Konoha's Mission Master

The rain poured down, and the fog was as vast as the sea.

Yakumo concealed himself as much as possible behind the bushes, not daring to make any sudden movements. He felt death coming from the god-level monster.

The nine-headed serpent in the distance lowered its head to sniff the surroundings, its scarlet tongue protruding as if sensing the abnormal heat in the area, its golden vertical pupils cold and emotionless.

This nine-headed serpent is a dragon-level monster, even stronger than the octopus monster that Yakumo and his companions hunted.

But in front of that god-level monster, it could only serve as a mount.

At this moment, what truly terrified Yakumo was the god-like monster sitting on the throne. His gaze was fixed on the rain curtain in the sky, his face expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Yakumo could feel the incredibly wild and insane will within his flesh and blood... which instilled fear in people unconsciously.

Yakumo covered his entire body with the eternal slumber mist as much as possible, continuously increasing the density of the surrounding fog, and using soul energy to cover his body surface, trying his best to conceal the traces of his existence.

At this moment, he felt as if he were dancing on a knife's edge.

This was still not a safe option, and Yakumo was always ready to retreat.

A minute passed, and the god-level monster still hadn't moved.

But the nine-headed serpent began to move its massive body, however... slowly moving away from Yakumo's position.

Clearly, the eternal slumber mist and the isolation of the soul concealed Yakumo's existence.

Yakumo dares not move now, or even investigate.

He could only follow his instincts... hold his breath and slow his heartbeat.

Slow down...the speed of blood flow, and turn yourself into a stone.

Yakumo knew... this god-level monster was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.

This level of threat is equivalent to that of Im from the One Piece world, only the focus is different. Im's strength lies in his mental will, while the strength of this god-level monster lies in his physique.

Even though it didn't release its own pressure, and seemed to be in a deep sleep with slow breathing, the pressure on its life level still... made Yakumo tremble with fear.

The physique of a god-level monster... is it ninety or one hundred?!

This gap is something that Yakumo cannot currently match.

Yakumo held his breath as wings sprouted from the back of the nine-headed serpent. The wings were extremely thick and covered with terrifying bone spurs, with a wingspan of over three hundred meters. The terrifying giant wings vibrated, stirring up a gale.

Against the backdrop of the hurricane, the enormous snake-like shadow soared into the sky.

"We cannot fight them by force, we cannot fight them by force..."

Yakumo remained crouched in place, not daring to make any move. What was the dignity of the strong compared to his own life?

This is not cowardice, but rather acting from the heart.

The torrential rain showed no sign of stopping, the blood-red rain washing over everything around him. He could feel... a cold gaze looking down on this area from a very high position.

The god-level monster is still monitoring the surrounding area.

Accompanied by strong winds, the thick fog gradually dissipated.

Yakumo's expression changed. That god-level monster probably already guessed that he was nearby, and what he had to do was... disperse the surrounding fog and find the hero who was hunting him down.

If the thick fog dissipates, his location will be revealed.

The eternal slumber mist spread, trying to maintain the stability of the surrounding fog. The two fogs merged and converged, and Yakumo himself quickly stood up and slowly ran towards the building not far away.

He knew at that moment that only by using those buildings as cover could he perfectly hide himself.

When Yakumo stepped into the building, the thick fog around him had completely dissipated.

The Bone King resided in the sky, and as he surveyed the surroundings, he could see everything, but he found nothing unusual about the land.

“Interesting, these bugs are more interesting than ever before.”

He clearly sensed the sudden change and arrived within about three seconds, but he couldn't find the hero who had launched the attack.

"Those who excel at speed?"

The giant serpent flapped its wings and carried away the god-level monster, the White Bone King.

Yakumo heard the whispers of the god-level monster before he left, which resounded like an ancient bell and lingered for a long time... like raging waves crashing against the cliffs by the sea.

Two minutes later, the terrifying pressure finally disappeared.

This brief attempt made Yakumo realize that his Eternal Sleep Mist, combined with soul energy, could indeed isolate the senses of that god-level monster.

From this perspective... the hunting can still be planned.

Yakumo waited quietly in the building for a while before choosing a direction opposite to that of the god-level monster and continuing on his way.

Although Tiger-level and Demon-level monsters do not reward attribute points, they do reward conquest points, which can be exchanged for many valuable rewards, so the more the better.

Amidst the rain of blood, Yakumo moved swiftly, constantly searching for his target. Tiger-level monsters... could be dealt with almost instantly, so it wouldn't take much time to fight.

In Yakumo's mind, these strange people were equivalent to battle points, and when searching for a solution, he did not hesitate or pause for even a moment.

On his journey, Yakumo's greatest danger is the god-level monsters who often descend from the sky; however, he is quite adept at facing them due to his frequent encounters.

That night... Yakumo explored most of K City, and the total battle time reached twenty minutes, when the influence of that unknown god reappeared.

