Annoyed.
Eichi was extremely annoyed right now.
At this moment, Eichi's shadow continuously surged, spreading in all directions.
The pitch-black shadow transformed into an Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden, wanting to devour everything.
And at the edge of the Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden was the Shadow Crocodile's Domain, a Hell of Purgatory without a trace of sunlight, a lightless shadow.
The surging Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden and the lightless shadow intensely collided.
At their junction, countless Shikigami and Shadow Crocodiles were engaged in an endless slaughter.
"Tch, have I encountered a similar type of stand user?"
Currently, it seemed that both sides' Domains were very similar.
Both were Domains constructed based on shadow Techniques, and the granted Techniques were also related to summoning.
In Eichi's Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden, Eichi could ignore the restrictions of the Ten Shadows Technique, able to endlessly summon Shikigami as long as his Cursed Energy was sufficient.
The Shadow Crocodile's Purgatory Shadow Hell was the same.
This was a shadow Hell without a single gap, a Hell where countless Shadow Crocodiles would completely tear apart anyone who fell into it.
Shadow versus Shadow.
Shikigami versus Shadow Crocodile.
Although achieving Domain Expansion at this age was something to be proud of...
Although if they continued to stalemate, Mahoraga would soon be able to defeat the Shadow Crocodile's main body...
Eichi was very annoyed.
Extremely annoyed.
I've unleashed my ultimate move, why are you, an unknown entity, still putting up such a stubborn resistance?
Why aren't you obediently being exorcised by me?
Even if you gave up resisting, I might not exorcise you, but instead leave you for Geto.
Eichi's current state was very different from his usual self; if it were his usual calm self, he would probably just wait for Mahoraga to exorcise the Shadow Crocodile's main body.
But Eichi, currently influenced by severe negative emotions, didn't want that.
He just wanted to tear the Shadow Crocodile into pieces in a satisfying manner.
Cursed Spirits originate from negative emotions.
Therefore, Jujutsu Sorcerers' minds are mostly abnormal.
Eichi had no strong feelings about this.
He had grown accustomed to maintaining sufficient negative emotions during battle to ensure his combat state.
It was just that this time, when frantically mobilizing all his knowledge and emotions, he was a little reckless.
"So annoying, damn it, I have to vent these emotions."
It's not good to hold it in for too long.
At this moment, Eichi suddenly thought of Gojo Satoru.
He always firmly adhered to his true self, unswayed by anything.
At least, he was before he became a clown.
"I suddenly really want to go complain to Gojo Satoru about the recently released manga, and then the three of us, including Geto, can go play at the beach for a few more days."
Memories with his companions surfaced in his mind.
The frantic smile on Eichi's lips lessened considerably.
Looking at the Shadow Crocodile in the distance, which could only dodge everywhere after Mahoraga had adapted to all its attacks.
Eichi's lips curved up a little more.
"I've decided, I still want to completely tear apart you, who can't read the atmosphere."
With a decision made, Eichi began to retreat.
Soon, Eichi retreated to the edge of the Domain.
"Is this it?"
Eichi, with his back pressed against the Domain, carefully sensed the edge of the Domain.
"Found it."
Finally, Eichi found the passage he had used to enter the cave.
"By my Command Spell, Saber, come behind me immediately."
The crimson Command Spell on the back of his hand flashed.
Artoria, who was currently traveling by car, immediately felt Eichi's summons.
"I'll go ahead."
Artoria told the Assistant Supervisor who was driving, and then her figure disappeared from the car.
"Eh? Please wait, Young Miss Saber..."
The Assistant Supervisor watched in surprise as Artoria, reflected in the rearview mirror, vanished from the car.
"Not good."
Screech.
The Assistant Supervisor slammed on the brakes, stopping by the roadside, then looked helplessly inside the car.
On the other side, Artoria entered combat mode the moment she landed from the summon.
Her blue and white dress armor and invisible sword were already fully equipped.
"Attack this barrier?"
Artoria received Eichi's message.
The Wind Barrier enveloping the Holy Sword dissipated, revealing the golden Holy Sword.
Artoria raised the Holy Sword, aimed its tip at the outer wall of the Domain, and then thrust it with force.
Sizzle.
A sound like a knife scraping glass rang out.
The tip of the Holy Sword pierced the outer wall of the Domain.
Then, a dazzling golden light covered the sword body.
Mana Burst.
Boom.
Crack, crack, crack.
The Shadow Crocodile's Domain instantly had a large hole torn in it.
A Domain can be said to be a type of barrier focused on sealing the inside, where the Domain's caster receives buffs like guaranteed hits.
But everything has a balance; the more focused on internal sealing, the weaker the outside tends to be.
Therefore, except for some special circumstances, Domains are usually easy to break and invade from the outside.
The moment the Shadow Crocodile's Domain shattered, Eichi immediately fully activated his own Domain.
The Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden, following the shattered parts of the Purgatory Shadow Hell, covered and destroyed the Purgatory Shadow Hell in one go.
Mahoraga stepped forward and pinned down the inescapable Shadow Crocodile.
"Hahaha, finally."
"Let's begin this feast."
Eichi's hands, which had been forming a Seal, relaxed and stretched out to both sides, then began to wave elegantly.
Just like a musician waving a conductor's baton.
The Shadow Crocodile was swallowed by the abyssal shadow, and then countless Shikigami swarmed it.
The Jade Hounds bit off the Shadow Crocodile's fins.
The Qiongqi bit off the Shadow Crocodile's tail.
The Giant Elephant directly used its tusks to prop open the Shadow Crocodile's wide-open mouth.
Then the Giant Elephant exerted force in one direction, directly breaking the Shadow Crocodile's lower jaw.
Even the Rabbit Escape and the Toad joined this gluttonous feast.
Soon, the Shadow Crocodile was completely devoured by the Shikigami in the Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden.
The Shikigami in the Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden returned to their nests, awaiting the next visitor.
The Domain began to dissipate.
Eichi, remembering something, suddenly clapped his hands sharply against his face.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed in the cave.
Because of the excessive force, the flesh on Eichi's face rippled, and two slap marks appeared on his face.
Eichi's frantic smile was instantly contorted beyond recognition.
Then the Reverse Cursed Technique began to work.
The red marks disappeared, and Eichi's slightly distorted expression due to pain also returned to normal the second before the Domain vanished.
The next moment, Eichi, who had returned to his sunny and cheerful big boy appearance, turned and smiled at Artoria.
"It's over, let's go back, Ria."
That was close. If Ria had seen that expression just now, she wouldn't think I'm some big villain, would she?
No, I need to strengthen my expression management in the future. Gojo Satoru is one thing, but I absolutely cannot show that perverted expression in front of Ria.
"Are you... alright?"
Artoria asked hesitantly.
Just as she broke the barrier, she felt that Eichi was a little off.
This made Artoria a little worried.
"Haha, I'm fine, I'm fine. Aren't you confident in my strength? The Reverse Cursed Technique has already healed everything."
Eichi laughed, masking the panic in his heart.
Ria probably didn't notice, right?
"Oh, and this battle was quite draining. Let's go get something to eat."
Upon hearing about food, Artoria's interest was immediately piqued.
"Let's go."
Artoria decided to investigate the situation from earlier after lunch.
