Chapter 184: The Eighty-Million-Substitute Arrow
Damn.
Muzake and Orochimaru were both shocked by the monster's frenzy.
The tornado was filled with various debris and wreckage.
At high speeds, it was like a meat grinder.
Muzak had to use his magnetic field to enter.
But this thing was tearing it apart barehanded.
Where did such a fierce person come from?
At this moment,
Muzake and Orochimaru got a more precise look at the monster.
The monster was divided into two major parts.
The upper part was a muscular, mountain-like figure, pitch black and terrifyingly ferocious.
From the waist down, the lower part was a purplish-blue body resembling a dragon or a snake.
The lower part was immensely thick,
Making the upper part look childlike.
What kind of creature is this?
Orochimaru noticed something.
"This seems to be Jugo?"
"Why is his lower body an energy form?"
Both of them saw that the lower part was an energy body.
The tornado shredded the muscular man, causing pitch-black blood to spray.
He roared.
The dragon tail part of his lower body quickly emitted purplish-blue energy to repair his body.
Could the Dragon Vein and Jugo merge?
Muzak didn't have time to ponder this.
He needed to save people.
"Orochimaru, it's up to you."
"Block him for me."
Orochimaru could only comply.
To deal with such a giant,
Naturally, he had to summon Manda.
Orochimaru clasped his hands together.
A summoning seal appeared on the ground.
With a puff,
Manda was summoned.
The considerable snake head lifted Orochimaru.
Manda immediately saw the giant flailing its arms in front of him.
"Orochimaru, if you want me to act, I demand a hundred human sacrifices."
Manda was not an ordinary summon.
It would only work for a fee.
Besides the fixed payment, there was an additional charge.
"What did you say?"
"Sacrifices?"
Muzak was already stressed.
Hearing Manda's demand, he sternly questioned.
Manda was furious. How dare anyone talk back to me, Manda the Great.
Its snake eyes shifted.
It looked down.
Hiss.
Hiss.
Its tongue flicked out.
It turned out to be the fierce man who almost sliced its waist before.
Manda.
\(◎o◎)/!
"Sacri..."
"I..."
"I'm just a humble performer."
Muzake snorted.
"Do your job well."
"If you can't hold him off, don't blame me for dealing with you."
Manda lunged at the giant.
The two massive creatures began to fight.
Muzak had gathered enough metal.
He held up a metal sphere.
Looking at the almost-dead Kabuto and Kimimaro,
The usual Dragon Ball healing pods wouldn't work in time.
So, he had to take a risk.
Whether they survived depended on their luck.
He had spent eighty million on a ninja tool blueprint.
Muzake infused chakra into the five-meter metal sphere.
He was clapping his hands together.
Non-Scientific Ninja Tool Alchemy.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt.
Blue and white electrical lights rapidly traveled across the metal sphere.
The sphere shrank.
The electric light grew brighter.
Finally, a blinding flash of light.
Muzake held a ninja tool in his hand.
It was a small metal arrowhead.
The arrowhead was inlaid with golden patterns.
The Arrow of Substitution.
Three uses.
Potential Activation: "Stands" can be triggered by being struck by an ordinary arrow. Those hit by the arrow are likely to die from the virus. Those who survive will manifest a "Stand."
You can't even generate chakra now.
So, I'll use the Arrow of Substitution to activate your life force.
If you successfully manifest a Stand,
You will survive.
If not, you'll die.
Then, we'll have to go the cloning route.
"I hope you live on your own."
"So, survive."
Muzake flicked his fingers.
The Arrow of Substitution pierced Kabuto, then flew to pierce Kimimaro.
Afterwards,
Muzake stored the Arrow of Substitution, but now, there is only one use left.
Behind him,
Orochimaru, Manda, and the giant continued their fierce battle.
The fight was intense.
Even the tornado was shattered.
The giant's punch came down.
The purplish-blue energy shot out like a cannonball.
Orochimaru dared not be careless.
"Triple Rashomon."
Clang, clang clang.
Three Rashomon gates blocked the energy.
Then,
Bang, bang bang.
The energy pierced through the three Rashomon gates.
Even after penetrating, there was still residual energy.
Manda was too large to dodge.
It had to take the hit.
The energy struck its body.
It hissed and flicked its tongue.
It hurt terribly.
The energy, besides the impact, had a corrosive effect.
The dark, twisted energy made Manda extremely uncomfortable.
It struggled to neutralize the energy.
"Orochimaru, what kind of monster is this!"
"It's so troublesome."
"It won't die no matter what."
The giant acted like a beast.
It had no combat experience.
It was purely a brute-force fight with energy blasts.
Orochimaru and Manda had broken their hands several times.
The problem was,
The purplish-blue energy from its lower body quickly repaired it.
The giant could fight again.
And it grew more ferocious.
Facing such an undying, pain-inducing opponent,
Manda was getting a headache.
Should I run?!
Orochimaru chuckled.
"Careful, Lord Kazekage will visit Ryuchi Cave for you."
Manda cursed.
"Is there any way to kill this monster!"
Orochimaru's snake eyes gleamed coldly.
"There is."
