Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo first closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, a sage mark had appeared on his forehead, indicating that he had entered sage mode.

"Enter the arena."

'200 gold coins have been deducted.'

Swish.

Light and shadow flow, galaxies rise and fall, the universe is vast.

Seven-colored light forms an invisible pathway.

The desolate and empty arena welcomes new challengers.

"Mundo can go wherever he wants!"

"I am a good doctor."

"Young man, I see your days are numbered."

As soon as Yakumo opened his eyes, a huge butcher's knife, about two meters long, came crashing down from the sky. The knife was about twenty centimeters wide and had a tremendous force... even carrying some bits of flesh on its serrated blade.

"Zaun Madman Mundo".

thump.

The demon rose up, attempting to defend itself.

Yakumo was sent flying by the immense force, and he was utterly crushed in terms of strength.

As he drew his Kusanagi sword, Yakumo stepped back a few paces to observe his enemy, who was clearly none other than Mundo, a champion from the game League of Legends.

Mundo is about three meters tall, with well-defined muscles all over his body, especially his two arms, which are as thick as cow's calves. His white doctor's coat is tattered and stained with various colors.

Beneath the skin, thick blue veins resembled gnarled tree roots, and on the shoulder were two purple crystals, inside which faintly flowed purple liquid and a few weak arcs of electricity.

His eyebrows were quite thick, but his eyes lacked wisdom; instead, a wild and imposing aura emanated from them.

Yakumo frowned. Based on his understanding of the game system, he knew that the Mundo in front of him was definitely stronger than the game's description.

It may even possess some degree of immortality.

The Demon-Slaying Sword and the Kusanagi Sword slid into the sword case.

"Refined by Holy Light".

As the sunlight fell to earth, Yakumo gripped his twin swords once more, filled with fighting spirit.

Golden arcs of electricity enveloped his body, and bright white solar flames burned on his twin blades. With a burst of speed, Yakumo arrived in front of Mundo in an instant, bypassing the two-meter-long cleaver.

"Fleeting Light".

The blades cross, making a perfect cross!

With a burst of strength from his arms, Yakumo's blade began to melt through the skin, and before it could advance any further, the two-meter-long butcher's knife slammed down on him.

This strike was powerful and heavy.

Mundo seemed completely unaffected.

"Mundo's pain level is always zero."

A whooshing sound came from the air.

Yakumo used her legs to quickly dodge Dr. Mundo's knife, while simultaneously creating distance to observe the wound on Mundo's chest. The Sunfire burned on the wound, yet it was healing rapidly, as if the flames did not exist.

"This incredible regenerative ability."

Yakumo put the Kusanagi sword back into its sheath and gripped the hilt of the Fuma sword with both hands. Through the previous test, he discovered that Mundo's skin was incredibly tough, and the hardness of the muscles beneath it far exceeded that of steel. Only by concentrating all his strength on one point could he possibly break through the defenses of the skin and muscles.

The good news is that sword masters have no shortage of offensive methods.

The second piece of good news is that Mundo doesn't seem to have a high IQ.

Yakumo smiled. On the edge of the Demon-Subduing Blade, golden and white flames burned together, the air was slightly distorted, the electric arcs flowing between the muscles became more brilliant, and began to move towards the bones and blood vessels. The heart in the chest cavity roared, pumping hot blood and golden electric arcs into the whole body.

This is Yakumo at his peak.

“Wei Kingdom”.

Yakumo burst through the floor beneath her feet and charged toward Mundo, leaving a trail of afterimages behind her. In an instant, golden flowers bloomed in the arena, flowers composed of Yakumo's afterimages, growing more and more intense like fireworks bursting forth.

Mundo scratched his head sheepishly, somewhat bewildered as to how his enemies had suddenly multiplied from one to more than twenty.

But then the blade sliced ​​through the air and countless golden blade energies roared down, and countless shadows swung their blades countless times.

Blood splattered all over Mundo's body, but he just wildly swung his butcher's knife without any strategy. Yakumo calmly dodged the attacks. Countless golden shadows exploded in an instant, turning into golden arcs of electricity that jumped and flowed across the surface of the arena, and golden pillars of light rose from the sky.

Under the cover of golden light.

Yakumo held his swords in both hands, his eyes burning with unwavering fighting spirit. The blade of the Demon-Subduing Sword trembled slightly, radiating a power as strong as the sun, dazzling and captivating.

At this moment, Yakumo's sword strikes were as powerful as a dragon!

