Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Kenjaku vs Yuta Final
"Ganesha!" Kenjkau screamed with a massive smirk as Ganesha appeared beside him. The curse was prayed, and Yuta's eyes widened with panic and pain.
Boom!
The outside barrier of the domain instantly broke, and Yuta doubled over in pain, blood flowing out of his mouth. Ganehsa's eyes flashed with struggle as he removed a piece of the barrier.
Boom!
The Domaine exploded into pieces, and Rika screamed as she held the injured Yuta in her arms. Yuta groaned as he tried to heal himself, only to fail.
"My rct is burnt out...Shit." Yuta cursed as Kenjaku slowly walked towards him with a mocking smirk. Kenjaku could have defeated him with his domain, but why would he do that?
"Such a powerful Domain. Too bad that you have no other cursed techniques except for cursed speech," Kenjaku said when he looked at Rika standing over Yuta.
"And... You are a good power to have in my hands~," Kenjaku smirked as he dashed forward. Rika screamed as a beam of cursed energy left her mouth.
Kenjaku just smiled as he flew above the beam before concentrating a blast of gravity that sent Rika flying from Yuta. Her body slammed into the ground, carving into it like water as the blast of gravity pushed her.
"R-Rika!" Yuta shouted with difficulty as he felt his injuries. Kenjaku moved and kicked him in the head. Yuta spun around before slamming into the rubble like a spinner and gaining multiple new injuries.
Yuta fainted as he did not use the cursed reinforcement to defend against the attack. Kenjaku smirked as he turned towards Rika.
"For some reason, there has never been a Shikigami like you. You have consciousness and used to be a cursed spirit before becoming a Shikigami." Kenjaku said with a curious smile.
Rika growled before charging at Kenjaku, only to be hit in the chest by an enhanced elbow strike. Her body was sent flying, another gravity blasting her body straight down into the earth.
Kenjaku flashed above her, spinning in the air, his right hand clenched into a fist. Concentrating on a blast of heavy gravity, Kenjkau let out an excited groan when he punched down.
Boom!
The ground caved, and a crater was made similar to a massive bomb that exploded and appeared with Rika in the centre. Rika screamed, Kenjkau's fist piercing her body like clay.
There is no way Kenjaku should lose to anyone other than Satoru and Sukuna when the guy has lived for a thousand years. And it's not like being inactive like Sukuna.
Kenjaku was active for a thousand years, fighting and planning. Someone like Yuta should have been able to beat Kenjaku, who has multiple cursed techniques.
"Now, let's see if my theory is right." Kenjaku pointed his palm above Rika and activated his cursed manipulation technique. Rika let out a scream of unwillingness, but it was useless for Kenjaku.
Rika's body spun out of shape as she spun in a circle. Her body was forcefully shrunken down into a compact ball of pink bubbles containing Rika's face.
"So it looks like I was right," Kenjaku muttered, satisfied and placed the bubble into his mouth. Kenjaku swallowed it without issue and summoned Rika.
Kenjaku's theory is that when Rika was freed from the curse, her soul was also liberated from it. However, her physical body remained with Yuta, still connected to the ring he possessed.
This ring anchored her existence, preventing her from dying without a soul. In Jujutsu Kaisen, the concepts of the soul and body are intertwined. The body that Rika left behind was connected to the ring.
A black smoke appeared, and Rika came without the usual liveliness. She looked more like a curse now than before. Kenjkau sent a mental order to her.
"Blast away!" Rika exclaimed, and Kenjaku grinned at the attack. Rika's command unleashed a shockwave that moved in a straight line.
The ground turned into a half-circular trench that stretched on for 4 kilometres. The trench was about twenty metres deep and fifty metres wide.
Kenjkau grinned at the showcase of power that her now full power did. Letting out a satisfied sigh, Kenjaku turned to Yuta's body and strung him onto his shoulder as he summoned a flying curse.
Swoosh!
The two sorcerers left the scene, leaving an entire city destroyed from their battles, with scars that will never heal, and thousands upon thousands of people dead.
Kenjaku got back to Japan, and upon entering their hiding place, Kenjaku noticed that Itadori was awake. He was struggling to free himself from his prison as he tried to escape.
Boom!
Yuji's punch made the ice dent and break into pieces before Uraume fixed the prison. Glaring at Yujiu, Uraume rushed at him and hit his stomach with a palm attack.
Yuji coughed out blood before his entire body, except for his head, was frozen. Yuji immediately started shaking from the chilling bite seeping into his body.
"Now, now, Uraume. Be gentle with my son." Kenjaku sneered with a smile as he placed Yuta on the ground. Uraume scoffed at Yuji before turning to Yuta.
"Not bad for a vessel. This boy will be a good sacrifice for Lord Sukuna." Uraume said as she sensed Yuta's overwhelming cursed energy. It was only below her master.
"Put his body into the ritual bath and make sure that it works, especially on the soul," Kenjaku said, and Uraume took Yuta before moving to a bath that released a vile stench.
It was a bath of cursed blood and body parts, each part of a grade 1 curse. The number of grade 1 curses in the ritual was in the hundreds. Bleeding them out and having them fight each other to death, only to then throw them into the ritual.
This ritual was more potent than the ritual Sukuna used for Megumi's body. Yuta was in an even worse situation than Megumi due to what happened.
Yuta did not have Maki this time, and losing Rika permanently would not be ideal. Plus, he was already suicidal not even a year ago, so it will not be anything good for his soul.
Splash!
Uraume threw Yuta's body into the bath as she stripped his clothes and watched as his body was immediately attacked by the countless curses and wills in the ritual.
"That should take care of it," Uraume muttered.
