Naruto: System Jinchuriki, Give Me Some Points!

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Giant Eye, Blood Moon, Gold Water



The Giant Eye's main eye "rolled" around, bloodshot, adjusting its field of vision. Unfortunately, the arrows were neither magic nor miracles, so they couldn't be [Decursed]. They simply "thudded" and "splatted" into the Giant Eye, instantly turning it into a pincushion.

The Giant Eye went berserk. Its main eye became engorged and red, and the tentacles that were partially wrapped around it loosened like bandages, coiling madly like venomous snakes, their eye-tipped ends continuously firing terrifying heat rays.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Beams of heat rays crisscrossed the church, sweeping wildly.

Chandeliers, tables, chairs, and pillars were all cut into pieces, with lava-like gouges left everywhere.

As for the Goblins that had surged into the church, they were completely wiped out in an instant.

Becoming mangled corpses!

However, very quickly, the poison smeared on the arrows took effect. The frenzied Giant Eye deflated like a punctured balloon, swaying unsteadily in mid-air before falling to the ground. Its main eye and the eyes on its tentacle tips streamed bloody tears, and the Giant Eye, which had been swollen like a ball, rapidly shriveled.

"Is it dying?"

Naruto casually waved his hand, throwing kunai and shuriken, riddling the Giant Eye like a beehive, delivering the final blow.

[Eliminated a Giant Eye, Experience +700 points]

The dead Giant Eye quickly disappeared, leaving behind a tattered, single-eyed rune.

[Giant Eye's Talent Rune (Severely Incomplete)]

[Quality: Orange]

[Description: Contains the innate power of the Giant Eye race. If all pieces are collected and integrated into oneself, one can gain the Giant Eye race's talent: "Decurse" or "Disintegrate."]

"So it's a racial talent. No wonder I spent half a day trying to learn it without success."

Naruto used his Eye of Appraisal on the incomplete rune, then casually tossed it into his system space.

Talents, like bloodlines, cannot be acquired through learning.

Naruto wasn't too disappointed; he'd just find the Giant Eye's tribe later and collect all the talent runes.

After dealing with the mini-boss guarding the transfer mirror, Naruto went straight to the three-meter-tall transfer mirror.

This mirror was completely nailed to the church room's wall and couldn't be removed immediately.

The oval mirror surface reflected a strange and desolate scene: a crimson land, barren of any vegetation. Not far away, a group of Dark People were performing some kind of sacrificial ritual. Blood filled artificially dug trenches, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures were scattered around.

The most abundant were gold and mithril!

Evidently, the source of the blood and treasure was related to the Goblin.

And the entire complex and intricate sacrificial array was enveloped by a huge, light-purple spherical light shield, which looked very sturdy.

"Goblins truly deserve to die. One must never show any mercy to Goblins."

Naruto clenched his fists internally.

Goblins are only fit to be cannon fodder!

"Perfect, there are still many Goblins left; it even saves me the trouble of using Shadow Clone."

Naruto's mind stirred, and his gaze swept into the distance, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He saw the pitch-black giant dragon blocking the end of the valley—Black Dragon Lord Raphael!

Like a demonic mountain, it lay there.

Even a Tailed Beast wouldn't be much more than this, right?

Naruto felt that, apart from Kurama, all other Tailed Beasts would have to step aside.

"What powerful pressure. Is this a true giant dragon?"

"So the new dungeon [Black Dragon's Heart], which opened after killing the Goblin King, is in the valley behind the transfer mirror."

Naruto waved his hand, sending a large number of Goblins through the transfer mirror to stop the Dark People from continuing the ritual.

At the same time, he still formed hand signs and performed Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

How could Goblins be as reliable as his own Shadow Clones?

"By blood, a moon to illuminate the night; by gold, a shadow to cling to light. The gods whisper, all beings tremble. Great Black Dragon Lord Raphael, please open your eyes, awaken from a thousand years of slumber, and once again reign over this continent!"

The leading Dark Person raised his arms, looked up at the sky, and loudly recited the sacrificial prayer.

However, from his appearance, he was not Lester.

Lester, who had been in charge before, was surprisingly not here.

The slightly congealed blood in the trenches of the barren land began to flow again, emitting a crimson glow that condensed into a crimson moon above.

Under the influence of some secret power, the gold and silver treasures piled within the sacrificial array rapidly melted like snow in spring, refining into scalding molten metal, flowing like scorching lava towards the Black Dragon Monarch at the end of the valley.

"Centuries of planning, so much money and life spent, just to accelerate the awakening of the legendary immortal Black Dragon."

The Dark Person watched everything in the ritual, muttering to himself.

Currently, the sacrifice was proceeding quite smoothly. Once the blood moon hung above the Black Dragon Monarch's head, and the metallic liquid merged into the Black Dragon Monarch's body...

A large amount of gold and mithril could accelerate the Black Dragon Monarch's self-healing, repairing the wounds on its dragon wings and scales, while the blood moon was the key to awakening the Black Dragon Monarch prematurely.

"Aris, why are the Goblins from the underground ruins coming here through the transfer mirror?"

A Dark Person asked, puzzled.

He saw Goblins appearing out of thin air on the open ground not far away, and their numbers were growing.

The transfer mirror was a one-way teleportation. Once they came from the Water Capital's underground ruins, they couldn't go back, because the transfer mirror's main body was in the Water Capital's underground ruins.

To enable two-way teleportation, two transfer mirrors would be needed.

The Dark People clearly didn't have a second transfer mirror. Previously, when moving things, they had just had the Goblins throw the treasures and corpses directly into the transfer mirror, without coming over themselves.

