Medea's barrier was already filled with a flood of shadows.
"This is getting a bit troublesome."
Medea frowned slightly and began to unleash her full power.
At this moment, even the surrounding air seemed to change.
Medea possessed A-rank territory creation ability, and the territories she created surpassed those of the vast majority of magi, reaching the level of a temple.
Anything related to gods was undeniably powerful.
Within a temple, Medea's various abilities would receive significant boosts, giving her a chance to win even against multiple enemies of the same level.
Of course, this excluded physical combat.
Soon, the precarious barrier was heavily reinforced by Medea.
"It was the right decision not to make a wish in the temporary workshop."
The temporary workshop Medea mentioned was naturally not the one in Jujutsu High's storage room, but a magical workshop that could provide comprehensive buffs to a magus.
In fact, after the previous mishap, Medea had urgently transferred all her collections and set up numerous autonomous barriers in a new temporary workshop to prevent anyone from intruding without her permission.
Even with permission, she wouldn't let them in.
"The ever-expanding shadows, and the increasingly powerful soul. It seems Eiji succeeded."
A smile appeared on Medea's face from beneath her hood.
For her, the Master was naturally better off being stronger.
Medea was not a Heroic Spirit who enjoyed front-line combat.
Rather than stepping onto the battlefield herself, Medea preferred to control everything from within her territory.
During the Fifth Holy Grail War, Medea had employed numerous tactics.
For example, summoning Sasaki Kojiro and seizing Saber.
When Kuzuki Souchiro chose to fight, she would also quietly retreat to the rear and fully support her Master.
Within the barrier.
Eiji's body was floating in a sea of shadows.
Deep within Eiji's soul, a door leading to the shadow world had been successfully opened.
The "Dou-san Jade" in Eiji's soul had been repaired.
Divine Dog: White had transformed back into a Summoned Spirit of the Ten Shadows Technique.
At this moment, Divine Dog: White was wagging its tail incessantly beside Eiji.
Eiji vigorously rubbed Divine Dog: White's head, then sat down cross-legged on the magic circle of the Ten Shadows Technique.
Before Eiji, Mahoraga, which had been standing still, also sat down cross-legged in sync with Eiji's movements.
Countless pieces of information flooded into Mahoraga's mind.
Mahoraga analyzed, screened, and filtered this information according to Eiji's request, then transmitted it back to Eiji's mind.
Sitting before the door, Eiji wholeheartedly felt the power continuously surging from the shadow world, analyzing the origin of the Ten Shadows Technique from the depths of the shadow world.
Unpredictable.
This was Eiji's deepest impression of the shadow world.
Things in the real world were fixed; a mountain was a mountain, a tree was a tree.
Everything seemed predetermined.
But the shadow world was different; here, everything transformed.
Mountains might flow, rivers might freeze, and tangible life could turn into the intangible at any moment.
At this moment, Eiji felt an experience more interesting than any open-world game.
Shadows shifted freely before Eiji, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes heavy, sometimes light...
Eiji extended his hands, and Mahoraga also extended its large hands to cover Eiji's.
Under Eiji's activation, the magic circle of the Ten Shadows Technique beneath them continuously injected Cursed Energy into the hands of Eiji and Mahoraga.
One, two, three... ten.
With Mahoraga's help.
Something very similar to the halo above Mahoraga's head appeared in the center of the four hands.
Maximum Technique: Ten Shadows Wheel.
The next moment, Eiji's soul returned.
The shadows in the barrier began to recede like a tide.
Eiji's eyes also opened at this moment.
The Ten Shadows Wheel appeared above Eiji's head.
Eiji looked at the Ten Shadows Wheel above his head with satisfaction.
Cool, now I don't have to fight Mahoraga for the Wheel.
Ding.
As Cursed Energy was injected, the Ten Shadows Wheel began to spin, finally stopping at Nue's position.
Eiji's shadow began to creep upwards along his body, eventually covering Eiji's back.
A pair of wings, crackling with lightning, emerged from Eiji's back.
Those were Nue's wings.
"This color... change it to black."
The shadow seemed to understand Eiji's words and began to cover the brown wings. When the shadow receded again, the wings on Eiji's back had transformed into black wings, like those of a fallen angel.
"That's more like it."
Eiji nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's get a weapon too."
The Ten Shadows Wheel above his head spun.
A black sphere appeared in Eiji's hand; it was the core of Uroya.
Shadows covered the Uroya core, and a greatsword in the style of Uroya appeared in Eiji's hand.
Eiji swung the sword in his hand.
"It seems more suited to be a spear."
Uroya's greatest characteristic is its linear acceleration; the further the distance, the higher the damage.
However, there are too few situations for a straight sword thrust.
Soon, a double-pointed spear appeared in Eiji's hand.
"Why does it look a bit like the trident that the cooking woman uses..."
Whatever, I can't exactly break off one of its horns.
He nodded towards Medea, then shot straight up, smashing through the ceiling and flying out to the training ground.
Eiji reveled in the feeling of flying freely through the sky.
This feeling was much better than flying on Qiongqi.
His gaze swept across the area, and Eiji quickly found the training dummy he had acquired a few days ago for physical combat training.
Eiji raised the spear and threw it forcefully at the dummy.
The next moment, the dummy was cut in half by the Uroya spear. Not only that, but the entire Uroya spear was embedded in the ground.
"As expected, throwing it like this is much faster than Uroya running by itself."
Eiji looked at the effect caused by Uroya with satisfaction.
Just as Eiji was lost in thought, imagining himself in the future, clad in armor made from the Ten Shadows Technique, engaging head-on with those he previously wouldn't dare to spar with in terms of physical combat, an unexpected voice reached Eiji's ears.
"Hey~ Birdman up there~ Teacher Yaga wants you to fix the ceiling."
'Bird... Birdman? Satoru Gojo, you call my cool appearance a birdman?'
Eiji was about to go down and argue with Satoru Gojo when he suddenly remembered the latter half of Gojo's sentence.
The ceiling?
'Shoot, I got too excited and carried away just now.'
Eiji flapped his wings, returning to the ground from the air.
The Uroya spear was also retracted.
"Eiji, what's with the getup? It looks pretty cool."
"Of course. Do you think I'm a pretty boy like you?"
"What, are you jealous of my fair skin? Want me to teach you how to take care of it?"
"Then teach me."
Eiji was curious to hear what skincare secrets Satoru Gojo would come up with.
"Just go out less often, and keep your Infinity active when you have nothing else to do."
"..."
Eiji suddenly remembered something.
Before he even attended Jujutsu High, Satoru Gojo really did rarely go out.
He spent over 300 days a year within the clan, and even when not wearing traditional attire like kimonos or hunting robes, he would cover himself up tightly.
The level of coverage was such that even Shoko might not compare.
"Satoru."
"You think it's useful too, right?"
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what are you going to say?"
Satoru Gojo, who was plucking feathers from Eiji's wings, looked up strangely.
"Are you some kind of sheltered pretty boy?"
