In a shadow within the Barrier, Eichi's figure quietly appeared.
After emerging from the shadows, Eichi couldn't help but rub his temples.
It proved that if you're not Gojo Satoru, it's best not to take a direct hit from a powerful attack.
Eichi's current feeling could be described in one sentence.
His head was buzzing.
Ryu Ishigori's close-range blast should still be enjoyed by Gojo Satoru; Eichi would never do it again.
After a short rest, with his head feeling much better, Eichi observed the battlefield once more.
The field was still 5 against 1, but after Kuroi Bokusatsu was exorcised, Tamamo-no-Mae took his place.
Dhruv summoned Shikigami as meat shields, taking on the role of a tank.
Ootengu flew around in the sky, acting as an ADC, and Mahoraga would unhesitatingly reposition and output damage every time it was targeted.
Uro Takako, who was originally jungling and roaming, began to focus on controlling Mahoraga after Eichi disappeared.
However, she found Mahoraga increasingly difficult to control; in fact, just now when she tried to control it, she not only failed but almost took a punch herself.
If it weren't for the experience from that previous kick, Uro Takako would have taken that blow as well.
She had encountered such a difficult-to-control entity for the first time and was now questioning her life.
Kuroi Bokusatsu, who had been the mage-position damage dealer, was gone, and now Tamamo-no-Mae was filling in.
But strangely, Tamamo-no-Mae did not directly attack with foxfire but instead continuously created illusions to confuse Mahoraga.
The main damage dealer became Ryu Ishigori, who had been solo-laning on the side.
Ryu Ishigori would fire a blast and then move forward to attack with his fists, enjoying the fight immensely.
"It seems Mahoraga's side doesn't need to be worried about for now."
Mahoraga had already adapted to most of the enemies' methods.
Moreover, very few people knew about Mahoraga's intelligence; these enemies were almost all ancient figures who didn't know much about Mahoraga, so Mahoraga had a chance of winning.
It would win.
Eichi slowly got up and began to carefully observe the situation within the Barrier.
He hadn't had time to observe the situation inside the Barrier carefully before being interrupted by Dhruv.
Eichi had also seen someone develop Shikigami to form a Domain for the first time; Eichi, being in Dhruv's Domain, was automatically captured by the sure-hit effect.
From this point of view, Dhruv was also a Genius.
This time, Eichi planned to carefully observe the situation inside.
If the situation was controllable, he would directly use a Command Seal to summon a Heroic Spirit and clear this place out.
If the situation truly reached the worst-case scenario, like the Culling Game with 100 players and one million Cursed Spirits, then he would need to plan for the long term.
Under such a massive base number, any kind of existence could appear.
This was a world of Jujutsu, not a world of cultivation; trying to fight one against a million was not something to be attempted lightly.
To prevent a 'try it and die' situation.
"These display cases should have originally contained things, Cursed Objects?"
Eichi carefully examined the display cases shattered by the aftershocks of Mahoraga's attacks.
Just now, several Cursed Objects had "accidentally" fallen into Eichi's shadow.
Looking at the rows of neat display cases, Eichi knew in his heart that the worst possibility had appeared.
This seemed to be the original location of the players and Cursed Spirits in the Sendai Barrier when Kenjaku later initiated the Culling Game.
Eichi walked towards the depths of the Barrier.
"So many rooms, each sealed by a powerful Barrier. What's inside?"
Eichi cautiously opened a door, revealing a crack.
This Barrier was to prevent things inside from leaving; it had no effect on Eichi, who wanted to enter from outside.
Instantly, countless gazes filled with malice, resentment, hunger, and other negative emotions looked over, startling Eichi.
What met his eyes were Cursed Spirits, an extremely large number of Cursed Spirits.
The leading Cursed Spirit was massive, appearing like an ugly male figure tens of meters tall.
'Why does this feeling resemble Dai Nyudo so much?'
Eichi felt like he had seen it in a Cursed Spirit bestiary.
Dai Nyudo was a Yokai from Island Nation legends that appeared on Mount Ibuki; the largest could embrace a mountain peak, and the smallest was over 2 meters, with its size related to its strength.
The Dai Nyudo in front of him clearly belonged to the extremely powerful kind; judging from its aura, it had already exceeded a normal Grade 1, at least a Semi-Special Grade.
Eichi closed the door.
He walked to the next room, and upon opening the door, a large number of Cursed Spirits also appeared.
'The worst-case scenario is probably about to happen...'
Eichi felt it was tricky.
But just in case, Eichi still planned to confirm all these rooms as quickly as possible.
"What the hell is this thing? It just won't die no matter how much we hit it!"
After Eichi had confirmed the situation in dozens of rooms, discussions began to emerge.
Eichi leaned against the wall, entering the shadows to hide himself.
"Didn't Lady Uro just say it? This thing is called Mahoraga."
A shifty-eyed person scoffed.
Among the dozens of people in the field, most were gathered around a basin of water, which reflected the battlefield outside.
It should be someone's Technique.
The others who didn't get a spot were scattered around.
"What is Mahoraga?"
The gruff-voiced man continued to ask.
"Mahoraga is..."
The shifty-eyed person was about to continue showing off but realized he didn't know much either.
Soon, an old man began to tell them the legend of Mahoraga, causing everyone to exclaim in wonder.
Eichi, however, was speechless.
It's made up, absolutely made up.
Aside from Mahoraga defeating powerful Cursed Spirits and its connection to the Gojo Family's Six Eyes, everything else was fabricated.
Even I, Mahoraga's user, didn't know Mahoraga was so brave that it could even fight its way to Takamagahara.
And something about being suppressed by Amaterasu Omikami and then subdued by someone to become a Shikigami.
It's well-written; do you want to work for Heroic Spirit Media?
Muttering a complaint inwardly, Eichi began to carefully observe the situation in the field.
There were all kinds of people, men and women, old and young, and even a few who didn't look human.
There were dozens of them, and all had obvious Cursed Energy fluctuations.
'Judging by the number of people, it matches the recent missing population, plus those display cases earlier, Incarnated Beings?'
Recalling the rooms he had seen earlier and looking at the dozens of Incarnated Beings in front of him, Eichi felt his head, which had just eased considerably, start to ache again.
'Should I launch a sneak attack? I should be able to take out a good number of them.'
Eichi began to consider whether to do one more job before retreating.
The battle had lasted a long time; Eichi's Cursed Energy could still handle it, but his stamina was starting to lag.
This was also why Eichi retreated shortly after being ambushed earlier.
Under the combined assault of several people, Eichi's Reverse Cursed Technique healing couldn't keep up with the rate of injury.
'Let's just forget it; I'll call Satoru and Geto to deal with it together.'
After a moment of thought, Eichi still abandoned the idea of expanding his battle achievements.
After all, this world had all sorts of outrageous Jujutsu.
He was already not in good condition; if he were trapped here by a strange Technique, he could only see if he would Transmigrate again after death.
Eichi, who was about to retreat, didn't notice a small figure holding a dagger appearing behind him.
