Chapter 70 Three Crows

Fugaku quickly formed hand seals and took a deep breath.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" He suddenly spat out a huge fireball, which roared as it charged towards the guards ahead.

The fireball drew a bright arc in the air, instantly engulfing a large group of guards.

Fugaku slowly exhaled. Although these guards had low combat power, the chakra they consumed wave after wave was real.

"Since this is a tower, our goal is clear," Orochimaru said, looking around with a glint in his eyes. "The top of the tower is our destination."

Fugaku's expression turned grave: "That guy who calls himself Gerald is probably waiting for us there."

"Just what I wanted," Orochimaru said with a slight upturn of his lips. "I'd like to see what this so-called 'master' is capable of."

Before the words were finished, another series of orderly footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor. A new batch of guards, armed, approached them with heavy steps.

A cold glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. He swiftly formed hand seals and whispered a command.

"Summoning Ninja Art: Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth, and in an instant, countless venomous snakes gushed out of it like a gushing spring. The swarm of snakes was so dense that it blotted out the sky, resembling a living waterfall cascading in all directions.

"Attack! Attack!!!" the guard captain shouted, his voice filled with barely concealed fear.

The guards raised their wands, and beams of multicolored magic shot towards the snakes.

However, these attacks were utterly futile against the overwhelming swarm of snakes. In the blink of an eye, the guards were swallowed up by the sea of ​​snakes, letting out mournful screams.

As the final scream faded into the hissing of the snakes, the swarm surged into the surrounding labyrinthine passageways and quickly dispersed.

At the same time, Orochimaru formed hand seals again, a focused glint in his eyes.

Instantly, countless images flooded his mind. Through the perspective of the snakes, Orochimaru immediately obtained every route of the surrounding passage.

"This way," Orochimaru said in a low voice, gesturing for Fugaku to follow.

Fugaku nodded, and the two quickly slipped into a dark passage. They moved lightly, slowed their breathing, and tried not to make any noise.

Soon, they came to a fork in the road. Orochimaru, without hesitation, chose the left path. Fugaku followed closely behind.

The moment they stepped into the new passage, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from their right. The sound grew louder as it approached, clearly the sound of a group of guards passing by.

"What a convenient ninjutsu," Fugaku said as he ran, his tone tinged with admiration. "As expected of you, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly: "This is just a basic skill," he replied in a low voice. "In this environment, perception is more important."

The two continued along the passage, which gradually became steeper, indicating that they were climbing higher into the tower.

Behind them, pairs of hidden eyes kept appearing in the passageway, staring intently at Orochimaru and Fugaku.

Meanwhile, in the room at the top of the tower.

Gerald was intently watching the two figures reflected in the crystal ball.

In the air in front of him, images flashed one after another, clearly showing the scene of Orochimaru and Fugaku forming hand seals.

Gerald narrowed his eyes, a hint of interest in his voice: "Interesting. Instead of a magic circle, you use hand seals to manipulate magic? I've heard that people did this in ancient times, I didn't expect there would still be such a tradition now."

The woman standing to the side asked, "Why not just mobilize the surrounding guards to surround and wipe them out?"

Gerald did not answer immediately, but instead walked slowly to a chessboard.

Five pieces are placed on the chessboard. Two of them are miniature Orochimaru and Fugaku, while the other side has Geralt's piece, with three other pieces guarding it.

He gently stroked the chess piece, a smile playing on his lips. "Ikaruga, you must understand, since it's a game, it can't be so simple and crude. Otherwise, it'll be too boring, won't it?"

With that, Gerald picked up two chess pieces and placed them in front of the pieces representing Orochimaru and Fugaku.

A glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes: "Let's see how far they can get!"

-

Orochimaru and Fugaku were cautiously advancing through the passage when suddenly, a loud burst of music erupted. The extremely jarring melody echoed through the narrow passage, as if tearing the air apart.

Above the passage hangs a sign for the second level.

"This is..." Fugaku frowned and whispered, but his voice was almost drowned out by the music.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, unconsciously licked his lips, and walked forward.

The passageway suddenly opened up, and an extremely spacious circular room appeared before them.

In the very center of the room, a man with long, flowing hair stood with his back to them, and deafening music blared from him.

The next second, the man slowly turned around, and Fugaku and Orochimaru's eyes widened instantly.

His messy black hair hung down to his waist, his face was covered with exaggerated white paint, his eyes were heavily smoky black, and his lips were painted bright red.

He was wearing a leather jacket covered in spikes and holding an oversized electric guitar.

The man suddenly threw his head back and let out a sharp, piercing scream. He stuck out his tongue, his eyes flashing with madness.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Guests! Welcome to the Hellish Concert!" he shouted in a hoarse, manic voice. "Are you ready?!"

Orochimaru and Fugaku involuntarily took a step back; even they felt a little uncomfortable in the face of this bizarre scene.

"Listen up, you scum!" The man slammed his guitar strings, producing a piercing din. "This time, the lead singer is Vidarudas from the Assassination Guild's Three Crows!!"

"An assassination guild?" Orochimaru's tone carried a hint of wariness.

"That's right, pretty boy!" Vidarudas grinned, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

"Don't compare me to those useless, childish guilds out there! I've already taken dozens of lives from my guild's mages! Each one was sent to hell with music!"

Upon hearing "dozens of lives," Orochimaru and Fugaku exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly becoming quite subtle.

Vidarudas noticed their reaction and was instantly enraged. He gritted his teeth and roared, "You don't believe me? Well, I'll show you!"

Vidarudas frantically strummed the guitar strings, the piercing noise echoing throughout the room.

His gaze swept back and forth between Orochimaru and Fugaku, a sinister smile twisting his lips.

"Which one should we choose? The moment of choice has arrived for the demons of hell!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Orochimaru and Fugaku instantly sensed the danger and reacted almost simultaneously.

Orochimaru strode forward abruptly and shouted, "Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

In an instant, dozens of venomous snakes darted out from his sleeves and pounced on Vidarudas like arrows released from a bow.

At the same time, Fugaku's fingers moved rapidly, forming a complex hand seal: "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

However, the moment the two launched their attack, Vidarudas suddenly pointed his finger at Fugaku.

"It's you!" he roared with maniacal laughter, his eyes gleaming with madness. "Rock Nightmare!"

Ong!

Before he finished speaking, a purplish-black magic circle instantly appeared on the guitar.

A strange melody burst forth from his guitar. The sound waves swept towards Fugaku as if they were tangible, and invisible ripples seemed to ripple through the air.
