Chapter 1458: You Want to Die That Badly? (Two-in-One)
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Claymore World.
In the center of the battlefield in the Western Land of Claymore Island.
Within the scorched earth pit beneath the massive Destroyer.
Following a man's loud shout, it suddenly rang out from above the Fire Dragon's head.
A swarm of high-speed spinning Shuriken, burning with Blazing Fire, instantly flew out from the air.
With the whistling sound of 'swish swish swish'.
They attacked the delicate young girl with golden hair and silver eyes, wearing a black one-piece short dress and a tattered cloak, who was standing on the ground below, from multiple directions.
However, the golden-haired girl easily avoided all the attacks with extraordinary skill, while simultaneously kicking off the ground and leaping towards the giant Fire Dragon circling in the air.
But in her eyes, there was not the slightest fear or nervousness; instead, they were filled with curiosity.
Smaug seemed to dislike Priscilla's gaze intensely.
It immediately opened its gaping maw and spat out surging Dragon Flame, casting a large area of scorching light around it, which was instantly broken through by a powerful strong wind.
Priscilla's right hand had transformed into a monster arm with sharp fingernails at some point.
But just then.
From the fire wave on the side she had broken through, a figure completely wrapped in flame rushed out, approaching Priscilla in the blink of an eye and stabbing out a crimson blade also burning with blazing flames.
Priscilla was slightly surprised, then calmly blocked the flame blade head-on with her normal left palm.
"So hot..."
However, as soon as the two made contact, it was the blade that collapsed first.
This caused Uchiha Kokuu, who was within the flames, to show an expression of astonishment, and he was then struck in the chest by Priscilla's pale palm.
[Boom!]
His entire body exploded into a ball of white smoke on the spot, surprising Priscilla once again.
At the same time, another blade burning with flames stabbed out from her abdomen.
Behind Priscilla, a second Uchiha Kokuu had appeared.
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes slowly rotated, flashing with a cold light.
[Puchi!]
What he didn't expect was that his abdomen was also suddenly pierced through.
Looking closely, Priscilla's right hand had reverted back to a palm at some point.
But her entire arm seemed to soften into a rubbery material, stabbing backward into Uchiha Kokuu's abdomen, then extending out from behind him, her palm covered in a large amount of scarlet blood.
[Boom!]
The next moment, he also exploded into white smoke and dissipated.
This caused Priscilla, who had landed back on the ground, to look curiously at the blood on her hand, which had also turned into smoke:
"This is... a physical entity clone? How did he do that?"
But before anyone could answer her, the Destroyer not far away once again scattered countless spikes comparable to ballista bolts in all directions.
These spikes made no distinction between friend or foe.
Whether it was the Pure Titan Warriors formed by the Eldians in the distance.
Or Priscilla, Uchiha Kokuu, and Pakura right in front of it.
Even the Fire Dragon Smaug overhead was within the attack range.
And once these spikes landed or hit a creature, they would quickly transform into Awakened Beings resembling humans or cats.
Crucially, they came wave after wave, as if their energy was infinite.
Although over six hundred Pure Titan Warriors were already working hard to clear them.
As time passed, the overall quantity of these 'Destructive Awakened Beings' actually increased the more they fought.
In addition.
There were also eleven 'Abyssal Eaters', biological weapons that attacked randomly, regardless of friend or foe.
Therefore, someone had to control the Destroyer.
Uchiha Kokuu really wanted to do this, but the sudden appearance of Priscilla disrupted the pace.
Not only did she kill one of his team members, but she also actively attacked him and Smaug.
In that case, he could only fight her first!
In the area, Priscilla, Uchiha Kokuu, and Pakura easily avoided the incoming spikes, then each made a move to quickly clear away the dozen or so Destructive Awakened Beings that appeared.
Immediately after, Uchiha Kokuu and Pakura teamed up again to engage in a fierce battle with Priscilla.
At the same time, the Fire Dragon Smaug in the air was responsible for continuously spitting Dragon Flame to attack the Destroyer.
"Scorch Release: Violent Steaming Murder!"
Pakura tightly gripped her kunai with both hands, surrounded by four fireballs with excessively high central brightness. She Body Flickered and charged towards Priscilla.
Priscilla, who had always been fearless, was unwilling to touch these fireballs and quickly kicked off the ground to rapidly pull back the distance.
At the same time, her right hand turned into streaks of invisible afterimages, blocking the blazing fire blade swung by Uchiha Kokuu.
Seeing Pakura being aggressive, Priscilla was somewhat displeased.
She immediately released her Yoki Power, condensed it into her left arm, and slammed it forward.
[Boom————]
A circle of sonic boom mist exploded between Priscilla and Pakura.
The next second.
The four Scorch Release fireballs controlled by Pakura burst in front of her, and at the same time, she felt an unbearable intense pain in her abdomen.
In an instant, her entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
"Pakura!"
Uchiha Kokuu roared in his heart.
