Relying on his superb perception within his Simple Domain, Kusakabe Atsuya drew the katana at his waist to block almost instantly.
New Shadow Style: Evening Moon Sword Drawing!
Boom!
The sharp slash collided with the powerful sonic wave of the Warden. Although Kusakabe Atsuya's slash was extremely powerful, it was still somewhat weak against the Warden created by Shin's Fusion Creation.
The sonic cannon's power was significantly reduced by the slash, but it still struck Kusakabe Atsuya squarely. He felt as if he had been hit by a car, flying backward several meters, rolling on the ground, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Mei Mei immediately raised the axe in her hands and swung at the Warden to prevent it from taking further action, buying Kusakabe Atsuya some time to catch his breath.
Relying on Black Bird Manipulation, she had several crows fly far outside the main battlefield to avoid the darkness effect of the Warden, and then shared vision with the crows, remaining almost entirely unaffected by the Warden's darkness effect. Therefore, among everyone present, she was the only one who still retained almost all of her combat power.
The Warden raised both arms to block Mei Mei's giant axe.
Bang!
Although Mei Mei's strike hit the Warden squarely, she was also knocked back by the Warden's immense strength, and the wound carved by the axe on the Warden was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was the regeneration effect of the Vex!
Naobito and Nanami Kento used Cursed Energy to enhance their hearing, located the Warden, and launched attacks one after another.
Relying on his extremely high mobility, Naobito reached the Warden in an instant and placed his palm on its body.
The Warden, which had just been preparing to attack him, stiffened, as if a movie had been paused. This was Projection Sorcery, creatures touched by the user's palm would be forcibly frozen for one second if they did not move according to the actions predetermined by the sorcerer.
Having frozen the Warden, Naobito did not stop moving. Instead, he followed the sound of Shin's heartbeat, reached him, drew the sword-like Cursed Tool at his waist, and slashed down.
Nanami Kento followed closely behind Naobito, seizing the one-second window where the Warden was frozen to slash at its body.
Ratio!
Bang!
Using Ratio to forcibly divide the Warden's body into a 7:3 ratio to create a weak point, he carved a massive wound into the Warden's body with a single slash.
Mei Mei simultaneously activated Bird Strike, summoning a crow to charge at the Warden in a suicide attack. However, the moment the crow touched the Warden's body, accompanied by a scattering of purple light particles, the Warden's massive body instantly vanished from where it stood and reappeared not far away. Mei Mei's Bird Strike slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.
This was the immunity to ranged attacks gained from fusing with an Enderman.
Clang!
The Cursed Tool Naobito swung at Shin was easily blocked by the Netherite Armor that instantly covered his entire body.
Subsequently, Naobito was forced back by the trident swung by Shin.
...
Yuki and Satoru were chatting about the battle below from the stands.
Yuki said, "Huh? Their combat movements are a bit distorted. Could they be affected by some abnormal status effect?"
Satoru shrugged, indicating he didn't know either, then asked Yuki, "If you were to face Shin, what are your odds of winning?"
Yuki replied, "Ah... this kid? I have looked into his Cursed Technique, it is indeed quite troublesome. But he isn't even fighting seriously right now. Is he unwilling to even use his Domain? I recall he doesn't suffer from Cursed Technique Burnout, right?"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. Did Nobara tell you? So... you think you'll lose."
After hearing Satoru's words, Yuki smiled and replied confidently, "I will win. After all, I am a Special Grade Sorcerer with even more seniority than you, kid."
Satoru didn't know why, but he felt this conversation was a bit strange. However, perhaps he was just overthinking it. He was already impatient to see the scene of Yuki getting beaten up.
The battle below continued. The five Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers had gathered together to jointly deal with the Warden in front of them.
Mei Mei synchronized the crows' vision to the other four people. Although the four were not accustomed to the crows' vision, it was acceptable compared to being in total darkness.
Naobito said, "That shikigami has great recovery abilities, and from the battle just now, it's clear that all ranged attacks are likely ineffective. So, in a moment, I will use Projection Sorcery to freeze it. Nanami, Mei Mei, and Kusakabe, the three of you attack with full force and strive to eliminate it in one go. If once isn't enough, repeat the process. Naoya, you go and hold off that kid, don't let him participate in the battle."
Shin watched the group discuss tactics from afar without even lifting an eyelid. He simply placed a dozen 'T' shaped objects made of Soul Sand around him.
As the five began to act according to their planned strategy, he instantly completed the creation of a dozen Withers, followed by dozens of Iron Golems and dozens of Snow Golems. The densely packed creations made the five Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers' scalps tingle.
Fusion Creation!
After creating four more fused Wardens to ensure that every Grade 1 could have one as an opponent, Shin said to them, "It seems you have already discussed your battle plan. Then let us officially begin."
The Iron Golems and Snow Golems, lined up in formation, were as orderly as soldiers waiting for inspection. Every step the Iron Golem army took forward caused the earth to shake as if there were an earthquake.
The snowballs thrown by the Snow Golems and the Wither skulls thrown by the Withers were overwhelming, and the five Wardens were like generals of the army, leading the two legions forward to charge.
