The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 157

(No wonder he's a top student of [Chiranong]!)

The appearance of the bone dragon instantly attracted Lilynet's attention. The priestess gritted her teeth and released a fourth-tier faith-based amplification spell, further enhancing the angels' strength.

Clementine, who was watching the play, also started to move. When he was weak, he witnessed the death of his friend. After being captured, he was tortured for several days and endured the pain of having red-hot torture instruments pierced his body.

On this magical continent where healing and resurrection magic exist, the amount of happiness magic brings is equal to the amount of suffering it generates.

Driven by her tenacious will to survive and her hatred for her abusers, Clementine managed to live and eventually escape.

After that, he kept getting stronger and then turned around and killed all the people who had hurt and tormented him, developing a fetish for slaughtering humans and intimidating the weak.

After all, torturing and killing the weak is a truly delightful thing.

Because he went too far, he was expelled from the Black Scripture, the strongest of the six-colored scriptures in the Slane Theocracy. After escaping the theocracy, he joined the Chranon.

Commissioned by Kajit, who also has a theocracy background, to find a host who can wear the "Wise One's Crown" stolen from the priestess princess of the theocracy, and thus control the army of the dead.

With Kajit's own abilities, even with the Death Orb, controlling a little over 150 undead would be the limit. However, the more powerful magical item, the [Wise Man's Crown], allows the wearer to control thousands of undead.

This allowed Kajit's plan to transform [Ye Rantier] into a realm of the dead and hold the magical ritual [Spiral of Death] to proceed more smoothly.

(If one becomes a more powerful undead, then one can resurrect one's mother as an undead who is immune to birth, aging, sickness, and death, and retains her original consciousness!)

Kajit silently recited this in his mind, while his gaze fell upon the angels who were locked in battle with the bone dragon.

He glanced at Clementine, who was already closing in on Uchiha Muan, and raised his hand to unleash the third-tier magic [Flame of the Dead] and [Negative Ray], breaking through the defenses of the two energy angels before being killed in succession by the skeletal warrior and the bone dragon.

The Archangel appeared just in time, blocking the undead's advance. The crumbling angelic defenses made Lilynet frown.

(This old guy is really troublesome.)

With her magic power nearly depleted, Lilynet's expression turned serious. She took out a recovery potion from her ninja tool backpack and began fighting while on a drug.

With Uchiha Takeoshi's backing and expensive recovery potions, the three women of the [Four Weapons] have no shortage of resources.

Having accumulated five years of negative energy, Kajit was also fearless in consuming magic power.

Gradually, the priestess of the faith faction and the necromancer of the necromancer faction became locked in a battle of attrition.

The two would replenish whatever angels and undead were consumed, and various buff spells would be added one after another.

However, compared to Kajit's decades of magical foundation, Lilynet, who mainly relies on equipment, is inferior to Kajit in both the quantity and application of magic, and failure is only a matter of time.

Lilynet was not discouraged. Her young master, Wu'an, knew her own limitations perfectly well.

The purpose of this battle is to learn from the experience and become stronger.

With limited talent, she couldn't become a big fat person overnight.

Four magic orbs appeared behind Uchiha Wu'an, each representing one of the four elements of a profession. The novel magic made Clementine pause, and then her body shimmered with the brilliance of martial arts.

"Martial Arts Skills/Abilities Increased!"

The increase in her physical abilities boosted Clementine's speed considerably. Just as her deep, arrogant laughter reached Uchiha Muan's ears, the woman pulled out an enchanted short cone tucked behind her back—

This is a stabbing weapon, an expensive magical weapon made primarily of mithril and coated with orchardite. It is imbued with the magic of [Magic Accumulation], capable of being infused with magic up to the third tier.

"Fifth-tier magic - Magic Barrier!"

Three of the four colored orbs lit up, forming a magic circle about three meters in diameter, which also protected Lilynet.

Click!

A crisp sound echoed all around. Clementine watched as the magical barrier, which had cracked but then instantly returned to normal, did not linger in the fight. With a few leaps, she reached a safe zone.

(Three of the four orbs light up. While the barrier is being repaired, one of the three lit orbs goes dark, and the last one lights up.)

(Is it a continuously looping magical protective shield?)

Having found his answer, Clementine looked at the two hiding in their turtle shell with extreme displeasure, a cruel smile on his face. "Is this what you're so confident about?"

"I'm going to break through this tortoise shell, and then use a flail to shatter every bone in your body, piece by piece!"

Uchiha Muan remained silent, simply beckoning to Clementine. His contemptuous attitude instantly darkened the woman's face, and her beautiful features revealed a predatory expression.

His red eyes stared at Uchiha Wu'an, and he lowered his body, pressing his five fingers, clad in metal gauntlets, to the ground, assuming the stance of an athlete taking a running start.

The light of martial arts techniques flashed continuously on his body.

"Martial Arts Skills and Abilities Superbly Enhanced!"

His already strengthened physique was further enhanced.

"Martial Arts Technique: Flowing Water Acceleration!"

Further improve your own neural reaction speed, and enhance your attack speed and evasion ability.

"Martial Arts Technique: Super Evasion!"

"Martial Arts Technique: Swift Wind Breaker!"

The last martial skill is a unique skill he developed himself, which is also the basis for Clementine's entry into the realm of heroes. This self-created skill, which he is very proud of, can greatly increase his speed.

The moment his foot touched the ground, an upward airflow was generated. As fine cracks appeared on the ground, Clementine, in terms of speed alone, had already reached the realm of the extraordinary, which was also the level of the Kage!

With a soft pop, like a pen tip piercing paper, the tip of the enchanted short cone pierced the magical barrier in Clementine's excited and fervent gaze.

"Die!"

With a flick of her wrist, Clementine unleashed a blinding fireball from the enchanted short cone, which immediately erupted within the constantly regenerating magical barrier that was trying to push the enchanted short cone out.

"It's not over yet!"

Clementine then drew another enchanted short spear from her waist and, with lightning speed, inserted it into the previously pierced wound, followed by a burst of lightning magic!

In an instant, the magical elements of fire and lightning went berserk within the magical barrier!

The angels who were active outside also stopped what they were doing, and Kajit found an opportunity to kill them one by one.

Clementine, whose face was beaming with joy under the light of fire and lightning, suddenly froze, staring intently at the figure that was gradually emerging from within the barrier.

"Miss Clementine, if you only have these two or three moves, you're likely to meet a very tragic end."
