Chapter 171 A Feast for the Gluttons
Chapter 171 A Feast for the Gluttons
The Wraith's movements immediately caught Akali's attention.
Even in his fallen state, the Darkin, whose former handsome features were still evident, turned his head, and the red light in his eyes shone like a laser sight onto the Wraith.
Noticing Aatrox's movements, the demon trembled.
Upon seeing this, Aatrox grinned menacingly: "Hmph, trying to escape? Mere ingredients, you think you can escape the hunter?"
Aatrox's powerful yet slightly sinister and hoarse voice made the demon even more terrified.
In the past, immortality was the capital that allowed demons to cause trouble at will.
But now you're telling it that someone can devour it? How can the demon accept that?
"Kill it! All of you, charge!"
The increasingly bewildered demon ordered the divine terracotta warriors to step forward.
At this moment, Amaterasu's black flames swept towards Aatrox like machine gun bullets.
The jet-black fireball was still quite noticeable even in the darkness created by Tsukuyomi.
Akali had already verified that these Amaterasu black flames had the same characteristics as the Amaterasu eye technique, or rather, the Amaterasu eye technique resembled it, but it didn't matter.
Seraph, Iron Shirt, and the ultimate technique, Rayquaza... Akali used a variety of defensive shields or armors in turn, and thanks to Amaterasu's ability to be broken by removing clothing, she successfully ignored Amaterasu's black flames.
At the same time, a shadow clone wielding Rhaast's giant scythe quietly separated from Aatrox's body.
Then, facing Susanoo who was swinging his sword at her, Akali controlled Aatrox and swung his sword: "Chains of Hellfire!"
"brush--"
A fiery red chain shot out and bound Susanoo.
With Tsukuyomi useless, Amaterasu ignoring him, and Susanoo temporarily binding her, Akali finally has the chance to engage in a thrilling 1v1 top lane showdown with Wraith!
The enormous fallen god raised his greatsword and then brought it crashing down!
Add to that a short dash of shadows, which is very short for a giant but a long distance for an ordinary person.
"Boom—"
The already chaotic mountainside was shattered!
"So heavy!" The terracotta warrior, bracing itself against the spear with both hands and kneeling on one knee, desperately blocked Aatrox's sword. A vivid look of horror appeared on its mask: "Wasn't that your full strength before?!"
“Guess!” Akali said in a hoarse voice through Aatrox.
"You wretched brat, I'll fight you to the death!"
The demon forcefully pushed aside the Darkin Greatsword, and its clay armor suddenly melted, turning into primordial mud.
As the demons changed, Susanoo, who was still struggling under the chains of evil fire, suddenly froze, and the armor on his body also turned into mud and melted away.
Then the mud scattered and swam towards the demon as if it were alive.
If Akali were to pay attention to her minimap vision at this moment, she would see that the undead terracotta warriors at the front line had all stopped moving and melted away.
A vast amount of power flew back from all over the ninja world, flowing into Moryo's body like a hundred rivers converging. With the continuous influx of the withdrawn power, Moryo's body began to grow wildly.
Two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters, five hundred meters, six hundred meters!
In the end, the demon transformed into a 600-meter-tall clay giant, and the broken mountain valley looked like a small stool in front of it!
However, this clay giant was clearly not in good condition. If the original appearance of the demon was that of a cold and mighty soldier.
So the current "Wangliang" is a rough human shape made by children in art class, using erasers to stick together pieces of paper.
Huge gaps filled between the clay pieces, as if even the slightest violent tremor could cause it to fall apart!
The demon was clearly very dissatisfied with this appearance: "Damn brat, if it weren't for your interference, why would I have started to reclaim my power before even achieving my perfect form!"
"As compensation, I will imprison your soul in a terracotta figurine, tormenting you for eternity, until the end of the world!"
"So arrogant!" Akali inside Aatrox raised an eyebrow. "Then you might be mistaken!"
"Because I am the end of the world!"
The voice just fell.
A large amount of natural energy surged into Aatrox's body like a waterspout.
Akali, you…
Shion stared ahead in shock.
Although she had lost her sight in an accident when she was young, this was the mind control room inside Aatrox's body.
Therefore, she could clearly see Akali gradually changing, first her long hair turning red strand by strand, as if it were filled with flowing magma.
