Chapter 124: First, Kill One, Then Talk!
Nakamura Jinta swung his tachi forward, only to be swallowed whole by the water dragon!
"Whoosh!"
This technique could overwhelm even Shiryu of the Rain, who had little defense to speak of, let alone a mere Tier-one gene-locked Nakamura Jinta!
The water dragon engulfed Nakamura Jinta. The powerful current relentlessly battered his body, making him like a drifting leaf, utterly unable to control his movements.
As he struggled in the current, several feathers glowing with a dark light shot out like precise blades, striking his samurai armor hard. They produced a series of crisp metallic clangs, each one like the Grim Reaper's knock, making Nakamura Jinta's heart clench!
He stared wide-eyed in horror. In this confined, rushing water, effective dodging was impossible.
Meanwhile, the hidden Ren Arakawa was closely observing everything through his Sharingan. From the collision of the feathers and the armor, he roughly gauged the defensive strength of the samurai armor and formulated a plan.
Immediately after, the Water Release Earth Grudge Fear Mask on Ren Arakawa's shoulder gathered powerful energy in its mouth, then fiercely fired a powerful water cannon!
The water cannon, like a cannonball, rapidly charged towards the off-balance Nakamura Jinta. It hit him directly, and the immense impact sent him flying like a projectile!
Nakamura Jinta's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant wall. The wall instantly crumpled inward, creating a huge dent as dust filled the air.
He slowly rose from the rubble, looking utterly wretched. His samurai armor was covered in scratches and water stains, his messy hair plastered to his face.
"D-damned bastard, to think you'd push me this far..." he roared under his breath, tightened his grip on his tachi, and charged at Ren Arakawa again!
"Ghost Shadow Step!" Nakamura Jinta shouted, instantly activating the demonic power within him. His figure became illusory, wind seemed to gather at his feet, and his speed suddenly skyrocketed. He moved like a bolt of black lightning across the school lawn.
Wielding his tachi and leveraging the speed advantage of Ghost Shadow Step, he launched a flurry of swift attacks at Ren Arakawa from multiple angles. Blade gleams flashed, tracing cold arcs through the air.
However, Ren Arakawa's reaction speed was beyond Nakamura Jinta's imagination.
Ren Arakawa's three-tomoe Sharingan locked onto Nakamura Jinta's wrist movements, and his Observation Haki was like an invisible net, capturing every movement in the vicinity within his perception.
Every time Nakamura Jinta's tachi was about to connect, Ren Arakawa managed to sidestep at an incredibly precise angle. Every one of Nakamura Jinta's slashes hit nothing but air, completely in vain.
Ren Arakawa smiled, using the high-speed movement of "Shave" to create distance!
Seizing the opportunity, his hands rapidly formed Hand Seals!
A massive fireball instantly formed in front of him. Roaring flames, carrying scorching heat, howled towards Nakamura Jinta.
"Hmph, don't think you can beat me with this! Demonic Power Shield!" Nakamura Jinta quickly cast his Demonic Power Shield.
A layer of eerie green light appeared around his body. The shield, condensed from demonic energy, featured a ferocious demon face and emitted a chilling aura.
The fireball violently crashed into the Demonic Power Shield, creating a world-shaking boom. Flames and demonic energy intertwined and collided.
Although the Demonic Power Shield successfully blocked most of the damage from the fireball, it rippled from the impact, and its light dimmed.
Inside the shield, Nakamura Jinta felt a powerful force penetrating through it, causing him to stumble back a few steps involuntarily.
Ren Arakawa pressed his advantage.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Several black snakes shot out from his sleeves, lunging at Nakamura Jinta with their gaping maws.
These snakes weaved nimbly through the air, bypassing the defensive perimeter of the Demonic Power Shield and attacking Nakamura Jinta from all directions.
Nakamura Jinta was alarmed and hastily swung his tachi to defend himself.
His tachi became a blur of light in his hands, weaving an impenetrable defense. But the snakes were extremely troublesome, constantly searching for openings, leaving him struggling to keep up.
Before Nakamura Jinta could react further, one snake seized its chance and bit down hard on his demon samurai armor!
The snake's fangs sank deep into the armor. The immense force instantly severely restricted Nakamura Jinta's movements. His body felt as if it was pinned to the spot, able to do nothing but struggle in vain.
Seeing this, Ren Arakawa yanked hard!
An enormous force was transmitted through the summoned snake to Nakamura Jinta, pulling him swiftly towards Ren Arakawa!
At the same time, the Ukaku kagune on Ren Arakawa's back glowed brightly. The dazzling light was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, aimed right at Nakamura Jinta.
The Ukaku kagune, carrying immense force, thrust out swiftly like a master fencer's blade!
"Puchi!" With a muffled sound, the Ukaku kagune directly pierced through Nakamura Jinta's Demonic Power Shield. The seemingly impenetrable shield shattered like fragile glass under the assault, dissipating into specks of eerie green light.
Then, the Ukaku kagune, without losing momentum, continued to pierce into Nakamura Jinta's armor.
