Watching Mephisto approaching, Tobirama's body slightly lowered, assuming a bowing stance with his hand gripping the sheathed blade.
"Drawing Sword Technique!"
Tobirama's figure seemed to teleport, instantly appearing in front of Mephisto and passing by him.
A yellow blade radiated alongside Tobirama's movement, slashing across Mephisto's waist. At this moment, Tobirama was only half a body's length away from Mephisto.
Following this, an upward strike lifted Mephisto into the air.
Examining the wounds on his body, Mephisto found a smooth cut across his waist. Magic overflowed from the wound, simultaneously repairing his body. Another deep, bone-visible cut marked his chest, and his blood-red robe was in tatters, devoid of any magical circulation, rendered useless under Tobirama's blade.
In mid-air, Mephisto concentrated blood-red magic in his hands.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Magic projectiles shot out from Mephisto's hands towards Tobirama. Watching the incoming magical orbs, Tobirama swiftly unsheathed his blade, dispersing all the projectiles with a swing.
"Swallow Return!"
Tobirama leaped into the air, surrounded by a massive water dragon.
"Die!"
The dragon's head and the blade combined, directly slashing towards Mephisto.
"Boom!"
Being sent flying into the air, Mephisto crashed into a deep pit, instantly filled with water.
In the pit, Mephisto examined himself; although he had been hit, he avoided extra injuries by instantly raising a magical shield upon sensing danger.
While the shield shattered under Tobirama's attack, it bought Mephisto enough time to evade the lethal blow.
On the other side, Charles, watching Tobirama suppress Mephisto, relaxed. Indeed, the five-star Wandering Samurai - Tobirama was more formidable than Mephisto's clone.
Once again transforming into a humanoid artillery, Tobirama began harvesting the lives of the demon army.
While Mephisto hid in the water-filled crater, his injuries were completely healed, but his aura had weakened.
Concealed in the large puddle, Mephisto looked up, sensing Tobirama's presence. Afterward, he released a barrage of magical projectiles, suspending them in the water.
As Mephisto gestured, several magical projectiles emerged from the water, sequentially flying out. Subsequently, they shot towards Tobirama in a predetermined order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hearing the thunderous sound of magical projectiles, Mephisto released all the stored magical orbs, bombarding Tobirama.
Jumping out of the submerged crater, Mephisto opened his blood-filled mouth, and orange-red energy shot out, sweeping towards Tobirama.
"Boom! Roar!"
An intense explosion occurred as the energetic wave clashed with the water dragon and the surrounding environment.
As the explosion occurred, Mephisto halted his attack. Just when his assault was about to converge on Tobirama, the latter vanished from his sight.
It wasn't a substitution technique like Charles's Body Flicker, but rather, Tobirama's figure disappeared directly from Mephisto's view.
In a critical moment, using the Hiraishin, Tobirama instantly teleported below Mephisto.
Mephisto seemed to sense a slight spatial fluctuation. The next second, a yellow circular blade appeared from below Mephisto, smashing him to the ground.
On the ground, Mephisto rolled, yet before he could come to a stop, Tobirama reappeared in front of him. Observing the opponent's stern face, Mephisto attempted to teleport away, only to find his body suddenly pinned.
Looking down, he saw a water prison emerge from the ground, firmly trapping his legs, rendering him unable to move.
Tobirama's hands swiftly moved, as fast as light, even faster than lightning. Mephisto couldn't see clearly, but he heard the distinct sound of a blade returning to its sheath.
In the next instant, the water prison under Mephisto's feet transformed into razor-sharp blades, slashing at him relentlessly and finally exploding.
In that fleeting moment, Mephisto endured twenty-seven strikes and the shockwave from the exploding water prison. Lying on the ground, his body was covered in wounds, the magical energy surged, swiftly repairing the fractures and healing the injuries.
Observing Mephisto, who should have been sliced into pieces but still had an intact body, Tobirama furrowed his brow slightly.
Seemingly aware of Tobirama's confusion, Mephisto chuckled, "Although your power is formidable, you cannot kill me."
Mephisto was being defiant, as this was only his clone. His death would come when the magical energy in his body was depleted. As his body continuously repaired, his aura gradually weakened.
Tobirama, with a faint smile on his lips, sensed the changes in Mephisto's aura.
"Oh, really?" Tobirama sneered, the disdain evident in his questioning tone.
"Water Release - Flowing Water Wave Slash!"
A massive wave surged from Tobirama's feet, resembling an endless ocean. It spun rapidly at an astonishing speed, spreading across the Grand Abyss and the plains in a blink of an eye.
Seeing the approaching tidal wave, Charles was startled; it was a large-scale attack. However, after the wave lifted him off the ground, he suffered no harm.
Not only Charles's side but also other ninjas, the magical army, and the recently rescued Balthazar and David, who were near the Grand Abyss, were unaffected by the wave.
Tony, in the sky, promptly ascended upon observing the changes.
It demonstrated Tobirama's control over chakra and ninja techniques.
On Charles's side, no one was injured. Still, those peculiar-looking demons were swept into the water, enduring the onslaught of the tidal wave.
Tobirama observed as Mephisto and the demon army were engulfed by the wave. Swiftly unsheathing his blade, the entire sea surface surged with colossal inverted waves, initiating a fierce assault.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Throughout the plain, or rather, the sea's surface, countless cries of agony were drowned beneath the tidal wave.
Mephisto's body, in the water, was continually slashed and torn, eventually shredded into pieces, meeting an instant demise.
As the enemies were thoroughly annihilated, Tobirama sheathed his blade. The water from the sky rolled down like a torrential rain, bringing with it the demon corpses pulverized into particles, all falling together from the sky.
