I'm Sorry I Couldn't Let Lord Jie Jian Enjoy Himself!
Hajime Kashimo looked at Jie Jian, who was staggering amid the ruins, and gave a weak smile.
"Since the charges can't enter your body, I'll just envelop the entire mall in them."
"Though it's a bold attempt, it makes for a decent test case."
To ensure the thunderstorm's power, Hajime Kashimo converted most of his cursed energy into positive and negative charges and infused them into the mall.
At that moment, there was barely any cursed energy left in his body.
Just as he was about to completely crush Jie Jian and claim victory, something unexpected happened.
The smile had not yet vanished from Hajime Kashimo's face when his pupils suddenly contracted.
A fist wrapped in immense cursed energy appeared before him. The person before him was none other than Jie Jian, whom he had severely wounded just moments ago!
Jie Jian, whose entire body had been charred black moments earlier, had already returned to normal.
His body was flawless, without the slightest trace of injury.
"Reverse Cursed Technique?!"
Hajime Kashimo had no time to confirm it. The instant the fist was about to strike his brain, an image of his past suddenly surfaced before his eyes.
It was himself from four hundred years ago, the aged version of himself before he had made a pact with Kenjaku.
After a brief moment of shock, Hajime Kashimo understood that he had entered the deathbed flashback that came before death.
He remembered something an elder had told him when he was young.
The souls of powerful sorcerers were stronger than those of ordinary people. In the instant before death, their souls would sense their own demise before their bodies did.
At such times, a sorcerer's soul would take him back to the place he most wanted to go, to see the person he most wanted to see one last time.
Hajime Kashimo looked around and suddenly gave a mocking laugh.
"I thought the person I most wanted to see was Sukuna. So it was this place instead?"
Hajime Kashimo was standing in a silent forest. At a glance, he recognized it as the place where he had agreed to make a pact with Kenjaku.
A voice suddenly sounded from behind him. It was Kenjaku's voice.
"How does the Culling Game feel? Are you satisfied?"
"It's been really fun."
The corners of Hajime Kashimo's lips unconsciously rose. After reminiscing, he looked at Kenjaku with surprise in his eyes.
"I never expected that the person I wanted to see most before dying would be you."
"Yeah, I'm surprised too."
The Kenjaku appearing in Hajime Kashimo's deathbed flashback was not the real Kenjaku.
He was merely a remnant of Hajime Kashimo's memories, a false existence born from his imagination.
Hajime Kashimo did not speak to Kenjaku. He raised his head, and a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
"But it's a little unfortunate. It seems he wasn't truly satisfied. He's really insanely strong, and it seems like he didn't even use his full strength."
"I even doubt that I could defeat him if I used Mythical Beast Amber."
Kenjaku spoke in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to rate him so highly."
"Yes. I even feel somewhat sorry for him."
"Oh?" Kenjaku looked at Hajime Kashimo in confusion. "Why is that?"
"I'm sorry I couldn't let Lord Jie Jian enjoy himself."
Hajime Kashimo's deathbed flashback went completely dark.
Back in reality, Jie Jian looked at Hajime Kashimo, who had fallen to the ground without a clue what had happened, with a panicked expression.
"Bro, Bro Kashimo, are you okay? Can you still hear me?"
Although Bro Kashimo was a bit of a freak, Jie Jian had never intended to kill him like this.
Jie Jian still wanted to see Hajime Kashimo's technique, Mythical Beast Amber, with his own eyes.
He really had not expected that after throwing just one punch, Hajime Kashimo would suddenly kick the bucket!
Jie Jian did not know that, in order to unleash a sufficiently powerful thunderstorm, Hajime Kashimo had already used up more than half the cursed energy in his body.
On top of that, he had spent much of his remaining cursed energy defending against his own thunderstorm. His condition had already fallen to an all-time low.

During their earlier battle, Jie Jian had never shown that he could use Reverse Cursed Technique, and Hajime Kashimo had never imagined that Jie Jian could recover so quickly.
Caught unprepared by Jie Jian's sudden attack, Hajime Kashimo could not even muster cursed energy to defend himself.
A body without cursed energy reinforcement was not much different from an ordinary person's body, to a certain extent.
So after taking Jie Jian's blow, Hajime Kashimo was completely out cold.
Jie Jian's Golden Bug suddenly popped out with a bang.
Points +5, player's current points: 10.
Seeing that his points had increased, Jie Jian finally confirmed that Hajime Kashimo had really gone down.
"Ah." Jie Jian sighed. "Bro Kashimo, next time! Next time, I definitely won't hit you in the head."
He awkwardly scratched his head.
At this point, Jie Jian had no time to mourn Hajime Kashimo.
His clothes had all been destroyed by Hajime Kashimo's thunderstorm.
Now he had to hurry and find a fresh set of clothes to change into.
As for Hajime Kashimo, he was already dead, so there was no need to collect the body.
Just as Jie Jian's battle with Hajime Kashimo came to an end,
Kenjaku, who was hiding in a gutter, suddenly looked toward Tokyo No. 2 Colony in surprise.
"Huh! Tokyo No. 2 Colony..."
"What is it?"
Beside Kenjaku, Uraume frowned and looked at him.
Kenjaku smiled and waved his hand.
"Nothing. I just suddenly sensed that a very powerful sorcerer died inside the colony."
Although the Culling Game colonies had not yet added a rule allowing anyone to freely view all players,
as the colony administrator, Kenjaku still possessed certain additional special privileges.
One function of the Culling Game colonies was to absorb the cursed energy released when sorcerers within them slaughtered one another.
Just now, Kenjaku had suddenly sensed an enormous surge of cursed energy within Tokyo No. 2 Colony.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately realized that an exceptionally powerful sorcerer had died in the colony!
"Very powerful?"
Uraume sneered, utterly unconcerned.
In his view, there were no powerful sorcerers in the world besides Lord Sukuna.
Even if there were, how could a dead sorcerer deserve to be called powerful?
Kenjaku helplessly shook his head.
He knew that Uraume's mind was filled with nothing but Sukuna, so he simply said no more.
Yet he could not help but become curious about who exactly the dead sorcerer was.
After all, it was only the first day of the Culling Game. There were already few people in the colonies to begin with, and even fewer powerful sorcerers.
Kenjaku remembered that he had not placed many ancient sorcerers in Tokyo No. 2 Colony.
The only one who left a deep impression on him was Hajime Kashimo.
But the instant that thought arose, Kenjaku laughed at himself.
He knew Hajime Kashimo's strength. Among all the ancient sorcerers he had reincarnated, Hajime Kashimo was considered one of the stronger ones.
And within Tokyo No. 2 Colony, Hajime Kashimo was unquestionably the strongest!
In Kenjaku's view, the odds of any sorcerer in the colony defeating Hajime Kashimo were infinitely close to zero!
After thinking about it for a long time without finding an answer, Kenjaku decided to stop thinking about it.
"Whatever. The ending is the same no matter what.
Before Sukuna, they're nothing more than slightly stronger toys."
After all, no matter who it was, their final outcome would be to desperately spit out a few insults in front of Sukuna.
Then they would simply be cut down by one of Sukuna's Spatial Slashes.