Nakamura Jinta's face was instantly filled with terror. His eyes widened, full of the fear of death.
In a panic, he mustered all his strength to swing his tachi. The blade flashed, and with a "Clang!", he finally severed the restraining snake's body.
Then, using the speed of Ghost Shadow Step, he leaped backward, creating distance between himself and Ren Arakawa.
After landing, his legs were a bit unsteady. He gasped for air, his chest heaving violently.
Looking at the still calm and composed Ren Arakawa, Nakamura Jinta's heart filled with regret.
Nakamura Jinta had entered the horror movie world right when the East Sea Team had suffered massive casualties.
Coupled with some items left behind by the old members, the strength of the downsized East Sea Team had surged instantly.
In the subsequent horror movies, the members of the East Sea Team were continuously whittled down, but the core members of the Team had never faced a major life-or-death threat. This caused Nakamura Jinta to overestimate his own combat strength.
If he had faced a normal veteran, he wouldn't have been beaten into such a sorry state in just two short minutes.
He had encountered Ren Arakawa, who didn't rely solely on the Main God Space to strengthen himself.
No matter how many treasures were left by his predecessors, it was impossible to defeat such an overpowered opponent.
"Damn you! I'll show you my true power!"
Nakamura Jinta's eyes bulged with rage. He frantically gathered all the demonic power in his body into his tachi, which began to tremble violently, emitting a humming sound!
Next, he leaped high into the air, tracing a graceful arc. At the same time, he swung his tachi with all his might. A massive, black, crescent-shaped blade of light appeared instantly. Within the light, vengeful souls howled as if wanting to devour everything in the world.
"Demon Prison Slash!"
Ren Arakawa felt the powerful force rushing towards him. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. He fully activated his Observation Haki and Sharingan, trying to find a flaw in this attack.
In the nick of time, Ren Arakawa noticed that the demonic power at the edge of the blade light was relatively weaker. His figure flashed, using Shunpo to move to the edge of the attack. The Wind Release Earth Grudge Fear mask on his shoulder unleashed Wind Release: Pressure Damage, creating a powerful air current that slightly deflected the attack's trajectory, causing it to graze Ren Arakawa's body and slash into the empty ground beside him.
"Boom!"
The Demon Prison Slash struck the empty ground, immediately causing a massive explosion. Dust flew everywhere, and a huge crater was blasted into the earth!
After landing, Nakamura Jinta looked at the smoke-filled crater and burst out laughing!
"Hahahahaha! This is a move worth one or two C-rank Side Plots!" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain from behind!
He swung his tachi wildly, forcing the Ren Arakawa behind him back, then dodged to the side!
Nakamura Jinta reached for his lower back, pulled hard, and stumbled uncontrollably.
He had pulled out a kunai, gleaming with a cold light!
Seeing the unscathed Ren Arakawa, who wore a smile, Nakamura Jinta was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Damn it! Damn it! You... how are you completely unharmed?!"
If it weren't for the A-rank Side Plot-worthy armor he was wearing—left behind by a deceased senior veteran—Nakamura Jinta would have been beaten to death by Ren Arakawa on the spot.
"It's time for you to die." Ren Arakawa very politely issued the final death notice, forming Hand Seals to release Combination Ninjutsu: Scorch Style: Flame Wind Wild Wave.
The moment Nakamura Jinta saw Ren Arakawa's actions and the blue mask on his shoulder inhaling, he knew things were bad and hastily tried to escape.
Suddenly, he found his body was out of his control. His legs felt as if they were stuck in a swamp; the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
As a Reincarnator, Nakamura Jinta understood what was happening.
This was...
Genjutsu?
However, knowing what it is and knowing how to break it are two different things.
Outside the Genjutsu, Ren Arakawa was about to unleash his strongest killing move to date!
This! This was...!?
The hairs on the back of Ren Arakawa's neck stood on end!
Through the powerful perception of his Observation Haki, Ren Arakawa suddenly sensed an intense attack about to hit him from his right rear!
Behind him, Tian Cangmu, wielding a tachi, frowned deeply and swung his tachi with all his might!
"Boom!"
A visible, rainbow-colored, arc-shaped sword qi shot straight towards Ren Arakawa.
This was...
An Asura skill from the game DNF!
Asura's Spirit Crescent Slash!
At that moment, Tian Cangmu breathed a sigh of relief.
With this slash, the enemy before him would surely have to stop forming his Hand Seals, thus saving Nakamura Jinta.
However, when Ren Arakawa completed his seals and the flames of the Combination Ninjutsu: Scorch Style: Flame Wind Wild Wave engulfed Nakamura Jinta, Tian Cangmu was dumbfounded.
How could there be such a madman! He'd rather take the damage just to kill someone!!
"Water Formation Wall!"
"Iron Body!"
"Bang!"
Ren Arakawa was also sent flying by the powerful attack!
However, after getting up, though blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, a smile also graced his face!
In that raging sea of fire, all that remained was a suit of demon samurai armor, now without a body to support it.
East Sea Team, one member down!