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

In the arena, Yakumo swung his Demon-Slaying Blade at Mundo's shoulder. The extremely fast blade easily sliced ​​through the skin, muscles, and pale purple bone, creating sparks that flew several meters high.

Blades roar, the sun's fire burns!

A massive golden pillar of fire rose out of thin air; it was the energy released from the collision of the two that ignited the air, and the rolling heat waves, along with the flames, spread rapidly in all directions.

With a snap, Yakumo withdrew and retreated.

A nick suddenly appeared on the blade of the Demon-Subduing Blade.

With a thud, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground, the smoke slowly dissipated. Mundo's right arm, which was holding the flesh-and-blood cleaver, had been completely severed by Yakumo, leaving a huge gash on his shoulder from which purple blood gushed out.

"There's hope."

Yakumo adjusted his breathing and charged at Mundo again, but the afterimages behind him were not as dense as they had been a few minutes ago.

After the intense outburst, he entered a period of fatigue, but due to his strong physique, his energy and physical condition were rapidly recovering.

It should only take about three minutes to fully recover.

Mondo bent down, picked up his right arm, and pressed it against the wound on his shoulder.

At the same time, he took out a huge purple reagent with his left hand and poured it directly into his mouth. The lustrous purple color seeped into his eyes, and a surging aura erupted instantly.

Blue arcs of electricity surged outward from Mundo's body, forming a field with a diameter of about thirty meters. At the center of the field, Mundo was covered in blue arcs of electricity and moved his right arm, which had just been healed.

"I was so stupid, so very stupid..."

"If I had known this would happen... I should have just beheaded him."

Yakumo muttered dejectedly, and from afar, his face, covered in purple skin, seemed to flash with a hint of mockery.

“I often wonder what gives me the right to play God.”

"Later I finally understood."

"Because I am—Mundo!!!"

The second round is about to begin.

Yakumo leaped into the blue ocean of lightning, the golden arcs enveloping his body clashing with the blue arcs, and the two began a fierce battle. As Yakumo advanced toward Mundo, a dazzling golden path appeared in the blue ocean.

“Wei Kingdom”.

Ding…

Sparks flew everywhere, and Mundo gradually caught up with Yakumo's speed. However, Yakumo quickly analyzed the real problem: Mundo's speed did increase due to the blue electric arcs, but the improvement was quite limited. The most important reason was that Yakumo himself had slowed down.

"Mundo, go wherever you want."

The two fought fiercely in the blue ocean, the virus-infected blade constantly clashing with the demon-subduing weapon. A few minutes later... Yakumo's strength recovered.

In the blink of an eye, countless afterimages appeared behind him, like a myriad of flowers in full bloom.

A flash of golden light appeared, and the blade roared.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

Yakumo seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air, his blade aimed directly at Mundo's neck.

At the critical moment, Mundo suddenly raised his sword to block Yakumo's strike, and the slender blade of Fuma made a crisp sound as it could not bear the weight.

The extremely fast slash met with an unreasonable force.

Yakumo's arms were constantly bursting with power, but he could hardly move forward even half a step. Mundo's right arm muscles bulged, constantly bursting with tremendous force, and several blue veins appeared on his purple neck.

The giant butcher's knife in Mundo's hand was made of some unknown metal, and its broad spine gave it unparalleled hardness.

The sharp, serrated edge increases the damage inflicted upon impact, tearing through defenses like a blunt knife or saw blade and crushing flesh.

"drink."

Yakumo continued to exert force with both arms, thrusting the blade forward relentlessly, determined to unleash the full power of this ultimate slash.

The arrow is on the bowstring, the sword is already sheathed.

How can we give up halfway?

Chapter 223 Memorial Ceremony, Annual Mission

A desolate and boundless arena.

The battle has reached a critical moment.

Yakumo's arms turned red as he worked hard, and the blade of the Demon-Subduing Sword gradually pierced into the giant butcher's knife, continuing its advance towards Mundo's neck.

"Hoo ho ho."

Mundo gripped the Virus Slayer Knife in his left arm and exerted a sudden burst of force, causing the massive blade to spin and bite down on the Demon-Subduing Blade like a crocodile.

A sickening cracking sound came from behind.

Click.

The Demon-Subduing Blade broke, and Yakumo instantly retreated ten meters.

Mundo charged forward like a chariot, his enormous fists coming into view like roaring warhammers, crashing down towards Yakumo's head.

This punch was quite powerful, seemingly carrying the force of splitting a mountain.
