Chapter 77: Battle of Titans
Esdeath was surprised by this development!
"A good trick…you are showing me~"
Each one of the Susanoo began marching like a demon army!
Her cold blue eyes landing on each one of the monsters, her smile still unchanged, her rapier clenched by her snow white hand. It gave her a deeply vaillant air.
As even in front of, what seemed like the epitome of despair, she still faced the monstrous assault head on!!
Her speed advantage still working on her favor!! She evaded the Close range and Long Range assaults of the Susanoos!!!
Madara's clones moved to contain here, but in vain!
She kept using ice under her feet to constantly change direction in midair!!! Making her movement like a wild valse in the tempest!
And boy she knew how to dance!
Like a violent dancing valkyrie, sometimes she would move unbridled by the world, unbridled by its laws, unchaining the cold with her, like a godly blue thunderbolt.
Other times she would disappear like she was melting in the snow, and would reappear like a mysterious demon embraced by the whims of the Tempest!
Evading by a hair length the tonitruons attacks of the Susanoos.
Resisting the heat of The Gigantic Katon techniques!
Freezing the vines of the mokuton jutsus!!
Every time Madara would add another instrument, her valse would become more and more complexe, her dance would push her senses to the borders of insanity, as her instinct alone was moving her limbs.
She would rotate in the air with her rapier out, like a windmill as she evaded the assault of one of the 150 Gigantic blades of the Susanoos!
She would march on the head of one freezing him as she faced another!
A woman against 25 TITANS!!!
A snow maiden dancing with 25 Titans. Some men would go blind by the Terrible beauty of this scene alone!
If there was any doubt about her strength in the Mist Village, they were all shut in this moment!
The Jonin even had deep determination to serve her:
"If ever Mizukage-sama shows sign of defeat."
"Even if we have to die in the process we need to saver her!!"
The Higher ups also nodded with a fiery gaze:
"With her, the Mist will rule the Shinobi World!!!"
Slowly she started using long range attacks, so she can win some time!
Ice spears clashing with the Susanoo armors!
Ice shards frostbiting the Titans!
Ice rocks damaging the Susanoos
Ice shields protecting her from inevitable attacks!
Sometime she used one, sometime she used the other! The snow Tempest only grew as she was using all her powers!!
The Snow of the Ice Queen!
The Fire of the Ghost of the Uchiha!
The 25 Monsters of The Sharingan!
Everything intertwined in another confrontation! Taking over the whole scenery again!
Madara smiled:
"You have a pretty good dance!"
Suddenly the regime of the Susanoo accelerated, the stalemate continued for quite the time. But gradually as Esdeath's stamina was depleted.
Her dance got slower and slower.
Power wise she could still compete, but the sheer number of Susanoos made her unable to completely intercept all their attacks at once.
Gradually, the white shade of the snow, turned red, as her dance got slower and slower. Her each step became more sluggish, her reflexes became number and number with time. Slowly, like a falling flower in the wind, she slowly withered.
"But you seem out of steps."
Until out of breath, she fell on her knees, her shoulder bloodied, wood vines attached to her legs Yet her face still adorned a murderous smile:
"Such a fight!"
"Is something I always desired!""
Madara looked down on her:
"Is it already over? Ice Girl?!"
She looked up at the 25 Monsters around her.
"Your little trick gave me quite the idea."
She stood up and smirked at his disdain:
"You seem quite proud of your little minions."
Her smile grew wider:
"I also happen to have a lot of cute minions!"
As she said that…Madara for the first time in this fight, felt deep danger!!
His instinct giving him glaring alarm bells, his Sharingan spinning like never before, he had a serious face, as he lightly grazed his Gunbai in anticipation.
All the remaining 9000 Ice Soldiers disappeared into energy and divided into nine equals parts downing by the side of Esdeath!
Bringing with them a raging blizzard, a blizzard that made even Madara Uchiha feel cold!
All the jonin started freezing using their chakra to barely maintain their life!
This is was a cold so great that it affected not only Kiri but the whole Land of Water!!!
