Chapter 428: Side Story Part 12: Redaku Arc: Battle Against Umibozu Part-3

"Susanoo!"

A giant silver humanoid construct with a golden bracer and shoulder pads surrounds Izuna. The gigantic Susanoo easily dwarfs Ryui.

"That's… that's…"

The eyes of the Uzu clan members and the Shirodo townsfolk almost pop out of their eye sockets due to surprise.

"The legendary Shinobi!"

No one knew who uttered these words, but soon the cries of the legendary shinobi echoed across the gulf.

Yuri, Akari, and Viktor stare at the giant Susanoo with incredulous gazes. It reminds them of the legendary figure from fifty years ago.

"Perhaps we still…"

They silently witness the battle unfolding in front of their eyes.

Fwoosh… Whoosh….

Ten giant purple orbs with the Mitsudomoe symbol float behind the Susanoo like a halo.

The Susanoo raises its hand towards the sky.

Crackle… crackle….

Purple lightning flickers through the clouds.

'Since I am about to put on a show. Then might as well as put in some effort.'

Izuna's eighth-grader syndrome awakens as purple lightning continues to flicker through the clouds in the sky.

CRACKLE… BZZT… BOOOMM!!

With a thunderous voice, a giant bolt of purple lightning strikes the palm of the Susanoo. The Susanoo clenches its fist and grabs the bolt of lightning in its hand. The lightning bolt morphs into a giant katana.

"Lightning Release: Raiden Shinei,"

Crackle… crackle… Boom…

Multiple bolts of lightning strike down from the sky and incinerate the smaller eel monsters.

The entire Shirodo town watches the battle in amazement.

GYAAAAAAHHH…

The larger eel monster frees itself from the ice prison. They release a powerful scream. Their scream reverberates through the gulf to create a powerful torrent of wind.

"Executioner Slash,"

The Susanoo swings the giant lightning blade and releases a powerful horizontal discharge of lightning. With every swing of his blade, the sound of a thunderclap echoes in the surroundings.

The discharged lighting blade slashes through the torrent of wind and slices through multiple eel monsters.

REEEEEE…

More monster replaces them and charges toward Izuna in a frenzy to overwhelm him.

[I have recovered a little. I will lend you help against these weaker enemies.] Ryui offers her assistance.

"There is no need for that. I alone am enough to handle them all." Izuna denies her request.

'I didn't set up this stage. But the show is mine. How can I allow you to steal my thunder?' Izuna rolls his eyes.

Five of the Shinra Bansho orb from his back floats in front of him. The orbs shimmer with a black hue and merge with the giant blade.

The blade of the lightning katana turns black. Pitch-black Amaterasu flames envelop the blade. The Susanoo wields the katana with both hands and raises it vertically in the air.

"REALITY…"

A storm of chakra gathers on the tip of the blade. The chakra storm quickly diffuses into the blade and increases the intensity of the black flame. The Susanoo swings the blade downward.

"… SLASH!"

BOOOOM…

The slash rips apart the air in the surrounding and cleaves the lightning clouds in the sky to reveal a clear sky. Not only that, the instant the blade touches the ground, a massive surge of pitch-black flames travels straight toward the hoard of creatures. The pitch-black flames envelop a major portion of thousands of sea monsters. The powerful force of the slash creates a vacuum at the mouth of the gulf.

A few seconds later,

BOOOOMMMM…

A deafening sound spreads through the surroundings as the air particles swiftly gather inside the vacuum. Just the physical force behind the attack slices apart a major portion of the water body to create a bottomless rift.

A large pillar of black flames explodes out of the rift and swallows almost ninety percent of the monster hoard.

At this moment, the spectators are lost for words.

"GOD! This must be the power of GOD." Some superstitious folks fall on their knees and bow towards the Susanoo.

Even Yuri and her summon Ryui are left in shock at the majestic power of the Susanoo.

[Yuri… this person… he… he is much more powerful than Lord Kenshiro.] Ryui reveals her thoughts to Yuri with slight hesitation.

"What? That can't be…" Yuri is shocked to hear Ryui's words.