"Human, adventurers, kill, us, run."

The leading Hundred-Battle Goblin held a thick wooden club in one hand and gesticulated wildly with the other, explaining in broken human language.

Of course, these excuses were taught to it by Naruto through the [goblin's crown].

"So that's it. It seems you've been discovered, so the Adventurers' Guild in Water Capital issued a quest, entrusting adventurers to exterminate you in the underground ruins."

"But how strong can adventurers who are willing to take on Goblin extermination quests be? Most are Porcelain-rank newcomers, at most Jade-rank. And this is enough to send you fleeing in disarray?"

"That's right."

"Goblins are still weak, no match for us noble-blooded Dark People."

The other Dark People burst into laughter.

Although they were all non-worshippers and temporarily allied with the Goblins, the Dark People, who prided themselves on being pure-blooded elves, utterly despised Goblins, treating them merely as free tools and livestock.

The Hundred-Battle Goblin pointed at the air not far away, stammering in response: "adventurers, many people, very strong."

"We, scared!"

"Alright, alright, come on in. Stay put and don't disturb the sacrificial ritual."

"As for any human adventurers, even if they chase us to the church, with the Giant Eye guarding the transfer mirror, there won't be any accidents."

In the eyes of the Dark Person named Aris, even if there were Silver-rank Adventurers among the human adventurers, they would be no match for the Giant Eye.

The Giant Eye's [Disintegrate] and [Decurse] were simply not something ordinary adventurers could deal with.

The human adventurers' greatest reliance—magic and miracles—were useless against the Giant Eye.

If they engaged in close-quarters combat, even blue-quality defensive gear couldn't withstand a few attacks from the [Disintegrate] heat ray.

Moreover, the Giant Eye could also float.

For long-range arrow shots, the Giant Eye could also intercept them in mid-air with its heat rays.

Overall, the Giant Eye was even significantly stronger than a troll.

In the original work, Goblin Slayer, along with the Dwarf, Lizard Monk, Elf Archer, Priestess, and others, encountered the Giant Eye in the church.

They were directly routed, nearly wiped out.

If not for Goblin Slayer using a dust explosion to make the Giant Eye blow itself up, a few Silver-rank Adventurers really couldn't have handled the Giant Eye.

"Gold-Grade, Gold-Grade."

"Let us, in, scared."

The Hundred-Battle Goblin knocked on the magical barrier outside the sacrificial array.

The magical barrier was impregnable, not budging an inch.

"Hey, you green-skinned idiots, what are you knocking for? Don't hit the barrier!"

"If you mess up the sacrificial ritual, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

"Forget it, let them in. Just squeeze in for now."

The six Dark People responsible for the magical barrier opened a corner of the hemispherical light shield, allowing the Hundred-Battle Goblin and its companions to enter.

"These Goblins are truly as timid as mice. And Gold-Grade? Would a Gold-Grade Adventurer come running to kill you?"

A Dark Person's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Before his words finished, a sudden change occurred.

The Hundred-Battle Goblin, who had been docile and timid a second ago, instantly turned vicious, its eyes gleaming with malice. It suddenly snatched up a wooden club thicker than an adult's thigh and swept it across, smashing a large dent into the Dark Person's head.

The other Goblins, as if by prior arrangement, simultaneously launched their attacks.

They shrieked and leaped, holding poisoned daggers, stabbing at the nearest Dark People.

"****!"

"Have these green-skinned brats gone mad?!"

"Kill! Kill them!!"

"Quickly, act! The sacrificial ritual cannot be disrupted."

These Dark People were natural assassins, with extremely fast reactions.

Furthermore, they were elites among the Dark People, far from comparable to the old, young, and women of the Hot Spring Village. They immediately counterattacked, either shooting arrows, swinging swords, or casting spells. The low-tier Goblins were no match for them.

However...

The true killing blow was never the Goblins!

The Shadow Clones hidden in the Goblins' shadows moved.

If the Dark People were natural assassins, then they were the top-tier assassins—Shadow Assassins!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Dozens to hundreds of Shadow Clones instantly burst from the shadows, wielding kunai, their figures sharp and swift, brushing past the Dark People.

"Hmph—"

In the flash of an eye, the battle was over. Blood splattered, and all the elite Dark People present had their throats slit and fell to the ground.

"Who are you?"

Aris clutched his neck with both hands, trying to cast healing magic while looking at the many orange figures that had appeared out of thin air in the sacrificial array.

In his eyes, there was fear, anger, unwillingness, and mostly, incomprehension.

When did humans start cooperating with Goblins?

And where did these identical-looking youths come from?

A Shadow Clone looked over at the sound, and upon spotting Aris, it didn't answer his question. Instead, it silently drew a kunai from its left leg ninja tool pouch, preparing to deliver the finishing blow.

Aris was first terrified, then turned frantic, screaming hysterically: "The sacrifice is complete! You will all die!"

"Rumble—"

Just then.

The ground trembled, and an Earth Flow Wall rose not far from the sacrificial array, intercepting the lava-like molten metal.

A few other Shadow Clones performed Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, sweeping up the blood moon and blowing it to the horizon, out of sight.

"..."

"You—you—how is this possible?!"

Aris's initial frenzy instantly turned into shocked helplessness, finally transforming into fear of death.

The meticulously planned sacrificial ritual was destroyed so easily.

Centuries of planning, ruined in an instant!

"Please don't kill—"

"Too much talk!"

With a "thud," the Shadow Clone delivered the final blow.
