Dagon's body contained a vast alternate-dimensional space far larger than his physical size. Ordinarily, he could use it to feed, swallowing large numbers of humans at once, but it could also produce the scene unfolding before them.
Cursed spirits of all shapes and sizes fell from the sky. Some broke their legs on impact, while others were crushed to death by the cursed spirits falling after them.
But none of that mattered!
There were so many of them that these minor losses meant nothing.
"What are you standing around for? Hit them hard! Kill every last one of them!"
Ao roared, immediately snapping everyone back to their senses.
The Kirigakure ninja jolted awake as though from a dream. They hurled a barrage of ninjutsu at the enemy, immediately inflicting massive casualties.
But these cursed spirits had no fear of death whatsoever. The enormous ones blocked the front, absorbing damage, while the fast ones charged straight at Kirigakure's lines. Those with ranged attacks immediately began fighting back.
The cursed spirits capable of flight, in particular, caused considerable chaos as soon as they joined the battle.
Casualties soon began mounting on Kirigakure's side.
Mei Terumi frowned and rapidly formed hand seals, but her target was not these ordinary cursed spirits. It was the somewhat unusual-looking red, octopus-headed cursed spirit atop the wall!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
An enormous water dragon opened its jaws and shot forth with a roar, about to slam into Dagon.
By then, several hundred cursed spirits were already on the battlefield. Dagon suddenly stopped moving, as though the entire army of cursed spirits inside him had been transferred outside.
Then, faced with the surging water dragon that had already reached him, he did something that stunned everyone present!
Dagon suddenly opened his mouth and sucked hard.
