Chapter 958: Amaterasu and the Underworld River!
"Ahhhhh, what is this thing?"
"Fire? Black fire?"
"So hot! So hot! Damn it, why won't it go out!"
The bizarre-looking demons, mostly black with various double horns on their heads, became even more hysterical in the face of the suffering and fear brought by the black flame on their bodies.
Initially, some demons tried to swat away the black fire, only for the black fire to spread to their arms, instantly consuming them and turning them into a pile of ash on the sandy ground.
This made the other demons realize they couldn't make further physical contact, and they immediately unleashed their respective innate magic.
However, these demons, whose levels were basically only intermediate level and lower level, had no profound magic to speak of.
Most lower-rank demons didn't even have magic.
They relied entirely on their formidable physique to serve as cannon fodder for the Netherworld.
The intermediate demons, on the other hand, knew some relatively powerful magic, such as common elemental magic like Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Water, or enhancement magic.
This wasn't much different from most ninjutsu in the Ninja World.
At most, they didn't need to perform hand seals and had more abundant energy.
That's right, in fact, the most difficult thing to deal with about these so-called demons was the point that they were 'invincible outside the Nether Domain'.
What is a Nether Domain?
It refers to magic that possesses demonic nature, dark nature, sacred nature, and rule nature.
Of course, when placed within the scope of the Multiverse, it's not just magic; using the term ability is more appropriate.
However, according to the saying in a certain world, magic with sacred nature cannot be called a 'Nether Domain', but rather a 'Sacred Domain', and elemental spirit magic is one of them.
The spirits here don't refer to the Elf Race, but rather the elemental spirits in the natural world.
Basically, in any world with a complete ecology, these spirits are bound to exist in the unseen.
And Rasa's Magnet Release Chakra is highly likely to be of rule nature.
It's just unknown what nature Uchiha Fugaku's 'Amaterasu's Fire' belongs to.
Darkness? Or sacred?
But no matter what, this black flame now made even these demons, who fed on the fear of living beings, feel an uncontrollable fear.
Because they found that whether they struck it with lightning, washed it with water flow, or even burned themselves with their own flame, attempting to fight fire with fire, the result was always being completely consumed by the black fire.
Ultimately, they could only watch helplessly as the black fire spread throughout their bodies, dying tragically in agonizing wails in this world they had just entered not long ago.
This caused the demons to quickly distance themselves from their comrades who were 'stained' by the black fire, as they had truly never seen such terrifying flame.
Of course, if anyone had seen it before, they likely wouldn't have survived until now.
This is the terrifying aspect of 'Amaterasu'.
It truly burns everything.
Or rather, regardless of whether it can burn something down or not.
As long as it hasn't finished burning, it will definitely stick to the target.
Moreover, it is truly complete combustion; as long as something can be burned, it won't produce the slightest smoke, which is also quite terrifying.
Therefore, in the Ninja World, the only means to deal with it.
Is to use a space-natured sealing technique.
However, some demons also discovered that the spread speed of this black fire was actually not too fast, and there was completely enough time to perform an excision of the burning flesh and blood.
Under the threat of death, they became more decisive than the last.
When one demon successfully got rid of the black fire by cutting off flesh or severing an arm, the number of demons following suit increased rapidly.
This should be considered a drawback of 'Amaterasu'; its temperature isn't too high.
However, it has the characteristic of consuming other energy.
So strictly speaking, the 'Amaterasu' of the Mangekyo Sharingan is actually a flame specifically targeting energy. For substance, aside from its super adherence and indestructibility, its pure destructive power is actually not great.
"This is troublesome..."
Uchiha Fugaku stood on the back of the black eagle, sighing inwardly with a solemn expression.
There were too many demons, and they had learned how to deal with localized black fire. If this continued, not many would be burned to death.
This was another drawback of 'Amaterasu'.
When facing substance, without the artificial control of spread speed by 'Kagutsuchi', the speed is insufficient.
[Boom!]
Suddenly, Uchiha Fugaku saw rolling gold dust sweeping towards them like a tide.
