Chapter 563: Chapter 499: Spiritual Body Chapter 563: Chapter 499: Spiritual Body “Cough cough~ what is this?
How could it possibly penetrate the shield directly!”
Fide couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched the firework explosion in the sky.
Had the Holtzman Shield really been pierced through?
With the shield situation, helicopters should have been able to withstand missiles!
What kind of penetration power was this!
How could those desert rats have such an attack!
Fide didn’t even know what he was facing now.
“Lord Baronet, we must retreat.”
Rasa’s face was stern.
He and Yecang, with their strength, could clearly see that it was the shadows under the feet of that legion member that had congealed together, corresponding one by one to form spears!
They knew the power of these spears was formidable, but taking Fide and escaping was just being cautious.
They hadn’t expected them to actually penetrate directly through!
They had a fair idea of the power of these shields.
In the neighboring ‘Rainforest of Death,’ the defensive power might be average, but in this world, even a common Jonin would struggle to break through with brute force.
The most convenient way to break through was still to rely on ‘Slow.’
And now, nearly synchronously, they had crushed twenty or thirty dragonfly helicopters!
Rasa asked himself; he couldn’t do that.
“This isn’t your technological weapon; it’s a supernatural ability.
The opponent is either a Pioneer or something else from the Abyss.”
Rasa, who had already had initial contact with the Pioneers and gathered some preliminary intelligence, made a quick judgment about the situation in front of him.
Unknown enemy, unknown methods, all they knew for now was that they were powerful!
At such a time, it was most important to first get the VIPs back; this was the top priority.
“Retreat?
Impossible!
Those damn rats!
I order you to kill them all!
You must!
I can’t just slink back!”
Fide was still a mess, covered in fine sand, but now his face showed a ferocious expression.
Raban had already lost all opportunities after being captured.
If he returned in such a loss, the same would happen to him!
Now that they had lost so many aircraft, his only chance to turn the tables was to kill these Foremen in front of him!
The stronger the enemy, the more they could prove themselves!
And cover up the losses!
Rasa frowned a bit when he heard Fide’s demands, thinking the man had lost his senses.
Yecang looked at him as if waiting for him to give an order.
Seeing this, Rasa sighed inwardly again.
Ah, sometimes being in a high position didn’t seem to be all that great.
Whatever command he issued, if things didn’t work out, the responsibility was his, whereas Yecang, he simply followed orders…
“Since it’s the Lord Baronet’s request, let’s give it a try…”@@novelbin@@
Rasa, even as a Kazekage, was cautious but also confident.
Even among those Pioneers, very few could match him!
Even if he couldn’t pierce through so many aircraft at once, it didn’t mean he couldn’t defeat the opponent!
This was the desert, his home ground!
Let him see who this person really was…
As the shadows bounced behind him, the ninjas who had previously jumped from the helicopters were now quickly approaching behind the Kazekage.
Having just experienced the Third Ninja World War, they too were clear on the current situation.
“Temporarily assess that the main enemy is a single person, using unknown methods to control the shadows of those Foremen.
First, probe for intelligence.
The Puppeteer Squad will scout first, with Yecang providing support.”
“Understood!”
All of them were veterans of many battles, a simple arrangement sufficed, as each knew what to do.
First off, the Puppeteer Squad attacked simultaneously, and many of them had already burrowed into the sand.
Watching one silhouette after another move at high speed toward the front, it was impossible to tell which rushing figures were ninjas and which were puppets.
Halfway through the charge, the puppets had already raised their firearms, revealing the muzzles of some weapons from the Harkonnen side!
The first moment complete integration of Puppetry Technique with modern weaponry was achieved, proving that ninjas kept up with the times!
The power of a single firearm might not be as great as a thrown shuriken, but it had a longer range, simpler trigger, and made an excellent attachment to a puppet.
However, just as they began shooting, two figures that seemed like ghosts wielding guns had already appeared among their ranks.
One figure was enchanting, every move she made was captivating.
The other appeared somewhat lazy and irreverent, fighting as if lifelessly.
None of them had noticed when these two figures appeared!
Not the slightest warning.
Both sides used ‘guns,’ but one side had rifles, the other spears!
Bang~
Medici wielded his spear like a banner, casually striking and effortlessly blasting a puppet into a spray of parts.
He then stabbed into the scorching sand with a flourish, and with a splurch—
Plasma burst forth!
