37 The Hell Road (1/2)

Ryu used Rankyaku, but this dark gold three-headed bat was very agile. It dodged Ryu's rankyaku easily.

”Bats aren't like other birds, they have a kind of keen ability that lets them easily grasp enemies' attacks, that's a special ability that not even spiritual force can influence. Unless the speed surpasses the limits of their reaction, it's very difficult to injure them.”

”I will use a combination of Geppo and Soru”

Kamisori A combination of Geppo and Soru. Ryu used Soru in a zigzag motion in midair, allowing extremely fast movements in three dimensions.

”Eat this” then he used Rankyaku. His rankyaku hit the bat's middle head. But a few moments later,Right now was just when that dark gold three-headed bat was complacent, the middle head had also just grown back. Just then it saw Ryu shoot out from under the path, charging straight at it.

”What should I do? Amaterasu couldn't hit an agile opponent. Wait….. blood” Ryu smiled. His hand became black.

”Gosenmaigawara Seiken” he punched the bat hard.

The bat was fallen. Ryu used Kamisori to chase it. Ryu appeared on top of the blood pool.

Yarinami (Spear Wave”): A technique used on a body of water's surface. Ryu heaved a spear-shaped burst of blood. This blood spear pierced the bat.

Then Ryu controlled the blood pool to form a giant snake. This blood giant snake rushed toward the fallen bat and bound it. The bat couldn't move.

”Bye Bye” Ryu's eyes became Mangekyo Sharingan. From his left eye, a blood appeared.

”Amaterasu” then the black flame covered.

”Enton Kagutsuchi” From his right eye, a blood appeared. then Ryu controlled the black flame to enter the bat internal organ from the location where the blood spear pierced the bat. The bat was burned. After that, he resumed his journey.

Just as he walked, suddenly, there was a rustling sound further ahead. Ryu had already seen the enemy. That was a pair of fiery red eyes. Just ahead on the narrow road crawled a deep red creature.

He couldn't clearly see the size of its body, but he could discover through simple observation that it should be a snake. A snake with its enormous body twisted around the narrow road.

Its eyes weren't especially large, but for some reason, Ryu immediately felt that the luster those eyes held was even more terrifying than the dark golden three-headed bat king from before.