Madara could even see the close sea freeze in front of his eyes!
The Temperature in the whole Land of Water descended, as even the people in the Land of Wind could feel a slight climate change!!
This was the power of the Ice Queen! The Power of even changing the laws of the Sky!
The Sky seemed to be like a maiden crying for help, tearing up in snow, wailing for forgiveness in winds! It seemed to be nearly breaking apart, as if even giving birth to such calamities, greatly surpassed even it's limits!
By her side in the middle of this irresistible cold, appeared 9 Gigantic silhouettes even bigger than the 25 Susanoos!!
Deep roars invaded the whole Land of Water, signaling the advenement of new born Colossi!
Esdeath sat on top of one, one leg over another, like the Queen of all existence!
If the Susanoo looked like crazed demons, the 9 Gigantic silhouettes were like the Knights of the Apocalypse.
Cold, Ominous, evil yet with deep grace and nobility ingrained in their construction!
Esdeath at the Head of her new Legion laughed! Her Blue hair blown by the Tempest!
Her stone cold blue eyes with monstrous insanity in them, as she announced the name of the new technique she just came up with:
"Ice Vice Commanders!!"
Madara narrowed his gaze:
"Yondaime Mizukage, huh."
His Magnekyou vacillated swiftly between the 9 Beasts that she was about to unleash on the world.
The 9 Cold white Centaurus, were armored to the brim with European armor , and immense ominous blunted lances, in contrast with the samourai armor of the Susanoo, and their katana!
The Cold Imperial impression of power it exuded was unparalleled.
Madara, his hands crossed, his eye coming up with a conclusion, remarked in his mind:
'Each one of them could contest with a tailed beast.'
His blood boiled as Memories of his fight with Hashirama, reappeared in his mind.
His smile only grew more as he took off his Gunbai, his Susanoos raging down on the world!
He was Madara Uchiha! The Ghost of the Uchiha!
And today, since that fateful battle! Someone finally got his blood boiling!!
"No matter from where you came form…! Mizukage!!"
His EMS Spinning wildly in his opened eye:
"I, Uchiha Madara recognize you as the strongest of this Era!!"
"Let's dance one more time!!"
The Susanoos attacked all at once. Esdeath took off her rapier, jumped to meet her adversary as she screamed to her 9 Monster troop:
"Charge!!"
Titan Clash!!!
Deafening Galloping sound was heard as the colossi Centaurus charged their enemies!
Wherever they foiled the ground, the glacier apocalypse covered the whole land! Gradually the whole battlefield became nothing but ice, and the temperature dropped every time they made a single step!
The Ice Vice Commanders attacks summoned the blizzard with them, invoked the snow and enraged the tempest on the monstrous assault of the Susanoos, completely overwhelming them in raw power!!
The Katana cutting through the ice, felt like they were fighting the concept of cold itself, like the laws of the world were skewed in their favour!
The Susanoo weren't fighting only the Colossi, they were also fighting the wrath of the sky itself! The viciousness of a Thousand-year old Winter! The Mizukage wasn't mortal anymore!
Now at the top of those Centaurus, she was the Goddess of Ice, the Goddess of the Sky, and The Goddess of Calamity!
The Susanoo slowly but surely started freezing!
3 Humanoid Susanoo were at least needed to contain one Ice Vice Commander!!
You would even see Three Susanoo climbing atop of an Ice Vice Commander, one taking his arm the other holding on to one of his legs! The other slashing with its Six Blades like a deranged bastard!
You would see half frozen Blades still piercing through the gigantic backs of the Colossi!
You would see the humongous lances skewing two or three Susanoo at the same time and just slamming them around!!
Those two people would still call it a fight, but it was already a war in the eyes of the watchers!
A war no sane village would participate in!
This was a grandiose battle, so grandiose, that even the mighty Susanoo couldn't bother about the appearances!
Each clash changed the scenery, each exchange seemed like it could end a country!
Mountains got flattened! Deep gullies were formed! The sea kept freezing and breaking again and again in a destructive cycle!
