This scene was also seen by Ryu Ishigori, who had returned to the battlefield.
"Oh? Interesting, he survived that attack intact?"
Even he wasn't sure he could have taken that hit head-on.
At this moment, the left side of his face was red and swollen, and his nose was slightly crooked.
He looked a bit miserable but the signature rocket hairstyle on his head remained unchanged.
Ryu Ishigori casually placed his hands in his pockets and leaped to the top of the skyscraper, forming a pincer attack with Uro Takako against Kazuma.
His intense gaze locked onto Kazuma, his brain analyzing rapidly.
Could it be that this guy's technique allows him to swap positions with his weapon? And instantly, at that?
The punch earlier was too fast—even for someone of his strength, it had caught him off guard.
Fortunately, his combat instincts had kicked in, allowing him to mobilize his cursed energy for defense in time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been some flesh wounds.
In four hundred years, this was the first time someone had made him feel pressured.
"You're quite shameless." Kazuma glanced at Ryu Ishigori behind him.
Then, he looked up at Uro Takako in the sky, a look of disbelief crossing his face.
She casually lifted her bangs, her lips curving slightly.
"You're pretty good at using spatial abilities. Unfortunately, I seem to be able to do the same."
Just as she finished speaking—
The Mangekyo pattern in Kazuma's left eye rotated, locking onto its target.
Kamui!
Behind Uro Takako's head, space twisted, forming a strange vortex.
Uro Takako's eyes widened in alarm, every hair on her body standing on end.
A strong sense of death swept over her, and at the critical moment, she swiftly raised her hand—manipulating the surrounding two-dimensional plane.
Snap!
Space twisted and detonated. Uro Takako's ears were contorted like twisted noodles.
Then, an irresistible force ripped them off.
What?!
Feeling the searing pain and blood gushing from her wounds, she immediately retreated hundreds of meters, her gaze locked onto Kazuma in utter disbelief.
He also knows spatial techniques?!
And worse, his attacks had no warning signs before launching.
If she hadn't forcibly deflected the attack's trajectory just now, she'd be dead.
She'd have become a headless corpse.
Too strange. Attacks without any warning...
Could it be that... his control over space is better than mine?!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Uro Takako might not be the strongest in the entire Jujutsu world, but when it came to space, no one understood it better than her.
On the other side, Dhruv Lakdawala and Kurourushi, who were fighting against Yuta, were also stunned by this scene.
Even they were terrified of Uro Takako's abilities, especially her deadly space-based techniques!
But now, she had actually lost in a battle of space manipulation?!
As the two reeled from shock, Yuta's katana struck.
The overwhelming pressure of cursed energy pierced through their defenses.
Kurourushi cursed internally.
Who the hell are these two?!
Each one is more monstrous than the last!
"Dhruv Lakdawala, are you still going to keep holding back?" Kurourushi spat.
"Hmph. I don't need you, a cursed spirit, telling me what to do."
Despite saying that, Dhruv subtly strengthened his offensive.
Uro Takako, a battle-hardened warrior from a century ago, quickly adapted after analyzing the situation.
Almost instantly, she appeared in front of Kazuma, initiating close combat.
Close-quarters combat was her specialty.
As an assassination master, every one of her strikes targeted vital points—each one meant to kill!
Ryu Ishigori, still standing motionless on the rooftop, observed the battle closely.
His expression shifted from initial disdain to seriousness.
The cursed energy within him subtly gathered at the top of his head.
"Bomb!"
Uro Takako's fist smashed down towards Kazuma's head.
The space in front of Kazuma twisted and then suddenly exploded.
But Kazuma's figure blurred for a split second, and remained completely unharmed.
What?!
Just as Uro Takako's eyes widened in shock, Kazuma's counterattack was already in motion.
"Listen to me—space is too complicated for you to grasp."
However—
Kazuma's Kamui attack, which should have landed perfectly, missed.
He raised an eyebrow, quickly realizing the reason.
Uro Takako had once again altered the two-dimensional plane.
The distortion had shifted her position, causing a visual misalignment.
It seemed like he had locked onto her head but in reality, his target had been shifted away.
The next second—
Uro Takako grinned, clenched her fists, and suddenly exerted force.
Whoosh!
She dragged the space in front of her toward Kazuma, as if pulling a bedsheet.
"When it comes to space—
No one is stronger than me!"
Kazuma, suddenly yanked into close range, felt his right arm grotesquely twist by the space distortion.
His limb now resembled a warped noodle.
However, Kazuma remained completely unfazed.
Because he knew that he was in the Kamui dimension and not in the real world.
The only reason his arm appeared distorted was purely a visual trick caused by space warping.
With his Kamui, as long as he didn't actively attack, he was untouchable.
However, Uro Takako had no intention of attacking directly.
Instead, she suddenly shouted—
"Rocket Head! How long are you going to wait?!"
Despite their pride, none of the four were fools.
Kazuma and Yuta's strength was beyond what they had expected.
If they continued fighting alone, they'd be picked off one by one.
"Ugh, how annoying."
A calm voice echoed from behind.
Kazuma noticed Uro Takako's pupils contract. A blinding white light suddenly burst forth behind him.
"Granite Blast!"
Ryu Ishigori, who had been biding his time, refused to admit Kazuma's strength.
But for the sake of the battle's outcome, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A devastating shockwave of cursed energy erupted from the top of his head.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion sounded.
A dazzling shockwave ripped through the battlefield—
Like a dam breaking, it devoured everything in its path, obliterating entire buildings.
In an instant, it was right behind Kazuma!
"Kazuma! Watch your back!"
Yuta, who was holding off Kurourushi and Dhruv, felt the monstrous attack and immediately called out.
Yet, Kazuma remained unmoved.
He turned to Uro Takako—smiling.
"Kamui."
As soon as he spoke, Kazuma vanished into a swirling vortex.
...???
Where did he go?!
Uro Takako was horrified!
But she had no time to think because the cursed energy cannon was now hurtling straight toward her.
"Damn it!"
She ripped a chunk of space itself and threw it up as a shield.
