Chapter 55: Fighting an Otsutsuki 2/5

As the explosion subsided, a dense haze enveloped the once clear skies, obscuring visibility. The aftermath of the battle left a lingering smell of burnt wood and ice in the air, contributing to the eerie atmosphere. A profound stillness settled over the surroundings, as if time itself had frozen in anticipation.

All eyes were fixated on the crater where Ryushiki had been thrown by the collision. The onlookers wondered if he had survived the devastating blast. However, before they could draw any conclusions, Yukari declared with unwavering determination, "It's not over yet."

Raising her hand towards the darkened sky, Yukari infused the static clouds with lightning chakra. The clouds roiled and churned, transforming into a massive, awe-inspiring phenomenon. From within the darkened skies emerged a colossal blue Qilin, a mythical creature made of pure lightning. Its resonant roars reverberated through the atmosphere, accompanied by brilliant flashes of lightning that illuminated the surroundings.

The ground quaked with each thunderous roar, instilling fear even in the hearts of the bravest beings. Sensing the impending danger, Yukari closed the portals behind her and gracefully descended to the ground. She knew that Ryushiki wouldn't stay down for long and that she had to seize the moment.

Commanding the lightning Qilin with a sweeping gesture, Yukari uttered a single word, "Kirin." The majestic creature responded to her command, channeling its electrifying power. The air crackled with electricity as the Kirin prepared to unleash its devastating attack, ready to strike with unparalleled ferocity.

The Qilin flew straight down to Ryushiki, its body crackling with electricity and its eyes fixed on its target. As it descended, the air around it seemed to vibrate with energy, and the ground shook beneath its mighty hooves. And then, in a blinding flash of light, the Qilin exploded, sending shockwaves rippling through the air and leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.

As the smoke cleared, Yukari could see Ryushiki's figure in the distance. The explosion had left him unrecognizable, his once proud and majestic appearance reduced to a charred and mangled mess. Yukari watched in awe as her creation fulfilled its purpose.

However, as she moved quickly to seal him, she was blocked by Foshiki towering over her with an axe made of chakra swinging at her. In front of Yukari, who dodged, stood Foshiki, who was practically a giant in front of her as she glared at him with hatred. However, she panicked and thought, "Is Tia safe?"

. . .

A few minutes before Foshiki appeared in front of Yukari, he was fighting Tiamat. "Oh, you are a really big guy. You know that," said Tia. She summoned dragon flames from her mouth and shot straight at him. She then began to transform into her dragon form, and all the onlookers were intimidated seeing a huge dragon.

With her majestic form towering over the battlefield, Tiamat unleashed her dragon fire, engulfing Foshiki in a powerful blaze. The force of her attack, amplified by the gusts of wind produced by her mighty wings, struck Foshiki with tremendous impact. He was left injured and reeling from the assault, fully aware of his inferiority in the face of the mighty dragon's power.

Amidst the chaos, the sounds of crackling lightning echoed through the air, capturing Tiamat's attention. Her gaze shifted towards the colossal Kirin that had materialized near Yukari's location. The unfolding events had reached a critical juncture, and the stakes were higher than ever.

However, as Foshiki recognized the imminent danger facing his master, he made a selfless decision. Infusing every last trace of his chakra into himself, he directed his attention towards Ryushiki. "My time has come as your guardian, Ryushiki," he said while placing his hand upon Ryushiki's chest, Foshiki's essence was absorbed into him, causing a whirlpool-like effect.

Ryushiki's body underwent a profound transformation. His eyes now possessed two Sukunahikona each, signifying a significant increase in power. He radiated an overwhelming aura as he floated through the air, his newfound strength comparable to that of a low-level Elder Otsutsuki. The weight of his dominance was palpable, causing all the natives in the vicinity to feel suffocated, unable to withstand his sheer presence.

Before she could react, Yukari witnessed everything that was happening. She was now facing a much stronger opponent. Numerous purple gauntlets attacked Ryshiki as she launched an immediate attack using the Eight Gods Vacuum Attack.

However, Ryushiki's dodging skills were impeccable. He moved fluidly and gracefully, evading each gauntlet with ease. His movements were calculated and precise, making it seem like he anticipated every move before it even occurred.

Even though his opponent was throwing everything she had at him, Ryushiki remained calm and focused, his eyes locked on his enemies' every move. With every dodge, he became more confident in his abilities, and it was clear that he had the upper hand now.

Yukari dashed towards him, using a dead bone pulse to surround her body. Despite Yukari's sudden attack, Ryushiki remained unfazed. He continued to dodge with ease, effortlessly avoiding every strike from her dead bone pulse.

His movements were so swift that it was as if he were dancing around her attacks. Yukari soon realized that she was no match for Ryushiki's hand-to-hand combat skills and decided to retreat before it was too late.

"Fuck, this guy's strength is a major level above mine now. He is toying with me," Yukari thought. She created five clones, and each clone shot out each element with a yang release.

Ryushiki's agility was unmatched as he gracefully evaded the charging earth rhino. He swiftly countered the water serpent's advance with a well-placed kick, sending it back towards Yukari. The fire lion's fiery assault was swiftly nullified as Ryushiki used his shrinking ability to extinguish the flames. The lightning hawk's attack was met with rods summoned by Ryushiki, effectively destroying it. Finally, the wind horse's gallop was no match for Ryushiki's immovable stance, allowing it to pass through him without causing harm.

After witnessing Ryushiki's impressive combat skills, Yukari realized that her previous plan was no longer effective. Her clones distracted him as she retreated to a safe distance to rethink her approach and come up with a new strategy. She realized Shinjustu, infused with yang release, was ineffective against him as his eyes were much more powerful.