[I can sense it. I can sense the endless storm of energy sealed within his body.] Ryui's eyes glow with a blue light. In her vision, Izuna is surrounded by a massive humanoid monster of energy much bigger than the current Susanoo.

[I can't fathom the depth of his power.] She concludes.

After hearing Ryui's words, Yuri bites her lips. She relays these words to Akari and Viktor.

"We are lucky that such a powerful person is present to prevent the crisis. Perhaps we are reaping the good karma of our ancestors." Akari heaves a sigh of relief.

"After this incident is over, we must offer our gratitude to him in full. He was magnanimous enough to spare us for our earlier offense. He even helped Ojou-san in the crisis." Viktor also shares his thoughts.

Izuna withdraws his katana and summons the gigantic tower shield.

"Yata no Kagami,"

BANG…

He drops down the colossal towering shield in front of his Susanoo. The eyes of the Yaksha on the shield glow brightly with a green hue as numerous inscriptions representing Fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning lights up. An additional two layers of the elemental barrier are erected in front of the tower shield.

"Yata no Kagami: Elemental Ordnance,"

Izuna prepares to intercept the numerous energy beams targeted at him. While his previous attack managed to slaughter the majority of the monsters, the truly powerful ones hid behind the hoard and used the opportunity provided by their weaker counterparts to charge up their most powerful attacks.

Izuna stares at the hundred of beams of energy at the level of a tailed-beast bomb with slight trepidation.

"Even I am not confident of withstanding such a powerful barrage of energy with the bare body of my Susanoo."

He has the option to teleport out from the range of these beams, but that will leave the town behind him vulnerable.

"If it was earlier, then I might not be able to withstand this attack; but after the upgrade to my Yata shield, I am confident enough."

His confidence wasn't baseless. Yata no Kagami is a powerful defensive artifact he found in archives of the Shikkotsu forest. It was one of the artifacts from the traveler's collection. Initially, he thought it was just a slightly durable shield with no other abilities.

However, as he grew more powerful; he came to know of the true abilities of this shield. After his mastery over four elements, he unlocks yet another function of the shield. This shield can absorb the nature energy from the surrounding and can erect an additional elemental barrier to block all sorts of attacks including but not limited to physical, mental, and spiritual. Well, it can't block emotional damage.

However, that's not its only ability. Its real value comes from its other ability: Counter reflect.

Yes, you heard it right. Similar to the ability of a certain protagonist from one of his favorite manga, this shield can reflect a portion of damage to its attacker. The portion of damage reflected is dependent on the durability of the energy barrier, which in turn is dependent on the amount of nature energy stored in the shield and the chakra of the wielder. This can't reflect the damage above the durability of the barrier.

Also, the reflected portion of the damage is also dependent on the number of elemental layers of the shield, which in turn is dependent on the mastery of his elements. Currently, he can only erect a two-layer barrier that surmounts forty percent of the reflected attack. Once he is proficient with all elements and can merge them to create a Kekkei mora, he can exert the shield's power to its limit.

"For now, forty percent reflection is more than enough since these monsters don't have high durability."

During his sea journey, he met various powerful sea creatures. Out of them all, these eel-type monsters have the lowest durability.

Swoosh…

Another transparent blue barrier made of hexagonal energy block coats Izuna's Susanoo. Izuna turns around and notices the raised flippers of Ryui.

[Izuna-dono, I am confident of your strength. Just take this additional protection as my goodwill."

Mm…

Izuna nods at her unrequited action and focuses his attention on the incoming attack.

"Here it comes!"

FWOOOSH…

Multiple powerful charged beams of energy shoot toward Izuna at an incredible pace. Midway through their path, these multi-colored beams merge and create a more powerful and wider black beam of energy.

BOOOM…

The powerful, highly destructive beam of energy lands on the transparent hexagonal barrier.

CRACK…

Within mere seconds, cracks appear on the hexagonal barrier, and the next instant, the barrier shatters and disperses into countless energy fragments.

Ryui's expression crumbles at the sight of her flimsy barrier.

[Such a powerful attack!]

Worry appears on her face.

[If it was me, then I won't be able to survive their combined assault.] She heaves a sigh of relief at Izuna's initial intrusion.
