Seeing Eiji in his tattered appearance, the corners of Kenjaku's lips curved into a thin smirk.
"Jogo, Hanami, Mahito, Dagon, hold on a little longer. Kamiki Eiji has reached his limit; he shouldn't be able to last much longer."
He relayed this good news to the four Special Grade Cursed Spirits maintaining the Curtain's strength.
Jogo: "Finally, this guy is really tough. Indeed, I underestimated him a bit earlier."
Hanami: "That's good; if this situation drags on, I'm afraid Gojo Satoru will sense something is wrong and come to check it out."
Mahito: "It's a pity, I wanted to absorb his soul. Kamiki Eiji's soul looks very enticing."
Dagon: "..."
Anger, worry, regret, and relief. The four of them displayed different responses. However, they all had one thing in common: they wanted this situation to end soon.
Their task seemed easy, maintaining the Curtain's position aligned with the four Divine Beast symbols. Whenever the Curtain was damaged, it would automatically repair itself as they channeled their Cursed Energy.
From morning till night, their Cursed Energy was severely drained in maintaining the Curtain. After all, Eiji would occasionally launch attacks on the Curtain even while surrounded by Cursed Spirits from all directions.
"Excessive use of Reversed Cursed Technique has caused severe damage to his brain. He can no longer continue his desperate struggle."
"I've won."
After the ice dome shattered, Kenjaku couldn't help but smile broadly upon seeing the powerless Eiji.
❀❀❀
On the battlefield.
At his critical moment, Eiji did something nearly impossible for most Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Using Black Flash, he hacked his brain's system by creating new circuit pathways, enabling him to use the Reversed Cursed Technique again.
"Success!"
Eiji's eyes sparkled with joy; his dangerous maneuver had restored his condition.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Scarlet."
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Cyan."
With an energy orb containing ice power in his left hand and an energy orb containing fire power in his right hand, he perfectly integrated the two normally incompatible elements.
"Disintegration Technique: Olive."
A yellowish-green energy orb with a dark hue floated at the tip of his index finger.
Without noticing the thin smile on his face, Eiji hurled Olive forward.
Then, Olive emitted a bright light that illuminated the entire Curtain and formed a massive fireball.
*BOOOOOM*
The enormous fireball, more than two hundred feet in width, formed a pillar of light that pierced the top of the Curtain and damaged it.
*Crack Crack Crack*
The destructive power contained in the fireball caused the surrounding space to become heavily distorted. There were even faint black spatial cracks appearing.
The huge fireball seemed like another sun, emitting a terrifying heat.
"Roar—"
Countless Cursed Spirits perished without even having the chance to dodge or howl.
At a glance, this scene looked very beautiful. However, beneath this beautiful surface lay terrible destruction. A loud, earth-shaking noise was heard.
"This is bad!"
The relaxed expressions of the four Special Grade Cursed Spirits were replaced by shock and surprise. They immediately channeled Cursed Energy madly to keep the Curtain intact. Even so, the Curtain shook violently, and many cracks quickly appeared, surpassing the limits of automatic repair.
"Geto, do something! If this continues, the Curtain will break!" Jogo shouted angrily, spewing flames from his volcano-shaped head.
"I know, we can't let Kamiki Eiji escape."
The sudden change in the situation made Kenjaku feel urgency. He hadn't expected that at the critical moment, the other side would not only recover but also develop a new technique he hadn't seen before.
With no other choice, he joined the formation's core. Otherwise, the Curtain would collapse, and the other side could escape.
Kenjaku would not let that happen!
He had sacrificed many resources for this plan and revealed some of his trump cards. Wouldn't he suffer a great loss if this assassination plan failed?
With Kenjaku joining, the Curtain gradually stopped trembling and was successfully maintained.
'That was close... Olive, huh... It's even stronger than Purple. Indeed, no bearer of the Six Eyes is easy to kill.'
Honestly, Kenjaku had killed bearers of the Six Eyes in the past, but that was when they were still immature.
As for the mature bearers of the Six Eyes?
He had been defeated by them twice.
'This is a great loss. The earlier attack wiped out at least two million Cursed Spirits. With this, Kamiki Eiji alone has exterminated six million Cursed Spirits.'
'He is a monster.'
Seeing the frightening potential of the other side, Kenjaku was even more determined to eliminate Kamiki Eiji here, no matter the cost.
In his mind, Kamiki Eiji was an even greater threat than Gojo Satoru.
❀❀❀
Inside the Curtain, the Cursed Spirits had significantly decreased after the earlier attack.
A giant crater, as if just struck by a meteor, had formed on the ground, emitting extreme heat.
From the crater's base, a hand with exposed flesh appeared, and a terrifying figure resembling an anatomy class model crawled out from the ground.
"This hurts so much... Cough Cough Cough..."
The figure was none other than Eiji.
As for why he was in this condition, it was because he had been affected by his own attack.
Until recently, the reason why Infinity was forcibly deactivated remains unknown.
With no other defense method, Eiji had no choice but to endure the destructive power of Olive.
"Reversed Cursed Technique." He muttered weakly.
In just a few seconds, he, who seemed to be suffering from third-degree burns, was now fully healed.
Except for his clothes, which had burned away leaving nothing but his pants torn and scorched, all the wounds on Eiji's body disappeared.
Even his white hair, which had burned away, grew back to shoulder length.
"It's a pity that the Leaf Sword is destroyed."
Although the Leaf Sword was a Special Grade Cursed Tool, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of slashes against Cursed Spirits, it was natural for it to wear out. Plus, the Olive explosion had completely rendered the Leaf Sword useless.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
As if not feeling any fear, the remaining Cursed Spirits attacked Eiji from all directions.
Kenjaku would not let him use Olive a second time.
"This Curtain is tougher than I thought, not even breaking after the earlier explosion."
Taking a First Grade Cursed Tool in the form of a katana from his Storage Ring, Eiji's figure moved through the Cursed Spirits.
Only white flashes were seen, and Cursed Spirits were sliced apart every second.
Relying on his agility and nimbleness, Eiji ran through the crowd of Cursed Spirits and began the slaughter!
