Shortly after the summons from Jujutsu Headquarters was issued, Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru arrived at the Isayama Family's residence.
It had been a long time since Eichi, Gojo Satoru, and Suguru Geto were all together.
Heroic Spirit Emiya, who had been cooking at the High School, also came with the two.
"You arrived very quickly."
"Of course, how could I miss out on something like this? If Yaga Masamichi hadn't told me to wait for news, I would have been here ages ago."
Gojo Satoru, who was slumped over the back of a chair, suddenly teleported next to Eichi.
"Hey, hey, Eichi, are there any interesting enemies this time? Tell me about them."
Gojo Satoru pressed directly onto Eichi's back, his slender fingers constantly poking Eichi's cheek.
Suguru Geto, expressionless, reached his hands under Gojo Satoru's armpits, then lifted the large cat, who was sprawled on Eichi's shoulder, high into the air.
"Alright, that's enough."
Gojo Satoru's white cat-like head tilted back.
Their gazes met.
"Eichi has been very busy these past few days; let him rest properly for a while."
After saying that, Suguru Geto put the Gojo cat back on the chair.
'Why do I feel like Suguru Geto is getting gentler? No wonder so many people ship Gojo and Geto.'
"Daijoubu, I'll take care of all the remaining guys."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand nonchalantly, as if what awaited him was not a million Cursed Spirits, but a million ants.
For a moment, he truly exuded an air of looking down on the world.
However, Gojo Satoru indeed had the strength to say such things.
It's estimated that even Tamamo-no-Mae, the strongest among the enemies, might not be able to defeat Gojo Satoru.
Since the star plasma vessel incident last year, Gojo Satoru's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, Eichi wasn't even sure to what extent Gojo Satoru had grown.
"Satoru, can you use Domain Expansion now?"
Eichi asked, a little annoyed.
"Yeah."
Gojo Satoru replied casually.
"Eh? Satoru, when did you learn that?"
Suguru Geto was surprised; Gojo Satoru hadn't told him about learning Domain Expansion.
"I've been exorcising Cursed Spirits a lot recently, right? There was one Cursed Spirit that was like an insect—no matter how many times I killed it, it just wouldn't die."
Gojo Satoru put his legs on the table, crossed his arms, and his expression looked as if he was thinking of something disgusting.
"Then I thought, how can I make them stand still and let themselves be killed properly? And then, suddenly, I just used it."
'I really want to report this guy for cheating.'
Eichi watched him talk about Domain Expansion as if it were as simple as ordering takeout with a flick of a finger, and couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.
Suguru Geto's eyes narrowed, and his mouth twitched.
Now, among the three During the same period, he was the only one who couldn't use Domain Expansion... For the next day, both sides tacitly avoided making any big moves.
However, there were numerous acts of surveillance and probing.
Jujutsu Headquarters, with unprecedented firmness, mobilized a large number of Jujutsu Sorcerers to Sendai.
The Big Three Families also uncharacteristically took the initiative to send many Jujutsu Sorcerers to participate in the battle.
They all arrived in a very short time, then were divided into four units to surround Northern Sendai.
For a time, the situation was turbulent.
Northern Sendai.
Groups of Cursed Spirits rushed out of the barrier.
Forming hundreds of dense Cursed Spirit swarms.
When the Cursed Spirits began to continuously pour out of the barrier, Tengen, who had been observing the situation there, immediately took action.
The power that had been prepared for a long time was unleashed.
A barrier, stretching for more than ten kilometers, completely enveloped the area where the Cursed Spirits were located.
This was the Sendai Barrier, set up by Tengen after gathering all the barrier power from the entire Tohoku Region.
Unlike the original barrier covering Sendai, this barrier was outside Sendai, its purpose being to ensure that no Cursed Spirit could leave the barrier and enter Sendai.
Moreover, because only one barrier was set up, its solidity also surpassed the original Sendai Barrier in the Culling Game.
