Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Boom.
The battle in the arena continued. If the fight between Satoru Gojo and Eiji had felt like a natural disaster for the training ground, then the battle between Suguru Geto and Altoria had turned it into a battlefield.
At this moment, Altoria felt as if she had returned to the days of war.
Above, a dense rain of arrows continuously fell, and below, the enemy army charged right after the arrows.
Enemies everywhere, danger everywhere.
But for Altoria, who had walked through wars, this was nothing.
She had experienced countless battlefields several times more dangerous than this.
Seeing Altoria handling his attacks with ease, Suguru Geto had to increase his offensive power once more.
A spider-shaped Cursed Spirit appeared.
Its dense eyes and disgusting fur made anyone who looked at it feel uncomfortable.
Ssss.
The spider Cursed Spirit's abdomen began to shoot out silk.
As soon as the silk left the spider's body, it exploded into webs.
Although the webs didn't hit Altoria upon landing, they gradually compressed Altoria's space to move.
A giant Worm Cursed Spirit burrowed into the ground and continuously attacked Altoria from beneath, trying to swallow her whole.
The Rainbow Dragon also didn't miss any opportunity to attack Altoria.
Soon, several flying Cursed Spirits joined the fray.
Altoria, seasoned in battle, was not flustered by Suguru Geto's attacks.
Relying on her keen observation and powerful intuition, she dodged the Cursed Spirit's version of the Gate of Babylon while repeatedly finding opportunities to counterattack in the gaps between the Cursed Spirits' coordinated assaults.
With one sword strike, she heavily wounded the Worm Cursed Spirit.
Soon, new Cursed Spirits joined the battlefield again.
While fighting, Altoria pondered how to get closer to Suguru Geto in the air.
A dozen or so Bug Cursed Spirits, glowing red all over, flew in front of Altoria under the cover of other Cursed Spirits.
A dazzling red light emanated from the dozen Bug Cursed Spirits.
A fierce explosion instantly engulfed Altoria.
"Did she win?"
Suguru Geto stared intently at the smoke screen formed by the explosion.
Suddenly, a figure shot out from the ground towards Suguru Geto in the sky.
It was Altoria, using Mana Burst.
The "no damage despite smoke" trope held true.
"Hey, hey, the power of that explosion just now exceeded the full power of a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, almost reaching Grade 1. Why isn't she hurt?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Suguru Geto's mind.
"Magic Resistance!"
Suguru Geto realized.
Magic Resistance, a skill that could nullify magical attacks. The higher the Magic Resistance, the stronger the magical attack it could nullify.
Altoria's Magic Resistance was so high that modern sorcerers could barely inflict magical damage on her, and she could even withstand one Command Spell.
In this world, Altoria's Magic Resistance could nullify most Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers' Cursed Technique attacks.
Under Suguru Geto's command, a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit appeared from the Cursed Spirit space. As long as it could hold Altoria back, the flying Cursed Spirits behind it could drive Altoria back to the ground again.
However, Altoria's combat experience was incredibly rich.
Facing the enemy that suddenly appeared to block her.
Altoria slightly rotated the tip of her sword, continuously using Mana Burst.
She spun through the air like a jet fighter, dodging the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit's obstruction.
Facing Altoria's attack, Suguru Geto immediately commanded the Pelican Cursed Spirit to evade.
But it couldn't dodge.
Altoria, with her extensive combat experience, had already predicted Suguru Geto's likely evasion direction and prepared countermeasures.
"Can't dodge."
Suguru Geto jumped backward, with the Pelican Cursed Spirit blocking in front of him.
A Snake Cursed Spirit emerged from the cursed spirit space and spat out Suguru Geto's Cursed Tool, Heavenly Restriction.
Ever since he acquired Heavenly Restriction, Suguru Geto had been searching for a storage-type cursed spirit to conveniently carry it.
His efforts paid off, and Suguru Geto found a storage-type Snake Cursed Spirit.
The ability of snakes to swallow prey several times their own size is a concept difficult for many to grasp.
Therefore, this Snake Cursed Spirit also developed an ability related to "swallowing."
Afterward, Suguru Geto kept Heavenly Restriction inside this Snake Cursed Spirit's belly.
Altoria severed the Pelican Cursed Spirit with a single sword strike.
She then placed the Sacred Sword behind her and used Mana Burst again.
At this moment, Suguru Geto was also prepared to counter.
Altoria swung her Sacred Sword, and Suguru Geto used Heavenly Restriction with all his might to attack Altoria.
Clang.
Boom!
Suguru Geto was smashed into the ground by Altoria's attack.
Several Flying Cursed Spirits that had been chasing Altoria behind her took advantage of her momentary stillness to catch up.
The first to arrive was the Rainbow Dragon.
Altoria braced the Rainbow Dragon's upper jaw with her sword and stepped on its lower jaw with her combat boots.
Although she blocked the Rainbow Dragon's attack, Altoria was still dragged towards the ground by it.
Before reaching the ground, Altoria, wearing gauntlets on her right hand, punched the Rainbow Dragon's head.
The Rainbow Dragon cried out in pain, and Altoria seized the opportunity to escape its gaping maw.
Upon landing, Altoria was met by a swarm of continuously arriving cursed spirits.
However, without Suguru Geto's command, the chaotic attacks of these cursed spirits had no effect on Altoria.
"Hmm?"
Altoria's intuition alerted her to danger behind her.
She thrust her sword backward.
Suguru Geto's attack was blocked by the Sacred Sword.
The two separated again.
Altoria's gaze quickly flickered to where Suguru Geto had landed moments before; a Fleshy Ball Cursed Spirit was lying in the crater.
So that's it, he used a cursed spirit as a cushion to reduce the damage.
At the same time, Suguru Geto looked at the many cursed spirits in the field.
Every cursed spirit was covered in wounds.
Even the Rainbow Dragon had an unhealed scar on its head.
Suguru Geto waved his hand and dismissed the cursed spirits in the field.
He knew Altoria had held back; after all, this was just a spar, and there was no need to go for the kill.
Suguru Geto gripped Heavenly Restriction and attacked Altoria.
Clang! Clang!
Suguru Geto and Altoria engaged in a fierce exchange of attacks.
The Three-Section Staff, repelled by the Sacred Sword, and the sword energy dodged by Suguru Geto raged across the field, leaving scars on the earth time and again.
At this moment, Suguru Geto encountered the same problem as Diarmuid; the invisible sword in Altoria's hand made it difficult for him to accurately judge the range of her attacks.
Even though he knew the length of Excalibur in advance, it was still quite difficult to precisely judge its attack range during such a high-speed and intense offensive and defensive battle.
After all, a mere 1-centimeter error in judgment could lead to him being unable to block the Sacred Sword's attack.
That would also mean his injury or even defeat.
