Chapter 1479
Chapter 1448: Capturing the Silver King! (Four chapters combined, bonus chapter for Alliance Leader oOIWindIOo)
"Seriously!"
"I didn't expect to meet such a naive kid. By the way, who is Clare?"
Luni, the current No. 6 of the Organization, with dreadlocks, muttered to herself as she walked on the grassy slopes outside a tall mountain near Dicile Town.
Her mind was filled with the young man and woman she had just met in the town.
"Hmm?!"
Just then, a surge of demon energy appearing not far away instantly interrupted Luni's thoughts.
"Yoma?"
"No, is it an Awakened Being?"
Because she possessed an outstanding talent for wide-range demon energy sensing.
So after Galatea's defection, she became the Organization's new 'Eyes'.
Her rank naturally climbed steadily over the past few years.
"Is it trying to spy on my whereabouts... What does it want to do?"
"It doesn't look like something I can handle alone, tsk, what bad luck today!"
Luni hadn't finished speaking, but her body had already started moving first.
Her speed was quite swift, leaping onto the cliff in the blink of an eye.
"Too bad I'm very confident in my speed."
Luni judged the opponent was strong through demon energy sensing, so she chose to leave this place directly.
[Bang!]
Luni successfully landed on the cliff top and looked back in the direction where the demon energy had been.
"Phew—, did it give up chasing me halfway? How smart."
She could no longer sense the demon energy.
However, one thing was very strange; she had never heard of an Awakened Being that would actively seek out and pursue Organization warriors.
"It's better to report to the Organization no matter what..."
However, before Luni could finish, a violent rumble suddenly sounded behind her.
"Damn it!"
Luni quickly turned sideways, gripping the sword hilt behind her back with her right hand.
But the next second.
Her palm holding the sword, along with her forearm, was instantly shattered by a lightning-fast black shadow.
Immediately after, her shoulders, calves, and thighs were also pierced by streaks of black shadow, and she was nailed to the rock wall behind her.
"Ah————"
Luni let out a painful scream, but she finally saw who had come.
It was a girl with a pure and lovely appearance, wearing a sleeveless white dress, and hair that was pink with a hint of purple.
But the demon energy emanating from her was like a giant torch soaring into the sky.
"I sensed Dauf's demon energy from afar."
"You even discovered the demon energy I've been hiding, although it was when you were very close..."
"You passed... you..." Riful looked at Luni and smiled slightly.
At the same time.
Somewhere three hundred meters away, Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, Yamanaka Hiromi, and Hyuga Junpei also witnessed the entire attack process.
"If she didn't get Clare, did she come for this person?"
"It seems she's really in urgent need of a helper skilled in demon energy sensing," Natsuhoshi said.
"It should be related to the 'Destroyer'."
Aburame Shikuro, wearing black sunglasses, replied mentally.
"The intelligence mentioned that the 'Destroyer' was formed by the body merge of the former 'Southern Abyssal One', Luciela, and her younger sister, the former No. 5 Organization warrior, Rafaela, when they both rushed towards death."
"Later, the current No. 6 Organization warrior, Luni, stimulated the dormant mental consciousness of the merged body with demon energy, causing the fusion to awaken and become the 'Destroyer'."
Natsuhoshi blurted out after listening, "So that's Luni!"
"Very likely."
Aburame Shikuro nodded, "So all we need to do now is follow Riful back to her lair with Luni, and then just wait for the 'Destroyer' to appear."
Just as he said.
The four of them hid behind and followed behind Riful and Dauf all the way.
They arrived before the entrance of a very hidden underground palace somewhere in the mountain forest.
"Phew—, did we finally arrive?"
Yamanaka Hiromi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three figures gradually disappear.
"It should be right, there is indeed a considerable domain below, and..."
The veins bulging at Hyuga Junpei's eye corners indicated that he had already started using his Byakugan.
"And what?" Yamanaka Hiromi looked at him with doubt.
Hyuga Junpei said in a low voice, "There's a very strange... creature down there."
He didn't know how to describe the thing inside.
Fortunately, Yamanaka Hiromi's 'Perception Sharing' could also share sense of sight.
Soon, Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, and the others also saw the 'strange creature' he spoke of.
Instantly, their expressions also became strange...
On the other side.
Inside the underground palace.
The originally silent environment suddenly echoed with a few low moans.
It was Luni, whose arms were restrained by two twisted metal ribbons, hanging in mid-air, gradually waking up.
As her consciousness recovered, she immediately realized her situation.
"Damn it... my right arm... but where exactly is this..."
"Oh my, you're awake?"
At this moment, a playful voice entered Luni's ears.
Luni looked down sharply and saw Riful sitting on a chair, smiling at her, "That's great, I was worried you wouldn't wake up."
"Abyssal One... Riful of the West?"
Luni was covered in cold sweat, saying the other party's identity with difficulty.
"Correct answer. As expected of a warrior skilled in demon energy sensing, you discovered it quickly."
"However, I just reflected on it. Did I go too far..."
Hearing Riful say this, Luni then saw the four severed arms and legs lying on the ground beside the other party like trash, each with a steel rod inserted into them.
Familiar, those should be... hers?
The next second, Luni discovered her hands and feet were gone!
"Ah————, Uwaaaaaah!"
Luni immediately let out a mournful scream, tears of suffering flowing from her eyes.
Seeing this, Riful below quickly clasped her both hands together and explained, "See, as a warrior, your movements are very agile, so I was careful, and careful again, and ended up being overly cautious..."
"You've always been the type of warrior I wanted, so I won't let you escape again. Please forgive me."
She spoke pitifully, seemingly very sincere.
But Luni, with tears streaming down her face, was now filled with resentment, "Bastard..."
"Don't make such a terrifying expression. You're a Defense Type, right?"
Riful smiled, "If everything goes smoothly, your arms and legs will be returned to you. You can just use Regeneration to reattach them then."
"Of course, we also know that the longer it drags on, the more difficult Regeneration becomes, so I hope you'll be obedient."
"How do you prove your words are true..."
Luni questioned through gritted teeth.
"I can't, but... after this matter is over, I won't have any interest in you."
Riful sat on the chair, propping her chin with one hand and smiling, "Even if you leave here and report to the Organization, it doesn't matter."
"For this, your best choice is to cooperate with me without hesitation. Otherwise, if you keep delaying, you'll lose everything."
Luni no longer hesitated after hearing this, "What should I do?"
Without legs and feet, even if she could return to the Organization, she would definitely be abandoned.
Just then, the sound of iron chain dragging on the ground came.
A muscular man with a bare upper body walked into the palace hall carrying an iron chain.
"I brought it, Riful."
He was Dauf, Riful's husband, and also an Awakened Being.
