Whether or not Ophis heard their conversation, she turned back to look at the two of them, and her lips curled slightly.
This made Nawaki feel a cold shiver down his spine, convinced he was done for.
"Why go through all this trouble?" Xin shook his head, exasperated, as he looked at Manda, who was being dominated by Ophis.
Couldn't they have just talked it out?
Did they really have to resort to violence?
"Roar!! Who dares to attack Lord Manda!!" Manda struggled to break free from Ophis's grip.
Ophis lowered her head, and a energy bomb began to form in her mouth.
The moment the energy bomb started forming, Manda's massive body froze.
It could feel the terrifying power within the energy bomb.
If that blast hit, Manda would find it hard to survive.
Some powerful summoning beasts could hold their own against a tailed beast.
For instance, Gamabunta could go toe-to-toe with Shukaku in his semi-sealed state. But against Kurama...
That's a different story. On the night of Kurama's rampage, Gamabunta couldn't even get close.
Kurama's nine tails lashed out like whips, leaving Gamabunta questioning his existence as a toad.
In terms of strength comparison, Manda might be able to hold his own against Shukaku for a while, but he would never be Shukaku's match.
This could be inferred from Gamabunta's own experiences.
But the gap in power between Shukaku and Kurama...
Xin felt it was quite significant.
However, Ophis, having reached her growth stage, was now on par with Sage of Six Path or even higher in terms of power.
Against Ophis, Manda was completely outmatched.
"Alright," Xin said, raising his hand to signal Ophis to stop as he noticed Manda was about to wet himself, too scared to move.
Scaring him a little was fine, but they didn't need to actually fire the energy bomb. If Manda were accidentally killed, who would deliver their message?
Following Xin's command, the Dragon Magic in Ophis's mouth dissipated. Feeling the threat vanish, Manda let out a deep sigh of relief.
Ophis lifted her tail off Manda and stood nearby, glaring at him with a watchful eye.
The moment Manda made any suspicious move, Ophis would attack without hesitation.
Shaking his dizzy head, Manda slowly got up.
Suddenly, Xin had a mischievous thought and said to Manda:
"Manda, how about signing a summoning contract with me? Ditch Orochimaru and follow me instead. What do you think?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Manda's barely extinguished anger flared up again.
But as Ophis's dark red chakra surged, Manda immediately chickened out, lowering his massive head obediently:
"Ahem, compared to Orochimaru, I think you'd be a better battle partner. But, uh... can there be tribu-"
Before Manda could finish saying "tribute," a tail wrapped in dark red chakra smashed down on him, slamming him into the ground with a pained howl.
