Sachiko was about to attack Todo with her cursed energy katana when a veil suddenly appeared.

"Why would a veil appear?" Sachiko frowned and Todo also seemed to be thinking the same.

"Nakamura! Look out!" Itadori shouted.

Huge roots appeared from the underground and separated Sachiko from Todo and Itadori. The roots continued spreading and Sachiko had to dodge further into the opposite side of the forest.

"You're the one who ambushed us back then!" Sachiko exclaimed as she recalled a curse distracting them and trying to take away Jogo. She also realized the curse was separating her from the others.

"You're the brat who killed Mahito and Jogo's death also have something to do with you. So, I'm here to end your life." Hanami said as he used diseaster plants to attack Sachiko.

"So you're here to avenge? Curses like you even have feelings?" Sachiko asked playfully and Hanami exploded, "OF COURSE WE DO! WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE HUMANS AFTER ALL!"

"Replace humans,huh? That's what Mahito said before he died. " Sachiko said.

As soon as Hanami heard these words, the plants got bigger and the speed became even faster.

Sachiko continued to cut the plants down with her cursed energy katana. More plants emerged from the ground Sachiko was standing on and when she cut off the plants, the plants disappeared making her seem vulnerable in mid-air.

Then, Hanami took the chance to attack with his wooden ball. Sachiko quickly manipulate her cursed energy to act as a shield and reinforced her body. The wooden ball couldn't penetrate the shield Sachiko made. So, She landed onto the ground without a problem.

"So you use curse energy to create those plants. Impressive." Sachiko commented as she cut down more of Hanami's plants.

She then heard a splash of water and sea monsters appeared from behind. Its attack power is not bad. In fact, Sachiko became wary as she also had to deal with Hanami at the same time.

"A shikigami user?" Sachiko narrowed her eyes. "That is troublesome."

Sachiko discarded the cursed energy katana and concentrated more cursed energy to make a bow and arrows. She then shoot out cursed energy arrows to destroy the Shikigamis. As soon as the Shikigamis were destroyed , Sachiko made cursed energy katana again. However, just before she could do so, Hanami shot out cursed buds towards her.

Sachiko subconsciously used cursed energy to defend the buds but her face paled as soon as she realized she made a mistake. Several curse buds grew inside her body and Sachiko winced in pain.

"It feeds on cursed energy? The more I use cursed energy, the deeper they will plant into my body.." Sachiko laughed rather bitterly. She just made a big mistake by defending with a strong cursed energy shield.

Hanami laughed at that and said, "So how do you feel? The more you try to use cursed energy now, the more pain you would feel. I'm sure the buds will grow quicker that way, too. You either get killed by us or the buds will grow all over your body and die."

"As if I'm going to get taken down by that." Sachiko gritted her teeth. However, she was thinking how she could get out of this situation.

'I can't win by not using cursed energy because it had been my main strength all these years. Besides , I don't have a superior physical strength like Itadori or Todo so even if I tried to fight without cursed energy, I can't win. I can't use reversed curse technique to heal yet because I don't know what effects it would have since the reversed cursed technique also uses cursed energy to heal.' Sachiko thought.
