Cocytus

Two spatial portals suddenly opened in the sky, plunging the entire battlefield into an eerie silence.

The shock that Mito Uzumaki was like a violent storm.

Her eyes were fixed on the two teleportation portals, her intuition screaming warnings. Without the slightest hesitation, the image of an immortal appeared on her moon-like face, and then she raised her fair, jade-like fist.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, then exploded violently like a nuclear blast, the force of the punch distorting space as it slammed straight into the most threatening portal.

The portal is an ancient and mysterious circle, with shimmering runes inlaid on its edges. The space inside is bottomless, with faint starlight flickering in the darkness, as if leading to an unknown world.

"Orcs, invincible!"

A roar shattered the silence as a towering orc warrior wielding a giant axe burst from the portal. Before his bloodthirsty aura could fully dissipate, his marble-like muscles were struck by an oncoming fist as soon as he uttered his roar!

Its entire body twisted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, then crashed into the monster behind it, and vanished without a trace along with the teleportation portal!

The second portal emitted an eerie purple light, with flowing light on its frame that resembled liquid, as if purple snakes were crawling across it.

The space inside the door was distorted and uncertain, like a chaotic void.

With a deep hum, Cocytus's tall figure slowly emerged from the portal.

His insect armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and the Katana in his hand exuded a suffocating chill.

Closely following behind was a well-organized Frost Legion, led by eight of Cocytus's personal guards— Snow Woman of the Blazing Sun- level.

The chilling waves that seemed to freeze the heavens and earth far surpassed those of the Frost Dragon Knight. The sudden drop in temperature caused even the elite warriors, whose strength had reached the Jonin, to shiver involuntarily.

Behind them was an ice-elemental monster army; their armor reflected a blinding light in the sunlight, like—no, like—a cold army from hell.

Upon their appearance, the ninjas were filled with shock; this power surpassed even that of the previous demon legion.

However, one of the two spatial portals was completely shattered by Mito Uzumaki, and this overwhelming power only made them more captivated!

"Long live Mito-sama!" Combat Ninja from the Uzumaki Clan shouted, and the entire battlefield erupted in cheers.

Mito Uzumaki, leading the way, has become the new flag bearer, her power subtly overshadowing that of Uchiha Hikari.

"I can do that too."

Uchiha Hikari muttered a complaint to himself, but his Mangekyo was fixed on the sudden arrival of the Frost Legion, especially at the very front, where the silent Cocytus seemed to sense a considerable threat.

"The other spatial portal has been destroyed..."

Cocytus was shocked, and inside the Great Tomb, the Momonga in the Throne Hall were even more astonished.

Looking at the orc warrior who had been killed with a single punch, and the seven or eight High-Tier Monster who had been cut into several pieces by the spatial turbulence when the portal shattered and were now beyond dead, a feeling of dying before even starting a mission filled Momonga's mind.

"This power is even stronger than Supernatural Magic!"

As the Momonga stared at the image on the projection screen, the dignified woman who had suddenly appeared was slowly withdrawing her fist. Even through the barrier of the Great Tomb, a chilling aura still assaulted his mind.

"Momonga!"

Pandora's voice trembled. He had almost been torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence, and only then did he recover from his terror.

Emerging from his mimicry transformation into his original form, his faceless face was filled with the terror of surviving a near-death experience, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, each drop seemingly telling the story of the life-or-death moment he had just experienced.

Momonga remained seated on the throne, his figure as imposing as a mountain.

He nodded slightly, reassuring Pandora.

Pandora took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"I'm fine, Momonga, it's just about the expedition..."

"It's alright. This defeat, in a way, isn't necessarily a bad thing. We've forced out another powerful opponent! Now, open the barrier and launch a frontal assault!"

Momonga first comforted the still-shaken Pandora, then contacted Albedo and Cocytus. After a brief period of silence, the Great Tomb's forces were instantly reactivated.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the order, Cocytus charged ahead at the forefront, and the magic that prevented flight caused the Frost Dragon Knight flying in the sky to fall one after another.

Without air superiority, the Frost Dragon Knight were like insects to be killed one by one by Cocytus, utterly powerless to resist.

The Frost Dragon's frosty breath and the Ice Release of the Yuki Clan were completely ignored, not to mention Cocytus, even by the Blazing Sun Snow Woman behind him. They could even turn them into their own, creating an even larger snowball effect of ice magic.

