"No wonder Uchiha Rope Tree's Wood Release Susanoo is several times stronger than mine."
Uchiha Madara quickly processed the shock brought by the orb.
Even the weakest Earth Release Wall, if embedded with a few more orbs, could probably reach the strength of Susanoo.
Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a smile, but it was a bitter one.
The more he witnessed,
the more he realized the terror and power of the Reincarnation Game, like an invisible giant hand effortlessly crushing his pride and confidence.
Uchiha Madara asked, "Rope Tree, is your Susanoo also embedded with orbs?"
Rope Tree nodded, then shook his head, saying, "That's right, compared to other skills, Susanoo has higher initial attributes, making it very suitable for embedding orbs for focused development."
"So, I embedded a Vitality Orb into Susanoo and enhanced it to purple grade."
Orb enhancement
refers to the process of merging several low-quality orbs to create a high-quality one.
With five white orbs, you can attempt to channel the energy from the other four orbs into one, and that counts as enhancement completion.
A white orb that has absorbed the energy of five paths will be enhanced to green.
Of course, following the Reincarnation Game's usual pattern, if the enhancement fails, the four orbs used as materials will be simultaneously destroyed, resulting in a total loss.
Rope Tree's purple Vitality Orb was enhanced all the way from a green orb.
"Vitality?"
Uchiha Madara asked in confusion, "Susanoo shouldn't have that kind of attribute, right?"
Susanoo's defense and attack power were both very strong, but he had never heard of it needing vitality enhancement.
Rope Tree smiled mysteriously and said, "It's my personal habit…"
"When I'm in combat, if I'm surrounded, I don't want my skills to be guessed by the enemy."
A Susanoo embedded with a Vitality Orb is more like a Wood Release giant; it would be repaired by powerful vitality the moment it sustained damage.
Uchiha Madara was speechless.
He could tell Uchiha Rope Tree was talking nonsense; the real reason for embedding a Vitality Orb was actually because the two wisteria whip weapons in Susanoo's hands could apply Wood Release effects.
"It seems Uchiha Rope Tree doesn't completely trust me yet."
"As one of the few members of my clan left in the Ninja World, he cannot be like this. If there's an opportunity, I need to take Uchiha Rope Tree to the Naka River, to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan."
If Rope Tree heard Uchiha Madara's thoughts, he would definitely find it very presumptuous.
I am the sole heir of the Senju Clan,
and you want me to acknowledge the Uchiha Clan? How presumptuous is that?
But in Uchiha Madara's eyes, it was absolutely reasonable. Who told you, Rope Tree, that you have a Sharingan, and it's even the highest-grade Mangekyo?
You have a Sharingan, and you still say you're not from the Uchiha Clan?
"Let's continue."
Uchiha Madara was impatient. He controlled Susanoo and began to sweep through the Axe Destroyers in the Dark Corridor.
Rope Tree and Tanjiro were also continuously hunting.
Soon,
the trio's hunting activities attracted a troop of Destroyers.
Fifteen Axe Destroyers, nine Sword Destroyers, and at the head, a Flame Destroyer whose entire body was engulfed in blazing flames.
Each swing of its red blade could summon a violent pillar of fire, like a volcanic eruption.
Boom!
The Flame Destroyer continuously and rapidly swung its red blade, and four streams of fire shot up into the sky, colliding with each other.
Scattered fiery debris rained down,
and two Susanoo rose. The fiery streams landed on the Chakra-condensed armor, only emitting a faint sizzling sound.
They failed to burn through or penetrate the armor.
Tanjiro clasped his hands in a seal, and a brilliant blue light appeared behind him, forming a fluttering blue robe.
He lowered his head and bent his waist, raising his right arm high,
as if gripping a flowing robe, and waved it towards the Destroyer army.
Rumble.
The blue robe flew out, rapidly expanding during its flight, becoming large enough to cover all the Pollution Monsters, including the Flame Destroyer.
