Only I Know the Plot of the Anime World - Chapter 81
With deep blue tattoos etched on his body, Akaza’s blood-red nails descended, seemingly about to tear Fang Bo’s face apart.
The look in Fang Bo’s eyes annoyed Akaza, so he started by killing him first.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku reacted swiftly. As the enemy approached, he swung his Nichirin blade, slashing upwards with a surge of flames.
Flame Breathing Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun!
Before Akaza could retreat, two shurikens whistled through the air, colliding and driving one deeply into the demon’s shoulder.
A minor explosion followed, blowing a bowl-sized hole in Akaza’s shoulder. Blood flowed down his arm, but before it could hit the ground, the wound had already healed.
“What terrifying regenerative abilities.” Rengoku felt a sinking feeling, understanding the enemy’s difficulty.
No wonder so many were called to fight. Despite the battle just beginning, Rengoku could foresee the outcome of their duel.
Unless they could prolong the fight until dawn, his chances of defeating Akaza were less than thirty percent.
“A tough opponent.” Dailin’s expression grew solemn.
The two-tomoe Sharingan could see the enemy’s movements, but it was doubtful his body could keep up.
Akaza’s agility had to exceed 20 points, whereas Dailin was likely far behind.
Even with powerful techniques like the Great Fireball Jutsu, they were useless if they couldn’t hit.
He pulled out a poisoned kunai, lowering his stance, eyes filled with determination.
If the agile ninja felt this burdened, Fang Bo had even fewer chances, with his speed barely surpassing an average person’s.
Besides controlling puppets, his role seemed limited to taking potshots from the shadows.
“To defeat him, we must address two issues.”
“First, reduce Akaza’s speed.”
“Second, suppress his terrifying regeneration.”
He stopped Jorogumo from acting, signaling her to be patient.
No matter how you look at it, the main fighters are the Flame Hashira and the approaching Insect Hashira.
While Jorogumo had control abilities, they had to time their skills perfectly, or it would be a wasted opportunity.
“Dailin, let’s support the Flame Hashira.”
“Got it.”
As the two discussed, the other two powerhouses had reached a standstill. No matter the cost, Rengoku would never join Muzan’s ranks.
Seeing persuasion was futile, Akaza decided to show Rengoku the difference between them.
“Understand your insignificance! Technique Development!”
Akaza activated his Blood Demon Art, and a twelve-sided snowflake formation appeared beneath him.
Destructive Death: Compass Needle!
This technique allowed Akaza to sense his opponent’s fighting spirit.
During its duration, his attack and evasion would significantly increase. The stronger the opponent’s fighting spirit, the faster the Compass Needle reacted, making him stronger against stronger foes.
With this, Akaza became the true Martial Demon.
“Kill!”
Akaza unleashed his full speed, giving his opponent no room to evade.
The first met blade, Akaza’s superior martial arts, keeps Rengoku under relentless pressure.
“Damn, this guy’s agility must be at least 30 points.” As an agility-based reincarnator, Dailin’s judgment was spot on.
A 30+ agility meant they couldn’t engage directly. Their bodies couldn’t react quickly, even if they sensed his moves.
But not acting wasn’t an option. Rengoku wouldn’t last long in such an intense battle.
They had to intervene to prevent their trump card from exhausting themselves.
Bang!
A bullet whistled toward Akaza. With decent perception, Fang Bo barely anticipated his next move.
However, Akaza dodged effortlessly, casting a disdainful glance at Fang Bo.
This alone showed that Upper Moon Three wasn’t fighting at full strength, still holding back significantly.
For Rengoku Kyojuro to win one-on-one, he’d need to unlock his mark and the Transparent World.
But currently, Rengoku lacked such abilities, making it inevitable he’d be suppressed.
Flame Breathing Third Form: Blazing Universe!
A downward slash roared angrily, but Akaza’s agility allowed him to evade easily.
Suddenly, Rengoku swiftly retreated, eyes locking on something above.
There, using spider silk to catapult into the air, Dailin completed his ninjutsu hand signs.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Unlike Flame Breathing, this was pure elemental damage.
