I'm in the Dragon Clan, bound to the Naruto Counterattack System

Chapter 174 Breaking Through the Dustless Land

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

The sound of water droplets falling on the worn tiles could be clearly heard in the quiet subway station, and the faint sounds of rodents could be heard in the distance.

Percy gently placed his hand on the hilt of the "Augustus" sword at his waist, and looked around warily.

He clearly remembered that he and Cheng Sui entered the subway station from an underground shopping mall. Logically, this should be the second underground level, so why was there a dripping sound?

Moreover, Cheng Sui disappeared the moment he entered this strange space.

Percy pressed his palm against the cold tile surface, observing his surroundings in the dim light.

It felt as if I had traveled back to the 1980s, with an ancient and damp atmosphere in the air, like a cellar that had been sealed off for a long time.

In fact, if Percy had observed it himself, he would have discovered that there were many funnels in the world he lived in, such as a wall suddenly becoming illusory or a floor suddenly starting to twist.

After all, Cheng Sui has not yet mastered Tsukuyomi. This genjutsu world he has constructed based on his understanding of Sharingan genjutsu is currently very unstable.

But Percy, bewildered by suddenly finding himself in an unfamiliar space, didn't notice these details.

Percy instinctively reached for his alchemical equipment, trying to activate the devices the Gattuso family had prepared for him, but without exception, they all malfunctioned.

It was as if an invisible force had isolated everything from this world. Pasi could sense that even the elements here were dead, so the alchemical equipment engraved with the matrix was malfunctioning.

This is Nibelungen.

Percy had read the records of the Gattuso family and knew about the existence of the Nibelungen, so he quickly deduced this conclusion.

But why did Cheng Sui lure him into Nibelungen, and where did he himself go?

This elite executive of the Gattuso family showed no sign of panic; years of training had enabled him to remain absolutely calm even in the most extreme circumstances.

He slowly drew the black hunting knife "Augustus" from his waist, its blade gleaming faintly in the void of darkness.

Just as he was fully focused on guarding his surroundings, a voice rang out behind him without warning.

Why did you come here?

The voice was hoarse and deep, as if it had been processed through some medium, making it impossible to discern the age or emotion.

Percy's pupils suddenly contracted.

With his heightened senses, he was completely unaware that someone had appeared behind him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Percy whirled around, his "Augustus" tracing a deadly arc, whistling through the air as it slashed straight at the source of the sound.

This strike was swift and precise. Percy used the technique of the Ottoman Shesh scimitar, a technique that even an ordinary person could easily use to cut a mad bison in half, let alone a hybrid like him.

Percy was confident that even a third-generation genus would only dare to avoid the edge of this attack.

However, there was no tactile sensation of the blade striking something.

The figure floated backward like a ghost, easily avoiding the fatal blow.

Taking advantage of the opening created by the swing of the knife, Percy finally saw what the other person looked like.

The man wore a long robe with a black background and red clouds, and an orange swirling mask on his face. Only his right eye revealed a bottomless hole, from which a faint red light flickered, making him appear somewhat eerie.

"Who are you?"

"Pasi asked coldly, holding "Augustus" across his chest in a defensive stance.

A low, sneer came from beneath the mask. The masked man said disdainfully, "Does the master intend to announce his identity to guests who have intruded into his home?"

Owner?

Percy felt a chill run down his spine.

Nibelungen is a realm created by the dragons with their spirit and power, and its master can only be a dragon king!

Could it be that behind Cheng Sui stands a resurrected Dragon King? Or perhaps Cheng Sui himself is—

Before Percy could think it through, the mysterious man wearing an orange swirling mask made his move first.

Cheng Sui quickly formed several complex hand seals in front of his chest, a posture that Percy had never seen in any record of martial arts or incantations.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The next second, a huge fireball with a diameter of more than five meters erupted from outside the mask, carrying scorching air waves and destructive heat, instantly illuminating the entire dark space, and roaring towards Percy.

A scorching wind swept over them, and Parsey's golden hair even began to curl slightly in the high temperature.

His pupils contracted sharply, and without thinking, he pushed the power of his dragon bloodline to its limit, rolling to the side to dodge the fireball the moment it landed.

boom!

The enormous fireball slammed into the spot where he had just been standing, unleashing astonishing power.

The ground shook violently, rocks melted into crimson magma, and the entire space was distorted by the intense heat.

Percy looked at the lava field with lingering fear, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

What kind of incantation is this, Junyan?

But he had never seen anyone spew out Junyan like a fireball. What kind of monster was this?

Before he could catch his breath, the figure wearing the vortex mask was already close in again.

A ball of rapidly spinning blue lightning appeared in his hand, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, like countless birds screaming.

"Chidori".

The masked man whispered something and pressed the dangerous blue orb hard against Percy's chest.

Percy felt a deadly sense of crisis engulf him, and he held "Augustus" horizontally in front of him to block.

clang!

The instant the lightning collided with the blade, an unparalleled rotating force erupted.