But as a veteran Jonin, he did not let his movements become distorted because of this. He continued to use the Uchiha Ninja Sword Technique combined with Flame Breathing, Sun Halo Dance, to engage in a fierce battle with Priscilla.
"You're just a human, but your strength is quite good."
Priscilla commented lightly while exchanging blows with Uchiha Kokuu.
"However, I'm more interested in your strange abilities and that fire dragon in the sky. Can you tell me about them?"
Uchiha Kokuu sneered, "Alright, as long as you surrender, you'll naturally know everything then!"
"You want to capture me?"
Priscilla tilted her head. She seemed to be thinking: "Alright, I can go with you, but I have to 'eat' that guy first."
"That's the Destroyer?!" Uchiha Kokuu was surprised.
Priscilla said indifferently, "Destroyer, is that the name you gave it? I only know that its Yoki Power is very strong."
"Sorry, but it, and you, are both our targets. We cannot comply."
Uchiha Kokuu coldly refused, then, holding his Nichirin Blade which had turned into a 'Crimson Blade', he once again transformed into a ball of blazing flames and charged towards Priscilla.
He had somewhat adapted to Priscilla's combat style and felt she wasn't much stronger than himself.
Only one thing was very strange: the Genjutsu he used with his Sharingan had no effect on Priscilla whatsoever.
This indicated that her mental power was even stronger than his!
"You can't do it."
Priscilla suddenly stopped moving, standing in her original spot and calmly looking at Uchiha Kokuu.
"With your strength, you can't take me away if I don't want to go."
"What?!"
Uchiha Kokuu was startled, not because of her words.
But because a terrifying aura and dazzling white light suddenly erupted from Priscilla's body.
With a rumble.
The ground around her was shaking, and shattered stones were bouncing.
Surging wind force continuously spread in all directions.
Yoki Power is generally invisible.
Ordinary people can at most see the opponent's clothing and hair moving without wind.
But when Yoki Power is strong enough, it will form a brief white light when it erupts.
The stronger the Yoki Power, the brighter the white light.
And the scene of Priscilla releasing her Yoki Power now was like a flash bomb exploding.
Uchiha Kokuu, who was in a charging state, quickly stopped his figure and even retreated more than ten meters away.
Fortunately, his Sharingan was strong enough that it didn't force him to close his eyes or injure them.
Coupled with the characteristic of the Sharingan being able to see energy.
It allowed Uchiha Kokuu to clearly witness an unsettling dark purple aura enveloping Priscilla's body, which was constantly expanding and changing.
He knew that was Yoki Power.
Although the color was different from the Destroyer's; the Destroyer's Yoki Power appeared black-red in his Sharingan.
The key was that Priscilla's current Yoki Power aura was rapidly approaching the Destroyer's level!
No... it had already reached it...
Because she had completed her Awakened Transformation.
Her original height of 1.65 meters surged to over three meters, her entire skin was pale purple, her eyes were golden vertical pupils, a single horn grew from the center of her brow, and two pairs of ugly fleshy wings opened up on her back. Her ten fingers were like sharp blades.
At this moment.
Priscilla was the so-called 'Beyond the Abyss' existence.
She was a creature on the same level as the giant Destroyer behind her, which was like a pillar reaching the sky.
Coincidentally.
At this moment, the Fire Dragon was also pierced by more than a dozen white spikes, and amidst wails, it fell from the air, crushing a large area of forest and raising a large amount of smoke and dust.
"Smaug!!" Uchiha Kokuu couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene.
"White Zetsu, take it and go look after Smaug immediately!"
He then immediately took out a pill with a purple butterfly pattern from the Ninja Tool Pouch tied to his left thigh and handed it to White Zetsu, who quickly detached from his body.
This was a Special Grade Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill that he had specifically exchanged using the Military Merit Points obtained from his First-Class Ninja Meritorious Service Medal.
It possessed the powerful effect of being able to save someone in a short time, even if their heart was damaged, as long as their brain wasn't completely dead.
Therefore, it was also rated as a Legendary Secret Treasure by the World Government.
It was comparable to a Zoan-type Devil Fruit in its common species form.
But in Uchiha Kokuu's opinion, no matter how expensive it was, he should try to carry one.
This was almost equivalent to an extra life!
"Okay."
White Zetsu was very obedient.
After receiving the pill, it immediately burrowed underground and moved at high speed towards the direction where Smaug had fallen.
"What kind of monster was that just now? It looks very much like... those things."
The Awakened Priscilla looked curiously at White Zetsu, who had disappeared into the ground, and raised her hand to point at the bodies of the Destructive Awakened Beings they had killed.
Indeed, because they were all entirely white, the two did bear some resemblance.
Of course, White Zetsu was much more miniature and leaned more towards human form.
"I told you, if you surrender, you will know everything!"
Uchiha Kokuu had no interest in chatting.
He quickly completed Hand Seals in front of him, puffed out his chest, and forcefully spat out blazing flames.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Given Priscilla's powerful aura, he did not launch a sneak attack this time, but instead prepared to use Fire Release for long-range harassment.
