At the same time, Yagura's Mirror Clone (Rengoku) on the other side was not about to be outdone.
With a sharp whoosh, a tailed beast cloak suddenly rose around his body.
Then he swung his arm, carrying a hazy, mysterious glow as he smashed it toward Darui with overwhelming force.
Darui also raised his palm to meet the incoming strike from Yagura's Mirror Clone (Rengoku).
The two palms, each containing terrifying power, collided in midair with a deafening boom.
Bang!
The enormous impact sent both of them flying backward uncontrollably.
Yagura's Mirror Clone (Rengoku) was knocked back because the black lightning released by Darui pierced through his defense, leaving his body briefly paralyzed.
As for Darui, after clashing head-on with his opponent, dense layers of coral-like growths suddenly appeared all over his body, as if binding him in place.
As a result, both sides were affected by each other's techniques and were unable to move for a time.
By the time they regained the ability to act, they discovered that the battle between Yagura and Killer B had already reached its fiercest stage.
At this moment, both had completed full tailed beast transformation.
The Eight-Tails Gyuki versus the Three-Tails Isobu!
As Gyuki's tail fully emerged, its body began growing at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached a height of forty to fifty meters, like a moving mountain.
By comparison, Isobu looked much smaller, standing at less than twenty meters tall.
From size alone, Isobu was already at an absolute disadvantage, and the outcome of the battle seemed decided.
Faced with such an overwhelming difference, Isobu (Yagura) did not retreat.
He let out a thunderous roar.
Then Isobu quickly curled his entire body, wrapping himself tightly inside the massive, heavy shell on his back.
In an instant, Isobu spun toward Gyuki like a giant wheel.
This move was originally meant to crush enemies by relying on its enormous size and weight.
But now, Gyuki was even larger than Isobu, and forcefully blocked the attack.
A world-shaking crash rang out.
Boom!
Gyuki's eight powerful octopus tentacles instantly displayed astonishing strength.
Four of them drove deep into the ground like iron stakes, firmly supporting its mountain-like body.
The other four were raised high, holding back the rapidly spinning Isobu.
For a moment, neither side gave an inch.
During the fierce clash, it was clear that the tailed beast cloak covering Gyuki's octopus tentacles was constantly being worn away and stripped off.
Although Gyuki had temporarily blocked Isobu's fierce attack, everyone present understood one thing.
If Isobu, under Yagura's control, kept spinning like this, then once its strength was exhausted, the situation would immediately reverse, and Isobu would quickly fall into a passive position.
"Oh! You actually came to capture us all by yourself. You really don't know what's good for you, baby!"
Inside his inner world, Killer B excitedly flashed his "ROOK" hand sign while happily dancing on his toes.
He looked as if he could already see himself defeating Yagura, unable to hide his excitement.
Darui, on the other hand, remained calm.
He knew perfectly well that, with Yagura's current strength, he was no match for Killer B.
So all he had to do now was stall for time. As long as he held the situation together until Killer B defeated Yagura, everything would be settled.
In his flaming form, Darui quickly formed hand seals.
"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"
Then he suddenly opened his mouth, releasing a powerful stream of water along with dazzling Storm Release light.
Because Matatabi's blazing flames had sharply raised the surrounding temperature, the water instantly turned into scalding steam.
Moving with incredible speed, it blasted straight into Yagura's Mirror Clone.
Boom!
The moment Rengoku was hit, flames burst out, thick smoke billowed, and a violent explosion followed.
The tremendous impact hurled Rengoku backward.
Not only that, the attack also carried intense paralysis and burning effects, causing a searing pain to spread throughout his body.
Even so, Rengoku showed no fear.
Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold, cruel smile.
At the same time, an icy voice echoed through the dense forest like a ghost.
"Dance... Dance of the Seedling Fern!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, as though the entire earth were shaking.
Along with the terrifying noise, huge amounts of earth were violently thrown into the air, filling the sky with dust.
Then thick bone spears burst out of the ground at astonishing speed, shooting straight toward Killer B.
Their tips gleamed with a cold light. Some were as thick as bowls, while others were as thick as washbasins.
They continuously erupted from underground, rapidly extending toward Killer B.
At that moment, Killer B was fully occupied resisting the Three-Tails Isobu's Shadow Stroke and had not noticed the deadly bones beneath him.
The octopus tentacles beneath him that had been keeping him steady were suddenly struck.
The pale bone spears instantly pierced through the tentacles, pinning them firmly to the hard ground.
The Eight-Tails Gyuki immediately let out a heart-rending scream.
It writhed in pain, but with its tentacles firmly pinned, it could not break free.
At the same time, a figure burst out from among the bone spears that had pierced Gyuki.
It was Kyokotsu.
Holding a sharp blade made of bone, he shot toward Gyuki's eye like a bolt of lightning.
In Gyuki's huge, millstone-like eye, the intruder's appearance was reflected clearly.
A bone blade, red markings at the corners of his eyes, and mayfly-shaped eyebrows, these were the unmistakable traits of the Kaguya Clan.
Even more shocking, the man before him possessed the legendary Shikotsumyaku.
The bone blade in his hand was about to pierce Gyuki's eye.
