The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 62

Prev | Directory | Next

The canyon under the bridge was divided by the river. Once you crossed the water, you entered a barrier. The second Sukuna stepped into it, the surroundings suddenly changed.

In an instant, he was inside a cave-like place. Noise came from above, and a curse that looked like a giant groundhog popped its head out of a hole, screeching loudly.

Sukuna frowned, clearly irritated. His fingers twitched slightly, and a slash cut clean across the curse's body.

The screeching stopped instantly. The top half of the curse's body dropped to the ground. Then he reached out, shoved his hand into the curse's torso, and pulled out the finger.

The whole thing took about two seconds.

As the curse's body began to fade, it was clear it had been killed.

"Whoa, your technique is actually super strong," Saki couldn't help blurting.

Forgive her for misjudging—back when Sukuna used his technique on her, it only ever tore her clothes, so she'd always assumed his ability was kinda weak.

"Alright, since the curse is gone, you can give me the bod—"

Just as she was about to take back control of her body—

Sukuna let out a soft grunt. He suddenly made a mouth appear in the palm of the girl's hand and fed the finger straight into it.

The air fell silent for a second.

Then the very next moment, Saki—having regained control—screamed while clutching her head, "Aaaah! Sukuna, how could you just eat it without even washing it?!"

Sukuna: "..."

He stayed quiet for a moment, then finally asked, in disbelief, "That's what you're concerned about?"

"There was still curse blood on it! How could you just eat it like that?!" Saki was still freaking out.

Normally when a curse dies, its blood and body parts disappear with it. But this one hadn't even fully faded yet!

"Aaah! What if we get diarrhea?! That's so unsanitary!"

"You not caring about hygiene is one thing, but how could you use my body like that? That's way too much!"

Sukuna: "..."

He already knew the girl's thought process was kind of out there, but he hadn't expected this level of bizarre.

Was this really something a normal person would care about?!

"So damn noisy. Shut up," he finally snapped, unable to hold back anymore.

"You're yelling at me?" Saki said in disbelief. "You were the one who did something wrong, and you still have the nerve to yell at me?!"

And just like that, she stormed straight into the inner domain to pick a fight.

Sukuna: "..."

Even with an extra finger in him, he still stood no chance against the girl. He got completely wrecked.

Saki didn't stop there—after beating him up, she kept going, fuming and arguing at full throttle.

"Do you realize you were wrong? This time was clearly your fault."

Sukuna rolled his eyes and said, "They're fighting up there. If you really don't care whether those three brats live or die, feel free to keep throwing your tantrum."

"What?" Saki blinked, stunned. Once she realized he was talking about Itadori and the others, she quickly exited the domain.

She sprinted back fast—so fast that within seconds, she was back at the place where she'd jumped down, and with a light leap, she was back on the bridge.

But the people who had been waiting there were gone. All that was left were signs of a battle—damaged ground, broken guardrails.

Her heart clenched. Just as she was about to ask Sukuna where everyone went, a loud boom sounded from nearby. She immediately dashed in that direction.

Right as she arrived, she saw Kugisaki getting knocked into the air. Saki moved in an instant, catching her steadily, and the second she saw the strange rose-like patterns on Kugisaki's face, her worry deepened.

"Kiki!" Kugisaki's eyes lit up with joy the moment she saw her.

Saki gently set her down, then turned her gaze—clearly unhappy—toward the enemy who'd just attacked.

Itadori was in the middle of fighting that guy. The man looked human, even though he was dressed in a gross, weird outfit.

A short distance away, Fushiguro was fighting another enemy, and that one clearly wasn't human—it looked just like a small monster out of a video game.

Whatever. She didn't have time to think about all that.

Without hesitating, Saki charged forward and threw a punch.

Before either side could react, the guy had already been sent flying, landing in a crater with a loud crash. He was completely out of commission.

She hadn't gone all out with the hit. For one, she wasn't sure if he was a curse spirit or a curse user. Curses were best exorcised immediately; curse users were better handed over to Gojo for interrogation. Second, she didn't know what kind of effect the rose markings on Kugisaki's face might have.

If it was a curse that needed the caster to lift it, then killing him outright was off the table.

The enemy that looked like a monster saw his companion get knocked out and shouted instinctively, "Big brother!"

Saki blinked in surprise. Curses weren't supposed to have siblings, right? So were both of them curse users after all?

She was turning the thought over in her mind, but her actions didn't pause for even a second—she launched forward and threw another punch, easily knocking the second one out too.

The others watched as she dealt with the enemies like it was nothing and started heading over. Mahito also popped up out of nowhere.

"That just now was way too dangerous," Mahito explained before anyone could ask. "So I took Miss Nitta to hide."

Nitta was the assistant supervisor assigned to this mission.

Saki didn't really care that she'd gone into hiding—she was more curious about the two enemies. Pointing at them, she asked, "Mahito, are they curse spirits or curse users?"

Mahito hesitated for two seconds, then answered truthfully, "They're incarnates."

"Incarnates?" Saki looked shocked for a moment but quickly made a decision. "Then let's bring them back and hand them over to Mr. Gojo."

After that, she looked over at Kugisaki. Seeing that the rose-like markings on her face still hadn't disappeared, she frowned and walked toward the one that looked more human. He was down for the count, but just barely conscious.

"What did you do to Nobara? Undo it. Now," she ordered.

Before she even finished speaking, the man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The blood shot out like an arrow, slicing past her cheek.

"Rot Technique: Decay," he muttered, activating his technique.

Everyone's expression changed.
