Chapter 109

Almost every change and increase in the original form, as well as the attack used, used up the chakra reserve, gradually reducing the density of Kongo Fusa: Goriathe no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct). I suppose if you spend a lot on attack, there will be destabilization and technique cancellation at about one fourth of the volume. I get the attack, but what about defense?

- Attack me with each element in turn," I turned to the kage bunshin (shadow clone), who was also watching closely, "leave the earth for last.

The fireball, followed by lightning, wind blades, and a column of water, had almost no effect, unable to penetrate the compacted chakra and only wasting some of it, but much less than was invested in the techniques. It was the difference in potential, especially since only Suiton (water release) and Raiton (lightning release) were properly trained, but I had to jump away from the stone stake that grew out of the ground.

The first disadvantage was found - because of the halved nature of the construct, attacks from below, where there is no defense, are excellent. But, this option does not dull my sensory senses, is mobile and much less costly.

- I waved to the clone, wanting to test this element for direct collision as well.

Stomping the ground in front of him, the kage bunshin tossed up a large boulder and sent it in my direction in one strong blow.

- Shit! - The incoming clod of compacted earth simply blew me off my seat, making me curse.

And I suspect that if I use chakra to brace myself, the result would be the same as taking a projectile to the chest without any protection. Hmm, what if...

- Again," I nodded to the clone.

The boulder crashed into the construct, but this time it shattered into shards, not moving me even a centimeter. All I had to do was to anchor the construct to the ground instead of doing it myself. True, you lose mobility for a moment, but it's a matter of practice.

In general, even in its reduced form, Kongo Fusa: Goriaté no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct) was excellent in both offense and defense, albeit with a few exceptions, except that it had faded a bit from chakra consumption. By folding the seal of concentration, I fixed this flaw.

- Boss, this technique will be more difficult to use against Dotons and Suitoners," the clone said, "especially if they find it unprotected from below.

- I've already thought of that," I nodded to him, "but against Ning experts, it's just a candy, not a technique.

- With our chakra density further increased in Kongo Fusa: Goriate no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct), it would be strange if it turned out differently," he shrugged, "I'm more concerned with the use of techniques in such a form, beyond simple manipulation.

Well, I doubt that transformation is possible here, but something like that... Raising the construct's right hand, I concentrated. The ball of golden chakra that appeared on my palm swirled, but quickly dissipated. Only on the sixth attempt did I manage to make something remotely resembling a rasengan, and it came into its proper form on the third dozen, humming bassily. And it was unexpectedly difficult, especially considering the fact that I could create a normal rasengan through the basic tenketsu on my hands in a fraction of a second and without straining, thanks to my trained control.
