Night Of Horrors.(2)

WHOOSH!

In a flash, all of the sorcerers attacked at once, causing a symphony of lights to light up the night sky.

'Grow and multiply.'

Using his cursed technique, Jin multiplied his staff several times over and caused it stretch in the direction of every sorcerer present, surprising them greatly.

"All of you, dodge!"

The woman in charge of them, Utahime, shouted as she barely managed to avoid the staff mid-air.

But, they didn't account for one thing.

Jin could make the staff retract at even greater speed.

WHOOSH!

Most of them had barely managed to dodge the first thrust before several more came out at incomprehensible speeds, battering the sorcerers away like flies.

Clap.

Todo suddenly appeared in place of one of his staffs and clotheslined Jin with brutish force.

"Heh."

In response, Jin turned into a swarm of snakes, wrapping himself around all of Todo's limbs.

"What the-?"

Before Todo could even react, one of the snakes lunged at his head, opening its mouth to reveal a human arm equipped with a staff.

In the same motion, the staff extended at Todo's forehead sending him flying out of the building.

"Todo!!"

Noritoshi sent out several blood tipped arrows at the two, causing Jin to transform into a large flock of crows.

"Tch!"

Noritoshi changed the trajectory of the arrows in an attempt to chase him, but red lightning surrounded the crows, increasing their speed drastically.

It was a failed endeavor.

The amount of crows present was so much that Noritoshi could only hear the sound of wings beating before he found his body being dragged high up into the sky, higher than any skyscraper within the city.

Most of the crows suddenly fused themselves together, forming two Jin's. The real one, and of course, a clone.

Noritoshi, struggling to regain his sense of direction, suddenly found himself at the tip of a lightning arrow that Jin had fired, sending the sorcerer flying down into the ground below.

In the next motion, Jin grabbed his clone by the leg and threw him into Momo, the girl who was trying to keep a safe distance on her broom, seemingly trying to find a moment to strike from afar.

But her luck had run out.

Seeing what Jin was doing, she quickly tried to fly away, but the clone suddenly arrived in front of her in a flash of lightning and drop kicked her in the chest, sending her careening off of her broom.

Grabbing the broom, Jin impaled the girl in the chest with it and stomped her down, sending her flying into the ground below.

"Momo! Noritoshi!"

Mai screamed nervously as she struggled to find an opening to place a shot with her pistol.

"C-calm down, Mai! Don't lose your head in this situation!"

Utahime shouted profusely as she pushed the rubble off of herself and tried to recover the damage from Jin's staff attacks.

But, Jin had already seen through their weaknesses. This was battle was lost before it even started.

BOOM!

A crow suddenly appeared behind Mai and turned into a clone of Jin, who grabbed her by the neck and immediately exploded in a grand flash of red lightning.

"Mai!!!"

Utahime sent out a rain of cursed tags and chanted an incantation, summoning a grotesque shikigami that sent out pulses of cursed energy.

'I need to sense where he is! His speed is too much! If only-'

Like a ghost, Jin suddenly appeared in front of her, swatting away the shikigami and grabbing the woman by the neck, all in one motion.

"M-mechamaru...y-you must fight back! Don't let him...win!"

Utahime struggled to escape from Jin's clutches but his grip was just too strong. As was said before, this was a failed endeavor.

"You...you're too important to die here. You know too much. It would be much better if I...yes, I'll just do that instead."

Snakes coated in a purple aura suddenly emerged from Jin's body and slithered into Utahime's mouth and other orifices.

Jin dropped her on the ground and watched as she struggled and clutched on her own neck for life, with black veins infused with glints of purple traveling across her body.

"Welcome to the family, Utahime. When you wake up, go help your comrade. She might need you. Heh..."

Jin put his hands in his pockets and jumped out of the building and started heading towards the train station through the rioting crowd of people.

"...my cursed technique has matured immensely. From just perceived force lightning, to radiation bombs, now it has turned inward, revealing another aspect of its true power, transmutation on an absolute level. Compared to this, every other cursed technique seems like a joke."

Jin laughed as he sauntered down the stairs on the station, looking forward to the grand battle ahead.

"Now, time to end Satoru Gojo's legend...permanently."

[9:00 pm. At Meiji-Jinguemae Station. Another curtain had suddenly appeared over Shibuya.]

Unaware of the level of destruction about to occur within the city, two figures could be seen running through the train station, killing transfigured humans with every step.

One was a beautiful woman with long, white, braided hair and young boy with hair of a similar color. It was clear that the two were related in some sense.

As the woman killed the last transfigured human with her giant axe, she smiled and sighed, saying calmly, "It's done. The new curtain is lifting. He must have killed the caster. Let's wait for Itadori before going down to B5F."

The boy seemed to have butterflies in his heart as he heard the woman's words, responding in a sweet voice, saying, "Alright, big sister~."

Just as she was about to lower her guard, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching...each step slow but steady.

A trail of smoke and a dim light shone themselves out of the darkness as the figure approached, causing Mei Mei to raise an eyebrow.

"A woman? You must be a curse user, then."

Emerging out of darkness was Nagi, her eyes shining with golden luster and her katana shimmering with purple light.

Holding it vertically in front of her face, Nagi unsheathed part of the blade and said calmly, "That uniform...that crest. Those crows. You must be the sorcerer that has been spying on us. Ha....to think I found you so easily."

In response, Mei Mei whipped her hair to the side and held her axe across her shoulder, smiling lightly.

"Ahh...that woman that recently started following Jin Itadori around. Tell me, when will I ever get the chance to meet him, the scourge of the sorcerer world?"

Nagi slowly unsheathed her blade completely and held it to the side, purple cursed energy flowing along it.

"Only if he deems it so. Otherwise, you will die and be forgotten just like everyone else. Raise and your weapon and try to survive."

CLANG!
