Sukuna's cursed technique had burned out. Without a doubt, this was the best chance to kill him.
Yet Sukuna was still grinning, as though the enemy right in front of him were a joke and Kamo Xu were nothing but air.
Sukuna spoke.
"You know, Kamo." He jabbed his thumb into his own chest. "This brat kept wailing while he fought that cursed spirit you killed so casually. His pathetic whining never stopped!"
He meant Itadori. Kamo Xu tilted his head, unsure what Sukuna was plotting.
Did he think I'd give up on killing him because of Itadori?
Clearly, the King of Curses wasn't that stupid. Sukuna knew perfectly well how Kamo Xu felt about cursed spirits, and how determined he was to exorcise every last curse.
Expecting this madman to spare a thought for this boy...
Hah. He would sooner believe Itadori was willing to hand his body over to him completely.
"This brat's reason for calling me out at the last second... wasn't to get rid of the cursed spirit. It was to give those other two brats a chance to escape, wasn't it?"
The corner of Kamo Xu's eye twitched. A vague sense of dread crept over him.
"Hahahaha! Look at that stupid face!"
Looking at Kamo Xu's dumbfounded expression, Sukuna couldn't help laughing. This guy still had no idea who he was dealing with.
I'm Ryomen Sukuna! A true curse!
Sukuna brought his hands together, forming a hand seal on the spot. The cursed energy that had stalled from burnout began surging again.
Kamo Xu's eyes widened instantly, and his sense of dread grew even stronger.
Instinct made him raise his hands, unleashing his trump card at the same time as the King of Curses...
