Chapter 957: Underworld Domain? Erosion Reincarnation!
This was Crocodile's research insights.
Namely, the awakening of Logia users was actually the best sealing method.
It was far stronger than sealing jutsu, which would automatically lose effect once the jutsu user's input chakra was depleted.
"Now it's time to clean up you trash."
Crocodile's cold gaze swept across the dense crowd of demons below.
At the same time, he slowly raised his right palm, which was covered in various colored jewels, shimmering brightly under the sunlight.
"Erosion Reincarnation!!"
In an instant, his right palm heavily struck the side wall of the pyramid, transmitting the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit within Crocodile's body into this not-so-large desert.
Not long after, whether they were demons or ninja, they all discovered that the earth beneath their feet began to shake violently.
[Boom boom boom boom!]
Suddenly, waves of yellow sand, like spurting water columns, and also like erupting magma, shot up into the sky one after another from within the demon army.
Looking down from Crocodile's viewpoint.
He could clearly see the yellow color on the earth rapidly spreading.
At the same time, as the sand pillars continuously fell from the sky, the thickness of the sand layer rapidly increased.
But the demons were surprised to find that their legs, which had sunk into the sand, were firmly held, and a powerful suction force was trying to pull their bodies down.
This was quicksand!
However, this was not the most terrifying thing...
"Ahhh, what's happening, I! My body!"
"These sand are sucking the blood from inside us?!"
Demons of various strange appearances, yet equally ferocious and terrifying, screamed frantically in the surging quicksand.
They only felt that every grain of sand that touched their skin was causing their skin and flesh to dry up.
"Underworld Domain!"
A medium-rank demon shrieked and wailed just before being swallowed by the quicksand: "This is Underworld Domain magic!!!"
"Underworld Domain?"
"How is that possible? This is clearly a type of elemental magic!"
"Making elements possess the power of rules is something only highest-rank demons can do!"
There were clearly some more knowledgeable demons within the demon army.
However, this cruel reality kept reminding them that this was the fact!
"Demon, these sand contain demonic aura, although it's very faint, I'm sure it's demonic aura!"
"Are you a demon? A native demon of this world? Or a demon from other worlds?"
At this moment, another demon roared in anger towards Crocodile in the air.
But it didn't understand why such a weak demonic aura could possess such powerful strength.
The suction force beneath the sand layer was simply impossible to break free from.
"Huh?"
Crocodile raised an eyebrow.
He suddenly remembered that Shinno had said something similar before.
Could it be that Devil Fruit really had some connection with these demons?
Or was it true, as the legend said, that a demon resided within the Devil Fruit?
But he had already awakened and didn't feel anything.
However, it had been confirmed by the Academy of Science that beast soul existed within Animal System Devil Fruit.
At the same time.
Crocodile also noticed Rasa, who was constantly attacking and killing demons by controlling ten Sand Gold Spears.
He didn't even need to ask the other party; just by feeling the high concentration of Magnet Release chakra signature attached to those Sand Gold Spears, he could guess that Magnet Release chakra also had the effect of harming demons.
It was just that the efficiency was too poor.
If they relied solely on Rasa's method, even if these demons didn't move, it would take an extremely long time to kill them all.
"It seems that to completely solve this, we still need to cut off the source."
Crocodile's gaze looked towards the volcano cave entrance in the distance, where large numbers of demons were still running out.
Shukaku should also be inside there.
[Whoosh----]
The next second, with a strong wind blowing.
Crocodile's body turned into yellow sand and quickly drifted towards the volcano that was spewing thick black smoke and firelight.
Rasa, Chiyo, and others in the distance saw this scene, and the impatience and unease in their hearts quickly returned to calm.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, and the process wasn't exactly friendly.
Crocodile's strength at this moment brought them a powerful sense of safety.
And that was indeed the fact.
Given that most ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and even bloodline limits were ineffective against demons, if not for the strong support of the World Government, this Ninja World would likely be completely fallen.
As for the Ninja World's only hope, the Sage of Six Paths, to them, he was just a legend story.
Meanwhile.
Crocodile's move 'Erosion Reincarnation' before leaving directly cleared countless demons.
This bought the Sunagakure ninja precious breathing time.
Many people even sat down on the sand, panting heavily.
A strange thing appeared.
What these Sunagakure ninja took out from their leg pouches was not Military Ration Pills, but white pills with purple butterfly patterns printed on the surface.
