Medea's barrier was already filled with a flood of shadows.
"This is a bit troublesome now."
Medea frowned slightly and began to unleash her full power.
At this moment, even the surrounding air changed.
Medea possessed A-Rank Territory Creation, and the territories she created surpassed most mages, reaching the level of a temple.
No one would deny the power of anything related to a god.
In her temple, Medea's various abilities would receive a significant boost, giving her a chance to win even against multiple enemies of the same Rank.
Oh, except for close combat.
Soon, the crumbling barrier was heavily reinforced by Medea.
"It was truly the correct decision not to make a wish in the temporary workshop."
The temporary workshop Medea referred to was naturally not the one in the High School storeroom, but a magical workshop that could fully enhance a mage's abilities.
In fact, ever since the last mix-up, Medea had urgently relocated all her collections and set up a large number of autonomous barriers in the new temporary workshop to prevent anyone from entering without her permission.
Although even with her permission, they still wouldn't be allowed in.
"The continuously expanding shadows and the increasingly powerful Soul, it seems Eichi has succeeded."
A smile appeared on Medea's face beneath her hood.
For her, the stronger her Master was, the better.
Medea was not a Heroic Spirit who enjoyed fighting on the front lines.
Rather than personally stepping onto the battlefield, Medea preferred to control everything from within her own territory.
During the Fifth Holy Grail War, Medea employed numerous tactics.
For example, summoning Sasaki Kojiro, seizing Saber, and so on.
When Kuzuki Souichirou chose to fight, she would quietly retreat to the back, fully supporting her Master.
Inside the barrier.
Eichi's body was floating in an ocean composed of shadows.
Deep within Eichi's Soul, a door leading to the Shadow World had been successfully opened.
The Dao Reversal Jade in Eichi's Soul had been repaired.
Xiao Bai had once again transformed back into a Shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique.
At this moment, Xiao Bai was wagging its tail continuously beside Eichi.
Eichi vigorously rubbed Xiao Bai's dog head, then sat cross-legged on the Spell array of the Ten Shadows Technique.
In front of Eichi, Mahoraga, which had originally stood motionless, also sat cross-legged with Eichi's movement.
Countless pieces of information flooded into Mahoraga's mind.
Mahoraga analyzed, filtered, and screened this information according to Eichi's requests, then transmitted it back to Eichi's mind.
Sitting before the door, Eichi wholeheartedly felt the power continuously gushing from the Shadow World, analyzing the root of the Ten Shadows Technique deep within the Shadow World.
Ever-changing.
This was Eichi's deepest feeling about the Shadow World.
Things in the real world are fixed; a mountain is a mountain, a tree is a tree.
Everything seems to have a fixed number.
But the Shadow World is different; everything here changes.
Mountains might flow, rivers might solidify, and tangible life might turn intangible at any moment.
At this moment, Eichi experienced something more interesting than an open-world game.
Shadows transformed freely in front of Eichi, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes light, sometimes heavy... Eichi extended his hands, and Mahoraga also extended its large hands to cover Eichi's hands.
Under Eichi's urging, the Spell array of the Ten Shadows Technique beneath him continuously injected Cursed Energy into Eichi's and Mahoraga's hands.
One, two, three... ten.
With Mahoraga's help.
Something very similar to the Dharma Wheel on Mahoraga's head appeared in the center of the four palms.
Ultimate Art: Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel.
The next moment, Eichi's Soul returned.
The shadows in the barrier began to recede like a tide.
Eichi's eyes also opened at this moment.
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel appeared above Eichi's head.
Eichi looked at the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel above his head with satisfaction.
Cool, now I finally don't have to fight Mahoraga for the Dharma Wheel.
Ding.
With the injection of Cursed Energy, the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel began to rotate and finally stopped at Nue's position.
Eichi's shadow began to move up his body until it covered his back.
A pair of wings shimmering with lightning popped out from Eichi's back.
Those were Nue's wings.
"This color... change it to black."
The shadow seemed to understand Eichi's words and began to cover the brown wings; when the shadow receded again, the wings on Eichi's back had turned into black wings, like those of a fallen angel.
"That's more like it."
Eichi nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's get a weapon too."
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel above his head rotated.
A black sphere appeared in Eichi's hand; that was the core of Piercing Ox.
Shadows covered the core of Piercing Ox, and a greatsword with Piercing Ox's style appeared in Eichi's hand.
Eichi swung the sword in his hand.
"It seems more suitable as a spear."
Piercing Ox's greatest characteristic is linear acceleration; the greater the distance, the higher the damage.
However, direct thrusts with a sword are too rare.
Soon, a double-pointed spear appeared in Eichi's hand.
"Why does it look a bit like the trident in the cooking hag's hand..."
Never mind, I can't just break off one of the ox horns.
He nodded towards Medea, then soared into the sky, breaking through the ceiling and flying into the training ground.
Eichi enjoyed the feeling of freely flying in the sky.
This feeling was much more exhilarating than flying on Yuto's back.
His gaze swept around, and Eichi quickly found the straw dummies for close combat training that had been newly installed a few days ago.
Eichi raised the spear and threw it forcefully towards the dummy.
The next moment, the dummy was directly cut in half by the Piercing Ox spear; not only that, but the entire Piercing Ox spear plunged into the ground.
"Indeed, the speed of throwing it like this is much faster than Piercing Ox running by itself."
Eichi looked at the effect caused by Piercing Ox with satisfaction.
Just as Eichi was continuously imagining his future self, clad in armor created by the Ten Shadows Technique, clashing head-on with those he previously dared not engage in close combat, an unexpected voice reached Eichi's ears:
"Hey~ birdman up there~ Yaga-sensei wants you to fix the ceiling."
'Bird... birdman, Gojo Satoru, you call my handsome appearance a birdman.'
Eichi was about to go down and argue with Gojo Satoru, but then he suddenly remembered the latter half of Gojo Satoru's sentence.
Ceiling?
'Oh no, I got too excited and carried away just now.'
Eichi flapped his wings and returned to the ground from the air.
The Piercing Ox spear was also retracted.
"Eichi, what kind of look is that? It's pretty cool."
"Of course, do you think I'm a pretty boy like you?"
"What, you're jealous of my fair skin? Do you want me to teach you how to maintain it?"
"Then teach me."
Eichi was curious to hear what skin care secrets Gojo Satoru could reveal.
"Just go out less often and use Limitless more when you have nothing to do."
"..."
Eichi suddenly remembered something.
Before he went to High School, Gojo Satoru really did go out very rarely.
Out of 365 days a year, he spent over 300 days in his clan, and even if his clothes weren't traditional attire like kimonos or kariginu, he would still wrap himself up tightly.
That level of tightness, Shoko might not even be able to match it.
"Satoru."
"You think it's very useful too, right?"
"I wasn't talking about that."
"Then what do you want to talk about?"
Gojo Satoru, who was plucking feathers from Eichi's wings, looked up curiously.
"Are you a sheltered young Master?"
