Chapter 185: Finally, the Mangekyo
Boom!
A giant purple skeleton punched through the raging water dragon in front of it and then charged at Kyosuke with undiminished momentum.
Helpless, he could only get up and let the giant's attack pass, not choosing to press his advantage.
Inside the purple skeleton, a handsome young man with spiky hair was looking at the rapidly retreating Kyosuke with a grim expression.
This young man was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. To be precise, it was the Sasuke who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Needless to say, Kyosuke was currently in a dungeon, and this was his third time challenging "Mangekyo" Sasuke.
The first two times, although he had fought with all his might, he had ultimately been defeated by Sasuke's Susanoo.
This time, having learned multiple forbidden jutsu, under the pressure of Uchiha Madara, he had once again risked challenging Uchiha Sasuke. If he failed a third time, this dungeon would be permanently closed.
With the "Uchiha"-type dungeons gradually being cleared, Kyosuke could be said to be going all in.
Previously, Kyosuke had taken advantage of Sasuke's habit of showing off his swordsmanship and had seriously injured him right from the start. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Susanoo, he would have likely killed him already.
Even so, he had still left two deep, bone-deep wounds on Sasuke's chest.
"First step of the plan, success. Next..."
Kyosuke's feet were constantly moving around. His actions were to prevent himself from being locked onto by Sasuke's Mangekyo. Otherwise, with a single Amaterasu, he would probably have to activate Sage Mode's trump card to avoid being hit.
Using the Body Flicker Technique to get behind Sasuke, Kyosuke, taking advantage of the moment he turned, formed a hand seal in front of his chest and raised his other hand high above his head.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique."
The dense fog, at an extremely fast speed, enveloped the plain. This was Kyosuke's second step of the plan: to cut off the enemy's powerful perception.
Sasuke, seeing the enemy who had disappeared from his sight, said coldly, "These eyes can see through all mist. You, who do not have the Mangekyo, will not understand its power."
The moment his words fell, the Mangekyo in his left eye narrowed slightly, and blood instantly flowed down.
"Amaterasu."
The ominous black flames accurately found the rapidly moving Kyosuke in the thick fog and instantly ignited his entire body.
However, with a poof, Kyosuke's figure suddenly vanished. The person who had been ignited was none other than his shadow clone.
"What?!" Sasuke had thought he had seen correctly, but the cruel reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Somewhat ashamed and angry, Sasuke constantly scanned his surroundings, trying to find the enemy's location. But after a long time, he still hadn't found Kyosuke's figure.
As time passed, the purple skeleton on Sasuke's body gradually faded. After all, maintaining Susanoo consumed a great deal of chakra and visual prowess. In the absence of the enemy, such consumption was meaningless.
"Lure me to withdraw Susanoo's protection, and then hide in the surroundings to wait for an opportunity to attack?" The battle-hardened Uchiha Sasuke almost instantly understood the enemy's intention.
However, at this time, having just obtained the power of the Mangekyo, he was in a state of extreme self-confidence. So, knowing that this was the enemy's plan, he still exposed himself without any care.
The moment Susanoo had just disappeared, Kyosuke's figure appeared behind him, his Kusanagi sword, with the momentum to cut through everything, slashing down.
"Incredible swordsmanship, but... it's not enough," Sasuke said, turning his head. At the same time, a dazzling flash of lightning erupted from his entire body.
"Chidori Stream."
A numbing sensation came from his body, which made his figure pause for a moment. Although Kyosuke still gritted his teeth and slashed down with his sword, this momentary pause was enough for Sasuke to launch a counterattack.
The purple skeleton reappeared. It blocked the Kusanagi sword almost at the moment it was about to reach his body and, with a single punch, sent Kyosuke flying again.
"Cough, cough." Although Kyosuke's surprise attack had failed, his face was adorned with a smile as if he were the victor.
"Second step, complete."
With that, Kyosuke's body vanished again with a poof. It was another shadow clone.
Sasuke frowned, looking at the scene before him, a bad premonition gradually rising in his heart. He believed that the enemy's actions must have some purpose, but he carefully observed for a while, but still could not find any abnormality.
Just then, he suddenly found that an explosion tag had been attached to the outer shell of Susanoo's skeleton at some point.
Before he could react, Kyosuke's real body finally appeared before him.
With a single slap of his hand in the air, tens of thousands of explosion tags were instantly summoned, and their location of appearance was right around the explosion tag that had been attached to Susanoo.
"Summoning Technique: Tandem Paper Bomb."
The effect of the Tandem Paper Bomb was to be able to use a single explosion tag to infinitely summon trillions of explosion tags and trigger an infinite series of explosions, with a very astonishing power.
As long as an explosion tag was attached, the enemy could not escape this continuous cycle of explosions until death.
Although Kyosuke had not successfully attached the explosion tag to Sasuke's body, attaching it to Susanoo was the same. Without Susanoo, he would not be able to defend against the power of these explosion tags. And if he kept maintaining Susanoo, he would have to face the attack of countless explosion tags. This was the fatal attack that Kyosuke had painstakingly devised.
Not to mention that Sasuke could only use the first stage of Susanoo now. Even if he suddenly used the third stage, which included flesh and blood and the Karasu Tengu armor, he would definitely not be able to block this Tandem Paper Bomb attack.
To this, Kyosuke had immense confidence.
The development of events was just as he had predicted. Although Sasuke had successfully evolved his Susanoo to the second stage in a moment of crisis, it had only delayed his death. In the end, he was still overwhelmed by countless explosion tags.
The system's notification also sounded at just the right time. With a flash of light, Kyosuke vanished from the dungeon.
Sitting on his bed, Kyosuke prayed devoutly for a while, and only then did he open the system and check his harvest for this time.
"Kirin."
"Sharingan: Windmill Triple Blade."
"Sharingan."
"" The item he had been longing for had finally appeared before him, and for a moment, Kyosuke was stunned.
After a long while, he finally recovered. He took out the remaining two "Sharingan" scrolls and, without hesitation, chose to use them.
Instantly, a dark energy, countless times stronger than before, was generated in his mind, madly converging toward his eyes.
Feeling the surging visual prowess in his eyes, Kyosuke first let out a low laugh, and then his laughter grew louder and louder.
"Hehehe, ahahahahaha!!!"
