Konoha's Mission Master

At that moment, the dense rain in the world became heavy, like stones hitting Yakumo's body, and golden phantoms appeared in the air.

These phantoms wore straw hats that covered most of their bodies, making them look very thin, with only two eyes flashing with lightning showing. They shouted with a hint of fanaticism.

"Kneel down, kneel down, kneel down, kneel down."

"Kneel before my God!!"

"Those who defy the gods will surely be punished with the most severe punishment!"

Yakumo felt a surge of unease.

This is Odin's inherent mental attack; perhaps only when Odin summons his eight-legged steed can he be considered to have entered battle mode.

"Only magic can defeat magic."

The thick, lead-gray fog rolled and spread, like a gray monster opening its blood-red maw to tear at everything around it. An invisible suction force devoured the energy contained in the raindrops, causing the golden phantoms to sway and dim.

In the mist, an unknown evil spirit screamed.

The annoying shriek was no longer in Yakumo's ears.

At this moment, Odin was riding his eight-legged steed closer and closer to Yakumo, and the sound of thunderous hooves echoed through the void, like the drumbeats before the official start of war.

Odin tensed his body, gradually gathering his power in his right arm. His body was like a taut bow, and immense pressure descended upon Yakumo, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back.

"Sage Art: Wood Release - Blood Jade Ancient Tree Descends!"

The mark on Yakumo's right hand suddenly became incredibly hot, and a massive tree slowly rose from the ground. It was a tree that seemed to be stained with blood, filled with an ominous and evil aura.

As the great tree appeared, a strange fragrance filled the air. Odin's steed, Pegasus, suddenly stopped, its eyes turning bloodshot as it stared uneasily at the tree before it.

Its keen instincts alerted it to the danger before it, and it even temporarily broke free from Odin's control. Its two front legs trembled uncomfortably, and the eight-legged winged horse's loss of control successfully interrupted Odin's charged attack.

Odin squeezed the horse's belly with both legs and pulled the reins tight with his left arm. Under his control, the eight-legged steed temporarily suppressed its fear and gradually stepped into the space where the Blood Jade Ancient Tree was located.

Yakumo placed his right hand on the surface of the ancient tree, his body merging into the tree.

Thousands of blood-red vines, under his control, attacked Odin, like a shadow or a giant wave engulfing him.

This manipulation is smooth and effortless, and consumes very little energy. The Blood Jade Ancient Tree can absorb energy from the void to replenish Yakumo's energy consumption.

Gungnir exuded a gray-black aura, Odin swung his spear, cutting through the rolling vines, while the eight-legged Pegasus... also spewed lightning from its mouth to complement Odin's attack.

A golden domain spread out, suppressing everything around it.

Odin's muscles bulged as he brandished his spear, creating a gray-black storm that, combined with his golden domain, slaughtered the crimson vines, while his body gradually approached the Blood Jade Ancient Tree.

In particular, the lightning spewed out by the eight-legged celestial horse could even strengthen Odin's domain, increasing his speed.

But Odin found that the fragrance around him had become stronger, and even his divine body, which had been bathed in lightning, felt weak and powerless under the influence of this floral scent.

This battle must be won quickly!

Suddenly, an even larger and thicker vine shattered the gray-black storm defenses and struck Odin's chest like an arrow. The surrounding blue arcs of electricity were completely ineffective against the vine.

"puff…"

Odin was struck hard in the chest, and even his golden armor dented slightly. A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, creating a cloud of blood mist.

The eight-legged celestial horse let out a mournful cry, was knocked back dozens of meters, and after regaining its balance, the sky full of blood-red vines had already arrived under Yakumo's control.

These vines, derived from the Blood Jade Ancient Tree, possess extremely strong resilience and are characterized by rapid regeneration, extreme toxicity, dissolution, and absorption.

Of course, the most important thing is the Blood Jade Ancient Tree, which is equivalent to an immovable war fortress and can be manipulated by thought to extend several composite attack methods.

Yakumo's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he relentlessly tormented Odin.

Combat is the process of using one's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Odin possesses indescribable speed and attack power, but he is somewhat lacking in physical strength.

Yakumo then decided to wage a war of attrition!

Swish! ! !

The gray light slashed horizontally, severing countless vines, but before Odin could even rejoice, even more vines surged forth.

These vines, together with the sea of ​​trees, formed an incredibly strong defense, yet Odin's repeated raids failed to bring him close to the crimson ancient tree standing at its center.

At this moment, Odin was no longer a god, but rather appeared extremely disheveled, more like a treacherous minister who attempted to assassinate the king. Even if he burned his blood and courage to the extreme, he could not get even a step closer to the king.

Standing inside the crimson ancient tree, Yakumo directed the battle through his perception of the eternal slumber mist. According to his calculations, Odin would inevitably be defeated and lose his life within five hours.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

Odin's armor was torn, revealing his scarred upper body, and his right hand gripped the spear Gungnir tightly.

It was with this weapon, which carried the curse of death, that Odin was able to withstand Yakumo's relentless attacks for three hours straight.

