Chapter 66: Chapter 66: All Out War Against Tepes Faction (Finale)
|3rd POV|
The fight starts with a bang. Three toads jump toward the abomination in front of them with their weapon in hand. While standing on Gamabunta's head, Vale looks at the others and says.
"Take care of the others! I will kill these abominations!"
His guardians and allies nod their heads before dashing toward the castle. With his allies and guardians taking care of the others, Vale can focus on the fight in front of him. He stays on top of Gamabunta as the toad boss jumps at the biggest undead with his tanto in hand. He dodges a barrage of attacks coming at him as he swings his tanto at the abomination.
"Tch. This will be hard."
Gamabunta grumbles as he sees the undead regenerate after getting cut by his tanto.
"Gamabunta! Gamaken! Gamahiro! Throw those undead away to the east! We can go all out there!"
The toad trio nod their heads and slam the undead with all their strength to throw them away. Gamabunta takes two, and the other takes one each. The undead fall to the ground, and Vale uses this chance to attack.
"Gamabunta! I need oil!"
As Gamabunta jumps into the air, Vale clenches his right hand and puts it in front of his mouth. Vale takes a deep breath and releases a torrent of fire from his mouth. At the same time, Gamabunta releases a torrent of oil at the abomination.
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet"
The two forces meet and create a bigger and more powerful attack. A torrent of fire washes over the undead and burns the forest around it. Gamabunta lands on the ground and waits for the dust to disappear.
However, he immediately raises his hand to block two attacks coming at him. The two undead are in bad shape, but they are regenerating. Vale widens his eyes when he sees all the screaming faces on their bodies open their eyes, and suddenly, seventy magic circles appear above them.
"Shit!"
Vale gathers his Sky Flame and claps. A second later, all the magic circles disappear, and the faces on the undead bodies close their eyes. However, that action takes a lot out of Vale.
"We must kill these things before they use that magic again!"
"Do you think it is easy?! Those things use some corrupted natural energy to regenerate! We need to use Pure Senjutsu to beat them."
Vale nods and says.
"Can you handle them for a few seconds? I will summon Fukusaku and Shima."
"Don't take too long."
Vale takes a deep breath and gathers a lot of chakra from his body before slamming his palm on top of Gamabunta.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A second later, two toads appear on his shoulder. They are smaller and older than the first toad, but they are more powerful than those three.
"A new summoner? Also, is that Gamabunta?"
Fukasaku looks around in confusion, but before he or his wife can say more, Vale says.
"Sorry to interrupt you, Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima! I need your power. Can you absorb natural energy and enchant our jutsu to kill those abominations?"
The two toads look at the undead and snarl. Shima looks at Vale and says,
"We will help. However, you need to be the one doing that. Don't worry. We will help you for now. It looks like you already know the basics. That should be enough. We will amplify your senjutsu. It is not Sage Mode, but it should be enough for now."
"She is right. We will hold them for now. You gather as much as you can."
Vale nods and takes a meditative stance to absorb the natural energy. He already learned Senjutsu from Yasaka and combined it with the knowledge from Jiraiya; Vale can absorb the natural energy safely and knows when to stop.
It takes him five minutes to let him be able to coat his attack with Senjutsu. After he is done, he summons the Sword of Damocles and activates his power of Maiden. The air around them starts to get cold, and Vale waves his hand when he sees the screaming faces on the undead's body open their eyes once again.
Hundreds of ice spikes hit all the incoming beams of light from the magic circles above the undead—each of the spikes is coated with Sky Flames and Senjutsu. They are strong enough to punch through the incoming attack and hit the magic circle, destroying them one by one.
"Boyyo! What is this power?!"
Vale looks to the side and sees Fukasaku land on his right shoulder.
"What kind of power do you give to us?"
"The power over gravity. You guys are members of my clan and can use the power of gravity from now on. Use that power and help me deal with these abominations."
"Hah! I will take this as payment for summoning us for the first time! Ma! It is time!"
Shima lands on his left shoulder and nods her head.
"Let's do this, Pa!"
The two toads slap their hands together, and Vale can feel his body getting stronger as natural energy flows through it. It is powerful and wild at the same time.
"We can only maintain it for ten minutes. Use it well."
"It is long enough, Ma! Pa!"
Without him knowing, Fukasaku and Shima look at him in surprise because they can feel a familiar feeling coming from him. However, the two of them put it away for now.
Vale jumps high in the air and uses the full power of his Silver Aura. A second later, the giant undead fall to the ground from the heavy gravity around them. The Sword of Damocles shines with power, providing the power Vale needs to hold the undead down.
"Pa! Ma! I need wind and oil!"
Without asking for his reasoning, the two of them take a deep breath and release a torrent of wind and oil from their mouths. At the same time, Vale releases a massive torrent of fire from his mouth.
"Sage Art: Goemon"
Their combination attack creates a massive wave of oil that burns with such intense heat that it burns anything in its path. Vale watches as all but one undead turns into ashes from that attack, and to finish the fight, he raises his hand to create a massive Rasengan.
"Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!"
Vale throws his body at the last standing undead, and his attack hits his target. His attack grinds the undead into nothingness. When he is done, he gasps for air as he spends eighty percent of his chakra so far.
"Your chakra is almost empty. You need to rest. We will go back to Mount Myōboku for now. When you are done with this, call us back and explain what kind of world this is."
Vale nods and says.
"I will."
After he says that, a massive smoke explodes, and all the toads disappear. Vale takes a few deep breaths before running through the forest and to the castle in the distance. After a minute of running, he arrives to see the entire castle gone and Yasaka in her true form.
"Ah, the Lord of the Millefiore Family is here."
Vale sees a man with silver hair and silver eyes floating in the sky with Marius on his shoulder.
"I must admit, you are stronger than any human I have ever encountered. To reach a level of Ultimate Being is something very impressive. However, you are still far away from beating me, human."
Vale snarls and releases a torrent of Sky Flame and massive ice spikes toward him. However, before they can hit him, he snaps his finger and creates a massive magic circle that eats the attack. His Sky Flame fights the magic circle, but eventually, it gets defeated.
"Hmmm… As expected. You are an enigma, Valerian Millefiore. I am eager to dissect your body, but it can happen later. This is it for now. See you soon."
Before Vale can release another attack, the man disappears with Marius with him.
