Chapter 118: Sealing

The stagnate air started to crackle wildly, as Yuta came to a sliding stop throwing a powerful punch directly at Mute's left eye, the punch soared towards Mute inching closer and closer until it narrowly missed grazing Mute's ear. 

Mute stared at Yuta's arm before the ball in the wheel landed red and an invisible attack slammed into Yuta's extended arm sending it flying back, dislocating. A loud pop rippled out as Yuta cried out before Rika slammed her claws into Mute's forearm sending him flying through the dust cloud. 

Mute watched through the dust as the silhouette of Yuta popped his arm back into place before his body vanished and reappeared throwing a kick directly at Mute's head that missed. The kick grazed across Mute's right shoulder before the direction of the kick changed, swiping towards the cursed tool balancing on Mute's index finger.

Yuta's heel was about to slam into the wheel before it suddenly vanished, reappearing on Mute's right shoulder, the spinning wheel twirled around Mute's neck before leaping onto Mute's other index finger still spinning. The ball rolled into a black slot before a massive explosion engulfed Yuta's body sending him launching back. 

Yuta flew through the dust cloud before he let out a loud scoff and extended his palm forward concreting his cursed energy into the cursed tool, the air surrounding Mute's cursed tool began to warp rapidly before it abruptly stopped from Mute glancing at it. 

Yuta smacked his lips annoyed while he flipped in the air coming to a sliding stop several feet away from Mute, while the wheel started to spin once again, Yuta was trying to shrink the distance between himself and the wheel, however, Mute quickly realized and nullified the technique. 

Mute stared at Yuta clearly bothered about something. The thing Mute was bothered by was something quite petty, he was bothered by the way Yuta used his cursed technique. Mute trained for years to master his cursed technique, and yet Yuta seemingly can use his technique near his level after only a few short seconds, of course, Yuta's use of the cursed technique is far more unrefined and uses much more cursed energy than Mute. 

Still, it annoyed Mute the way he was near his level, but it wasn't anything too surprising for Mute, Mute always knew Yuta was a prodigy of sorcery someone who was far more talented than himself. Of course very similar to a math equation, Yuta already had the formula on how to use Mute's cursed technique something Mute didn't have.

Yuta and Mute locked eyes, as the ball landed on red and a swift powerful attack slammed into Yuta's liver causing him to crouch over and vomit blood, Yuta covered his mouth as blood sept through the gaps in his fingers, Mute stared at this before his eyes widened and he dashed back dodging a set of massive claws. 

Rika relentlessly chased after Mute wildly swiping her claws at him while he dashed back gaining distance away from her. Mute causally dodged her barrage of attacks as her claws slammed into the road causing the asphalt to fly into the air, Mute came to a sliding stop and threw a swift punch directly at Rika's jaw but before the punch could land the air around Rika's body warped and she vanished.

Mute's eyes widened surprised as a massive shadow was cast over his body, Mute stumbled forward while glancing up and freezing massive claws that were hurling towards him. Mute took a deep breath before he twirled his body slamming a powerful kick into Rika's side propelling her through the air. 

Rika let out a screech of pain as they flew through the air, however, Mute wasn't listening to her cry of pain instead he was listening to a wheel spinning. The cursed tool on Mute's index finger oddly vanished but the spinning could still be heard, Mute listened to the sound before he looked back and saw Yuta sitting on the hood of a red car with the cursed tool.

" Red or black? " 

Said Yuta grinning at Mute, Mute just sneered at the comment before he spoke. 

" How about green? "

As Mute said this the ball suddenly rolled onto the single green slot in the wheel, the cursed tool cracked as bright yellow light admitted out of it, Yuta stared at the cracking wheel in shock before a massive explosion engulfed him destroying the car he was sitting on. The explosion lasted for several seconds until it finally faded revealing Yuta standing in a crater missing his left arm.

Yuta watched as the blood poured out of his missing arm while Mute spoke cockily.

" I was using my cursed technique, so I could rigged where the ball would land. Did you really think I couldn't feel your cursed energy warp around the tool? The only reason I let you take it, was because that cursed tool can only be used 7 times a day. "

Yuta didn't respond to the comment, instead, his missing arm slowly began to heal, Mute stared at Yuta's healing arm before he suddenly glanced to his right noticing someone enter into his curtain. 

" Of course, you would also be here. "...

As Mute saw someone enter into his curtain, back in the subway station. Gojo could be seen surrounded by dead cursed spirits, he was breathing heavily with sweat pouring down his face, however, Gojo wasn't worried about being tired, instead, he was staring at an odd box lying on the floor directly in front of him

Gojo was about to run away from the box until a sudden voice spoke. 

" Yo! Satoru! "

Gojo looked towards the voice in pure shock, it was someone he believed to be dead...
