Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

From the shadows, a brand-new, pale yellow puppet with red glowing joints slowly emerged. This was the mecha that Yukichi had rebuilt. Since his body had been repaired by the Horse Talisman, his control precision was now on a completely different level.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was still in surprise, the super-grade cursed spirit's giant hand, covered in black hair, suddenly smashed the huge gear beside it, and the broken iron pieces shot towards everyone like bullets.

"Red Binding!"

Kamo Kenji regained his composure, knowing that he needed to remain calm in the face of a Special Grade monster. He aimed a blood arrow from his fingertip precisely at the cursed spirit's ankle; the blood transformed into strong chains upon contact with its target, forcibly restricting the monster's movement.

"Mitsubo, Omamori!"

"Yes!" Miwa Kasumi understood immediately and turned back. She didn't attack, but instead stood in front of Kamo, whose spell hadn't been fully activated. "Simplified Domain - Draw Sword!" The sword energy sliced ​​through the air, knocking down all the gear fragments flying towards them.

At the same time, Mayi kept firing her revolver.

"Bang! Bang!"

Each bullet accurately struck the head of the top-tier cursed spirit. Although it did not cause any real damage, she only needed to use the moment the cursed power exploded to interfere with the opponent's vision and senses, creating an opening for others.

"Now, with Kokichi!"

"Great Exorcism Cannon - Rapid Fire!"

A blinding blue beam of light erupted from the palm of the pale yellow mecha. Thanks to the high-precision control afforded by its intact body, the beam from the mecha firmly suppressed the cursed spirit's arms as it attempted to retaliate.

However, being a top-tier cursed spirit, it sensed the threat and let out a piercing screech. Its black fur stood on end like steel needles, and a dense cursed power formed a dark red force field around it, allowing it to stand upright against the blue beam of light. It swung its head, which was covered in compound eyes, and several black blades condensed from cursed power shot out, aiming directly at the foremost mechanical pellet.

"Don't even think about succeeding!" Kamo Noriyuki's eyes blazed with bloodlust. In an instant, he activated "Crimson Scale Leap," his body temperature and pulse soaring to their limits. His figure appeared like a phantom in front of the mecha.

He waved his hands, and the blood threads that sprang from his fingertips intertwined in the air to form a net: "Crimson Binding - Iron Net!"

The black blade formed from cursed power struck the blood net, producing a piercing scraping sound. Kamo groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth; clearly, taking the blow head-on had been extremely taxing on him.

At the same time, the first day of the twelfth month moved, and he came to the side of everyone.

He didn't have the rising magical power of a sorcerer, but he exuded a heat wave that slightly distorted the space around him.

This was also the first time that December 1st had used the Dragon Talisman in actual combat. He was unsure of the talisman's specific power. He was afraid that the talisman wouldn't be enough to damage the special-grade curse spirit, and even more afraid that the damage would be too high and affect his companions and himself.

He radiated intense heat, and boiling steam formed a white mist around him. "Cooperate with me, help me make an opening."

Seeing this, the mechanical ball spewed steam from the exhaust vents on its back, and all the joints of the mecha worked under extreme strain. It charged forward, its arms transforming into massive mechanical claws that gripped the cursed spirit's shoulders, forcibly fixing its enormous body in place: "Great Exorcism Cannon—Full Power!"

Blue energy exploded in the spirit's chest, peeling away its charred flesh layer by layer to reveal a constantly pulsating dark purple core inside.

"Hundredfold Blood Piercing!" Kamo Kenki seized the opportunity, clasped his hands together, and the bloodline that had been accumulating to its limit shot out like a laser, precisely piercing through the last layer of defense and forcibly tearing a gap in his chest cavity.

The super-grade cursed spirit let out an angry and desperate roar, but at this moment, all the spells cast by everyone at Kyoto School acted like locks, pinning it firmly to the spot.

On the first day of the twelfth month, his right hand was loosely clenched, and crimson light condensed into the shape of a thorn in his palm.

This time, instead of the large-scale fire wave he unleashed, he produced a compressed golden-white beam of flame. The beam roared from December New Year's palm, cutting straight into the cursed spirit's body through the opening created by Kamo's attack.

"Boom!"

A violent burst of heat energy erupted from within, and the massive body of the Superior Cursed Spirit resembled an overheated reactor, with blinding white light emanating from every inch of its black fur.

A heatwave swept through the entire abandoned factory. Kamo Noriyuki used his blood shield to shield Miwa, while Mai was thrown back several steps by the blast, staring in horror at the rising mushroom cloud.

The first day of the twelfth lunar month was also shaken back by the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Click".

The mechanical watch on his wrist showed 9:00.

The aura within his body shifted from intense heat to nothingness, the dragon talisman extinguished, and the dark green light of the snake talisman slowly filled his consciousness.

"Is it over?" Miwa Kasumi stared blankly ahead. Where the Superior-grade cursed spirit had stood, only a giant crater ten meters in diameter remained, the air thick with the stench of burning.

"I've saved up for so long, and it's all gone in an instant." December 1st collapsed onto the ground, her face deathly pale.

At this moment, December was indeed extremely weak, not because of the depletion of his spell power, but because his physical condition was really weak under the influence of other spells.

The mechanical maru slowly approached, its pale yellow armor shell slightly warm. Yukichi, watching the frail boy on the screen, was secretly astonished by his abilities.

He knew that without everyone's desperate suppression, December New Moon would have had a hard time accurately piercing the cursed spirit with that attack. But the destructive power this kid displayed at the last moment still shocked him, not to mention his superb healing abilities and soul attacks. At this moment, Yukichi felt that the more he learned about the person in front of him, the more secrets he would uncover.

"This power..." Kamo Kenki released "Hundredfold Armor," and the remaining blood on his fingertips dripped down between his fingers, drying instantly on the dry ground. His usually squinty eyes opened slightly, staring intently at December Shuo sitting on the ground.

As the heir of the Kamo family, one of the three founding families, he had seen countless powerful techniques, but this kind of pure and unadulterated "physical thermal energy" was something he had never heard of before.

Miwa Kasumi sheathed her sword, patting her chest with lingering fear. In that instant, if it weren't for Kamo's blood shield and the precise suppression of the mechanical ball, she even suspected she would have been vaporized along with that terrifying white light.

"Hey, December, tell me honestly, is this really your spell?" Zhenyi walked to the edge of the pit, looked at the almost crystal clear pit wall, and turned to question her.

"Senior, you think too highly of me." December Shuo leaned back and sprawled unceremoniously in the ruins, her voice weak as if she had just run 10,000 meters. "I am also a cursed being. I can store cursed power indefinitely and release it all at once with a fire wave technique. This is the cursed power I've been saving for a long time, and now it's completely depleted. I request to slack off on all the missions from now on."

It was the hour of Si (9-11 AM). The dark green light of the snake talisman shone in his sea of ​​consciousness. The snake talisman granted him ultimate concealment. In this state, he also completely hid his already meager magical power.

"But we haven't noticed that your spell power is that high before," Miwa Kasumi asked at the right time.

"That's because the fluctuations in the curse power I stored were extremely low, so much so that even the Six-Eyed One needed to observe carefully to detect them."

"Useless is useless. All that effort for this little bit of sweat." Although Zhenyi said it with disgust, she still threw the lightly scented handkerchief at his face. "Wipe your sweat off, it's disgusting."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he took the handkerchief, chuckled, wiped his face haphazardly without a care, and then casually stuffed it into his pocket.
