'It's the same type of attack as Tsuchigumo's.'
Realizing this, Satoru immediately looked up at the sky.
Under the precise control of the Six Eyes, Limitless displayed an extremely high level of resilience.
The attacks capable of nullifying all Cursed Techniques continuously tried to dismantle and destroy Satoru's Limitless.
Whether it was because she ran out of energy from blowing the horn, or because her Cursed Energy output had reached its limit and she needed to slow down, Hana stopped blowing the horn.
The moment Jacob's Ladder disappeared, Tsuchigumo's fists followed in quick succession.
After suffering repeated heavy blows, Limitless began to waver, and at that moment, Kenjaku and the others' Domain Expansions were about to arrive.
Repeatedly targeted, Satoru's Limitless was on the verge of collapse and could no longer withstand Domain Expansion like before, so he began to evade in an uncharacteristic manner.
An intense battle began, and Satoru immersed himself wholeheartedly in this fight, using his full power for the first time in a long while.
Why was Satoru strong?
His fundamental strength lay in the powerful and perfect system formed by the combination of Limitless and the Six Eyes.
The absolutely untouchable Limitless, and Purple, which could pierce even space and was almost impossible to defend against.
Blue and Red, which could both attack and defend, and had a wide variety of uses.
And the unparalleled Cursed Energy manipulation granted by the Six Eyes.
For example, he could achieve the highest output with the lowest Cursed Energy consumption, without wasting even a trace of Cursed Energy.
For example, his extremely high Cursed Energy recovery rate, and his efficiency in operating Reverse Cursed Technique, which even Shoko and the others could not come close to matching.
Tsuchigumo, who could destroy everything, and Hana, who could nullify Cursed Techniques, were far simpler than Satoru in terms of mechanics.
But that did not matter, because their ability to destroy Cursed Techniques was enough to threaten the most troublesome part of Satoru's system, Limitless.
The rest would be supplemented by the others.
Just like in a game, in many situations, no matter how well an ADC developed, the disadvantaged side still had hope of making a comeback.
Because an ADC was very fragile, even an underdeveloped assassin still had a chance to trade their life for theirs.
But if the overwhelming advantage belonged to a well-rounded fighter, the disadvantaged side's chances of surrendering would be much higher.
Similarly, once Limitless, touted as absolutely untouchable, was broken, everyone would have a chance to kill Satoru.
The battle entered the realm of pure skill and experience.
"Hahahaha, you're really interesting, kid. I'm getting more and more eager to taste you."
Tsuchigumo laughed as he swung his four arms, his Cursed Technique-destroying fists raining down like a dense storm on Satoru and the space around him.
"Do people from a thousand years ago all like eating people that much?"
Satoru quipped.
Bang, bang, bang!
An intense hand-to-hand battle unfolded between two beings of completely different sizes.
"Sword and Halberd: Sakura."
Brilliant petals flew out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, only for Satoru to dodge them all.
Following closely after them were Ibaraki Doji's lightning and Kenjaku's Blood Manipulation.
From time to time, Jacob's Ladder, capable of nullifying all Cursed Techniques, descended from the sky.
'Why is that child helping them?'
No matter how intense the battle became, Satoru constantly kept track of Hana's actions.
Because Hana and Tsuchigumo were the only two presences on the field capable of breaking through Limitless.
Another Jacob's Ladder descended.
Because the Cursed Technique's activation was preceded by the distinct motion of blowing a horn, Satoru's response to Jacob's Ladder became increasingly timely.
It was Tsuchigumo's extremely fast and powerful fists that were difficult to deal with.
'Three types of Cursed Energy?'
The moment Jacob's Ladder disappeared, Satoru noticed a detail.
As the Cursed Energy around Hana weakened, two other obscured Cursed Energies were exposed.
Satoru had seen one of them before. It was Hana's own Cursed Energy. The remaining two clearly did not belong to her.
Satoru knew Hana because Eichi had taken him, or rather, had taken Megumi, to visit her a few times.
According to Eichi, this girl was completely smitten with Megumi and had a chance to become Fushiguro Hana in the future.
