Chapter 187 - 187 (2/2)
Hearing Ryo's call, Korin immediately used her Chakra to wrap his body. The Chakra was gradually condensed into the form of Korin, a prestigious Water Kirin!
”What is this?” Madara's face, which only showed arrogance and pride so far, suddenly showed great surprise for the 1st time since the battle started.
As Korin was condensing, a Water Sphere was forming at the same time. The Water was blended with a peculiar Lightning Chakra, and Black Lightning discolored the sphere.
”[Ranton: Lightning Tide]!” Korin controlled the water sphere smashing it against the Susanoo.
The water sphere crashed against its body, and the Susanoo's muscles began to be corroded, revealing the skeleton underneath.
”Good opportunity!” Ryo's eyes lit up and he condensed an Ice Bow. He quickly condensed an Ice Arrow and shuttled the surrounding Natural Energy madly into the small projectile. At the same time, he used his Mangekyo to enhance the Arrow's attack.
Korin saw Ryo preparing for such a big move, and she immediately increased the power of her Lightning Attack. Her purpose was to contain Madara's Susanoo to gain time for Ryo.
With Korin's destruction, Ryo's Arrow was finally completely filled. As soon as that happened, Ryo release the Chakra string behind the Arrow, sending it directly toward Madara who was behind the Susanoo.
As the Arrow approached, Madara felt a deadly threat from this approaching item.
”Ha!” Madara screamed, forcing the Susanoo out of Korin's lightning shackles, and the blue behemoth formed two extra arms, each holding a Katana.
Madara controlled his arms, adding two other swords, and all 4 arms went down on the upcoming Arrow.
The Ice Arrow's size was insignificant compared to the Giant Katana. However, it power was beyond all expectations.
When the two weapons came into contact with each other, the Ice Arrow directly went through all four blades, piercing a hole into Susanoo's so call absolute defense.
The Arrow went directly through the Susanoo's ribs, hitting Madara directly, and then, Ryo controlled it from a far.
He made it Bloom and Crush immediately, crushing the entirety of Susanoo, along with Madara's body within it.
At that moment, Ryo's Mangekyo spotted a black liquid-like substance dropping from Madara's body, and then disappearing into the ground in the blink of an eye.
However, the substance was moving too fast underground, and Sage Mode could only sense its Chakra, not its exact location.
Its mobility and special Chakra confirmed to Ryo that it was indeed Black Zetsu.
This made Ryo feel relieved, as the amazing ”Madara at his peak” had not appeared yet.
Black Zetsu was obviously aware of Ryo's Teleportation Barrier that Rin carried. It seemed that this made him fear that Ryo was about to disrupt Madara plan. However, he could not directly tell Madara.
Therefore, he had no choice but to try to drag Ryo on his own.
It was no surprise for Ryo that Black Zetsu was able to imitate Madara, and even a Mangekyo Sharingan. After all, the he was Kaguya's 3rd ”son”, and anything could be expected out of him. (Translator note: Nice move from the author, relying on Black Zetsu being so obscure to give him any power he wanted XD)