When they swallowed them, a moment later, a faint green glow appeared on everyone's skin.
Their originally pale expression due to excessive chakra consumption also became much more rosy.
It was just a pity that these Purple Butterfly Emergency Pills could only replenish the human body's life force.
So their spirit did not recover much, and they were still in a groggy state.
Somewhat like healthy young people who had stayed up too late...
In fact, this was not the first time they had taken Purple Butterfly Emergency Pills.
From fighting the Iwagakure army, then the Moryo army, and now fighting the demon army.
These Sunagakure ninja could say they had only been able to persevere until now thanks to this stuff.
It was just that after fighting until now, there were only a few Purple Butterfly Emergency Pills left, and many people had even taken their last one.
On the other side, the demons clearly didn't want to give them too much rest time.
A dense demon army had already appeared again in the distance.
And this time, Crocodile couldn't help them.
"Cheer up, everyone!"
Immediately, Rasa, as the Fourth Kazekage, flew over on a mass of gold dust and shouted loudly.
"We are not fighting for the interests between villages this time, but for the protection of our own world! If you don't want the parents, family, and children in the village to face these terrifying demons, then show me the resolve to die here!!!"
The Sunagakure ninja were stunned, and then they all thought of the faces of their family members at home.
That's right!
If these demons broke through the defense line, wouldn't the people they loved...
Thinking of this, the ninja who had originally slumped down began to grit their teeth and stand up.
Seeing this, Rasa and Chiyo exchanged glances.
At least the morale was usable!
"I will buy you more rest time and recover more chakra as quickly as possible!"
Rasa immediately flew towards the demon army alone.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust!!"
He clapped his hands in front of him, and an angry roar erupted from his mouth.
[Rumble!]
Suddenly.
From the earth, which had already turned into a desert, a massive wave of gold sand inexplicably surged out.
Under the control of Magnet Release power, they formed wave after wave of gold dust surges, sweeping forward overwhelmingly.
Rasa was indeed worthy of the name Fourth Kazekage; he could be relied upon at critical moments.
Previously, he had not used such a large scale of gold dust to conserve chakra.
But now Rasa had realized that the focus was not on how many demons he killed.
Instead, it was on helping his side hold out until Crocodile solved the source.
Also, Rasa believed that the World Government's support force must already be on its way.
About twenty minutes later.
The support troops did arrive, but they were not the World Government's troops, but the Konoha troops led by Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku.
After they arrived, they didn't hesitate and directly contacted Chiyo and Pakura.
They asked them to help command the Sunagakure ninja to retreat and hand over the defense line to the Konoha ninja.
This made Chiyo, Pakura, and the other Sunagakure ninja overjoyed.
Not long after, Uchiha Fugaku, who had listened to the latest intelligence about the demons, frowned and asked:
"Is it true that only Magnet Release chakra can harm demons? I'd like to try."
After speaking, under the awe-filled gazes of many Konoha ninja around him, including Uchiha clansmen.
Uchiha Fugaku himself turned into an afterimage, flying out with a strong whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Rasa's vicinity.
"The Uchiha Clan Leader?"
"It's useless, only my Magnet Release can deal with these demons!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Uchiha Fugaku immediately bit his finger, and while blood flowed out, he heavily slapped the sandy ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
[Boom----]
As a puff of white smoke exploded, a large black eagle suddenly appeared, carrying Uchiha Fugaku on its back and flying towards high altitude.
This was a summoning beast Uchiha Fugaku had casually captured on the way here.
He had truly suffered enough from not being able to fly when facing Mukade before.
"He's preparing to use Fire Release, but it's useless, a waste of chakra!"
Rasa snorted coldly upon seeing this.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku flew over the demon army on the black eagle.
When his line of sight looked down below.
His eyes first turned into Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Then quickly transformed into the eerie Mangekyo Sharingan.
In an instant, a stern look flashed in the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan.
"I don't believe that the flame said to exist at the center of the sun in legend cannot burn these demons to death!"
"Amaterasu!!!"
The next moment, as a bloody tear flowed from Uchiha Fugaku's left eye socket.
A pitch-black flame appeared out of thin air within the demon army.
[Boom----]
The black flame began to burn on the black demons.
This was Crocodile's research insights.
Namely, the awakening of Logia users was actually the best sealing method.
It was far stronger than sealing jutsu, which would automatically lose effect once the jutsu user's input chakra was depleted.
"Now it's time to clean up you trash."
