Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

It dares not gamble!

I dare not gamble on how many copies this strange "mirror image" can replicate, or how much of the original's strength it possesses!

The White Snake Immortal stared intently at the "mirror image," then looked at the Spirit Summoning Legion, Mumu, and the slug, before finally returning his gaze to the calm-looking Qingwu.

The air inside the cave seemed to freeze.

After a long while, the terrifying aura emanating from the White Snake Immortal slowly receded like a tide.

It has reclaimed its throne, but its posture is no longer as relaxed as before.

He took a deep drag on his pipe, exhaling slowly. The White Snake Immortal's voice became somewhat hoarse, but he still tried his best to maintain his dignity:

"Natural essence, which is related to the foundation of the sacred site, is absolutely impossible."

It stated unequivocally, completely thwarting Qingwu's primary objective.

“However, since you have demonstrated the corresponding qualifications, I can make an exception and grant you the summoning contracts of the three goddesses, Takoshi-hime, Ichikishima-hime, and Takitsu-hime.”

"Hmm!?" Qingwu frowned and looked up.

"They are the highest-ranking managers of Ryuchi Cave, proficient in Ryuchi Cave's magical arts, and their strength far surpasses that of ordinary spiritual beings. This is the greatest concession I can offer."

Saying this means that the White Snake Immortal has admitted defeat.

In its view, this was indeed a "huge" concession. The status and power of the three goddesses would be a tremendous help once they appeared in the ninja world.

Each of the three goddesses is no less powerful than a Kage-level expert!

They offered three at once in exchange for the departure of this troublesome human and a possible period of peace.

Although it's frustrating, it seems acceptable compared to the unknown risks and potentially greater losses.

However, Qingwu's purpose was not the spirit contract.

His answer caused the White Snake Immortal's suppressed anger to erupt like dry tinder doused with oil!

"A psychic contract!?"

Qingwu almost laughed out loud. He shook his head, his tone filled with undisguised disappointment and a hint of...contempt.

"White Snake Immortal, do you think I need a summoning beast?"

He raised his finger and pointed to the dwarves, centaurs, great elves, silver pegasus, withered tree guards, unicorns, slugs... and so on standing behind him...

"The variety and number of summoned beasts I possess are beyond your imagination. The three great snake princesses? They may be very strong, but to me, they are merely icing on the cake, dispensable."

"What I've always wanted is the essence of nature!"

He paused, his gaze fixed on the White Snake Immortal's pinpoint vertical pupils, and uttered the words that ignited the powder keg:

"Unless... you, White Snake Immortal, personally sign a spirit communication contract with me."

boom--!!!

The moment the words fell, the suppressed aura emanating from the White Snake Immortal erupted like a volcano!

More violent than ever before!

Its enormous body suddenly "stood up" a large section from its throne, and countless stones collapsed from the temple walls it coiled around.

"Arrogant! Ignorant! You lowly human ants! How dare you covet my noble form?! You're courting death!!!"

The roar shook the entire cave, and stalactites fell from the ceiling like raindrops.

This time, the White Snake Immortal was truly enraged, enraged by the complete trampling of his ancient arrogance and dignity!

The grudges with Shikkotsu Forest, the fear of the unknown mirror image, the calculations of weighing the pros and cons... all of these were ignited by this extreme sense of humiliation at this moment.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three figures, each exuding a powerful aura and possessing a unique form, appeared like ghosts before the White Snake Immortal's throne.

The one on the left is tall and slender, wearing a white robe, with pale skin, a cold and arrogant expression, and the strongest aura among the three.

She is the Goddess of the Heavenly Heart, who possesses the ability to see through people's hearts and is skilled at using illusions to bewitch her opponents.

The one in the middle is petite and wears a blue dress. Her face seems innocent, but her eyes are the most cruel and greedy. She sticks out her tongue from time to time and licks her lips.

She is Princess Ichikishima, extremely fast, and skilled in physical combat.

The woman on the right is voluptuous, wearing a long red dress, with a charming yet coldly murderous look in her eyes.

She is Princess Tsurugi, who possesses powerful Sage Chakra.

As soon as the three snake queens appeared, their eyes were immediately fixed on Qingwu.

Qingwu narrowed her eyes and carefully examined the appearance. This should be the original appearance of the three goddesses. The previous child-like appearance was just to deceive people.

His expression became more serious.

The White Snake Sage is undoubtedly a Kage-level expert, but he was unable to defeat him because his abilities were countered by the White Snake Sage. If there were three more Kage-level experts...

With my overall strength at the "Strong Shadow" level, I need to be even more careful.