The former focused on slashing, while the latter aimed to incinerate, resulting in significant temperature differences.
Dailin timed it perfectly, betting Akaza would dodge Rengoku’s slash. Akaza was good.
“Feel the burn, monster.” Dailin’s words enraged Akaza.
Proud as ever, Akaza confronted the fireball head-on, shattering it with his attacks.
Destructive Death: Air Type!
Fists struck the air, creating shockwaves that collided with the fireball.
The first wave didn’t work, but the second, third, and fourth punches followed.
By the fifth punch, the fireball disintegrated, leaving Dailin bleeding in mid-air.
Annoyed by the interference, Akaza decided to eliminate Dailin immediately.
He unleashed a barrage of punches, aiming to kill the ninja on the spot.
But Rengoku intercepted, jumping into the air and forming a defensive ring of swirling flames.
Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!
“Kyojuro…” Akaza’s eyes shone with admiration, genuinely liking his opponent.
But fondness wouldn’t stop him from fighting seriously. If Rengoku refused to join, he’d have to kill him tonight.
Suddenly, Akaza sensed something, his face twisting into a mocking grin.
While dealing with the two, the gun-wielding guy approached him.
Planning to cut off my head?
“Of course not.” Fang Bo ignored the incoming kick, placing his hand on Akaza’s body.
Wither!
[Target affected by Tendon Rupture, movement speed reduced by 80%, lasting 10 seconds.]
The ninja’s ambush and Rengoku’s defense were all for this moment.
The goal was to create an opportunity for Fang Bo to approach.
First, cripple his speed, then maybe they could decapitate him.
“What?!” Akaza’s expression changed, realizing he had underestimated his opponent.
An 80% speed reduction turned even the fastest into a slowpoke. Ten seconds were enough to decide the battle.
Moreover, Fang Bo’s assault wasn’t over. He coughed blood from Akaza’s kick while Jorogumo webbed the slowed demon.
Tiny spiders converged, biting into Akaza.
[Jorogumo’s skill, Devouring Bite, inflicted 33 piercing damage.]
[Spider Mark triggered, inflicting four additional damage.]
Though the stun didn’t work as expected, the real danger lay in Jorogumo’s venomous needles.
[Jorogumo’s Venom Needle inflicted 21 piercing damage.]
[Target poisoned, receiving one poison damage per second for 5 seconds.]
[Venom Sack activated, preventing self-healing.]
One, two, three attacks…
Under Fang Bo’s command, Jorogumo ignored the counterattacks, enduring Akaza’s blows to keep attacking.
This was a critical moment. Fang Bo injected himself with a powerful adrenaline shot (Constitution +5) and rushed to place his hand on Jorogumo.
“Heal!”
The 50 health boost was instantly transferred to the shikigami, extending her durability by a second.
Bang!
Akaza punched through Jorogumo’s chest, triggering her return to the Onmyoji world, unavailable for 12 hours.
Before departing, Jorogumo inflicted significant damage, extending the debuff duration to 25 seconds.
Even if some time were wasted, Akaza wouldn’t heal for 15 seconds, enough to finish him off.
If they accumulated enough damage, they could kill him without decapitation.
Knowing they couldn’t miss this chance, Rengoku immediately followed up, stabbing Akaza.
Flame Breathing Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!
The sword slash resembled a fiery tiger, tearing off Akaza’s left arm.
Blood sprayed, and Akaza’s face lost its arrogance, finally tasting fear.
“Damn it, I’ll kill you all today!”
Countering, he unleashed rapid, fierce kicks, blindingly fast even to Dailin’s Sharingan.
Destructive Death: Leg Type: Annihilation Light!
Rengoku Kyojuro’s body bled profusely but remained unyielding.
“Demon, today you’ll pay for the lives you’ve taken!”
Flame Breathing Ninth Form: Rengoku!
Fire seemed to come alive on his body, and his fighting spirit shook Akaza.
Final Form: Rengoku!
Knowing his life was at stake, Akaza used his most robust technique.
Destructive Death: Final Form: Annihilation!
