Chapter 10 - Season 1 Episode 9: Cannibal

"Y-You s-shouldn't h-h-have c-come!" The killer with a brown bag over his head says in a timid, soft, and afraid voice.

"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" He starts bashing his head with the dull side of his butcher knife. We look on in horror and exchange a look of confusion.

"Stop fighting you two, there's food right in front of us! Remember your table manners!" He says now in a confident and eloquent voice. He begins twirling his knife and stops striking a horrific pose. He digs his fingers into the cement and propels himself toward us.

He teleports behind Haru and raises his knife imbuing it with massive cursed energy.

"What a pretty girl she'll be a perfect meal!" He screams laughing and begins to slash down. Haru quickly notices and dodges the slash, she imbues her foot with cursed energy, spins, and kicks his side. He barely budges and holds his hand out in an open palm, cursed energy disperses from his palm.

"Cursed Shockwave!" The energy blast sends Haru flying down the street and she lands perfectly on her feet. Bobu and I exchange a look as we pull out our weapons. This time bobu didn't resort to his usual Knuckle Dusters, it was a pair of Tonfas.

"Cursed Arsenal: Lich Banes!" The body of the weapon was purple with a red spike at the front of each. He dashes at him and I follow right behind him. Bobu lowers his body preparing for a gut punch and I jump on his back imbuing my sword with cursed energy. I partially slash his face cutting the bag letting part of his face leak through and Bobu lands a direct punch to the Killer's stomach making him stumble. Upon my descent, I carve my blade down his body as I fall. Naofumi runs toward the killer, flips above him, and plants his hand on top of the killer's head.

"Cursed Teqniqre: Max GeForce!" The killer is sent through the ground in a huge shockwave sending a dust cloud through the road. We watch the crater closely anticipating his next move. He emerges from the crater with the bag completely destroyed. We witness him beating himself once more.

"KILL THEM KILL THEM EAT THEM WHOLE!" he roars as his cursed energy shoots and expands through the street as of it were an atomic bomb. He jumps into the air and the cursed energy begins to swirl around him like a hurricane of malice.

"CURSED TECHNIQUE: BLOODLUST: MASSACRE!" The cursed energy becomes red like blood and forms into sickle-like blades and flies toward us destroying everything around us. He lands on the ground and imbues his fist with cursed energy and dashes at Naofumi and punches. Naofumi quickly reacts and blocks it with his sword, shattering it again.

"Again!?" Naofumi says in an annoyed tone and dashes away and Bobu twirls switching positions with him. Bobu unleashes a flurry of punches on the killer. When he stumbles Bobu jump and shoves his fist into the killer's face sending him into a nearby shop. Bobu lands and resumes his stance and his cursed energy flows.

The killer quickly emerges and with his knife imbued with cursed energy he scrapes the ground and once it arises a current of cursed energy shoots through the ground and into Bobu. I dash and take his place, when I get in close he turns away and I get a good look at his face, it's horrid. Its many faces are plastered one by one and with numerous markings on them. My pupils dilate and I dash away instantly, he purses me and grabs my head, and knees my stomach. He takes my head and slams me to the ground twice and kicks me into a glass window. He hunts me further and slashes and I manage to quickly recover and return to the team.

"CURSED TECHNIQUE: BLOODLUST: CARVE!" My arm spurts with blood and I fall to the ground. He then kicks my face and I tumble into a fire hydrant, A sharp pain shoots through my spine and I cough up blood. I get up and hold my sword out and imbue it. I dash to the killer and clash weapons over and over with him. I dodge three slashes and he uses the carve attack and the blood spurts from my sides. It hurts and I unleash a flurry of slashes at his chest and I send supersonic cursed energy across the blade and I thrust it into him.

"SUPERSONIC THRUST!!!" He doesn't budge; it had no effect. He smiles with all of his different faces and prepares to slash me open. I spot Haru flying above me and holding multiple senbon in her hand. She throws them at the killer quickly.

"STOP!" The needles stop.

"MULTIPLY!" The needles increase immensely.

"IMBUE!" The needles swirl up into a blue flame of cursed energy.

"FIRE!!!!" The needles shoot instantly at the killer penetrating his body and setting him on fire. He drops me and I fall to the ground and dash away.

"Hey Naofumi, did one of those faces look familiar?" I ask Naofumi.

"Yeah, it was-" Naofumi suddenly stops."Sterling..." Naofumi says in a horrified voice.

"He's some sort of Jujutsu cannibal!" He says quickly

"What does that do for him?" I ask. The killer begins laughing while burning.

"DING DING DING! MY CURSED TEQNUIQUE IS CANNIBALISM! THE MORE SORCERERS I EAT THE MORE PERSONALITIES I GAIN, MAKING MY CURSED TECHNIQUE MORE VERSATILE!"

"He's lying..." I say to Naofumi; he then looks at me pensively.

"How can you be so sure?" Naofumi says.

"Well, it's still a hypothesis but... Once you consume human flesh you begin to become more delusional it's no different here... But maybe the cursed energy is only stimulating the madness." I state. I still don't know much about Jujutsu but I know it's unlikely that he knows multiple cursed techniques.

"Let's hope you're right!" Bobu says.

Naofumi, Bobu, and I look at each other simultaneously and grab our weapons.

"STAY PUT!" Haru says as the killer is forced to his knees. We dash at him all together keen on one target our minds were all together focused as one. Then at the moment of impact, a distortion in space occurs; we applied cursed energy the moment our physical attack scathe his body. That same black lightning appears such as when Emily's dad used the same technique. It was my first...

"BLACK FLASH!" We all scream as we appear behind him with blood showering from the places of impact. He regurgitates blood and stands once more. His cursed energy was dwindled but still there, still even after the Black Flash. He looks at us with his scorched body and battered body. He smiles and begins to hit himself, again and again, this time blood began to pour from his cranium. He then had a full-blown meltdown and slams his head over and over again crying and pulling his hair. He takes hold of his plastered faces and rips them off one by one until it's a muscular-skeletal blueprint of what his face should be. He looks at us once more and shoves his hand through his other, completely impaling his hand, and a fountain of blood floods from the wound. He smiles his hideous smile.

"DOMAIN EXPANSION: SLAUGHTER HOUSE!"