The ninjas' blades scraped against the cold armor with a harsh, grinding sound, but they couldn't budge it an inch.

The attack was like striking an indestructible rock—futile.

Wherever Cocytus led his steel torrent, layers of frost formed on the ground, and a bone-chilling cold filled the air.

Each soldier was like a cold statue, ruthlessly wielding their weapons, taking the lives of one ninja after another.

Lend me all your power!

Yuki Haku's roar echoed across the battlefield like thunder.

The Knights Order insignia on his palm shimmered with a luminous white light. The remaining Frost Dragon Knight gritted their teeth and squeezed out all the power in their bodies, channeling it all into Yuki Haku's body.

In an instant, endless snow and ice covered the surroundings, forming a force powerful enough to rival Cocytus.

"A link of power? An interesting power."

Cocytus, who had no interest in slaughtering the weak, revealed a look of delight at finding prey. He glanced at the menacing Uchiha Hikari and Mito Uzumaki with his insect eyes, waved his hand, and the Frost Legion behind him split up to attack the Royal Court Ninja Army.

Under Albedo's command on the third level of the Great Tomb, the Undead Legion launched an increasingly fierce offensive.

Ice Release: Endless Ice Spear!

Yuki Haku rapidly Hand Seals with his Ice Release, instantly unleashing countless ice spears that swept towards Cocytus like a blizzard. The ice spears drew streaks of cold light in the air, aiming straight for Cocytus's vitals.

Cocytus sneered, his Katana flashing with a cold light as he easily shattered the ice spears one by one. Ice shards danced in the air like dazzling stars.

However, Yuki Haku did not stop there. He slammed his hands on the ground, and frost spread rapidly, instantly freezing the ground and forming an ice domain.

Cocytus paused slightly, feeling the frost beneath his feet constantly eroding his power.

His gaze grew even colder, and then he leaped up suddenly, brandishing his Katana, heading straight for Yuki Haku.

At the same time, Uchiha Hikari's eyes flashed red, and the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan surged within her body.

His hands quickly Hand Seals, and the Chakra of the three Tailed Beast was drawn by Uchiha Hikari, flowing into the bodies of all the ninjas through the power of the [Yachihoko] seal.

The ninjas felt a surge of power within them and roared with renewed fighting spirit.

Four Uchiha ninjas stood in the center of the battlefield, their eyes flashing red light, the power of Susanoo erupting within them.

A massive red Yin Release fusion with Sharingan power, the Karasu Tengu Susanoo, gradually took shape behind them, like a war god descending.

In the blink of an eye, four Susanoo stood tall, wielding giant swords and radiating boundless pressure.

Cocytus sensed this powerful force, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Looks like I need to deal with you as soon as possible!"

Within the Frost Legion, the strongest is its commander. If this drags on, who knows what might happen? Besides, the supreme Momonga is watching over him!

The divine Katana in Cocytus's hand, named [God-Slaying Sword Emperor], exuded a suffocating chill, and the frost aura surrounding him flickered incessantly. Even the Frost Dragon King, with its astonishing resistance to ice, slowed down its movements.

Fortunately, the power of the other frost dragons was flowing into the Frost Dragon King's body. The surge of blood and magic caused the Frost Dragon King to roar, carrying Yuki Haku, and constantly dodging Cocytus's fierce slashes.

Yuki Haku unleashed his Ice Release relentlessly, frost power raging across the battlefield. However, Cocytus's defenses were as impenetrable as steel, easily deflecting each attack.

"Frostbite Strike!"

In terms of raw strength, Cocytus was still superior. He quickly found an opportunity and slashed straight at Yuki Haku with a blade that was wrapped in the beauty of exploding ice and snow.

The Frost Dragon King unleashed a Dragon Breath, which was instantly cleaved in two by the blade. Yuki Haku's dragon lance was also severed.

Seeing that Yuki Haku and the Frost Dragon King were about to be cut in two by the [God-Slaying Sword Emperor], a ball of black flame suddenly ignited, and Cocytus, whose heart was filled with alarm, was enveloped in a bone-chilling aura.

"Cold air breath!"

The collision of ice and fire lasted only a Setsuna. The eternally inextinguishable Amaterasu Fire was instantly frozen, while the flickering black flames remained completely unaffected, burning eerily.

Before Cocytus could Susanoo, wielding their giant swords, launched a fierce attack on his frost legion.

