They followed his gaze.
Just in time to see Mahoraga cut the distant archer in half at the waist!
The [Slash] he unleashed also sliced clean through a nearby building.
It crashed to the ground with a thunderous boom.
When Kaneki blocked an [Eight-Headed Arrow] for Hakari, he had figured out how the archer's ability worked.
It would only stop once it hit its target.
Unfortunately...
That trick would only work once. Otherwise, Kaneki would not have been in such a hurry to kill him.
In a single exchange.
The group of seven had lost two members.
Only five remained.
Excluding the three inside the domain, only two sorcerers remained on the battlefield.
Now.
It was 2v2v2.
The Jujutsu High group watching through the crows had never expected Kaneki to pull off something so brilliant!
Two kills with one ploy.
With the caster dead.
The stone wall created through [Alchemy] crumbled into a heap of scrap.
Apparently recognizing the immense threat Ken Kaneki posed.
Apart from Nishimura, whom Samurai had deliberately excluded, the other three acted before Mahoraga returned.
And...
Before Kaneki could make another move, they all deployed their domains in unison.
"Domain Expansion!"
Seeing this.
Kaneki, who had just switched to [Boogie Woogie], stopped his hands before they could clap together.
In the original story.
Angel had never used [Hollow Wicker Basket] or [Simple Domain].
Judging by the plot, she most likely did not know how.
She.
Was a one-trick specialist.
She relied solely on her Cursed Technique, which could nullify other Cursed Techniques.
It did not matter if she died inside a domain, but considering the destructive power of Samurai's Cursed Technique.
Kaneki worried that her corpse might not remain intact.
Then he would be screwed.
That was also why he had not used [Boogie Woogie].
Before the three domains closed completely, Kaneki formed a hand seal and activated [Hollow Wicker Basket].
At the same time.
He gave Mahoraga an order.
-Destroy the domains' outer shells!
Chapter 179 had explicitly stated that the clash between three domains, along with their differing internal and external conditions during barrier construction.
Made the domains unstable.
As long as Mahoraga attacked from outside, these already unstable domains were bound to collapse!
Seeing that Kaneki had not expanded his own domain.
And had instead chosen to counter with [Hollow Wicker Basket].
Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro, despite lacking information on him, both guessed that he probably could not deploy a domain.
In this world.
No sorcerer would face a domain without expanding their own.
"You..."
Samurai, having restored his true form, swung a blade vibrating at an extremely high frequency at Kaneki. "You really can't expand a domain."
At that moment!
Kaneki fully understood the advantage of having four hands.
Even though he dodged.
The ultrahigh-frequency vibrations carried by the blade still damaged his [Hollow Wicker Basket], opening a gap.
Kaneki's pupils contracted.
He quickly understood.
[Hollow Wicker Basket] would last for even less time inside three domains.
That was also why Samurai had been able to break it with a single slash.
The instant the sure-hit attack struck him!
Kaneki seamlessly followed up with "New Shadow Style: Simple Domain!"
A ring of light resembling moonlight appeared beneath his feet.
At the same time.
Takako Uro unleashed [Thin Ice Breaker] at Ken Kaneki and Samurai!
Within 0.1 seconds of her attack.
Ryu Ishigori fired three [Granita Blasts], targeting Takako Uro, [Thin Ice Breaker], and Samurai respectively.
"This is my dessert!"
As his words fell.
Ryu Ishigori saw Takako Uro use [Plane] to deflect his [Granita Blast] back at him.
Crack!
The sound of shattering domains rang out.
They saw the Sword of Extermination pierce through from outside.
Along with...
Angel's signature [Jacob's Ladder], capable of extinguishing every Cursed Technique!
Seeing this.
Kaneki smiled.
The seeds he had planted earlier had finally taken root and sprouted.
On the battlefield.
Everyone except Takako Uro had sustained injuries to varying degrees.
Among them.
Kaneki was the most severely wounded.
His Reverse Cursed Technique was operating at its limit, constantly healing his injuries.
The towering Mahoraga stood beside him like a bodyguard.
"Slower than I expected..."
Kaneki raised his bloodied face and looked at Nishimura and the old man, who were also injured.
Just as he had suspected...
Those two had delayed Mahoraga for a moment.
Now.
Except for Ryu Ishigori, whose unique Cursed Technique left him unaffected by cursed technique burnout.
The other two had both entered cursed technique burnout.
Kaneki did not press his advantage.
Instead, as soon as his injuries improved slightly, he switched to [Boogie Woogie], attempting to swap Angel over to him.
After all.
The [Prison Realm] was in his shadow.
Once he obtained Angel's Cursed Technique, he could immediately free Satoru Gojo.
Once Satoru Gojo was unsealed.
Whether Kenjaku was in the Culling Game or at the Tombs of the Star Corridor, Satoru Gojo would go after him.
For them.
There was nothing but benefit!
The moment he switched Cursed Techniques, a cool voice sounded beside him. "Were you the one who used [Malevolent Shrine]?"
Kaneki's pupils trembled.
Was this...
Uro?!
A familiar figure appeared in Kaneki's sight. It was Uro, drawn here by the slash Mahoraga had unleashed.
At that moment.
She was still using Tsumiki Fushiguro's body and had not restored her true form.
"Tsumiki?"
Megumi Fushiguro was stunned to see Tsumiki Fushiguro through the crow.
Note: Megumi rarely called her his sister.
Hearing him.
The others finally remembered that they had yet to tell him Tsumiki Fushiguro was also a Player.
Nanami and the others explained everything to him.
Only Mai Zenin kept her eyes fixed on the screen, studying how an ancient Construction sorcerer used her Cursed Technique.
Sendai Colony.
"It's you?!"
Uro recognized Ken Kaneki. "The guy Kenjaku said could see the future."
Looking at him.
Uro quickly realized who had unleashed [Malevolent Shrine]!
Then.
That sweet, gentle face twisted with rage as she screamed hysterically, "You..."
"What did you do to my husband?!"
Of course, she did not believe Ken Kaneki could kill Sukuna.
But.
Ken Kaneki had obtained Sukuna's Cursed Technique, which meant he must have done something unspeakable to him.
Whatever it was.
She could never forgive him!
As she roared, she constructed a pair of wings from liquid metal, turned them into two sharp spears, and thrust them at Ken Kaneki and Mahoraga.
At first glance.
They resembled two bikaku tails.
Kaneki dodged aside.
Mahoraga did not retreat into the shadows either.
Instead, under Kaneki's orders, he prepared to adapt to Uro's [Construction] Cursed Technique.
That way.
He could counter Uro's domain.
-Threefold Suffering.
"You bitch!"
Unaffected by cursed technique burnout, Ryu Ishigori fired a [Granita Blast] at Uro. "Stay out of the way!"
Faced with [Granita Blast].
Uro instantly constructed a shield of liquid metal in front of herself.
Under the barrage of [Granita Blast], Uro's shield gradually disintegrated.
Uro was unharmed.
She had already activated [Insect Armor] and moved out of [Granita Blast]'s range.
[Insect Armor].
Was a move she had developed based on insects such as butterflies and bees.
It allowed her to hold her own against sorcerers of the same level.
Crack!
After taking a hit, Mahoraga also began adapting to the [Construction] Cursed Technique.
Having partially adapted, he severed the spear with a single slash.
He pulled the liquid metal out of his body.
As his flesh rapidly regenerated, he gave Uro a ferocious grin.
However.
Uro paid him no attention at all.
