"Kimi is dead," the boss said, his tone dripping with disdain. "How did you think she would be able to defeat Gojo Satoru?"

"But-but si-r, she was killed by a different person-" some curse stammered.

"That different person is Yuta Okkotsu, the host of the Queen of Curses," a female sorcerer, Mizuki, said while sipping her juice nonchalantly.

"Host? Huh?" The boss, Haruma, furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Haruma, the Queen of Curses enjoys living in Okkotsu, whereas the King of Curses is trapped in Yuji Itadori. It's more like a prison for him," she explained with a smirk.

"Mizuki, do not call that Sukuna the King of Curses. It is soon to be me," Haruma declared, puffing out his chest.

Mizuki scoffed, "Let's see~ I've lived since the Heian era to witness this drama unfold!"

"Your highness, Sayuri Gojo was nearly killed by one of the curses," a new curse reported, bowing low.

"Huh! What happened?" Haruma exclaimed, his eyes wide with concern.

The curse kneeled down, "One of our special grade curses flung her far, but it was killed by her friends."

"What a relief," Haruma sighed.

"Not really," Mizuki cut in, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Her friends are a burden. Hmm, wait-" She brought out her moon crystal and peered into its nothingness. "Noritoshi Kamo and Mai Zenin, they're not really supposed to be that strong, you know. But seeing their friend in danger, they exorcised a Special Grade Curse? And Zenin doesn't even have a cursed technique."

"Hmm... What do we do then, My lady?" a curse asked, looking up at Mizuki.

"We kill them," Haruma said, smirking.

------------------------------------

Inside the fourth curtain, the three major clans had begrudgingly united, facing a seemingly endless horde of curses. Thousands, tens of thousands swarmed them, with the most formidable adversary being a colossal dragon. Despite their best efforts, the clans were failing miserably at exorcising it.

Makato Gojo, father of Satoru and Sayuri, was currently atop the dragon, soaring through the air and attempting to land a Black Flash with no success. Thrown off, he landed on his feet just in time for a Zenin clan member to leap at the dragon with a katana. The attack failed miserably, the Zenin warrior blasted away. Another Zenin tried her luck, only to meet the same fate. A member of the Kamo clan managed to make a minor impact, cutting the dragon's skin, but it healed almost instantly.

"At this embarrassing rate, we are going to lose," Genji Gojo said, breathing heavily.

"The only thing we can do now is produce a shield and block ourselves from harm," the Kamo clan leader suggested.

That's when Akumu Gojo, mother of Satoru and Sayuri, took action. With her cursed tool, she managed to gouge out one of the dragon's eyes, rendering it half-blind. Akumu, despite being mute, maintained a calm composure, a stark contrast to her children's fiery nature. As the dragon flew up in pain, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"Not going to lie, but that's the biggest damage we've done till now," a young Zenin, maybe in his twenties, remarked.

"Silence," Naobito Zenin commanded.

"My brother is dead," Mr. Kamo sighed.

"My cousin and one brother too," Genji added.

"Let's use my niece's shield technique then," Mr. Kamo proposed.
