"Junpei, watch out!"
Yuji Itadori shouted and punched a transfigured human lunging at Junpei from behind, sending it flying.
"There aren't many left!" Yuji Itadori was a little breathless. He and Junpei Yoshino had been fighting the transfigured humans here for nearly ten minutes.
"Itadori, be careful..." Junpei Yoshino wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously scanned his surroundings. Clearly, he was watching out for Mahito.
"Don't worry. We've still got Mr. Nanami..." Yuji Itadori smiled and looked downstairs, where he could already see Nanami and Yu Haibara.
"Really?" Junpei Yoshino relaxed at once, his guard dropping in an instant.

Cursed energy surged into Mahito's palm as he chuckled. "Idle Transfiguration."
Junpei Yoshino reacted immediately, turning to face Mahito's ugly visage, but it was already too late.

Mahito gloated inwardly, but just before his hand touched Junpei Yoshino, black flames suddenly engulfed his right hand and the entire right side of his body.
"Huh?"
Mahito stood frozen, feeling the excruciating pain in his right side
