"What kind of weapon is this? Its firing rate is incredibly fast!" Bo Tu's arms dropped, and his breathing became rapid.
Aside from Madame Gao, the other four all seemed somewhat fatigued.
Alexandra looked at the Magnum 40X in Ailer's hand, feeling extremely wary, "We can't let him have another chance to pull the trigger!"
"Since that's the case, then none of us should hold back. Let him witness the true power of The Hand!" Murakami was the first to suggest this, and he began to act. His eyes turned pitch black, and dark energy surged around him.
Seeing this, Alexandra, Bo Tu, and So Wanda all entered this state. In this state, their strength and speed greatly increased, reaching a level where they could contend with the 'Magnum form' for a time.
The Ninjas of The Hand could use the power of the 'Beast', so why couldn't the five of them?
Bo Tu flashed in front of Ailer, and the long blade in his hand actually transformed into a venomous snake, lunging towards Ailer.
Ailer redirected his gun and shot the venomous snake, which had transformed from the long blade, exploding it.
"Kid, witness the Ninjustu of our The Hand!" Bo Tu roared.
At this moment, Alexandra, Murakami, and So Wanda simultaneously attacked. Their fists and kicks transformed into the forms of wolves, bears, and leopards, pouncing and biting at Ailer.
Facing three enemies whose strength was on the same level, Ailer knew it would be difficult to dodge. So, he channeled his energy to resist the enemies' 'Black Qi' and then used the strength of his armor to withstand the attacks.
After sliding backward several meters, Ailer sensed that the four wanted to attack him again, so he fired a wide-range spray of bullets.
The furious hail of bullets forced the four back, and only then did Ailer have a chance to find a way to defeat his enemies.
"Since you use 'Ninjustu', I'll use Ninjustu too!" Ailer took out the Ninja Buckle and quickly removed the Magnum Buckle.
Seeing this, Murakami wanted to interrupt Ailer but was stopped by Madame Gao.
"Don't move carelessly. This kid will have strange power protecting him when he changes things. Attacking him recklessly will only cause you harm."
At Madame Gao's shout, the other four had no choice but to adjust their positions, ensuring Ailer would not escape their encirclement.
Hearing this, Alexandra also said to the others, "It's fine, five against one, we have a better chance of winning. Kid, don't say we're despicable when you walk right into our trap."
"What a righteous old lady." Seeing this, Ailer smiled slightly, but at the same time, he increased his vigilance towards Madame Gao.
Because Madame Gao showed no changes, her eyes were still clear black and white, and her position was the closest to the edge, as if she was deliberately preserving her strength.
This old fox is definitely planning something! Ailer thought to himself as he inserted the Ninja Buckle into the Desire Driver. He pulled the Ninja Buckle's pull tab.
[Set. Ninjas of Fire Shadow! Ready. Fight!]
As the mechanical sound fell, a green armor was also put on Ailer. The armor was very light, and there were shuriken weapons on his arms to eliminate sound during high-speed movement. Because Ailer reinforced the Ninja Buckle with his energy, the callout changed slightly.
A curved expansion accessory weapon, the 'Ninja Double-Edged Sword', landed in Ailer's hand. He lightly swung the Double-Edged Sword in his hand, then said to the five fingers of The Hand:
"Next, it's my moment to shine."
'Bang'
As soon as Ailer finished speaking, a puff of white smoke erupted. The next moment, twenty-five 'Ailers' emerged from the smoke.
This was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu from 'Ninjustu'. The Ninja Buckle, reinforced by 'Qi', broke through the original Ninjustu limits. As long as Ailer had enough stamina and 'Qi', he could unleash various high-risk Ninjustu.
"What's going on?" Alexandra asked in confusion, "How did it suddenly become twenty-five?"
"Because I understand Ninjustu better than you!" The twenty-five Ailers simultaneously raised their proud heads, "And you were the ones who said five against one wasn't despicable, after all, you are the five fingers of The Hand."
There's a saying that you have to defeat 'magic' with 'magic'. When facing 'Ninjas', you also have to defeat them with Ninjustu.
"Arrogant!" Murakami, who was most skilled in Ninjustu, immediately rushed out. His figure merged into the shadows, his aura largely disappeared, and his whereabouts became elusive.
At the same time, the other four also charged out, and even Madame Gao, who had remained aloof, took action.
If she didn't exert some effort, the possibility of being suspected of slacking by the others would increase.
The scene instantly turned into a large battlefield with thirty people. And just as the two sides were about to clash, the twenty-five Ailers all took a deep breath, then spewed a large ball of flames from their mouths.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
The sheer number of fireballs was enough to fill the entire top floor, but for The Hand's five members, who were imbued with 'Qi' and 'Demonic Arts', flames of this temperature could not harm them.
"Mere illusion!" Bo Tu roared, and the katana in his hand once again transformed into a venomous snake. This time, the snake was enormous, wider than an average car. The venomous snake opened its huge mouth and swallowed a large ball of flames.
The others also used their respective methods to avoid damage.
The fireballs were only the first wave of attack; the subsequent close combat was the real threat to those five.
Previously, it was five members of The Hand fighting one Ailer, but now it was twenty-five Ailers chasing the five members of The Hand. The sound of clashing metal immediately echoed through the room.
The continuous onslaught left The Hand's five members struggling to cope, and at this moment, Bo Tu noticed that three clones had left the battlefield and were running towards the ritual array.
"Quickly stop him! Don't let him affect the ritual!" Bo Tu shouted loudly.
"Easy for you to say, you try stopping him!" Alexandra retorted grumpily.
All five members of The Hand were tied up, leaving the three clones free to destroy the array.
The first clone placed his hands on the ground, attempting to destroy the array's terrain with Earth Release Ninjustu; the second clone sprayed Water from his mouth, wanting to erase the array; the third clone exhaled Wind, wanting to blow away the sacrifices on the array.
Ailer used a three-pronged approach, attempting to destroy the array that was summoning Hell Demons.
But at this moment, a strange power appeared. Wind and Water vanished into thin air, and the terrain was smoothed back down.
"Do you think you can stop all this? The ritual is complete!" Seeing this, Bo Tu was overjoyed.
Because the ritual had succeeded, the descent of the 'Beast' was unstoppable, and Black Sky would inevitably appear in this World.
"You're wrong, old ghost." Seeing this, Ailer remained calm. Even as the array glowed intensely red, he confidently said:
"Because I will stop all of this!"
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an arrogant human."
At this moment, a voice emerged from the array. Needless to say, this was undoubtedly the voice of the demon 'Beast'. A cloud of black mist floated out from the array and circled within the room, as if searching for something.
The container the Beast wanted was not Ailer, nor was it Bo Tu or Murakami, but… Madame Gao!
