His body remained human-like, but his exterior was shrouded in a layer of darkness.
It was a boundless darkness, as black as a bottomless abyss.
The only part of his body not black were those eyes, like lava at the bottom of a cave, burning with a strange divine light.
Hakushi and his two companions couldn't help but gasp for air, feeling suddenly relieved, their foreheads unbeknownst to them covered in sweat as they cautiously focused on the pitch-black humanoid sitting on the stone chair.
"Impressive, to be able to look directly at my dark side without losing consciousness, as humans, you are indeed quite excellent."
The pitch-black humanoid on the stone chair was generous with his praise, commending the three of them.
Even though there was a distance of a hundred meters, the voice still rang clearly in their ears.
Then, the pitch-black humanoid turned his gaze, sweeping toward the Mire Witch standing there motionless.
"You've found three very capable helpers, Mire."
The Mire Witch nodded calmly, "If it weren't the case, I wouldn't have brought them to such a dangerous place. The world has been through several Ninja Realm wars, and the darkness that has arisen from them has expanded your power to a level I can hardly control anymore."
The pitch-black humanoid sighed, as if reminiscing about something.
"It's always like this, why bear with humanity? As a witch, because of the foolish Ninja Sect, you were forced to forsake the happiness that should belong to humanity. High above as you are, you're really just a little girl longing for a normal human life. But such a life was stripped away with the spread of the Ninja Sect, depriving humans of the right to live as they should, abandoning emotions and desires. Why don't you resent these ninjas of the Ninja Sect? Why not join me in destroying this already rotten world?"
The Mire Witch's gaze remained unmoved, implicitly conveying that their paths were different.
"I see, no matter the generation, witches are always so pure, so stubbornly endearing."
The pitch-black entity sighed and slowly rose from the chair, his fiery red gaze continuing to regard Mire.
"However, this time I want to end your tragic fate. Just like your predecessors, become a part of my body—this is the ultimate fate of you witches."
After finishing, in the cave illuminated by lava, the darkness on the pitch-black humanoid suddenly began to shake uneasily, more precisely, it seemed to want to break free from some constraint.
Mire did not try to stop it at this moment.
In fact, she had no way to stop the current situation.
The Ninja Realm has gone through several wars, and the large amount of negative energy created within it had already been completely devoured by the pitch-black entity, its power surpassing the past.
On the contrary, her own power, diminished by childbirth, left the situation extremely unfavorable.
"Not going to stop it? Fine, since you're so compliant with destiny, next I'll just need to sweep away a few human insects to fulfill my millennia-old desire. Witness the great might of darkness!"
As if chanting, beneath the stone chair, a white circular barrier jutsu suddenly lit up.
A holy aura enveloped the spirit of the dark entity, instantly causing the pitch-black humanoid form he maintained to emit a terribly painful cry.
Yet amidst the agonizing cries, the entity still expressed a sense of joy.
It can be done!
After absorbing the dark power generated from several Ninja Realm wars, he can completely break the seal himself!
Thus, the more painful this holy light made his soul, the more acutely he sensed how weak this holy power was.
Nothing more than a last-ditch struggle of a spent force.
A fierce and frenzied joy burst ceaselessly from the depths of his heart.
Darkness began expanding its domain, the holy white light instantly turning into a sinister purple, then the purple light started invading the dark shadow.
The sinister glow spread wantonly throughout the cave.
As the shadows completely engulfed the barrier, the pitch-black humanoid began to twist, unable to maintain a human form. freeweɓnovel.cøm
A grotesque and enormous monstrous shadow was projected onto the heat-steaming cave walls.
A tail as black as a giant snake slashed down from the sky.
The ground maintaining the sealing barrier instantly turned to dust, becoming invisible to the naked eye.
Then, the enormous shadow turned into a torrent of darkness, rushing swiftly towards the magma below.
Invisible ripples centered on the magma, casting a scorching blood-red beam into the sky.
This blood-red beam began spreading in all directions, forming a massive blood-red ring, completely enveloping the mountain range.
The mountain began to creak and tear, large boulders crashing down from above.
"YAAAAAAAAAAA——"
The monster's roar pierced the eardrums, the ancient creature bathed in the brilliance of the magma, thoroughly awakened.
Countless pitch-black tentacles extended upward, twisting and swaying, like a dance of demons, with no telling of their size.
By estimation, the main body of the dark entity immersed in the magma was likely larger than a Tailed Beast.
Hakushi and his two companions moved beside Mire, Hakushi looked down at the magma, then turned to Mire: "How about it, can you seal it?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Mire shook her head and said, "No, the darkness is too immense this time, we must find a way to weaken the dark part of the entity."
"No problem, that's why we're here."
