Crystallization

Shion cried out in alarm, "No..." Her Chakra fluctuated violently, and a mysterious purple pattern appeared beneath her feet. Countless tentacles shot out and pierced directly at Deidara.

Deidara was unable to dodge in time and was instantly pierced by countless tentacles, leaving numerous holes in his body, but strangely, no blood flowed out.

Gozu shouted, "Lady Shion, be careful, it's a clone!" Sure enough, Deidara slowly turned into a clay figure.

Ten meters in front of Shion, Deidara appeared out of nowhere, a smirk on his face, and said, "You all disappear, drink." The Nendoroid in front of Shion exploded with a deafening roar, Kakkō shooting into the sky and smoke billowing up, engulfing Shion and Gozu.

The explosion came suddenly, and Shion and Gozu had no time to dodge. Gozu's face was resolute. He turned around and shielded Shion's small figure with his body. The next moment, he was engulfed by the explosion.

Deidara retreated a few meters, admiring his masterpiece with great satisfaction, though he didn't know what was inside. However, Deidara was confident that this explosion would definitely kill both of them.

Above the crystal dragon's head, Guren stared at the site of the explosion, her face filled with murderous intent. The explosion had come so suddenly that Guren had no time to rescue them and could only watch helplessly as they were engulfed by the blast. Guren controlled the crystal dragon and bit down at Deidara.

Deidara conjured over a dozen winged birds with his hands and hurled them at the crystal dragon. The birds grew larger as they flew into the dragon's mouth, where they exploded violently. At the same time, Deidara took the opportunity to retreat.

Half of the crystal dragon's mouth was blown off, but Guren didn't care. She controlled the crystal dragon to stand in front of Deidara, keeping a watchful eye on Deidara. Guren then jumped off the dragon's head and landed in front of Shion. By this time, the smoke and dust from the explosion had completely dissipated, and Shion was kneeling in front of Gozu, anxiously healing Gozu. Just now, Gozu had taken the blast with his own body to protect Shion, his back was a bloody mess, and he had already lost consciousness.

Deidara looked at Gozu's miserable state and coldly said, "It is his honor to die by my art. You will all disappear together. Next, use this, C2, to properly experience my art, hmm." Deidara directly sculpted a white clay dragon, which transformed into a giant white dragon. Deidara jumped onto the top of the giant dragon's head, and then the dragon spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Crimson Guren, controlling the crystal dragon, charged towards the white dragon before Deidara could fully ascend.

Deidara looked at the charging dragon and said, "Let me show you my art first, hmm." The white dragon opened its mouth and spat out a small dragon, which rushed in front of the crystal dragon and exploded with a bang, shattering the Guren's crystal dragon into countless crystal particles.

Deidara controlled the dragon, soaring into the sky and looking down at the group below, saying, "Disappear, all of you." The dragon then unleashed another small white dragon. The white dragon spread its wings and swooped down.

Guren's expression hardened. Gozu was seriously injured and unable to move at all.

Deidara shouted, "Hah!" and the white dragon exploded, Kakkō shooting into the sky in an instant.

Guren Hand Seals, casting "Crystal Release: Crimson Fruit," enveloping Gozu within them. Then, she grabbed Shion and quickly dodged.

After the explosion, Shion looked at the undamaged crystal and asked in confusion, "This is...?"

Guren said, "Gozu is safe inside. No one can disrupt my Ninjutsu. Shion, stall for time. I'm going to use a Ninjutsu to seal Deidara away." After saying that, she began to form hand seals.

Shion's face was solemn as she said, "Yes." She chanted an incantation and pushed her hands out. A mysterious pattern appeared on the ground, and countless Chakra tentacles suddenly burst out of the pattern, rushing towards the white dragon in the sky.

Deidara, seeing the charging tentacles, quickly ascended to avoid their attack, saying, "Next, this move is much more powerful than before; this one is extra-large, hmm." The white dragon opened its mouth, and a fat, smaller white dragon spewed out its breath, spread its wings, and swooped down. The smaller white dragon slammed into the tentacles, and Deidara roared, causing the white dragon to explode, destroying all the tentacles.

Under Deidara's control, the white dragon opened its mouth again, spewing out a fat, smaller white dragon. The white dragon spread its wings and swooped down. Shion's Chakra surged as she stared intently at the descending white dragon, and she began chanting a spell. More tentacles emerged from the mysterious pattern beneath her.

The white dragon suddenly accelerated, startling Shion, as countless tentacles formed a wall in front of her. However, the white dragon nimbly dodged it, soaring into the sky before swooping back down, its target being Guren, who was Hand Seals.

Shion cried out in a panic, "Oh no, Guren!" All the tentacles rushed towards the White Dragon. The White Dragon circled and spun in the air, nimbly dodging the attacking tentacles. As it got closer and closer to Crimson Guren, Deidara's lips curled up. He was ready to detonate the White Dragon and enjoy his own art.

Shion roared, unleashing her full power beyond its limits. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth, and countless tentacles rushed towards Bailong at an even faster speed, blocking Bailong's path before he reached Guren. Bailong was instantly pierced by the tentacles, his body riddled with countless holes.

Deidara said, "The distance is about right, drink." The white dragon suddenly exploded, the explosion sweeping outwards, severing tentacles one by one. Guren was also thrown several meters away by the impact of the explosion, barely managing to keep her Hand Seals intact with all her might.

Shion was also affected; already injured, she immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Deidara looked down at Guren and Shion and shouted, "One more time, this time I'll give you something even bigger, hmm." The dragon's mouth was forced open, and an even fatter, smaller white dragon spewed out, spread its wings, and charged down at Guren.

Shion shouted, barely managing to gather her Chakra, and countless tentacles rushed towards Haku. Although Haku was very fat, he was extremely agile, dodging left and right to avoid all the tentacles.

Shion shouted again, and purple light emanated from her tentacles, surging into the white dragon's wings. The white dragon froze, its wings went out of control, and it fell from the sky.

Deidara was somewhat surprised and said, "You can do that? But my art isn't that simple. Drink up!" The white dragon exploded.

Shion hurriedly pulled her tentacles in front of her, forming a thick wall. Bang! Shion was blasted away and crashed heavily into a tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Guren had finished her hand seals and shouted, "It's over Crystal Release: Eight Crystal Walls Formation!" Countless crystal particles surrounded Guren and swept towards Deidara. Deidara and the white dragon beneath his feet were instantly covered by the crystal, forming a huge crystal.
