Chapter 24: FINAL BATTLE : Season 1 end
The Dark wing forest which always carried a false tranquil environment had lost its charm,
The reason for this sudden change was none other than Arthur and his Uchiha flame formation.
The forest was glowing with red flames while the towering flames covered 100s of meter of the forest looking extremely intimidating.
"Such a high level barrier, it can even trap a nascent soul level cultivator if used in its full potential! but looks like this much output is your limit, You are full of surprises brat" Moryo face and body was now completely transformed, he no longer looked like the previous Ezra or tom, he now had long white hair and blood shot red eyes staring at Arthur.
Arthur closed his eyes and activated his scarlet sharingan.
"Those eyes...truly fascinating...it gives me the feeling that it can look inside every fibre of my existence" Moryo licked his sword "You lost the moment you looked inside my eyes was it? " Moryo repeated Arthur's phrase "I do doubt that you can put a powerful soul like me into an illusion but the risk isn't worth it I guess, so I will just not look into your eyes then" moryo laughed
Arthur quickly performed hand seals " Fire style: fireball jutsu"
An enormous fireball spanning 10s of meters in radius flew towards moryo but he only chuckled
"Blood arts: Blood scythe! " Blood flew out from moryo's chest and condensed into the form of a crystal red scythe.
*Slash* the scythe easily split the fireball in half
*Booom* the split fireball exploded and vaporized the ground
Seeing his attack countered so easily, Arthur took out his dual cleavers from his inventory and performed one hand seals, "Chidori! "
*Chirp chirp chirp chirp*
he ran chidori through them
"It is meaningless" Moryo looked towards the setting sun
"Just as the night falls, my cultivation will be complete and I will start regaining my original cultivation, you have no hope for victory" Moryo degraded Arthur
"Don't worry, you will die before that! " saying that, Arthur vanished from his spot activating his thunder breathing first form.
The scythe in moryo's hands morphed into 2 daggers and now were glowing with golden light!
*Clang* spark flew every where when there attacks collided
'That is Tom's golden severing wave! ' Arthur bent his neck sideways and dodged a golden beam . He quickly performed body flicker and appeared a few meters back.
*Vsssssh* the beam collided with the fire barrier and instantly got vaporized.
"So even a holy light attribute attack gets instantly vaporized by that crimson barrier.. " The eyes of moryo glowed with greed, "You have some peculiar techniques" moryo laughed "just give up and let me search your memories! "
"You are quite cocky for a weakling, sure you were an emperor realm expert before but now you are barely an innate realm expert." Arthur mocked while he secretly prepared his next jutsu.
"Kekekeke... Fine, I will show you despair then! "
*Whoooooosh* the air around moryo became a lot sharper and his aura constantly grew by leaps and bounds then it finally stopped at 7th level of golden core formation
"What do you say now? " Moryo mocked while a spear made up of black bone emerged from underground and countless blood daggers floated while covering the entire sky.
Seeing that, Arthur tightened his grip around his cleavers, "Thunder breathing: Thunderclap and flash: GODSPEED" Lightning started emerging from within Arthur and he vanished. Leaving a lighting trail behind, he rushed towards Moryo with his dual cleavers in his hands.
"It's not so easy to approach me! " Moryo scoffed and waved his hands. Countless black bones spanning 10s of meters in height emerged from the ground creating protecting wall against Arthur "Now enjoy this! " moryo shouted and the numerous blood daggers started rushing towards Arthur like a bloody rain
"Earth style: Mud wall" Arthur instantly created an earth style wall but it quickly crumbled upon the onslaught of the bloody daggers but still it gave Arthur enough time to substitute himself out of there.
Seeing Arthur survive that, moryo complimented "Impressive! but can you survive against this! " Moryo hit his spear on the ground and casted a spell "Dark forest arises! "
Tons of black bones emerged from the ground and rushed towards Arthur like Hashirama's deep forest emergence but this was still not the end, countless bloody weapons crystalized above Arthur and filled the sky.
"Try dodging this! " moryo mocked Arthur and swept his hand towards the ground, the countless bloody weapons started falling from the sky at an unbelievable speed.
Facing the attacks both from the ground and from the sky, Arthur focused his mind to the utmost and concentrated all his attention into his sharingan and thunder breathing.
*Ding! detected host's full concentrated state, the system has granted the 6th mind skill to help the host concentrate more easily "
Arthur's mind became more clearer and sharper .
