Chapter 471

………

"What power, what heroic posture!!!"

A certain magical world.

In a vast ice field.

A woman with ice-blue long hair, dressed in military uniform and with a tyrannical temperament, casually manifested a magnificent long sword like ice and nailed the alien prince under her feet to death, laughing wantonly while covering her face, her plump figure trembling violently.

Too strong.

Really too strong.

Even she, the strongest Teigu user, the Empire's Great General, was trembling.

It was hard to believe that such a powerful group, such brilliant heroes, and such a suffocating system existed.

"Heroic Spirits, huh?"

Esdeath curled her lips into a wild smile, looking at the darkening Sky Curtain with burning eyes.

If it were her, could she compete with those four Kings after sublimation?

Familiar ice-blue electric arcs exploded, forming a lingering lightning, and the terrifying prestige was released wantonly, making the dense alien captives before her bow their heads deeply.

At this moment, even though she had been stripped of the strongest Teigu, "Demon's Extract," she still possessed extremely powerful ice-type magecraft.

Even if given time, the so-called Demon's Extract would cease to exist, becoming a vast amount of mana completely digested by her.

Magecraft is truly too strong.

Too strong.

Esdeath was very satisfied; she could even hear the wailing from within the Demon's Extract in her body, and kicked the corpse of the alien hero prince away.

"Liver?"

A white-haired middle-aged man walked out respectfully: "General, what are your orders?"

"Search for all those who have awakened mana among the aliens; this will be a great enemy of the Empire…… forget it."

Esdeath thought it was too cruel, so she waved her hand: "Too much trouble, kill them all…… Three days later, the whole army returns to the capital."

Liver was stunned.

"Did the Imperial Capital summon the General back?"

"No."

Esdeath looked into the distance with sadistic eyes: "Too slow, the efficiency of those guys is too slow. I want to popularize magecraft throughout the Empire with my will, analyze magecraft, research magecraft, until…"

She looked at the Sky Curtain, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Until she leaves this worthless world and goes to a more distant place worth ravaging and conquering.

………

Ninja Continent.

Konoha.

The young boy with hollow eyes stared at the Sky Curtain as if he had been scared silly.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and walked toward the empty clan grounds, washing up, cooking, training, and finally returning home to close the door…..

Sensing that the secret surveillance gaze had been cut off, he clenched his fists tightly, sparking a burst of electricity.

"Magecraft!"

Only magecraft.

Only magecraft could give him the possibility of killing that man.

That world had simply shattered his young worldview completely and then rebuilt it.

Heroic Spirits, Servants, Noble Phantasms, Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider………

True transcendent power, the strongest power without any shortcomings.

Shattering continents, evaporating oceans, even destroying celestial bodies—it exceeded his imagination, exceeded his range of cognition.

If he could obtain this power……

The boy named Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head and slowly tore off the leather covering his right hand.

A scarlet pattern gradually revealed itself, flowing with brilliant light; he could even feel a connection in the dark.

A connection to some magnificent thing like a concept……

"Hahahaha.."

Sasuke Uchiha covered his face and tried hard to suppress it, but the Uchiha's iconic laughter kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Itachi!"

"Itachi！！！"

As long as he could successfully summon such an existence, no one, no one could stop his revenge.

………

Hyuga clan grounds.

The birds in the cage were chirping, wondering why the poop-scooper hadn't fed them yet.

On one side.

The long-haired boy who covered his forehead with bandages finally withdrew his gaze from the Sky Curtain and sprinkled a handful of rice in.

"Bird in a cage, huh."

The boy whispered, curling his lips into a mocking smile, and suddenly reached out to open the birdcage.

The little bird was stunned for a moment, then reacted, so excited that it didn't even eat the rice, rushing out and spreading its wings to fly into the sky.

Looking up at the bird flying away, a sincere joy finally appeared on the boy's face.

After a long time.

He looked at the scarlet pattern that had emerged on his wrist.

Mobilizing the mana that had been expanding crazily since he awakened, he reached out and tapped lightly.

Sizzle———

A brilliant thunderbolt roared out, turning into a winding electric snake and disappearing in a flash.

"When will my cage break?"

The boy whispered.

Behind him.

A tree slowly fell over.

I don't know how long it had been.

"Neji, Neji…… the clan head is calling you, saying it's a test to see if you've awakened mana."

A loud voice rang out in a hurry, followed by an adult's reprimand.

The boy named Neji Hyuga used an Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm to erase all traces before walking toward the mansion in a leisurely manner.

………

Late at night.

Hokage Building.

"A storm is coming."

Standing by the window, overlooking the thousands of lights of Konoha, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi had a gloomy look in his eyes.

For the magecraft system in the Sky Curtain, he was both yearning and fearful.

Yearning for that power, convenience, and even the possibility of immortality.

But fearful of the changes it brought.

In a series of events, the Uchiha clan was destroyed, Orochimaru defected, White Fang committed suicide, Tsunade went far away, and Jiraiya was trapped in another world.

The entire Konoha originally had no one who could pose a threat to him or the Sarutobi clan.

But now it was different……

The light blue pattern on his hand flashed, sparking an electric arc, and he clearly felt the comprehensive enhancement of his own physical abilities.

Even for someone of his level, using a basic magecraft like reinforcement magecraft increased his strength by at least ten percent.

Then, what about those young and strong Jonin?

Maybe the enhancement isn't much now, but what about later?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried.

For the sake of Konoha, these unstable factors must be cleared away like the Uchiha clan, or at least they must be under his control.

Suddenly. ===== CHAPTER 472 =====
