The center of the Sendai Barrier.
Tamamo-no-Mae flew in the air, constantly observing the situation on the battlefield.
Seeing the battle situation developing in the direction she desired, Tamamo-no-Mae nodded with satisfaction.
Although many Cursed Spirits had been lost, quite a few had already charged to the front of the four gates' defenses.
Once it devolved into close-quarters combat, the Jujutsu Sorcerers defending the positions would inevitably be worn down and killed by the Cursed Spirits.
Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze fell upon Altoria, who was fiercely battling amidst the Cursed Spirits alongside Ishiryu.
With the situation having progressed this far, she was no longer worried about whether Altoria could unleash such a powerful attack again.
Because the battle would soon enter a chaotic free-for-all where everyone was fighting everyone else.
At that point, Altoria would no longer be able to unleash that powerful attack.
Unless she was willing to ruthlessly eliminate her own allies as well.
"Are our high-tier combatants actually at a disadvantage?"
With Tamamo-no-Mae's keen eyesight, she could naturally see that their side, Ishiryu, Uro Sakurako, and Kuromushi, were on the losing end.
Dhuruv did not rashly attack. Instead, he unleashed his signature Summoned Spirits and deployed his Domain Expansion in front of the North Gate's frontline.
Dhuruv's Domain Expansion was not the typical kind where a barrier was erected to envelop the enemy.
Instead, it was an all-automatic attack domain formed within a certain range through the coordinated efforts of his Summoned Spirits' unique traits.
It was a supreme technique that maximized the abilities of his Summoned Spirits, mimicking the effects of a Domain Expansion.
Therefore, this domain had no outer shell; it would only automatically identify and strike enemies (or their attacks) once they entered the range covered by the Summoned Spirits.
This significantly reduced the advantage of long-range firepower, such as the rockets used at the North Gate.
Simultaneously, this was also Dhuruv's invitation.
An invitation for Yuki Tsukumo, also a Special Grade, to enter his Summoned Spirit domain for a battle.
As for the West Gate...
Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't understand it.
She truly couldn't grasp whether the battle between the Great Tengu and Satoru Gojo on the West Gate was an advantage or a disadvantage.
This was Tamamo-no-Mae's first time witnessing a battle with such a confusing art style and atmosphere.
Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Satoru Gojo and gave up trying to figure it out.
Finally, Tamamo-no-Mae shifted her gaze to the South Gate.
Kuromushi was being utterly suppressed at the moment.
It felt that even the enemy his father (the one split by Mahoraga's sword after laying eggs) faced wasn't this difficult to deal with.
Eiji: If you have the guts, stop ganging up 5 vs 1 and fight Mahoraga one-on-one.
The enemy across from it seemed to understand its techniques and combat habits perfectly.
Coupled with the attacks from several of its own kind, Kuromushi was finding it increasingly difficult to fight.
If it weren't for a group of Incarnation powerhouses by its side to share the pressure, it would probably have been eaten by now.
Thinking of this, a trace of fear welled up in Kuromushi's heart.
Help me, everyone, how can someone eat cockroaches alive!
This second-generation Kuromushi had also laid eggs and left offspring before participating in the battle.
It had set the birth conditions for its offspring the same as its father's: its own death.
Otherwise, if the young Kuromushi were born before its death, they would merely dilute the fear of cockroaches among people.
But that condition required its own death. If it were eaten alive and controlled by that squinty-eyed monster with bangs, the condition could never be triggered.
Therefore, Kuromushi was extremely anxious at this moment.
Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze also fixed here.
However, her attention was more focused on White Heron Inugami, who was charging through the Cursed Spirits not far from them.
After receiving treatment from Medea, and then obtaining a Cursed Tool personally crafted by Medea that could slow the erosion of the Cursed Stone, Tsuchiya Garaku could now fully unleash White Heron Inugami's Special Grade strength.
Coupled with the fact that he himself was a veteran Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
The high-level Cursed Spirits that had managed to break through Suguru Geto's defense and reach the South Gate were now being exorcised by Tsuchiya Garaku.
White Heron Inugami, which occasionally soared into the sky, had become a pillar of support for the Jujutsu Sorcerers on the South Gate's front lines.
Tamamo-no-Mae looked at White Heron Inugami in the air.
Then she looked at Kuromushi, who was struggling to hold on.
She made a decision in her heart.
The air where Tamamo-no-Mae was located distorted for a moment.
It then returned to normal.
On this chaotic battlefield, no one noticed the momentary sense of incongruity.
A high point within the Sendai Barrier.
As pale blue light gathered.
Heroic Spirit Emiya, having dispelled his Spiritualization, appeared here.
Standing at the high vantage point, Heroic Spirit Emiya surveyed the entire battlefield with hawk-like eyes.
"No need to worry about the East Gate. The Cursed Spirits are advancing fastest at the North Gate..."
Heroic Spirit Emiya's gaze shifted towards the North Gate's position.
"Yuki Tsukumo and Toji Fushiguro haven't exerted themselves yet, and the North Gate's ammunition reserves are still ample. Let's observe for now."
"That leaves the West and South Gates, then?"
"Let's start with the West Gate."
Heroic Spirit Emiya projected a long black bow.
A spiraling arrow was nocked onto the bow.
"Fake·Spiral Sword!"
As Fake·Spiral Sword flew out, its contained terrifying power was unleashed.
A massive spiral impact cleared a wide area in front of the West Gate, wiping out Cursed Spirits.
"Imaginary Destruction."
Heroic Spirit Emiya's voice was soft.
But the scene it created was grand.
A moment before Fake·Spiral Sword could break through the Cursed Spirit army.
Violent magical fluctuations erupted from Fake·Spiral Sword.
The terrifying explosion turned Cursed Spirits within a radius of nearly a hundred meters into ash.
After alleviating the pressure on the West Gate, Heroic Spirit Emiya began to target the high-grade Cursed Spirits on the field.
Arrows flew out one after another, piercing the air.
Cursed Spirits were continuously exorcised by Heroic Spirit Emiya.
The Cursed Spirits weren't just standing there to be hit.
Upon discovering Heroic Spirit Emiya's presence, the Cursed Spirits quickly began to surround his position.
At the forefront was a bird-like Cursed Spirit, not large in size but reaching the Quasi-Special Grade.
Heroic Spirit Emiya shot an arrow, but the bird-like Cursed Spirit merely shifted its body slightly, dodging the crimson arrow.
"Hmm?"
Heroic Spirit Emiya frowned.
He shot another arrow, which immediately split into over a dozen crimson arrows after being released.
This small volley of arrows finally inflicted a minor injury on the bird-like Cursed Spirit.
"So that's how it is. It can use air currents to dodge arrows."
Under the barrage of over a dozen arrows, the Cursed Spirit's movements were not as natural as before.
Heroic Spirit Emiya also discerned its strange flight pattern.
Two consecutive shots.
The first arrow suddenly exploded when it reached the Cursed Spirit.
The second arrow directly pierced the bird-like Cursed Spirit, which was unable to dodge normally due to the air currents from the explosion affecting it.
Heroic Spirit Emiya's gaze fell upon the tens of thousands of Cursed Spirits surging towards him, a cold smile curling his lips.
After all, there was no defensive line or allies in front of him.
"Imaginary Destruction."
Soon, arrows exploded amidst the Cursed Spirits.
The Nuclear Bomb Sword Immortal was officially online.