In the Male Warrior Era, his rank was No. 3, and his strength was quite good.
"Just in time, I just finished talking to her too."
Riful, sitting on the chair, turned her head and smiled at him, "Then hang it in front of her. It will also make it convenient for her to complete her work."
"Yes."
Dauf replied in a deep voice, then followed the order and threw the 'thing' he was dragging behind him into the air, hanging it in front of Luni with the iron chain in his hand.
"What is this... What is this..."
Luni was so scared by the 'creature' in front of her that she became incoherent.
"How is it? Isn't it great? This is something I picked up seven years ago..."
Riful tilted her head and smiled slightly.
Looking up, it was two naked women tightly embracing each other face to face...
"Are they merging?" Luni muttered to herself, sweating cold.
Because she noticed that the two bodies were still pressing inward.
Outside.
Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, Yamanaka Hiromi, and Hyuga Junpei were also stunned.
The scene that should have been quite sensual was incredibly strange, even somewhat disgusting, in their eyes.
As ninjas, they had seen many corpses, but this kind of fusion was truly the first time.
"You said they're still alive?"
Yamanaka Hiromi subconsciously swallowed, and Hyuga Junpei beside him nodded.
"Yes, I can see the blood inside their bodies, and that energy called Demon Energy is still flowing naturally. At least physiologically, there should be no problem."
"What should we do next?" Yamanaka Hiromi looked at the captain.
Aburame Shikuro said expressionlessly, "Wait."
Wait for the 'Destroyer' to be completely born, wait for the Cloud Hidden Squad to arrive.
As he said before, they were the Mist Village Squad. Without a clear order, they didn't need to engage in combat with the enemy.
Moreover, the harvest from this trip was already abundant enough.
An Abyssal One, an Awakened Being, an Organization single-digit rank warrior who could also sense wide-range demon energy, as well as the child Riful was carrying in her belly and the upcoming Destroyer.
Oh, and the White Zetsu they sent out was still following Clare.
Aburame Shikuro was already looking forward to how many military merit points he could obtain when he returned!
At the same time.
Outside a town in Lautrec, in the 'Western Land', over a thousand miles away.
Deneve and Helen, who had just separated from Millie and the others in Holy City Rabona.
Were wearing black robes and looking out at the town below.
"Speaking of which, there's an extremely strong demon energy there..."
Helen's expression was somewhat surprised and doubtful, "As strong as Riful, whom we met before...?"
"Or is it above Riful?"
Deneve said in a deep voice, "Is it Isley, the man who defeated the 'South Abyss' Luciela..."
"Indeed, he's undeniably a guy like a demon," Helen sighed.
Dietrich, the current No. 8 who was saved by these two, was very surprised to hear this.
Dietrich was very doubtful that they could distinguish the demon energy of the one known as the 'Silver King', the 'North Abyss'.
But as she listened, she found that Helen and Deneve actually wanted to actively walk into the town to meet Isley!
"Hey!"
"What are you thinking? Don't do that!" Dietrich quickly advised against it.
Ordinary Awakened Beings were already so difficult to deal with, let alone the legendary Abyssal Ones.
And it was an Abyssal One rumored to have killed another Abyssal One!
"Ah, you just stand by here. After all, with a warrior whose demon energy is soaring to the sky beside you, there's no method to approach the other party..."
Helen turned back and smiled at her.
Then, she and Deneve transformed into afterimages and rushed towards the town below at high speed.
"Seriously... What kind of people are these? They're too reckless, aren't they?"
Dietrich looked at their back view with a speechless expression.
Just because they don't emit demon energy doesn't mean they won't be discovered, the other party is an Abyssal One!
"Hmm?"
A moment later, Dietrich suddenly felt many familiar demon energy approaching from behind, which instantly changed her expression.
They were back! The demons that destroyed half the cities in the 'Southern Land'!
On the other side.
Helen and Deneve, wearing hoods and completely shrouded in black robes, were walking on the bustling town street.
"I didn't expect it to be such a lively town. It's hard to believe there would be an Abyssal One here..." Helen looked around and exclaimed in surprise.
Normally, one demon was enough to cause panic among the villages and towns populace.
If it was an Awakened Being, it would basically be enough to destroy everything overnight.
Of course, most Awakened Beings understood the principle of 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs'.
"Better to be careful."
"Although our demon energy has disappeared, our eyes are still the original silver. Once seen by the other party, our warrior identity will be exposed!"
Deneve reminded Helen in a low voice not to lift her head so high.
As they walked and talked, they felt the demon energy in the air becoming more intense.
The next moment.
They saw a handsome man with ragged clothing and long silver-white hair walking towards them from ahead.
Although his appearance looked disheveled, the aura he emitted walking barefoot was extremely astonishing. Helen and Deneve subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
"Damn it, this guy is Isley!"
Even though there was still some distance between them, sweat had already started to seep from their foreheads.
Isley's demon energy was simply too strong.
They were already certain that the other party was even stronger than Riful.
"No, don't stop, he shouldn't be able to sense my demon energy..."
"We are still just humans..."
Helen kept shouting wildly in her mind, trying to make her body move.
"Let's go, Helen."
Deneve noticed something was wrong and lightly patted Helen's shoulder, but unexpectedly, the other party fell directly to the ground.
[Bang!]
Helen was completely stunned.
Deneve immediately squatted down and supported Helen's body, thinking inwardly with considerable nervousness, "Were we seen?"
At this moment, Isley had already walked up to them, lowered his head, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"No... no..." Deneve replied quickly, lowering her head, "It's because my younger sister has a disability in her leg."
"Do you need my help?" Isley asked again.
"No need, I'll follow my sister. Please don't mind..."
Deneve no longer had any thought of making a move against him at this moment.
He was too terrible.
"Is that so? Take care of yourself." Isley finished speaking and continued walking forward.
"Okay, thank you for your concern!"
Deneve felt Isley's departure and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
But just as the two thought the crisis was resolved.
A vacuum blade suddenly cut open half of Deneve's arm and body.
Immediately after, under Helen's stunned gaze, Deneve fell heavily into a pool of blood.
"Ah! Deneve... Deneve ahhhhh!"
Helen let out a piercing scream.
Behind her, Isley looked at the two back views indifferently.
"Hopeless trash. What are warriors who have eliminated their demon energy playing at, playing house?"
"Bastard!" Helen glared at Isley angrily, crying.
"Eyesore."
"Turn to dust."
Isley didn't care at all, raising his hand to shoot another arrow...
Helen naturally wouldn't wait for death. She immediately flashed to dodge the attack.
Using the surrounding buildings as cover, and utilizing her extendable arms, she engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Isley.
However, such a large commotion and the destruction of houses immediately caused widespread chaos in the town.