The giant sword sliced through the air, creating gusts of wind, and hurtled towards the eight Snow Woman.

The eight Snow Woman reacted swiftly, their icy blue pupils flashing with a cold light.

They brandished their ice blades, meeting the four Susanoo's giant swords head-on. The ice blades clashed with the giant swords, producing a deafening roar, and ice shards scattered everywhere, as if fragments of an icy world were flying through the air.

The Snow Woman moved with graceful movements, like ice butterflies dancing in the cold wind. Powered by the giant sword, they floated in the air, their small hands covering their thin lips as they exhaled a raging torrent of icy air that instantly froze the air Susanoo.

Although Susanoo's giant sword was powerful and heavy, it was slowed down by the cold air of the frost.

One of the Snow Woman moved with lightning speed, her figure transforming into an icy blue bolt of lightning, circling behind Susanoo and thrusting her ice blade straight at its vital points. Susanoo turned around, sweeping his greatsword horizontally, and the Snow Woman hurriedly retreated, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. Another Snow Woman seized the opportunity to attack from the flank, her ice blade slicing across Susanoo's shoulder, leaving a deep icy mark.

The Uchiha on it snorted coldly, controlling Susanoo, and wielding the giant sword even more violently, the air filled with the sound of sword energy colliding with frost.

The Snow Woman worked in perfect harmony, weaving ice blades and frost into a massive net to try and trap Susanoo. Susanoo's giant sword, though powerful, gradually lost its strength within this icy net.

The battle intensified, the figures of the Snow Woman appearing and disappearing in the cold wind, and the sound of Susanoo's sword exploding echoed in the frost.

The power of cold and rage reached its peak at this moment, and the entire battlefield seemed to have become a world of ice, snow and sword energy.

However, with the strong support of the three Tailed Beast, especially the Nine-Tails, the four Susanoo, who were almost at the complete form of the Martial God, were ultimately no match for the eight Snow Woman of the Blazing Sun level.

Not to mention protecting the Ninja Army beneath them from the attacks of the remaining undead and the Frost Ninja Army.

When the battle turned against him, Uchiha Hikari swept his sword horizontally, the blade slicing through the sky like lightning, carrying endless chill.

The blade flashed, like thunder in the sky, instantly shaking the Shikata. Wherever the blade went, the air seemed to be cut open, emitting a piercing shriek.

Caught off guard, the two Snow Woman only saw a flash of silver light rush towards them before their bodies shattered and vanished into dust.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Uchiha Hikari's eyes were as cold as ice, and the sword in his hand seemed to come alive, slashing towards the Frost Legion with endless killing intent.

The Perfect Susanoo and the Karasu Tengu are two completely different worlds. The fierce and powerful Warrior God Blade leaves a trail of destruction wherever it goes, and the earth trembles in its wake. The dark clouds on the horizon are swept away, revealing the sun gradually setting.

"Truly the embodiment of power!"

Seeing Shikata Uchiha Hikari, Cocytus's eyes turned cold. Ignoring the Yuki and exhausted Mizunashi Hikari, he suddenly leaped up, brandishing his Katana, and charged straight at Warrior God Susanoo.

Cocytus stomped his feet, cracking the ground instantly, and his massive body shot towards the towering Susanoo like an arrow.

The Katana drew a silver arc in the air, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, pointing directly at Uchiha Hikari above Susanoo's head.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly overestimating one's own strength!"

Uchiha Hikari's eyes were cold as he looked at Cocytus, who was small in stature but carried enormous strength. His huge arm suddenly rose, and the giant sword in his hand slashed down like Mount Tai.

Swords clashed, sparks flew, and the deafening sound of metal clashing echoed in the air.

Although Cocytus's Katana was incredibly sharp, it appeared so small in front of Susanoo's giant sword. Unable to gain any leverage in mid-air, his body was instantly pressed down by the Warrior God Blade.

"Get up!"

Not to be outdone, Cocytus stood on the ground, holding Katana in both hands, and taking out [Decapitation Fang], a gleaming silver-white axe-spear, from his inventory with his other hands.

Then, with veins bulging on his four arms, he suddenly exerted force and managed to slightly force back Susanoo's giant sword.

Cocytus's eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit. His figure moved like a ghost, weaving through the gaps in Susanoo's attacks, repeatedly wielding his Katana, searching for an opening.