Percy felt a tremendous force coming from the blade, and his tiger's mouth was instantly ripped open, bleeding profusely.

"Augustus" almost slipped from his grasp, and he was blasted backward by the force, crashing heavily into a distant rock wall.

"puff----"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Percy's mouth, and he felt as if his internal organs had been ripped apart.

too strong.

They are not even in the same league as the opponent.

Both the eerie flames and the destructive lightning were beyond his comprehension.

The masked man gave him no chance to catch his breath. In a flash, a long Japanese sword appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the darkness.

The masked man's swordsmanship was sharp and ancient, each strike aimed directly at Percy's vitals.

Percy could only rely on his fighting instincts to wield "Augustus" to barely defend himself, but he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

His opponent's swordsmanship was far superior to his own; with each clash of swords, his arm went numb, and the injury to his tiger's mouth worsened.

He was completely suppressed.

This mysterious masked man was like an insurmountable mountain, making him feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

No, if this continues, I'll surely die!

A resolute glint flashed in Percy's eyes.

He let out a low growl, like a wild beast preparing to fight back, and an invisible force suddenly erupted from him.

"Word of Power: A Dustless Land!"

A semi-transparent area instantly unfolded and rapidly expanded in all directions.

Wherever the domain passed, all matter marked by Pasi was absolutely repelled, forming a perfect vacuum sphere with a diameter of ten meters.

This is Percy's Word of Power, and also his absolute defense that he is confident he can remain invincible.

He believed he was absolutely safe within this area.

However, what happened next completely shattered his pride and confidence.

Seeing the rapidly expanding repulsion zone, the masked man did not retreat; instead, he stopped and stood outside the boundary of the "Dustless Land."

Cheng Sui looked at Pasi across the realm of the Dustless Land and gently touched the edge of the Dustless Land.

Cheng Suineng could clearly feel an invisible wall of air appear in front of him, and this wall was constantly expanding outwards.

Cheng Sui stared at Percy, his voice hoarse from the mask's voice-changing system: "Do you think this level of incantation can withstand the Dragon King's attack?"

Percy's expression remained unchanged. His long-term training had enabled him to remain calm in any situation, and he would not believe the other party's one-sided story.

Across the dust-free space, Percy and Cheng Sui looked at each other, pondering their next solution.

But then Percy's calm expression vanished without a trace.

Under Percy's gaze, Cheng Sui's eye, which was exposed outside the mask, turned blood red, and three tomoe, exuding an ominous aura, slowly appeared in the masked man's eye.

But the changes continued; the three tomoe in the masked man's eyes spun continuously, eventually merging into a black pattern shaped like a shuriken.

Then, the masked man who called himself the Dragon King walked step by step toward the boundary of the "Dustless Land".

To Pasi's horrified gaze, his body actually passed right through the barrier that repelled all matter and life!

The masked man's body became somewhat ethereal, as if it did not belong to this dimension.

He crossed the boundary of the "Dustless Land" with ease and entered this area that should have been absolutely safe.

The color drained from Percy's face; this scene shattered the worldview he had built over the past two decades.

Cheng Sui's figure became real in front of Parsi after appearing in a blur.

He looked at the blond youth in front of him who had lost all fighting spirit, and simply raised his fist, delivering a heavy punch to Percy's horrified face.

boom!

A dull thud echoed within the area.

Before Percy could even let out a scream, he fell backward and instantly lost consciousness.

Cheng Sui deliberately controlled his strength to ensure that the shock wouldn't damage his brain. Otherwise, if he killed Percy, the Gattuso family would definitely keep pestering him to the death. Cheng Sui didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. Looking at Percy, who was lying on the ground unconscious, Cheng Sui couldn't help but feel sorry for this twin of Caesar.

Percy thought he would be safe once he opened the Dustless Land, but he never expected that Cheng Sui would not confront him head-on. Kamui's ability to become intangible is a kind of space ninjutsu, which can temporarily transfer the body to another dimension, thus ignoring all physical attacks and barriers.

Using it to deal with spatial-type incantations is like a dimensional reduction attack.

The dust-free realm dissipated in an instant, and the surrounding dust resumed its flow.

Just as Cheng Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire Nibelungen suddenly began to shake violently, the ground beneath their feet cracked open into deep ravines, and countless boulders fell from the rock walls overhead.

A terrifying dragon's might, mixed with endless rage, descended from the depths. This pressure was so vast and boundless that it seemed the entire world trembled under its fury.

Cheng Sui suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction from which the dragon's might was coming.

In the distance, at the edge of darkness, a petite figure slowly emerged.

She had long, smooth chestnut hair and was wearing the uniform of a preparatory class in the capital.

However, her eyes, which should have been clear and bright, were now burning with a blazing, molten gold-like flame.

Xia Mi.

The true master of the Nibelungen has finally arrived.

Her golden eyes traversed vast distances, locking onto the orange vortex mask on Cheng Sui's face.