All the residents were frantically fleeing towards the outside of the town.
But no one noticed that four black shadows, in the blink of an eye, swept onto the rooftop of a small building.
"Captain."
"Hmm, it seems there was an accident. Let's watch first then."
"Anyway, he can't escape anymore..."
"Yes."
The subsequent battle situation developed normally.
Helen fell into a disadvantage against Isley, and Deneve, who had recovered from her injuries, joined the combat.
But she could no longer eliminate her demon energy, which meant her position was completely exposed.
Both Isley and the Organization could pin her down.
So Deneve proposed that she act as a bait to entangle Isley, letting Helen run first.
The two had a big argument.
Immediately after, Helen immediately released demon energy within her body, completely exposing herself as well.
"Hey!"
"Releasing Demon Energy after seven years, it's truly blood boiling."
Helen opened her both hands, feeling the strength surging within her, and laughed playfully.
"You're such an idiot," Deneve said, also releasing her Demon Energy at full strength.
Helen stood side by side with her, facing Isley in the distance.
"Same to you, but I guess it's been an ill-fated relationship all along."
Now, their strength had surpassed that of ordinary Organization single-digit rank warriors, completely possessing the powerful combat power to single-handedly match Awakened Beings.
But.
Deneve: "Rushing towards death together..."
Helen: "Isn't bad either."
Yes, they still saw no hope of defeating Isley and were prepared to die here with resolve.
"Captain?"
"What, you want to save them?"
"Their talent and strength are both good..."
"Heh, so kind, and you're actually a ninja from Hidden Mist Origin."
While the two were in communication on the rooftop.
Below, around Isley, Helen, and Deneve, figures leaping out and landing with a whistling sound appeared.
"What's going on?"
"These guys are..."
Helen and Deneve both became vigilant, scanning back and forth at these figures.
"Tch, although I don't quite understand, they don't look like friends either!"
Saying this, Helen swung her silver sword at the person behind her.
After all, the other party didn't look like a normal human no matter how you looked at them.
"Stop!"
Deneve quickly shouted to stop, but it was already too late.
The arm Helen was holding the sword with was instantly cut off by the other party...
This was Helen in her Demon Energy Release state.
Looking at the other party's appearance, a sharp, curved blade had extended from their cheek at some point.
At the same time, spikes emerged from its body, instantly piercing into Helen's both eyes, chest, abdomen, thighs, and other places.
Fortunately, Deneve reacted in time. Before they could go deeper, she immediately swung her sword and cut off all the spikes.
Unexpectedly, more spikes extended from the other party's body. Deneve had no choice but to block them with her back, while throwing Helen in front of her far away.
"Pick up your right hand! Immediately recover it along with your eyes!"
Deneve ignored her own pain and shouted loudly at Helen.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the woman whose both eyes and mouth were sewn shut flopped up from behind her.
"Not good!"
Deneve's expression changed drastically.
She could already imagine the scene of her body being torn to pieces.
"This ability seems like the Shikotsumyaku of those Taketori guys."
"Captain, Kaoru made a move!"
"It's okay, I gave permission." Qianren Hozuki grinned.
"True, I didn't expect to encounter the 'Abyssal Eater' mentioned in the intelligence besides Isley. Good luck..."
They were the Cloud Hidden Squad who rushed over after receiving notification from the Mist Village Squad who had discovered Isley's whereabouts, preparing to capture alive and take him away.
They hadn't made a move before because they wanted to wait for Isley to leave the town, to avoid affecting too many of the town's populace.
On the other side.
Two extremely fast afterimages appeared behind Deneve.
Their target seemed to be the 'Abyssal Eater', and they were both surprised by the appearance of the other person.
This resulted in both sides simultaneously attacking the 'Abyssal Eater' and the other party.
Everything happened too fast.
The 'Abyssal Eater' behind Deneve was first pierced through the abdomen with a sword, then its neck was cut off by a water flow, and its entire head was immediately thrown into the air.
However.
The two afterimages that attacked it also separated with a clanging sound, quickly landing on Deneve's left and right sides.
This scene stunned Deneve and Helen.
"Who are you?"
Dietrich was uncertain and surprised, and Deneve and Helen's gaze also focused on the strange woman.
Dietrich would appear to save people, they weren't particularly surprised.
But what was the situation with this person?
A woman with reddish-brown waist-length hair, emerald green eyes, wearing a black vest, and a metal forehead protector!
The most eye-catching thing was the black short sword held in the other party's hand.
Because it was wrapped in rapidly spinning water flow that showed no sign of falling!
"Terumi Kaoru. We can talk about my specific identity later, you just need to know that I'm friendly forces."
This beautiful, but very strange woman, replied softly, not caring.
Deneve, Helen, and Dietrich looked at each other.
"Alright, you guys leave here first. We need to start dealing with things."
Terumi Kaoru spoke again to remind them.
"Huh?"
Helen was just about to ask something but found that the surrounding 'Abyssal Eaters' were starting to stir.
"Don't move!"
"Just stand there and hold your breath!" Dietrich shouted loudly to remind them.
This made Deneve and Helen, who were about to swing their swords, freeze there.
Because they were willing to believe the other party.
Indeed, the 'Abyssal Eaters' beside the three of them did not attack them, but instead sniffed their scent back and forth with their noses.
But that Terumi Kaoru completely ignored Dietrich's suggestion.
Facing the 'Abyssal Eaters' attacking from both sides, she flipped out water flow forming a whip, instantly restraining them on the original spot, making it difficult for them to move.
"What?!"
This scene stunned Helen, Deneve, and Dietrich.
Terumi Kaoru didn't pay attention to them. She body flickered on her own to the side of one of the struggling 'Abyssal Eaters' and trapped it completely inside a Water Prison Technique.
No matter how it extended sharp blades or spikes from its body, it simply couldn't cause any substantial damage to the Water Prison itself.
Then she split into a Water Clone to maintain the existence of the Water Prison, and then turned to go to another 'Abyssal Eater'.
"Clone?!"
Helen and Deneve were stunned.
They had seen Millie's Phantom Clone, but that was just an afterimage.
The clone manufactured by this woman in front of them seemed to have a physical entity?
And what was this ability to create water and control water?
Could demon energy do this kind of thing?
At the same time.
These actions of Terumi Kaoru attracted the attention of more 'Abyssal Eaters'.
In an instant, three 'Abyssal Eaters' left the sides of Helen, Deneve, and Dietrich, and rushed towards Terumi Kaoru at high speed.
Terumi Kaoru repeated the same trick, flipping out water stream whips one by one.
Unexpectedly, this time they actually made dodging movements, easily dodging the sweep of the water stream whips.
On the other side, the 'Abyssal Eater' that was restrained before had successfully cut open the water stream whips on its body and joined the team besieging Terumi Kaoru.
