(First PoV)
Looking at the incarnated sorcerer with the Shikigamis, and him having arrived from the shadows, I realised that this guy must be an ancestor of Zenin clan, and it's an ancient version of Ten Shadows.
That means, he most likely has a trump card like Mahoraga. Didn't Sukuna say something about the ability to adapt to any and all phenomenon of Mahoraga being similar to something else?
In any case, this guy is weaker than Kashimo, since Kashimo was the only significant character that faced the gamble guy, as far as I remember.
So, I need to kill him before he tries to pull out ancient Mahoraga. Otherwise, I will be screwed.
Moreover, Teruhashi is in a weird condition behind me and can't teleport us away.
He has taken out 4 Shikigamis to jump me.
Divine Wolf, a big wolf.
Gamauchi, a big toad.
Katsuyu, a big slug, which seems to be emitting Reverse Cursed Technique.
Garuda, a big eagle.
Toad and slug... where is the snake?
"Do you also have a snake Shikigami?"
"Oh? You guessed my trump card? Don't worry, I don't think you are experienced enough to force me to bring it out yet."
So his trump card must be Mahoraga's ancestor. Afterall, Mahoraga is supposed to be a reptile, and a snake is a reptile.
I let Cursed Energy cover my body in full power, and moved at the guy, aiming for the slug which is emitting Reverse Cursed Technique first.
When taking on an opponent party, take out the healer first!
Divine Wolf lunged at me, but due to my huge Cursed Energy enforcement, I was faster and managed to dodge it by a slim margin, and touched it.
'Reincarnation!'
The big Divine Wolf split into two dogs, one white and other black.
But they still attacked me!
Shit!
"What's this technique!? Splitting my wolf into two?"
I still ran towards Katsuyu, but strangely enough, the two dogs attacked the eagle, and killed it by shredding its neck with their claws and teeth.
I guess reincarnating them also removed their tamed status, and are now attacking anyone in sight.
So seeing this as a chance, I ran into an alleyway.
I am not abandoning Teruhashi. It's to prevent the Zenin clan ancestor from thinking that I will try to save her and take her a hostage.
He doesn't seem to have any interest in her, so drawing him away into this narrow alley where Gamauchi and Katsuyu won't fit is the best course of action.
I looked back, and Katsuyu melted the two dogs with acid attack.
Shit!
"Katsuyu! Acid attack! Gamauchi! Water Jet!"
Is this guy a Pokemon master!? Using combo moves like that!?
I converted my entire Cursed Energy into Reverse Cursed Energy, disrupting their attacks before they could touch me.
But I am now surrounded by acidic water... well, that's just diluted acid. But the quantity is dangerous enough.
I used the Reverse Cursed Technique surrounding me to float on the acid and run towards the Shikigamis.
"So you can use Reverse Cursed Technique to such a degree huh? So you are a prodigy.
Then, I will take you seriously!
My technique is [5 Shadows]—"
"I don't want to hear it!"
I cut the tongue of Gamauchi coming at me with my katana, and wondered if I can channel [Reincarnation] through it instead of just my hands.
Surprisingly enough, I can.
I need to finish this as soon as possible.