In an instant, the flames formed a violent dragon head that melted the ground into magma, launching a destructive bombardment towards Priscilla's location.
"Is it this kind of flame again? I'm a little tired of seeing it..."
Priscilla looked indifferently at the charging flame dragon head.
At the same time, the wings behind her fired dense purple light needles.
Immediately, the piercing whistling sound resounded throughout the entire area.
The 'Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet' was instantly pierced and exploded by these light needles.
Then, they continued to sweep towards Uchiha Kokuu's location.
This caused Uchiha Kokuu's expression to change drastically. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan rapidly rotated, and he quickly swung the Nichirin Blade burning with blazing flames in his hand.
He blocked all the incoming light needles amidst the clanging sounds.
"Hmm... your swordsmanship is good."
A look of astonishment flashed in Uchiha Kokuu's eyes.
Because he only saw a purple afterimage like an electric flash streak across the air, and then Priscilla's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
She was this fast?!
[Bang————]
The next second, Uchiha Kokuu exploded.
This time, there was not only white smoke but also a split log, though blood also dripped onto the ground from mid-air.
"Hmm?"
"What a strange ability. It seems like I hit him, but he got away..."
Priscilla looked at the bloodstain on her hand, her golden vertical pupils glancing at Uchiha Kokuu, who had appeared elsewhere, clutching his injured shoulder and panting heavily.
"That was close!"
"If it weren't for Observation Haki, I probably wouldn't even have been able to use Substitution Jutsu!"
The frightened Uchiha Kokuu stared at Priscilla and thought inwardly.
He hadn't expected her to become so much stronger after transforming.
"I don't want to kill you right now, don't bother me anymore."
Priscilla then looked at the Destroyer in the distance, which was preparing to launch a new round of spikes, and said softly.
She was mainly interested in the Ninjutsu Uchiha Kokuu had displayed.
But devouring the Destroyer had a higher priority.
The few Destructive Awakened Beings she had eaten earlier were barely enough to fill her stomach.
As soon as she finished speaking.
Priscilla transformed into an afterimage and charged towards the Destroyer. The Destroyer seemed to sense danger and immediately fired its spikes before a circle of spikes was fully formed.
Their speed was extremely fast, and their density was very high.
Even Priscilla, facing a Destroyer of the same rank, was hit by multiple spikes during her approach, resulting in gaps appearing all over her body.
This was already an attack capable of causing considerable damage to an 'Abyssal One'.
But Priscilla didn't care at all.
She recovered her body immediately and continued to approach the Destroyer, letting the spikes it fired hit her body.
This was her most terrifying ability, a self-healing ability that could be called infinite.
Until Priscilla successfully pounced onto the Destroyer's body.
She began to open her gaping maw and tear into the white meat in front of her, constantly swallowing it into her abdomen.
The Destroyer seemed to feel pain. On the surface of its originally smooth body, sharp spikes appeared one by one, attacking Priscilla.
However.
Priscilla merely shook the fleshy wings on her back casually, shattering most of the spikes.
She completely ignored the remaining spikes that pierced into her legs, burying her head and devouring every piece of white meat with a blank expression.
"This guy!"
Uchiha Kokuu's eyes widened. He knew he had to stop her.
Otherwise, if Priscilla completely ate the Destroyer, no one knew what it would evolve into.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
After completing Hand Seals, Uchiha Kokuu spat out a massive fireball from his mouth, which flew directly towards Priscilla's back.
But Priscilla still didn't react, allowing the fireball to engulf her and burn her body, her movements of eating completely uninterrupted.
Until the flames dissipated, although her entire body was burned, she recovered rapidly at a visibly rapid speed.
For her, any attack that couldn't interfere with her devouring could be ignored.
So, if Uchiha Kokuu wanted to stop her, he could only charge up and kick her away.
But once he got close and faced Priscilla's counterattack, his fate was predictable.
Uchiha Kokuu truly had no confidence in avoiding her attack while injured.
"Damn it, I'm actually scared. How embarrassing, I'm an Uchiha ninja..."
Uchiha Kokuu gritted his teeth and cursed his own weakness inwardly, while his gaze became incredibly firm.
"The glory of the Uchiha must be defended!"
The next moment.
His entire body transformed into blazing flames, charging at full speed towards Priscilla and the Destroyer, shouting at the top of his lungs with a roar that echoed throughout the entire area:
"Uchiha Style Ninja Sword Technique! Secret Technique! Sun Halo Dance: Flame Dragon!"
This was a technique he had modified based on the Fifth Form of Flame Breathing, Flame Tiger, and he had poured most of the Chakra within his body into it.
At this moment.
Uchiha Kokuu's figure disappeared.
In its place was a twin-winged Fire Dragon composed entirely of flames. Wherever it went, heatwaves soared into the sky, and the earth melted and burned.
Priscilla felt the scorching heat coming from the fire light behind her.
She stopped her action of devouring the Destroyer's body and whispered softly with displeasure in her eyes.
"You want to die that badly?"