It seemed that simple water stream whips were difficult to restrain them for too long.
"Indeed, they're not that easy to deal with..."
"Water Release: Surfing Strike!"
Terumi Kaoru glided quickly with rapid water flow gushing from under her feet, engaging in a dazzling mobile combat with the four 'Abyssal Eaters'.
These 'Abyssal Eaters' had already reached the level comparable to Elite Chunin in terms of strength, speed, and Regeneration.
So Terumi Kaoru was currently under considerable pressure.
Fortunately, as a ninja, she could use various ninjutsu, which was enough to temporarily restrain these opponents with relatively simple means.
"She... she..." Helen's voice trembled, not knowing what to say.
"I didn't feel any demon energy," Deneve suddenly said, "It's very likely those people Clare mentioned before."
Regardless of what Terumi Kaoru's magical abilities were.
According to their Three Views, they subconsciously believed it was some kind of Awakening.
Then it must be related to Demon Energy.
But this was exactly the unimaginable part.
Where was the demon energy?
"Look quickly, Isley has already dealt with three!"
At this moment, Dietrich suddenly spoke up to remind them, and Deneve and Helen subconsciously looked over.
Indeed.
Three 'Abyssal Eaters' whose bodies had suffered severe damage had already fallen beside Isley.
And he had already used his Awakened form...
"Is that Isley's Awakened form?!" Helen muttered to herself.
They saw an enormous centaur, completely silver, glistening with silver light under the sunlight.
It held a shield in its right hand, gripped a thick and long lance tightly in its left hand, had a pair of bone-like pointed wings on its back, and emitted a cold slaughter aura all over its body.
To be honest, it looked terrifying.
But the gaze of Dietrich, Helen, and Deneve would involuntarily glance towards Terumi Kaoru's combat.
There was no method, it was just good to look at, and they had never seen it before!
Crucially, Isley was also paying attention to Terumi Kaoru, as well as the Water Clone she left in the distance, and the Water Prison trapping one 'Abyssal Eater'.
[Swish swish swish————]
Just then, three more 'Abyssal Eaters' appeared around Isley.
They greedily sniffed Isley's scent with their noses, forcibly opening their sewn-shut mouths and drooling foul-smelling saliva.
Not only that, but the three 'Abyssal Eaters' whose physical bodies were destroyed before had already begun rapid self-healing their bodies at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, they stood up again, surrounding Isley in the center together.
"Tch, a bunch of wild beasts!" Isley cursed irritably.
He had been entangled by them these days, leaving him exhausted and extremely annoyed.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat them, but that once six of these 'Abyssal Eaters' were killed, the remaining five would immediately escape and attack again after being replenished to eleven at the Organization headquarters.
At first, Isley was disgusted by this behavior.
But now, feeling deeply fatigued, he only hoped to kill six as quickly as possible to gain more time to rest.
However, when he saw the 'Abyssal Eater' trapped by the Water Prison, he suddenly saw hope.
Perhaps that strange magical woman could help him escape this despair situation.
Therefore, Isley immediately decided to rush towards Terumi Kaoru's location to converge with her.
At that time, he would be responsible for the main attack, gaining an opportunity for the other party to trap these monsters!
The next moment.
Isley shaped his right arm, which had transformed into a lance, into a bow shape.
Then he pulled the sixteen self-made arrows placed on the bowstring with his left hand, which had changed back into a normal palm.
The instant the arrows were shot out, a piercing whistling sound echoed throughout the area.
Sixteen lightning-fast afterimages shot through the four 'Abyssal Eaters' blocking his path.
Then they continued flying towards the four 'Abyssal Eaters' besieging Terumi Kaoru.
Although this might injure Terumi Kaoru, Isley, after observing, felt that she was not that weak, and she would definitely understand his idea.
However.
Before these exceptionally thick and long arrows could fly far.
Just from the air, dense water bullets fell, smashing them all to pieces.
"What?"
Isley was immediately astonished, and then he saw a young man with snow-white hair like his own, but with short hair and purple eyes, appear before his eyes.
"Hey, don't interfere with that side."
Qianren Hozuki grinned lightly, revealing two rows of sharp teeth inside.
"You guys go help her, leave this place to me."
"Yes!"
The two Elite Genin who had just landed on the ground obeyed the order and rushed towards Terumi Kaoru's location.
At the same time.
The four 'Abyssal Eaters' on the ground had already recovered from their injuries.
Along with the other two 'Abyssal Eaters', they madly rushed towards Isley.
Seeing this, Isley could only create arrows on his bow arm again.
"Hey, I said, leave this place to me, and that includes you too!"
Qianren Hozuki smiled, and at the same time, formed a hand seal with his both hands and shouted loudly, "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
He wanted to first prepare a convenient battlefield for himself.
[Rumble——————]
In an instant, a large amount of water flow gushed out from around him.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an indescribable large-scale wave that pushed forward horizontally.
Submerging six 'Abyssal Eaters' and Isley on the spot together.
In an instant, the entire town was washed away by this enormous volume of water.
Fortunately, most of the residents had already run outside before.
As for the part of the residents who were reluctant to leave, there was no method.
"What... What is this situation..."
Dietrich, Deneve, and Helen, who had already hurried to the mountain slope outside the town.
Looked at the scene before their eyes, which was like a natural disaster, with their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.
Helen: "Am I dreaming?"
Deneve: "I don't know."
Dietrich: "Another person who can control water appeared, and they are even stronger than the woman from just now!"
"Their target is Isley?" Helen asked, uncertain and surprised.
Dietrich nodded, "It should be, but they also seem to be interested in the 'Abyssal Eaters'."
"So what exactly are the 'Abyssal Eaters'?"
Deneve turned her head to look at Dietrich, who said calmly, "They are the new biological weapons manufactured by the Organization by transplanting the flesh and blood of Abyssal Ones into Organization warriors."
"Because the Organization now actively dispatches warriors to hunt Awakened Beings even without receiving requests, I'm afraid there won't be just eleven 'demons' hidden within the Organization."
Deneve said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. The Organization plans to completely eliminate all the Abyssal Ones, and then use the flesh and blood of the Abyssal Ones to manufacture even stronger weapons..."
After speaking, she looked at Helen, "Cancel the plan to return hometown. We need to immediately converge with Millie, Clare, and the others, and then let Cynthia treat your eyes."
"Okay!"
Helen quickly agreed, covering her injured eyes.
"Then... what about those people?"
Deneve shook her head, "There's no method. In our current state, it's difficult to communicate equally with them. It's too much of an adventure. It's better to go back as quickly as possible and share everything we saw with everyone."
"Indeed..." Dietrich strongly agreed.
