章 23: Chapter 23 "final challenge"

Akashi managed to pass the first test without many problems, but it seems that his performance uncomfortable to several in the cave.

Orochimaru could not understand anything, since at no time did he feel any fluctuation of the chakra.

But the Sage of the Serpent could understand something, but he had much more doubts than answers.

The Sage of the Serpent was an expert when it came to spiritual energy, but what he felt was absurdly pure, as if it were an unattainable dimension, but this was not the time for questions, so he continued with the test.

"Congratulations, that was entertaining, so let's continue, I'll give you 5 minutes of rest before continuing the second test " ( The Sage of the Serpent)

Akashi sat on the ground to regulate his breathing, according to Orochimaru, he will have to fight against a giant snake , but in his situation, he would not be surprised if they were two.

While Akashi rested, Orochimaru was keen to dissect Akashi to find out his secrets, but his experience told him that Akashi's strength was not simple, so he decided to discover Akashi's secrets slowly.

..................... ..

"Manda, Garaga, the first to devour that boy will win, the other will be without food for a year"

The words of the Sage of the Serpent, were quite persuasive, since two enormous serpents emerged from the cave with an enormous thirst for blood.

* GHHHHAAAAAAAAAA *

Akashi had to back away immediately by dodging a huge snake, but the coordination between the two snakes was pretty good , since the other had expected Akashi to do that.

Akashi did not know how smart those snakes would be, but he would have to find out sooner or later.

The grip on Akashi's sword increased, while his entire arm had a slight change in color.

A great beam attacked the snake that was red.

* BAAM *

"It seems that this will be quite difficult," said Akashi, after seeing how that snake used his body to protect his head.

Akashi inflicted a lot of damage, but not being in a vital area, Akashi will be left without strength before killing a snake.

"I guess it would be impolite if I did not take them seriously " ( Akashi)

Although Manda and Garaga are competing, they saw the terrible attack that Akashi can make , so they decided to wear it first, and then it would be a struggle to see who wins.

"Third door , open " ( Akashi)

Akashi's speed had a great momentum, Akashi wanted to kill a snake immediately, but his plans would be somewhat harder to complete.

Both snakes began to use their colossal bodies to hide their heads , but this did not stop them from attacking, as their tails fell like whips against Akashi.

"Damn" Akashi had to lose if this turned into a resistance fight, but this situation prevented him from attacking Akashi, he could only dodge the attacks of the snakes while he counterattacked with attacks that did not damage the absurd vitality of those snakes.

.....................

This encounter lasted for 10 minutes, Akashi breathing was very erratic, and he could no longer keep the third door open, so his speed visibly decreased.

* BAM *

In a second of carelessness, a giant tail whipped Akashi, throwing him against the wall, while his body was broken on several sides.

The two snakes had a small agreement, but did not wait for Akashi to get tired so quickly, and after receiving that attack, he could see the damage to Akashi's body.

"It's mine" the scarlet snake named Garaga was the first to react, staying in food for a year was a very bad joke, so he would not waste this opportunity.

Manda reacted a little slower, he could only curse Akashi for being so weak, so he could only resign himself to advance his hibernation.

Garaga rarely ate fresh food , so they would not miss this opportunity.

"Really an annoying test" when Garaga's mouth was a few meters away from Akashi, he opened his eyes with great murderous intent.

"Try to eat this" Akashi forced his battered body, while a blue ray shot against the open mouth of Garaga.

* ZAAAAAGGGG *

It was a clean blow, ending Garaga's life in an instant.

Orochimaru began to respect Akashi a little, especially for making such a risky move.

The Sage of the Serpent had a big smile, rarely something funny happens in his cave, so this kind of events were the few things that amused him, and Garaga's death did not matter to him , since that meant he was very weak , so the sage of the serpent continued watching the battle.

..................... ..

Manda was a bit surprised , but he still had the confidence to defeat Akashi, especially when it was evident that his body was very hurt.

But before Manda could continue his siege, a pink fire began to surround Akashi's body.

Akashi had several methods, and while he still has Rukh, then no injury can stop him, so everything was done as the glide.

"Let's start with the second round" Akashi was still quite tired, but against just one snake, then it was a totally different matter.

........................

"i'm give up" ( Manda)

Manda's entire body was completely wounded, and the amount of blood he lost was gigantic, and although he will be punished for surrendering, that was better than dying.

Akashi breathed a sigh of relief, as he caught his breath, he was also close to his limit, but he still had one last hidden card, but since there was still a test, Akashi would not be fool enough to prove all his out.

"Human congratulations, your fight was really fun, although I would have preferred some more blood, but I'll let it go this time, so tell me, do you want to start with the next test ? "(Sage of the Serpent)

At this point it would be foolish to turn around, so Akashi no doubt.

"I want to start with the next test " ( Akashi)

The Sage of the White Serpent was still on his throne, but when he heard Akashi's response, his head began to stretch, until he reached the front of Akashi, where he injected his poison directly into Akashi's body.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Akashi clenched his teeth immediately, since his entire body felt like a sea of flame, he could feel how each organ was surrounded by a hellish feeling.

"Human, from this point you have only two options, or you can control my poison, which contains a very pure amount of natural energy , or you can surrender and die, everything will depend on your talent to master the spiritual energy, otherwise you will only become my next sandwich "

Akashi barely heard what the great serpent said, so he tries to control the new energy that was flowing through his veins, but Akashi felt like three energies in his body repelled , increasing the pain in Akashi's body.

With a glance, the Sage of the White Serpent noticed that Akashi's body was assimilating the natural energy at an extremely slow speed, making it impossible for him to survive, since no human can go beyond two hours after injecting his poison.

"Orochimaru, I do not want to waste time, my children are hungry, that brat will not make it"

Orochimaru remained calm, since whatever happens, will give him interesting facts.

"Quiet, I really want to see how long that child will last, when I die I want some samples, and the rest will be yours " ( Orochimaru)

That was a small agreement that had already been made between the two, so the sage of the white serpent did not refute.

Orochimaru would have a perfect specimen if Akashi dies, but if Akashi lives, then Orochimaru will get very valuable information for his experiments, so he will win yes or yes.

..........................

Orochimaru knew the time limit for Akashi assimilates energy was just a few hours, so at this point Orochimaru is waiting just Akashi die.

2 hours passed very quickly, and Akashi did not stop writhing in pain while suppressing his cries of agony.

The sage of the White Serpent could only blame the terrible talent that Akashi had, since he could not control the energy in the time limit.

Akashi had shown him a rather interesting show, not to mention that there were several things that caught the attention of the sage.

Orochimaru and the Sage of the Serpent kept waiting, but the more they waited, their faces had different reactions.

It had been 5 hours, and Akashi was not giving up, he was still writhing as he tried to understand the natural energy that was in his body.

At the head of the Sage of the snake a rather eccentric thought passed, as he could see how the poison that he injected into Akashi's body was very slowly suppressed.

"With the speed with which it goes, that human would need 5 days to counteract my poison, only a complete lunatic with a sickly thirst for power could last that time without breaking, since most will want to die in that kind of situation, really you brought someone interesting Orochimaru "

Orochimaru did not answer, since this went against all his expectations , he always thought that talent was a fundamental factor in order to obtain great power.

So Orochimaru also thought that Akashi was an interesting boy.
