Nobara, who had not yet joined the battle and still had free time, clicked on the message the moment she saw the panel prompt.
[Blessing of the Holy Grail]
[Description: Congratulations, you have met the conditions and received the Blessing of the Holy Grail. You can choose one of the following Noble Phantasms to use.]
[1. Excalibur]
[2. Gae Bolg]
[3. Unlimited Blade Works: Alter (Can be used to negate the Domain effect of Demon King Satoru.)]
[4. Rule Breaker]
...
After reading the message, Nobara was silent for a moment, then immediately raised her hammer to the sky.
"Are you messing with me? If you had brought this out earlier, would I still have had to run up and down grinding for points?"
Nobara, who was not very good at running and whose legs were now extremely sore, roared in anger.
"Unfair! I protest!"
Also roaring at the sky was Satoru, who had seen the contents of everyone's panels with his Six Eyes.
"Why can they play with Noble Phantasms and I can't? This is discrimination! I protest!"
Satoru's eyes were filled with envy as he looked at the list of Noble Phantasms on the panel.
More than ten years ago, he had wanted to borrow a few Noble Phantasms to play with, but unfortunately, not only did he fail to get them, Medea, in a fit of rage, stabbed him in the kidney and threw him into Tokyo Bay.
With Satoru's strength, if Medea had attacked him head-on, she definitely would not have been able to stab him.
So she chose to spatially transfer behind him the moment Satoru entered the shrine's range, then hit him with a Noble Phantasm.
Finally, she used a pre-prepared teleportation array to throw Satoru into the sea to feed the sharks.
Now, seeing that each of his students could choose a Noble Phantasm to play with, while only he could not, Satoru was incredibly envious and jealous.
Is it just because I'm the Demon King that you won't let me choose? Demon Kings have human rights too!
So Satoru felt he had to protest.
Suguru: What about me?
"Ora!"
Just as Suguru was looking speechlessly at the constantly bouncing Satoru, two fists struck toward Suguru one after another.
"Oh, you're awake."
Suguru smiled as he looked at Yuji and Todo, who had returned to the battlefield.
"We really appreciate your care just now. Now we're going to return it with interest."
Todo's fists collided, emitting a dull thud.
"That's right. Be prepared."
Yuji echoed, while also being unable to stop himself from reaching back to scratch his butt.
"Then I'll have to get a little serious too."
A red light flashed in Suguru's eyes, and one Special Grade Cursed Spirit after another appeared behind him.
"Hey, Maki."
Todo suddenly turned to look at Maki, who had drawn her double-edged greatsword and was staring at the Special Grade Cursed Spirits with shining eyes.
"What is it?"
Maki stopped just as she was about to advance.
"Fushiguro is looking for you. Go quickly. Leave this place to me and my brother."
After speaking, Todo and Yuji began their charge.
Maki turned to glance at Megumi, and after confirming that he was indeed looking for her, she directly picked up Mai and began to move.
"What is it?"
Maki put down Mai, who was a little flushed from the sudden attack.
"Have you claimed a Noble Phantasm?"
"Noble Phantasm?"
Maki opened her panel in confusion and found the latest message alert.
"If not, I hope you can exchange for Rule Breaker. This Noble Phantasm can dispel Satoru-sensei's Limitless, and among us, you are the only one who has a chance to use this Noble Phantasm in close combat."
Megumi looked at Maki with a solemn expression.
"I understand. Leave it to me."
Maki claimed Rule Breaker but did not take it out immediately. Instead, she planned to wait for the right moment to launch a surprise attack.
A new round of battle began.
Unlike the previous battle with its wide-open space, this time, due to Suguru releasing a large number of Cursed Spirits, the field became a chaotic mess.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no, Maki-chan."
Satoru's teasing tone made Maki very annoyed.
"Anything with Cursed Energy can't escape the Six Eyes, including that little dagger in your hand."
That's right, Maki's surprise attack failed.
Because she took out Rule Breaker the moment before her attack, the surge of Cursed Energy fluctuation was clearly captured by the Six Eyes.
The Satoru of today was no longer the Tokyo Jujutsu High Gojo who could be ambushed by Toji.
