The north gate of the Sendai Barrier.
This was the area Tamamo-no-Mae was focusing its attack on.
It was also the direction currently facing the greatest pressure from the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
At this moment, Dhuruv sat atop his summoned spirit, which was larger than a building, commanding an army of Cursed Spirits to advance towards the north gate.
The first to engage in battle were the flying Cursed Spirits in the air.
However, what greeted them was not Jujutsu, nor blades, but a metal storm they had never seen before.
Rat-tat-tat.
Dozens of spirit extermination rifles swept towards the sky.
They didn't even need to aim.
Because there were too many enemies, one only needed to look up to see countless foes obscuring the sky.
The troops defending the north gate were composed of Jujutsu High in Tokyo and civilian Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Eiji's modernized spirit extermination squad was also counted among the civilian organizations.
Currently, they wore goggles designed for observing Cursed Spirits and wielded specialized anti-Cursed Spirit firearms produced by the laboratory.
With firepower that left ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers dumbfounded, they continuously eliminated the attacking Cursed Spirits.
"Fire the rocket launchers!"
As the command was given, over a dozen people immediately put down their guns and took rocket launchers from their equipment cases.
"Don't bother aiming, the sky is full of targets, just shoot!"
As rocket after rocket exploded in the air.
The offensive of the flying Cursed Spirits was finally halted.
"Are those modern crossbows? Their power is truly terrifying..."
Dhuruv looked towards the battlefield, which was constantly erupting in explosions, with a face full of emotion.
"But we can do the same thing."
Among the Cursed Spirits behind Dhuruv, hundreds of uniquely shaped Cursed Spirits lined up under Dhuruv's command.
Some had mouths like cannons, some had strange bone spurs, and some wielded throwable weapons.
"Fire!"
Dhuruv gave the order.
A large number of cursed energy cannon fire and projectile weapons were launched towards the north gate position.
"Defense!"
Seeing the actions of the Cursed Spirits, the Jujutsu Sorcerers at the north gate couldn't sit still.
Lightning, fireballs, ice arrows...
Jujutsu Sorcerers continuously intercepted the attacks flying from afar.
"Raise the barrier, everyone take cover!"
The commander at the north gate continuously issued instructions.
"No need for all that trouble."
Toji Fushiguro, who had been observing, walked to the front of the formation.
Uraume climbed onto Toji Fushiguro and opened its mouth.
The Soul Release Blade and the Chain of a Thousand Miles were spat out by Uraume.
One end of the Chain of a Thousand Miles was connected to the Soul Release Blade, while the other end remained inside Uraume's belly.
Toji Fushiguro began to swing the Chain of a Thousand Miles continuously.
Under Toji Fushiguro's full force swing, the chain blade formed by the Chain of a Thousand Miles and the Soul Release Blade cut through countless attacks like an iron curtain.
"No way, that guy doesn't have any Cursed Energy on him at all!"
A Jujutsu Sorcerer stared dumbfounded as Toji Fushiguro blocked more than half of the attacks by himself.
"Wait, is this guy a Cursed Technique killer?"
"What Cursed Technique killer, he's the Calamity of Heaven!"
A teacher working at Jujutsu High corrected him.
Toji Fushiguro had been working at Jujutsu High for over a year, and many Jujutsu High staff knew about the Calamity of Heaven, whose physical abilities were monstrously strong, capable of even matching Special Grade sorcerers.
Therefore, they treated Toji Fushiguro with great respect.
Except for a very small number of extremist organizations (like the Zenin Family).
The Jujutsu World revered strength, and Toji Fushiguro had earned the respect of all the teachers and students at Jujutsu High with his immense power.
This time, Toji Fushiguro was also one of the safeguards for the north gate.
"Has it already started? Looks like I'm late."
With the roar of a motorcycle, Yuki Tsukumo, who had rushed back overnight from overseas, arrived just in time.
"Long time no see, Toji-kun."
Yuki Tsukumo flashed a big smile at Toji Fushiguro.
"Too slow."
