Chapter 64: Chapter 55 FUSHIGURO!!! part 2
Just as the water ring dissipated, a purple electric current shocked Dante from the feet to the head. A dense black smoke screen rose, shrouding the chaotic scene. The sorcerers tried to use this essential time to run away from the scene, but their attempts were in vain, only getting a barrage of water that stopped their escape.
Observing the chaos, Megumi couldn't help but curse his dire situation. "Damn it... That guy won't stand a chance against those 3, and we already lost our escape route, but why is the girl taking so much to recover, and where is-"
Suddenly, An angry female voice roared, reverberating in their ears with raw fury, "FUSHIGURO!!!" The rainbow-haired girl emerged from the billowing smoke; she began panting heavily with a profound cut from the sword that she had just used to impale Toji. The sword was now penetrating her leg, and Toji was free-falling from the location.
Toji used the distraction to its fullest and hit Dante from behind with his own weapon when he blocked the electric current.
With the rainbow-haired girl now charcoaled and bruised, her looks and hair became a total mess, accentuated by her clothes, which now were tattered and torn, turning into battered rags... again.
The girl mid-air, without warning, began to vibrate with an unsettling intensity; abruptly, Dante moved from his position, now his hands being on a girl named Maki. Before she could even have time to process the information, her body met the hard concrete, cracking the floor from the sheer impact, leaving the girl coughing blood on the ground as she struggled to comprehend what had just transpired.
"One down." Dante grabbed the girl's glasses, replacing the old broken pair, and rushed to the young boy who summoned the bird and bunnies.
Without letting him finish his rush, a loud, unbearable sound filled his ears. He turned around to see Toji sharpening Playful Cloud against each other so that the tip of the weapon became pointed.
"Blunt to Piercing..." Dante muttered under his breath, his senses honing as he got in a sprinting position for the impending clash.
Dante knew that he needed to change the tide of the battle. This guy was stronger, and extending the battle would be bad, so he summoned all of his strength to unleash a devastating charge.
With an intense resolve, he sprinted towards Toji. Ignoring the sensory overload, he focused solely on his opponent, tightening his grip on his sword's hilt as he summoned every ounce of strength within him.
With an intense gaze, he launched himself at Toji, his wings trailing behind him like a multicolored ribbon. Toji met the charge head-on, but this time, Dante's attack was too powerful to be stopped with the injuries Toji carried.
The force of Dante's ferocious charge struck Toji like a thunderbolt, sending shockwaves through the air. As Dante's sword connected with Toji's defense, a resounding clash echoed through the station.
Toji staggered backward, his stance faltering under the sheer force of Dante's onslaught, being sent flying away. His muscles strained against the impact, the wall he crashed into cracking from the sheer force of the blow. For a fleeting moment, Toji's resolute defense broke.
But as the dust settled, Toji slowly regained his footing from the lethal attack, his breath ragged from the intensity of the clash. Despite the bruising force of Dante's attack, his perseverance remained unbroken.
Toji's grip tightened around Playful Cloud as he prepared to face the rainbow-haired girl head-on.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" Dante bellowed, with frustration evident in his voice as he prepared himself for another clash with Toji.
Before Toji could meet Dante in battle once more, a sudden attack of vines erupted from the ground, impaling him from all sides with relentless ferocity. The vines ensnared him in their grasp, rendering him immobile and vulnerable to attacks.
Jogo, taking the opportunity made by Hanami, blazed the place, completely engulfing Toji in a destructive pillar of flames, and to top it all off, a giant fish devoured the remains, making sure Toji was dead no matter what.
As he watched the brutal scene that signaled his demise, Dante thought to himself, "FINALLY! he is dead." However, as he was about to speak to Jogo, he was struck by an unsettling fact: "Wait... WHY HASN'T THE MESSAGE POPPED UP"
Dante's eyes turned to the fish to see how it began twisting and bending slightly. Dante, hoping for the worst, wrapped his fingers tightly around the hilt of the inverted spear of heaven.
His eyes were fixed on the spot where Toji should be, his mind racing with the understanding that every second counted. He knew that he had to act fast before his enemy could recover.
With the giant fish that engulfed Toji exploding from the inside, Dante lifted the spear high above his head, holding it like a javelin. He felt the weight of the weapon in his hands, the smooth surface of the metal cool against his skin. He took a deep breath, steadying himself, and with a gaze that edged to pierce the world, he prepared to throw.
Like a pitcher winding up for the perfect shot, Dante twisted his body, drawing back the spear. He felt the muscles in his arms and shoulders tense as he prepared to launch the weapon, aiming with precision at the spot where Toji should be.
And then, with all the strength he could muster, Dante released the sword. It flew through the air, a blur of silver and steel, hurtling towards its target like a bolt of lightning.
For a moment, there was silence. And then, with a resounding crash, the inverted spear of heaven struck its mark.
Toji fell to the ground, finished and dead, with the sword still embedded in his chest, followed by Dante panting and the sound of the system accompanied by a huge blue screen.

The typical rewards for fighting an enemy that is out of your league appeared, but what called his attention was a skill book that he unlocked and an item he dropped.
"What is this..."

Skill: Heavenly restriction (69%) (Toji Fushiguro)
Description: The Heavenly Restriction bestowed upon Toji Fushiguro is an enigmatic and rare binding, an intricate algorithm woven into the very fabric of his existence.
Item: Inventory curse
Description: The Inventory Curse, a spectral pact etched in shadows, coils around Toji's neck, a silent companion, both weapon and warden.

"SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY COMPATIBLE???"
Dante was exhilarated by the rewards. The amount of things he got already made it worth being at the grasp of death twice in a die, but he couldn't show any emotion on the outside, starting to fantasize about the hella of a story he was going to tell.
Jogo's voice brought him back to this world, "Let's end this and kill the rest of the sorcerers."
Dante nonchalantly and a bit fatigued, replied, "That won't take too long; let me enjoy my victory."
Seeing how the main threat was finally dead, Dante turned to the black-haired boy who was now running away from him. He commented with his voice lacing with exhaustion, "Could you get here to make my job easier? I just want to finish and sleep..."
The boy, desperate to escape, summoned a mountain of bunnies, using them as a makeshift platform to elevate himself above his reach. Dante watched in disbelief as the bunnies multiplied and grew larger, forming a towering mass almost reaching the roof.
Annoyed, I yelled, "Is useless, I'll just fly" Dante reached to his head, to clean the blood from his eyes, "Just please give up; no, seriously, I don't want to chase you. I already broke myself with Gojo and Toji guy," ending with a sigh.
Dante's sixth sense suddenly began ringing, thinking in his head "Huh?"
The black-haired boy, with his trembling breath, gave a huge smile. Dante's eyes widened as he watched the boy put his hands in a seal position. The aura he emanated began changing, fervently yelling, "WITH THIS TREASURE I SUMMON!"

Authors note:
First: Probably I'll upload 3 chapters this week (one per day; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) So enjoy! Because I won't upload any shit in like an entire week.
Second: 'Potential Man' finally did something useful. He summoned Mahoraga against 3 strong curses (Dagon, Jogo, and Hanami) and an anomaly (Dante)
Congratulations! *Imagine the Evangelion scene where everyone claps at Shinji and congrats him but instead of Shinji imagine Megumi and all the characters of Jujutsu Kaisen beside him doing the exact same thing*
*Sigh* At least he didn't summoned Mahoraga to stop a LVL 1 NPC blonde Femboy...
Also Poor Dante... If you watched the anime or manga you should know who is the next enemy.
(Small note that no one cares, say thanks to "TgNovels" his simple "Nice" motivated me a lot to finish this chapter.)