“Thankfully, the boss’s trait wasn’t affected, or I’d be in trouble…”
He had already returned the reduced Serum 3 trait to Tao Yu, relying solely on Tao Yu’s own “Ironblood Knight” trait’s diffused ability enhancement.
Although it appeared that Medici’s strength had decreased, being able to use his abilities more easily outside actually turned out to be an enhancement in disguise.
However, on the other side, Scathach was completely free from Medici’s limitations.
Originally summoned by Tao Yu through the Greater Grail and with the addition of the “Ever-young Witch” trait, even under suppression, her strength had been boosted.
Her spear, accompanied by the residual images of her high-speed movements, was several times more lethal than the slacking Medici!
Scathach’s graceful figure, strangely, made her exude charm in every moment of attack.
The “Ever-young Witch” trait ensured every paused frame captured of her was at her most beautiful.
This, combined with the timing on the battlefield, created a bizarre contrast.
Bang—bang—bang—
Parts shattered and scattered to the ground, kicking up clouds of sand.
The already fine sand seemed to be further pulverized into dust!
Vast force swept around, sending ripples of distortion in every direction, dust filling the air.
The carnage wrought by the two seemed to stir up a sandstorm ahead!
The ninjas hidden in the desert were flung out, utterly unavoidable.
With a light leap, she avoided the clutches of an Earth Release killing technique underfoot, and with a downward thrust of her spear, bifurcated a body.
Bullets fired, kunais, and shurikens thrown were all brushed aside with a flick of the spear.
The clattering sound rang out…
Scorch Release: Scalding Heat Kill!
Balls of chakra, like fireballs, rapidly shot towards Scathach.
It was just after Scathach had finished a kill, in the moment her force was transitioning.
The timing was impeccably perfect.
However, upon being hit by the fireballs, Scathach shattered on the spot like a pane of glass.
She reappeared next to Yecang.
Whoosh—
Yecang’s Holtzman Shield rapidly distorted, then shattered!
Clang—
Fortunately, as a well-established Jonin, Yecang had the brief respite provided by the Holtzman Shield.
With a kunai in hand, he forced the tip of the spear aside, letting it graze past him, as sparks flew from the friction between the kunai and the spear.
Feeling the immense force of the spear, as Yecang’s chakra stimulated his arm to explode with power, he also felt his bones groan in protest.
So strong!
But Yecang, with his excellent combat discipline and firm will, endured the intense pain of bone fractures to forcefully divert the attack.
While he sustained a bloody gash, he escaped the destiny of being impaled through!
At the same time, Yecang’s mouth puffed slightly.
With the fingers holding the kunai forming hand seals, he managed to control his chakra, then exhaled a burst of orange flame, forcing Scathach not to pursue her advantage but to leap back.
Just then, Medici, who had finished clearing the puppets, appeared from the side.
Seemingly picking up a dropped shuriken from a ninja, he tossed it at Yecang.
The whistling shuriken left several distorted trails in the air.
Yecang, having just fended off an attack and successfully repelled Scathach, could only reluctantly deflect the deadly ones.
Yet, he was still marked with several bloody cuts.
But what seemed to be superficial injuries took a drastic turn as Yecang’s expression changed.
Instantly forming hand seals, he executed a Sand Teleportation technique to rapidly retreat from the spot.
After he escaped using the teleportation technique,
The reappeared Yecang was covered in blood, drenched from head to toe.
And the bleeding wounds were precisely those superficial cuts!
Reaper’s amplification of weaknesses turned ordinary attacks into critical hits, now fully manifested against the vulnerable ninja!
The probing Puppeteer Squad was annihilated, and Yecang, a Jonin-level ninja, was severely injured in an instant.
The start for the Village Hidden by Sand was decidedly disadvantageous.
The sudden emergence of two new powerhouses took them by surprise.
However, just then, Tao Yu, who had been watching the battle with interest, showed a subtle change in expression.
The sand beneath his feet rapidly transformed, curling around a kunai against his throat.
The sand gradually formed a figure, none other than the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
“Please order them to cease.”
Rasa, who had been waiting for an opportunity and decisively chose to capture the leaders upon seeing two more powerhouses emerge, now spoke with a decidedly ominously tone.
Those instantaneously crushed puppeteers were not nobodies.
Coupled with the severely wounded and blood-drenched Yecang,
their loss this time was not insignificant…
What do you think?
