Konoha's Mission Master

Following the game's instructions, after spending more gold coins to upgrade... the appearance of the Beloved Pact will also be improved and changed.

Ultimately, they grew from ordinary to dazzling.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough gold coins to upgrade the ring right now.

Yakumo is now fifteen years old, and there are still three years until he comes of age and gets married. In these three years, he is confident that he can elevate the Pact of Love to the highest level.

Yakumo was lying in bed, about to go to sleep.

Suddenly, gray gas appeared in the void, quickly gathering to form a blood-soaked, large-headed doll with teeth like sharp blades in its gaping maw.

With a snap, it bit into Yakumo's body.

Two months later, Yakumo had confirmed that after spending gold coins to exempt himself from the cost, the Big Head Doll could not cause him any harm at all.

They simply ignored it and closed their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, I drifted off to sleep.

At this time, in the land of fields.

The dimly lit passageway leads to an underground laboratory.

Within a space of several hundred square meters, there are all kinds of sophisticated instruments, as well as specimens of the bodies of various bloodline families.

In the corner, experimental subjects floated in several huge petri dishes.

This is Orochimaru's secret base.

However, Orochimaru's current condition is not very good.

His face was sickly pale, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. He looked as if he hadn't slept in a long time.

Orochimaru stared blankly into the void.

Suddenly... a blood-red giant-headed doll appeared, its teeth still bearing traces of blood.

"Here it comes again, here it comes again!!"

Orochimaru, who had been like a puppet, immediately changed, tilting his head back and letting out a miserable scream, then leaping to his feet without any regard for his image.

His pupils contracted slightly, a sign of lingering fear. White scales grew and spread from beneath his skin, tightly linked together to form a hard shield.

Orochimaru immediately began to dodge.

"Click."

He was like a spring that had been wound up and drained of its power, collapsing back to the ground, his eyes filled with nothing but despair.

Orochimaru's spiritual energy was once again partially consumed.

Although this part only needs about a day to recover, this attack, which is impossible to defend against by any means, has left him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Could it be that the legendary monsters actually exist?"

Orochimaru was extremely distraught.

The blood-red doll that appears every night cannot be explained by any scientific basis; its existence is a paradox for science.

The chakra system can be more or less connected to science.

For example, the connection between Hashirama Senju's cells and Madara Uchiha's cells, and even the reverse investigation of the Otsutsuki bloodline, are progressing steadily.

Orochimaru was confident that he would reach the pinnacle of the chakra system.

But that blood-red doll was completely different.

Its existence cannot be observed from a scientific perspective, nor can it be seen by others.

It cannot be avoided, reduced, or isolated.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Orochimaru murmured softly, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes, despite his self-proclaimed unparalleled genius.

That long-established worldview is being destroyed little by little.

…………

A few days later, Yakumo was ready.

After all, a speedrun dungeon can be completed in just ten minutes.

Of course, failure is still possible.

Yakumo was found in the dungeon interface.

[Series: Dragon Lord]

"Kill Herzog, the White King, swiftly!"

"Enter the instance."

The world's movement stopped at that moment, and Yakumo's body transformed into a blue point of light and disappeared into the bedroom.

Inside the Red Well.

Herzog weaves a blood cocoon from white spider silk, with tides of energy constantly surging, each burst creating an even greater peak.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, swirling under the influence of the storm, like the giant eye of a demon looking down upon the world. This was a sign of the Dragon King's awakening, a sign that he was preparing to safely pass through the initial period of weakness.

Instinctively, the Dragon King manipulates wind and rain to form an altar, serving as the perfect defensive barrier when it awakens from its cocoon state.

But at this moment, many Taoist figures appeared in the red well.

As Yakumo stared at the blood-red cocoon, her eyes gradually ignited with rage, and the withered girl unconsciously uttered a soft, painful murmur.

Herzog's eyes were golden, as if they were flowing with lava.

An unseen force held Yakumo in place, preventing him from launching any attacks until the enemy emerged from his cocoon—a limitation of the game.

Cutscene before the BOSS arrives.

This fueled Yakumo's boundless rage.

Although Yakumo cannot attack, he can make some preliminary preparations, such as injecting the five tubes of burning blood into his body, or injecting gradually increasing cells.

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Mark appeared.

Within his body, at the cost of igniting his blood, a massive amount of chakra surged forth, forming burning golden flames on his body's surface.

"Berserk Blood!"

Its body was filled with power, and an aura of destruction emanated from it.

"Refined by Holy Light!"

The sun's rays dispersed the dark clouds, and endless light and heat descended from the sky, eventually spreading into a beam of light only about one meter long, which landed on the surface of the Glory Sword Box.

Yakumo seemed to be carrying the blazing sun on his back.

Demon-slaying sword, Kusanagi sword, drawn!

The sharp claws tore open the cocoon, and the white wing membrane suddenly opened, revealing pale, sharp, and menacing bone spurs at the tips of the wings. The white scales reflected light, illuminating the dark well.

The gale arose naturally, and the tides of elements converged rapidly.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Sea of ​​Black Thorns!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release - Descent of the Flower Tree World!"

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

At the moment the battle began.

Yakumo unleashed a series of powerful attacks with abundant chakra, causing countless crimson tree roots to spread out and form a cage, while even more roots extended into towering trees.

On the branches of that tree, the leaves were also a deep red, like jade.

Near the ground, countless crimson vines surged toward Herzog, and before it could even flap its wings to proclaim its kingly arrival, it was met with a dense barrage of attacks.

As for the strongest weapon, the tailbone of the Yamata no Orochi, Ame no Habakiri was buried underground by Yakumo with tree roots.

Yakumo charged toward Herzog, wielding his twin swords.

Who are you? Who are you?

Herzog let out a long howl, his ferocious snake face filled with disbelief.

He had just ascended to the throne and had not yet had time to familiarize himself with the power within him when he was attacked fatally.

While questioning Yakumo, he had already analyzed the best battleground in his mind.

"We must leave the ground; the air is the perfect battlefield!"

But he suddenly realized that the surrounding area was blocked by giant trees and roots, and there was no way to go up.

Most importantly, these tree roots actually severed part of his connection with the elements.

Originally, his breathing could draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

But now the power of heaven and earth has also been mobilized by the enemy, and a portion of it has been taken away... It's like the king who reigns over the world has had his power stolen.

Along with anger, there was also fear.

After all… only the equally noble first generation could do such a thing, and the enemy might even be that supreme being!

In fact, the tides of the elements of heaven and earth are referred to as the power of nature in the ninja world. Master-level Sage Mode requires a large amount of natural power to maintain.

Furthermore, Yakumo's enlightenment was a powerful and domineering absorption, which enabled him to contend with Herzog, who possessed the power of the White King, in terms of elements.

"Wei Kingdom!"

"Jun Yan!"

Faced with the attack, Herzog quickly made a judgment.

Although his bloodline records indicate that he can use a vast number of incantations, when faced with an enemy's attack, he instinctively uses incantations he has personally witnessed to launch his own attacks.

Even if you're just copying a cat, you still need to see it with your own eyes.

The black flames were incredibly condensed, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, like a dark torrent washing over everything.

The surrounding vines, after being submerged in the sea of ​​fire, were not immediately ignited, but continued to surge wildly toward Herzog.

But the white-clad king was not worried...