Helen asked doubtfully, "Huh, you're going too?"
"Of course."
"Seriously!"
"I didn't expect to meet such a naive kid. By the way, who is Clare?"
Luni, the current No. 6 of the Organization, with dreadlocks, muttered to herself as she walked on the grassy slopes outside a tall mountain near Dicile Town.
Her mind was filled with the young man and woman she had just met in the town.
"Hmm?!"
Just then, a surge of demon energy appearing not far away instantly interrupted Luni's thoughts.
"Yoma?"
"No, is it an Awakened Being?"
Because she possessed an outstanding talent for wide-range demon energy sensing.
So after Galatea's defection, she became the Organization's new 'Eyes'.
Her rank naturally climbed steadily over the past few years.
"Is it trying to spy on my whereabouts... What does it want to do?"
"It doesn't look like something I can handle alone, tsk, what bad luck today!"
Luni hadn't finished speaking, but her body had already started moving first.
Her speed was quite swift, leaping onto the cliff in the blink of an eye.
"Too bad I'm very confident in my speed."
Luni judged the opponent was strong through demon energy sensing, so she chose to leave this place directly.
[Bang!]
Luni successfully landed on the cliff top and looked back in the direction where the demon energy had been.
"Phew—, did it give up chasing me halfway? How smart."
She could no longer sense the demon energy.
However, one thing was very strange; she had never heard of an Awakened Being that would actively seek out and pursue Organization warriors.
"It's better to report to the Organization no matter what..."
However, before Luni could finish, a violent rumble suddenly sounded behind her.
"Damn it!"
Luni quickly turned sideways, gripping the sword hilt behind her back with her right hand.
But the next second.
Her palm holding the sword, along with her forearm, was instantly shattered by a lightning-fast black shadow.
Immediately after, her shoulders, calves, and thighs were also pierced by streaks of black shadow, and she was nailed to the rock wall behind her.
"Ah————"
Luni let out a painful scream, but she finally saw who had come.
It was a girl with a pure and lovely appearance, wearing a sleeveless white dress, and hair that was pink with a hint of purple.
But the demon energy emanating from her was like a giant torch soaring into the sky.
"I sensed Dauf's demon energy from afar."
"You even discovered the demon energy I've been hiding, although it was when you were very close..."
"You passed... you..." Riful looked at Luni and smiled slightly.
At the same time.
Somewhere three hundred meters away, Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, Yamanaka Hiromi, and Hyuga Junpei also witnessed the entire attack process.
"If she didn't get Clare, did she come for this person?"
"It seems she's really in urgent need of a helper skilled in demon energy sensing," Natsuhoshi said.
"It should be related to the 'Destroyer'."
Aburame Shikuro, wearing black sunglasses, replied mentally.
"The intelligence mentioned that the 'Destroyer' was formed by the body merge of the former 'Southern Abyssal One', Luciela, and her younger sister, the former No. 5 Organization warrior, Rafaela, when they both rushed towards death."
"Later, the current No. 6 Organization warrior, Luni, stimulated the dormant mental consciousness of the merged body with demon energy, causing the fusion to awaken and become the 'Destroyer'."
Natsuhoshi blurted out after listening, "So that's Luni!"
"Very likely."
Aburame Shikuro nodded, "So all we need to do now is follow Riful back to her lair with Luni, and then just wait for the 'Destroyer' to appear."
Just as he said.
The four of them hid behind and followed behind Riful and Dauf all the way.
They arrived before the entrance of a very hidden underground palace somewhere in the mountain forest.
"Phew—, did we finally arrive?"
Yamanaka Hiromi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three figures gradually disappear.
"It should be right, there is indeed a considerable domain below, and..."
The veins bulging at Hyuga Junpei's eye corners indicated that he had already started using his Byakugan.
"And what?" Yamanaka Hiromi looked at him with doubt.
Hyuga Junpei said in a low voice, "There's a very strange... creature down there."
He didn't know how to describe the thing inside.
Fortunately, Yamanaka Hiromi's 'Perception Sharing' could also share sense of sight.
Soon, Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, and the others also saw the 'strange creature' he spoke of.
Instantly, their expressions also became strange...
On the other side.
Inside the underground palace.
The originally silent environment suddenly echoed with a few low moans.
It was Luni, whose arms were restrained by two twisted metal ribbons, hanging in mid-air, gradually waking up.
As her consciousness recovered, she immediately realized her situation.
"Damn it... my right arm... but where exactly is this..."
"Oh my, you're awake?"
At this moment, a playful voice entered Luni's ears.
Luni looked down sharply and saw Riful sitting on a chair, smiling at her, "That's great, I was worried you wouldn't wake up."
"Abyssal One... Riful of the West?"
Luni was covered in cold sweat, saying the other party's identity with difficulty.
"Correct answer. As expected of a warrior skilled in demon energy sensing, you discovered it quickly."
"However, I just reflected on it. Did I go too far..."
Hearing Riful say this, Luni then saw the four severed arms and legs lying on the ground beside the other party like trash, each with a steel rod inserted into them.
Familiar, those should be... hers?
The next second, Luni discovered her hands and feet were gone!
"Ah————, Uwaaaaaah!"
Luni immediately let out a mournful scream, tears of suffering flowing from her eyes.
Seeing this, Riful below quickly clasped her both hands together and explained, "See, as a warrior, your movements are very agile, so I was careful, and careful again, and ended up being overly cautious..."
"You've always been the type of warrior I wanted, so I won't let you escape again. Please forgive me."
She spoke pitifully, seemingly very sincere.
But Luni, with tears streaming down her face, was now filled with resentment, "Bastard..."
"Don't make such a terrifying expression. You're a Defense Type, right?"
Riful smiled, "If everything goes smoothly, your arms and legs will be returned to you. You can just use Regeneration to reattach them then."
"Of course, we also know that the longer it drags on, the more difficult Regeneration becomes, so I hope you'll be obedient."
"How do you prove your words are true..."
Luni questioned through gritted teeth.
"I can't, but... after this matter is over, I won't have any interest in you."
Riful sat on the chair, propping her chin with one hand and smiling, "Even if you leave here and report to the Organization, it doesn't matter."
"For this, your best choice is to cooperate with me without hesitation. Otherwise, if you keep delaying, you'll lose everything."
Luni no longer hesitated after hearing this, "What should I do?"
Without legs and feet, even if she could return to the Organization, she would definitely be abandoned.
Just then, the sound of iron chain dragging on the ground came.
A muscular man with a bare upper body walked into the palace hall carrying an iron chain.
"I brought it, Riful."
He was Dauf, Riful's husband, and also an Awakened Being.
In the Male Warrior Era, his rank was No. 3, and his strength was quite good.
"Just in time, I just finished talking to her too."
