• Radeus explained that he had used a binding vow to weaken slashes outside the shrine’s inner range in exchange for strengthening all five types within it.

• Radeus and Orsted stepped into close range and exchanged rapid punches, with one minute remaining of Orsted’s four minutes and eleven seconds.

Radeus evolved during Orsted’s assault, combining Limitless with time manipulation so Orsted could no longer touch him. As the Dharma Wheels continued turning, Radeus’s body transformed, his hair turned white, and he declared himself beyond Orsted’s power.

Radeus and Rudeus fought Orsted with swaps, shadow attacks, and Black Flash, but Orsted defeated Mahoraga and knocked Rudeus unconscious. Blaming himself for their defeats, Radeus expanded his domain, Shadow Royal Court, to face Orsted alone.

• Radeus blamed his selfish desire to defeat Orsted for the others' defeats, then activated Domain Expansion-[Shadow Royal Court].

Radeus trapped Orsted inside his Shadow Royal Court, where endless Shikigami emerged and drained stamina and mana, though the domain’s effects barely affected Orsted in his Godblade state. The chapter ended with countless Mahoraga surrounding Orsted, each with turning Dharma Wheels.

• Radeus formed his Shadow Royal Court around himself and Orsted, but Orsted could still perceive everything inside it.

Radeus trapped Orsted in his domain, where rising shadows and endless Mahoragas threatened to overwhelm him. After Orsted’s attacks destroyed several apparent Radeuses, Radeus revealed that he could become any shadow, leaving Orsted unable to identify or reach his true body.

• Radeus told Orsted that shadows in his domain would engulf him and turn him into a Shikigami, and that revealing his Cursed Technique shortened the countdown.
