*??? POV*
'Disaster flames My cursed technique allows me to generate and control volcanic flames and lava.The maximum temperature I can reach is 1,400 °C. A normal human would have died from that attack...'
We were observing his fighting style the whole time. Conclusion?
'Inexperienced...' He fights Purely by instinct, like an animal, However His fighting style improves in real time with each fight.
"His potential is terrifying..." Looking at my hand, which he had cut off...
"Jujutsu sorcery..."
My body freezes, no air passes through my lungs.
'How does he know that? It's not something just anyone would know.' Instinctively, I use reverse cursed energy, healing my hand.
"My name is Atlas, what's yours?" His voice, There's something about his voice that makes me uncomfortable.
"Kate..." I expanded my senses and I feel that Jasmine He's protecting Christine further back, great.
"Kate... Have we met before?"
Before I could answer, I heard a gunshot, and his head snapped back, but when his head returned to its place, nothing, no bullet mark, no bruise, nothing.
His gaze shifts, from confusion to neutrality to... hurt.
*AtlasPOV*
"Dad..." no... 'You're not my dad anymore.' I don't say those words, I don't need to.
"... " Without saying a word, he targets Kate... His plans are thwarted; I create an air barrier around her and the other two.
"Recover, and run, I can see how much you want to protect the little girl..." Without waiting for a response, I use my heat vision and chop off the head of a sniper in another building.
Just to be safe, I freeze the whole building.
[Analysis of cursed technique pending, waiting time: 30 minutes...]
As I crouched down to jump, I was interrupted by a wolf... a big-ass wolf.
Trying to bite my head off, I grab his jaws and try to throw him into the air, but something grabs my left arm, forcing me to release his upper jaw.
But Alice manages to hold it for me, and looking at what pulled my arm, I'm faced with a kind of frog-man.
Spears of lava erupt from the ground, impaling both the wolf and the frogman.
As they are impaled, I cover their bodies, transforming them into statues, my perfect puppets.
*KatePOV*
This unease, this feeling of familiarity, is like being in the presence of...
Turning my gaze to Christine, I see what we all expected... An innate admiration.
A failed reincarnation, Uraume's soul cannot fully reincarnate... 'She's more of a successor than a reincarnation...'
'We're not very different...' Our human identities come into conflict with our experience as curses.
To make matters worse, we're female. Curses don't exactly have a defined gender, although there are exceptions, of course.
Female hormones can make us somewhat emotionally unstable. Making hasty decisions, easily lapses in attention, etc.(A/N: My sister told me this 😇)
"Kate... it's him..." I wish I didn't know who she's talking about, so I ask again, "Are you sure?"
Without any hesitation she replied, "Yes, that's Master Sukuna!!"