The forest of black bones rushed towards Arthur and just before it reached him *ZZZZZZZZZ* cladding himself in lightning, Arthur vanished from his spot
Arthur appeared on the side of a black bone, and climbed it with his chakra covered feet at the speed of lightning while simultaneously deflecting all of the blood weapons falling from the sky with his dual cleavers
The black Forest was like a hungry beast and the black bones were like it's arms, the black bones rushed towards Arthur trying to devour him and the bloody weapons keep falling from the sky,
'It's endless' Arthur thought
Arthur used his sharingan to his full potential, his red eyes were moving with a rapid pace (just like Sauske when he tried to keep track of killer bee's swords) trying to keep track of every weapons and bones that were attacking him from the ground and the sky. He cut the bones and weapons whenever he could and dodge when he couldn't cut through them.
"I will increase their speed a little bit" Moryo laughed and the bloody weapons started glowing with a golden light
*Whoooosh* a golden weapon flew towards Arthur faster than every other weapon
* Clang! * Arthur deflected it with his dagger but was still shocked to see that the weapon was shot at him with hyper sonic speed!
"Let the second wave begin" Moryo snapped his fingers and more black bones emerged from the ground and all of the blood weapons started falling at him in hypersonic speed
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
Arthur could still keep track of their movements with his sharingan and deflected most of the weapons thrown at him but the sheer amount of it overwhelmed Arthur, he was struggling to react properly with his body even with the enhance speed of thunder breathing!
*Clang**Clang**Slash*
A dagger went past Arthur's defense and slightly grazed his chin drawing a thin line of blood.
"Done already? " moryo mocked " Those blood daggers aren't normal daggers, they contain poison that can render any enemy below 7th level of golden realm immobilized within 10 minutes" Moryo looked towards the darkening sky "Not that it matters. After 5 minutes, I will regain my previous cultivation..." Moryo inhaled deeply, feeling exited by his growing power " I will then destroy this continent! "
*Clang* *Clang**Clang* Arthur was still deflecting and parrying the barrages of bloody weapons falling from the sky and the dark forest black bones
'At this rate, I will run out of chakra first before the poison takes effect! ' Arthur was in a dilemma and he racked his entire brain for a solution.
'I am still too slow! ' Arthur thought and during his desperation, an idea struck him!
Channeling blue lightning in his feet, he mixed lightning released with thunder breathing style!
*ZZZZZZZZZZZ* dark blue lightning surrounded Arthur which vaporized the black bones below his feet.
*ZZZZZZZZZZZZ* Arthur vanished along with the sound of thunder and immediately appeared in front of Moryo! Arthur slashed his lightning filled dual cleavers towards Moryo
"Fast! " Moryo muttered and raised his black bone spear to block Arthur's attack
*Booooom* a massive explosion resounded with shockwaves that pulverized the ground below, dark blue lightning crackled across the battle field but surprisingly Moryo's spear didn't even flinched!
"It's useless! look at the sun setting down! within 4 minutes, I will regain my previous cultivation, It's hopeless for you!!! " Moryo shouted and dark aura emerged from his spear which consumed Arthur's lightning, seeing that, Arthur immediately flickered back
but moryo quickly conjured numerous gigantic blood spears and throw it at Arthur.
Arthur easily flickered away from their attack range and instantly appeared beside Moryo, he swung his cleaver crackling with lightning at Moryo's face but his spear easily blocked it
"How futile! " Moryo mocked but Arthur used his second cleaver to press his first cleaver on top and pushed it together with all his might which channelized the lightning to create a stronger cutting power
*ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ* The channelized lightning was too much for the spear to absorb and the spear was slowly getting cut like a laser cuter cutting through metal sheet, sparks flew everywhere and the spear was slowly getting cut in half
"Don't mock me! " Moryo yelled and kicked Arthur's hand with his dark qi empowered legs.
*Flung* one of Arthur's cleaver was flung above his head and seeing that opportunity, Arthur backflipped and kick the cleaver right at Moryo's face kakashi style.
[AN: Just like when kakashi kicked it at Obito's face during their fight]
*Vroom* a black bone spring up from the ground and deflected the cleaver, seeing his attack failed, Arthur immediately used his free hand to instantly weave hand seals "Fire style: Fire ball jutsu! " a huge fire ball was fired at moryo from point blank but another black bone emerged from the ground and easily blocked it!
"Your fire is cold ! Now only 2 minutes remained!" Moryo mocked Arthur and shouted,
Countless blood weapons materialized behind moryo and flew towards Arthur.
