Chapter 21 - 20. The emergence of the strongest.
Chapter 20
I don't know how long I was unconscious, but judging by the still empty reserve and incredible fatigue, it was probably not more than a couple of minutes. I woke up because of the rumble nearby. My thoughts flowed extremely slowly, but I very quickly realized that the connection with Oz was lost, and the continuing sounds of the battle literally screamed that it was not over yet.
Despite how hard it was, I gathered my strength, stood up on my feet and went out into the corridor. The corridor was strewn with piles of ash, and through holes were visible on the ceiling. However, it was not this that worried me, but an obvious hole in the wall where the corridor turned to the right. From where I was, I could only see the edge of this hole, but the noise of the battle clearly showed where I needed to go, and I saw that 3 sources of cursed energy were located exactly there.
Leaning on the wall, I tried to move as quickly as possible. I didn't want the efforts I had made to go to waste, I had promised myself that I wouldn't let Itadori become the vessel of the two-faced one!
With each subsequent thought, anger and resentment flared up in me, and along with them a small spark of cursed energy, thanks to which I no longer walked, leaning on the wall, but as if having received a second wind, I began to run, taking out my bow on the go.
Having run to the hole in the wall, I saw how Megumi Fushiguro was lying wounded on the roof opposite, slightly in the distance, and in front of him, standing on her hind legs, Itadori was trying to push a huge curse into her mouth, who, resting his feet on the creature's teeth, did not allow it to achieve what it wanted, while holding the disgusting human finger by the slightly protruding skin with his teeth.
Seeing this, I understood that I had no more than 3 seconds to do something. I inflamed my negative emotions in the hope of receiving at least a little more energy.
- Don't you dare, Itadori! - I screamed desperately with tears in my eyes, seeing how he threw the cursed object above himself with one movement of his head, clearly intending to swallow it. While screaming, I used the cursed energy in the hopes of repeating the skill that I usually use with the Electro element. At the tip of the arrow, unlike the usual purple, a black circle with a cross appeared.
When I pulled the bowstring, the arrow flew like black lightning and pierced the monster's head and flew off somewhere into the distance.
