Sawa, Fight Me

Dong—

Suguru Geto closed the door.

For some reason, he didn't want those two sisters to see the bloody scene about to unfold.

"Hoo~"

Geto exhaled deeply, his breath turning to white mist in the cold night.

"Um... Mr. Geto, what exactly is the matter?"

Geto brushed aside a strand of his bangs and fixed the crowd of villagers with an icy stare.

"Nothing much. Just... you're all going to die."

As the words fell, amid the villagers' terrified gazes, the space behind Geto split open, and countless grotesque curses crawled out.

"M-monsters!"

"Help!"

"Run! Run!"

The crowd screamed and scattered like startled birds, wishing they could sprout extra legs.

But Geto stood still, not moving, instead looking toward a patch of shadow.

"Taku, stop hiding."

Gojo Sawa stepped out of the shadows, scratching his head sheepishly. "You found me even like this."

A faint smile tugged at Geto's lips. "We're best friends. I know your cursed energy signature better than anyone."

"So, are you going to stop me?"

Taku spread his hands. "What else is there to say?"

"Sigh..."

Geto let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead in mild frustration.

Suddenly, he lifted his head, his expression more serious than ever before.

"Taku, I've always wanted to know—just how big the gap is between you and me."

"Fight me."

A smile curled at the corner of Taku's lips. "Don't cry when it's over."

Taku knew that under his guidance, Geto had already realized that killing all non-sorcerers to create a world without curses was a plan that simply wouldn't work.

But Geto still chose to go on a killing spree.

This clearly wasn't for some grand cause anymore—it was more of a catharsis.

In that case, he'd just use these fists to knock some sense into the guy.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Bestow!"

Countless curses swarmed toward Taku like a hive of bees.

Geto made no attempt to hide them, and with the villagers having just brushed death, they vaguely caught sight of these "monsters" and fled as far as their legs could carry them.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"

A powerful repulsive force crushed the curses into fragments, the shockwave leveling the surrounding houses.

"Bestow: Fusion Spirit!"

Geto roared, and dozens of Rainbow Dragons gradually merged into a single super-massive Rainbow Dragon.

"A new move?"

Taku raised an eyebrow, then casually fired off a Red.

"Roar—"

The super-massive Rainbow Dragon let out a deafening bellow, its enormous tail lashing out like a whip, colliding violently with the Red.

Boom!!!

The Red was actually knocked away by the dragon's tail, slamming into a distant mountain.

In an instant, most of the mountain peak vanished, leaving only a circular crater.

The super-massive Rainbow Dragon that had deflected the Red wasn't in great shape either—its entire tail was mangled and broken.

But Geto simply waved his hand, and several Rainbow Dragons burrowed into the super-massive one to fuse, instantly restoring the shattered tail to its original state.

"Interesting. Then what about this?"

"Nine Ropes"

"Polarized Light"

"Crow and Declaration"

"Between Surface and Interior"

As Gojo Sawa's chant concluded, the Azure and Crimson merged into a violet sphere of light.

"Hollow Technique: Purple!"

The terrifying kinetic energy of imaginary mass, combined with the simultaneous tearing of attraction and repulsion.

The sheer power of this sphere made Suguru Geto gasp in admiration.

"As expected of Taku—the same Purple, but far stronger than the one Satoru unleashes!"

"Ah-choo!"

Inside Jujutsu High, Gojo Satoru, currently squatting on the toilet, sneezed for no reason.

At this moment, facing Taku's Purple, Geto poured all his strength into creating Rainbow Dragons.

Countless Rainbow Dragons rushed forward one after another, burrowing into the colossal Rainbow Dragon and merging with it.

Though the colossal Rainbow Dragon's size did not increase further, the amount of cursed energy and its hardness rose exponentially.

Finally, the colossal Rainbow Dragon let out a fierce roar, opened its massive jaws wide, and swallowed the Purple whole.

Yet this was not the end. The Rainbow Dragon that had devoured the Purple writhed in agony as if poisoned, its entire body swelling larger and larger.

Eventually, with a bang, the Rainbow Dragon shattered into pieces, and a torrent of violet blood rained down from the sky.

"Barely blocked it?"

Gojo Sawa was somewhat surprised by Geto's improvement.

"But if that's all you've got, it's not enough, Jie!"

Boom!!!

Gojo Sawa smiled as he blocked one of Geto's strikes.

The latter had taken advantage of the chaos to close the distance, slamming Playful Cloud against Taku's arm with a thunderous impact.

Feeling a faint sting of pain, Taku grinned. "That attack broke through my Limitless—was that the Domain Expansion I taught you?"

"And this special-grade cursed tool, Playful Cloud..."

Geto cut him off. "Hey, Taku, I've already paid off my debt for Playful Cloud!"

"Tch! I gave you a discount back then!"

Gojo Sawa stepped back slightly, dodging Geto's follow-up attack.

"Going head-to-head with me in hand-to-hand combat? Let me give you another discount—a fracture!"

True Martial Style: Two Days One Sun!

Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

The two moved at astonishing speeds, leaving behind a blur of afterimages in the air. Sparks flew, and the sound of impacts rang out sharply in the night.

"Faster! Faster, Jie! Is this all you've got?"

Geto gritted his teeth as he swung Playful Cloud.

But in terms of hand-to-hand combat, even he and Gojo Satoru combined were no match for Gojo Sawa.

"Bastard! Don't look down on me!"

With a furious roar, Geto began to power up, his movements growing faster and faster.

"This whole 'shout to break your limits' anime trope really pulls me out of the moment!"

Gojo Sawa's face darkened as he forced an end to Geto's power-up with a Black Flash.

Geto steadied himself and responded with a Black Flash of his own.

Then, the Black Flash—something ordinary sorcerers could only dream of—was spammed like a basic attack between the two.

After who knows how many exchanges, sweat beaded on Geto's forehead, and his gaze began to waver.

In contrast, Gojo Sawa remained unhurried, his rhythm unchanged.

"Hand-to-hand... I still can't beat you!"

Geto missed a strike, immediately created distance, put away Playful Cloud, and formed hand seals.

Gojo Sawa was puzzled. "Domain Expansion? You should know you have no chance of winning."

Geto laughed loudly. "How would I know without trying?"

"Domain Expansion: Womb Mandala!"

Gojo Sawa's eyes sharpened as he formed hand seals as well.

"Domain Expansion: Land of No Dust!"

The next moment, the two domains clashed.

And as expected, Land of No Dust, whose effect countered Womb Mandala, gained overwhelming dominance from the start.

"Damn it! Hold on!"

Geto clenched his teeth, outputting cursed energy at maximum power to sustain his domain.

Having expended all his mental energy, he didn't even have the strength left to create a single cursed spirit within his domain.

Gojo Sawa watched Suguru Geto's figure and spoke gently, "Geto, that's enough."

In an instant, the light of the Land of No Dust blazed as brilliantly as the sun.

Suguru Geto watched helplessly as the Womb Mandala faded away bit by bit, unable to slow its dissolution no matter how hard he strained.

Finally, the light of the Land of No Dust enveloped Suguru Geto, the blinding white forcing his eyes shut.

"So... I lost after all..."