"Tear this arrogant fool to pieces!"

The White Snake Immortal roared to the sky, its voice piercing through the rock walls.

The three goddesses stared at the image of the "White Serpent Sage" above the Summoning Legion with some apprehension, their instinctive fear making them hesitate.

"What are you waiting for!?"

The White Snake Immortal shouted sharply, causing the three goddesses to tremble. The White Snake Immortal himself stared warily at the "mirror image" opposite him.

"Kill them!"

All three pairs of vertical pupils locked onto Qingwu at the same time.

Obedience to the White Snake Immortal's orders and hostility towards Qingwu, the "intruder," ultimately transformed into a chilling killing intent.

The goddess Tianxin, dressed in white, was the first to make a move.

She parted her lips slightly and exhaled a puff of pale white smoke.

The smoke spread rapidly, not thick, but with a strange, hazy quality, instantly enveloping a large part of the battlefield.

Within the smoke, the scene began to distort and shift. At the same time, she formed a hand seal, chanting, "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!"

The pale rocks, which had been temporarily suppressed by the Wood Root Domain, trembled slightly once again.

Although it cannot activate on a large scale and with high intensity like the White Snake Immortal, it can transform into small, sharp stone spikes to launch surprise attacks from tricky angles or create obstacles.

"Illusion magic and a weakened version of inorganic reincarnation?" Qingwu understood immediately and shouted, "Mumu!"

Mumu understood perfectly and manipulated the roots and trees created by the Tree Realm to suppress the living rocks.

At the same time, Qingwu issued an order that the unicorns be distributed in various areas of the Spirit Legion, forming a continuous anti-magic aura to weaken the effect of Tianxin Shenji's illusionary smoke.

Next, he manipulated all the great elves to draw their bows and nock their arrows, targeting the area covered by a rain of arrows and smoke.

Princess Tianxin seems to have the ability to become invisible. If she hides in the smoke, he can only passively take the beating. He has to force her out.

The great elf's arrows shot into the white smoke like a storm.

Although there was no clear target, the dense barrage of fire forced Tashin-hime to shift her position slightly, and the illusion's continuity was threatened.

Just then, Princess Ichikishima made a move!

Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant—not by invisibility, but by sheer speed!

It was so fast that it left a blurry afterimage in the spot!

In the next instant, she appeared on the flank of the summoned beast army.

Her arms, legs, and even parts of her torso were instantly covered with a layer of dark, hard snake scales.

"Celestial Technique: Serpent Limb Hardening!"

Sizzle—!

Amidst the shrill sound of the air being torn apart, Princess Ichikishima was like a tiger among sheep.

The centaur leaders at the very front only had time to hold their spears horizontally in front of them before this terrifying force tore them apart, spears and armor, along with their bodies!

Blood and fragments of internal organs splattered everywhere...

Chapter 233 Fierce Battle and Compromise!

Princess Ichikishima's target is the Great Spirit who is "protected" in the center of the Summoning Legion.

She could see the threat that ranged attacks posed to her eldest sister, Tianxin Shenji.

After breaking through the centaur leader's formation, Princess Ichikishima's figure did not pause at all, and she moved into the summoning army like a ghost.

Wherever she went, whether it was the dwarf's heavy armor or the centaur's tough fur, they all appeared extremely fragile in front of her hardened serpentine limbs!

Her fighting style is wild and fierce, relying entirely on offense as defense.

Even while enduring the incoming arrows and the warhammers of the dwarven warriors beside him, he had to maximize his destructive power!

"Stop her!"

Qingwu frowned and issued the command.

He knew that novice soldiers had little ability to resist Kage-level enemies, so the two unicorns and several withered tree guardians nearby surrounded Princess Ichikishima.

However, in the face of the interference from the roots, Princess Ichikishima let out a sharp laugh.

Its figure moved like a slippery eel, nimbly weaving between the unicorn's charge and the entanglement of the dead tree's roots.

She also left deep furrows on the hard body of the withered tree guardian.

Even when it occasionally clashed head-on with the unicorn's attack, producing a deafening clang like metal striking metal, it was only knocked back a few steps, completely unharmed!

Enhanced by magical arts, her defensive capabilities are equally astonishing.

Earth Magic: Slowing Spell!

Qingwu had no choice but to use a force field to restrict her movements.

Mumu then manipulated more withered tree guards to activate root entanglement, thus controlling Ichikishima-hime's actions within a certain range.

As for the losses of the centaurs and dwarves... we can't worry about that now.

Because Princess Tsuratsuki also made a move.
