Chapter 526: A bloody battle
Standing high in the sky, Susan looked down.

"Is it my turn to find out where the person is now?"

She found this very novel. Her ability was invisibility, and she was looking for traces of her opponent in the endless yellow sand.

In fact, it's not that Susan's shadow clone can't leave together, but when Susan can't find Harry's trace, she is wrapped in yellow sand and indirectly reveals herself. Maintaining the existence of the shadow clone is just a waste of energy.

It would be better to work together to send yourself up to the sky where the yellow sand cannot reach.

After all, although she is almost a perpetual motion machine because of her [self-healing factor], the same is not true for her shadow clones. When their chakra is exhausted or they die, the information shock brought about by their death is a huge distraction for her in the duel.

In the yellow sand, Harry was also very shocked.

He inherited the [Power of Shukaku] and his chakra has the characteristics of sealing techniques.

The barrier he created not only had high pressure from the refined yellow sand, but also caused stagnation in the use of chakra.

However, Susan managed to escape from this double pressure and seemed to be doing it with ease without expending too much energy.

The feeling of pressing on the barrier she had erected was like pressing on a tough, soapy cowhide bag; it was so slippery that there was no way to exert any force.

If Susan knew Harry's surprise, she would definitely say that this was the application of mechanics.

And now she was also very surprised.

Because Harry did not blend into the yellow sand and hide his figure as she thought.

On the contrary, a sand giant even bigger than the one Neville transformed into appeared in the venue.
He reached out to grab Susan in the air, and dense runes began to appear on the giant hand in the yellow sand.

Susan pulled off her belt, "Lightning Release: Super Vibrato Lightning Release Blade!"

Dozens of meters of white silk cut through the air and cut off the giant hand.

how come!
Harry was so shocked that the sand disappeared wherever the knife flashed.

It's not like a fallen severed hand that temporarily loses its senses.

But it truly disappeared without a trace.

In shock, the Sand Giant's root-like legs continued to spread downwards, turning the soil and rocks it touched into sand.

The lost sand was replenished in an instant, with nearly ten tons more.

But Harry, who was hiding in the left arm of the Slayer Titan, did not smile.

Because most of the yellow sand that had just been lost came from his gourd, which was refined with chakra over the years.

And now.
The broken right arm of the sand giant transformed into a beast-shaped [Sand Puppet] that kept rushing into the sky, all of which were made of the yellow sand he had collected on the spot.

The sand in the gourd was tightly wrapped around his body.

Assisting him to continuously produce new yellow sand to make up for the sand lost by the constantly flashing knife light.

"Dust Release?" The Third Tsuchikage frowned.

As a user of Dust Release, he could see that the sand did not disappear, but was cut into smaller particles that could not be captured by the naked eye.

It is too big to be manipulated as sand by the magnetic escape technique of that kid named Harry Potter.

“It’s Lightning Release.” The Fourth Raikage shook his head. “It’s the Thousand Forms of Strike, the Legacy of the Lost Age, a treasure made from the thunderbolt of a god named Zeus.”

In the stands.

Ninjas like Orian Black who could observe chakra had very ugly expressions.

"After using lightning techniques of this magnitude hundreds of times on a regular basis, there is not even the slightest depletion of chakra in the body!" Bella Black couldn't believe her eyes.

Draco, who had been crossing his arms and acting like the coolest guy, couldn't remain calm anymore.

With this recovery speed, could it be that Susan Stone has a similar ability to him, where her chakra can self-replicate and almost never deplete?

The most uneasy person was Harry himself.

Most of his chakra has now been consumed, but his opponent is still calm and composed.

"Susan's going to win," Katie said.

She thought it was obvious, as the giant had previously towered over the stands, casting a large shadow over them.

And now the sand giant has shrunk to the same height as the stands.

It was as if Susan was not chopping the [Sand Puppet], but was standing in the field, constantly chopping the giant's feet.

"I give up." Harry emerged from the left shoulder of the sand giant and raised his right hand.

There was no way out. Facing an opponent who was always at his peak and perfectly resisted all his attacks, he could only admit defeat.

The sand giant collapsed, and a large part of it fell into the nearly 100-meter-deep pit dug by Harry, and a part of it poured into the gourd behind him, condensing into a cork and automatically blocking the gourd mouth.

