Absorbing the Dragon Vein

Standing within the diamond-shaped crystal on Susanoo's forehead, Menma looked down from above, arrogantly staring at Anrokuzan and Mukade, who had transformed into giant puppets.

"Wh-what is that?!" Anrokuzan's roar, mixed with the sound of grinding metal, came from the head of the centipede monster, filled with unbelievable horror!

His puppet eyes locked onto that towering black giant, and as he felt the terrifying Coercion it gave off, an unprecedented fear surged through his heart.

But soon, that fear was replaced by madness!

"You bastard! So you really did have another trump card!" Anrokuzan shouted hysterically. "But this is Rōran! My territory! The power of the Dragon Vein is endless! You can't win!"

The moment he finished speaking, he violently whipped out that massive tail, tens of meters long and covered in thick metal armor plates!

The dense rows of sharp barbs on both sides of the tail sliced through the air, bringing with them a piercing whistle, like an enormous metal whip as it lashed viciously toward the waist of the black Susanoo!

At the same time, the spider-form Mukade puppet also launched its attack!

Its eight long legs, made from enormous razor-sharp blades, kicked hard against the ground, and its bloated body actually leaped into the air. It dove down from above, its eight bladed legs like eight giant scythes, chopping toward Susanoo's head and back!

Faced with this pincer attack from both sides, Menma only gave a cold snort.

The black Susanoo did not even move to block. It simply let the attacks land on its body.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A rapid series of crisp metallic impacts rang out!

The centipede tail struck the black armor at Susanoo's waist, yet failed to leave even a single scratch!
