Naraku was a truly troublesome opponent.
Most importantly, his vitality was extraordinarily tenacious. He could rapidly recover from all manner of injuries.
Moreover, unlike Shimura Danzo, who relied on intense emotions to draw out the power of the Four Souls Jewel fragments, Naraku himself possessed formidable vitality from the start.
Now, this monster had obtained two more Four Souls Jewel fragments, and the intense emotional reaction stirred by seeing Kikyo had also triggered the power of those fragments.
Thus, Fujimaru Tachibana and the others found themselves facing a monster that could not be killed no matter how many times it was struck, one that could constantly summon demons and transform animals and plants into monstrous creatures.
Furthermore, as time passed, Naraku began creating things from nothing.
No, it could not quite be called creating things from nothing. The shattered remains of his body also turned into grotesque insects, twisted tentacles, and other monstrous creatures. At times, they could even transform into powerful demons.
All sorts of abilities related to "creation" were displayed to their fullest extent.
This was extremely awkward, because their side had no means of countering such troublesome tactics.
In fact, if Kikyo had been at her peak, she would have been capable of destroying Naraku.
However, Kikyo's current condition made it impossible for her to wield her true power. The Four Souls Jewel fragment within her continued to entangle her, allowing her to recover some strength but preventing her from displaying her real capabilities.
This was very bad.
Faced with this situation, Kikyo silently observed while coordinating with Fujimaru Tachibana and the others to attack Naraku several more times.
However, the final results were far from satisfactory.
At that moment, the view also shifted to various parts of the Land of Iron's capital, showing everyone fighting desperately.
