Kana Shizumi held a blood-red sphere more than half a meter across, his expression somewhat savage.
A reloadable Spiral cannon!
In a sense, he was following in his father's footsteps—
Of course, this was also Kana Shizumi's own invention, drawing on the strengths of many different techniques.
His initial inspiration had mainly come from his earlier domain battle with Sukuna.
To free his hands to form a seal, he had dragged over the Co-Born Garuda, which was also struggling nearby, to serve as a disposable meat shield, taking the opportunity to deactivate Falling Blossom Emotion.
That strategy had proved eminently workable, with results that could only be called gratifying—the Co-Born Garuda had fulfilled its mission, and Kana Shizumi had successfully expanded his domain.
After that, things had started to snowball.
As everyone knew—shikigami existed to help jujutsu sorcerers fight.
So what was the Co-Born Garuda's main use now?
It had previously served as a temporary fighter, certainly, but as his strength increased, its usefulness had gradually diminished. After all, the opponents he would face in the future would grow stronger too. A bare-bones fighter whose offense and defense merely sat at the lower end of Special Grade really was...
Rather unfit for the big leagues.

Besides, the Co-Born Garuda possessed no special talents of its own. If
