Chapter 137: Nearly Wiped Out After Three Sage Arts
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Sage Art activated, and twenty-meter-tall ice mirrors emerged from the void.
Smooth as one, they emitted visible white freezing air.
In an instant, they enveloped the Six Paths of Pain and the group of Akatsuki members.
"Yuki Clan's Secret Technique: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!!" Kisame shouted in shock, his face filled with horror. "You... Who are you from the Yuki Clan?!"
"Impossible!!" He immediately shook his head. "No Yuki clan member possesses such powerful Ice Release! Who exactly are you!!"
Kisame's heart trembled violently. He looked around at Konan's figure in the surrounding ice mirrors, staring intently, trying to discern her identity.
Unfortunately, he was destined to see nothing.
"Kisame!" Itachi Uchiha said calmly. "Don't get excited. You only need to know she is an enemy, not someone from your Hidden Mist Village."
Kisame, like himself, valued the village immensely.
Seeing a suspected member of the Yuki Clan from his village attacking him was hard to accept in the moment.
He was known as a "good guy" in the Hidden Mist Village, getting along well with villagers and various bloodline clans, deeply regarding them as companions.
Kisame was dazed, but the other Akatsuki members were not.
The moment they were trapped in this massive spherical ice structure, they immediately used their strongest powers to attack the ice mirrors.
The mouths of Kakuzu's five masks simultaneously flashed with different colored chakra lights.
Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth—five attribute ninjutsu were activated at the same time.
The five conventional attribute ninjutsu merged into one after being released.
Inspired by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Five Release: Great Combo Technique," it could be called the limit of combination ninjutsu.
The Deva Path raised both hands. "Bansho Ten'in!"
Two massive ice mirrors were instantly sucked toward him.
But it was futile.
Having been pulled only halfway, the ice mirrors suddenly exploded into ice blades, shooting down.
In the empty spots, two more ice mirrors emerged, maintaining the structural integrity of the "Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals."
On the other side, the Asura Path and Animal Path beside the Deva Path acted simultaneously.
The Asura Path's mechanical head opened terrifyingly into eight petals, firing small missiles trailing dazzling fire.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
At this time, the Animal Path completed the summoning.
Massive summoned beasts appeared.
A giant centipede, a bull, a rhino, and a multi-headed dog.
As soon as they appeared, they split into four directions, launching savage charges at the ice mirrors on the edge.
Whoosh!
Just then, a red light dragon flew out from an unknown ice mirror, arriving above their heads like lightning.
"Not good!" Itachi Uchiha instinctively felt something was wrong.
The hair all over his body stood on end, every cell transmitting a fatal signal—extreme danger!
He couldn't be stingy with his pupil power anymore; he had to interrupt the unknown ninjutsu above immediately!
Itachi closed his left eye and focused his right eye on the red light dragon.
Bloodshot veins visibly increased in his eyeball, and a trail of black-red blood flowed from the corner of his eye.
"Amaterasu!"
A small black dot instantly appeared on the surface of the red light dragon's body.
However, even though Itachi reacted quickly, he was still half a beat too slow.
Before the black flames could burn, the red light dragon exploded violently.
Flash!
The interior of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals was submerged in massive white light, turning into a boundless whiteness.
You couldn't see your own hand in front of your face.
—Sage Art: White Rage Technique!
The first time it was used, it had the greatest lethality.
Whether it was the Deva Path or the other Akatsuki members.
Facing this technique for the first time, even if they were guarded, it was unblockable and undefendable.
Senses disordered, eyes unable to see.
The ubiquitous air vibrated violently.
The sharp "buzzing" sound against the eardrums felt like it would explode the brain, and waves of paralysis spread through every part of the body.
A single "White Rage Technique" almost rendered the Akatsuki members, dealing with it for the first time, incapable of resistance.
And the next move was the fatal blow!
"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
Inside an ice mirror, Alex's second Sage Art followed closely behind.
The real-world Akatsuki members were almost all dead, so this stylistically different Akatsuki of the illusory world should also get on the road.
The art style was just too surreal; he couldn't accept it.
Giant ice spikes extended from every ice mirror.
Swish! Swish! They stabbed toward the bewildered Akatsuki members in the center.
Densely packed, with almost no blind spots.
In a breath, ice spikes filled every corner of the "Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals."
The thwack-thwack sound of flesh being pierced was fleeting.
Inside the ice mirror above, Alex breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Three consecutive Sage Arts, and the entire Akatsuki took the full brunt.
The combined power, if not a team wipe, would at least destroy most members.
He looked at Konan beside him: [Konan, are you okay?]
Although this world was fake and the characters' personalities were different, their appearances and voices were almost identical to reality.
Alex worried Konan might be touched by the scene and recall past painful memories.
"Alex, don't worry." Konan looked down calmly at the ice spikes below. "I'm fine. I know the people below are all fake."
Sigh... Alex sighed in his heart.
It seemed there was still some impact.
Knowing it was fake was one thing; being indifferent was another.
Crack!
Just then, a cracking sound came from below.
Followed by a series of crack, crack, crack shattering sounds, coming one after another like a landslide or tsunami.
A cold shout resonated through the entire barrier's interior: "Super Shinra Tensei!!"
Crash! Crash! Crash!
All the ice spikes shattered and flew sideways.
A terrifyingly extreme repulsive force erupted from the center of the ice spikes, sweeping away and crushing all obstacles with unstoppable momentum.
The ice mirrors wrapping the outside were also instantly shattered under the omnipresent repulsive force attack.
Seen from a distance.
The spherical ice structure, reaching a thousand meters in diameter, suddenly disintegrated from the inside.
It shattered completely, turning into sky-filling ice chips that exploded in all directions.
It was as if hail was raining from the sky.
The ice layer on the sea surface was also crushed.
The repulsive force pressed the water surface down a hundred meters.
Immeasurable seawater was squeezed outward with great force, setting off a circle of monstrous waves sweeping outward.
Was this the power of Super Shinra Tensei...?
In mid-air, Alex pressed tightly against Konan's cheek.
Together with her, he was swept outward by the immense force.
Truly terrifying...
He looked at the Deva Path in the center of the waves, his heart shaken.
Everything within a radius of several kilometers had been cleared by the repulsive force.
Fortunately, they were prepared in advance and retreated rapidly before the repulsive force arrived.
Although they were still caught by the repulsion, by moving with it, they weren't affected too much.
Splash! Splash!
Human figures fell from the high altitude onto the sea surface.
Alex looked closely; they were all Akatsuki members and the Six Paths of Pain.
Their bodies were full of large and small ice spikes, blood flowing freely.
Even their faces had holes; clearly, they had been instantly killed by "Inorganic Reincarnation" before the Deva Path erupted.
His "Super Shinra Tensei" was strong, but after all, it wasn't a defensive ninjutsu.
Aside from saving himself from being pierced, he couldn't save a single one of the rest.
After three Sage Arts, a large number of Akatsuki members and the Six Paths of Pain were destroyed.
At this moment, the only ones surviving were the Deva Path standing on the sea surface...
And a fiery red giant pushed to the other side by the repulsive force!