That was why Satoru had an impression of this girl.
Therefore, upon seeing the two Cursed Energies that did not belong to Hana, Satoru knew she was being controlled.
Bang.
Punching the approaching Ibaraki Doji away, Satoru backflipped to dodge Sugawara no Michizane's lightning dragon, then tilted his head to make Kenjaku's Convergence: Piercing Blood miss.
Due to the dual destruction from Tsuchigumo and Hana, Satoru's Limitless was repeatedly pushed to the brink of collapse.
Because of this, Satoru could only continuously restore the damaged Limitless while trying to reduce the pressure on it to prevent it from being completely destroyed.
'This big spider is as tough as he looks.'
Satoru punched Tsuchigumo in the abdomen. An attack that would have severely injured Jogo and made Hanami very uncomfortable did not cause much damage to Tsuchigumo.
The fist mark on Tsuchigumo's abdomen quickly returned to normal.
'At the very least, I need to use Red. To be safe, Purple would be the best way to destroy him.'
Satoru made a judgment in his mind.
However, in this fierce battlefield, would everyone give Satoru the chance to unleash Purple?
Certainly not.
Countless attacks enveloped Satoru.
At that moment, Satoru was like a small boat in a storm, always in danger of capsizing.
However, with his unparalleled observational skills and powerful physical combat, he resolved crisis after crisis in time.
But neither Kenjaku nor Abe no Seimei was in a hurry.
Because if this continued, victory would surely belong to them in the end.
Because of Cursed Energy consumption.
With the help of the Six Eyes, the Cursed Energy Satoru consumed in normal battles was less than what he recovered.
This meant that although Satoru had less Cursed Energy than Yuta, his battle duration was far longer.
However, that only applied to normal battles.
Not in a dangerous situation like this, where one wrong move would be irreversible.
The burden on his brain from observing the entire battlefield at high frequency.
The enormous Cursed Energy consumption from constantly maintaining and repairing Limitless, and the physical burden from high-intensity close combat.
Even during his last battle with Sukuna, Satoru had not been pushed to such an extreme extent.
'Should I use Domain Expansion?'
Satoru flipped through the air as Kidomaru and Ibaraki Doji's twin swords slashed above and below him. Then he lightly tapped the empty air with his right foot, and his body instantly shot several meters away to dodge Tsuchigumo's fist.
Satoru extended his right hand toward the ground and pushed off, springing his body upward as a bloody flying wheel sliced through the spot where he was about to land.
"Blue."
While flipping through the air, Satoru waved his left hand, and a cerulean black hole sucked in all the flames attacking from behind.
'Abe no Seimei has always kept a distance of 150 meters. If I deploy a Domain, I can't guarantee I'll pull him in, and Hana has also maintained a safe altitude. If I use Domain Expansion, there's a high chance they will shatter it from the outside.'
Satoru muttered, "Troublesome."
However, while using a Domain was inconvenient for Satoru, it was convenient for Kenjaku.
"Domain Expansion: Womb Profusion."
With the backs of his hands pressed together, a giant tree covered in countless distorted faces burst from the ground.
The next moment, the Domain attack, enhanced with a sure-hit effect, began to neutralize and break through Satoru's Limitless.
As Satoru turned around, Tsuchigumo blocked the direction he wanted to advance.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
His two right fists struck fiercely toward Satoru.
"Shinkage-ryu: Simple Domain."
A Cursed Tool Satoru had originally kept for fun was used.
Limitless was canceled by Satoru at that moment, and Womb Profusion's sure-hit attack was neutralized by Simple Domain.
Satoru condensed enough Cursed Energy for defense, then was sent flying violently by Tsuchigumo's fists.
"Oh? You're actually using my attack to escape."
Tsuchigumo saw through Satoru's plan, but having swung his fists with full force, he could not stop now.
Satoru flew out of the Domain at extremely high speed, his nearly broken arms rapidly recovering under Reverse Cursed Technique.
But at that moment, Abe no Seimei, who had been controlling the overall situation and commanding his Shikigami, suddenly moved to block Satoru's path.
