Chapter 86 August's Battle
Chapter 86 August's Battle
In the training field, August looked at the ninja child opposite him who had received extra attention from Zeref, extended his magic wand, and said to Sasuke, "Unleash all your strongest techniques."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke took a deep breath, his eyes resolute. Knowing that ordinary skirmishes were useless against August, he drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist, and the electricity of Chidori instantly filled the entire blade.
Seeing that Sasuke had made great progress in the transformation of Chidori in such a short time, Orochimaru couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
After unleashing Chidori, Sasuke charged straight toward August, and halfway there, he suddenly pulled out several shuriken with his other hand and threw them at August.
Clever tricks won't get you anywhere.
The magic wand casually blocked the oncoming kunai, and the next moment it collided with Sasuke's Kusanagi sword.
At the moment of impact, Sasuke suddenly increased the power of Chidori, attempting to paralyze August with the electric current of Chidori, even if only for a moment.
However, Chidori's electric current had no effect on August.
Before Sasuke could react, a tremendous force suddenly came from Auguste's magic staff, instantly sending Sasuke flying.
The next moment, Sasuke's body slammed heavily into a tree. A few moments later, the huge tree, as thick as two people could hug, collapsed with a crash. Sasuke coughed up a mouthful of blood, knelt on one knee, and clutched his clothes at his chest.
Looking up at August in the distance, Sasuke's eyes were filled with both excitement and resentment.
August's attack was incredibly powerful, far exceeding his appearance and age.
Wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, Sasuke charged forward again, wielding the Kusanagi Sword.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Having practiced it thousands of times, the Fireball Technique, so familiar to him that it was etched into his very bones, looked incredibly powerful. In the blink of an eye, the scorching fireball hurtled towards August.
Seeing the fireball so close to him, August didn't even blink, raising his magic wand and placing it in front of him.
In an instant, a sea of fire, many times larger than Sasuke's Great Fireball Technique, appeared and engulfed Sasuke's Great Fireball Technique in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, the astonishing sea of fire continued to advance, rushing towards Sasuke in Sasuke's suddenly constricted pupils.
Sasuke quickly retreated, but there were still faint burn marks on his arms and cheeks.
Just as Sasuke finally escaped the sea of fire, Augustus suddenly appeared in front of him.
The magic wand tapped lightly on the ground, and the entire training ground instantly collapsed.
……
A moment later, Mavis walked up to Sasuke, who was lying on the ground covered in wounds, and said with unbearable pain, "Sasuke, you should wait until you're stronger before sparring with August."
Kabuto stepped forward without hesitation. Seeing that Sasuke was covered in wounds but not fatally injured, he silently began to cast the Healing Palm Technique.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
Orochimaru clapped his hands while staring intently at August's body, but a hint of regret crept into his eyes as he considered August's age.
"Truly worthy of being Zeref's strongest mage, I'm truly amazed," Orochimaru laughed.
Looking into Orochimaru's eyes, which were filled with excessive desire, Augustus spoke calmly, "Do you perhaps also wish to fight me?"
As Augustus spoke, his aura continued to rise, and Yakushi, who was healing Sasuke, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed at Kimimaro who was standing silently at the back, and said, "Instead of fighting me, why not spar with this ninja who was modified by Zeref?"
Kimimaro, who was mentioned, paused for a moment, but still walked to the opposite side of August.
August's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Kimimaro, who seemed ready to fight Orochimaru after hearing his words.
Seeing that Augustus did not move, Kimimaro tore off the clothes on his shoulder, and a bone knife slowly emerged from his shoulder.
As Augustus watched Kimimaro's actions, his gaze gradually turned cold.
"As His Majesty's subject, how dare you obey the orders of others?" Auguste's grip on his magic wand tightened slightly.
"Since that's the case, let me teach you a lesson for trampling on His Majesty's tolerance!"
Unlike his previous encounter with Sasuke, Augustus, determined to teach Kimimaro a lesson, showed no mercy.
In an instant, a destructive hurricane and raging flames completely engulfed Kimimaro.
Kabuto swiftly moved Sasuke aside, his hands continuing their healing actions, but his attention was involuntarily drawn to the battle before him.
Orochimaru, the culprit, had a gleam in his eyes. If his bold speculation was true, August's extraordinary strength would be explained.
Although magic and chakra are different, they share one thing in common regarding the characteristics of power: powerful parents are more likely to give birth to children with astonishing power.
Kimimaro, who was engulfed by the hurricane and flames, was unharmed.
At this moment, Kimimaro appeared to be wearing a suit of armor made of white bones, with black patterns wrapped around the originally snow-white bones, making him look even more ominous.
Looking at the patterns on the bones, Augustus spoke in an icy voice: "Having received His Majesty's favor, you still dare to be so presumptuous!"
The magic power enveloped the magic staff in his hand, transforming it into the shape of a longsword, which was then aimed at Kimimaro's bone sword.
……
Sasuke, who was being treated nearby, pushed away Kabuto Yakushi's hand that was using the Healing Palm Technique, propped himself up, and stared intently at the battle between August and Kimimaro.
……
Kimimaro was strong, but he was no match for August.
There was almost no place to stand in the training ground; the bone forest, several meters high, occupied the entire area.
—Except for the circular open space around August.
In front of August, Kimimaro lay sprawled on the ground, blood continuously seeping from beneath him.
Mavis, who was sitting on a branch of a large tree with Zeref, watched the battle end and muttered, "Auguste is really angry. Kimimaro seems to be badly injured..."
"Don't worry, Auguste is very sensible."
After saying that, Jelf jumped down from the tree and used his hand to help Mavis, who had also jumped down, to follow.
The two walked together to August, who had already withdrawn from his evil possession and whose hair and skin color had returned to normal.
Kabuto, the all-around expert who can be deployed anywhere, is currently examining Kimimaro's injuries.
After a moment, he said to Zeref Mavis and Orochimaru, "Kimimaro's injuries are serious, but his life is not in danger; he just needs to rest for a while."
Mavis breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Kabuto Yakushi said.
Having witnessed the course and outcome of the battle, Orochimaru left satisfied, while Kabuto Yakushi helped Kimimaro to recover from his injuries.
At this point, only Zeref, Mavis, August, and Sasuke remained on the scene.
Mavis's gaze fell on Sasuke, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she said, "Sasuke, there's something I want to talk to you about alone..."
Before she could finish speaking, when Sasuke looked over, Mavis suddenly felt a surge of concerns and hesitations in her mind.
As if out of control, Mavis changed her mind again, saying, "Actually, it's nothing, Sasuke, you should go back first."
As soon as the words of change were spoken, Mebius was suddenly stunned, and that long-lost sense of unease resurfaced.
Noticing Mavis's sudden moment of distraction, Jelf, who was standing nearby, also looked over.
