Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: Running

Looking at the four temporary Heroic Spirits in the opponent's Domain.

And then at his own side's continuously decreasing Cursed Spirits.

Kenjaku knew it was time to run.

Dealing with one already took half his life; now you're telling him there are four more on the other side, and their numbers are still increasing?

If he didn't run now, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

Having made up his mind, Kenjaku immediately began to execute his escape plan.

The lumps of earth on the ground suddenly protruded.

Several rat-shaped Cursed Spirits, with Shikigami symbols on their heads, burrowed out from underground.

Low-level Shikigami Cursed Techniques and Barrier Techniques are general-purpose Jujutsu that every Jujutsu Sorcerer can learn.

Before obtaining Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Kenjaku often caught some low-level small Cursed Spirits, controlled them with Shikigami Cursed Techniques, and had them help him with odd jobs.

The last rat burrowed out from underground, carrying a bag much larger than itself in its mouth.

At the same time, a large amount of turbid Cursed Energy also appeared in the distance between the two.

These were Kenjaku's collections in this vicinity.

For Kenjaku, who still had 9 million Cursed Spirits.

Kenjaku wouldn't feel sad no matter how many of these insignificant collections died.

As long as he didn't suffer another loss like Sendai, where he lost nearly 10% of his collection in one go.

The Cursed Spirits in the Domain rushed towards Cú Chulainn recklessly.

However, these enemies, at most Rank 1 Cursed Spirits, were no match for Cú Chulainn.

The scarlet spear mercilessly reaped the lives of the Cursed Spirits.

The Cursed Spirits outside the Domain also rushed into the Domain.

Eichi frowned, then Medea flew high into the sky.

Her purple robe spread out like bat wings.

Countless magic cannons blasted down towards the Cursed Spirits.

At the same time, Heroic Spirit Emiya shot another arrow towards Kenjaku.

The crab Cursed Spirit also swung its claw immediately, trying to block the arrow.

However, the arrow penetrated the crab Cursed Spirit's large pincer, which was like a shield, without any pause.

Clearly, this arrow had effects like armor penetration or defense ignore.

The crab Cursed Spirit's other short pincer clamped towards the arrow, but it was too late.

Kenjaku heard the sound of rushing air from the front and instinctively turned his head.

The sharp arrow grazed Kenjaku's forehead.

It gave Kenjaku a free stitch removal.

Kenjaku immediately got up, and a new Cursed Spirit had already appeared beside him.

This Cursed Spirit had no legs; at first glance, it looked a bit like a genie, but upon closer inspection, it was slightly disgusting.

Its entire head was covered by dense hair, revealing only a row of teeth, with two things that were either fangs or horns growing at the corners of its mouth.

Special Grade Specific Disease Cursed Spirit, Kasouba, also known as Kasouba.

It is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear of smallpox.

"Alright, now it's time to escape with all my might."

Kasouba quietly moved, hiding her body among the Cursed Spirits beside Kenjaku.

Then Kenjaku began to actively lead the Cursed Spirits and charge into Eichi's Domain.

"Hm?"

Eichi, seeing this scene, was a bit surprised.

Unusual events always have a reason.

Eichi decided to break it directly with force.

Beside Eichi, Heroic Spirit Emiya had already nocked a projected Spiral Sword onto his bow.

Kenjaku, seeing this scene, was not flustered, but instead began to fully activate his Domain.

Eichi frowned. At this moment, was he trying to clash Domains with him?

In the previous probing, Kenjaku's Domain had already fallen into a disadvantage; there was no way he could win now.

But since the opponent had attacked, Eichi naturally wouldn't hold back.

The Domains of both sides began a new round of collision.

As Kenjaku rushed to the center of the Domain, and Heroic Spirit Emiya's Spiral Sword was about to be shot.

The moment Cú Chulainn broke out of the Cursed Spirits' encirclement and pointed his spear at Kenjaku.

Kasouba, who had been hiding among the Cursed Spirits, appeared.

And at the moment of her appearance, she used Domain Expansion.

A new Domain encompassed Eichi and several temporary Heroic Spirits.

The only one not included was Kenjaku.

Eichi immediately realized Kenjaku's intention.

Eichi's open-type Domain, Throne of Heroes, began to aggressively attack the outer shell of Kasouba's Domain, relying on its range advantage.

In just a few seconds, Kasouba's Domain shell was shattered.

However, after Kasouba's Domain was defeated, Kenjaku's figure had already disappeared.

"As expected of an old fox who has lived for a thousand years, this escape tactic is truly skillful."

Eichi was speechless.

It seems he can't fight this guy normally next time.

After returning this time, he would immediately have Tengen and Medea create a curtain that only Kenjaku couldn't leave, but others could enter and exit freely.

Next time he found Kenjaku, he would directly put down the curtain.

Eichi didn't believe Kenjaku could still escape then.

No longer dwelling on it, Eichi headed towards Mahoraga's direction.

Maki and Inumaki Toge were still waiting for treatment.

As for Kenjaku, if he ran, then he ran; he still had some use.

After all, flies flying everywhere were annoying.

But when these flies were gathered together, wasn't that the perfect time to eliminate them?

Not far from Inumaki Toge and Maki.

The Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Elephant-Headed God, was frantically looking at Mahoraga, who kept laughing at him.

This guy, whom the Elephant-Headed God couldn't understand, had been showing a wide grin since he first appeared.

During this time, the Elephant-Headed God tried throwing Mahoraga into the air and then smashing him down.

Tried to flatten Mahoraga.

Also tried to control Mahoraga in mid-air and compress him into a ball.

But it was useless.

And it was already frustrating enough that his own methods were ineffective.

The key was that every time his attacks were ineffective, that guy would stand up and dust himself off.

Then stand there like nothing happened, grinning foolishly at him.

That expression was as if to say, "Brother, didn't you eat? Why do you have no strength at all?"

He, a dignified Special Grade Cursed Spirit, had run rampant in India for a long time, even being worshipped by people.

Besides that perverted stitch-face, who else dared to insult him like this?

Mahoraga waiting in place for the opponent to attack, and then adding to his inventory, could be said to have no harm, but full of insult.

After all, Special Grade Cursed Spirits were hard to find.

Many of Mahoraga's adapted inventories came from Rank 1 or even lower-Rank Cursed Spirits and Curse Users.

These inventories often couldn't be used directly when facing Special Grades.

At most, there were some overlapping parts that reduced Mahoraga's adaptation time.

For example, if he originally had to spin the wheel twice, because he had adapted to several similar Cursed Techniques, some parts could be used directly.

So this time, one spin of the wheel would suffice.

Therefore, after Mahoraga discovered that he had no inventory for this guy's abilities and that he posed no great threat to him, he generously let the opponent attack him freely.

He would wait until the Elephant-Headed God got tired.

"Moo!"

The Elephant-Headed God let out a roar.

Then he charged towards Mahoraga on all fours.

Mahoraga looked at the Elephant-Headed God, who had run out of tricks.

Then he silently raised his right hand's Sword of Exorcism, hesitated for a moment, and then switched to his left hand.

Mahoraga remembered Eichi had said he wanted him alive earlier.

Mahoraga dodged the Elephant-Headed God's trunk, and his left fist heavily struck the Elephant-Headed God's head.

Thud.

The Elephant-Headed God's head made a pleasant sound.

Then he swayed and fell to the ground.

Before falling, the Elephant-Headed God saw Mahoraga's signature smile.
