Chapter 99: The Beaten Two-Headed Sōsō?

"Tsukiyomi, can you, like me, awaken a cursed spirit by beating up cursed spirits? I'm not sure about that.

But just now, those so-called cursed spirits all seemed to be fighting over this thing to devour it.

My gut tells me this thing must be some powerful artifact—if you swallow it, you might level up several times in a row.

Actually, I’ve been wanting to try it just now, but it looks like a withered finger, and its appearance is just too disgusting.

Just as Tsukiyomi was thinking about going out to farm monsters and become a wild sorcerer like Seiya, Seiya pulled out the finger of Sukuna with the pride of someone showing off a treasure.

Higurashi, who had been standing nearby, opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg after hearing Seiya’s words and seeing the finger of Sukuna he produced.

What kind of people are these?! Swallowing Grade-Special cursed objects to gain cursed energy? This isn’t just about having an odd mindset—anyone who thinks like this doesn’t even deserve to be called human!

What the hell do you mean “level up several times”? Do you think you’re playing a game? That’s a Grade-Special cursed object, not an experience pill!

If an ordinary person swallows that thing, they’ll be completely consumed by the cursed object—there’s no other outcome!

"Ugh, swallowing this thing is definitely disgusting... but if it grants the cursed energy you’re talking about, maybe I could force it down."

"Gulp——————!"

Before Higurashi could even shout a warning, Tsukiyomi, under everyone’s stunned gazes, simply tossed the finger of Sukuna straight into his mouth.

With a loud swallowing sound, the guy actually swallowed Sukuna’s finger whole without hesitation!

"Boom——————!"

The instant Tsukiyomi swallowed Sukuna’s finger, an enormous surge of cursed energy erupted from within him!

Immediately after, black tattoo-like markings appeared on his arms and face, and even more bizarrely, a second pair of eyes grew beneath his lower eyelids.

"This long-lost feeling... After so many years, I, Sukuna, have finally awakened once more."

Tsukiyomi... no, the awakened consciousness of Sukuna residing within Tsukiyomi’s body, clenched his fist, feeling the sensation of this vessel, a smirk creeping onto his lips.

"Tsukiyomi, did eating that thing really hit you that hard? You were always a bit goofy, but you never used to be this cringey.

And what the hell are those tattoos and extra eyes on your face? Planning some performance art, or trying to debut as a goth idol?"

Sukuna, revived after many years, was originally in a great mood.

But soon, his good mood was ruined by the brat standing before him.

Because he now possessed Tsukiyomi’s body, Sukuna could access Tsukiyomi’s memories, and thus knew that this annoying boy was the vessel’s best friend.

"Tsukiyomi? The person you’re referring to will never appear in this world again.

From now on, the only one inhabiting and using this body is me, Sukuna. Your words just pissed me off—so I’ll kill you too!"

Sukuna’s nature is to crave freedom, despise all restraint, and act purely on impulse—he is a true libertarian.

He had just awakened today and was in high spirits, originally planning to let Seiya and Higurashi go unharmed.

But Seiya’s tone earlier had enraged Sukuna, especially when he’d called his finger disgusting.

Sukuna, the King of Curses feared by all a thousand years ago—when had he ever been insulted like this?

So even though Seiya had inadvertently caused his awakening, Seiya must die!

No sooner had Sukuna finished speaking than he shattered the ground beneath his feet; the explosive recoil launched his body hurtling toward Seiya at incredible speed.

Sukuna had intended to slash Seiya’s throat in one swipe, but when he lunged forward, he was stunned to discover that Seiya had not only anticipated his move but had already seized his wrist!

"I don’t care if you’re Four-Faced Sukuna or Eight-Faced Sukuna—even if you really were Tsukiyomi, I’ve punched guys like you before!

Since you struck first, get ready to take a beating. Let me remind you: Tsukiyomi never beat me."

Seiya gripped Sukuna’s wrist and flipped him over his shoulder in a brutal shoulder throw, hurling the still-dazed Sukuna away.

"Boom——————!"

Sukuna, violently thrown, was slammed by immense inertia and wind pressure until his back crashed through the wall of a nearby classroom building and tumbled into a classroom.

Of course, this level of damage meant virtually nothing to Sukuna.

But while his body suffered little, Sukuna’s immense pride was burning with rage.

He, the King of Curses from the golden age of sorcery—how could he, after emerging from millennia of slumber, be defeated by a child and thrown around like trash?

If other sorcerers found out about this, where would Sukuna save face?

As the King of Curses during the peak of sorcery, Sukuna not only possessed powerful techniques, but also extraordinary physical strength and martial prowess.

But unfortunately, the vessel he now inhabited contained only one finger, so his power was limited to one-twentieth of his full strength.

Compared to physical strength and martial skill, Sukuna’s true advantage lay in his vast array of techniques—he had never lost his knowledge or battle experience, no matter how much cursed energy he regained.

As Sukuna rose from the classroom floor, preparing to unleash a technique, Seiya’s figure was already upon him—he rushed forward and delivered a flying kick to Sukuna’s abdomen before he could even form a hand seal!

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom!"

Sukuna, too slow to react, curled his body from the impact and was instantly kicked flying again.

The classroom floor, shattered by the impact of Two-Headed Sukuna being hurled backward, cracked as easily as a wafer cookie, causing him to plunge through to the floor below.

But a single floor was nowhere near enough to absorb the colossal force acting upon him.

As a result, after taking that kick, Sukuna smashed through multiple floors in succession, crashing from the fourth floor all the way down to the first, finally embedding himself in a massive crater in the ground.
