"Satoru, why didn't you leave?"
Inside the Prison Realm, Suguru voiced the doubt in his heart.
Although the situation just now had been dangerous, with the two of them working together, they could have completely escaped the Prison Realm's sealing range by paying a certain price.
After all, trying to keep strong individuals of their level within a four-meter radius for one minute, without some special means, would be as difficult as a certain country joining the Five Great Powers.
"Of course, it's because I'm kind-hearted."
Satoru pinched his chin, his Six Eyes constantly scanning the surroundings with curiosity.
The internal structure of the Prison Realm fascinated him.
"Huh?"
Suguru looked at Satoru in confusion.
"Those guys were lining up to beg me to kill them quickly, and I, being kind-hearted, sent them on their way."
Just now, in order to keep the two of them within the Prison Realm's sealing range, the Shikigami controlled by Abe no Seimei had fought with utter disregard for their lives.
Their fearless fighting style was practically telling Satoru, 'Come on, kill me! As long as you don't leave, you can kill as many as you want.'
Therefore, Satoru naturally would not refuse.
After all, many of these Shikigami were Special Grade powerhouses, and even he could not kill them so easily if they got serious.
"Although I have faith in Eichi, aren't you afraid the opponent will just run away with the Prison Realm instead of fighting?"
Suguru looked helplessly at Satoru, who was clearly in a playful mood.
"It's fine. I have the key. We can just leave then."
Satoru took out a compressed barrier resembling a crystal.
This compressed barrier had been given to Satoru by Eichi along with the fire extinguisher used to tease Jogo not long after Tokyo Jujutsu High started.
"Huh?"
Suguru's eyes widened, and his lips moved, not knowing what to say.
Why was the key to the enemy's carefully prepared killing move on their side?
He wondered what expression Suguru would make when he discovered that not only was the key to the enemy's killing move in their hands, but the back door was also open.
"They're coming, they're coming! Suguru, get ready. Let's give him a good surprise."
Upon seeing Kenjaku recklessly rushing toward the Prison Realm, Satoru excitedly tugged on Suguru's sleeve.
"This guy's true form is a brain. You open the lid, and I'll perform my talent."
"No problem."
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Then Satoru injected Cursed Energy into the compressed barrier, and a lightning-shaped dagger appeared in his hand.
Outside the Prison Realm, Kenjaku, who had just agreed with Seimei to retreat, quickly arrived in front of the Prison Realm, picked it up, and prepared to flee.
Behind him, Eichi's magical energy surged, and he was already prepared to release his Noble Phantasm to stop Kenjaku.
Just then, Eichi noticed a blue eye suddenly opening on the Prison Realm.
That eye playfully winked at him.
The magical energy on the Noble Phantasm in Eichi's hand, poised to attack, intensified.
This action greatly attracted Kenjaku's attention.
But it did not matter. This new body had a Cursed Technique that could phase out and avoid damage. Even if he could not dodge, at most, he would lose a heart, and then he could simply switch to another body.
However, Kenjaku, whose attention had been fully drawn to Eichi, did not notice that the Prison Realm in his hand had suddenly trembled.
A pair of warm hands embraced his head.
Suguru skillfully pulled the stitches all the way down with his left hand, while his right hand performed a one-handed scalp removal.
"Surprise!"
At just the right moment, Satoru hooked his fingers into the corners of his mouth and eyelids, making a ghostly face with his mouth almost reaching his ears, a long tongue, and rolled-back white eyes.
Kenjaku, whose true form had suddenly been exposed and who saw Satoru's ghostly face up close, shouted, "I, you, XX@##@&!"
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void."
After thoroughly enjoying Kenjaku's expression, Satoru, who had already repaired his Cursed Technique Burnout inside the Prison Realm, immediately activated his Domain.
A massive amount of information directly flooded Kenjaku's true form, turning him from a brain into a brain-dead individual.
On the other side, after seeing what happened to Kenjaku, Seimei gritted his teeth, preparing for one final struggle.
The Devil King's Hammer was thrown into the air, and the twisted flesh and organs began to change and swell.
A monster tens of meters tall, composed of countless distorted organs, appeared.
"What kind of resentment is this? How many lives has this demonic blade taken?"
Artoria looked at the monster that had suddenly appeared with disgust.
To accelerate Seimei's creation of a Shikigami army, Kenjaku had provided him with two small treasuries in Tokyo as materials.
