Chapter 117 Super Kage! Naruto's Strength

"Whoosh—"

The powerful, almost undiminished silver beam of light violently crashed into the Absolute Cube, but like an egg hitting a rock, it shattered, shooting out intense fiery splinters in all directions, arcing downwards, and landing across various parts of the sea.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The Ghost Sea surrounding the Wind Capital Ship went from calm to turbulent in the blink of an eye.

Giant fireballs erupted, and vast expanses of seawater evaporated instantly.

It was as if a small nuclear weapon had been dropped into the Ghost Sea, triggering a terrifying explosion.

Inside the Absolute Cube, however, it was calm, and everyone was stunned as they watched the world-destroying scene outside.

Doria leaned into Naruto's arms, her cheeks flushed with shyness.

Just like the Dragon Disaster in Wind Capital last time, Naruto always appeared at the most critical moment to save her.

"Is this what they call a Prince Charming in books?"

Doria's naturally adorable eyes twinkled with stars of admiration.

"Lord Naruto, you—you've finally arrived."

"If you hadn't appeared in time, we would have been annihilated by Dragon Mother Tiamat's dragon breath!"

"That was a close call just now."

The Crown Prince, Insectoid Monk, Foreign Swordsman, and other adventurers felt a sense of relief upon seeing Naruto, as if they had found their backbone.

Although Dragon Mother Tiamat had not yet been defeated, they had already calmed down, almost opening champagne prematurely.

"You all be careful. Leave this groggy Dragon Mother to me."

Naruto helped Doria up, habitually forming hand signs to summon his Shadow Clone.

In fact, a perfect-level Shadow Clone no longer required hand signs.

It was just that Naruto had developed a muscle memory for starting with the hand sign.

During the lull in the silver beam, Naruto dispelled the Absolute Cube, left the Wind Capital Ship, and then had a Naruto's Shadow Clone open a new Absolute Cube.

Because this Absolute Cube was opened wide enough to envelop the entire Wind Capital Ship and the nearby sea, there was plenty of air,

allowing enough time for Naruto and Dragon Mother Tiamat to have a good fight.

Naruto stepped on solidified shadow, slowly ascending into the sky, like a god descending, looking down from above at Dragon Island.

At this moment, the full appearance of Dragon Mother Tiamat completely came into view. The basin in the central area of Dragon Island was quite wide, yet even so, with a behemoth like the Dragon Mother coiled within it, it still appeared a bit crowded.

In terms of size alone, Dragon Mother Tiamat was already no less than the Black Dragon Monarch who had lived for five thousand years!

From head to tail, it was at least a thousand meters long, perhaps even more.

Its entire body was covered in thick, pure, and cold silver-white scales, as if forged from billions of refined cold iron and solidified liquid Gekko.

Each scale was huge, hard, and sharp as a blade at the edges, tightly embedded, shimmering with a mercury-like sheen in the light, sometimes reflecting sharp cold light, and sometimes settling into a deep dark silver.

Most striking were the four colossal dragon wings growing on its back!

The upper pair of main wings were the most massive and expansive, like two folded silver-cast mountains, with bones as thick as giant beams supporting tough, thick wing membranes.

These wing membranes were not thin; rather, they were covered with fine secondary scales that gleamed with metallic cold light, their edges sharp enough to cut through air.

The lower pair of secondary wings were slightly smaller, positioned closer to the waist, with equally strong and powerful structures, and relatively smoother wing membranes, like ancient silver satin.

The four wings layered and converged on its broad back, forming a complex and powerful geometric structure, silently containing the explosive force to tear through the sky.

Dragon Mother Tiamat's head was enormous, but compared to the Black Dragon Monarch's majesty, it possessed a touch more of a female dragon's gentleness.

A deep old scar tore through the scales above its left eye, like a gully after lava had cooled, likely left from a battle with a human expert in the past.

Its thick hind limbs were also coiled, covered with shield-like scales, and its claws, like curved giant scimitars, were deeply embedded in the ground.

A long tail, like a continuous silver mountain range, trailed behind it, with protruding caudal vertebrae covered by the largest and thickest scales, and the scales at the tip of the tail were sharp as spears, emitting a deadly threat.

Even when viewed from high above, one could still feel the primal oppressive presence of Dragon Mother Tiamat. It was a living metal mountain, the ultimate manifestation of power.

"Human!"

Dragon Mother Tiamat raised its massive head, roared, its dark golden dragon eyes blazing with fury, emitting a deafening roar.

"I can sense the resentment, unwillingness, and anger of my children."

"They cling to you like vengeful spirits!"

"You are strong enough, it was you who killed all my children, not those useless creatures from the outer sea!"

Dragon Mother Tiamat spoke in obscure, difficult-to-understand dragon language, but also mixed with human speech.

"Vengeful spirits?"

Naruto, like an indifferent god looking down on all beings, replied, "Is that so? I am the Shinigami. If there truly are vengeful spirits clinging to me, I don't mind sending them off on their final journey."

"Arrogant human brat!!"

The Dragon Mother was completely enraged, and its broad, powerful four wings suddenly unfurled.

Just the gale stirred by its dragon wings swept up sand and stones in the valley, like a Category 13 hurricane.

But Naruto was quicker.

He directly activated Dark Dusk Court, and the pitch-black shadow beneath his feet expanded, from which one Shadow Clone after another flew out, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, numerous in quantity, launching a surprise attack on Dragon Mother Tiamat.

These Shadow Clones each formed a Great Ball Rasengan with their hands, fiercely pressing them towards the enormous Dragon Mother Tiamat.

For a moment.

The sound of the Rasengan formed a wonderful echo.

Even the dark valley was illuminated by the Great Ball Rasengan, glowing a vibrant blue.

"Roar!!"

Dragon Mother Tiamat roared, and the silver dragon scales on its massive body were actually able to shoot out silver beams of light, sweeping in all directions.

In an instant.

The sky above the entire valley basin was crisscrossed by silver beams, like a dense barrage of laser fire.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The Shadow Clones falling from the sky were all instantly wiped out by Dragon Mother Tiamat using this move, clearing the field.

One must know, these were Shadow Clones from the perfect-level Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, and whether it was the Chakra distributed, the duration, or the resistance to damage, they were far superior to ordinary Shadow Clones.

The combat power of a single Shadow Clone, combined with the skills of a Shadow Assassin, was even comparable to a true Jonin.

Hundreds and thousands of Shadow Clones were equivalent to hundreds and thousands of Jonin.

This was comparable to the high-end combat power of an entire Ninja Hidden Village.

Yet, they were completely wiped out by Dragon Mother Tiamat in an instant!

"It seems that against extremely powerful individuals, Shadow Clone, which relies on numbers, is useless."

Naruto stood still, unmoving, only his eyes flickering.

With the Absolute Cube in front of him blocking the sweeping silver beams, he had nothing to fear.

As for the other Shadow Clones, they were fully focused on using Great Ball Rasengan and did not have enough strength to activate the Absolute Cube.

It was already a suicidal attack, but he didn't expect Dragon Mother Tiamat to unleash her ultimate move and clear the field so early.
