Chapter 15: Earth Demon King (Ch 15)

Consciousness receded like the tide, withdrawing from that deep and indescribable mysterious space.
Hokage Moze’s spirit instantly returned to his real body.
Almost at the same moment, the lingering strange chakra invaded his perception range again.
Sticky, ominous, and dead like a plant.
It’s that White Zetsu.
The other party seemed fully aware that he had been exposed.
However, it did not flee. Instead, it hovered about three kilometers away like a precisely measured shadow.
This distance is just right to maintain tracking while avoiding any possibility of direct contact.
It doesn’t come closer, not even a step.
It never goes far away, always like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
This feeling caused Mo Ze’s temple to ache slightly.
Like an invisible ghost, it hovered at the edge of his vision, challenging his patience.
Can’t get rid of it.
Can’t catch.
“It’s really unpleasant.”
“Although I have decided to join the Akatsuki organization, it is better to say hello again, so as not to be treated as a soft persimmon.”
The idea took shape in my mind.
He needs to show strength and draw boundaries.
Moze put his hand into his arms, and the friction of the clothes made a slight sound.
He pulled out a scroll.
The axis of the scroll is cold and the paper is heavy.
This was not the portion he originally wanted to use when he left the Sand Village.
But the sealed object belongs to the same series as the one in the scroll.
Without hesitation, he tore the seal of the scroll.
The scroll was torn open and smoke filled the air.
laugh–
The sealing technique is broken.
Thick white smoke suddenly exploded, rolling and spreading in all directions.
The smoke, carrying the smell of dust and some kind of metallic ore, quickly obscured the view.
A moment later, a huge outline slowly emerged in the center of the smoke.
It is about three meters tall, similar in size to the previous sculpture of the heretic demon statue.
But as it stands there, it brings a heavy, oppressive feeling that far exceeds its size.
It was as if it was not summoned, but broke free from the depths of the earth.
Although it is not big in size, it just stands there, towering above the earth like a mountain. Its body is made up of countless gray-brown ancient rock layers and rusted metals, like a war weapon melted deep in the earth’s crust.
The rugged rock armor was covered with cracks, from which dark red energy flows seeped, like magma surging under a dry riverbed; the densely packed gun barrels on the back were like black fangs piercing the sky, and each muzzle stored earth element shock waves powerful enough to tear apart the mountains.
It can be imagined that once it starts moving, every step will cause the earth’s veins to tremble.
The broken earth and rocks will roll like waves.
The smoke and dust will carry with it the harsh roar of metal friction, resounding throughout the world.
Its head was slightly lowered.
Deep in the crevice of the thick rocks, a single scarlet eye suddenly lit up.
The light was fierce, cold, and contained no emotion.
Wherever his eyes swept, it seemed as if the entire barren wilderness had become an extension of its cold body.
It is not a dead thing.
It is a living mountain of disaster on the brink of rage.
His name is the Earth Demon Beast Magagrant King!
“Go, King Magagurant!”
White Zetsu, hanging far behind Mo Ze, maintained that unpleasant distance.
“Here it comes again.” Bai Jue muttered in his heart, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
A cloud of dust rose up in front of us, neither too big nor too small, just enough to block the view.
That ninja named Moze has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
He had seen many similar tricks along the way, and they were just trying to get rid of him.
Unfortunately, they are all too young.
White Zetsu even yawned. He was a professional at tracking.
However, the next moment, the air seemed to turn into a solid block of lead, smashing down violently.
It’s not just a simple pressure, it’s more like a kind of…field?
The entire barren land seemed to be groaning, making a low resonance, and even the sand underfoot stopped the slightest rolling.
The air became thick and held a suffocating pressure that made even his special plant-like body feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Bai Zetsu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart without warning.
This time…it seems a little different?
He immediately concentrated his mind, trying to penetrate the gradually dispersing smoke and dust to see clearly what had happened inside.
At this moment, a scarlet light appeared in the center of the smoke.
At first it was just a faint spot of light, then it suddenly expanded and turned into a solid cold gaze that “nailed” him accurately.
It’s not as hot as magma, but it feels more terrifying than magma.
Bai Zetsu felt as if he was penetrated and locked from the inside out by some invisible force, and every cell in his body was instinctively screaming “Danger! Run!”.
There was nothing in that look, no anger, no killing intent, only pure, absolute will to crush all obstacles ahead.
“Oh no!”
Alarm bells rang in Bai Zetsu’s mind, the sound was sharp and piercing.
“He’s not trying to get rid of me! He’s going to take action! He’s going to clean up my ‘tail’!”
The thought flashed through my consciousness like a bolt of black lightning.
It was almost an instinctive reaction of his body, and he immediately activated the Mayfly Technique.
Integration into the earth is his fundamental means of survival and escape.
Just go underground…
Before he could finish the thought, he felt like he had hit an invisible wall.
No, not a wall.
It was the earth itself that was rejecting him!
It was as if every grain of sand and every rock under his feet came alive, nailing him to the ground with a brutal and resolute will, refusing him to enter.
How is it possible?! How is it possible that the Mayfly Technique is ineffective?!
Cold sweat instantly soaked Bai Zetsu’s consciousness.
The obstacle lasted only a moment, but it seemed as long as a century.
Just when he was terrified and his mind went blank, the ground began to shake violently.
Boom! Boom!
It was as if an ancient giant beast was crushing the mountains and rivers.
The smoke and dust in front finally dissipated completely, revealing the full appearance of the huge monster.
Its three-meter-tall body brings a terrifying and oppressive feeling that far exceeds its size.
The body is made of gray-brown rock and metal, with numerous gun barrels and dark red energy flowing ominously in the cracks on its surface.
And Moze just sat casually on the monster’s shoulder armor, looking down at him.
King Magagrant took heavy steps, and every step his thick rock limbs took made the earth wail under the heavy burden.
With just a few steps, he crossed the remaining distance and stopped in front of White Zetsu, casting a huge, despairing shadow.
Mo Ze’s face showed no expression. He just spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Bai Ze: “I’ll give you three sentences to convince me why I shouldn’t crush you now.”
