"This is a veil, isn't it?" I yell over the wind whipping against my ears as we sprint towards the area where there's a huge output of cursed energy. "Sort of like the one that Ijichi-san used at the detention center!"
Maki is slightly ahead of me, "Yeah, usually veils are used specifically by jujutsu sorcerers to maintain secrecy while exorcising curses."
"But this doesn't seem right..." She adds. "Not to mention the sudden spike in cursed energy." The veil has now completely covered the sky, giving it a ghastly yellow tint. It also gives the eerie feeling that something bad is about to happen.
"I can feel it too" I say with alarm. It's different from the other times I've been able to feel cursed energy. It feels...dark...Almost like the time Gojo brought Yuuji and I to watch him fight that curse thing. It's almost the exact same feeli—
Just then, a loud, booming explosion comes from above us.
It's so loud that it can no doubt be heard for miles around. The two of us both stumble mid-step, startled by the harsh sound. It takes us a few second to regain our bearings, taking a moment to look around, trying to get a glimpse of what caused the explosion.
"There!" Maki exclaims as she points to the roof of a building not too far from where we're standing.
The roof of the building has been destroyed, leaving only thick brown smoke that rises into the air. After the smoke clears, there's a visibly large crater in the wall of the roof, pieces of shattered red ceramic tile scattered about. Once the smoke clears even more, my eyes widen as I take in the large, humanoid figure standing up from the crater.
It's almost human-like. It stands on two legs with a tan colored body. It has a muscular torso and arms, with black lines running across the length of it and a helmet-like head that does nothing to cover its human-like teeth and two protruding horns. It has no shirt but wears black pants with a white sash.
So this is what the huge amount of cursed energy is coming from. I can sense it directly from the creature. It's no doubt some type of curse...
Before I even have time to react, Maki is already lunging herself at the curse with her sword drawn at an unbelievable speed.
"Maki wait!" I try to warn her.
Maki doesn't stop, even with my warning, and immediately lunges towards the curse. She swings her blade at the curse's head in a quick, precise movement, aiming to end this curse quickly.
"ʏօʊ ƈǟռ'ȶ ɦօքɛ ȶօ ƈʊȶ ʍɛ աɨȶɦ ȶɦǟȶ ɖʊʟʟ ɮʟǟɖɛ."
Her blade shatters to pieces upon contact with the curse's arm.
Megumi quickly follows with his own weapon, attempting to catch the curse off guard. He swings his sword at the curse, aiming directly for the head. It dodges immediately and is only slightly grazed.
As I finally reach both of them, it quickly dawns on me that I have nothing to protect myself. My sword was left back where I fought with that Kyoto student. I mean sure, I have my cursed technique, but I haven't practiced using it at all! And every time I use it, I always end up hurting myself or inconveniencing others. The last thing I want to do is hurt one of my friends...
But I might not have any choice soon.
"Its eye trees are more fragile than the rest of it." Megumi mutters.
"Ռօա ȶɦǟȶ ֆաօʀɖ ɨֆռ'ȶ ֆօ ɮǟɖ..." The curse mutters as one of the broken horns on its head begins to regrow.
I gasp. This thing has the power of regeneration...?!