The referee looked even more sad than Harry.

He looked at the nearly 100-meter-deep pit and almost wanted to resign from his position as referee immediately.

Should we be thankful that Harry Potter from the Kingdom of Sand had the sense to not hollow out the foundation of the stands during the battle, causing the entire dueling arena to collapse?

He thought of this in a cheerful way and called over his companions who usually did civil engineering work with him.

"Earth Escape: Earthquake Core!"
The ground was lifted and the stands shook.

Three minutes later.

The deep pit disappeared and the duel arena was successfully repaired.

The referee took a dozen chakra-replenishing pills with shaking hands and said, "Barty Crouch vs. Pansy Parkinson!"

(Pansy: "Oh, I beat Barty Crouch?")
(Barty Crouch Sr. is the former Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.)
(Barty Crouch Jr. is a genius Death Eater.)
(And she was an ordinary sixth-year student at Hogwarts. The only thing that was unusual about her was that she was one of Badger Granger's girlfriends.)
The familiar name helped Ron get over the disappointment of Harry's loss to Susan and turn his attention to the game.

(Harry noticed Ron's expression and felt warm inside. How foolish! That was just me in another world. How could I regard him as more important than my teammates?)
"Oh, this woman is crazy!"

Pansy's action startled Ron.

Because she tore off her right hand and threw it to the other side.

There was no blood splattered on the cut surface, as if she was made of plasticine.

The right hand in mid-air continued to expand, the bones pierced through the flesh and took root on the paved stone ground, forming a bone tree.

The flesh and blood turned into fruit on the bone tree, and the veins were bulging and throbbing continuously.

Pansy, who had lost her hand, sat down directly, forming a seal with her remaining left hand and closing her eyes.

"Pansy Parkinson is Minerva Gryffindor's apprentice. She inherited her [Mark of the Immortal], the terrifying immortality." Yale explained to Ron, "Now she is suppressing the activity of her own cross section and transferring it to the nearby bone tree."

"Control puppets to fight." On the field.

A fruit that stopped beating suddenly grew a mouth out of thin air.

After it opened, a white human body covered in mucus, without facial features or genitals, fell out.

The mouth on the fruit closed again and began to move again.

This seemed to trigger some mechanism.

Soon, white raindrops fell on the ground like rain.

Guji Guji
The creepy sound of human bodies breaking free from the slime and struggling to get up from the slime-covered ground began to be heard in a regular pattern.

The featureless face turned to the opposite side, where Barty Crouch was.

boom--

The ground cracked and bursts of gas explosions echoed throughout the venue.

The faceless puppet disappeared from the spot out of thin air, and when it reappeared, it appeared next to Barty Crouch.

Surround it and jump up.

Barty Crouch, wearing a black eye mask, stretched his hand to his spine, "Corpse Vein: Dance of the Wire Flower!"

Crouch's spine was separated from his body with a splatter of blood and spinal fluid.

After losing the spine, the body lost support and seemed to collapse, and the hand holding the spine seemed to be trying to find balance and swung forward.
All these actions happened in an instant.

(To wizards who did not cast the [Super Sense Spell], it seemed that Barty Crouch suddenly had a long whip in his hand, and his body twisted like dancing, swinging the whip while maintaining his center of gravity and balance at all kinds of incredible angles.)
(At the same time, long spears and spiked whips grew out from the joints, skewering the faceless puppets that had also appeared like skewers. Then, they flew far away due to inertia and landed heavily on the wall, creating irregular dents.)
A new batch of faceless puppets rushed towards Crouch again.

As for the previous batch, the faceless puppets scattered around the venue and embedded in the walls and their limbs melted like wax and gathered together.

A larger faceless puppet emerged from it.

dong dong dong-

The huge stature also brought about huge movement.

Dust rolled and rocks flew everywhere.

The faceless giant ignored the newly born smaller companions around him who were attacking Crouch, and directly swung his huge fist to hit Crouch.

In the stands.

Ron, who had erected a green barrier to engulf the flying rocks and even the body of the faceless puppet, looked pale. "Their fighting style is so disgusting."

With his senses surpassing those of ordinary people, he can capture details such as the nerves in the spine, flesh and blood, and broken skin.

