Cursed to Infinity Chapter 21 (Patreon)

The yeetus deletus shout. When it wasn't nerfed via game logic, people had to remember that when spoken with full strength. It would smash living things so hard that their bodies would turn into bloody paste as like what happened to High King Torygg.
The flood dragon even with it's head decapitated, rolled around with its flesh regrowing for a minute as it used Reverse Cursed Energy to heal itself or something. But then what I feared happened.
A loud rush of air picked up with the minor flood dragon's hateful eyes that had regenerated turning fearful as it looked at me. As its flesh began breaking down from it's body into a blue and minorly gold energy that surged into me.
'Dammit... I kinda hoped this woudn't happen.' I thought with exasperation as Kamo came over with irratation clear on his face at seeing all the meat that they wanted from the Flood Dragon turning into energy that I absorbed.
Kamo stared at me for a long moment before he spat out. "Did you know this was going to happen?"
I shook my head as I felt the energy settle in and I could feel my cursed energy and spiritual stores of energy within myself had grown a decent bit. But I most certainly didn't ignore Kamo as I said in apology.
"I am sorry Kamo, I know my spiritual technique has a connection to dragons, but I didn't think a Flood Dragon would make it react... I forfeit any payment from this, and I will take on another non-dragon-themed job for your group without payment along with five priority healing sessions for you and your people for free."
At my admission and offered restitution Noritoshi Kamo's face relaxed with him slowly nodding. "Anyone here injured?!" He called out and a couple people came forward with less debilitating wounds and I took his non-verbal offer for what it was.
I began healing the people while Kamo's men loaded up the bleached bones, and scales of the flood dragon into the trucks with some people muttering about how this was actually easier due to not having to butcher the dragon and make all the enhanced animals come try to take a bite.
Mei Mei with her large axe resting on her shoulder was standing beside me as I healed the small line of people with most of them only taking a single 'Word' to heal them of their lesser wounds.
But as I was healing a younger man who kinda was an everyman with dark black hair and typical salary man vibes. I went to speak my words, but then gagged as in an instant the man swiped a dagger across my throat slitting it with blood rushing into my breathing tubes followed by a crunching noise and feeling.
'Fuck!' I mentally screamed as Mei Mei's axe cut the man in half from shoulder to waist and Mei Mei shouted. "Ui Ui, take him to Tokyo, to Shoko Ieiri!"
Another man rushed towards me but he died instantly as Kamo shot him in the head with one of his arrows made said head explode.
Then Ui Ui in an instant teleported me away as I couldn't speak a word of the Th'um due how I was choking on my blood and swaying even as Ui Ui shouted out. "Where is Shoko Ieiri!?"
One of the doctors seeing my neck pissing blood called out quickly. "She is operating on someone else. Nurse, you go tell her we have emergency neck trauma just arriving." The doctor ordered.
Then I was pushed up into a gurney with the doctors rushing in with medical equipment to seal the wound temporarily with a wrap with one of the doctors pushing a fucking tube in my throat, into the hole that was fucking with my breathing. And the nurse took over breathing for me.
"Young man, you need to relax. You are here, and Shouko will be able to heal you without any issues. Just don't squirm and you can be out of here by the end of the day." One of the doctors tried to console me as Ui Ui sat on my lap to hold my arms against my stomach so I wouldn't twitch about anymore.
As let me tell you... Getting a fucking tube shoved into a neck wound and someone blowing air into your own lungs was a very. Very uncomfortable feeling at least until they brought over a machine that took over the breathing.
I tried to relax, I really tried to. But beyond the agony of feeling like I was fucking drowning with each breath as blood leaked into my lungs and into my stomach. I was still worried now about Makima having agents here.
'Is Makima trying to just kill me now?' I wondered as I thought she wanted my power for herself... However it was also perfectly possible that it was literally another clan putting a hit on me.
Or hell, it was actually extremely possible that that man was an agent of another nation like China or Korea that didn't want Japan to have a Special-grade sorcerer. Even if he was more on the supporting side of things.
'Dammit... I need to master Reversed Cursed Energy. Someone fucking up my throat utterly cripples me, just like how Ulfric was captured just by gagging him.' I thought before my head lolled slightly as I was facing the wonderful effects of blood loss even with the patch over my throat.
Or it could have been oxygen deprivation, as having my throat opened up and having air pumped in and out with an awkward pace was certainly not helping.
Ui Ui leaned in and she whispered. "I am getting Mei Mei, I will be back in a few seconds."
Her weight on my lap disappeared and I looked at the doctor who was working on me, before I held in a violent cough that I knew would fuck me up even more.
The doctor raised an eyebrow at my gaze and said flatly. "I am not going to stab you in the throat... It's clear from how clear the cut was, that it was done by a blade. But the Tokyo Jujutsu Campus Hospital isn't going to dispatch you, young man."
I only responded with a deadpan stare at his blunt delivery about my supposed safety and then with a flicker of motion Ui Ui teleported to an empty side of the room with Mei Mei at her side and I idly noticed how she had more blood on her form then she used too before I was teleported.
'Whelp... There goes my easy life of being a healer.' I thought weakly.
