- RWWOKS Chapter 221
Golden ripples spread out, and meteors rained down on the target in a frenzied cascade.
Of course, Fang Bo knew better than anyone that such attacks were completely ineffective against the rampaging Yashiro.
A slight obstruction would be enough, as it would allow the following Suna-tetsu barrier technique to deliver the real blow.
Even if the attack didn’t hit directly, it would at least restrict Yashiro’s movements.
Having just finished a battle and unable to use his imitation skills, Fang Bo had no choice but to rely on this method of combat.
Maybe he could try applying the “Deterioration” skill to the target?
The Suna-tetsu spikes created a barrier between the two, and under normal circumstances, Yashiro’s priority would be to eliminate Kagura Chizuru, who posed the greater threat.
However, at this moment, he had already lost all rationality. Without a word, he violently attacked the Suna-tetsu barrier with everything he had.
Seeing the situation taking a turn for the worse, Fang Bo could only resort to his previous tactic, gathering his mental energy to launch an invisible attack against the enemy.
[Your psychic shock dealt 34 damage to Yashiro.]
After entering the Nightmare state, his psychic power had significantly increased. Even the rampaging Yashiro’s body trembled slightly.
The next moment, Kagura Chizuru’s attack arrived just as planned.
A blur of motion appeared, and she used a special technique that only those who wielded the Yata Mirror could perform.
Super Fatal Move: Zero Technique Foundation!
A unique skill capable of sealing one’s energy.
Yashiro, caught off guard, found himself unable to unleash any of his signature moves for a short time.
Just when it seemed like everything was under control, Yashiro unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Kagura Chizuru by the neck.
With a swift move, he performed a Shizen Kaze technique, forcibly switching their positions. The Suna-tetsu wall, instead of being an obstacle, became a tool to restrain Kagura Chizuru.
“Yashiro!” Kagura Chizuru’s anger flared as she launched another lightning-fast counterattack.
She had been holding back, not using her full strength, all because of her teammate’s earlier grave injuries.
She hadn’t wanted to take advantage of his weakened state, but now it seemed she had no choice but to go all out.
The duel of speed was so fast that even Fang Bo, using his Dou Qi perception, could only catch the general idea.
“This isn’t going to work.” He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Who would have thought that Kagura Chizuru would be so indecisive in her nature?
At a time like this, clinging to past bonds was irrelevant. The best course of action was to incapacitate Yashiro as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, both of them might end up being torn apart by those iron claws.
Facing such a high-level threat, Fang Bo knew there was very little he could do. His only option was to assist from the sidelines.
He glanced at the remaining mental energy in his reserves, then steeled his resolve. He decided to try using the Kuro Yami technique, which he had not yet mastered.
This skill was still difficult for him to control. It required a long preparation time and several conditions to be met before it could be activated.
Thankfully, with Kagura Chizuru’s presence, he had at least the chance to try it out.
He formed the seals in the prescribed manner. In an instant, ten points of his mental energy vanished, transforming into an immense curtain of darkness that engulfed the enemy.
Yashiro looked up just in time to witness the terrifying scene.
However, he didn’t fall under the illusionary control as expected. Instead, he spread his arms and let out a series of enraged roars.
It was clear now that the Kuro Yami technique wasn’t able to control Yashiro in his berserk state.
“Is it the influence of Orochi’s blood?” Fang Bo’s heart sank, his gaze darting toward the entrance of the underground training ground.
If things took a turn for the worse, he definitely couldn’t afford to be caught up in it.
Just as he prepared to make his escape, the dark aura surrounding him suddenly surged into the shadow beneath his feet.
[You cast Kuro Yami on Yashiro, and the mental attribute test passes.]
[Test passed: Yashiro is blinded for three seconds.]
“It worked!”
Fang Bo was almost about to laugh, but the tearing sensation in his head made it impossible to find any joy.
After continuous battles, he had nearly exhausted all his energy.
Fortunately, the illusion had landed successfully, or he would have been thinking of ways to escape right now.
The reason behind his success might be tied to the new Legendary trait he had obtained.
This mysterious Nightmare Power seemed to have deep, hidden secrets. If given the chance, Fang Bo thought it might be worth trying to trace its origins and uncover its true nature.
Stumbling to a corner, Fang Bo collapsed and watched Kagura Chizuru’s performance in silence.
Three seconds of blindness wasn’t long—just the blink of an eye for an ordinary person—but it was more than enough for Kagura Chizuru to perform her San Shin Kiki technique.
Once she stopped moving, Yashiro, who had been wild just moments ago, now appeared as docile as a child.
Orochi’s blood still boiled within him, but he had completely lost his ability to move. This was exactly the result Fang Bo had hoped for.
With no external force to help Yashiro recover, the only way to mitigate the damage caused by Kagura Chizuru’s Mushiki technique was to rely on this imperfect solution.
“I hope it works.”
With the sealing function of the Yata Mirror, Yashiro could no longer cause any trouble. He could only stand there, head bowed, completely subdued.
Seeing this, Kagura Chizuru finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She glanced at the weakly seated Fang Bo and asked softly, “Do you need me to treat you?”
“No need.”
Fang Bo had depleted his mental energy, and normal medical methods wouldn’t help at all.
The only way to properly heal him was through Xiao Xiang Lin’s method, but sadly, he couldn’t bring the girl here.
“Staying with Orochimaru might be safer than joining me in this mess.”
