Chapter 276: Twelfth

At the same time Yuki confronted Undécimo, Yuno raced towards her target at high speed.

Although she didn't understand why Yuki suggested they split up and why she should stay in that place for a few minutes, as working together would increase their chances of success, she didn't question it. Yuki wasn't weak, and Yuno had suspicions from the often ambiguous words Yuki used. It wasn't difficult for her to sense that Undécimo's Diary was special.

Another thing that caught her attention was Yuki's physical abilities. His dexterity and speed had greatly increased, running faster than a racehorse. Buildings passed by so quickly that a smile formed on her face.

She also enjoyed the special black outfit Yuki gave her. If she were still in her torn high school uniform, she would likely end up naked. Fortunately, she wore an Anbu battle suit capable of withstanding her physical abilities and providing some protection.

*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR

Looking ahead, Yuno frowned. The roar of the ice giant brought back her concerns.

She wasn't the only one with superhuman abilities. She witnessed Duodécimo in the sky battling the giant.

(TN: Duodécimo = Twelfth)

Something that should be impossible for a human was now achievable due to Deus's powers.

"Yuki..."

Watching the giant struggle against the space attack, Yuno's face darkened. Her eyes lost their shine, and a murderous aura emanated from her. Simultaneously, she put more strength into her legs.

*ROOOOARRRRR

Roaring forcefully, the ice giant was trapped by that gravity bubble.

Fortunately, its body wasn't made of ordinary ice; otherwise, it would be destroyed by the pressure.

"Hmp... Don't think this can stop me."

Snorting coldly, Yuki (clone) inside the giant quickly made hand signs while enduring the incredible pressure.

[Hyoton: Kōri no ryōiki ]

Suddenly, the temperature dropped, the sky darkened, and snow began to fall.

"Eh?! What's happening?! Why is it so cold?!"

Duodécimo, manipulating the gravity bubble, was startled by the sudden change in weather. But that wasn't all; his body began to crystallize. As the target of the ninjutsu, he was subjected to intense pressure, and the low temperature took a toll on his body. He began to lose control of his gravity bubble, causing the giant inside to roar and struggle to break free.

*Creak...

With this slight distraction, the pressure of the reality bubble dropped. Yuki (Clone) wasted no time and made another set of hand signs.

[Hyoton: Kōri no raion]

*Creak...

Cracking the ground around the gravity bubble, hundreds of crystal lions roared towards their opponent.

*ROOOOARRRRR

"What?! Why are there so many monsters? Well, it doesn't matter; even if my body freezes, justice will prevail."

Although surprised by the abrupt appearance of the small lions, Duodécimo tilted his head before several bubbles appeared in his hands.

"Eat this... Justice strike!"

Launching more of those bubbles, Yuki Clone frowned before mentally commanding his small lions.

They roared and dodged at great speed...

*Bam, Bam

Being smaller and more numerous, Duodécimo couldn't destroy all the ice lions, but he effortlessly destroyed dozens of them.

Those gravity bubbles were more lethal than they seemed. In less than 5 seconds of being trapped, an ice lion would be destroyed.

Fortunately for Yuki Clone, the exoskeleton and armor of the giant ice lion were very resistant; otherwise, it would have been crushed long ago by thousands of tons.

*BOMM

Producing explosions where the bubbles landed, the ice lions climbed the buildings with great agility, trying to gain height to attack Duodécimo. However, Duodécimo was too cunning. Upon hearing hundreds of approaching footsteps, he rose higher into the sky.

"Hmp! Even if you fly higher, it won't save you."

Mocking his feeble attempt, Yuki's Sharingan spun, and a pair of wings grew on the backs of his lions.

"Huh? Eh?!"

Duodécimo, hearing the loud flapping, wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The lions weren't flying blindly; while Duodécimo attacked, they spread out in all directions, surrounding Duodécimo in the sky.

"I've got you!"

[Ninpo: Aisuburasuto]

With his Sharingan spinning, Yuki smiled cruelly. Simultaneously, his lions surrounding Duodécimo in the sky appeared with paper bombs on their bodies and exploded.

*BOMM, BOMM

With dozens of bombs exploding in succession, the dark sky filled with smoke. Duodécimo was unable to escape. Yuki made sure to watch him closely with his Sharingan.

With part of his body crystallized, hindering his movements, unless he teleported, it would be impossible for Duodécimo to run. But after a few seconds, Yuki Clone frowned. After all, the gravity bubble had not yet dissipated, and as the smoke cleared, Yuki saw a shadow...

"Hooooo! That was close! Good try, monsters! But this avenger won't die!"

Making several strange poses in the sky, Duodécimo was revealed, without a scratch, as if all the bombs that exploded in succession never touched his body. Even the ice covering his body disappeared quickly.

Seeing this, Yuki Clone couldn't help but widen his eyes. It would be one thing for Duodécimo to dodge by teleporting, but it was another for him to emerge unscathed from his ninjutsu.

Even the well-trained body of a kage wouldn't emerge unscathed from this technique, let alone a novice fighter, especially a human reinforced.

(This is wrong... Something must be happening.)

Watching Duodécimo strike victory poses, Yuki Clone's face turned cold.

Unfortunately, apart from watching the smoke disperse, Yuki Clone couldn't see anything unusual around Duodécimo. Still, he also refused to believe that his body was strong enough to withstand those explosions. Even if, for some reason, he could, his suit would be burnt.

Moreover, it seemed like the weather didn't affect him at all now, as his body thawed, and the cold wind and snow seemed to have no effect on him.

"Huh?"

However, in the midst of Duodécimo's weird poses, Yuki's Sharingan spun, and something strange happened.

The snow that should accumulate on Duodécimo's body passed through him as if he were just an illusion...

"Interesting... Let's see how many more tricks you have up your sleeve."

With his curiosity piqued, Yuki Clone quickly performed a succession of hand signs while gritting his teeth due to the pressure of the bubble. At the same time, he also sent a mental command to his lions.

*Creak

*ROOOOARRRRR

With more lions emerging from the ground, they roared, and a pair of wings appeared on their backs, flying directly towards Duodécimo.

"Guh? More of them?!"

Stopping his weird dance, Duodécécimo tilted his head and lowered it.

"I guess I have to deal with the mother."

Turning his head towards the giant lion, Duodécimo clenched his fist, increasing the gravity inside the bubble. He wasn't a fool; he knew that if he didn't defeat the giant, these annoying ice monsters would keep appearing, causing more death and destruction.

*Creak....

Several cracks appeared around the giant, and Yuki Clone felt his organs being crushed. However, he continued with his attack. Dozens of lions attacked, using their bodies as a charge against Duodécimo. In response, Duodécimo nervously and hesitantly evaded, this time the lions didn't explode. After all, Duodécimo had survived once; there was no guarantee that it would kill him this time, so Yuki Clone tested him first.

*ROOARR

However, the lions were too numerous for Duodécimo to evade completely. They created openings, and one lion opened its jaws, trying to bite his arm holding his hand....