There are also those faceless puppets that look like humans but are not human, which makes people feel ashamed.
He began to be thankful that his opponent was just an ordinary pervert controlling a puppet in the appearance of an old woman.

If he hadn't experienced bloody, body-splattering battles in the superhero world, he would probably be vomiting now.

(Most of the wizarding world thinks this is fine.)
(Because both the faceless puppet and Crouch's movements were beyond their visual range.)
(From their perspective, faceless puppets suddenly appeared, were defeated, merged, and then the giant faceless puppet attacked, and was cut by the bone whip that turned into a giant machete like cutting butter, repeating the above steps over and over again.)
(Only the bone tree and the faceless puppet look creepy.)
(Barty Crouch's fight was a delight to watch, his body was as soft as boneless, and he moved his body in various graceful movements that ordinary people could not do, with a hint of bloodiness in his elegance.)
Yale explained, "This is how the Corpse Vein fights. The Crouch family can freely manipulate bone bud cells and osteoclasts, and can even control the concentration of calcium to form bones. At the same time, the body also has a nearly immortal healing ability."

"As a result, their bones are extremely dense and harder than steel."

"Lost bones and injuries can also be restored instantly."

"When he fights an opponent with the same level of recovery, it's natural that it will be like this, extremely bloody."

at the moment.

The faceless giant in the venue is as tall as the stands.

Crouch had stopped dancing and sat cross-legged on the ground like Pansy.

The bone forest around him that grew from the ground and kept changing its shape was used to deal with the endless influx of faceless puppets. It held up a bone shield with countless sharp blades, defending itself while dismembering the giant's limbs.

The white clay-like flesh and blood dropped by the faceless giant is no longer confined to human form, but has evolved into various forms, such as snakes, foxes, tigers, bees, and owls.
Trying to break through the gaps in the bone forest and reach Crouch himself.

The faceless giant stopped where he was and his body began to disintegrate.

It is obvious that after the gigantic strategy failed, Pansy is ready to adopt other tactics.

"Wouldn't that be more troublesome?" Ron asked. "I mean, it would take a lot of effort to control these puppets of different shapes and sizes."

"I have learned about this technique," Yale shook his head. "They are similar to shadow clones and have their own combat logic. Our genes store all the information about our evolution from single-celled organisms to the present, including the instinct to survive and fight in the form of mice, birds, insects, and even trees."

"The caster only needs to select an opponent for the spell and conduct macro control by himself."

"This actually saves more effort, it's like having hundreds of different kinds of psychic beasts."

within the venue.

Crouch was sitting cross-legged when bone spurs suddenly grew on his joints, breaking through his flesh and skin, exposing them to the air.

The bone forest growing from the ground stretched toward the bone spurs and connected together.

Crouch's body was held up in the air by bone spurs and bone forests. While they were resisting the white puppets of various shapes, they were entangled together and finally wrapped up Crouch at the center without leaving any gaps.

When everyone expanded their attention to the whole, a huge human figure made of bones appeared in place.

Green balls of light flew out from the center and landed on the giant's joints.

Stutter, stutter, stutter
The skeleton giant began to move his body, becoming more and more flexible.

The white puppets that existed in various forms turned into a white clay-like state and rushed towards the white bone tree at the edge, swallowing up Pansy next to it, forming a huge egg with blue veins that kept bulging.

The ninjas in the stands have already prepared their seals, ready to reinforce the stands at any time.

It was obvious that the battle had reached its end and the winner would be decided between the two giants.

"This is puppetry!" Kang Porter suddenly shouted.

His eyes were fixed on the skeleton giant.

Although he used Nick Flamel's puppets, he also had his own works.

Being well versed in puppetry, he could see that the skeleton giant's structure simply could not allow it to move so flexibly.

The combination logic of each limb is consistent with the structural theory of puppetry, but at the same time it goes against the logic of a normal puppeteer controlling puppets.

"Puppetry that doesn't require chakra threads~" Kang Porter said in a dreamy voice, "This is simply an innovation in puppetry."

He thought of the green ball of light that had just appeared and sank into the joints of the skeleton giant.

Orlan Black, who was not far away, heard Kang Porter's words and curled his lips. "This is not something that can be summarized by mere puppetry. This is the ability of the [Reincarnation Eye], the art of the immortal."
