Chapter 186: The Showman and the Signature Girl
Next to the Dark Man was a huge cloud of black smoke.
The tiny outline of the black smoke moves irregularly like a smoke flutter, but generally maintains the shape of a swollen bat.
And on the head of a swollen bat, there are fiery red three-petaled eyes.
The three-petaled eyes were like a fiery hell, as if they were not really eyes made of flames, but a skylight from hell peering into the human world.
Those who peek into their eyes will also get a glimpse of hell through this skylight.
...
"Who are you?"
Obito held back the surprise in his heart, clenched the katana in his hand, and stared at the dark man in front of him.
And the dark man didn't pay attention to Obito, but looked at the girl named Izumi Uchiha who was lying on the ground, chained.
The Man of Darkness walked slowly, and with each further step, the light around him vanished like a tree had been cut down.
And in this darkness, the swollen bat that dwelled in the darkness next to it also took a step forward.
What was even more surprising was that the Dark Man walked forward without the slightest sound of footsteps, and every step was like stepping on a void called Darkness.
But it is this silent silence that creates a strong sense of oppression for Obito.
This sense of oppression has never been experienced in anyone since Obito became a masked man.
"Let me ask again, who are you?"
Obito's words paused slightly where he shouldn't have stopped, and his right foot took a half-step backward under the pressure of the dark man.
Obito, who is at least a shadow-level ninja, immediately noticed these small movements of his body, but these small movements were not something that Obito could control himself.
Because these actions are made by a guy called Instinct Reaction, and these Instinct Reactions trigger the condition of fear!
The sane part of Obito's brain wasn't sure if he was really afraid of the black man with black skin, black eyes, black hair, and black teeth in front of him, but his body had taken the lead in making decisions in place of reason.
Damn, I have no reason to fear this man.
Obito exhaled lightly, relieving the tension in his heart, but he still didn't dare to attack first.
Powerful ninjas have an intuition when faced with danger, and this intuition cannot say where it comes from, but it is very accurate in many cases.
And now Obito is sure that the person in front of him is a dangerous existence for himself.
In the face of danger, Obito did not dare to act rashly, so he could only continue to observe his actions and analyze his abilities.
What was the darkness around that man?
Why would the darkness move with that person?
Before Obito could come up with a reason, the night demon next to the dark man had already made a move.
It let out a piercing whistling sound, and the fiery red three-petaled eyes in the smoke of its head instantly deepened a few degrees, turning scarlet.
The smoke-like body stretched out to encompass the giant black wings that could be wrapped in it, and it emitted a huge foul smell that could deform the facial features and hit Obito.
The smoke from hell instantly reached Obito's eyes, causing the foul smell that had become stronger due to the closer distance to irritate Obito's nostrils.
But the current situation made it too late for Obito to raise his hand to cover his nostrils, the threat had already arrived, and Obito raised the katana in his hand to slash at the swollen bat's body.
I saw that the blade of the katana slashed into the swollen bat's body without the slightest hindrance, but there was no surprise in Obito's heart.
No, there is no feel of the cut!
Before the thought could be fed back into his body, the Night Demon's giant wings flapped towards Obito's body.
I saw that Obito's body was instantly slapped away, the chain in his left hand was loosened, and his body rolled almost against the ground several times, and then fell heavily on the steps in front of the garrison building.
Feeling his body collide with the solid stone edge of the steps, Obito sighed lowly, felt a trace of sweetness in his throat, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood, but fortunately, Obito endured.
It's painful. [51 ]..
Is it so real?
Ever since Obito mastered the ability to transform into an incorporeal body, Obito has rarely been able to taste this kind of pain from the body.
The last time I tasted such real pain was when I fought against a shinobi who used a special fire escape during a mission to rob the tribute.
And it is this intense and real pain that reminds Obito that neither the dark man nor the night demon in front of him are fake things in the nightmares.
They are real!
"Damn!"
Obito let out a low curse, slowly stood up from the steps that had been smashed out of the humanoid pit, twisting his waist, and the bones in his body emitted a series of crisp clattering sounds.
"You've me off."
"Whoever you are, I'll let you die here!"
Obito throws the katana aside, which means that Obito has to give up the props to disguise his identity and show his real skills to fight the enemy in front of him.
But even so, Obito still doesn't have as much confidence in his heart as he seems on the surface.
When he first saw the dark man and the swollen bat, Obito thought that the dark man was a puppeteer, and the swollen bat next to him was a puppet that used smoke as a trick.
So when the swollen bat rushed over, Obito subconsciously slashed it with a katana.
But when he cut it just now, Obito clearly knew that he hadn't hit anything, and there was no entity in the black smoke.
It was precisely because of this samurai sword slash that Obito exposed his momentary weakness.
Obito can't be virtualized at the moment of attack, otherwise the attack will be meaningless.
This plunges Obito into a cycle of contradictions.
My Void can ignore physical attacks, but I have to Void if I want to attack.
But why is this bat golem able to ignore physical attacks, and attack me while I stick a knife into its body?
Don't...
In a short period of analysis, Obito came to a conclusion that he was completely unwilling to accept but had to accept.
That is, the swollen bat in front of him has the ability to transform into an ethereal body that is above itself, and can launch a physical attack at the same time as the ethereal state.
"How is that possible?"
Just now, after seeing the ability to transform into a void with soil, Izumi Uchiha said "How is it possible".
And now, after seeing the more powerful virtual body of the swollen bat, Obito has said the same "how is it possible".
It's as if the fate of reincarnation is playing a little joke on Obito.
After all, the showman is shown off by a more powerful being.
[Get 4350 shiver points from Uchiha Obito!] 】
Sure of his thoughts, Obito didn't have time to think about it any more, because the swollen bat had already flapped its black wings at him again.