Seimei directly used numerous Cursed Objects made by ancient powerhouses, incarnated them, and then killed them as materials, supplemented by curses condensed from hundreds of thousands of Cursed Spirits, to forge this demonic blade.
This was also why the Devil King's Hammer could hold its own against Artoria's unsealed Holy Sword in battle.
A storm of Cursed Energy began to emerge, and countless Shikigami corpses on the battlefield transformed into specks of light, converging toward Seimei's hand.
"Creating a new Shikigami on the spot?"
After confirming that Kenjaku had been subdued by Satoru and could no longer cause trouble, Eichi turned his gaze to Artoria's battlefield.
Then he witnessed Seimei's actions.
Countless Shikigami corpses on the field that had died but not fully dissipated, as well as the Cursed Energy formed by dissipating Shikigami corpses, were all frantically surging toward Seimei.
Among these corpses, there were many Special Grade Shikigami!
"No, such violent Cursed Energy can't be used for such precise manipulation."
Seeing the massive scale of Cursed Energy in Seimei's hand, Eichi immediately realized something was wrong.
Even Satoru would suffer brain overload if he tried to precisely manipulate such a vast amount of Cursed Energy all at once. How could Seimei, someone without even the Six Eyes, accomplish it?
"He's going to self-destruct!"
After reaching this conclusion, Eichi immediately unleashed the Noble Phantasm in his hand.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The crimson spear tip rapidly approached Seimei, but it was blocked by barriers erupting from the ground around him like roots.
Eichi relied on Medea and thrust out Rule Breaker.
Clap, clap, clap.
The barriers shattered layer by layer, but they did not get much closer to Seimei.
"How many layers of shields did you put on?! Were you that afraid of being interrupted, so you put all your shields on?"
Eichi's gaze fell upon the roots erupting from the ground beneath Seimei's feet.
These roots connected to one of the four most important Netherworld Barriers in Japan, which stored a millennium's worth of Cursed Energy accumulated by Tengen to lead all the people of Japan to evolve in the future.
This Cursed Energy was not accumulated from Tengen himself, but absorbed from the surrounding space.
Therefore, this Cursed Energy was extremely vast.
Just then, the eight-sided spiderweb cage, which had been standing untouched at the edge of the battlefield, broke open, revealing a dying Tsuchigumo.
Tsuchigumo's destruction Cursed Technique could release a variety of destructive methods, and Mahoraga adapting to one of them was useless.
Therefore, upon discovering this, Mahoraga chose to adapt to destruction itself.
This significantly increased the time Mahoraga needed to adapt, but it also gave it the means to defeat Tsuchigumo once the adaptation was complete.
After a long period of fierce fighting, this legendary being, said to be able to defeat and devour even gods and demons, was finally defeated to its satisfaction.
After absorbing Tsuchigumo, a sphere of terrifying Cursed Energy capable of destroying everything appeared in Seimei's hand.
"Tsk."
Eichi inwardly cursed as he looked at the terrifying attack about to descend.
Suguru had lost so many Cursed Spirits, and his Cursed Energy consumption was also very high. He might not be able to survive such an attack now.
Satoru had just turned the brain brain-dead with Unlimited Void and was currently in Cursed Technique Burnout, without the protection of Limitless.
Therefore, Eichi absolutely could not allow this attack to be released.
The purple robe on his body disappeared, replaced by a blue kimono and a red jacket.
Eichi aimed the short sword in his hand at the ground.
Rumble, rumble.
The ground shattered, revealing the roots hidden beneath.
"Is it here?"
Eichi slashed out with his sword, severing the connection between the roots and the Netherworld Barrier. Then, with his short sword and his left hand wrapped in magical energy, he continuously destroyed the barriers that had lost their Cursed Energy supply and could no longer stack their shields.
His eyes remained fixed on the massive destructive sphere above his head.
"Let's all die together."
Seimei glanced at the barrier that was about to be breached, and the sphere condensed from countless Cursed Energy and Shikigami in his hand descended.
He wanted to drag everyone on the field down with him.
Whoosh.
Facing this attack capable of destroying everything, Eichi merely thrust out an unremarkable sword strike.
Under Seimei's astonished gaze, the attack that could shatter mountains and destroy everything simply vanished without a trace.
Pfft.
The short sword that brought death pierced Seimei's chest.
"What are those eyes?"
Feeling the life force rapidly disappearing from his body, Seimei looked at Eichi's rainbow-colored pupils and asked.
"Magic Eyes that can see death and kill everything."
"So it's death."
