Now that he was on guard, how could someone of Kento Nanami's caliber let Mahito's ambush succeed again?
His blunt blade flashed, parrying every attack. His opponent's technique was too bizarre for Nanami to recklessly grab an incoming tentacle and drag him closer.
Sure enough, another segment of gleaming spikes immediately sprouted from those tentacles!
Kento Nanami: !
He turned his head and twisted aside. Fortunately, he hadn't rashly chosen to touch them, or that unexpected strike would certainly have caught him out.
At the same time, he began forming a plan...
His opponent's technique was strange and unpredictable, and he seemed capable of freely altering human forms, into weapons and more.
It's a little like how Kamo used to fight...
Indeed, in his early days, Kamo Xu hadn't grasped the essentials of Reverse Cursed Technique. To make combat easier during his time at Jujutsu High, he had relied on Piercing Blood, his soul's versatility, and his blood's malleability to fight.
Back at Jujutsu High, his favorite pastime had been wandering around, dragging Nanami and Haibara to the School Grounds to train whenever he felt like it.
As a result, Kento Nanami's raw strength and ability to handle such unpredictable techniques had improved enormously!
That was precisely why these once-perilous attacks gradually became ineffective under Nanami's calm responses.
Nanami slowly figured out Mahito's attack patterns and the logic behind his actions, reducing each assault to a harmless breeze passing him by.
But that immaturity in combat, those attacks he keeps experimenting with and changing as he goes...
Is this bastard actually still just a Cursed Womb?!
I can't let him live!
He swung his blade again. This time, instead of blocking, he slashed straight through!
Create a weak point at the seven-to-three ratio... then strike and break it!
To Mahito,