...
On the other side, the chains on Izumi Uchiha's body were still wrapped around her bumpy body, but the masked man who was dragging one end of the chain had been pulled aside by the swollen bat to fight.
Izumi bends her body as much as possible so that her eyes can see behind her.
In the clearing behind Izumi, the masked man and the swollen bat are fighting fiercely.
Still, neither of them can help the other.
I can't tell if it's the swollen bat that keeps passing through the masked man's body, or the masked man who keeps passing through the swollen bat's body, but the two are just passing through each other.
I think I can really beat it.
Izumi was awakened with a glimmer of hope in her heart, just now the masked man was about to kill herself, and the appearance of the swollen bat stopped the masked man.
Although she was also very afraid of this swollen bat, the thought that it might be a bat raised by a "life-saving benefactor" or some kind of ninjutsu was used lowered by Izumi in her heart.
So, Izumi wanted to turn her head to look at the dark man who should still be in front of her, and she was about to say something of thanks.
"Thank you..."
This sentence came to an abrupt end in the middle of speaking, because Izumi turned her head just in time to see the dark man's dark eyes like black onyx in front of her, staring at her closely!
In these eyes, Izumi Uchiha couldn't see the difference between the whites of the eyes and the pupils, because both the whites of the eyes and the pupils were pure black.
This kind of black night with no fingers in sight, the black that was originally so pure should be able to reflect a little faint light, but even the light that should be reflected was swallowed up in these pure black eyes.
"Izumi Uchiha."
The dark man's lips were slightly open, not open enough to speak, but a voice did come from his mouth.
It was a male voice, dark but magnetic, especially in the ears of women, like the whisper of the most beloved in their ears.
The moment she heard this voice, Izumi even had the illusion that it was Uchiha Itachi who was speaking in her ear.
But Izumi immediately retracted her mind, because she clearly saw that the only person standing near her and talking to her was not Uchiha Itachi, but the dark-skinned man in front of her.
The pure black on this man should have allowed him to blend into the dark background behind him, but for some reason, Izumi could see this man's every move.
"You know my name?" Izumi asked tentatively.
The dark man's lips opened slightly, opening them for only a moment before closing them again, but he uttered a long list of words.
"I don't just know your name, I know the names of all the girls, and I even know the past and present of all the girls..."
"And the future."
The dark man's low voice brought a small shock to Izumi's heart, because usually if someone else boasted about himself like this, Izumi would definitely think it was a joke.
But in front of this man, Izumi didn't think it was a low-level joke.
Everything the man says is true!
Izumi held back the horror in her heart, and just as she wanted to continue talking, the dark man spoke first.
"I appreciate your past, Izumi Uchiha."
"Witnessing the death of your parents and the death of your companions makes you stronger..."
"But that's not enough."
"It's not enough."
"Your misery is not equal to your strength."
"Maybe one day, you'll get more power."
"Maybe this day, it's today."
The dark man's lips moved only once, but he uttered a series of subdued words.
Is it ventriloquism?
Izumi Uchiha didn't know what the man in front of her was deliberately selling, but this kind of trick of just opening his mouth and saying a series of words should be ventriloquism.
But why?
Why did a man who used ventriloquism suddenly appear at the Uchiha station at this time?
Just when Izumi Uchiha was still doubting the man's identity, Izumi Uchiha was surprised to find that her surroundings had turned into complete darkness.
It was a dark space with no fingers visible, with no references around it, except for a book calmly suspended in the air.
Izumi instinctively stood up and fumbled forward helplessly with her hands, hoping to touch the only thing that had light in the darkness, the book.
A subtle but creepy strange sound echoed in Izumi's ears, causing Izumi to feel extremely stressed with every step she took forward, afraid that she would touch something that made a strange noise directly in the dark.
Eventually, Izumi finally stood in front of the book.
It is a thick book with an ugly cover, framed with animal-like teeth around the edges, and some kind of cauterized leather in the middle.
In the middle of the cortex, a line of strange alien characters is written.
I don't know why, Izumi's brain can recognize the meaning of this alien text.
The Book of Azathoth!
I don't know who is accusing her, but Izumi Oni reaches out to the top of the book.
A wave of hot air rushed to the palm of Izumi's delicate hand, but Izumi didn't care at all, because at this time, in Izumi's brain, a magnificent picture scroll was running that was far higher than the signal priority of the sensory system.
It was a sun darker than darkness, and around that sun was a planet that harbored an endless abyss.
Izumi wanted to understand the core of the darkness, so she subconsciously reached out to touch it.
The moment Izumi's hand touched the book, Izumi learned the name of the core of the darkness, the sun that was darker than the darkness.
That is the center of the universe, the being who is known as the Lord of all things...
Azathoth, the god of blind foolishness!
[Get 4666 trembling points from Izumi Uchiha!] 】
Suddenly, a double sharp pain in her mind and body brought Izumi's mind back.
Izumi's eyes slowly condensed from the white state to black pupils, and she saw the dark person in front of her again.
At this time, the dark man was crouching in front of Izumi, with a heavy book open in his hands.
On the dim paper were all kinds of forbidden symbols and xenomorphs, and in the corner of the page, there was a drop of blood.
It's as if someone accidentally scratched the pages while flipping the book.
When Izumi looked to the side again, Izumi realized that she didn't know when, the chains on her body had been untied, and her hand was next to the turned page, and there was still blood on the tips of her fingers.
The blood on the page is your own blood!
The dark man slammed the book shut, stood up and looked down at Izumi lying on the ground, his lips moving slightly.
"That's it."
“Now...”
“Your soul... is mine。 ”
