"This is bad! The pull is too strong!"
Aoba shouted as his body began sliding toward the vortex against his will.
Kakashi felt the immense pressure too. Gritting his teeth, he said to Aoba, "I'll hold back the pull. Find a way to destroy that vortex!"
"Got it!"
Aoba nodded, and the Chakra remaining in his body surged once more.
He had almost none left, but they had to destroy the black vortex quickly. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Kakashi formed Hand Seals and let out a shout. A massive fireball burst from his mouth and flew toward the black vortex.
The fireball struck the vortex with a thunderous crash, only to be swallowed by its pull. It had no effect at all.
"It's no use!"
Kakashi's expression changed.
Aoba's eyes sharpened as he gathered the last trace of his Chakra into his long blade. "Then I'll have to try this! Lightning Release: White Lightning—Limit Break!"
This time, Aoba did not throw the lightning spear. Gripping his long blade, he charged straight at the black vortex.
The lightning spear's full power gathered along the blade, forming a dazzling radiance that seemed bright enough to light the night.
"Aoba, watch out!"
Kakashi shouted.
Aoba did not look back. With every ounce of strength he had, he drove the long blade into the black vortex.
In an instant, the blazing lightning collided with the vortex's evil power, unleashing an earthshaking BOOM!
A powerful shock wave spread in every direction, throwing Aoba and Kakashi through the air. They slammed hard into the sand.
Aoba felt as though his organs had been knocked out of place. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
When he looked up again, the black vortex had vanished, and the black sand around them had returned to normal.
