Jujutsu World: Unlocking Killer Queen at the Start, Part 47

Yu Haibara noticed Kento Nanami had stopped and curiously walked in front of him. He saw the scene before them.

Intense shock and anger welled up inside Yu Haibara. "W-was this a cursed spirit's doing?!"

Yu Haibara gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could find that wretched cursed spirit immediately. "Haibara, don't bring your emotions into a mission. It will only affect your judgment." Kento Nanami patted Yu Haibara's shoulder and spoke calmly.

"But!"

Yu Haibara's pupils trembled with rage. His clenched fists crackled from the force he exerted. "That thing is desecrating life!"

"Nanamin, aren't you angry at all?"

Kento Nanami silently stepped forward and picked up a mangled arm, speaking in a low voice. "No, I'm very angry. But anger doesn't always solve problems."

"Look at these severed limbs. They have obvious cuts, and the cuts are very clean."

"Cursed spirits don't eat people with that kind of elegance. They only follow their savage, cruel instincts." Kento Nanami paused, staring into Yu Haibara's eyes as he continued.

"Gojo was right. Our enemies might not just be cursed spirits. There's a very strong chance a curse user is involved too."

"A curse user? You mean humans did all this?" Yu Haibara found it hard to believe.

That a human could commit such horrific acts. "Haibara..."

Kento Nanami fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"Anyone who could do something like this can no longer be called human." Perhaps.

This was why Satoru Gojo sent us on this mission.

Once we joined Jujutsu High and became real jujutsu sorcerers, we had to shoulder a jujutsu sorcerer's responsibilities.

But a jujutsu sorcerer's enemies weren't just cursed spirits. Cursed spirits were merely by-products of humanity's negative emotions. Ultimately.

Humans were the breeding ground that nurtured curses.

Take the mackerel cursed spirit Yu Haibara had encountered just now, for example.

Clearly, someone could control cursed spirits to kill Jujutsu High's newcomers and diminish its new blood. And Yu Haibara.

Clearly could not accept that just yet. Or rather.

Yu Haibara did not want to believe it.

Kento Nanami slapped Yu Haibara across the face. "Calm down, Haibara."

Yu Haibara's chest heaved violently, and his breathing grew heavy. "I understand."

Yu Haibara held his left cheek, reddened by Kento Nanami's slap, his voice somewhat subdued. "I'll make the one who desecrated those people pay."

Yu Haibara had calmed down. Just as Kento Nanami had said.

Anger and suspicion would only make a person lose their reason.

Though a fire burned in his heart, Yu Haibara understood. What he needed to do now was calm down.

Otherwise, he would only endanger himself and Kento Nanami.

With his emotions settled, Yu Haibara followed Kento Nanami. The two followed the trail of blood on the floor...

At last, they found their target in a room in the basement.

It was an enormous mountain of flesh, a monster pieced together from countless fragments of human bodies. The elderly, children, women...

These people's heads had been casually strung into a necklace and wrapped around the monster's neck. "This is!"

Kento Nanami saw the stitches on the monster's body. "It stitched humans onto itself."

"Bastard!"

Yu Haibara's eyes widened with fury, and he wanted nothing more than to rush forward and destroy this disgusting monster immediately. A large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Kento Nanami slowly shook his head at Yu Haibara.

As though it had heard them, the mountain of flesh slowly turned around.

The eyes embedded in its greasy body rolled about, seemingly sizing up Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara. Bits of internal tissue occasionally dropped from its bloated body.

The entire room reeked, its stench nauseating. "Heh heh heh."

The mountain of flesh let out a sinister, strange laugh.

Humans, and jujutsu sorcerers with cursed energy at that!

Only people like these were worthy of being its collectibles, of becoming part of its body. "Looks like this thing did all of it."

"Haibara, cover me!"

The instant the words left his mouth, Kento Nanami charged forward with his curse-patterned short blade in hand.

From the monster's mocking gaze, Kento Nanami already knew this battle was inevitable. So he would strike first!

Before Yu Haibara could even see what had happened.

Kento Nanami had already sliced an arm off the mountain of flesh. But.

Compared with the dozens of arms on the monster's body.

This injury was a mere drop in the bucket for the mountain of flesh.

The monster's arm was severed.

Streams of black blood gushed from the wound.

The foul-smelling black blood spilled onto the floor, corroding pits of varying sizes into it. "Its body isn't very tough, but I can't inflict fatal damage."

Kento Nanami flicked the blood off his curse-patterned short blade.

Since he did not yet know where the monster's weakness lay, Kento Nanami's slash had only been a probe.

The mountain of flesh's body was not very tough and could easily be cut open with a blade. But, in turn.

If they could not find its weakness, it would wear them down until their cursed energy ran dry and they died. I need to find its weakness and finish this quickly!

Kento Nanami increased the frequency of his cursed energy output. The mountain of flesh before him had to have a core.

As long as he destroyed that core, he could eliminate it completely. But this mountain of flesh was like an onion.

The severed limbs it had stitched onto itself were like a barrier. If he could not strip away its outer defenses.

Namely, the human remains stitched onto its body, he could not inflict any fatal damage on it.

One more slash!

Kento Nanami held his short blade in a reverse grip, preparing to use his cursed technique to forcibly create a weak point on his opponent's body. If he landed a critical hit, he might be able to break through this thing's shell.

However, before Kento Nanami could put his plan into action.

The human heads stitched onto the mountain of flesh suddenly swelled. Then, those heads expanded to their limit.

Then they burst with a bang. Something's wrong!

Kento Nanami immediately sensed danger and darted back, creating distance as he retreated outside the door with Yu Haibara. The instant Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara withdrew.

Purple gas filled the room. "It's poisonous!"

Kento Nanami quickly determined the toxicity contained in the purple gas.

"This feels a little tricky."

Kento Nanami swung his curse-patterned short blade hard.

Driven by cursed energy, the short blade stirred up a powerful blast of wind. The strong wind temporarily scattered the poisonous gas about to spread in front of them.

But the mountain of flesh kept producing poison gas. And Kento Nanami's cursed energy would run out sooner or later.

The poison gas crept closer, and Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara slowly backed away. We can't keep wearing ourselves down against it!

A glimmer of resolve flashed in Kento Nanami's eyes.

Chapter 76: An eruption of power-was this his true strength? (Please subscribe) A glimmer of resolve flashed in Kento Nanami's eyes.

He did not know whether Satoru Gojo knew what was happening here. He only knew.

If he kept relying on others, he would never become truly strong. "Haibara, we need to kill it in one strike."

Kento Nanami kept his eyes fixed on the mountain of flesh.

"Its weak point is most likely somewhere around its head, because that area is stitched up tightly and well protected." Kento Nanami told Yu Haibara his guess.

"What do you need me to do?" Yu Haibara's expression was grave too.

"I need someone to draw the monster's attention for me." "All right."

Yu Haibara nodded firmly. He did not ask why.

Choosing to trust a companion was, in itself, something done without hesitation. "Then I'll leave it to you."

Kento Nanami did not hesitate.

Taking a deep breath, he tore a strip of cloth from his school uniform and tied it over his eyes. Kento Nanami was ready to behead it.

He had covered his eyes not to look cool, but to keep the poison gas from getting into them.

Besides, this would also let him concentrate intensely and maximize the speed at which he gathered cursed energy. Only then.

Would he have a chance of taking its head off in one slash. "Haibara, let's go!"

Upon receiving Kento Nanami's signal.
