[Two-Tails Matatabi has appeared in the suburbs of London. Please proceed to challenge it immediately!]
Britain this time, huh...
Fortunately, Byakuya had visited London before. Upon receiving the System's notification, he immediately opened a spatial portal to London.
The next moment, Byakuya arrived in London.
The suburbs were manageable—lower foot traffic.
However, Byakuya had first arrived in central London since he hadn't visited the suburbs before.
Fortunately, he could sense the chakra fluctuations in the distance. That intense chakra signature was undoubtedly the Two-Tails Matatabi—after all, chakra didn't naturally exist in this world.
Byakuya immediately headed in that direction.
But when he arrived, he witnessed an absurd scene.
Several British people were standing brazenly in front of the Two-Tails Matatabi, looking completely unafraid.
That alone would have been one thing, but they were actually standing in the line of fire—because another group had hunting rifles aimed at the Two-Tails Matatabi...
The Two-Tails Matatabi was roughly as massive as the One-Tail Shukaku—over fifty meters tall.
Its entire body was covered in blue chakra flames, a two-tailed cat demon.
Such a never-before-seen monster suddenly appearing here naturally terrified the nearby humans.
Byakuya could understand those pointing guns at the Two-Tails. But compared to them, the group standing in front of Matatabi with arms spread wide, apparently trying to shield it from the guns—that was harder to comprehend.
Be that as it may, the Two-Tails Matatabi was more gentle and calm compared to the One-Tail Shukaku. If it wasn't attacked, it probably wouldn't actively attack humans either.
So the best course of action for these British people would be to flee as far as possible, not to aim guns at the Two-Tails.
"Get out of the way! The house behind that monster is mine! My wife and daughter are still inside!"
One middle-aged man with a gun shouted angrily.
"No! You can't do this! It's just a slightly large kitty. It won't hurt anyone!"
The group standing in front of the Two-Tails immediately responded.
Now Byakuya understood—so they were animal rights activists...
Meanwhile, the Two-Tails Matatabi was lying there, seemingly with no intention of attacking the humans before it.
Regardless, Byakuya couldn't be bothered with these activists. Using his left eye Kamui, he opened a spatial portal directly in front of the Two-Tails, intending to pull it into the Kamui dimension.
But Matatabi reacted quickly. When it felt space being torn around it, a sense of danger triggered its instincts. The beast that had been calmly lying there suddenly moved like lightning.
Not only did it break free from the spatial portal's pull, it also spotted Byakuya in the distance—because from Matatabi's perspective, Byakuya was the only one with chakra fluctuations.
The Two-Tails Matatabi immediately viewed Byakuya as an enemy, its expression turning fierce as it charged at him.
Seeing Matatabi suddenly leap over their heads, the animal rights activists' legs went weak—they thought it was attacking them.
Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!
Byakuya immediately summoned an enormous wooden dragon with a long hooked nose and spikes covering its entire body. It instantly coiled around the charging Matatabi and sprouted dense trees, binding it so tightly it could barely move.
The Wood Dragon not only had tremendous binding power but also continuously absorbed the chakra of whatever it ensnared.
The Two-Tails Matatabi could feel its chakra rapidly draining, but there was nothing it could do. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free from the Wood Dragon's grip.
Moreover, the spikes covering the Wood Dragon's entire body caused pain to its target as it constricted. The Two-Tails let out agonized cries.
Those animal rights activists instinctively wanted to condemn this behavior, but they had no idea where the massive wooden dragon had come from. They hadn't noticed Byakuya and had no clue that the Wood Dragon was his doing.
After being suppressed by the Wood Dragon Jutsu for some time, the Two-Tails Matatabi gradually lost its ability to resist.
[Ding! Host has defeated "Two-Tails Matatabi." Reward: Summoning Jutsu (Two-Tails Matatabi)!]
The System had already determined that Byakuya had defeated the Two-Tails Matatabi.
Matatabi's figure then disappeared.
Tailed Beasts couldn't actually be killed, since they were essentially special creatures made of materialized chakra. So when the One-Tail Shukaku and now the Two-Tails Matatabi "disappeared" upon defeat, it was simply a "special effect" created by the System.
Byakuya immediately withdrew the Wood Dragon and returned to the Kamui dimension.
...
Inside the Kamui dimension, Byakuya immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to call forth the Two-Tails Matatabi.
The summoned Matatabi was still in its normal form. By comparison, the miniaturized One-Tail Shukaku looked incredibly tiny.
This created an amusing scene of small eyes meeting large ones.
The Two-Tails Matatabi hadn't yet processed the situation—and certainly hadn't expected to suddenly see the One-Tail Shukaku.
"You're... Shukaku?!"
Seeing Shukaku's drastically reduced size, the Two-Tails almost didn't recognize it.
"It's me. Looks like you've also been defeated by Byakuya, Matatabi."
The One-Tail Shukaku quickly understood what was happening.
"I see... I was defeated..."
The Two-Tails Matatabi gradually calmed down. It had thought it was still in battle, but Shukaku's reminder made it realize it had lost.
"But that 'also' you mentioned... Does that mean you were also attacked by that human?"
Matatabi noticed the word "also" in Shukaku's statement.
"Yes. You were probably summoned by him too, then defeated by him. Now you have to obey his commands just like me."
Shukaku briefly explained the situation to Matatabi.
"I have to obey his commands...?"
Matatabi found this hard to believe.
"He's right behind you. If you don't believe me, try attacking him."
Shukaku said casually.
Hearing this, Matatabi immediately turned, intending to attack Byakuya again.
But just like Shukaku before, its body simply wouldn't cooperate.
Its mind wanted to attack Byakuya, but its body strongly refused.
"What's going on?!"
Matatabi exclaimed in shock.
"I already told you. We can't disobey his commands now. We can't even attempt to attack him."
Shukaku said flatly.
"Matatabi, Shukaku has already explained things to you. Simply put, you're now my summoning beast. If possible, please shrink down to around Shukaku's size."
At that moment, Byakuya spoke up.