Then two horns, like those of the Darkin, curved and grew from the top of her head. A huge amount of heat continued to enter her body, and Akali's exposed skin turned into the color of red-hot steel!
This isn't the K/DA Prestige Edition skin, but rather a skin I pulled before but never used: Naraku Flame!
The reason Akali didn't use it before was that the changes Akali experienced to her appearance were too drastic, and she wasn't used to them.
Secondly, the Flame of the Abyss is a solution for specific environments. It allows Akali to transform into a fire elemental-like creature and output her internal energy with almost zero delay.
Akali clearly didn't have this need in the previous battles.
But now, we have it!
"boom!"
As Akali entered her Sage Mode and changed her skin to Abyssal Flame, Aatrox outside seemed to be ignited, with high-temperature blood flames burning all around him.
Filled with powerful energy, Aatrox's body began to grow like it was being inflated, doubling in size in the blink of an eye!
Aatrox, who was 400 meters tall, stood in front of the 600-meter-tall clay giant. Although he was still no match for him, he no longer felt the insignificance of a weakling.
Even when compared to the ugly clay giant, the handsome Aatrox looks somewhat like a hero who has come to slay monsters!
But the demons didn't care about any of that!
"Go to hell!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With a wave of his hand, the dense terracotta spears rained down on Aatrox.
Faced with the sharp spear, Aatrox, who was not known for his toughness, quickly developed numerous bloody holes on his body, from which hot, molten blood flowed.
Seeing that Aatrox was finally injured, the demon roused himself and immediately conjured a spear in his hand, thrusting it at Aatrox.
Akali, however, was not intimidated. Battles against giant creatures don't involve many fancy moves; it's all about attack and defense. Her heavy sword slammed into the demon.
The consequence of no one being able to defend themselves was that Aatrox's sword scraped a large chunk of clay off the grotesque terracotta body, and then the grotesque stabbed its spear into Aatrox's chest.
But the next second, something unexpected happened to the demon.
That is, apart from the newly pierced spear, the wounds caused by the previous spears had begun to heal naturally after Aatrox's attack!
Looking at the ground again, he realized that the piece of clay that had been cut off had turned into pure energy and been absorbed by Aatrox!
Akali: Vampire, how do you say vampire, vampire!
[Ding! Emotional value from the demon +9999!]
Taking advantage of the demon's shock and distraction, Akali slammed her sword down again!
This time, the strongest Q3 directly sliced off an entire chunk of clay from the demon's thigh!
"Ahhh!"
"You monster, die!"
The demon, its body being devoured, roared and its attacks became increasingly ferocious!
Under the attack of the demon, Aatrox's wound, which had just recovered, reopened and continued to widen, bleeding profusely!
After the Great Destruction is activated, the body becomes energy, so restoring the body requires energy. The reason why Akali's injuries are not healed is simple: Akali's energy accumulation is not as high as that of Wraith.
Fortunately, Akali isn't a true top laner; she's an assassin, an assassin who can find an opening and kill in one strike.
Scattering her attention, Akali asked Violet, "Where's the weakness you mentioned? I can't see it anywhere."
"Huh?" Ziyuan was taken aback: "You still need a weakness? I thought you were going to devour it directly..."
"..." Ziyuan couldn't continue her foolish words.
Seeing the witch shut up, Akali rolled her eyes in annoyance... No, in her Abyssal Flame form, she didn't have human eyeballs; her eyes were entirely red, so it should be called red eyes.
"You really are... Hurry up and find out our weakness, and finish this quickly, otherwise things might change!"
Akali still remembers Obito's side; how could Obito, who stirred up multiple situations at the same time, only have the trick of summoning demons?
Therefore, Akali has reason to suspect that today will be a group activity, and she needs to save some energy for the guests later.
"Yes, I understand!" Ziyuan nodded quickly, then closed her eyes to sense it.
However, after sensing for a while, Ziyuan opened her eyes again, puzzled.
"I didn't feel anything."
"I don't understand what that means?" Akali asked, dissatisfied.
"I just didn't feel it!" Ziyuan's words were filled with genuine bewilderment.
"Huh?" Akali exclaimed in exasperation.
"Didn't you say that when the demon uses its full power, its weakness will appear?"
Akali questioned, dissatisfied, "But now that Wraith is using his full power, where's your weakness?"
