Chapter 191 - A Slight Advantage

The towering figure of Susanoo dominated the battlefield like a moving fortress, radiating overwhelming pressure.

Standing within the crystal core atop its head, Uchiha Hikaru calmly observed the battlefield below. Her gaze was cold and resolute, as though every development was already under her control.

High-ranking demons descended from the sky, bringing with them an aura of destruction as they dove toward the ninja army.

Each demon possessed terrifying magic and formidable combat power. Their arrival instantly pushed the battlefield into deeper chaos.

The three Tailed Beasts responded with thunderous roars.

Their massive tails swept through the air as if determined to destroy everything in their path.

The Four-Tails roared furiously. Chakra gathered along its tail, condensing into a massive sphere of energy before being hurled into the demon ranks.

The demons immediately raised magical barriers.

The Solar-tier and Radiant Moon demons at the front forced their way forward, enduring the energy blasts as they charged.

The Nine-Tails retaliated by lashing out with its massive tails, striking several demons attempting to approach and sending them flying.

Meanwhile, the Seven-Tails Chōmei spread its wings in the sky, releasing countless wind blades that tore through the demon formation.

At the same time, Hikaru's Susanoo finally moved.

Its enormous hands gripped a colossal chakra sword glowing with orange-red light.

The blade swept forward.

A Radiant Moon demon failed to evade in time—

And was instantly cut in half.

Despite their immense power, the Radiant Moon demons seemed almost helpless before Hikaru's Susanoo.

Realizing the threat, the demons quickly ascended higher into the sky and began casting powerful spells.

One demon cloaked in black flames spread its wings and unleashed a blazing inferno directly toward the Susanoo.

The Susanoo showed no fear.

Its blade cut through the flames and pierced straight into the demon's chest.

The strike was faster than lightning.

The demon was impaled instantly.

Another demon attempted to freeze the Susanoo with frost magic.

Cold energy spread rapidly across the ground as ice formed around its feet.

Hikaru snorted coldly.

The Susanoo flexed its strength—

Shattering the ice instantly.

Then its sword flashed like thunder, cleaving the demon into two.

The overwhelming display of power ignited the fighting spirit of the ninja army.

The four Uchiha Centurions felt the shift immediately.

The centurion seals on the backs of their hands glowed faintly.

Through that invisible connection, their entire units understood the command instantly.

Half the Jonin continued holding back the mid-tier undead army.

The other half began channeling chakra.

Three tomoe spun rapidly within the eyes of the four Morning Star–level Uchiha.

Their bloodline power surged violently.

In an instant—

Four Crimson Susanoo of the Crow Tengu stage rose from the battlefield.

Clang! Clang!

"This is the supreme divine power of the Uchiha clan!"

"Hahahaha!"

The four enormous chakra blades—each dozens of meters long—swung through the air.

The incoming Morning Star demons were sliced apart instantly.

Nearly ten demons were killed in moments.

The shockwaves from the strikes even swept countless undead corpses into the sky.

Meanwhile, the final centurion—an Uzumaki ninja—stood alone at the center of the formation.

Chakra surged from his body like an ocean.

With a single technique, he deployed a massive barrier covering the entire ninja army, blocking waves of incoming magic.

The battle between the Tailed Beasts and the demons intensified.

The Nine-Tails clashed with a heavily armored demon.

Its tails struck like iron whips.

The demon countered with massive axe strikes against the Nine-Tails' body.

Neither side gave ground.

Their collision shook the air with thunderous impacts.

The Four-Tails grappled with another massive demon.

Its tail wrapped around the demon's body while its fists pressed against the demon's horns.

The beast roared as it tried to tear the demon apart.

The demon retaliated by hammering its enormous fists against the Four-Tails' head.

Their raw strength collided violently.

The Seven-Tails battled a flying demon in the sky.

Wind blades rained down endlessly.

Occasionally it scattered hypnotic scale powder.

The demon blocked the attacks with its wings while spraying corrosive venom.

The two creatures chased and fought fiercely across the sky.

"Pathetic trash! Die!"

Mizukaze Haku, commander of the Frost Dragon Knight Corps, charged into battle atop the Frost Dragon King.

A storm of snow followed him.

His spear flashed through the air like a streak of frozen lightning.

One demon's shoulder was pierced instantly.

Violent frost erupted, freezing the demon solid.

Haku lifted the frozen demon on his spear before shattering it into fragments.

Under the furious glare of the remaining demons, Haku rode through their ranks triumphantly.

Behind him, the Frost Dragon Knights formed the backbone of the battle against the Morning Star demons.

With fearless assaults, they created openings that allowed the four Crow Tengu Susanoo to strike again and again.

More demons were cut down.

Seeing the situation deteriorate, one of the Solar-tier demons broke away.

It seized a Frost Dragon Knight—

And tore both rider and dragon in half.

But with one demon leaving, the pressure on the remaining two Solar-tier demons increased dramatically.

They struggled desperately to evade the relentless attacks of Hikaru's War God Blade.

Their instant-cast magic was nearly exhausted.

Blood from dragons and demons rained from the sky.

The cries of dying dragons mixed with the furious roars of warriors.

Despite the fury burning inside him, Haku's face remained ice-cold.

His eyes glowed with chilling determination.

"Low-Origin Magic: Frost Sorrow!"

