BOOOOOOOM!!!!
Searing flames erupted outward from the fiery red ring surrounding the mutated Fire Demon, along with terrifying shockwaves, directly blasting off the four giant earth walls caging the demon into smithereens.
However, the Earth walls still restricted a large amount of firepower of the Radius Blast innate skill, reducing the actual blast radius to less than ten meters.
And while doing so, those massive walls also redirected a significant amount of explosive shockwaves and flames toward the demon. This resulted in the demon sustaining serious injuries caused by its own innate skill.
When the smoke dissipated, Seimei and others could see the mutated demon standing around the cracked and scorched ground with one missing hand, heavy injuries from blunt trauma, charred skin, and bloodied muscle tissues.
The demon was now looking toward them, especially toward Seimei, with deep hatred.
If Seimei hadn't used the Bringer of Darkness Genjutsu to rob it of his vision, how could it fall into such disadvantage and suffer from such injuries?
Fortunately, the explosion, the enclosing Earth walls, and the burning pain from its injuries disrupted the Yin Release chakra released by Seimei enough for the Genjutsu to be dispelled.
Otherwise, it would still be a blind chicken—ahem—blind demon.
This hatred…
The demon was determined to pay it back a hundredfold.
Unfortunately, life wasn't a web novel story, and the demon was certainly not the protagonist.
Before it could indulge in further wishful thinking and completely regenerate its wounds, Uchiha Sorata and Seimei attacked again.
Seimei formed a few hand seals and slammed his right hand on the ground while releasing a large amount of Earth Release chakra.
Earth Release: Shackles of Gaia
Twelve dark brown, sturdy linked chains made of solidified earth with spear tips in the front erupted from the ground, and rocketed toward the demon at the speed of a bullet.
And the demon, who was alert, immediately used Explosive Steps to dodge the chains that tried to pierce its skin, break its bones, and entangle it.
Seeing this, Seimei simply waved his hand. Under his superior chakra control, the twelve dark brown chains immediately changed their trajectory and hurled toward the demon once again.
When the demon watched this, it couldn't help but curse.
It was still trying to regenerate its old injury, but the human kid wasn't even willing to let it take a breath. And now, this damn white-haired kid's Jutsu was following it like a venomous serpent, too.
It seemed there was no escaping these chains.
In that case…
The demon stopped retreating and puffed its mouth. Then, it exhaled a large amount of lava, which condensed and created a nearly eight-meter-wide scorching sphere of rock and lava before hurling it toward the incoming Earth chains.
Seimei didn't know what technique the mutated Fire Demon used, but it looked very intimidating indeed.
Soon, the giant sphere of lava and rock and the chains collided mid-air, causing a huge explosion.
Booooooom!!!
A huge shockwave and flames erupted in every direction, destroying both the homing Earth chains and the sphere of lava before devastating the surrounding lands.
The demon didn't waste any time. It wanted to eliminate Seimei, who could make its vision cover in darkness, as soon as possible.
So, it used Explosive Steps once again and appeared in front of Seimei before the commotion from the explosion even subsided.
The demon extended its right hand, which was covered in fire and molten lava, making its claws sharper, hotter, and deadlier. Its left hand and claws were also covered in similar molten lava.
It aimed its claw directly at Seimei's neck, wanting to finish him off in one heavy, powerful, and deadly blow.
Its physical strength, speed, and durability far exceeded most Taijutsu-type Elite Jonin ninjas, let alone a human kid.
Even if it couldn't rip Seimei's head off in this one blow, it believed that it could at least destroy Seimei's windpipe and break his neck.
If Seimei was lucky enough to react and cover his neck with his arms, or use common Earth Release hardening techniques to boost his defense, the demon's molten claws could still pierce through all those defenses like a knife passing through soft tofu.
In short, Seimei was destined to die or get injured enough to lose his combat capability after this strike.
So, the demon, who was just one meter away from Seimei, smiled sinisterly and said, "I got you."
Unfortunately, things didn't unfold according to the demon's script.