Riful, sitting on the chair, turned her head and smiled at him, "Then hang it in front of her. It will also make it convenient for her to complete her work."
"Yes."
Dauf replied in a deep voice, then followed the order and threw the 'thing' he was dragging behind him into the air, hanging it in front of Luni with the iron chain in his hand.
"What is this... What is this..."
Luni was so scared by the 'creature' in front of her that she became incoherent.
"How is it? Isn't it great? This is something I picked up seven years ago..."
Riful tilted her head and smiled slightly.
Looking up, it was two naked women tightly embracing each other face to face...
"Are they merging?" Luni muttered to herself, sweating cold.
Because she noticed that the two bodies were still pressing inward.
Outside.
Aburame Shikuro, Natsuhoshi, Yamanaka Hiromi, and Hyuga Junpei were also stunned.
The scene that should have been quite sensual was incredibly strange, even somewhat disgusting, in their eyes.
As ninjas, they had seen many corpses, but this kind of fusion was truly the first time.
"You said they're still alive?"
Yamanaka Hiromi subconsciously swallowed, and Hyuga Junpei beside him nodded.
"Yes, I can see the blood inside their bodies, and that energy called Demon Energy is still flowing naturally. At least physiologically, there should be no problem."
"What should we do next?" Yamanaka Hiromi looked at the captain.
Aburame Shikuro said expressionlessly, "Wait."
Wait for the 'Destroyer' to be completely born, wait for the Cloud Hidden Squad to arrive.
As he said before, they were the Mist Village Squad. Without a clear order, they didn't need to engage in combat with the enemy.
Moreover, the harvest from this trip was already abundant enough.
An Abyssal One, an Awakened Being, an Organization single-digit rank warrior who could also sense wide-range demon energy, as well as the child Riful was carrying in her belly and the upcoming Destroyer.
Oh, and the White Zetsu they sent out was still following Clare.
Aburame Shikuro was already looking forward to how many military merit points he could obtain when he returned!
At the same time.
Outside a town in Lautrec, in the 'Western Land', over a thousand miles away.
Deneve and Helen, who had just separated from Millie and the others in Holy City Rabona.
Were wearing black robes and looking out at the town below.
"Speaking of which, there's an extremely strong demon energy there..."
Helen's expression was somewhat surprised and doubtful, "As strong as Riful, whom we met before...?"
"Or is it above Riful?"
Deneve said in a deep voice, "Is it Isley, the man who defeated the 'South Abyss' Luciela..."
"Indeed, he's undeniably a guy like a demon," Helen sighed.
Dietrich, the current No. 8 who was saved by these two, was very surprised to hear this.
Dietrich was very doubtful that they could distinguish the demon energy of the one known as the 'Silver King', the 'North Abyss'.
But as she listened, she found that Helen and Deneve actually wanted to actively walk into the town to meet Isley!
"Hey!"
"What are you thinking? Don't do that!" Dietrich quickly advised against it.
Ordinary Awakened Beings were already so difficult to deal with, let alone the legendary Abyssal Ones.
And it was an Abyssal One rumored to have killed another Abyssal One!
"Ah, you just stand by here. After all, with a warrior whose demon energy is soaring to the sky beside you, there's no method to approach the other party..."
Helen turned back and smiled at her.
Then, she and Deneve transformed into afterimages and rushed towards the town below at high speed.
"Seriously... What kind of people are these? They're too reckless, aren't they?"
Dietrich looked at their back view with a speechless expression.
Just because they don't emit demon energy doesn't mean they won't be discovered, the other party is an Abyssal One!
"Hmm?"
A moment later, Dietrich suddenly felt many familiar demon energy approaching from behind, which instantly changed her expression.
They were back! The demons that destroyed half the cities in the 'Southern Land'!
On the other side.
Helen and Deneve, wearing hoods and completely shrouded in black robes, were walking on the bustling town street.
"I didn't expect it to be such a lively town. It's hard to believe there would be an Abyssal One here..." Helen looked around and exclaimed in surprise.
Normally, one demon was enough to cause panic among the villages and towns populace.
If it was an Awakened Being, it would basically be enough to destroy everything overnight.
Of course, most Awakened Beings understood the principle of 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs'.
"Better to be careful."
"Although our demon energy has disappeared, our eyes are still the original silver. Once seen by the other party, our warrior identity will be exposed!"
Deneve reminded Helen in a low voice not to lift her head so high.
As they walked and talked, they felt the demon energy in the air becoming more intense.
The next moment.
They saw a handsome man with ragged clothing and long silver-white hair walking towards them from ahead.
Although his appearance looked disheveled, the aura he emitted walking barefoot was extremely astonishing. Helen and Deneve subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
"Damn it, this guy is Isley!"
Even though there was still some distance between them, sweat had already started to seep from their foreheads.
Isley's demon energy was simply too strong.
They were already certain that the other party was even stronger than Riful.
"No, don't stop, he shouldn't be able to sense my demon energy..."
"We are still just humans..."
Helen kept shouting wildly in her mind, trying to make her body move.
"Let's go, Helen."
Deneve noticed something was wrong and lightly patted Helen's shoulder, but unexpectedly, the other party fell directly to the ground.
[Bang!]
Helen was completely stunned.
Deneve immediately squatted down and supported Helen's body, thinking inwardly with considerable nervousness, "Were we seen?"
At this moment, Isley had already walked up to them, lowered his head, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"No... no..." Deneve replied quickly, lowering her head, "It's because my younger sister has a disability in her leg."
"Do you need my help?" Isley asked again.
"No need, I'll follow my sister. Please don't mind..."
Deneve no longer had any thought of making a move against him at this moment.
He was too terrible.
"Is that so? Take care of yourself." Isley finished speaking and continued walking forward.
"Okay, thank you for your concern!"
Deneve felt Isley's departure and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
But just as the two thought the crisis was resolved.
A vacuum blade suddenly cut open half of Deneve's arm and body.
Immediately after, under Helen's stunned gaze, Deneve fell heavily into a pool of blood.
"Ah! Deneve... Deneve ahhhhh!"
Helen let out a piercing scream.
Behind her, Isley looked at the two back views indifferently.
"Hopeless trash. What are warriors who have eliminated their demon energy playing at, playing house?"
"Bastard!" Helen glared at Isley angrily, crying.
"Eyesore."
"Turn to dust."
Isley didn't care at all, raising his hand to shoot another arrow...
Helen naturally wouldn't wait for death. She immediately flashed to dodge the attack.
Using the surrounding buildings as cover, and utilizing her extendable arms, she engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Isley.
However, such a large commotion and the destruction of houses immediately caused widespread chaos in the town.
All the residents were frantically fleeing towards the outside of the town.
