Why is my anime art style so weird?

Kimimaro, in his skeletal form, roared to the heavens with a deafening howl.

His bones trembled with each roar, producing a continuous cracking sound.

He suddenly lowered his body and buried his head deeply, in a posture somewhat like a dogeza (a traditional Chinese Buddhist form of kneeling in meditation).

Xu Mingzheng felt somewhat puzzled.

suddenly!

Kimimaro, in his skeletal form, pushed off with his hind legs, and the skeletal monster he had transformed into immediately began to spin at high speed like a wheel, charging towards Xu Ming and the others!

These wheels are even covered in spikes!

The bizarre design immediately reminded Xu Ming of the famous blue hedgehog from his childhood—Supersonic Sonic.

Asagami Fujino's eyes gleamed with a jewel-like light, and clusters of red and green light flashed around Kimimaro's body, leaving him covered in wounds.

Erina immediately transformed into her silver-haired form and erected another ice wall in front of everyone.

The ice wall had just risen when Kimimaro crashed into it head-on.

Squeak~!

The rapidly spinning bone spurs rubbed against the ice, producing a noise similar to that of a chainsaw.

In just a few seconds, the ice wall was cut in half.

Erina's demonic aura intensified, and a large amount of cold air surged into the ice wall, reinforcing and thickening it.

Large beads of sweat kept appearing on his smooth forehead, sliding down his fair skin.

Erina was already at her limit.

Left with no other choice, Xu Ming had to reveal one more card.

Twins from the other shore, judgment begins!

The crystal flower immediately flew from Xu Ming's chest into the sky, constantly changing between black and white, and finally turned into a white crystal flower that suddenly scattered, with white petals drifting down like snowflakes.

White petals fell on the shikigami, causing their aura to surge instantly.

Erina released even more cold air, and the ice wall began to thicken, forming a delicate balance with Kimimaro, who was spinning at high speed like a chainsaw.

Xu Ming didn't sit idly by either; he immediately picked up a crowbar and started pounding on Kimimaro, who was in a stalemate.

The 'force stacking' effect quickly reached its limit.

Five, four... one! *Bang!*

The combined immense power immediately erupted from Kimimaro's body.

His skeletal monster form was sent flying as if punched by an invisible iron fist, smashing through several rock pillars.

call!

Xu Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Unable to use his ultimate trump card, Kimimaro put considerable pressure on him.

"Xu Ming, is he dead?"

Haruyuki Arita asked cautiously.

Kimimaro, now in the form of a skeletal monster, looked pitiful, with most of his bones broken, lying motionless on the rock wall.

However, after observing carefully, Xu Ming shook his head.

He hasn't even started to turn to ashes yet; he's still a long way from being purified.

"Don't stop, keep attacking!"

Under Xu Ming's command, Erina and Asagami Fujino launched another attack.

For a moment, Kimimaro's body was constantly flashing with red and green light clusters and blue and white lightning, as if he were covered with neon lights.

After a while, Erina seemed to think that wasn't enough, so she switched to her blonde hair form, grabbed with both hands, and gathered a huge fireball in one hand, which she then threw at Kimimaro.

boom!

Flames shot into the sky, and a violent explosion resounded throughout the underground cave, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Erina, however, excitedly summoned two more large fireballs and threw them at Kimimaro.

Xu Ming stood aside and secretly observed that when Erina threw fireballs, the corners of her mouth would involuntarily curl to the left into a '√' shape, clearly showing an expression of great pleasure.

Could this girl be a hidden vandal...?

Thinking of this, Xu Ming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After a while, Xu Ming noticed something was wrong.

The two of them had been attacking relentlessly for some time, but Kimimaro lay motionless on the ground, as if he were dead.

He allowed the twisting force to leave one hideous wound after another on his body, while flames continued to scorch his flesh.

Xu Ming suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and quickly picked up his phone.

Just as he pointed the camera at Kimimaro.

A large amount of black mist suddenly erupted from Kimimaro's body.

Xu Ming's expression changed slightly.

These are all high concentrations of negative energy!

Roar!

Before anyone could react, a roar suddenly came from within the black mist.

The sound echoed continuously in the underground cave, as if it were about to shatter one's eardrums.

A short while later, the black mist dissipated, revealing an even more terrifying monster.

It was a giant centipede with its entire body made of white bones, two sharp horns that looked like ivory, and a body length of over fifty meters!

What kind of monster is this?!

Xu Ming was dumbfounded.

Ibiki Morino only mentioned that there were monsters released by Orochimaru in the underground laboratory, but he didn't say that they were such terrifying things!

This is a grave dereliction of duty for an intelligence officer!

Xu Ming quickly forgot about his internal monologue about Morino Ibiki, that unreliable scarred-faced guy.

Click!

The centipede's hundreds of legs, all made of bone, began to tremble together, emitting a strange noise.

Then the white-boned centipede suddenly raised its head and rushed towards the crowd!

"careful!"

Haruyuki Arita immediately pulled Xu Ming aside.

Erina and Asagami Fujino also dodged.

Chapter 443 The Third Stage

In an instant, everyone was chased around in a chaotic frenzy, barely managing to escape the terrifying onslaught of the skeletal centipede.

The white-boned centipede slammed violently against the rock wall.

The immense force smashed a large hole in the rock wall, causing the entire cave to shake.

Just when Xu Ming thought the white bone centipede would turn around immediately, it actually dug through the rock wall and burrowed inside.

Soon, the enormous body of the white bone centipede completely disappeared into the rock wall.

This thing can even burrow into the ground!?

What kind of cutting-edge technology did Orochimaru possess that allowed him to create such a monster?!

Moreover, Orochimaru was active decades ago, when even genetic technology didn't exist.

How did he create this genetically modified monster? By hand?

Xu Ming felt extremely puzzled.

Just as he was lost in thought, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

"not good!"

Haruyuki Arita suddenly yelled, then disregarded everything and spread his wings, whooshing as he carried Xu Ming to the top of the cave to hide.

The two had just left the spot.

Whoosh!

The spot where they had been standing suddenly sank, and then an incredibly grotesque centipede head emerged from the ground.

If Tian Chunxue had arrived even a second later, the two of them might already be the white-boned centipede's meal.

Next, the white-boned centipede began to burrow in and out of the soil, launching a surprise attack on Xu Ming and the others from underground.

Xu Ming and the others had to listen carefully to the sounds underground while the white bone centipede burrowed into the ground, and then dodge the attack based on the sounds.

Rumble!

The white-boned centipede emerged from the ground again, and everyone quickly took cover.

Fortunately, the white-boned centipede was too large and extremely difficult to maneuver.

After dodging its attack, everyone launched a counterattack.

In an instant, fireballs exploded on the white bone centipede's body, red and green light balls flashed continuously, and occasionally crowbars would extend from the void and smash into the white bone centipede's body.

However, when these attacks landed on the white bone centipede, they only knocked off a few bones at most. This damage was like scraping a finger to the white bone centipede.

Despite this, Xu Ming remained calm throughout.

Suddenly, the white bone centipede's speed dropped drastically; the '50% slowdown' had taken effect!

Xu Ming's eyes lit up; the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"Stop it!"

Xu Ming shouted, then immediately pointed his phone at the white-boned centipede and pressed the shutter button.
