise.

In response, Makima, who had arrived at the battlefield, nodded at them with a reassuring smile on her lips.

"It seems neither of you encountered any accidents. I'm glad."

However, before either side could continue speaking, Choso looked at Makima with rage-filled eyes.

"So it was you. You dared to hurt my brother!"

Blood Manipulation: Hundred Binding: Piercing Blood!

Driven by the desire to avenge his brother, Choso did not hesitate to unleash the strongest attack he could currently use.

Blood compressed by cursed energy to beyond the speed of sound shot out like an arrow, aimed directly at Makima in the distance.

At the same time, Eso spread his blood wings to their limit and attacked the enemy before him alongside his brother.

Corpse Rot Technique: Extreme Art: Wing King!

Countless streams of highly corrosive blood descended upon Makima from all directions, sealing off every possible route of escape.

Yet Makima showed no panic whatsoever. Several Golden Chains circled around her, effortlessly blocking every attack.

Whether it was the highly corrosive blood or the lightning-fast Piercing Blood, both became extraordinarily fragile before the Golden Chains around Makima, shattering the instant they made contact.

"So this is her technique?"

Seeing that neither his nor his brother's attacks had produced any effect, Choso's expression visibly darkened.

It was not only extremely fast, but also highly flexible, and it seemed to possess terrifying suppressive power.

Kechizu had lost consciousness after touching the chains for only a few seconds. It was clear just how dangerous those Golden Chains were.

"We must be careful. We absolutely cannot let her chains touch us!"

"I understand, big brother."

Choso and Eso stared solemnly at Makima in the distance. A moment later, four Golden Chains shot toward them again.

"Move!"

Having prepared themselves in advance, Choso and Eso narrowly avoided the chains. As Choso dodged, he simultaneously activated his technique and launched another attack at Makima.

Blood Manipulation: Slicing Exorcism!

Rapidly spinning blood formed into a wheel and flew toward Makima with powerful cutting force, only to be intercepted midair by a Golden Chain under Makima's control.

Then Makima lightly raised a hand, and even more Golden Chains flew out from behind her.

This time, there were sixteen chains in total!

"Damn it, is her technique the kind that consumes very little energy?!"

Seeing Makima summon sixteen chains without even changing expression, Choso gritted his teeth and fled alongside Eso once more.

However, this time, with the number of chains having multiplied several times over, Choso could barely hold on, but Eso was caught off guard and tightly bound by the chains.

"Big brother!"

Eso, bound by several chains, still tried to struggle desperately, but he could no longer mobilize even a trace of cursed energy. His body weakened at a terrifying rate.

In the end, Eso could only let out an unwilling cry before following in Kechizu's footsteps and losing consciousness as well.

"Eso!"

Seeing Eso collapse just like Kechizu, Choso's face twisted ferociously, but he did not dare slow his pace even slightly. The moment he stopped, his body would be tightly bound by more than a dozen chains.

"You dared to hurt my brothers like this. You... are unforgivable!"

Placing one hand on his body, Choso activated his technique to accelerate the circulation of blood within himself several times over, temporarily enhancing his physical abilities.

Crimson Scale Movement: Overload!

The overloaded body suddenly erupted with even greater speed. Taking advantage of this, Choso successfully escaped the chains' attacks before rapidly closing in on Makima.

"At this speed, her chains can no longer catch up to me for the moment. As long as I get close enough, I still have a chance."

The technique gathering in his hand was already primed. As long as he successfully closed the distance, Choso could launch the incredibly fast Piercing Blood from point-blank range.

No matter how strong she was, she would never be able to react in time at this distance!

"Lady Makima, be careful!"

Choso's movements were so obvious that even Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo in the distance noticed something was wrong.

Though they did not understand why a curse could use the signature technique of the Kamo clan, one of the Jujutsu World's three great families, recalling the ultimate move their classmate Noritoshi Kamo used in everyday combat, the two girls easily saw through Choso's intentions.

But at this distance...

"It's too late. Die, you damned woman!"

Choso pressed his hands together, and the blood compressed to its limit shot out in an instant. Passing through the gaps between the chains, it reached Makima in the blink of an eye.

Yet even in the face of such danger, Makima's gaze did not change in the slightest.

After all, although Blood Manipulation: Piercing Blood had an extremely high appearance rate in the original work, it was like the Great Fireball Technique from a neighboring series—seemingly impressive, but rarely accomplishing much.

Its only notable achievement seemed to have been when it first appeared, used by Noritoshi Kamo to graze the outer skin of Hanami, one of the four disaster Cursed Spirits, barely inflicting a trace of damage.

Against an attack like that, Makima could block it even relying solely on her body and cursed energy for defense.

However, her body was ultimately her master's property. Since her master still needed to use it, getting it damaged would not be good.

Thus, watching the attack about to arrive, Makima spoke softly.

"Listen to me. Stop."

The gentle voice rang by his ear, yet it brought only endless cold.

In an instant, an irresistible feeling swept through his entire body. Choso discovered in horror that he could no longer control his body at all, and the technique in his hands was forcibly interrupted.

As for the remaining attack, Makima merely tilted her head slightly and avoided it.

What was happening? Why could he not control his body? Move already! He still had to defeat the enemy before him and take his brothers away from here!

Unfortunately, no matter how desperately Choso's remaining consciousness struggled, his body still remained frozen in its previous position. He could only watch helplessly as the woman in the distance slowly approached, Golden Chains wrapping tightly around him one after another.

Clink, clink, clink...

The sound of chains grinding against each other rang out.

So this was how Eso and Kechizu had felt...

Bound by sixteen Golden Chains, Choso had time for only that single thought before instantly losing consciousness.

Thud!

The chains dispersed, and Choso's body fell heavily to the ground. Without revealing any change in expression, Makima used her control on the three Special Grade Cursed Spirits lying on the ground.

There was not much to say about their abilities, but at least their strength was decent.

They could help her make greater contributions for her master.

Seele: Please, My Other Self!

After bringing the three Special Grade curses under her control, Makima finally turned to look at the two girls in the distance, who had watched the entire battle from beginning to end.

"L-Lady Makima!"

Noticing Makima's gaze, Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo instinctively tried to straighten up, hoping to leave a good impression on her.

After all, even setting aside her strength, Makima was now one of the upper echelons of the Jujutsu World. Her authority throughout Tokyo was practically unrivaled. For Jujutsu High School students like Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo, who had no real background, meeting someone of her status even once would have been difficult if not for this exchange event.

Even being able to see Makima at this exchange event was a matter of good fortune. Under normal circumstances, exchange events between the two Jujutsu High Schools were attended only by the students, teachers, and principals of the two schools. No Jujutsu World higher-ups would have any interest in watching students like them compete.

Unfortunately, because they moved too hastily, the two girls aggravated their injuries. Forget standing straight—under the sharp pain, their bodies swayed, and they nearly collapsed back onto the ground.

"There is no need to force yourselves. Given your current condition, it would be best not to make any large movements until you receive treatment."

Makima reached out to steady the wavering Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo, speaking to them in a faintly concerned tone.

"You have already done well enough to hold out this long against the combined assault of three Special Grade curses. There is no longer any need for you students to remain involved. If you can still move, leave this place as soon as possible."
