[Ten Shadows Technique]

It was a Cursed Technique renowned throughout the Jujutsu World.

But looking across the Jujutsu World, for all its prestige, it did not seem to be a top-tier technique.

Not compared to [Limitless], which embodied the concept of "Infinity," or the devastating [Malevolent Shrine].

By comparison, this technique seemed unremarkable.

Not to mention that Jujutsu Sorcerers' Cursed Techniques changed with the times, giving rise to new ones.

We've discussed [Innate Techniques] before. They were the techniques Jujutsu Sorcerers were born with.

Yet as the times advanced, even inborn abilities seemed to change depending on the era.

Whether a Jujutsu Sorcerer inherited a great clan's legacy or awakened a technique by chance or atavism, their Innate Technique was influenced by the times.

The [Ten Shadows Technique] was already overshadowed by a supreme ability like [Limitless]. With new-era techniques challenging it too...

Its standing as a "top-tier technique" seemed increasingly precarious.

Some techniques granted their users immense Cursed Energy through a lottery of pure luck.

Others bestowed Domain Expansion on their users the moment they awakened...

Compared with these new-era techniques, what did Ten Shadows offer?

Nine animal friends to summon?

Even setting aside the risk of the Shikigami being destroyed, they hardly seemed impressive.

As for [Fusion], an unconventional way of using the technique, the Cursed Energy it required was beyond what an ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerer could afford.

And yet, Ten Shadows had retained its place among the "top-tier techniques."

All because of its tenth Shikigami.

Across the recorded history of the Jujutsu World, that mysterious Shikigami had appeared only four times.

"This is my tenth Shikigami. Of course, I'm not confident I can subdue it alone yet. I might never get the chance in this lifetime."

Whoosh—
