The Well's Unknown Abyss (
Description
Creating the shadows of both Nue and the Toad in subsequence allows Megumi to create a temporary fusion of both in the form of winged toads to aid him in battle.[2] These toads can fly with increased mobility, as well as use their tongues to restrain opponents[3] or catch projectile attacks.[4] Unlike their parent shikigami, these toads are relatively weaker yet can be destroyed without consequence, and can be summoned so long as Nue and the Toad are alive.[1]
Usage
Megumi first used this technique to fight against Aoi Todo.[5] Later, he used this technique against Noritoshi Kamo by positioning winged toads around himself to catch manipulated arrows targeted to himself.[4]
Trivia
The name of this technique is derived from a Chinese idiom used to describe naïve mindsets, which itself is derived from a folktale titled “The Frog in the Well” by Zhuang Zhou. This story follows a frog who lives in a well who discusses with a sea turtle why his abode is better than the sea where the turtle is from despite having never seen the sea.
