However, every time this happened, an unexpected incident was bound to occur.
Since Mokuro appeared, Mirai had been replaying the relevant information in his mind. His arrival was so strange, and in the days to come, Mirai would be filled with confusion about it.
Linking the events with Mokuro's appearance before his automatic factory departure, the only connection that might tie this to Mirai was that he was drawn out by Jadoro's arrival.
Mirai was a miraculous existence born from the "Six Eyes + Ten Shadows" heretical combination — Jadoro.
The importance of the "Ten Shadows" to Jadoro might be as crucial as the "Six Eyes" to the limitless "Unbounded"!
Of course, this was just a guess on Mirai's part. Only after surviving this sudden disaster would he know for sure.
In the fields, blood gushed from Jadoro's body. Her recovery speed could no longer keep up with Mokuro's fierce strikes.
Without her master's support, Jadoro was in danger!
"The outlook is grim. Your Shikigami can't hold on much longer!" Zenin Naoya said, stating the truth as he secretly felt shocked.
As the former head of the Zenin family, Naoya knew better than anyone how terrifying Mokuro was. This was a ferocious existence that no "Ten Shadows" sorcerer from the Zenin family had ever tamed; it could only be used as a self-destructive trump card!
Even the former head of the Gojo family, who had awakened the most powerful combination of "Six Eyes + Unbounded," had been defeated by Mokuro's unmatched edge. The power of Mokuro was undeniable!
Now, Mirai, at only six years old, had somehow created this mysterious Shikigami that was not even recorded in the Zenin family's history and was actually able to compete with Mokuro.
Is this even human?
In this moment, Zenin Naoya was no longer in doubt. He believed Mirai would become the strongest sorcerer in the entire Jujutsu world, if not in history itself!
"If he survives today..." Naoya murmured.
"Master, please let me go," Zenin Shin'er volunteered, stepping forward.
Rubbing his aching head, Mirai helplessly said, "Mokuro's power is too overwhelming. You can't control him right now."
"Once I recover, we'll attack together. That'll be our best shot."
"Mokuro...?" Mirai's respectful tone towards the powerful Shikigami left Zenin Shin'er speechless.
He couldn't help but complain, "But... it looks like your Shikigami is about to be destroyed = =."
"I'm just joking! We were evenly matched just now~"
"What's going on? Can Mokuro adapt to close combat?" Mirai muttered, beginning to filter out his father's irrelevant advice. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the scene where Jadoro and Mokuro were destroying the parking lot like a whirlwind.
"Dammit!!!"
Looking at Jadoro, covered in blood and struggling to hold on with only two tails, Mirai sat up in shock, his illness momentarily forgotten. He instinctively shouted out.
His newest Shikigami was about to be destroyed before it even warmed up!
He had been so tired, like that sleeping husband in the movies, completely unaware. Damn it!
After harshly berating himself in his mind, Mirai turned around and shouted at Jadoro.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and act!"
"Lexas!!!"
Focusing all his energy, Mirai summoned his Stand, standing firm and urging, "Hurry up~ What are you still thinking about?"
"Lady Jadoro can't handle this!"
Zenin Shin'er: "..."
Zenin Naoya: "..."
The two exchanged silent glances. In each other's expressions, they felt a tinge of anxiety.
Two sighs echoed in the air.
At that moment, the only two top fighters of the Zenin family, under Mirai's guidance, emerged!
In the fields, Mokuro had already destroyed Jadoro's last two tails.
A massive hand reached out for Jadoro's slender waist, aiming to slay the Bone King.
At that moment, Ling Zhi's hazy figure appeared like an invisible barrier between Jadoro and Mokuro.
With a swift kick, she struck Mokuro's wide chin, sending him flying before unleashing a simple, supersonic attack.
Ora! Ora! Ora!
Waste! Waste! Waste!
In an instant, thanks to the "invisibility to non-Stand users," Lexas, though holding his ground in the air against Mokuro, appeared unscathed.
After being hit three times by Mukhatar Dabi's headshots, Zenin Jier and Zenin Zhi had no choice but to fight a guerrilla war, supporting Ling Zhi from the side.
As the top sorcerers of the Jujutsu world, their most powerful move, like Ling Zhi's, was the Turtle Fist.
Unfortunately, physical attacks were useless against Mokuro's tough, formidable body.
No wonder it's a return to the martial arts.
Game balance is perfect.
Off to the side, Mirai's spirit was going through a fiery, tearing sensation.
He pushed his mind to its limit, draining every last bit of his energy to make Ling Zhi's flickering, elusive figure hold on just a bit longer!
If this continued, the three of them, and even the entire Zenin family's future, would be sealed — Mokuro would ruthlessly swing his defeated whip and crush everything in front of him into dust!
Mirai and his group's resistance was futile. They were simply walking toward a slow death.
Knowing this, what was Mirai's final hope that kept them struggling to survive?
Of course —
"Jawdo...Luo?!"
Joy, excitement, tension, fear, and despair all exploded within him at that moment.
Wei Li managed to steal a glance at Jadoro. The complex emotions piled up and instantly exploded.
He saw it.
The once hopeful Jadoro... had actually fallen?!
No! Don't do this!
Looking at Jadoro, who had turned into a shadow due to her severe injuries, only to return to her original form, Mirai felt a wave of sweetness rise in his throat.
Prosperity!
Everything went black in front of his eyes, and he collapsed onto the ground.
At the same time, Ling Zhi's figure vanished from the battlefield.
Without the "invisible" aid, even though Zener Jier and Zener Zhi unleashed 200% of their power at this critical moment, it was still useless.
In an instant, they were controlled by Mokuro's hands, turning into intercontinental missiles, and were violently thrown toward the distant sky's horizon!
Step! Step! Step!
Each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Unstoppable, Mokuro silently walked toward Mirai. His right arm gleamed with the sword's light, heading straight for his head!
At this moment, something unimaginable happened!
Just as the exorcism sword's blade was only 0.01 centimeters from Mirai's small head, Mokuro's movements suddenly halted, like a finely tuned puppet clock!
It was as if time stopped at this moment.
If he woke up later, he would surely realize — since the seal was broken, Mokuro's active time in the external world had lasted exactly 180 seconds!
