"Roar—"
A deafening, bone-chilling roar rang through the sky, as if it intended to tear the entire world apart.
At the same time, a sharp, shrill howl rang out as well. The sounds intertwined, creating an utterly terrifying atmosphere.
The Nine-Tails' enormous, ferocious body appeared before everyone. Its cavernous maw hung open, exposing razor-sharp fangs and filling the air with waves of foul stench.
Its eyes, brimming with hostility and fury, remained fixed on the five people not far ahead. In particular, when its gaze swept over Kinkaku and Silver Horn, it revealed undisguised viciousness and malice.
Recalling how Kinkaku and Silver Horn had once been swallowed by it and trapped in its stomach, the Nine-Tails' fury began to burn fiercely.
Those two detestable bastards had wreaked havoc inside its belly. They had not only tortured it in every conceivable way, but had even cruelly torn away its flesh.
That painful memory was like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into the Nine-Tails' heart and making it impossible for it to forget for all eternity.
However, although the Nine-Tails could keenly sense that these people before it harbored no obvious malice, for some unknown reason, the aura emanating from them filled it with extreme disgust.
That aura was like an invisible pressure, making the Nine-Tails feel utterly uncomfortable.
What angered the Nine-Tails even more was the contempt and disdain in these people's eyes as they looked at it, as if they were looking at a pet.
They seemed completely unaware of the immense power and majesty the Nine-Tails possessed. They stared straight at it without the slightest fear, as if they did not take it seriously at all.
"Look! The show's about to begin!!"
Raiga shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, as if he could already see victory within reach.