When this gold dust came into contact with the black fire.
The flame of the latter grew at an incredible speed, simultaneously spreading to a larger range with the flow of the gold dust.
A moment later, almost every grain of gold dust was covered in a layer of black fire, and under Rasa's control, it consciously flowed everywhere, thereby covering more demons.
This scene not only stunned Uchiha Fugaku but also the Konoha ninja and Sand ninja on the front line in the distance.
"Is this the legendary 'Amaterasu's Fire' of the Uchiha Clan? It truly lives up to its reputation."
Rasa said, stepping on a mass of gold dust and flying to Uchiha Fugaku's side, praising him.
The Uchiha Clan was so famous in the Ninja World; every ninja village had extensive records of their various legends.
"Sunagakure's Magnet Release is also very famous."
Uchiha Fugaku replied indifferently, completing the basic process of 'commercial mutual praise'.
But it must be said.
The combination of Amaterasu and Magnet Release is truly a perfect counter to this kind of human wave tactics.
Of course, Magnet Release could be replaced by something else.
After all, it's just a mobile carrier; the key is still Amaterasu.
"Styx Magic: Abyss Waterfall!"
Just as Uchiha Fugaku and Rasa's mood had relaxed for only a few seconds, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded on the scene.
When the two of them turned their heads in unison towards the sound source.
They immediately discovered a slender figure, nearly three meters tall, with double horns on its head and a pair of wings on its back, completely black except for its face and chest, floating in mid-air in the distance.
However, the most eye-catching thing wasn't it.
But a black space rift that had opened overhead, and the black water flow gushing out from the rift.
Soon, the water flow followed as the opening of the rift expanded to its maximum, finally forming a waterfall-like scene.
[Rumble!]
Large amounts of black water continuously fell onto the sandy ground, bringing with it bursts of rumble, and simultaneously forming a surging tide that spread forward, yet strangely, no black water flowed backward.
"The Styx Demon has made its move!!!"
"Kahahaha, I knew there would definitely be an upper demon, but I didn't expect it to be Lord Aketos!"
The demons who had luckily survived the impact of the 'Amaterasu Gold Sand' were all beaming with delight upon seeing this scene.
And when they saw the black fire on some demons' bodies rapidly disappearing under the washing away of the black water, and the gold dust sinking to the bottom of the water as if losing its spirit, they were even more overjoyed.
This showed that Aketos's Styx Magic could completely deal with this terrifying black fire!
At the same time.
Uchiha Fugaku and Rasa, flying in the air, had serious expressions.
Even seeing the space rift above slowly disappear and the black water no longer flowing out, they didn't show the slightest intention to relax.
Because they felt an indescribable pressure from that 'Styx Demon'.
You could tell this guy was strong without even having to exchange blows!
"These black water seem to be able to wash away the Magnet Release Chakra on the gold dust."
Rasa reminded in a low voice. At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku nodded and replied, "Yes, and it can also counteract my 'Amaterasu'!"
He could actually summon more black fire, but it seemed now that the black water the opponent could summon was highly likely to be more than his black fire.
There was no need to compete in quantity, it was better to find a method to directly eliminate the opponent!
"But why didn't this guy make a move before? Why wait until now?"
Rasa said, somewhat confused.
But before Fugaku could answer, they heard Aketos in the distance grin coldly, "Because I couldn't beat that monster who used sand, so naturally I wouldn't seek death. But dealing with you guys is no problem, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Let me introduce myself, I am Aketos, an upper demon from the first layer of the Netherworld. The magic I use is what you just saw... Styx Magic, which as the name suggests, controls the river water of the Netherworld."
"Please give me your guidance, you human experts who are about to become corpse-less."
After hearing these words, Uchiha Fugaku and Rasa exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and doubt in the other's eyes.
The surprise goes without saying.
The point of doubt was, why would this guy voluntarily introduce his ability?
This was difficult for them, being ninja, to understand...
"Ahhhhh, what is this thing?"
"Fire? Black fire?"