Trying to defeat him with the same tactic would not work.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
A crimson orb instantly flew toward Maki.
Maki immediately took out the Thousand Machine Umbrella and held it in front of her. The powerful force knocked Maki flying.
However, the crimson orb formed by Red did not explode. Instead, it suddenly changed direction and flew toward the sky.
This scene caught Megumi's attention.
'In the sky, could it be...'
Megumi immediately looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a Blue, which had been thrown upward at some unknown point and had never been canceled, was suspended there.
"No, quickly cancel Mahoraga's summoning!"
Megumi shouted at Toge, but it was already too late.
The light of Purple bloomed, and the two Mahoraga that Satoru had been fully restraining were enveloped by Purple.
Megumi watched unwillingly as the two Mahoraga, which were close to completing their adaptation and about to be able to fight Satoru head-on, were annihilated.
"Fushiguro, let's use Excalibur together."
Nobara walked up to Megumi and suggested this.
"That kind of attack won't hit Satoru-sensei."
Megumi shook his head.
"I know, but what if there's more than one Excalibur?"
Hearing this, Megumi realized what she meant.
"As you said, it's impossible to defeat Satoru-sensei by conventional means. Even Maki-nee couldn't hit Satoru-sensei with Rule Breaker.
So we can only use an area-of-effect attack. Let a few people leave beforehand, and everyone else unleashes Excalibur, leaving Satoru-sensei with no escape."
"..."
Megumi understood Nobara's meaning. They intended to use a suicide attack to take out Satoru and Suguru, then let the few who left earlier decide the final winner.
"I understand."
Megumi made his decision and found Noritoshi.
Noritoshi hesitated for a moment, but seeing the two four-armed Mahoraga being steadily forced back in front of them, he still made his decision.
"We will cooperate with your actions."
"Oh, a few of them escaped. Did they go to grind for points again, like Nobara?"
Satoru, who was happily beating up students with his Mahoraga and was practically ready to eat hotpot and sing a song, suddenly detected several massive Cursed Energy fluctuations.
Besides those who had already left, there were also a few others who had exchanged for other Noble Phantasms.
The radiance of seven Excaliburs shone across the entire platform.
"Whoa, whoa, no way. You're going this far?"
Satoru was so surprised that the sunglasses he had just put on fell off.
Although he had wanted to taste Excalibur more than ten years ago, seven of them were too much.
Also dumbfounded was Eichi, who was outside the arena.
"I gave you Noble Phantasms so you could cooperate! Cooperate!
Why are you all using Noble Phantasms to commit suicide with Satoru?!"
The next second, the entire control room was enveloped in red light.
[Warning! Warning! High-energy reaction detected. Probability of imaginary world destruction is 80%. Please take appropriate measures immediately!]
"I #$$>!"
Looking at the golden torrent capable of destroying everything, produced by the seven attacks crashing together, Eichi cursed quite foully.
These Noble Phantasm projections and the released Cursed Energy came from the imaginary world.
And they were also attacking the imaginary world.
This was simply a classic case of "I kill myself."
But Eichi could not just ignore it. If Satoru died, then he died. Anyway, that was just a spiritual body clone, and his main body was perfectly fine.
But the problem was, the imaginary world had to be preserved.
The testing of the imaginary world was conducted within Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Once the imaginary world was destroyed, the Tombs of the Star Corridor would be the first to suffer, followed by Tokyo Jujutsu High.
If the imaginary world could not be saved, then the entire Tokyo Jujutsu High would probably be gone.
So, Satoru, what exactly did you do?
You actually forced those students to choose Excalibur out of so many options, determined to take you with them even if it meant death?
Eichi, who had completed the test objective and understood the limits of the imaginary world, was not happy at all.
Instead, his heart was filled with anxiety.
Finally, Eichi chose to pull the plug and cut the power.
With the termination of the Holy Grail's power supply and the severance of the Cursed Technique connecting the spiritual bodies, the golden torrent also lost its sustained power.
But even so, its destructive force did not diminish.
"Hold on for me!"
With the combined efforts of Eichi, Medea, and the others, and finally even Tengen being pulled in to help, the ravaged imaginary world was finally saved.
(To be continued.)