Arthur used flicker and immediately got away but right before hitting empty ground, the weapons shone with golden luster and changed their trajectory towards Arthur.
Seeing this, Arthur knew that it was similar to Tom's golden beams which were similar to heat seeking missiles which couldn't be dodged since they always follow their target.
"My fires are cold was it? " Arthur mumbled and immediately performed hand seals "Fire style: Fire ball jutsu! "
"Pointless! you never learn do you" Moryo mocked
A fireball emerged from Arthur's mouth but this time instead of the enormous size, Arthur concentrated his chakra in a small point which immediately raised up the temperature of the fireball many times over, even a small blue flame was present at the centre of the fireball.
*Booom* it immediately collided with the blood weapons and instantly vaporized them while still flying towards Moryo, moryo created multiple black bone walls but all of them were vaporized before the final bone wall stopped it.
*Congratulations to the host for upgrading the fireball jutsu! *
'Only 1 minute remaining before the sun goes down! ' Arthur thought and immediately summoned his cleaver back through his inventory
'System: Use all of my pts to buy multi shadow clone technique, Shiruken Cloning technique and 2 training potions! '
'This will be my final attack' Arthur thought while ingesting both of the training potions, his body burned up with chakra and vigor.
"You have consumed qi replenishing pills huh, but this won't help you win as only less than a minute remains. My victory is inevitable !" Moryo laughed and immediately launched his attack as an enormous Dark forest shining with golden lights which covered half a mile of the forest rushed towards Arthur.
Seeing the attack rushing towards him, Arthur immediately picked up his dual cleaver and channelled huge amount of chakra in his blades and mouth.
"Fire style: Fire ball jutsu! " a scorching fireball with blue flames in the middle rushed towards the golden dark forest, lightning channeled through Arthur's blades and his entire body as he Slashed his blade uncountable times towards the fireball like a lightning net!
"Combination jutsu: Heavenly casting net! " The lightning and the fire combined into a blue fireball that was crackling with lightning at its core
The two attacks collided, the golden lights and blue flames collided, struggling to overpower the other like a dbz beam struggle but soon the blue flames overwhelmed the golden lights. For a moment the entire red barrier became blue in color,
The quiet night was filled with cracking noises and soon the barrier started cracking and an enormous explosion happened which vaporized everything in its paths for a 5 mile radius.
"Haaaaah... haaaah" Arthur was kneeling on the ground panting, he was clearly out of strength and stamina whereas Moryo was still standing even though half of his face and abdomen was pulverized.
"It's my victory... only 10 seconds remain until the sun set" Moryo looked towards the sky and saw the last rays of sunlight slowly disappearing into the horizon as the land was slowly consumed by the darkness signifying the rise of moryo in this continent.
*Puff* Arthur who was kneeling suddenly vanished into white smokes as another Arthur jumped out from the ground below moryo's feet and slashed at his neck!
Moryo barely dodged it at the last moment but his ear was still cut off by Arthur's clone!
"You bastard! " Moryo yelled and lunge at Arthur, Arthur also lunged at him while lightning crackled across his body
*Clang**Clang**Clang*
Arthur's cleavers and moryo's spear collided hundreds of time in a mere second while releasing multiple sparks and lightning
"Only 7 seconds remaining! " Moryo smiled viciously
*Grab* a hand suddenly grabbed moryo's ankle from underground sealing his movements and another Arthur jumped out of the ground besides moryo with his lightning covered cleavers,
The 2 were of course shadow clones which Arthur hid during the big explosion and now, due to Shiruken shadow clone jutsu, they were holding his weapons too!
*Slash! * Both Arthur and his shadow clone slashed at Moryo who due to his thousands of years of experience,at the crucial moment, sacrificed his right arm for his life.
*Slash! * Moryo twisted his body in such a way that both Arthur and his clone missed his neck but they still cut of his right arm
"We missed! " Arthur exclaimed
*Dark mist: evernight! * Darkness oozed from Moryo and almost instantaneously covered his body creating like a smoke bomb
"Don't let him run away! " Arthur shouted to his clone
"Kekekeke! Only 5 seconds remain!!! " a voice sounded from the darkness
Arthur activated his sharingan and lightning style thunder breathing to his maximum capacity and the final third shadow clone also sprung up from the ground
It was now or never
All three of Arthur charged at moryo with their lightning cleaver while moryo desperately used his every attack to delay Arthur
Uncountable numbers of dark bones sprung up from the ground and uncountable amounts of blood weapon fall on Arthur and his shadow clones but they quickly dodge them and were rushing towards moryo
"Damn you! " Moryo shouted in desperation because if he died before regaining his previous powers than it will be truly over for him!
