Chapter 44 - Chapter 41: The Rabbit and the Volcano

​The Mountain Pass.

​"How?" Jogo sneered. "You plan to fight me while protecting these burdens?"

​"Humans these days are arrogant."

​If Sukuna's Vessel (Yuji) and the Target (White Zetsu) weren't standing behind him, Jogo would have incinerated them instantly.

​"Don't worry," Mirai smiled gently. "Do whatever you want."

​"Because you... are weak."

​BOOM!

​The ground exploded beneath Jogo's feet.

​"You brat! You're asking for it!"

​Jogo punched Mirai. His fist went straight through Mirai's head.

​No impact? Jogo blinked. I blew his head off... but there's no blood?

​"Yuji Itadori," Mirai said calmly, his head perfectly intact. He caught Jogo's wrist.

​"White Zetsu told me about you. No Cursed Technique, but excellent physique."

​WHAM!

​Mirai drove his knee into Jogo's stomach.

​"GAH!"

​Jogo's single eye bulged. Purple blood sprayed from his mouth. He curled up like a shrimp.

​"Basic Cursed Energy reinforcement," Mirai lectured as he punched Jogo's face. "Focus your energy. Strike with intent."

​SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

​Purple blood flew everywhere. Mirai beat Jogo like a drum.

​The students stared, dumbfounded.

​"Strong..." Yuji whispered.

"Super strong," Nobara gasped.

​If they hadn't felt Jogo's terrifying aura earlier, they would have thought Mirai was bullying a Grade 4 curse.

​"Focus. Absolute focus."

​Mirai grabbed Jogo by the arm and spun him around.

​CRACK!

​A whip kick broke the sound barrier. Red and black lightning flashed.

​BOOM!!!

​Jogo was launched into the mountainside. The impact created a massive crater.

​Mirai looked at the severed arm he was still holding. He tossed it into his Kamui Dimension.

​"Discard unnecessary emotions," Mirai said, wiping his hands. "Maintain a pure offensive mindset."

​"Thank you, Sensei!" Yuji shouted, taking notes mentally.

​"As for you, Megumi," Mirai turned to Fushiguro. "Your control over the Ten Shadows..."

​RUMBLE!

​The crater exploded. Lava erupted into the sky like fireworks.

​"AHHH!! YOU BRAT!!"

​Jogo roared, flying down from the mountain on a wave of magma.

​"I'm going to tear that fake smile off your face!"

​He was furious. He had been humiliated.

​"Sensei! LAVA!" Yuji screamed, pointing at the tsunami of molten rock heading toward them.

​"Megumi," Mirai continued calmly. "Don't rush to tame new Shikigami. Explore the potential of the ones you have."

​He formed a hand seal.

​"Rabbit Escape."

​Shadows boiled.

​Ten. A hundred. A thousand. Ten thousand.

​An army of Rabbit Escape Shikigami surged from the ground. They weren't just cute bunnies—they were a tidal wave of shadows.

​CRASH!

​The sea of rabbits collided with the sea of lava. They piled up, body over body, creating a wall that stopped the magma dead in its tracks.

​Megumi stared blankly. Rabbit Escape... can do that?!

​"NOT OVER YET!" Jogo screamed.

​He summoned hundreds of Ember Insects. They buzzed like angry hornets, aiming for the students.

​"Nue," Mirai whispered.

​SCREECH!

​Lightning tore the sky. A massive Nue (far larger than Megumi's) swept down, frying the insects instantly.

​Jogo landed, panting. He looked at Mirai with fear.

​His attacks are heavy. My attacks phase through him. His Shikigami are monsters.

​I can't win like this.

​"Die!" Jogo unleashed a massive blast of fire, engulfing Mirai.

​But Mirai walked out of the flames unscathed, the fire parting around him like water.

​How?!

​CRACK!

​Mirai shattered Jogo's right arm again.

​Jogo scrambled back. He healed his arm instantly.

​I have to end this now.

​Jogo clasped his hands together. Cursed Energy flared.

​"Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
