NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 80 - Episode 80: Sai Ninja VS Duke of Demons
Episode 80: Sai Ninja VS Duke of Demons
Duke of Demons, Zaus.
This guy’s power is too unpredictable.
He copied my Afterimage Doppelganger that I mastered over 100 years in an instant!?
A-And, moreover,
*Snap*!!
He broke my Adamantine Katana!?
“I-Impossible!? It d-didn’t cut!?”
“Hmm. Carelessness is a great enemy. Defending takes effort. Energy conservation is the top priority to prepare for the next attack.”
Whaaat!?
Are you saying even defending is too much trouble!?
“Don’t mess around!!”
“No. I’m not messing around. I’m always on full alert. I never let my guard down… Never.”
Grrr!!
Then, I’ll use the next ninja technique!!
“Sai Ninja Technique. Giant Transformation!”
Then, my body enlarged. Its height easily exceeded 10 meters.
“Hahaha! You can’t imitate this technique!”
“Oh… Giant transformation is impossible…”
“Kukuku. This technique is the result of 100 years of training, successfully utilizing the characteristics of the Sai people.”
“Oh… That wasn’t in the main story. Was it a scrapped idea?”
Wha-what are you talking about!?
But still, this guy…
“Amazing…”
“W-Why are you looking at me with sparkling eyes!?”
“Huff… It’s a new technique.”
Clearly, he’s more delighted than frightened!
“But, your stats have increased significantly. Level 30,000… Clearly stronger than Kakugaridan, aren’t you?”
“Hehehe. I’m the leader in the shadows. My abilities far surpass his.”
“Oh. You were manipulating the Sai warrior corps in secret?”
“That’s right. But now that you know this mystery, you know what that means, right?”
“Like, ‘won’t let you leave alive’ kind of thing, huh?”
“Ugh… Th-that’s right.”
My spirits are somewhat off.
“Then, are you going to use the Ultra-Demon Awakening from there?”
Hmm.
That technique is a secret technique bestowed upon Kakugaridan by Idream Dal.
It decreases lifespan to increase the base level fivefold.
However,
“Hmph! Such techniques are evil. Strength is gained through training. While my basic specs were raised through the Ultra-Demon Awakening and level cap breakthrough, true strength is achieved through training.”
“Oh. I like you even more now.”
“Ugh! Y-You have no right to like me! With just this giant transformation, I’ll send you to the afterlife!! One strike, pulverize!!”
Take my giant-sized fist!!
*Bang*!!
Ughh!!
Th-This sensation!!
“What!? You caught it with just one hand!?”
“Are you amplifying your attack within your body? At the moment of attack, your attack power doubles.”
Ughh!
Analyzing calmly, are you!!
Take this, rapid punches!!
“Pulverize!! Pulverize!! Pulverize!!”
I’m stronger!!
Whoaaah!!
*Bang*! *Bang*! *Bang*!
N-No…
He’s blocking everything with just one hand.
Bare-handed attacks won’t work.
Then!
I’ll keep my distance.
“Huh? Are you giving up already?”
“Huff… I’m concentrating my spirit!”
“Arrival, soldier, battle, person, everyone, formation, row, Sai, front!! Fooooooooooo──”
I raised my palms to the sky.
Then, dust and sand around me gathered on my palms.
“Oh… Is it the Grand Meteor of Earth attribute magic?”
“Hehehe… My technique is not so cheap. It’s a gem of a secret technique I mastered after 100 years of training.”
“Another 100 years, huh. I like it.”
“Ugh, shut up.”
“No, well, I do acknowledge your effort.”
“Hmph! You’re being cocky for now. Kukuku.”
The dust and sand formed into a large shuriken.
A giant shuriken with a diameter exceeding 15 meters!
“It’s complete! This is the Sai Daitougekijin Ninja Art!!”
“Ohhh! A technique I don’t know!!”
“Well, of course! This is a secret technique! There’s no way outsiders would know!”
“Hmm. It’s like a variation of Grand Meteor. The design of the shuriken is cool.”
Ugh! He seems excited with sparkling eyes!!
The giant shuriken began to rotate, making a *whoosh* sound.
The surrounding wind surged, and the airflow became turbulent.
“Huh? My body…”
“Hahaha! This is the true threat of the Sai Daitougekijin! The rotating airflow binds the opponent’s body, rendering them unable to move!!”
“Oh… Impressive. Indeed, the airflow is entangling around the body, making it unable to move.”
“Hahaha!! Carelessness is a great enemy!”
Additionally, its flying speed is unbelievably fast.
The rotating attack of the giant shuriken. If it even touches slightly, it would crush bones into dust.
“Take this! Sai Daitougekijin Ninja Art!!”
The shuriken rotated and flew towards Zaus.
Direct hit!!
Phew!!
This is what happens when you’re careless!!
If I were to give advice, it would be to attack while I’m building up power, Sai.
There’s no other way to escape!
Being bound by wind, coupled with super speed in flight.
With these two elements, it becomes a technique that cannot be avoided under any circumstances!
I won!!
Direct hit!!
Whoa…!
Huh?
“Heave-ho…”
“He dodged!!”
Why can he move!?
“Huh? Somehow… When I put a little effort… I might be able to move.”
Whaaat!?
Aaah…
My secret technique…
“Hey, Saizou… What happens to the shuriken that flew away?”
“Those just hit something and disappear, Sai…”
“How far does it fly?”
“W-Well, I don’t know. Maybe 50 kilometers?”
Grrrr!!
But more importantly, the humiliation of being avoided!
Wait a minute!?
This direction!?
“Oh crap!! Sai Ninja Art – Clairvoyance!!”
This ninja technique allows me to see up to 100 kilometers away.
Beyond the shuriken, I saw the place ahead.
“Nuggghh!! There’s a Dwarf village called Kikori Village 30 kilometers ahead!!”
“Hmm. An area I haven’t occupied.”
“Oh crap!! At this rate, innocent comrades will be killed!!”
“Acceleration Boost.”
“Nugggh… F-Forgive me, fellow countrymen. It’s my mistake!!”
I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!
Grrr!!
Wait, huh?
“Zaus… Where did he go?”
Did he run away?
Well, whatever.
More importantly, it’s Kikori Village.
Innocent comrades will be killed because of my mistake.
Ugh. Comrades from the same Demon Army because of my mistake…
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry!!”
Hmm?
A black shadow on the shuriken…
What’s that object…?
A… black cloak!?
No way!?
“It’s Zaus!”