An overwhelming blizzard descended across the sky.

Fire-type demons trembled under the cold.

Frost-type demons and the Frost Dragon Knights, however, became even stronger.

And the Solar-tier demon before him—

Was a fire-element demon.

"We'll help you!"

Trusting their comrade's strength, the four Crow Tengu Susanoo first struck down the remaining Morning Star demons attempting to break through.

Two were killed.

Two more were gravely wounded.

Then their wings spread wide.

Their blades swung toward the weakened Solar-tier demon.

If the enemy's top fighters died—

Victory would belong to the Royal Court Ninja Army.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tails stepped forward alone.

It fought six Radiant Moon demons by itself.

Meanwhile, the battle between the ninja army and the undead forces grew increasingly fierce.

With mid-tier undead and Morning Star demons joining the battle, the pressure on the ninja army intensified.

Ninjas unleashed endless ninjutsu:

Fire Release

Water Release

Lightning Release

Their techniques flashed constantly across the battlefield.

The Uzumaki clan maintained massive barrier formations, blocking waves of demon attacks.

Brother Soren and Lady Mito are still observing…

They must be guarding against a hidden trump card.

Hikaru silently analyzed the battlefield.

These demons looked terrifying—

But in reality, the overall situation remained firmly under Konoha's control.

If necessary, they could eliminate the demons at any moment.

Seeing that the training objective had been achieved—and casualties were slowly increasing—

Hikaru decided to end the battle quickly.

"Shinra Banshō!"

The Susanoo's chakra erupted violently.

Orange-red light intensified.

Its blade struck repeatedly at the Solar-tier demon trying to teleport through space.

Within Hikaru's eyes—

The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan glowed brilliantly.

In an instant, one Solar-tier demon was immobilized.

The War God Blade flashed—

And the demon was split in two.

Another wind-element Solar-tier demon suddenly erupted in black flames of Amaterasu.

The demon screamed as it burned to death.

Before the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the demons stood no chance.

With the deaths of two Solar-tier demons—

The entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.

Inside the Third Floor Command Room of Nazarick, Albedo showed little concern.

Instead, she stared intently at Hikaru's image.

Her strength—

Even within the realm of Level 100, was extraordinary.

"A world champion…"

Inside the Throne Room on the Tenth Floor, Ainz had the same thought.

Watching the unstoppable orange-red Susanoo reminded him of a former guildmate who had once won the World Champion title.

That friend fought exactly like this.

Against opponents of the same level—

He cut them down like vegetables.

As if they weren't even playing the same game.

"But even a world champion…"

"…must retreat before Super-Tier Magic."

Ainz raised his hand.

The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown appeared.

Divine-class equipment radiated magical brilliance around him.

A massive magic circle formed beneath his feet.

Layer upon layer of magic rose upward—

Reaching the ceiling dozens of meters above.

"Super-Tier Magic…"

"Fallen Down."

The last time the attack failed because the enemy escaped through space.

This time—

It would not fail.

When the spell activated, the Throne of Kings emitted golden light.

All magical fluctuations were hidden inside Nazarick.

Inside the command room, Shalltear sensed the surge of magic below.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"To cast magic together with Lord Ainz…"

"…is truly my honor!"

(Damn it! That should have been my privilege!)

Under Albedo's jealous gaze, Shalltear elegantly lifted the sides of her skirt and curtsied.

Then purple magic circles appeared around her body.

"Tenth-Tier Magic: Spatial Lock!"

Two terrifying spells were unleashed almost simultaneously.

On the battlefield, Uchiha Soren sensed the danger immediately.

He transmitted the warning to Hikaru and Uzumaki Mito.

But there was no time to react.

The next second—

Blinding light descended from the clouds.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

A golden holy sword rose from the ninja army—

Colliding directly with the descending super-tier magic.

The clash unleashed a devastating storm of energy.

Magical light exploded like countless stars.

The golden sword blazed like a miniature sun.

Shockwaves spread outward like tidal waves.

The ground split apart.

Massive rocks were thrown into the air.

Heat filled the atmosphere.

Four Crow Tengu Susanoo raised their blades in front of the ninja army, shielding them from the blast.

Even though the ninja soldiers were shocked—

They remained disciplined and calm.

Above them, magic and golden light intertwined across the sky.

The two forces struggled violently against each other.

Neither side yielded.

At that moment—

A silver figure wrapped in frost suddenly leaped into the sky.

It was Haku, riding the Frost Dragon King.

Through the centurion seal in his hand, he gathered the power of the Frost Dragon Knight Corps.

A fifty-meter-long spear of ice formed.

And plunged directly into the center of the energy storm.

The moment the frost spear struck—

The balance collapsed.

With a thunderous explosion—

Both the golden sword and the magic shattered.

They dissolved into countless particles of light.

The battlefield fell silent.

The ninja army stared in awe at Haku, riding the Frost Dragon King.

Even the Uchiha warriors felt genuine respect.

"Pathetic insects trapped inside a cage."

Watching the scene, Ainz was not particularly surprised.

He calmly ordered Albedo to continue sending endless undead forces to harass the enemy.

At the same time, he calculated his remaining resources.

A ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

If you want to catch the wolf—

You must be willing to sacrifice the sheep.

The enemy's strength had now been thoroughly tested.

There was nothing left worth fearing.
