"Break Point!"
Ceres shouted at the top of his lungs, his katana thrusting forward at such a speed that white rings appeared around his sword and arm, resulting from piercing the sound barrier..
The air in front of the tip of Ceres's Katana gathered, forming a square physical platform. The air that had been condensed was enough to fill a city.
The sword was thrust into the platform, and Sukuna's eyes widened as he felt the threat from the attack. He jumped back, his body breaking the sound barrier as he distanced himself.
Boom!
The physical platform broke into pieces, and then Ceres's devil fruit power stopped working. The air rushed out like a bomb, disintegrating the ground in tens of meters around Ceres.
Sukuna felt the impact on his body, the shockwaves striking him and his internal organs. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and his body was sent flying like a missile as he slammed into the ground.
The shockwave passed him, and with it took Sukuna, the immense kinetic energy dragging him back at high speed. The bright light enveloped the town for a second before vanishing.
Sukuna struck the ground violently, then rolled, destroying everything in his path as he travelled hundreds of meters without stopping. Ceres watched this, panting as his body lay on the ground, mangled.
He was severely injured and would probably not live for much longer. The attack he had created just now exploded right in front of him, after all. Such an explosion tore his internal organs to shreds.
Swoosh!
Ceres opened his eyes with a heavy expression as a shadow was cast over his mingled body. Standing over Ceres was a lanky man, his eyes wet with tears streaming down his face.
Pierce kneeled beside his son, his hand resting on his bloodied chest as the livre card in his chest pocket burned away. Ceres smiled in his last second.
"Ceres, my son... To die before your old father... Such a tragic end for the parents," Pierce commented, wiping his tears as his face turned cold, his grey hair rustling in the breeze.
"Well, the least you can do is finish the cause of your death," Pierce said. He stood up, and he looked at the soldiers in the distance. He ordered them to take Ceres's body away before turning to Sukuna.
Boom!
The rubble on Sukuna exploded as he stood up, his body bruised and battered, though it was still in good condition to fight. He barely had a few broken bones and injured organs from the blast.
Pierce took his katana from the sheath, and he vanished in a burst of speed. Sukuna's eyes contracted, his body leaning back as he saw his reflection in the side of the blade as it passed above his face.
Shing!
A massive silver ki slash tore the air, travelling forward and slashing the ground into a trench that was hundreds of meters long. Sukuna jumped back, a smile on his face.
"A master swordsman? What a surprise to see one in this Kingdom, though I shouldn't be surprised since someone like Garp originated from here," Sukuna said, his eyes locked with Pierce.
"Ceres was my only son, and you took that from me. Now, I don't want to go on a rant about revenge, but I will have my revenge," Pierce said, taking a step forward, the ground caving in under his foot.
Crack!
A silver bolt of lightning rushed upon Sukuna, tearing the atmosphere apart as Pierce's eyes condensed into pinpoints. His katana swung from the top to the bottom.
"Demolition!" Pierce shouted, a bolt of Sword Ki striking Sukuna from the sky like a pillar of energy. Sukuna swung his hands to the top, and he sent out tens of tiny Dismantles, cutting the sword ki apart.
Boom!
Sukuna rushed forward, and Pierce did the same. They collided, the sword stopped by Sukuna as he sent a Dismantle against the blade, but that was not the problem.
Boom!
Sukuan coughed up blood as he was sent flying back, tearing the ground apart into a trench as a shockwave blew the dust and rubble away from his body.
Pierce was physically stronger, and by a much higher margin than Ceres. Sukuna chuckled, and without hesitation, he bumped his points that he gained into his template.
[Ding!]
[Sukuna template reached 5%!]

Boom!
A beam of cursed energy shot out from Sukuna's body as his strength and speed increased again. His cursed energy finally reached Special Grade level, and Sukuna grinned as he felt electricity run through his body.
Pierce narrowed his eyes, suddenly sensing that the danger emanating from Sukuna had increased to a point where he could kill him if he was not careful.
"What kind of abomination are you? I have never seen a race like yours," Pierce asked with hate as he looked at Sukuna's inhuman body shrouded by red and malicious cursed energy.
Four glowing orbs of red light peeked through the shroud as it vanished in an instant, revealing Sukuna with his injuries healed. The burst of cursed energy had boosted his cells, and they went into overdrive for a second.
The massive burst of cursed energy had instinctively made his body perform the Reversed Cursed Technique to heal himself. If it did not, his cells would have burst apart from the amount of cursed energy suddenly injected into his body.
"So, this is how it's done... I understand it now," Sukuna looked down at his palm, clenching it and unclenching it as he felt an unstable energy in his palm.
His Essence of the Blank had allowed him to grasp how to do the Reversed Cursed Technique without the need for him to unlock his template at a higher percentage.
Sukuna let out a sigh of satisfaction as he locked in. He smiled, his eyes locked with Pierce as he enhanced his body with his cursed energy, offering a better enhancement due to the amount of energy.
All Sukuna was focusing on was Pierce at the moment, and his body instinctively stepped forward, leaving the ground as it was as he burst forward.
Boom!
Pierce let out a groan of effort, his Ktana's side blocking the punch from Sukuna's fist, but he already knew it was a losing effort. Sukuna's three other arms took action.
One touched his sword, the other touched his hand, and the other touched his chest. Before Pierce could even register what was happening, he felt a cutting force appear on his body.
[Cleave!]
The slash automatically adjusted its power to Pierce's durability, and with a slice, it cleaved his body in half, his arm was cut in half, and his sword was sliced into pieces.
Boom!
The ground finally registered the force Sukuna used to blitz Pierce, and it collapsed into a crater, the shockwave blowing the dust around Sukuna, his hair rustling in the wind.
"He! Just another fish on my cutting board, now, where did those sweet little soldiers run off to?" Sukuna questioned with a grin, his teeth showing as he turned towards the High Town.
"Time to continue touching people~,"
