"Six Paths Mode Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"
Uchiha Madara drew the combined form of the nine Tailed Beasts remaining within his body—the "Ten-Tails"—into himself. Then his entire body changed. He took on the appearance of the green-skinned Sage of Six Paths, powerful chakra blazing within him!
"Mr. Uchiha Madara, how did you become like this..." McBain said in astonishment. "Could this be your true strength?"
Uchiha Madara did not answer. With one punch, he instantly shattered the Mud Lake Monster's left arm. With another, he smashed a dark light to pieces. When the power of a Dark Sun came crashing down upon him, he actually used his chakra to forcibly block that immense force of darkness, shattering the attack. Dark radiance scattered in every direction, so dazzling it was hard to believe!
"This opponent won't be easy to deal with." Uchiha Madara turned his head and gave McBain a faint smile. "If I didn't become this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you."
McBain's heart immediately tightened. "So... you did it to protect us!"
That was right. Before Uchiha Madara transformed, the Mud Lake Monster had already gained the upper hand against McBain and the others. Even using resonance magic, they could not harm it in the slightest. Instead, the monster's brute strength had knocked several of them down in succession.
Had Uchiha Madara not transformed and shattered one of the Mud Lake Monster's arms, Ada would likely have met with disaster by now! Forte and Una had already been knocked flat on the ground. To finish the two off, the Mud Lake Monster swept at them with its still-intact right arm!
But Uchiha Madara rushed in front of Forte and Una. He drove his right fist fiercely into the Mud Lake Monster's right arm, pulverizing that arm as well!