Yakumo also received his second negative status.

Visual deprivation.

After this negative state appeared, Yakumo lost his sight, but fortunately, he had the Soul Eye... so it didn't affect his battle.

At four o'clock that morning, Yakumo returned to the temporary base.

at present…

Conquest Points: 87400.

In those few hours, Yakumo and that god-level monster met six times in total, each time with great tension, giving the illusion that he would be discovered at any moment. Yakumo became more and more skilled as he went on, playing the cat-and-mouse game with increasing proficiency.

Unfortunately... he was that poor mouse.

The nine-headed serpent roared angrily in the sky.

As the time reached five o'clock in the morning, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the torrential rain of blood gradually subsided, and even the howling hurricane gradually calmed down... The orange-red sun rose from the east.

Even the warmth of the early morning sun could not dispel the chill in K City at this time, and the trees on the streets still looked like twisted demons.

In the distance, where the sky meets the earth, lies a thin line—a gigantic, nine-headed serpent-like monster—with the god-like being seated atop it.

Its vision swept across the entire city of K.

A nine-headed serpent soared through the sky, and beside it... there were dozens of flying monsters whose gazes monitored the entire city of K.

Yakumo's hunt one night angered the strange organization behind it.

Now they are beginning to use their influence, turning K City into a hunting ground, searching for traces of Yakumo and the others, for only blood can appease the monster organization's anger.

At this moment, the sky was bright, and Yakumo needed to think about how to bypass the patrols of the god-level monsters and the many flying monsters and return to the temporary base.

We absolutely cannot let Mori Masako and Yuuki Chiyuki... worry.

Chapter 375 Using Special Items

Amidst the skyscrapers, countless strange creatures resembling giant birds soared orderly through the sky, forming a surveillance network with no blind spots. Their sharp, eagle-like eyes surveyed the entire city of K from above.

Yakumo was like a rare beast that had strayed into a steel jungle, surrounded by hunters with guns, ready to attack him en masse.

If he is discovered, that god-level monster might bestow a favor, granting these monsters the possibility of advancing further.

The only good news is that the monster organization has not chosen to go on a killing spree and is still maintaining some order. It seems that they are unwilling to break the rules set many years ago.

Of course, the monsters chasing them were not only flying monsters, but also special monsters who possessed mental powers.

Above Yakumo's head, a giant octopus floated in mid-air, with about five hundred tentacles, each ending in a crimson giant eye.

If you include the eyeballs on the surface of the body, this giant octopus has exactly one thousand and one eyeballs in total.

Those cold, indifferent eyes swept over all the buildings below.

As the giant snake beneath the feet of the god-level monster raised its head and let out a very low hiss, all the monsters that had been sleeping inside the surrounding residential area awoke and quickly moved through the buildings, searching for traces of the enemy.

Heaven and earth form a double surveillance network.

Yakumo inwardly cursed, knowing that thanks to the special properties of the Soul-Soul Fruit, he was confident he could hide himself while remaining still, but Yukotsu Chiyuki and Mori Masako could not.

The two of them could not escape this surveillance network that worked together between heaven and earth. The good news was that... the one with mental abilities was moving away from where Yakumo was.

"Think of a solution quickly!"

We must find a way!

All the strange people in the city have awakened and, following the command of the multi-eyed monster in the sky, are conducting a thorough search of the entire city.

If Yakumo allows these strange people to advance their plan, then Masako Mori and Chiyuki will inevitably be exposed. He must think of a way to break the deadlock and prevent this from happening.

Yakumo moved around inside the building, climbing the stairs continuously. At this point, he was only a few streets away from the temporary base.

In other words, as long as he is in a very high position, he can keep track of the situation at the temporary stronghold at any time and make the most effective judgments.

When Yakumo left yesterday, he only intended to explore the surrounding environment and did not explain to the two of them. However, he encountered a three-headed demon-level monster fighting and ultimately could not resist the temptation.

Those are all mobile conquest points!

Now I just hope that Masako Mori won't act impulsively.

After all, the two of them are currently burdened with negative status effects and are simply unable to defeat a Dragon-level monster, let alone that... God-level monster high in the sky.

Yakumo quickened his pace and arrived at the top floor.

He didn't need to look through the windows; he only needed to press himself against the wall and quietly release his soul energy. The scene of the temporary base community appeared in Yakumo's mind, and a strange person in the form of a crab was already approaching the temporary base.

According to Yakumo's calculations, there are currently over 300 residential complexes in K City. Not every complex has a Dragon-level monster as its leader, but the proportion of Dragon-level monsters is roughly half...

This organization has at least 150 Dragon-level monsters.

In fact, Yakumo's estimate was already conservative. The monster organization in K City is called the White Bone Society, which has a total of 230 Dragon-level monsters.

The Chairman, a god-level monster, the Bone King.

The two vice presidents are demigod-level monsters.
