Boom!
At that moment, before the wooden giant that was slowly collapsing to the ground had even fully fallen, Jirobo on the ground suddenly raised his head. A chilling glint flashed through his cold, furious eyes!
His burly body suddenly sprang up from the ground!
Countless clouds of dust instantly spread outward from where he had been standing.
Bang—
The wooden giant slowly raised an arm in front of its chest, seemingly intending to block Jirobo's attack. However, its movement was just a little too slow.
Jirobo's burly, pallid figure suddenly appeared behind it!
Like a merciless warrior, he threw a punch!
Crash!
The wooden giant was smashed heavily to the ground.
The struck portion of its body shattered instantly. Cracks spread like those on porcelain, and before long, its entire wooden body fractured and exploded.
Seeing the wooden giant smashed into fragments by Jirobo, Nawaki, who had dodged behind a stone pillar some distance away, showed little change in expression.
Only a hint of gravity appeared in his eyes as he slowly assessed the situation, thinking to himself.
What exactly happened to these guys!?
What could have caused them to undergo such an enormous change...!?
And... if that's the case, then it can probably be inferred... Orochimaru... there's no way that guy died in the earlier attack!!
Just as Nawaki was thinking this.
Tap... Tap...
Heavy footsteps gradually drew nearer.
Within the vast underground space, after smashing the wooden giant to pieces, Jirobo actually began walking slowly toward Nawaki.
His footsteps were heavy and powerful, his face expressionless. Like a robot clad in bone armor, he gave off an eerie, chilling feeling!
Above, on the pitch-black ceiling, another equally pale figure wore an eerie smile. Swinging six arms, he too slowly approached Nawaki as though walking on level ground.