After the barrier took shape, four gates appeared in front of the four Jujutsu Sorcerer teams guarding the perimeter.
"What a huge barrier. Is this the legendary power of Tengen?"
Dhruv exclaimed.
Over a thousand years, Tengen's name had appeared in almost every corner of the Jujutsu World; few people didn't know Tengen.
"It's just a barrier, Ryu."
Tamamo-no-Mae gestured towards Ryu Ishigori.
Ryu Ishigori didn't refuse, and after reaching the edge of the barrier, he directly fired several Cursed Energy blasts.
"Ice Sand Shockwave."
The Cursed Energy blast, powerful enough to shatter a villa, had no effect on the barrier.
"Interesting."
Ryu Ishigori fired another Cursed Energy blast at maximum output.
The barrier only showed slight fluctuations.
On the other side, the Cursed Spirits near the edge of the barrier began to continuously attack it.
But still couldn't break through.
"This barrier seems to be completely connected to this land, and new power is constantly being replenished into the barrier."
A hunched old man with bloodshot eyes walked up to Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Not only that."
Uro Takako looked down from the sky at the Jujutsu Sorcerers arrayed in front of the four gates in the distance.
"By leaving gates in the barrier, they exchanged the condition of being able to enter and exit through the gates for an increase in the strength of other parts of the barrier."
"And the most important thing about the gates isn't that they strengthened the barrier's intensity, but that they designated a battlefield advantageous to them."
Tamamo-no-Mae added.
At each gate, hundreds of Jujutsu Sorcerers were already standing by in full readiness.
Over a thousand Jujutsu Sorcerers; this was most of the power the island nation's Jujutsu World could gather.
And they weren't just standing there waiting for Tamamo-no-Mae and the others to attack.
They were constantly setting up barriers and altering the terrain, aiming to transform the area around the gates into an impregnable fortress, where one man could hold off ten thousand.
"Their meaning is very clear: if we want to leave here, we must defeat them head-on."
Tamamo-no-Mae smiled alluringly.
"In that case, let them feel the might of my army."
Under Tamamo-no-Mae's command, countless Cursed Spirits began to move.
At this moment, in the eastern part of the Sendai Barrier.
Eichi and Artoria stood at the very front of the Team.
In this battle, Eichi and the other 4 Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers would be the sharpest spear.
And the ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers behind them would be the shield guarding the exit.
But it was obvious that these "shields" were extremely nervous at the moment.
A thousandfold difference in troop numbers.
Even if Eichi and the others knew that victory wouldn't be difficult, those ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers didn't know that.
Most of them were Grade 3 or Grade 4.
They hadn't even witnessed a Grade 1 battle.
So they weren't aware that, under top-tier powerhouses, quantity didn't matter much.
Therefore, to boost morale, Eichi communicated with Jujutsu Headquarters and decided that they would fire the first shot of the battle.
"The Cursed Spirits have started to move. Let's do it, Ria."
If they didn't act soon, it would be difficult once the Cursed Spirits scattered.
"Leave it to me."
Artoria stepped forward.
Here, Jujutsu Sorcerers had specially raised an earthen platform for Artoria.
At this moment, the hundreds of Jujutsu Sorcerers at the East Gate all looked towards Artoria.
Artoria had long been accustomed to such gazes.
She knew what this temporarily assembled army behind her needed most right now.
The wind entanglement around the Holy Sword dissipated.
The golden sword body shone with sacred light.
Countless rays of light gathered onto the Holy Sword.
"What is this?"
"So warm."
"What exactly is this light?"
Everyone watched in surprise as the light continuously converged into Artoria's hand.
"Open the top of the barrier."
Eichi said into his phone, which was still in call mode.
"Received."
Yaga Masamichi, who was in Hoshiumi Palace and responsible for contacting Tengen, immediately conveyed Eichi's request to Tengen.
The top of the Sendai Barrier was temporarily opened.
Then, Artoria brandished the Holy Sword in her hand.
"Excalibur!"