"Theoretically speaking, it is true that when it uses its full strength, its weakness will appear, but I really can't feel any footsteps right now!"
Ziyuan was sweating profusely with anxiety: "Wait a minute, just a minute!"
"You'd better hurry up!" Akali said helplessly, turning her attention back to the Wraith and engaging him in battle with the Darkin Greatsword.
While fighting, Akali was also making plans there.
Given the current situation, Shion is no longer reliable, so the only option is to activate her backup plan.
Fortunately, she had previously created a shadow clone and carried Rhaast out.
A message was sent to the clone.
"My hands are freezing!"
"Pfft!"
Following Akali's orders, the shadow clone pierced Rhaast into Tsukuyomi's body, which was composed of shadows. Tsukuyomi's shadow energy body looked very solid, but it was obviously useless against Rhaast.
As for the Darkin, who are also corrupted by the Void, the ability to absorb external flesh and blood energy is not unique to Aatrox; Rhaast also possesses it.
At this moment, after Rhaast pierced Tsukuyomi's body, Tsukuyomi, who had been unresponsive, began to be extracted by Rhaast.
As Akali had predicted, Tsukuyomi's energy was a perfect match for her nature. Although it couldn't improve the quality of her chakra, her chakra limit, or rather, her mana bar, kept increasing as it was drawn.
Before long, Akali's shadow clones completed their extraction of Tsukuyomi.
After Tsukuyomi comes Susanoo.
As for Amaterasu, Akali has no way to deal with Amaterasu's black flames, so she can only skip it for now.
After absorbing the energy from the corpses of other gods, the shadow clone returned to its original form.
"boom--"
The surging energy flowed into Akali's body through the return of the Shadow Clone.
Perhaps the corpse of Tsukuyomi summoned by the demon still retained some of the moon goddess's power, or perhaps absorbing Tsukuyomi made Akali's perception of shadows clearer.
In short, when the shadow clone returned, Akali not only received the energy, but also sensed some very subtle energy flow from the Wraith.
In Akali's perception, besides the enormous clay body in front of her, there was a thin pipe extending from the clay body, connecting to a certain place.
And Akali also sensed a familiar chakra in that place; it was the chakra of the vanished Naruto.
Akali understood, recalling Naruto's innate destiny as the chosen one.
"You cunning, thick-browed, big-eyed demon, you're quite the expert at playing the 'blind spot' trick!"
It's not that the demon has no weaknesses; it's that it learned from the lich's methods and turned its weak point, the tassel, into something like a life box, placing it outside its body.
Meanwhile, the cunning demon deliberately orchestrated a scene where the tassels of the foot relayed information, making people believe that the tassels still had a will that had not been devoured and was with the demon.
But in fact, the foot tassel was long gone. However, due to the previous scene, neither Akali nor Violet expected that the foot tassel that was devoured was not inside the demon's body.
If Akali hadn't temporarily used the Darkin weapon to devour the god's corpse summoned by the Wraith, she would have truly been fooled by the Wraith.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, today's scene should end with Naruto, the prophesied son, accidentally breaking the Phantom Lord's life box and saving Akali from a bitter battle.
Now that Akali has found the location of the Wraith's Casket, she's no longer interested in getting entangled with it.
Under the bewildered gaze of the demon, Akali suddenly deactivated her Great Destroyer form and switched back to K/DA from her Flame of the Abyss skin.
Then, Akali grabbed Orchid and vanished with a Flying Thunder God technique!
Looking at the spot where Akali disappeared, the demon froze for a moment, then exclaimed, "Oh no!" Realizing something, its expression changed drastically.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
The next instant, Akali and Orchid suddenly appeared in an underground culvert several thousand meters away from the core battlefield!
"Whoa!" Naruto, who was peeking into the cave, was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people.
Only after seeing Akali clearly did Naruto breathe a sigh of relief: "Akali, it's you! You've finally come to pick me up!"
"By the way, what's going on outside? I slipped and fell into the stream and got swept here. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to find a hole that allowed me to climb out!"
Naruto scratched the back of his head and said in a silly manner.
"Don't worry about what's happening outside. What's important right now is what's happening inside. And this isn't just a matter of good luck!"
Seeing Naruto's dumbfounded face, Akali shook her head helplessly: "Alright, come with me, let's go deal with the demon!"
