A few moments ago,
"I sense very dense negative emotions ahead?" Kurama''s grumpy voice rings in Izuna''s ears.
"Kurama! It''s been a while since Ist heard from you. Do you like your new roommate?" Izuna jokes slightly.
"Humph that guy has been sleeping we youst saw him!" Kurama harrumphs at the sleeping figure of Genyr.
"By the way, Izuna, why do I have a nagging feeling that I missed something important? My connection with the outside world was cut off for a while." Kurama rubs his chin with his giant ws.
"Did you capture some delicious prey again? I will forgive you this time, but next time I want a bigger share." Kurama nces at him and closes his eyes.
""
''Looks like Sin locked him out of my meeting with Sage of Six Paths. Well, it''s still too early to meet Sage. For now, I will deal with the issue at the hand.''
"Ok, deal!" Izuna nods and continues to fly towards the Land of Demons.
At the border of the Land of Demons, he notices a group of beaten-up shinobis fighting against a rock demon army cavalry.
''I can sense therge conglomeration of negative chakra up ahead. This must be the ce.''
Shiing
Izuna draws his de and shes at the rock demon cavalry.
"Kenjutsu: Severing sh,"
A giant sword light shes through the demon army and beheads the remaining rock figures.
"Where is Miko?" Izuna asks a worn-out guard.
"Thanks for your help, Izuna-sama. Miko-sama predicted your arrival. She is currently locked in a battle inside the temple." Hanzo grimaces in pain as he replies.
"Alright! You guys recover your injuries. I will handle the rest."
Whoosh
Izuna flickers inside the temple.
Whoosh
A wave of oppressive negative chakra oozes out of the temple.
"There is too much resentment and other negative emotions mixed up in this chakra. I can''t allow it to seep out and corrupt another being. This mass of negative emotions would be a huge tonic for Roen. Too bad he is not here with me. I will try to seal as much as possible as a snack for him."
Izuna aims his only hand at the gate of the temple.
Fwish Fwish
Izuna shoots a couple of ck receivers and makes a hand sign.
"Yin-Yang: Evil Containment Seal,"
A dark purple barrier envelops the entire temple. Afterpleting the barrier, Izuna rushes deeper into the temple.
-------------------
"Now, DIE!"
Mry shes his dark chakra de at Miroku.
''Looks like I still couldn''t change my fate. At least my Shion is safe,'' Miroku closes her in resignation.
BOOM
A dark ck spear shoots out of nowhere and attacks Mry.
"Nani?"
Mry blocks the spear with his chakra de, but the impact of the spear sends him flying into a nearby cavern wall.
"I am notte, am I?"
Izuna hurriedly dashes towards Miroku and supports her. He uses the ''Mystic Palm Technique'' to alleviate her injuries.
"No! you are right on time."
Miroku heaves a sigh of relief and nods at Izuna.
"I will handle the rest."
He ces her down and turns towards Mry.
"Be careful of his chakra. It will slowly corrode your will." Miroku warns him.
"Ok!"
Izuna summons the Kusanagi de and points it in Mry''s direction. The truth-seeking orb returns to his side.
Crack snap
Mry twists his broken arms and legs and snaps them back into ce.
"I smell the foul stench of those parasites. You must be one of their descendants, just like the guy who sealed me a few centuries ago."
"Otsutsuki n?!" Izuna frowns and stares at the ce he struck with the truth-seeking spear.
''No damage! Looks like this demon is immune to the certain kill effect of Six Paths.''
"Time and time again! Either it was those damn parasites or those Astral demons. This time, I won''t allow anyone to ruin our ns. You will be my first prey." Mry swings his des and shes out a dark wave of chakra.
"Negative Release: Annihtion sh,"
[A/N: - Negative release is just a jutsu of negative chakra. I used this term to separate Dark Release and Darkness Release from it. Another point to rify is that dark release uses normal chakra. Darkness release is unique to the Sin book, Izuna, and other rted beings. The negative release is unique to Roen, Zero-tails, Abyssal Nightmares, or other corrupted creatures. In the future, I will use it as such.]
Hmm
Izuna feels a sense of threat from the iing sh, which surprises him.
"This attack has some power ofws mixed within it. It is simr to that floating orb behind you. Don''t get casually hit by it." Genry''s warning sounds in Izuna''s ears.