The Flame Destroyer swung its sword, but the flames could not burn the robe.
This was Tanjiro's strongest skill, [Sleeve Dimension Lv.37].
Not to mention elite-level monsters like the Flame Destroyer, even a leader-level one would find it extremely difficult to tear through the blue light robe.
"Now's our chance."
Rope Tree, with perfect coordination, charged forward. Two wisteria whips rained down like a storm, shattering the restrained Destroyers.
Uchiha Madara was a beat slower but also killed several Axe Destroyers.
By the time Tanjiro's powerful control skill ended,
the Flame Destroyer hadn't even dropped its helmet. It still tightly gripped its red blade and charged towards the trio.
Fire Slash.
The red blade sliced through the air, and shaking flame sword energy shot out in a ring.
Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was already embedded with orbs that enhanced its defense, but it was still cut open with a huge gash by the flame sword energy.
"Uncle Ban, be careful. The Flame Destroyer's flames are energy attacks."
Watching Uchiha Madara take the Flame Destroyer's slash head-on, Rope Tree quickly called out a warning.
Energy attack?
Uchiha Madara quickly understood; it was like the difference between taijutsu and Ninja Art. So, he twisted his body, skillfully dodging the Flame Destroyer's continuous thrusts, then slashed its neck with both swords.
Gurgle.
The helmet fell off, revealing an empty, headless armor.
Rope Tree's green wisteria whip pierced like a spear, shattering the Flame Destroyer's red leg armor, causing it to wobble and fall to the ground.
Uchiha Madara pressed his advantage, landing two more slashes, completely killing the Flame Destroyer.
Purple light shone.
This Flame Destroyer dropped a rare purple treasure chest.
A drop!
Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and Tanjiro also quickly came over.
According to their contributions in this battle, Tanjiro had priority in choosing the spoils.
After opening the purple treasure chest, inside was another orb.
"Our luck is really good today."
The orb was entirely red, like burning amber, definitely a top-grade fire attribute.
Tanjiro excitedly gripped the orb.
He cultivated fire-style swordsmanship and fire-style Dao Arts, so whether it was embedded into a skill or equipment, it would be a huge boost for him.
But after observing the orb's attributes, Tanjiro's expression stiffened.
It was indeed fire attribute,
but it wasn't an offensive orb. Instead, like the orb Uncle Ban had opened earlier, it was a defensive one.
Uncle Ban's was a purely physical defense orb, while this entirely red one was a fire resistance orb.
It could increase fire resistance by 400 points.
For a Dao Martial Artist like Tanjiro, it was of very little use.
Uchiha Madara suddenly spoke, "Can you give it to me? I'm willing to give up a portion of the later rewards."
"Uncle Ban, a skill or a piece of equipment has a maximum of three orb slots."
Rope Tree patiently explained, "That means you can only embed three orbs of different attributes."
"Not many players cultivate the Susanoo skill, but it's generally been concluded that the best orb embedding combination is [Attack], [Defense], [Speed] to maximize the power of the Susanoo skill."
"If you embed orbs haphazardly, it's easy for the skill to become useless."
He was quite afraid that Uncle Ban would mess things up and ruin the skill.
Unless one was willing to buy a drop of the River of Oblivion Water to reset the skill to Lv.1 and re-cultivate it, otherwise, there was no way to remedy the consequences of incorrect embedding.
But re-cultivating would consume an astronomical amount of time, effort, and assets.
"My Susanoo doesn't need to be strong in other aspects, it just needs its defense maxed out."
Uchiha Madara didn't know why, but he was particularly fond of [Defense Orbs].
Ever since his resurrection, he had always felt a chill in his lower back, a constant sense of insecurity.
Therefore, he instinctively wanted to make Susanoo's defense even stronger.
Not only physical defense had to be strong, but energy resistance and elemental resistance also had to be raised to the strongest!