The Lances of the Centaurus against the never ending blades of the Susanoos!! Each clash's shock wave was enough to injure the close observers. Even those back at the bloody mist were trembling just feeling the after-shock of the fight!
This wasn't Shinobi Fighting!
This was the work of Gods!
The Ice Cavalry vs The Susanoo Legion!
The mythological confrontation lasted for 10 Straight hours without a single winner!!
The two protagonists kept clashing again and again!! Bloody psychotic smiles on their faces!
Her powerful Rapier clashing with his legendary Gunbai!
The two silhouettes continued to intertwine reverting to the previous taijutsu confrontation!
Another long stand-still, as light wounds started appearing on each one of them!
The bigger and mortal ones already healed by Madara's Hashirama's cells, and by Esdeath's absorption of the energy of her Ice Soldiers.
Still Esdeath's regeneration was short of Madara's as she was much more bloodied than him. Madara's EMS Began even copying her fighting style!
On the other side Madara was suffering from soul wrenching frostbite, he felt like he was colder than a corpse!
He looked down on the battle going down.
Seeing his Susanoo starting to finally break apart, Madara clapped both his hands together:
"Mokuton: Deep Forest Manifestation!"
Vines started sprouting from the snowy ground, changing the terrain once again!
Those vines immobilized Esdeath for a while, as they started to freeze under the effect of simple contact.
He smirked:
"As expected, you are not using Chakra, are you?"
Esdeath smirked back:
"And what of it?"
He narrowed his eyes:
"If you tell me what energy are you using. I may spare your life."
She laughed as if hearing the most hilarious joke in the world:
"If you are strong enough, my life is yours!"
"Come take it!"
"The Strong survives, the weak dies!"
Her smile grew meaner as she freed her self from the long frozen vines:
"If not. I will take yours and make your skull my wine cup!!"
His smile only grew as he heard some words, he couldn't contest:
"As expected of one who holds the title of Kage."
"Actually, of all the disgusting weaklings, I saw come and go this last years you're the worthiest of the title of 'Kage'. Resisting for such a long time."
All the Susanoo slowly disappeared as Esdeath felt an ominous premonition in her heart!
"But you see…All Kage no matter the strength are worthless in my eyes."
Suddenly, an extremely violent aura surrounded him!
"Only one person could ever stop me…And until this very day."
The Blue aura, moved his long spiky hair up!
"Only one person could make me go at full power."
He smirked, as a gigantic hooded Ancient Colossus doing a hand sign dominated the view of the whole Kiri village, making everyone, Esdeath included, feel like little ants
"…You happened to be the second."
The hood slowly transformed into gigantic wings that seemed to carry the destruction of the world in it!
The Kazekage took a deep breath:
"So…That's…Madara Uchiha."
"This is man…is a living god."
Cornelia took a deep breath, her eyes glued on the screen:
"He finally pulled it out."
Eivor eyes became solemn:
"If we weren't Saiyans…I doubt anyone in the order could contest with him."
"As reported…This man seems to have no weakness."
She then stared deeply at the Absrudity, as she thought:
'So this the power even his Majesty is proud off.'
At top of the Damocles hovering over the Land of Water, a blond man with two silver haired saiyan by his side asked:
"What do you think of it? Zeno-san?"
Zeno took a deep breath as he smirked in self-derision:
"And here I though the greatest warriors of this world would be around Netero's level."
Silva sighed:
"No matter how good he is...This..."
"This is simply too much. How can normal humans harbor this kind of power?"
A Tengu Mask on, the carrier of evil!
The Sengoku samurai attire!
The Symbol of destruction.
The Apex of the Uchiha Clan
Esdeath gulped up and down as she strained her neck just to look up at the absurdity she was witnessing.
The Jonin of Kiri were all on their asses, at their wits end.
"My Perfect Susanoo!"
This thing seemed like a disaster more than a technique. It seemed that, at the slightest movement it could recreate the scenery!
"Now…Despair."
He said as the Susanoo created a deep gully by it's simple movement!