Whoosh
Izuna flickers away from the attack and avoids the attack.
sh
The sword swing chops out a portion of the roof and hits the barrier. The corrosive power of the sh sizzles the cavern and smoke rise from the barrier.
"You are awake?!" Izuna asks Genyr.
"I was awoken by the early energy surge." Genyr turns towards Mry and frowns.
"Abyssal Dread! This world has an Abyssal Dread!"
???
Question marks pop into Izuna''s mind as he parry''s another attack of Mry with the sword of the truth-seeking ball.
"Isn''t it an Abyssal Nightmare?" He questions.
"Abyssal Dreads are evolved forms of Abyssal Nightmares. There are different types of Abyssal creatures, ranging from bottom barrel crawlers, and lurkers to mid-tier troops like nightmares, headhunters, and soul-eaters to high-tier troops like dread, devourers, and yers. There is also a centurion above them, but I don''t know much about them." Genyr shakes his head.
"How do you know so much about them?" Izuna asks curiously.
"The resources of a middle-size world are even tempting to Abyss. Before the arrival of Otsutsuki, we were invaded by Abyss. Their army consisted of two centurions, 4 dreads, 7 devourers, and 3 yers. However, they pulled back when they faced Otsutsuki. If Otsutsuki likes to parasitize and devour everything and spit out bones, then Abyss just swallows everything without waste." Genyr calmly exins to Izuna.
"This flood dragon is a dread; you must be careful of his corrosive attacks. Light element is quite effective against it."
"Alright! After this battle, tell me more about the Abyssal creatures and their weaknesses. For now, I have a battle to finish."
Izuna turns his attention to Mry who is pissed at Izuna for blocking and dodging his attack.
"Damn rat! Don''t you dare dodge my attack," Mry spouts profanities to vent his hatred and relentlessly attack Izuna.
He raises his left hand and gathers arge amount of negative chakra in his arm.
"Negative Release: Dread mes"
Dark violet mes with burning images of skeletons light up in Mry''s hand.
"Die!"
Mry waves his arm in a circle andunches a spiral of mes at Izuna.
Shiing
Izuna''s eyes change to Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Sin,"
He stretches his hand as the sin seal activates. Several totems crawl over his entire arm and fuse in his right eye. A demonic ck horn sprouts on the right side of his head. Izuna''s voice turns bone-chilling as he spats.
"Darkness Style: Violent Hell me,"
Izuna infuses the sword with dark purple mes and swings at the iing spiral of violet mes.
BOOM
Both mes collide and extinguish each other.
"That form"
Mry''s eyes constrict as he stares at Izuna''s demonic form.
"How did you have this power? How did you possess the power of Astral demons?" Mry roars and attacks him again.
ng
Izuna blocks his swing with his sword and coats his leg with darkness chakra and kicks Mry in the gut, sending him flying.
Bleurgh
Mry spats out violet blood and ms into another wall.
"You must die! No matter what." Mry issues a decree andunches himself at Izuna.
Izuna puts down the sword and converts it into a gauntlet. He channels light chakra through the gauntlet. He clenches his fist and blocks the iing punch.
Sizzle sizzle
Smoke rises from Izuna''s fist as the light chakra incinerates Mry''s arm and the negative chakra corrodes the gauntlet.
Crunch
Izuna clutches Mry''s fist tightly and headbutts him, pounding him on the floor.
"Damn! What a thick skull."
Izuna rubs his sore head.
Roar
Mry roars in anger and riles up his chakra.
Rumble rumble
Rubble falls from the roof as the chakra corrodes everything in its surrounding.
Whoosh
Izuna arrives beside Miroku and shields her with his Susanoo. He stabs a ck receiver on the ground to act as a medium for his Susanoo.
Fwoosh
The chakra storm clears to reveal Mry''s garbed in an armament. His entire body is covered with ck armor made of scales. He holds a long spear in his right hand and a tower shield in his left hand.
"DIE!"
Mry charges at Izuna and hurls his spear.
Whoosh
Time seems to slow down for Izuna as he leans down and avoids the spear.
Bang
With a backflip, he kicks the spear and sends it back at its wielder.
Bang
Mry parries the spear with his shield and rams into Izuna. Izuna clutches his fist as red lightning flickers through his eyes. A cyan cloak envelops him as he punches the shield.
*BOOM*