"Oh really?" Seimei said as he smiled lightly while looking at the demon directly in its eyes.
Seimei channeled an enormous amount of lightning chakra on his left hand's chakra amplifying gloves, which crackled with purple bolts of lightning.
At the same time, he reinforced his entire body with chakra to boost his strength, reflexes, agility, endurance, defense, and dexterity greatly.
Then, he used his lightning-infused left hand to deflect the molten lava claw of the demon, which was aiming for his neck.
Bang!! Crackle!!
Lightning bolts and fragments of lava rock flew into the air with a mild shockwave as Seimei deflected the molten lava claw.
At the same time, he pushed his right hand, which held a basketball-sized blue sphere of rotating chakra, toward the left side of the demon's chest.
The demon's eyes contracted as it felt an immense sense of threat from the blue chakra sphere, which was actually Rasengan, in Seimei's hand.
If it couldn't block it in time, the chakra sphere would surely rip its heart, left rib bones, and lungs into mush. Although such conditions wouldn't kill the demon, they would still weaken it significantly, allowing others to kill it.
So, it quickly covered its left chest with its left arm, covered in hardened lava, just before the Rasengan could hit its chest.
The Rasengan hit the demon's left arm and ripped it apart before smashing directly on its left chest. It tore through the demon's skin, flesh, and ribs and turned its internal organs, including heart and lungs, into a pulp.
Finally, the momentum of the Rasengan pushed the demon back for several meters, leaving deep tracks on the ground.
"Ahhhhhhhhh….bastard bastard bastard."
"I'll kill you. I'll kill you."
"Cough…cough!"
The demon howled in pain and cursed Seimei as it coughed a mouthful of blood mixed with chunks of internal organs.
Its AA-rank chakra core had also suffered some damage, negatively affecting its regeneration speed.
"DIEEEEEEE"
The demon shouted as he gathered a lot of chakra around him and was about to unleash another devastating AoE attack.
Clank~ Clack~ Clack~
But before it could do it, six golden Adamantine Sealing Chains suddenly came out of the ground and pierced its limbs and torso, effectively cutting off its chakra flow.
Uzumaki Benitsu, who was underground, used the golden sealing chakra chains to restrict the demon's movement and seal its chakra flow, preventing it from releasing any innate skills.
His lips curled up slightly as he murmured, "Now…we have got you, demon."
As soon as the chain was wrapped around the demon's body, the Earth surrounding the demon began to change its form.
In less than one-fifth of a second, several sharp spears of earth came out of the ground and pierced through the body of the demon, restricting its freedom of movement even more.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
The demon let out a terrifying roar as it saw Senju Haku crouching down and placing his hands on the ground a few meters away. He used Earth Flow Spear Jutsu to make sure the demon stayed where it stood.
The mutated Fire Demon's eyes burned with pain, anger, and hatred as it tried to move its body and do everything possible to free itself from the restraints.
Soon, the demon saw Seimei making a throat-cutting gesture. A trace of confusion appeared in its eyes, which soon turned into burning anger as the demon thought Seimei was mocking it.
Unfortunately, before it could shout profanities at Seimei, a black blade covered in scorching flame flashed in the demon's peripheral vision.
Before it could process its thoughts, it felt its vision spinning. With this spinning vision, the demon saw its headless body and Uchiha Sorata standing nearby, holding a pitch-black short sword covered in flames.
Seimei saw the demon's head flying in the air, pointed his left hand while forming a single-handed seal, and said, "Goodbye~"
Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear
Crackle!! Crackle!!
Lightning bolts gathered in Seimei's left hand with the sound of a thousand chirping birds before it extended forward in a straight line like a sharp spear made of pure lightning chakra.
The spear of lightning pierced the demon's head mid-air. Seimei flooded the demon's head with lightning, which turned the skull into a pile of ashes.
Seimei retracted the spear of lightning and canceled the Ninjutsu as he saw the ashes getting scattered in the sky.
The demon was decapitated, and its head was utterly obliterated.
The final boss-level monster, the leader of the beast riot, was finally dead.
