Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 - The Ultimate Punishment



I don't fully understand how it works, but my technique can trap a chosen target—whether it's a person, a curse, or an object—inside a space similar to a mirror world. I can keep them locked inside by continuously using cursed energy, or I can erase them completely. 

This technique consumes a huge amount of cursed energy. Even if I trap someone far weaker than me, I can only use it about twenty times a day. 

Specific body parts, like an arm, can also be targeted separately, which consumes less energy. 

Hikigaya Hachiman watched the slaughter knife coming closer and closer, but he didn't panic at all. On the contrary, his mind was unexpectedly calm, and his thoughts were racing. 

I don't have much cursed energy left after the previous fight. If I target this guy in front of me, it'll probably drain me completely. 

Then… should I aim for his hand? 

No, that would still take a lot of energy. The battle in Shinjuku isn't over yet, so I need to conserve as much strength as possible. The best option is— 

"Huh?" 

Kumiya Juzo suddenly froze. The slaughter knife in his hand flew out of his grip and stopped mid-air as if it were trapped in place. 

At that moment of distraction, a fist suddenly filled his vision. 

"Ugh!" 

A cursed-energy-infused punch smashed straight into the bald man's face, bending his nose out of shape—but that was all. 

As soon as Hikigaya Hachiman stopped pouring energy into the mirror space, the sealed knife broke free and fell back into Kumiya Juzo's hand. 

He immediately swung his blade, and before Hikigaya Hachiman could dodge, it left a deep wound on his left forearm, cutting all the way to the bone. 

"Tch... Fighting without Hayashizaki around is really inconvenient." 

Hikigaya Hachiman gritted his teeth, trying his best to endure the sharp pain in his arm so he wouldn't embarrass himself by screaming. 

"Hikigaya!" 

Yukinoshita Yukino quickly caught up, glancing at Hikigaya Hachiman's injury before shifting her gaze to Kumiya Juzo, who was chasing down fleeing civilians. 

Her eyes flickered with hesitation. 

If the bald man was the only enemy, she could leave Hikigaya Hachiman behind and chase after him. But there was also a semi-grade-one cursed spirit here… 

"Go after him," Hikigaya Hachiman forced out the words through the pain. "Don't worry about me. If I can't win, I'll run."

If he asked Yukinoshita to stay and fight the curse with him, she probably wouldn't refuse.

But if he backed down now, innocent people would die, and he'd never be able to live with himself.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't want to see the faces of the people who died because of his weakness haunting him every time he tried to sleep.

"Don't die."

There was no time for hesitation. After leaving those two words behind, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately sprinted after Kumiya Juzo.

After undergoing a long period of systematic enhancement, Yukinoshita Yukino's physical abilities had far surpassed those of an ordinary person. Even without using cursed energy to reinforce her body, she was already a human-shaped dinosaur. When she activated her cursed energy, she moved like a blur.

In just a few seconds, she caught sight of Kumiya Juzo again—and the terrified civilians he was chasing.

Hearing the rapid footsteps behind him, Kumiya Juzo turned his head and flashed a taunting smile at Yukinoshita Yukino. Then, without hesitation, he slashed his blade across the smooth, bare back of a girl wearing a backless dress.

"Ahhh!!!"

The girl's sharp, piercing scream rang in the black-haired girl's ears. Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes widened, and she suddenly reached out her hand. 

"Ugh!" Kumiya Juzo let out a muffled groan. 

Blood sprayed into the air as his movements suddenly halted. The invisible slash didn't cut off his legs completely, but it severed his tendons. The bald man lost his balance and collapsed toward the ground. 

Before he hit the ground, he still had the time to unleash a blast of cursed energy, sending the injured girl flying. His goal was clear—to provoke the enraged girl chasing after him even more. 

And he succeeded. 

"You bastard!" 

Her fury turned into killing intent, and the surging emotion dyed her cursed energy a deep red. Yukinoshita Yukino had never felt such a strong and urgent desire to end someone's life as she did now. 

She finally caught up to the fallen Kumiya Juzo and reached out her hand toward him. 

And that was exactly what he had been waiting for. 

The man sneered, unleashing his stored-up strength in an instant. He suddenly twisted his body and swung his butcher knife with a deadly strike at the black-haired girl, who had lost herself in anger. 

But Yukinoshita Yukino caught the gleaming blade with her bare hand. 

The moment the butcher knife sliced into her soft skin, a flood of cursed energy surged forth. A powerful slash tore through not only the blade itself but also the arm holding it, reducing both to shreds. 

"What?!" Kumiya Juzo's face twisted in shock, momentarily forgetting even the intense pain. 

Her technique had just gotten much stronger! So her cursed technique was actually more suited for close combat? 

That misjudgment cost him his life. 

Yukinoshita Yukino grabbed his thick, fleshy face and lifted him off the ground with one hand. Her fingers tightened like a vice, ready to crush his skull. 

Her face was ice-cold, and her dark blue eyes, like the sky over a frozen plateau, were filled with killing intent. 

Her technique had nothing to do with ice, yet Kumiya Juzo felt an unbearable chill creeping up his spine, sinking into his skull. 

"Die." 

The single word was like a death sentence. 

At this moment, she was nothing like her usual self. Even if Yukinoshita Haruno were here, she might think some kind of demon had possessed her. 

Her technique activated again. 

Blood sprayed like blooming flowers, covering Kumiya Juzo's entire body. The slashes continued, carving away at every inch of his flesh, one cut at a time. 

Her cursed energy output wasn't enough for a single decisive attack, so she made up for it with sheer volume. 

For the one on the receiving end, this was nothing less than a slow and torturous execution. 

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" 

At first, Kumiya Juzo let out rough, hoarse screams that sounded like a crow's caw. But as his throat was slashed open, even screaming became impossible. Only faint, choking gasps escaped his torn windpipe, mixed with gurgling blood. 

Yukinoshita Yukino's face showed no pity. 

Blood splattered across her smooth cheeks, staining her like a merciless witch. 

The execution lasted for a full thirty seconds. 

By the time she finally let go, the thing in her hand no longer looked human—only a vaguely human-shaped mass remained. 

Blood, flesh, and shattered bones piled beneath the corpse. 

She released her grip, letting Kumiya Juzo's mangled body fall to the ground. Then, without a word, she turned and walked away. 

But after just a few steps, she suddenly bent over. 

"...Urgh…"