Perhaps due to his exhausted state, Fang Bo seemed more reflective than usual.
At some point, combat had become his entire life.
The constant feeling of walking on the edge of a blade was something that would break most people, but for him, it had gradually become second nature.
Sometimes, Fang Bo wondered if he would choose to walk this same path if given the chance to start over.
No matter how many times he asked himself that question, the answer remained the same.
Yes.
Even if the end result wasn’t ideal, he wouldn’t regret the strange journey he had embarked on.
With his mind swirling with thoughts, he unknowingly drifted into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t until he heard faint footsteps that he woke with a start.
“Light footsteps, must be an ordinary person.” Even with his eyes still closed, he could sense it through his sharp hearing.
Before long, the butler from earlier entered, pushing a cart with food.
“Here’s the meal prepared for you, sir.”
Regardless of what was on his mind, the Kagura household’s etiquette was impeccable. They hadn’t forgotten about Fang Bo’s presence.
“Thank you.” He didn’t stand on ceremony. After expending so much energy, he needed to replenish himself with food.
Once he finished eating, he could sleep again. From the looks of it, Yashiro wouldn’t be healed anytime soon.
“The battle in 1997 was truly brutal.” Honestly, Fang Bo really wanted to see the spectacle of the Three Sacred Treasures sealing Orochi in person.
If he could have participated, it would have been quite an experience.
After the cart left, Fang Bo went to the rest area, using hypnosis to force himself back into slumber.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, he “woke up” with a start, silently surveying the eerie surroundings.
Soon, he realized that he was still in a dream state.
In other words, he was currently in a “lucid dream” state, where he could control everything within the dream.
With a mere thought, the elegant and noble Kagura Chizuru appeared before him. However, this time, she was dressed in black stockings, and her traditional shrine maiden robe had transformed into a provocative, thigh-high slit cheongsam.
Obeying his will, Kagura Chizuru began performing a seductive, fiery dance.
Before long, Mai Shiranui joined in, and the two ladies occasionally made some provocative, indescribable gestures.
“This is nice.”
He gently pinched himself but quickly realized he couldn’t feel any pain. This disappointing realization caused Fang Bo to sigh.
When he looked up again, several more familiar figures appeared in front of him.
“Big… brother~~”
Slap!
He swatted away the illusion of Yao Yao with an irritated expression. Fang Bo rolled his eyes and thought, This little girl shouldn’t be trying to join in. This is an adult’s game.
After a moment of indulgence in the scene, Fang Bo suddenly became curious about the origin of this dream.
Nothing appears for no reason, and it must be related to something that had happened recently.
A moment of thought led his focus to the newly acquired Legendary trait.
Only this could be responsible for creating everything in front of him.
What he had initially thought was just an ordinary ability now seemed far more powerful than he had imagined.
“So now the question is, what can I do with this dream?”
Looking at the alluring, twisting Kagura Chizuru before him, Fang Bo couldn’t help but think, This power can’t just be for… this, right?
On second thought, it wasn’t such a bad idea.
Surveying the surroundings, he suddenly felt the urge to try to escape the scene.
However, after attempting to “fly” a short distance, an invisible barrier stopped him.
This barrier was not impenetrable, but Fang Bo’s current abilities were apparently insufficient to break through it.
With no other choice, he returned to his original position.
He commanded Kagura Chizuru to stop her movements and suddenly had an interesting thought. He then tried to make her simulate a move he had seen earlier.
Super Fatal Move: Zero Technique Foundation!
Following his memory, Kagura Chizuru’s illusion perfectly replicated the previous action.
Unfortunately, while the technique appeared perfect in form, it lacked the necessary substance, and the attack had no effect.
However, something unexpected happened.
[The replication progress of “Zero Technique Foundation” has reached 5%.]
“What is this?!” Fang Bo’s eyes widened in surprise.
There was no doubt that the notification came from his Memory Armor. The imitation skill was recording the abilities he had seen before.
However, due to the speed of the action, only 5% of the technique had been recorded in a single attempt.
Feeling exhilarated, Fang Bo continued to experiment with Kagura Chizuru, trying to teach her the importance of her movements.
Soon, the replication progress reached 25%, but at that point, no matter how much he tinkered, he couldn’t seem to go any further.
After thinking for a moment, he realized that the Zero Technique Foundation required the power of the Yata Mirror to be properly performed.
Without that sacred artifact, even Kagura Chizuru couldn’t use the move, meaning he couldn’t replicate it either.
Realizing this, Fang Bo shifted his focus, summoning Kyo Kusanagi—the person he had spent the longest time with.
Flames erupted around him, and the familiar super fatal move was unleashed.
[The replication progress of “Orochi Nagi” has reached 36%.]
Just one use of the move filled a third of the replication bar, indicating that the more familiar Fang Bo was with a skill, the easier it was to replicate.
Soon, the imitation skill was fully charged. Fang Bo immediately decided to break free from the dream state.
As he opened his eyes, he immediately accessed his Memory Armor and found that the “Orochi Nagi” icon now appeared in the list of replicated abilities.
“It worked!” Fang Bo couldn’t suppress his excitement.
The application of this extended ability allowed him to repeatedly use certain skills.
With enough practice, perhaps Fang Bo could eventually master the technique, learning how to release it at will and gain full control over the corresponding ability.
Imitation, after all, was a process of learning.
“Maybe, I can discover some other uses for this ability.”
