[Dungeon] Chapter 63 – Stronger Dullahan
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 13:20:00 +0000 UTCRias pointed her hand forward and shot a destruction ball again, killing several monsters.
Akeno, on the other hand, summoned a lightning spear and threw it forward. It pierced through dozens of undead, killing them instantly.
"Go!"
Naruto summoned more clones and charged at the enemy. His clones attacked the enemies from different directions, distracting them while he attacked from behind.
Without taking much time, they defeated all zombies and skeletons in the area, prompting for the second waves to arrive. This time, the monsters that came out of the doors were the same, but they looked slightly stronger and bigger.
"The skeletons are wearing metal armor?" Shikamaru noticed. "That's going to be a pain in the ass."
"Troublesome." Kankurou agreed. "We'll have to take care of these guys one at a time."
Temari was already moving, swinging her fan. She unleashed a powerful wind that sliced through the air, cutting the bones of the skeletons and killing the zombies.
Gaara's sand moved swiftly, stopping the large zombie from approaching. However, the big zombie slammed its fist on the ground, creating a shockwave that sent the sand flying.
Gaara immediately reformed his defense and sent the sand to attack again.
Shikamaru made a hand sign and a shadow appeared from beneath him, spreading out in all directions. He used his Shadow Sewing Technique to bind the enemies in place before sending his shadow needles to pierce through their heads.
Naruto also made a shadow clone and multiplied again.
"I'm not losing to you!" He yelled at Rias, summoning another Rasengan. "Rasengan!"
The ball of swirling chakra slammed into a group of zombies and skeletons, destroying them completely. But, there were still more of them coming.
He glanced at the red-haired girl and saw her shooting another destruction ball.
"Another one!" He shouted, making another clone. "Rasengan!"
The two of them continued to fight side by side, competing against each other. Blue and red balls kept on destroying monsters in their way. It was a competition that became a spectacle for Jiraiya and Sirzechs who stood near the gate, observing the fight.
"Your disciple is quite talented. He reminds me of someone." Sirzechs spoke as he looked at Naruto. "I am impressed, but I don't think he can surpass Rias."
Jiraiya laughed at his remark and shook his head.
"Hahaha, Naruto is still holding back a lot. If he truly uses his full power, then the situation will be a bit different."
The Devil's leader raised his eyebrows and looked at the white-haired man.
"That so? I have to see it with my own eyes then."
Back to the fight, Shikamaru was getting annoyed. The monsters kept on coming and coming. It seemed like there was no end to them. Even though he was using his Shadow Stitching Technique to bind the enemy in place, it didn't last long.
'There are too many enemies!'
Worse, two people just watched the situation without helping. He glanced at Jiraiya and Sirzechs who were talking while watching the fight. It was infuriating, especially when he knew how strong Jiraiya was.
'Damn old man. I know you're strong, but at least help us a bit!'
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
Suddenly, Naruto's voice rang out. Shikamaru turned to look at the blond-haired boy and saw him surrounded by hundreds of clones. It seemed like he wanted to end this wave quickly. His clones rushed towards the monsters, attacking them with all kinds of techniques.
Some used taijutsu, others used weapons or ninjutsu, but most of them used the Shadow Clone Technique.
The monsters were overwhelmed by the sheer number of clones, and they started to retreat. Seeing this, Shikamaru sighed in relief. He didn't have to worry anymore.
"It's ove-"
Just as he muttered that, something ominous appeared from the other side of the room, interrupting him.
It was a tall black knight with a flaming head, holding a huge sword. It wore black armor with red lines running through it. It mounted a headless horse, and its body emitted an aura of death.
Those who had attacked this dungeon before, Naruto and the two Devils, immediately recognized it.
"Dullahan! It's here!" Naruto yelled.
Rias also noticed the monster and prepared her destruction ball. Akeno stood next to her, ready to strike.
Unlike the first run, the Dullahan that appeared right now looked slightly different. The red lines across his armor were brighter than before and his aura was stronger.
"Neigghh!" The horse neighed loudly and stomped its front hooves on the ground.
Then, Dullahan pulled his sword back, preparing to attack.
"Here it comes!"
Dullahan swung his sword horizontally, creating a crescent moon-shaped mana slash. The slash cut through everything in its path, leaving deep gashes on the sand wall that Gaara created.
The kazekage grunted as he controlled the sand to reform the wall, protecting himself and the team from the attack.
"Futon! Goufuu Koujutsu!"
Temari jumped high and swung her fan, creating a powerful wind blade.
The wind blade hit Dullahan, but the armor was too strong. The monster didn't even flinch and continued to charge forward, ignoring the attack.
"Damn it! That thing is tough!" Kankuro cursed as he summoned two humanoid puppets. They ran toward the enemy, but Dullahan swung his sword again and slashed the puppets in half.
"Shadow Sewing!"
Shikamaru extended his shadow and tried to bind Dullahan, but it broke free easily. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"
Naruto summoned his clones again and they charged at the Dullahan. They punched and kicked it, but the monster just slashed through them without caring.
"Rasengan!"
The blond-haired boy shot the swirling ball of chakra, but Dullahan blocked it with his sword.
"Damn it!" Naruto cursed, but he didn't give up. He continued to attack, but none of his attacks were working.
"Power of Destruction!"
A red ball flew towards the monster at a fast speed. It destroyed the ground as it travelled.
Seeing it, Dullahan raised his sword. It hummed with blue light as the monster prepared to use his mana slash.
"Go!" Rias shouted, and the destruction ball exploded in front of him, creating a shockwave that sent dust flying everywhere.
But, the explosion didn't harm him at all. In fact, it didn't even scratch his armor.
Dullahan's flame that burned around his headless neck suddenly glowed, and the blue light that shone on his sword became stronger. It gathered more energy and the weapon became sharper than before.
The monster swung his sword and a powerful mana slash flew in Rias' direction.
The red-haired girl's eyes widened in surprise when she saw it coming. She quickly created a barrier, further empowered by Akeno's lightning. But, the attack was so strong that the barrier cracked and broke. Rias and Akeno were blown away by the impact.
"Ugh!"
"Aah!"
They fell on the ground, coughing blood. Their bodies were injured, but they managed to stand up. The barrier managed to protect them from the fatal damage, but the pain was unbearable. It was as if their insides were burning.
"It's stronger than before." Rias muttered, wiping the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand.