At this point in the battle, Yakumo was completely unharmed.

Odin was slightly injured, while Pegasus was severely wounded.

Moreover… the domain shattered, the armor shattered, and the Golden Eagle Helmet shattered.

The ending was already predetermined.

Odin rode his eight-legged celestial horse to create some distance, away from the radiation range of the Crimson Tree Sea, and stroked the horse's back with a touch of affection.

Yakumo could see that the two had an excellent relationship. If it weren't for the eight-legged pegasus repeatedly using its body as a shield, Odin would be the one who was seriously injured now.

Under Yakumo's gaze, Odin leaped off his horse.

In Yakumo's view, Odin has made a certain decision, and what follows is a true battle to the death. Odin's current move may be to release the summons and choose to die alone.

But... to Yakumo's astonished gaze.

The next second, Odin manipulated the spear Gungnir to pierce the horse's body. The strong winged horse did not die instantly, but looked at Odin with some confusion.

The giant beast could have resisted, but in the end it did not struggle. It simply moved its head away, closed its eyes, and let crystal tears fall from the sky.

It has completely stopped breathing.

Yakumo immediately manipulated the crimson vines to envelop and devour the corpse of the eight-legged pegasus. He instinctively guessed that Odin's actions were for some means of enhancing his own power.

But he was a step too slow.

Odin took the crystal-clear blue crystal from the Pegasus.

With a snap, it was crushed.

The blue crystal dust entered Odin's body with each breath, and the effect of this dust was very obvious: the wounds on Odin's body healed rapidly, and his aura became even more powerful.

Now, Odin has once again become that god who dwells high in the clouds.

But he lost his horse.

As Odin breathed, wind and thunder moved naturally, swirling and circling around him, and a blue storm was born.

Odin silently looked at the Blood Jade Tree, or rather, at Yakumo inside the tree, his gaze becoming unusually calm.

The humiliation and anger subsided, transforming into absolute murderous intent.

At this moment, Odin became incredibly dangerous in Yakumo's perception.

In an instant, the blue storm changed direction, colliding with the vines and tree roots like a blender. Accompanied by a series of teeth-grinding sounds, blood-red wood chips flew everywhere, and the blue storm gradually disintegrated.

Odin moved within the blue storm, constantly approaching Yakumo within the Blood Jade Ancient Tree. His muscles began to swell, and in just a few breaths, Odin became a giant of about three meters.

But his once full head of silver hair began to turn gray, making him look like an old man in his twilight years.

With the infusion of divine power, a continuous heartbeat emanated from Gungnir in his right hand. This heartbeat gradually grew stronger, and cracks began to appear on the surface of the gun, with a gray-black aura spreading outward from the cracks.

Odin grew increasingly decayed, his muscles began to contract, and in just a few seconds he transformed from a three-meter-tall strong man into a thin old man less than 1.7 meters tall.

He awakened his bloodline with his life, and then sacrificed his bloodline to Gungnir.

This strike will be a true, fatal blow!

Chapter 271 Arena Level 6 Cleared (Part 2)

In the arena, the final battle has reached its climax.

Odin stood still amidst the blue storm, his body like a dried corpse that had been dehydrated for nearly a hundred years. Gungnir in his hand had been completely revived, trembling slightly as if it possessed life.

The distance between the two was nearly 100 meters.

Yakumo manipulated the vines to form the strongest defense in front of him, calmly watching Odin as he awaited the impending attack.

In fact, having fought to this extent, he no longer had any worries.

Even if we fail this time, we can start over.

Yakumo was also very confident that he could defeat Odin, and the sixth floor of the arena was no longer a challenge for him.

"Huff...huff...huff."

Yakumo took deep breaths, trying to adjust his state.

After approaching Yakumo by a hundred meters, Odin lifted Gungnir horizontally and, with Yakumo as a witness, inserted it into his own chest.

As he sacrificed himself, Gungnir fully awoke.

A monstrous heartbeat spread, and the wooden surface gradually withered away, transforming completely into a gray-black death energy that formed the shape of a spear.

Yakumo waved his hand to dispel the eternal slumber mist.

It was only at this moment that Yakumo belatedly realized that not only the eight-legged celestial horse, but even Odin himself was one of the sacrifices.

Even after this attack, Gungnir will be completely destroyed.

This attack was a gamble with everything Odin had.

The spear of death began to move, and Yakumo created shadow clones that scattered and fled. It was highly likely that the shadow clones would not be able to affect Gungnir's lock-on.

But he's going to give it a try... just in case...

If this weapon turns out to be not very clever, Yakumo will have made a profit.

The crimson vines intertwined, forming a blood-red net that blocked the spear's path. In Yakumo's gaze, the blood-red net was immediately pierced.

Next came blood-red tree roots, wooden dragons, walls, and so on…

Gungnir wasn't moving fast, and Yakumo was able to continuously build up defenses, but no matter what kind of defenses they were, they were all pierced by the gray-black spear shadow the moment they made contact.
