Bloodline Limit - Chapter 519

“And the Dark Death Ball was pure consumption and corrosion. The most terrifying aspect was the corrosion. One aspect was the combination of corrosion and consumption for assistance, followed by the most terrifying instant explosion. The other aspect was pure consumption and corrosion. However, it pushed the power of corrosion and consumption to the extreme, even able to corrode space.

Ryoha’s Dark Release had various characteristics and ways of utilization: concentrating and compressing dark power for an explosion, corrosion of dark power, consumption, and so on. It could be said that each technique had its purpose. Of course, some techniques combined both, utilizing one part as assistance and the other as the main attack. For example, the Black Gaia Force used the corrosion and consumption of dark power for assistance while relying on a terrifying explosion of dark power as the main attack.

The Dark Burst, on the other hand, purely concentrated the dark power to create an instant explosion, achieving the most terrifying and fastest firepower suppression. It developed different techniques using the various characteristics of dark power to deal with all kinds of situations.

Just a Dark Death Ball the size of a Rasengan managed to severely injure, even kill, Gaara in his Eight-Tails transformation. It showed how terrifying the Dark Death Ball was in terms of corrosion and consumption.

“You’re quite resilient. How about another one?” Ryoha formed another Dark Death Ball in his hand and launched it again. A’s face changed drastically. He had faced this move before. If it weren’t for Killer B sacrificing himself and their ninjutsu partially neutralizing the power, he might have died. Even if he survived, he would have lost the ability to resist.

“Lightning Release – Double Lariat.” A couldn’t afford to think too much now. He didn’t even have time to consider how terrifying Ryoha’s technique was. He immediately blocked in front of Killer B.

“Tailed Beast Bomb!” The Two-Tails also followed and, together with the Raikage, released an attack. Unfortunately, their ultimate moves couldn’t stop the pure consumption and corrosion of the Dark Death Ball. They only managed to weaken its speed and power slightly, but it still shot forward unrelentingly.

“Boil Release: Boiling Mist Technique.” Mei exhaled a high-temperature mist, comparing its corrosive power with Ryoha’s Dark Death Ball. However, it gave others an opportunity.

“Sage Art: Frog Call.” Jiraiya gathered natural energy and directly attacked Ryoha. He was gambling, betting on whether the invisible natural energy could evade the perception of the Dark Guard. Unfortunately, this time Jiraiya lost. The Dark Guard was not something Ryoha developed himself; it was a companion technique that accompanied the birth of the Dark Release. Similar to the life Guards accompanying the birth of the Holy Release, as in Tsunade’s case.

Both of them had separately studied their techniques and each other’s techniques. The abilities were equally perfect, using protective Dark Release and Sage Release, respectively. However, they both claimed that their own and the other’s techniques were indeed flawless, making it difficult to find flaws. Perhaps only Ryoha and Tsunade could mutually decipher each other’s Dark Guard or Holy Guard. For others, it was truly perfect.

“Since when did you become so fond of gambling, Jiraiya? Unfortunately, Lady Luck seems not to favor you.” The invisible natural energy turned into a Dark Guard shield and blocked it. A heavy collision sounded in the air beside Ryoha.

“I don’t believe your Dark Guard is really flawless.” Jiraiya gritted his teeth and, like a frog jumping, crossed the distance to Ryoha and arrived in front of him. He immediately used the Sage Art Odama Rasengan and attacked Ryoha, blasting Ryoha, and creating an extremely vast crater where Ryoha stood.”

“It’s unfortunate to tell you that the Dark Guard is truly flawless for you. In fact, any defensive technique is not invincible; they all have their limits. My Dark Guard is no exception. It’s just that this limit is truly difficult for you to reach. To break through this technique, I’ll give you a suggestion: concentrate the strongest techniques at one point and attack, see if you can instantly reach the limit the Dark Guard can withstand.”

Actually, Ryoha didn’t need to say this for the Five Kages to understand. They knew that no matter how exquisite and magical any defensive technique was, in the end, it was for defense. Therefore, the best way to break defense was to pierce it at a point and achieve breaking through the defense of the technique. It’s just that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t reach the limit of the Dark Guard. Therefore, saying it was somewhat futile, and Ryoha knew this, that’s why he intentionally said it this way.

“I feel like facing him is really like facing an indestructible barrier.” Tobi, knowing that one of his eyes was going to be destroyed, sounded extremely ferocious, but it revealed an undisguised helplessness. Compared to Ryoha, his eye power was like heaven and earth. His eye techniques were useless against Ryoha, and as for other techniques like Fire Release, they were inadequate against the Dark Guard. How could Tobi not feel helpless?

In fact, the limit of the Dark Guard was very strong, but the scariest aspect was not the defense limit of the Dark Guard. Instead, it was like a miniature version of a dark world.

Once touched, it would continuously corrode and consume, continuously weakening the power of the enemy’s ninjutsu. Even some weaker ninjutsu would be instantly corroded. Therefore, while the defense of the Dark Guard was extremely strong and hard to break, the scariest part was that it could counterattack while defending. Moreover, Ryoha was no fool. Would he just stand there foolishly and let the enemy attack him? He could counterattack, use techniques to block, and evade.

“At this rate, we will undoubtedly be defeated.” Jiraiya’s face looked very unpleasant. Even when the Five Kages combined their strength with the power of the nine tailed beasts, they couldn’t break through the dark defense. So, what should they do?

It seemed that they must let great toads like Great Toad Sage intervene; otherwise, they truly couldn’t shake Ryoha. Not to mention, there was also Tsunade, whose strength was not inferior to Ryoha’s, and there were many capable individuals around Ryoha. Looking around, the subordinates of the Five Kages had been pushed back steadily. In contrast, Kurenai and Yakumo were playing around and not serious, clearly displaying the gap in strength.

“Great Toad Sage said that he feels like he’s about to come out, but let me tell you, don’t be too happy. If he can come out, it means that other spirit beasts from the era of the Six Paths, just like him, can also come out. If they are in opposition to you, Ryoha, it’s fine. But there may be some troublemakers among them.”

Shima was clearly very concerned about Ryoha’s situation. Therefore, after she returned, she bothered Great Toad Sage every day, and he didn’t even have time to sleep.