But no one noticed that four black shadows, in the blink of an eye, swept onto the rooftop of a small building.
"Captain."
"Hmm, it seems there was an accident. Let's watch first then."
"Anyway, he can't escape anymore..."
"Yes."
The subsequent battle situation developed normally.
Helen fell into a disadvantage against Isley, and Deneve, who had recovered from her injuries, joined the combat.
But she could no longer eliminate her demon energy, which meant her position was completely exposed.
Both Isley and the Organization could pin her down.
So Deneve proposed that she act as a bait to entangle Isley, letting Helen run first.
The two had a big argument.
Immediately after, Helen immediately released demon energy within her body, completely exposing herself as well.
"Hey!"
"Releasing Demon Energy after seven years, it's truly blood boiling."
Helen opened her both hands, feeling the strength surging within her, and laughed playfully.
"You're such an idiot," Deneve said, also releasing her Demon Energy at full strength.
Helen stood side by side with her, facing Isley in the distance.
"Same to you, but I guess it's been an ill-fated relationship all along."
Now, their strength had surpassed that of ordinary Organization single-digit rank warriors, completely possessing the powerful combat power to single-handedly match Awakened Beings.
But.
Deneve: "Rushing towards death together..."
Helen: "Isn't bad either."
Yes, they still saw no hope of defeating Isley and were prepared to die here with resolve.
"Captain?"
"What, you want to save them?"
"Their talent and strength are both good..."
"Heh, so kind, and you're actually a ninja from Hidden Mist Origin."
While the two were in communication on the rooftop.
Below, around Isley, Helen, and Deneve, figures leaping out and landing with a whistling sound appeared.
"What's going on?"
"These guys are..."
Helen and Deneve both became vigilant, scanning back and forth at these figures.
"Tch, although I don't quite understand, they don't look like friends either!"
Saying this, Helen swung her silver sword at the person behind her.
After all, the other party didn't look like a normal human no matter how you looked at them.
"Stop!"
Deneve quickly shouted to stop, but it was already too late.
The arm Helen was holding the sword with was instantly cut off by the other party...
This was Helen in her Demon Energy Release state.
Looking at the other party's appearance, a sharp, curved blade had extended from their cheek at some point.
At the same time, spikes emerged from its body, instantly piercing into Helen's both eyes, chest, abdomen, thighs, and other places.
Fortunately, Deneve reacted in time. Before they could go deeper, she immediately swung her sword and cut off all the spikes.
Unexpectedly, more spikes extended from the other party's body. Deneve had no choice but to block them with her back, while throwing Helen in front of her far away.
"Pick up your right hand! Immediately recover it along with your eyes!"
Deneve ignored her own pain and shouted loudly at Helen.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the woman whose both eyes and mouth were sewn shut flopped up from behind her.
"Not good!"
Deneve's expression changed drastically.
She could already imagine the scene of her body being torn to pieces.
"This ability seems like the Shikotsumyaku of those Taketori guys."
"Captain, Kaoru made a move!"
"It's okay, I gave permission." Qianren Hozuki grinned.
"True, I didn't expect to encounter the 'Abyssal Eater' mentioned in the intelligence besides Isley. Good luck..."
They were the Cloud Hidden Squad who rushed over after receiving notification from the Mist Village Squad who had discovered Isley's whereabouts, preparing to capture alive and take him away.
They hadn't made a move before because they wanted to wait for Isley to leave the town, to avoid affecting too many of the town's populace.
On the other side.
Two extremely fast afterimages appeared behind Deneve.
Their target seemed to be the 'Abyssal Eater', and they were both surprised by the appearance of the other person.
This resulted in both sides simultaneously attacking the 'Abyssal Eater' and the other party.
Everything happened too fast.
The 'Abyssal Eater' behind Deneve was first pierced through the abdomen with a sword, then its neck was cut off by a water flow, and its entire head was immediately thrown into the air.
However.
The two afterimages that attacked it also separated with a clanging sound, quickly landing on Deneve's left and right sides.
This scene stunned Deneve and Helen.
"Who are you?"
Dietrich was uncertain and surprised, and Deneve and Helen's gaze also focused on the strange woman.
Dietrich would appear to save people, they weren't particularly surprised.
But what was the situation with this person?
A woman with reddish-brown waist-length hair, emerald green eyes, wearing a black vest, and a metal forehead protector!
The most eye-catching thing was the black short sword held in the other party's hand.
Because it was wrapped in rapidly spinning water flow that showed no sign of falling!
"Terumi Kaoru. We can talk about my specific identity later, you just need to know that I'm friendly forces."
This beautiful, but very strange woman, replied softly, not caring.
Deneve, Helen, and Dietrich looked at each other.
"Alright, you guys leave here first. We need to start dealing with things."
Terumi Kaoru spoke again to remind them.
"Huh?"
Helen was just about to ask something but found that the surrounding 'Abyssal Eaters' were starting to stir.
"Don't move!"
"Just stand there and hold your breath!" Dietrich shouted loudly to remind them.
This made Deneve and Helen, who were about to swing their swords, freeze there.
Because they were willing to believe the other party.
Indeed, the 'Abyssal Eaters' beside the three of them did not attack them, but instead sniffed their scent back and forth with their noses.
But that Terumi Kaoru completely ignored Dietrich's suggestion.
Facing the 'Abyssal Eaters' attacking from both sides, she flipped out water flow forming a whip, instantly restraining them on the original spot, making it difficult for them to move.
"What?!"
This scene stunned Helen, Deneve, and Dietrich.
Terumi Kaoru didn't pay attention to them. She body flickered on her own to the side of one of the struggling 'Abyssal Eaters' and trapped it completely inside a Water Prison Technique.
No matter how it extended sharp blades or spikes from its body, it simply couldn't cause any substantial damage to the Water Prison itself.
Then she split into a Water Clone to maintain the existence of the Water Prison, and then turned to go to another 'Abyssal Eater'.
"Clone?!"
Helen and Deneve were stunned.
They had seen Millie's Phantom Clone, but that was just an afterimage.
The clone manufactured by this woman in front of them seemed to have a physical entity?
And what was this ability to create water and control water?
Could demon energy do this kind of thing?
At the same time.
These actions of Terumi Kaoru attracted the attention of more 'Abyssal Eaters'.
In an instant, three 'Abyssal Eaters' left the sides of Helen, Deneve, and Dietrich, and rushed towards Terumi Kaoru at high speed.
Terumi Kaoru repeated the same trick, flipping out water stream whips one by one.
Unexpectedly, this time they actually made dodging movements, easily dodging the sweep of the water stream whips.
On the other side, the 'Abyssal Eater' that was restrained before had successfully cut open the water stream whips on its body and joined the team besieging Terumi Kaoru.
