Eso's [Rotting Decay Technique] could turn his own blood into a highly corrosive, deadly poison!
Kechizu's blood could even spray out like concentrated acid!
For a time, Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki traded blows with the brothers Eso and Kechizu through excellent teamwork, but they never managed to inflict fatal damage. Instead, their opponents' bizarre blood attacks restricted their movements, gradually putting them at a disadvantage.
Yet just as the three became embroiled in a bitter struggle...
Ye Chuan, the guardian they had placed such high hopes in from the start, acted like a spectator with no stake in the matter, teleporting straight to the highest point of this innate domain.
Then he leisurely sat down and watched the entertaining battle below with interest.
The battle soon reached a fever pitch.
"Watch out! Fushiguro!"
During a fierce exchange, Megumi Fushiguro slipped up, and Kechizu's blood, extending like tentacles, seized him and dragged him straight into the underground swamp of flesh, temporarily putting him out of action!
"Fushiguro!"
Itadori and Kugisaki paled in alarm at the sight!
And in that instant when their companion's capture distracted them-
Eso seized that fatal opening!
"[Rotting Decay Technique: Maximum-Decay]!"
Hiss! Hiss!
Two streams of blood filled with deadly poison and the laws of corrosion struck Itadori and Kugisaki in an instant, like the deadliest venomous snakes!
"Aaaaaaagh!!!"
Indescribable agony instantly swept through their entire bodies!
Pitch-black, bizarre markings resembling plant roots began spreading wildly over their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Eso's deadly poison was corroding and breaking down their bodies from within, bit by bit!
"Damn it, I can't move..."
Itadori and Kugisaki collapsed to the ground in agony. Their consciousness began to blur, their lives like candles in the wind that could go out at any moment.
