Konoha's Mission Master

A chilling atmosphere pervaded the air, and the blades were crimson.

"not enough."

"This level isn't enough..."

Yakumo mobilized all his energy.

Golden lightning and pale blue gale swirled around the blade.

It uses Wood Release as its core, Life Source Energy as its core, Golden Lightning as its edge, and a fierce storm as its aid.

On Yakumo's forehead, the Sage Mark was redder than ever before, like congealed blood. Within his body, the Sage Chakra gradually boiled, turning into a deep blue flame.

Under Yakumo's manipulation, multiple energies subtly coalesced into a unified whole.

The long sword in the Wood Release giant's hand exuded a power that distorted the void, with gold, blue, and cyan colors mixing and converging.

Driven by the storm, the crimson giant charged toward Nasus at incredible speed, leaving only a tangible crimson afterimage in place.

The deathly aura was at work, and flesh buds were growing on Nasus's bones as he rapidly repaired his battered body.

The ultimate holy war is about to begin.

The Wood Release giant rushed in front of Nasus, gripped his swords with both hands, and unleashed a powerful downward slash.

Nasus, standing about five meters in front of him, looked like a toddler practicing walking.

"Extreme Blade Slash".

The flames burning on the blade condensed and subsided, the weapon was transformed into pure blood color, and all the energy was compressed and aggregated.

This strike is enough to kill a god!

"withered."

Deathly aura clung to the surface of the Blade Wood Release giant, slightly slowing the flow of endless energy within its body.

After launching this counterattack, Nasus raised his long-handled battle axe above his head, pushing it with both hands in a blocking stance.

Ding!

As the two weapons clashed, a deafening roar erupted. The raised battle axe fell with incredible speed, slamming heavily into Nasus's chest. The surging violence caused fine cracks to appear on his pale bone armor, and Nasus coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The ground beneath their feet cracked like a spider web, then sank into a deep pit in the next second, and smoke dozens of meters high obscured them.

Nasus raised his battle axe as high as he could, but Yakumo's second strike had already descended with immense force.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

Nasus lost his composure, and his battle axe slammed into his chest again, breaking his knee under the strain and exposing his jade-like bones.

Kneel on one knee.

The proud god knelt and prostrated himself before the mortals, his eyes suddenly blazing with fierce fire, but he didn't even have time to get up.

The third blow had already arrived.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

The offensive was fierce and swift as the wind.

Yakumo's blood surged, and the explosive golden lightning broke through the withered limitations, restoring the speed of energy flow to its peak.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

In an instant, Yakumo channeled his energy and unleashed two consecutive slashes. Even ordinary people couldn't discern how many slashes Yakumo had launched in that brief period of time.

The giant, formed from the power of Wood Release, emitted a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight. Its roots gradually broke, and the giant was on the verge of disintegrating.

The two combined slashes, carrying immense force, sent the long-handled battle axe flying. A terrifying storm pressed Nasus to the ground, and the energy torrent from the attack washed over the remaining flesh and blood on Nasus's body.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed back into a monster made entirely of bones.

The proud god was completely unable to rise.

At this moment, Nasus became a lamb to the slaughter.

On the other hand, the Wood Release Giant was on the verge of collapse, its body covered with cracks and teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Congeal!"

With a soft shout, Yakumo channeled the remaining life energy within his body into the Wood Release Giant, abruptly halting its disintegration. However, the Wood Release Giant's height was inevitably reduced by about two meters.

Yakumo is enough.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

Nasus tilted his head back and gazed at the Wood Release giant, as if trying to memorize Yakumo's appearance.

He did not give up the fight. The deathly aura, like a black storm, converged on Nasus's pale body, and even the deathly aura that was usually hidden in the yellow sand was actively drawn away.

The yellow sand receded, the storm dissipated, and divine power coalesced into black Nether Armor.

Nasus tilted his head back and let out a long roar.

"Wow wow wow!"

This is not some kind of prank.

Behind Nasus, a massive phantom suddenly rose up—a giant black dog howling at the sky, its pure black fur dancing wildly in the air like countless venomous snakes.

As the phantom appeared.

Nasus's armor became even more solid.

"Fifth Layer of Force - Extreme Blade Slash!"

Nasus slowly stood up; his lower limbs had been repaired, but he didn't have time to pick up his weapon.

A tremendous crash resounded...

Yakumo's crimson blade made contact with the Dark Armor.

Thunder roared and the earth shook, yet the terrifying attack released no energy; the light on the blade grew even more dazzling, radiant and brilliant.

At that moment, Yakumo had a sudden realization, and the fusion of the various energies on the blade became even more unified and perfect.

Life is primary, while thunder and wind are secondary.

The three energies intertwined and mixed within the blade.

The sky and earth changed color, and thick smoke billowed.

Nasus's expression froze completely. After the loud bang, the blade fell swiftly, severing the Nether Armor. The mysterious phantom shattered, and gray fragments scattered in the wind.

The pale bone armor couldn't resist for even a second.

It was a devastating destruction, and also an extremely sharp strike.

Nasus was cleaved open, revealing his dried internal organs beneath his bone armor, resembling those of a thousand-year-old mummified corpse. The moment they came into contact with the air, Nasus's internal organs turned into gray dust.

"So, it was the goddess who weighed me."

Nasus is dead.

This attack exceeded Yakumo's expectations. The Wood Release giant shattered and collapsed, and Yakumo's eyes were closed as he fell to the ground from mid-air.

Virtual space pops up...

Congratulations, player, on successfully completing the challenge!

Yakumo lay on the ground, making no response, his mind replaying the final strike he had delivered under pressure.

In terms of technique, it involves compression and convergence, as well as multiple layers of force.

In the energy approach, life source energy, thunder, and wind are integrated.

Together, they finally unleashed that supremely powerful blade.

"Energy fusion is the key."

Yakumo instantly grasped the key to the problem. He had already mastered the techniques of stacking force and compression perfectly, but the technique of energy fusion was something he only had a flash of inspiration about.

Life source energy is at the core, with thunder and wind working together.

What role does the source of life energy play in the fusion process?

That feeling of enlightenment quickly dissipated. Even though Yakumo tried his best to grasp it, it was like sand in his hand... gone with the wind, drifting further and further away.

A few minutes later, Yakumo opened her eyes, a hint of regret in them.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Soul Slayer.

Congratulations, player, you have gained six free attribute points.

Congratulations, player, you have obtained the "Mourning of the Nile".

Yakumo looked up and saw three blue orbs of light floating in mid-air, representing the rewards for clearing the arena this time.

This time, I got some amazing gear!

Yakumo speculates that the difficulty increases significantly above the seventh level of the arena, and only after clearing it will the extra reward items be considered fair.

Guided by intuition, Yakumo pointed towards the first ball of light.

"Soul Slayer"

'Integration' or 'Collection'

Item Type: Fusion Item (Upgradeable)

Item Description: After fusion, it will have the ability to attack souls, but it will consume mental energy when used. Prolonged use will lead to mental fatigue and even coma.

Yakumo was overjoyed. He had long admired Nasus's ability to attack souls, and he never expected that Nasus would actually unleash a soul-attacking ability.

"Orochimaru...you're finished this time."

Orochimaru's clones are more like a transfer of souls; he can avoid fatal physical injuries in this way.

But the trauma to the soul is unavoidable.

The vicious curse of the Big-Headed Doll directly affects the mind, which is why Orochimaru was so terrified; it was a method that could truly harm him.

The ability to slay souls is a natural counter to Orochimaru.

"Fusion."
