The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 23

Before they could wrap their heads around it, a massive wave surged up from the nearby ocean and crashed down on them, instantly submerging them.

Jogo and Hanami finally took the chance to escape from the siblings' wrath.

As the wave receded, the soaked siblings stood on the beach, both of them wearing nearly identical looks of shock and curiosity at what had just happened.

"Sukuna, Sukuna, what the heck is going on?" Saki couldn't help but ask the RSukuna inside her.

"Why should I tell you?" Ryomen Sukuna, as usual, refused to cooperate.

"Fine, don't tell me. I'll just ask Mr. Gojo when I get back," Saki shot back, not about to humor him.

"Was that cursed spirit's doing?" Saitama's usually blank stare suddenly lit up, and he asked with excitement, "Ki-chan, can you keep cursed spirits as pets?"

"Probably not," Saki answered seriously, then firmly shut him down. "Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to take it back home. No way I'm keeping something that ugly."

"Alright then." Saitama's eyes went back to being blank.

Every word of their conversation was clearly heard by the three cursed spirits off in the distance.

Jogo nearly exploded with rage.

Even though he'd been beaten to a pulp, since the siblings couldn't use cursed energy, they couldn't actually kill him. So instead of fear, he mostly just felt furious.

"Mere humans, how dare you insult us like this!" He was so pissed, sparks were flying off the top of his head.

"Jogo, calm down," Hanami reminded him coolly. "We need to figure out how to complete our mission. The longer this drags on, the worse it is for us."

Sure, the siblings couldn't truly exorcise them, but jujutsu sorcerers could. If they waited too long and the sorcerers showed up, with teamwork, the three of them could actually die here.

"Of course I know that," Jogo snapped.

He knew they had to finish this quickly, but it wasn't like he could. That brother-sister duo were nothing like normal humans.

"Let me give it a shot," Dagon said, activating his technique: Death Swarm.

Countless shikigami were summoned. All kinds of ferocious carnivorous fish rushed toward the siblings, snapping them out of their curiosity about the domain, and they began punching back.

Because of the automatic hit effect of the domain, the shikigami's speed of movement was no different from teleportation, and the shikigami only became real after hitting the enemy.

As a result, each of their punches could only knock one shikigami away, which was rather annoying.

They had to resolve the problem at its source.

Saitama glanced at the three cursed spirits in the distance who dared not approach, then suddenly leaped forward like a missile.

Seeing this, Saki quickly followed, not forgetting to shout, "Brother, I'm going to take down that volcano-head, leave it to me!"

Bang, bang, bang.

Jogo was sent flying by Saki's punch, while Hanami and Dagon were blasted away by Saitama. The three cursed spirits didn't even have time to dodge.

Dagon got lucky and was knocked into the sea, immediately hiding underwater. Unfortunately, Hanami and Jogo were caught and beaten up again.

Dagon, wanting to save his teammates, hurriedly continued manipulating his shikigami to launch another attack.

Saki and Saitama kept on beating up Hanami and Jogo while enduring the shikigami's attacks. The cursed spirits and shikigami kept getting pummeled together, and even when a shikigami occasionally hit them, it didn't matter. The attack was so weak it didn't even leave a mark on their skin.

The two were handling it easily, but since the shikigami were endless and the cursed spirits couldn't really be exorcised, the situation had reached a deadlock.

Sukuna, who had been watching the show, finally spoke in a delighted tone, "This is a domain. If you don't want to be worn down, let me out."

"Why would you help me?" Saki questioned suspiciously.

"Of course, it's with conditions—same as last time. I want you to make a pact with me..." Sukuna didn't finish his sentence.

"I don't need that, thanks." Saki immediately rejected.

"You two don't know how to use cursed energy, which means you'll never be able to exorcise these three cursed spirits. Outsiders won't be able to find this domain. Do you plan on staying here forever?" Sukuna asked with a smile.

Taking advantage of the girl's ignorance about jujutsu, he lied.

Not to mention that the domain was visible and could be easily broken from the outside. Even if no one came to find them, a domain that drained cursed energy couldn't be maintained forever, and they would eventually escape.

At that moment, Saki had a sudden realization: only curses can exorcise curses. The two cursed spirits in front of them were curses themselves, right?

"Brother, I know what to do!"

One minute later, Saki and Saitama were each holding onto Jogo and Hanami's legs, using them as weapons to swing them around with such force that they easily knocked away all the approaching shikigami.

The magma in Jogo's brain was sent flying.

Jogo: "Devils! These siblings are definitely devils!"

It turned out that using cursed spirits as weapons against cursed spirits didn't do much—it only tortured the enemy more.

Saitama ran into the sea and grabbed Dagon out, and then the siblings took Jogo and Hanami to beat up Dagon for a while, but in the end, none of them managed to exorcise any of them.

But they sure did torture them—the three cursed spirits were so dazed that their minds started to flicker with afterimages.

—Their bodies weren't dead yet, but their souls felt like they'd been dead for a long time.

"We can't kill them... does that mean we just have to eat them?" Saki started having some horrifying thoughts.

Ryomen Sukuna, who was within his domain, fell into a long silence upon hearing this.

—For a moment, he couldn't tell who the real villain was.

Luckily, it was at this time that something changed.

Someone attacked the domain from the outside. Upon sensing the familiar cursed energy, Dagon immediately released the domain, and everyone was instantly back in the outside world.

Saki and Saitama didn't even understand how they got out, only to suddenly find themselves falling into an endless abyss. They dropped straight down.

The next second, both of them landed on the ground with a thud, while Hanami and Jogo took the chance to escape.

It was an illusion-type technique.