Toji Fushiguro merely glanced at Yuki Tsukumo and ignored her.
"Still so cold, that's just mean."
Yuki Tsukumo spread her hands, utterly speechless.
"You're not my type, and you have no money. Why should I be enthusiastic towards you?"
Toji Fushiguro delivered a critical blow to Yuki Tsukumo mentally.
"Damn it! What a tactless guy."
Yuki Tsukumo turned away, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, clearly angered by Toji Fushiguro.
While the two were talking, the army of Cursed Spirits finally reached within a kilometer of the north gate's defensive line.
"Everyone, full firepower, don't hold back on bullets, take down all these ugly freaks!"
Rockets, machine guns – all available firepower was unleashed towards the Cursed Spirits.
A storm of steel completely enveloped the densely packed advancing Cursed Spirits.
Bang, bang, bang.
Heavy footsteps echoed as over a dozen enormous Cursed Spirits, possessing strong defenses and reaching Grade 1 strength, appeared at the very front of the Cursed Spirit army.
Once these behemoths appeared, they began to advance under the metallic storm, shielding the Cursed Spirit army.
This was Dhuruv's command.
From Dhuruv's observation, modern bows and arrows were highly effective against Cursed Spirits below Grade 2.
However, their damage to Grade 1 Cursed Spirits was limited.
Therefore, he immediately mobilized a batch of Grade 1 and above Cursed Spirits, along with many Cursed Spirits skilled in defense, to the front lines.
The north gate's firepower advantage was significantly diminished.
"Tch, what a pain."
Toji Fushiguro, carrying the Soul Release Blade, prepared to charge forward and deal with these big guys.
"Leave it to me."
Just as Toji Fushiguro was about to move, Yuki Tsukumo spoke.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Toji Fushiguro, whose expression had been radiating ferocity just a second ago, immediately adopted a lazy demeanor.
If someone else was going to handle it, why should he?
He wouldn't get paid extra.
Toji Fushiguro decided to just slack off.
"Houlun."
A Summoned Spirit, resembling a snake with wings and made of a bone-like material, floated before Yuki Tsukumo.
This was Yuki Tsukumo's Cursed Tool-manifested Summoned Spirit, Houlun, also known as Garuda.
Houlun began to spin as it reached Yuki Tsukumo's feet.
Eventually, it coiled itself into a ball.
Yuki Tsukumo took a deep breath and then kicked Houlun out with force.
Flying like a soccer ball, Houlun pierced through the Cursed Spirits at the forefront with terrifying power.
Afterward, Houlun began to curve, piercing through the Cursed Spirits in front of the formation one by one.
'This power...'
Toji Fushiguro was somewhat surprised as he watched Houlun pierce through dozens of Cursed Spirits in one go.
'Is it her Jujutsu's effect, or a Cursed Tool similar to the Soul Release Blade?'
Toji Fushiguro wondered to himself.
Keep in mind that among the Cursed Spirits pierced by Yuki Tsukumo's kick, over a dozen were Grade 1 Cursed Spirits.
Therefore, Toji Fushiguro speculated that Yuki Tsukumo and Houlun might also possess some ability to amplify power or ignore defense.
Yuki Tsukumo's Cursed Technique is Star Wrath.
It can grant herself and Houlun imaginary mass. The increase in mass also enhances Yuki Tsukumo's physical strength.
The imaginary mass increased by Yuki Tsukumo's Cursed Technique, Star Wrath, is likely infinite.
In the original work, when Yuki Tsukumo was turned into 49.5 by Master Tengen, she even created a black hole with her Cursed Technique.
According to Kenjaku, if 49.5 Yuki hadn't been afraid of affecting Kurokoshi-gu and destroying everything, Kenjaku would have died in the black hole.
"Curious? If you let me study you, Toji, I'll tell you my secret~"
After speaking, Yuki Tsukumo showed an expectant expression.
"Not interested."
Toji Fushiguro's voice remained flat.
Hearing this, Yuki Tsukumo angrily kicked out the Houlun again.
