The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 38

Once Saki made sure Sukuna was suppressed, she turned to Uraume angrily. She stood up easily, breaking through the ice, ignored the sharp blade, grabbed it straight out of their hands, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it, snapping it in half.

Uraume's pupils shook. They stared at the girl's unharmed hand, completely speechless.

That sword was a special grade cursed tool. Its ability was to ignore the hardness of any object and attack the soul directly. Kenjaku had given it to them specifically to deal with her.

And it couldn't even hurt her?

"Rude, my ass! I haven't even started with you yet. You actually tried to ambush me," Saki said, then immediately threw a punch.

Uraume took a heavy hit straight to the stomach, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and flew back dozens of meters before slamming into the ground. They couldn't even get up.

Uraume immediately used reverse cursed technique to heal themselves, but barely got anything done before the girl was already charging at them again.

Saki just went in and absolutely wrecked Uraume.

Halfway through beating him up, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Wait, you definitely have teammates. Where's the guy who tripped me just now? Was it that small-eyed dude in the monk robes?"

No one answered. At this point, Uraume had already passed out.

Awkward.

"Sukuna, Sukuna, do you know where that guy is?" She could only try asking Sukuna.

Even though she asked, she wasn't really expecting an answer. Since the moment he'd taken over her body, he'd never gone along with anything she wanted.

"Leave Uraume behind, and I'll tell you where," Sukuna said casually. Then, without waiting for her to agree, he added, "Southwest. He's running."

Saki didn't even bother negotiating and immediately dashed off in that direction.

Kenjaku, hiding in the shadows, had originally planned to sneak away. But when he saw the girl charging right at him, he quickly summoned a flying cursed spirit and tried to escape.

Saki saw it and ran over to grab the broken cursed tool off the ground. She threw the snapped blade like a throwing knife—the blade went straight through the cursed spirit, which was instantly exorcised and disappeared into the air.

Kenjaku dropped straight down to the ground.

Saki caught up right away and didn't even give him a chance to talk before landing a punch.

Kenjaku got sent flying from the hit, his head ringing like his brain had just been knocked out of his skull. In that moment, he suddenly understood why Jogo had flat-out refused to join the plan to assassinate this girl.

—Only the ones who've taken her punches personally know just how terrifying they are.

Even the wind from her punches carried the scent of death. For a second, he seriously thought he was going to die. Thankfully, she held back at the last moment—clearly not aiming to kill.

He slammed into some rocks in the distance and coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. Seeing her second punch already incoming, he quickly shouted, "The Inugane Clan!"

Saki stopped mid-swing, quickly piecing together what he meant. She stared at him, totally stunned. "You took hostages again?!"

"Yes." Kenjaku nodded without shame and spat out more blood. "I sent a curse over to the hotel. Whether your teammates live to see the sun tomorrow depends on whether or not you let me go."

"You've got no shame! You always pull this crap!" Saki was furious.

Kenjaku just shrugged helplessly and sighed. "What can I say? I can't beat you. I've got no choice but to use cheap little tricks."

He didn't seem to mind admitting his methods were scummy.

"So, what's your choice? Going to let me go?" he asked, like he was sure she would.

Of course, Saki chose to let him go. Life was precious to her. But she had conditions.

"I'll let you go, but you have to make a binding vow with me. Swear that you'll never harm anyone from the Inugane Clan again—and you won't send anyone else to do it, either."

She wasn't gonna let this guy keep dragging her around by the nose forever.

"Fine." Kenjaku wasn't surprised she'd make that demand. He agreed without hesitation.

The two of them made a deal and quickly formed the binding vow.

The exact terms: as long as Saki let him go today, Kenjaku would never harm or order others to harm anyone from the Inugane Clan.

The vow took effect. Kenjaku immediately recalled the cursed spirit he had sent out beforehand, then summoned another flying cursed spirit to make his exit.

"Wait a sec." Saki suddenly called out.

Kenjaku turned back in confusion—then got punched again, right off the cursed spirit. His nose broke from the hit. He was about to remind her about the vow, but then he realized the catch.

"I only promised to let you go. I never said I'd let you go right away," the girl said proudly. "So sit tight and take your beating like a man."

Kenjaku: "..."

Kenjaku looked a little exasperated—not because he'd let his guard down, but because he hadn't expected her to do something so pointless.

She really was such a brat.

He wiped the blood from his nose and calmly reminded her, "For someone with a reverse cursed technique, no matter how serious the injury, it'll heal quickly. What you're doing is meaningless."

"How is it meaningless? I get to blow off steam," Saki said, throwing another punch. "Going to bed angry messes up your sleep quality."

Kenjaku: "..."

He quickly summoned a slime-like cursed spirit to wrap around her fist, dispersing the force of the punch, and used the chance to pull away.

Then, torn for a second between letting her vent and fighting her seriously, he chose the latter.

This was actually a good opportunity—since they'd made a binding vow, the girl wouldn't go for the kill, and he could take the chance to study her abilities.

So far, he'd confirmed she had extreme poison resistance—no toxins worked on her. And her body was absurdly tough—no physical attacks could even pierce her skin.

Only abilities that targeted the mind had any effect on her, like the one he'd used to trip her twice before.

That was the ability of the cursed spirit giant catfish.

—It made the target hallucinate as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss, making them fall.

Thinking of that, Kenjaku suddenly summoned a whole horde of cursed spirits, including giant catfish. Then, in the two seconds the curses managed to stall the girl, he activated his domain.

He wanted to test its effectiveness.
