Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: Above the Priestess

"Priestess-sama, it's not that I want to do anything to you; it's just that this genuinely helps increase the probability of sealing Mōryō."

As he spoke, Kiyoshi had already performed hand signs, summoning the Unicorn Giant Beast.

The Unicorn Giant Beast summoned by ordinary ninjas is not very large, but this one, rigorously selected in the Land of Lightning and raised under severe conditions of wind and sun exposure.

The Unicorn Giant Beast, which grew up under such incredibly harsh conditions, would be larger than the average summoned beast of its kind.

This is an innate talent that cannot be achieved through artificial means.

Unless one uses artificial factors to induce mutation in the summoned beast, like Orochimaru or ninjas who received the Cursed Seal.

However, such summoned beasts lack the original ecological essence.

"…"

Miroku bit her lips tightly, so hard they looked ready to bleed.

She was shocked by Kiyoshi's actions.

"Hiss…"

The white snake coiled in Kiyoshi's arms, moving up to Kiyoshi's neck, its tongue flicking in the air.

"Mmm~"

Finally, a gulping sound was heard.

"You have acquired the Trait: [Above the Priestess (Green)]."

[Trait: Above the Priestess (Green)]

[Requirement Achieved: Make the esteemed Priestess kneel 1 time.]

[Progress: (Completed).]

[Effect: The audacious you are fearless. Your "Wisdom" stat increases by 20% on its original basis.]

[Note: Can be further upgraded later.]

The deepest part of the cave.

This area was extremely spacious, with a radius of several hundred meters.

And the rock ceiling above was astonishingly high.

The sealing formation in the very center had already been broken by Mōryō.

The Land of Demons Daimyō's physical body, looking decades older, lay collapsed nearby.

Mōryō had already merged with its own physical body.

*Boom boom boom!*

The foundation of the entire cave began to crack, exposing the fiery red lava below.

The lava boiled incessantly, looking like it was about to erupt at any moment.

"Hahaha… Hahahahaha!!"

Mōryō's unrestrained and ancient voice echoed throughout the entire cave.

At this moment, he was much more solidified than when he was previously possessing the Land of Demons Daimyō.

No longer like a mist, he had become denser, like a viscous liquid, constantly churning.

"Priestess, you are too late."

After Mōryō adapted to his physical body, he noticed the Priestess had arrived.

Her hair, which was usually tied up by her crown, was now messy, and she looked furious.

Behind her was a man covering his eyes, his head lowered.

"I have reclaimed my power. I will give you one last chance: cooperate with me, or die here."

Mōryō extended numerous dragon heads, all staring at them with scarlet light.

"This is the duty of us Priestesses."

Miroku wiped the corner of her lips and faced Mōryō.

"Very well… I no longer need your power, but… you know what the consequence will be, don't you?"

Mōryō continuously stretched out tentacles.

He had been sealed by the Priestess multiple times and already knew the pattern.

That is, it absolutely requires the Priestess's life!

"No need for further talk. Release! Formation! Seal!"

Miroku stretched out her hand, and purple chakra emerged around her.

To seal Mōryō, she must deploy these barriers.

This is to prevent Mōryō from escaping.

Having learned her lesson once, Miroku would not be fooled a second time.

A wide layer of purple sealing barrier spread out, centered on Miroku.

It enveloped Mōryō and Kiyoshi together.

"I told you, it's too late!"

Mōryō extended countless dragon-shaped tentacles, frantically slamming against the sealing barrier.

At the same time, a large group of terracotta soldiers marched towards them.

The sealing barrier was caught off guard and almost broke. She gave a muffled grunt.

She wiped the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. In addition to the smell of blood, there was another scent.

It came from…

The Priestess looked back at Kiyoshi.

Her face was flushed with shame.

How could he make her, the dignified Priestess, do those things?

"Are you not ready yet?"

Miroku's tone was authoritative.

If Kiyoshi's previous words were all lies, she would be instantly enraged.

"Almost…"

Kiyoshi could feel the twitching in his right eye accelerating.

When it reached a limit, it felt like piercing a thin membrane and entering a new realm.

His right eye rapidly spun, and an extra tomoe appeared, evolving into the Two-Tomoed Sharingan!

At this moment, Kiyoshi's dōjutsu power experienced an explosive growth.

The Sharingan only exerts its true power when both eyes are present.

Kiyoshi had now acquired a pair of Sharingan, but his dōjutsu power far surpassed the dōjutsu power of other Uchiha upon their initial awakening.

Just like the first time he acquired a pair of One-Tomoed Sharingan, the phenomena in Kiyoshi's eyes became clearer.

From this distance, he could even clearly see the texture on Miroku's plump lips and the moisture on her face.

Because she hadn't washed her face with clean water, some dried traces remained on her skin.

All of this was revealed in Kiyoshi's vision.

Not only that, but he could also smell the fragrance on Miroku's body.

His eyesight, sense of smell, and chakra capacity all increased at this moment.

Mōryō saw Miroku turn around, with that strange Uchiha behind her.

"Heh heh, the evolution of the Sharingan? Too bad, the Uchiha cannot defeat the immortal me!"

Mōryō's self-confidence continually swelled.

This Priestess generation had not left a child behind, so even if he was sealed, he could still emerge again.

As long as negative human emotions exist, he will never die!

"Is that so? You probably don't know that the last person who claimed to be immortal is already on the moon."

Kiyoshi spoke words that Mōryō could not understand.

Mōryō didn't know what Kiyoshi was talking about.

But he could sense that this Uchiha brat was getting stronger every second, his chakra capacity slowly rising.

"My Ghost Army, overrun them!"

Mōryō gave the command to the terracotta soldiers.

He then continuously spawned dragon-shaped tentacles, turning to attack Kiyoshi and the Priestess.

Capture the king first!

After realizing that breaking the sealing barrier required a massive effort, Mōryō decisively chose to eliminate the caster first.

"Priestess-sama, do you remember what I just told you?"

The ninja sword in Kiyoshi's hand instantly ignited with flames.

"…I remember."

Miroku hesitated for a moment and stood in front of Kiyoshi.

She reached out and touched Kiyoshi's hand gripping the ninja sword, attempting to transfer her chakra to Kiyoshi.

Soon, Kiyoshi felt an unusual burst of chakra entering his body.

He closed his eyes slightly, sensing this unique chakra fluctuation.

Rashly allowing another person's chakra to enter one's body is a very dangerous act.

Each person's circulatory system is different, and the normal "flow rate" of chakra within the body will differ.

If the tolerance limit is exceeded, it will, in turn, damage the circulatory system.

The principle of the Lightning Blade is precisely to briefly increase this limit by activating the physical body.
