Backed against the wall, blood streaming from his eyes and mouth, Mahito was a grotesque sight to anyone who might see him in that state.

And Itadori, seeing him in that condition, could only smile with disdain.

He had often debated with himself about killing curses. It was always an internal discussion that resulted in a single answer: He didn't care.

But seeing Mahito agonizing with frightened eyes, he could say.

He did care.

He simply enjoyed it.

Seeing someone like Mahito suffer was too good.

And knowing that he had these strange thoughts, Itadori declared to himself.

Screw it.

Megumi had once told him that they were not heroes, they were sorcerers.

He couldn't agree more with that now.

!

When Mahito suddenly spat out numerous transfigured humans, Itadori narrowed his eyes as he saw him gather them all at once.

"Soul Multiplicity!"

And fusing them, the boy was surprised when the curse formed a humanoid figure full of muscles.

"Polymorphic Isomer of the Soul!"

Raising his fists, he immediately reacted when the brute lunged at him, skillfully parrying its fist that struck his defense with a heavy blow strong enough to make him retreat.

'This thing is strong.' Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed the opponent's fist and struck with a single, precise punch to the head, exploding it. 'But in compensation, it doesn't seem very resistant to damage-'

His monologue was interrupted by a strong punch to the side of his face, and Itadori quickly retreated to see two other mutants advancing towards him.

'Smart.' He praised, and retreating quickly, he blocked a flurry of attacks from the brutes. 'But it won't be enough to distract me.'

And noticing Mahito right behind him preparing a punch loaded with cursed energy, Itadori grabbed the two opponents by the throat and spread his technique through their bodies, cutting them into several pieces.

But this didn't distract Mahito, who, upon launching his punch intending to hit the sorcerer's back, was surprised when the boy jumped over his fist, countering with a precise kick to his neck that sent him rolling away.

"Damn!" Mahito cursed, quickly preparing other fortified humans.

Itadori saw this as a nuisance, quickly exploding their heads with precise punches before continuing his assault.

"Soul Multiplicity!"

But stopping when numerous deformed humans trembled chaotically in Mahito's hands, Itadori became alert.

"Body Repel!"

And seeing a sea of flesh spreading in all directions, Itadori quickly leaped to escape numerous mouths that tried to bite him.

"Let's go for round three, Itadori!!!"

Hearing the curse's voice beside him, Itadori turned just in time to see him advancing towards him.

'He used those simultaneous attacks to get close!' Noticing, the sorcerer raised his arms.

"Black..."

But hearing Mahito, his eyes widened when he realized that his defense wouldn't be enough.

"Flash!"

Boom!

The punch landed squarely on his defense, his body being launched far back until it collided with a wall of flesh, which immediately tried to devour him with teeth that suddenly appeared.

*Slash!

But touching the wall, he let his slashes spread, burning and cutting the flesh.

"That was close." He smiled, his vision drifting to his forearms that now showed a mark. "But I managed to reduce most of the damage."

Getting up, he soon noticed Mahito standing a few meters from him, his eyes narrowing as he saw the curse's cursed energy oscillate around him.

"I'm almost there." With those words, Mahito smiled excitedly, his body recovering from the previous damages all at once. "So give me more, Itadori!"

"..."

Itadori blinked silently upon hearing him, rubbing the back of his neck with a bit of embarrassment on his features. "That was a little weird, man."

Boom!

Jumping back when a flesh whip threatened to hit him, Itadori noticed Mahito advancing towards him with his arms in the form of whips swinging in all directions.

'Difficult attacks to predict.' Dodging with some difficulty, Itadori watched Mahito closely. 'He wants to get close and hit me like before.'

Blocking one of the whips, he quickly grabbed it and pulled Mahito towards him. 'But at this point, I'm more alert than ever.'

Punching when Mahito flew towards him, Itadori's eyes widened when Mahito exploded into smaller pieces, his true form reverting next to him and hitting his defense with a punch loaded with cursed energy.

'He's bolder after landing a Black Flash.'

Blocking another punch, Itadori tried to counter, but a smiling Mahito just ducked under his attack and hit him with a precise elbow.

It drew some blood from his nose, but Itadori wasn't shaken and promptly struck Mahito's solar plexus squarely, making him choke.

And with his fist loaded with cursed energy, Itadori prepared to unleash a devastating attack.

!

But he was caught by surprise when suddenly, his feet sank into the flesh floor, his head lifting to see Mahito smiling madly in front of him.

Boom!

Taking a full punch, Itadori rolled backward and got up immediately, wiping the blood from his nose.

But opening his eyes wide, he noticed how his vision from his right eye seemed affected, his fingers touching his forehead only to notice blood dripping from a cut.

"That's it!"

Frowning at Mahito's shout, he turned to see the curse holding his own face hysterically.

"I found... I found the true essence of my soul! My true form!"

Hearing that, Itadori let cursed energy dance around his hands, accumulating at an accelerated pace.

"Distorted Instant Spirit Body of Dismemberment!" And tearing off his own face, Mahito exploded into a mass of flesh.

Itadori's face filled with disgust, but surprise soon took its place when the mass of flesh gathered all at once, revealing a completely new form of Mahito.

'He clearly got stronger.'

With hardened skin and monstrous traits, Mahito seemed to have become what he always was.

A curse.

"After I kill you, I will continue to evolve." Licking his thumb disdainfully, Mahito smiled. "As you said, let's end this once and for all, Itadori Yuji!"

Seeing him full of confidence, Itadori could only sigh, his eyes opening while he didn't seem affected by his opponent's power increase. "Come on, Mahito."

!

Colliding with each other, Mahito was the first to attack with a strike from his new tail, Itadori grabbing it and throwing him away before pursuing him.

And landing on the ground, the curse turned in defense, promptly blocking Itadori's fist that lightly pushed him.

'I feel more resistance than before.' Dodging an attempt to cut him with the spike on his elbow, Itadori fiercely struck Mahito's ribs, making him twist before stepping back. 'But I can still break through his defense.'

'Besides, I don't only have my fists.'

Preventing himself from spitting blood, Mahito growled at being hit. After all, even finding his true form, Itadori was still a formidable opponent. He couldn't afford to let his guard down.

!

But raising his head, Mahito was surprised to see Itadori pointing at him.

"Dismantle!"

And feeling his instincts scream, Mahito moved seconds before a powerful slash flew towards him, splitting his arm in half.

"I have the advantage." Itadori declared confidently, not wasting time advancing towards a stunned Mahito.

Boom!
