"Well done, my brother!"
Seeing Yuji successfully land a Black Flash, followed by consecutive Black Flashes, Todo laughed and went forward to celebrate.
"Thanks, Todo."
Yuji looked at his hands, as if savoring something.
"I feel great right now. I've never felt this good."
Yuji clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease in his body.
"This is Black Flash, brother."
Todo patted Yuji's shoulder with satisfaction.
"Haha, feeling good?"
In front of the two, Shōkera, who had just been blown to bits, slowly stood up, his injuries rapidly recovering.
"You've already been hit by my potent venom. Before long, you'll be in unbearable pain, unable to move, and you'll only be able to agonizingly await death."
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Shōkera's insect compound eyes.
"How's your body now, brother?"
Hearing this, Todo looked at Yuji with a serious expression.
If Yuji's condition really was bad, he would eliminate this disgusting insect as quickly as possible, then take his brother for treatment.
"Don't worry."
Yuji patted his muscles.
"Although it hurts a bit, I'm in excellent condition right now. He's probably trying to scare us."
Aside from the intense pain at the wound, Yuji did not feel anything else abnormal.
As for the wound hurting, if it did not hurt, would it still be a wound? So, Yuji thought Shōkera was lying.
In reality, this was an effect of Yuji's physique, like a passive skill.
Due to Kenjaku's modifications, Yuji had been adapting to the terrifying Cursed Poison of Sukuna's fingers since childhood.
Therefore, Yuji's body had extremely high resistance to Cursed Poison.
And Shōkera's poison was essentially a type of Cursed Technique effect, falling within the scope of Cursed Poison.
Thus, for Yuji, who had maxed out poison resistance and EX poison tolerance, this amount of poison would be hard to use against him in a short time.
As for the pain.
Not to mention Yuji, this strong athlete, even Nobara and Junpei, who were relatively weaker among the current first-year four, had high pain tolerance.
Let alone Yuji.
"Impossible. I know, you're just putting on a brave front so your master won't worry."
Shōkera, unaware of the brotherhood between the two, still regarded Yuji as a subordinate thrown out by Todo to test his strength and create opportunities for him.
Now that his true form and abilities had been revealed, Todo had come out to check on Yuji.
Therefore, he interpreted Yuji's actions as an attempt to show off in front of his master.
Rumble.
"Gashadokuro!"
Just then, a huge explosion came from afar, and even the ground trembled slightly.
Shōkera turned his head and found that his comrade, Gashadokuro, had been engulfed by the explosion.
"Brother, it's time to go! We can't fall behind."
Seeing that the seemingly frail Muta Kokichi had defeated his enemy first, Todo could not wait any longer.
He was the strongest in Kyoto School, and it would not do to have no impressive achievements.
"Osu."
Yuji used Divergent Fist again.
This time, the flow of Cursed Energy was much smoother than before.
"Take this!"
Yuji punched Shōkera's insect face.
"Die!"
Seeing Yuji attack his handsome face again, Shōkera was enraged.
The cross spear in his hand thrust toward Yuji's heart.
Slap.
To Shōkera's surprise, the enemy in front of him suddenly changed from Yuji to Todo.
"Brother!"
Todo gripped Shōkera's long spear tightly with both hands, his arms bulging with veins.
Yuji leaped out from behind Todo and punched Shōkera's insect face again.
"Ahhh! I'll kill you."
Insect limbs, poisonous stinger, long spear.
Relying on his greater number of limbs, Shōkera actually fought Todo and Yuji to a standstill for a while.
Slap!
A clap sounded. Todo's figure suddenly disappeared, and Yuji reappeared in front of Shōkera.
Due to the difference in their sizes, the long spear grazed Yuji's body.
Bang.
Yuji's fist landed on Shōkera's face again.
"You bastard…"
Slap!
Bang.
Todo clapped again, swapping out Yuji, whose old strength had been exhausted and new strength had not yet emerged, and landed a prepared attack on Shōkera's insect abdomen.
Splat!
Shōkera exploded again.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
Clapping sounds continuously echoed through the arena. Todo and Yuji's positions constantly exchanged, and the changes in their body types and postures made it impossible to guard against.
Bang.
Shōkera blocked Yuji's fist, and his poisonous stinger thrust toward Todo, who had just clapped behind him.
An insect's compound eyes were composed of many small eyes, which gave Shōkera stronger visual abilities.
During the continuous beating he had just endured, Shōkera had already captured and familiarized himself with all the information about their movements and positions.
Now, it was his time to counterattack.
Slap!
"Hmph, I've already seen through your little tricks…"
Shōkera's words were cut short by a heavy blow again.
He used his life to show everyone that villains really do die from talking too much.
"You… why…"
Shōkera looked at Todo in disbelief.
Just now, he had clearly completely grasped the positions of the two and, through their movements, deduced three possible attack actions they might use next.
But why?
Why did that guy suddenly appear above his head?
'Could it be?'
A thought suddenly appeared in Shōkera's mind.
"You bastard, you can swap more than just people's positions!"
Shōkera looked angrily at the despicable Todo.
"Heh, you're only realizing that now?"
Todo sneered.
This was a trick Yuki had taught him, to play little games with Cursed Technique disclosure and usage.
This could effectively inflict heavy damage on enemies.
Shōkera was just like that, because he mistakenly believed that Todo's Cursed Technique could only swap the two of them and himself.
As a result, Todo suddenly appeared above his head, and a powerful kick almost drove his head into his chest.
'Will I lose?'
Shōkera suddenly felt fear.
If it were a few minutes ago, Shōkera most likely would not have felt afraid.
But after witnessing his comrade Gashadokuro's death, Shōkera became scared.
'Has the retreat signal not come yet? Damn it, why is that branch head so slow?'
Shōkera panicked, and his aura began to weaken.
Todo keenly seized the moment of Shōkera's wavering.
"Go! Brother!"
Shōkera looked up and saw that Todo had already rushed in front of him.
Shōkera frantically thrust his spear, his tail stinger also poised to strike.
Slap, slap!
Todo clapped twice in a row.
With the first clap, he and Yuji swapped positions.
Yuji deflected Shōkera's long spear and simultaneously grabbed his poisonous stinger.
With the second clap, Todo and Yuji swapped positions.
At this moment, Shōkera's guard was wide open.
"Ora Ora Ora!"