It seemed that simple water stream whips were difficult to restrain them for too long.
"Indeed, they're not that easy to deal with..."
"Water Release: Surfing Strike!"
Terumi Kaoru glided quickly with rapid water flow gushing from under her feet, engaging in a dazzling mobile combat with the four 'Abyssal Eaters'.
These 'Abyssal Eaters' had already reached the level comparable to Elite Chunin in terms of strength, speed, and Regeneration.
So Terumi Kaoru was currently under considerable pressure.
Fortunately, as a ninja, she could use various ninjutsu, which was enough to temporarily restrain these opponents with relatively simple means.
"She... she..." Helen's voice trembled, not knowing what to say.
"I didn't feel any demon energy," Deneve suddenly said, "It's very likely those people Clare mentioned before."
Regardless of what Terumi Kaoru's magical abilities were.
According to their Three Views, they subconsciously believed it was some kind of Awakening.
Then it must be related to Demon Energy.
But this was exactly the unimaginable part.
Where was the demon energy?
"Look quickly, Isley has already dealt with three!"
At this moment, Dietrich suddenly spoke up to remind them, and Deneve and Helen subconsciously looked over.
Indeed.
Three 'Abyssal Eaters' whose bodies had suffered severe damage had already fallen beside Isley.
And he had already used his Awakened form...
"Is that Isley's Awakened form?!" Helen muttered to herself.
They saw an enormous centaur, completely silver, glistening with silver light under the sunlight.
It held a shield in its right hand, gripped a thick and long lance tightly in its left hand, had a pair of bone-like pointed wings on its back, and emitted a cold slaughter aura all over its body.
To be honest, it looked terrifying.
But the gaze of Dietrich, Helen, and Deneve would involuntarily glance towards Terumi Kaoru's combat.
There was no method, it was just good to look at, and they had never seen it before!
Crucially, Isley was also paying attention to Terumi Kaoru, as well as the Water Clone she left in the distance, and the Water Prison trapping one 'Abyssal Eater'.
[Swish swish swish————]
Just then, three more 'Abyssal Eaters' appeared around Isley.
They greedily sniffed Isley's scent with their noses, forcibly opening their sewn-shut mouths and drooling foul-smelling saliva.
Not only that, but the three 'Abyssal Eaters' whose physical bodies were destroyed before had already begun rapid self-healing their bodies at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, they stood up again, surrounding Isley in the center together.
"Tch, a bunch of wild beasts!" Isley cursed irritably.
He had been entangled by them these days, leaving him exhausted and extremely annoyed.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat them, but that once six of these 'Abyssal Eaters' were killed, the remaining five would immediately escape and attack again after being replenished to eleven at the Organization headquarters.
At first, Isley was disgusted by this behavior.
But now, feeling deeply fatigued, he only hoped to kill six as quickly as possible to gain more time to rest.
However, when he saw the 'Abyssal Eater' trapped by the Water Prison, he suddenly saw hope.
Perhaps that strange magical woman could help him escape this despair situation.
Therefore, Isley immediately decided to rush towards Terumi Kaoru's location to converge with her.
At that time, he would be responsible for the main attack, gaining an opportunity for the other party to trap these monsters!
The next moment.
Isley shaped his right arm, which had transformed into a lance, into a bow shape.
Then he pulled the sixteen self-made arrows placed on the bowstring with his left hand, which had changed back into a normal palm.
The instant the arrows were shot out, a piercing whistling sound echoed throughout the area.
Sixteen lightning-fast afterimages shot through the four 'Abyssal Eaters' blocking his path.
Then they continued flying towards the four 'Abyssal Eaters' besieging Terumi Kaoru.
Although this might injure Terumi Kaoru, Isley, after observing, felt that she was not that weak, and she would definitely understand his idea.
However.
Before these exceptionally thick and long arrows could fly far.
Just from the air, dense water bullets fell, smashing them all to pieces.
"What?"
Isley was immediately astonished, and then he saw a young man with snow-white hair like his own, but with short hair and purple eyes, appear before his eyes.
"Hey, don't interfere with that side."
Qianren Hozuki grinned lightly, revealing two rows of sharp teeth inside.
"You guys go help her, leave this place to me."
"Yes!"
The two Elite Genin who had just landed on the ground obeyed the order and rushed towards Terumi Kaoru's location.
At the same time.
The four 'Abyssal Eaters' on the ground had already recovered from their injuries.
Along with the other two 'Abyssal Eaters', they madly rushed towards Isley.
Seeing this, Isley could only create arrows on his bow arm again.
"Hey, I said, leave this place to me, and that includes you too!"
Qianren Hozuki smiled, and at the same time, formed a hand seal with his both hands and shouted loudly, "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
He wanted to first prepare a convenient battlefield for himself.
[Rumble——————]
In an instant, a large amount of water flow gushed out from around him.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an indescribable large-scale wave that pushed forward horizontally.
Submerging six 'Abyssal Eaters' and Isley on the spot together.
In an instant, the entire town was washed away by this enormous volume of water.
Fortunately, most of the residents had already run outside before.
As for the part of the residents who were reluctant to leave, there was no method.
"What... What is this situation..."
Dietrich, Deneve, and Helen, who had already hurried to the mountain slope outside the town.
Looked at the scene before their eyes, which was like a natural disaster, with their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.
Helen: "Am I dreaming?"
Deneve: "I don't know."
Dietrich: "Another person who can control water appeared, and they are even stronger than the woman from just now!"
"Their target is Isley?" Helen asked, uncertain and surprised.
Dietrich nodded, "It should be, but they also seem to be interested in the 'Abyssal Eaters'."
"So what exactly are the 'Abyssal Eaters'?"
Deneve turned her head to look at Dietrich, who said calmly, "They are the new biological weapons manufactured by the Organization by transplanting the flesh and blood of Abyssal Ones into Organization warriors."
"Because the Organization now actively dispatches warriors to hunt Awakened Beings even without receiving requests, I'm afraid there won't be just eleven 'demons' hidden within the Organization."
Deneve said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. The Organization plans to completely eliminate all the Abyssal Ones, and then use the flesh and blood of the Abyssal Ones to manufacture even stronger weapons..."
After speaking, she looked at Helen, "Cancel the plan to return hometown. We need to immediately converge with Millie, Clare, and the others, and then let Cynthia treat your eyes."
"Okay!"
Helen quickly agreed, covering her injured eyes.
"Then... what about those people?"
Deneve shook her head, "There's no method. In our current state, it's difficult to communicate equally with them. It's too much of an adventure. It's better to go back as quickly as possible and share everything we saw with everyone."
"Indeed..." Dietrich strongly agreed.
Helen asked doubtfully, "Huh, you're going too?"
"Of course."
