Chapter 80: Illusion Technique

Fugaku frowned slightly, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning as he said in a deep voice: "Then let's use something he hasn't seen before."

Orochimaru glanced at Fugaku, a flicker of realization passing through his golden snake pupils.

The next second, Fugaku controlled Susanoo and suddenly charged toward Gerald. The ground kept cracking under this immense force, with rubble flying everywhere.

At the same time, Orochimaru spread his arms, and countless white snakes poured out from his sleeves, weaving into a huge snake net on the ground that lunged straight at Gerald.

Facing the two-on-one assault, Gerald's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. He looked at Fugaku and extended his hand again: "Earth Dragon Binding Kill!"

In an instant, the ground shook violently. Countless vine-like rock tentacles burst from the earth, like arrows leaving a bow, once again aiming straight for Fugaku's legs.

Fugaku snorted coldly: "You think the same move can trap me twice?"

Before his voice faded, Susanoo's Ame-no-Mihashira suddenly thrust into the ground.

"Boom!"

Immense power burst forth instantly, and the black Susanoo leaped into the air like a shell. The rock tentacles missed, leaving deep grooves in the ground.

Midair, Susanoo suddenly flipped. The Ame-no-Mihashira traced a dazzling arc in the air, like a giant swinging a warhammer, smashing down toward Gerald with unstoppable force.

The white snake net had already covered the ground beneath Gerald. Countless white snakes opened their bloody mouths, venomous fangs gleaming with cold light, biting at Gerald from all directions.

Facing the dual assault, Gerald's eyes flashed with solemnity. He waved both hands, and a golden barrier instantly formed around him, tightly enveloping him.

"Boom!"

The Ame-no-Mihashira slammed heavily into the barrier, emitting a deafening roar. Ripples spread across the barrier's surface, Gerald grunted, the ground beneath his feet cracked instantly, and his body sank slightly.

Clearly, this strike's power exceeded his expectations. He gritted his teeth and pushed both hands outward. The golden barrier suddenly exploded, turning into countless golden light blades.

"Get out of my way!"

The light blades shot outward like a rainstorm. Before Fugaku and Orochimaru could react, they were struck by this powerful shockwave, their bodies covered in dense bloody marks.

Fugaku barely stabilized himself in midair, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes. He stared fixedly at Gerald's eyes, the patterns in his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly.

An invisible spiritual power instantly shot into Gerald's eyes.

Gerald's body trembled, his brow furrowed tightly. "Is this... the move used against Vidalus?" he muttered, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

The space around Gerald suddenly twisted and deformed, countless pitch-black tentacles drilling out from the void.

These tentacles emitted a heart-palpitating aura, as if they could devour everything. They stretched crazily toward Gerald, surrounding him completely in the blink of an eye.

Gerald stood at the center of this darkness, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, swung his right hand, and shouted sternly: "Break!"

In an instant, a golden light burst from his palm, like an invisible sharp blade.

Wherever the golden light passed, the tentacles snapped one after another, turning to ash and dissipating in the air. The dazzling light illuminated the entire space, dispelling the suffocating darkness.

Gerald glanced at the two with contempt, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "I'm tired of this game. End it!"

He suddenly crossed his hands, his deep, powerful voice echoing throughout the space: "Dark Paradise!"

In an instant, the ground shook violently, and a huge magic array several meters in diameter appeared beneath Gerald's feet.

Massive black energy surged out from within him, rapidly condensing before him, and in the blink of an eye formed a huge black hole.

The black hole emitted powerful suction, and the surrounding shadows, as if attracted by a magnet, surged crazily into it.

At this moment, Fugaku and Orochimaru felt an unprecedented oppressive feeling, as if the entire world was collapsing toward that black hole. The two involuntarily retreated several steps, shock and solemnity flashing in their eyes.

Fugaku's Susanoo trembled on the verge of collapse under this power, its huge skeleton emitting creaking sounds of being unable to bear the load. He gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead: "What... what kind of attack is this?" "Die!"

Gerald roared, the black sphere suddenly expanded violently, instantly turning into a pitch-black light pillar that howled toward the two.

"No!"

Orochimaru let out a despairing roar, trying with all his might to dodge, but found his body as if frozen, unable to move. Fugaku's Susanoo collapsed completely at this moment.

The black light pillar instantly devoured the two, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart. When the light faded, Fugaku and Orochimaru's figures had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Gerald looked around, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He shook his head contemptuously and muttered: "Is that all you've got?"

However, just as his voice fell, his brow furrowed tightly, and a hint of confusion and vigilance appeared on his face. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a strange feeling quietly surged in his heart.

"Something's wrong," Gerald muttered, his gaze vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: "This is... an illusion!"

Realizing he had fallen into a trap, Gerald did not hesitate to bite down hard on his own tongue.

Intense pain instantly spread throughout his body, and the magic power within him surged like boiling magma, washing over every nerve.

"Crack!"

A sound like shattering glass rang in his ears, and the scene before his eyes rippled and twisted like a reflection in water. Gerald suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Countless white snakes coiled around him like ropes, their dense venomous fangs deeply piercing his skin. Intense pain and numbness continuously swept through his entire body.

Before him, Fugaku's Susanoo wielded the Ame-no-Mihashira, smashing straight toward his face with overwhelming force.

At the same time, Orochimaru had finished forming hand seals. A huge water dragon rose into the air behind him, crackling electricity swirling around the water dragon, emitting a deafening roar.

Two terrifying forces erupted almost simultaneously, surging wildly toward Gerald.

The air twisted and deformed under this force, the ground shook violently, and the decorations on the walls instantly turned to powder.

Gerald's body instinctively wanted to dodge, but suddenly, a hint of resolve flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, stomped both feet on the ground, and the magic power within him surged out like a bursting flood.

Orochimaru's golden snake pupils flashed with a glint: "This guy, does he intend to take it head-on?"

"Break!" Gerald roared, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

A brilliant golden light burst from within him, instantly forming a huge defensive magic array before him.

"Boom!"

Three forces collided violently in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.

Terrifying energy spread wildly in all directions like a volcanic eruption. Air waves surged, rubble flew, and the entire room shook violently, as if it would collapse in the next second.

Fugaku controlled Susanoo to suddenly retreat a step, shielding Orochimaru behind him to meet the explosion.

However, at this critical moment, Gerald suddenly pushed both hands upward, a hint of ferocity appearing on his face. His arm muscles tensed, veins bulged, and magic power surged crazily throughout his body.

That violent energy was actually wrapped by an invisible palm, suddenly changing direction, and rushed straight toward the sky.

After a tremendous crash, the entire heavy ceiling was instantly blasted into fragments.

Countless stones fell like raindrops, kicking up dust that filled the sky. A violent energy pillar shot straight into the clouds, drawing a dazzling light pillar across the sky.