*Clang**Clang**Clang*
Moryo desperately defended the onslaught of Arthur and his clones attacks with his remaining arm
*Clang**Clang**Clang*snap*
Moryo's spear snapped in half so he started fighting using the broken pieces of the spear
(4 seconds remaining)
*Clang**Clang**Clang**shattered "
The pieces turned into dust so he conjured a blood sword
(3 seconds remaining)
*Clang**Clang**Clang
The blood sword also broke into countless fragments and now moryo was weaponless so he used his final arm imbued with dark qi as a defence
(2 second remaining)
*Clang**Clang**Clang* *slash*
Arthur cut moryo's arm off and his 2 clone hold him down for the final blow
(1 second remaining)
*Stab! *
*spurt*
Arthur stabbed moryo and impaled his heart ending the battle but moryo smiled?!
(0 second remaining)
The night was already upon them!
"Ugh" Arthur grunted as something invisible grabbed arthur by his throat and lift him up
"To think a mere brat will give me this much trouble" the aura of moryo changed and his power was increasing at such a rapid rate that even Arthur wasn't even able to comprehend Moryo's presence!
"But it's alright now" *Plunge* moryo plunge a crimson sword through Arthur's heart "My power is finally returning back to me"
*Vomit* Arthur vomited a mouthful of blood and his blood started dripping from his impaled heart
'Shit I am about to loss my consciousness! ' Arthur thought while his strength constantly slip through him.
"You are quite the warrior young men" moryo complimented
"After I am done with you, I will annihilate this continent and use it as my furnace to increase my power! " Moryo laughed
" As a gift for amusing me, I will let you unite with Ezra after I am done refining you! " Moryo smiled eerily
"That poor fool Ezra, he cried so much when he remembered how I kill his brother and how his very brother's soul was being refined into nourishment for the body he was residing in! "
Moryo laughed maniacally but this sentence caused Arthur's rage to shoot through to new heights.
"He basically gave up on himself but after meeting you, he was full of hope that you will kill me! kekekeke! " Moryo laughed while insulting both Ezra and Arthur, Arthur's eyes became red shot with hatred and rage
"He was trying so desperately to cling into his soul while being refined so that he can atleast warn you about me! "
"He thought that you were like his brother and desperately struggled to save you. He was even praying in his heart for your life! What a pathetic insect! " Moryo kept on insulting Ezra, revealing Ezra's final thoughts and prayers while looking into Arthur's eyes, anger boiled inside Arthur which completely turned into pure hatred, his sharingan spun wildly and he casted a final genjutsu onto moryo.
Moryo blank out for a second and summoning every ounce of his strength, Arthur threw his cleavers at Moryo's neck but moryo suddenly caught it!
"So that's your visual powers too! quite intriguing, looks like I will be taking your eyes after I kill you! " saying this, Moryo plunged another crimson sword inside Arthur's heart.
Arthur stopped moving.
"It's over" saying so, Moryo stretched his hands towards Arthur's eyes but he phased through them!?
"What? " Moryo shouted in suprise and the crimson blades fell into the ground as if it was never plunged into Arthur!
Moryo looked into Arthur's eyes and Arthur's eyes were glowing with a completely different pattern than before!
"Not good! " Moryo jumped back and when he looked at Arthur's direction, he wasn't there!
Moryo asked in nervousness "Where has he g-"
"I am right behind you" a spiral appeared behind moryo and a different voice interrupted him!
Moryo tried to run away but he was too slow as a hand covered in black lightning chopped off his neck!
[AN: Kamui lightning! ]
"Ugh! " Moryo's head and body were severed but due to his impressive cultivation realm that was still increasing towards his full power, his sever head started regenerating the entire body!
"You aren't dying that easily! " Arthur thundered with pure blood lust which caused shivers down moryo's entire body!
"System! how can i eradicate his entire existence! " Arthur asked and soon found a suitable skill
Arthur grabbed Moryo by the neck who had almost regenerated his entire body and spoke in a chilling voice "Soul eradication touch! "
*Nooooooooooo! * Moryo bellowed and after a while, his entire soul was eradicated along with his body leaving nothing behind
"Haaah.... Haaah.. Haaaah" Arthur's vision was blacking out as he had exhausted all of his chakra, he was dying.
*Ding! detected a fatal injury on the host, initiating recovery! *
