Chapter 168 - No. 1 in Points

The terrifying and strange black flame appeared out of nowhere without any warning.

The flames spread all over the place in an instant, causing Kurourushi to let out an extremely miserable roar.

As a result, the movement of it's hand that was intended to launch a sneak attack was temporarily paused.

Seeing this, Kazuma rushed to Kurourushi's dead body and reached out with one hand.

A sharp wooden stick suddenly shot out from the palm of his hand, instantly sending a chill through Kurourushi's heart, who possessed the body of a special-grade cursed spirit.

No matter how hard Kurourushi struggled, it was useless as it was nailed to the wall.

It still didn't understand—how did Kazuma predict that it would attack him?

Clearly, it had faked it's own death, which was perfect.

It had done so to devour Kazuma's body.

That's right, from the moment it had seen Kazuma, it had set his sights on him.

The huge amount of energy contained in Kazuma's body made every cell in it's body stir.

But now, it regretted it's actions.

For the first time, it, who is said to be immortal, felt the threat of death.

The continued burning of Amaterasu's black flames caused it's body and soul to suffer extremely painful torture.

Moreover, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't extinguish this damn strange flame.

The instinct for survival made it frantically produce countless small cockroaches from its lower abdomen, trying to escape.

But it was all in vain. Every time a small cockroach appeared, it was instantly swallowed by the black flame.

The crackling sound of burning reached everyone's eardrums.

From the miserable roar to the weak struggle at the end, everything refreshed everyone's view of Jujutsu.

Kurourushi had completely disappeared from the world, but the black marks of the cockroaches' remains on the wall proved that it had existed just now.

Kurourushi, who claimed to have an immortal body, was dead—completely dead!

In the ruins, Takako, who had slowly woken up, and Ishigori, who was lying in the deep pit, looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

That flame... what on earth was that?

It was the first time in their lives that they had seen black flames.

Even though they were so far apart, they could still feel the terrifying temperature.

The most important thing was that no matter how Kurourushi struggled, and even after it used up all it's cards, it couldn't extinguish it.

Wait! Isn't Kazuma's cursed technique space manipulation?

But what about this black flame? Flame and space have nothing to do with each other, right?

Even if it is a derivative, the two can't be derived together, right?

The only explanation is that Kazuma has mastered two completely different and powerful cursed techniques at the same time.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but take a breath.

That kid named Yuta was already very strong. But the helper he found was even more powerful?

Are all modern special grade sorcerers so terrifying?

Yuta also opened his mouth, with a small and delicate ring fixed on his fingertips.

Just now, he had almost wanted to use the ring to directly summon Rika to intercept Kurourushi's sneak attack.

But Kazuma's actions left him completely dumbfounded. He realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

He had heard about this black flame from everyone in Jujutsu High before, but seeing it firsthand still shocked him.

The flame that never goes out...

If I fight Kazuma and he uses this technique, how should I respond?

Can my copy technique replicate this move?

No! Yuta shook his head suddenly, and his firm faith almost faltered.

Although Kazuma's cursed technique is powerful, he is not weak either.

Even if he wants to copy, he has to get the other person's consent.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of cursed energy coming from behind.

Yuta suddenly looked back and noticed that Dhruv Lakdawala was running away?

Kazuma reminded, "That old man has 99 points."

Without any hesitation, Yuta whispered his partner's name.

"Rika, stop him."

In the distance, Dhruv who had already escaped from Kazuma's sight breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene of Kurourushi's tragic death was still vivid in his mind, and that miserable cry kept echoing.

This was the first time he had felt the fear of death from another person's body.

His precise intuition made him very sure that Kazuma's cursed technique was far more than that.

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of chasing after him, otherwise...

Suddenly, a pair of huge pale hands carrying a powerful cursed energy came slapping at him.

Bang!

The golden barrier he raised barely blocked the sudden attack.

When he looked up, he saw a huge, hideous-looking special-grade cursed spirit.

The cursed energy contained in it was unprecedentedly huge.

It was no exaggeration to describe it as bottomless.

Suddenly—

Poof!

Dhruv spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"When..."

With his cloudy eyes wide open, he looked down in confusion at his body pierced by a sharp wooden stick.

Death's whispers reached his ears.

"Kamui."

Bang!

The space suddenly twisted, and blood splattered.

Dhruv felt a chill on his neck and his vision spun.

Then, he realized that his head had been separated from his body in an instant.

"Just hand over the points. If you run, then you can't blame me."

At this time, Yuta also rushed over. He was seen holding the seriously injured Ishigori and Takako in each hand.

"Yuta-kun!"

The moment Rika saw Yuta, she instantly moved to his side and clung to him.

Yuta touched her head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Sorry, Rika."

Then he changed the subject, "How do we deal with these two people?"

Ishigori and Takako were shocked when they heard this and said in unison, "Wait! We'll give you all our points!"

They had seen what had happened just now.

They didn't want to be burned by the strange black flames, nor did they want their necks broken by the space.

Looking at the rising score on the points panel, Kazuma was stunned.

Unexpectedly, these two were willing to hand over their points so readily?

In the original story, these two guys were arrogant and crazy, not afraid of death.

He was originally thinking of either using Tsukuyomi to conquer their spirit or just killing them.

But unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, the two of them were so eager to hand over all their points?

Aren't they going to struggle or resist?

In truth, Ishigori and Takako were indeed lunatics unafraid of death.

But they didn't want to suffer inhuman torture.

Most importantly, they had found the motivation to continue getting stronger.

And so, after this decision, Kazuma's points reached 305.

Through the observation of the little golden bug, his points ranking shot from the last to the first place.

Now, to maintain first place, the best way is to find Kashimo.

If he could also get all of his points, he'd be basically safe.
