The moment he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke clearly saw the intricate, tangled barriers.
Sasuke let out a cold snort.
Then, carrying Illya on his back, Sasuke leaped toward the high cliff.
It was a cliff-like mountain peak from which one could overlook the surroundings, offering an exceptionally broad view.
