Second Herrscher Kazahana Koyuki: "An Emperor-class Honkai Beast, huh. That's already an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, a powerful Honkai Beast second only to a Judgment-class Honkai Beast. Anyone without some special traits wouldn't even have the qualifications to survive against it."
Minato Namikaze: "Since the one Rasa encountered is an Emperor-class, then that Thunderbird and the ones following the Herrschers might be Judgment-class Honkai Beasts."
Senju Hashirama: "Judgment-class Honkai Beast... Judgment... This power is the real deal!"
Senju Tobirama: "Stop sighing with emotion. Right now, I just want to know exactly what kind of strength this so-called Emperor-class Honkai Beast has!"
[ "Roar!!!"
The roar of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast was chilling.
And the lightning constantly bombarding the earth filled everyone with fear.
Even the most powerful Lightning Release couldn't achieve this kind of effect.
Not to mention, the power of Ninjutsu was inherently far inferior to the lightning found in nature.
Moreover, the lightning summoned by the Emperor-class Honkai Beast was augmented by Honkai Energy, making its power even more formidable!
Carrying terrifying energy, the lightning crashed into the earth, creating one molten zone after another in the Desert.
This was formed by the extreme heat accompanying the lightning, which crystallized the gravel before melting it down completely.
"My luck is truly terrible, running into the exact Honkai Beast I wanted to see the least. But at least I didn't run into that Thunderbird, which can be considered a blessing in disguise!"
Beneath the Desert, even though he had hidden as deep underground as possible...
...Rasa could already sense the terrifying energy continuously transmitting from above, penetrating deep into the earth!
If this continued, he would definitely be blasted out by that Honkai Beast!
To make matters worse, the special magnetic field generated by the Emperor-class Honkai Beast manipulating lightning strongly countered his Magnet Release, rendering his Gold Dust somewhat unresponsive.
"In that case, I can only increase the output." Rasa looked down at his continuously trembling left hand. "There's no time left for me to keep hesitating."
The Gold Dust above ground began to vibrate as a wave of Chakra mixed with dense Honkai Energy swept through.
Boom!
Instantly, the entire sea of sand began to boil once more, and its momentum was even more massive than before!
The Gold Dust atop the sea of sand transformed into a giant hand, slamming fiercely toward the Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
Boom!
The entire sea of sand seemed to quake.
And the figure of that Emperor-class Honkai Beast was buried within the Desert.
"Sand Waterfall Funeral!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Gold Dust covering the Emperor-class Honkai Beast continuously compressed inward, and the mound it formed steadily collapsed into the Desert.
Panting heavily, Rasa emerged from the Desert, his face showing not a hint of relief.
Capable of sensing the condition of the Gold Dust, he knew that the Honkai Beast he had temporarily Sealed was completely unharmed; it hadn't suffered a scratch!
However, Rasa's attention wasn't on this Honkai Beast at the moment. Instead, he looked toward the far more numerous Lower-class Honkai Beasts.
"Just a little more..."
At this time, due to the attacks from Rasa and the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, the entire beast herd had become somewhat scattered.
Many Lower-class Honkai Beasts had even died directly by the hands of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
If he could bait the Emperor-class Honkai Beast into attacking him, and then redirect those attacks onto the other Honkai Beasts to resolve this Beast Tide, that would arguably be the best outcome.
But the problem was, that was impossible.
Setting aside how much Chakra he had left in his body...
...the attacks of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast alone were not something he could easily dodge.
Such an action was tantamount to dancing on blades; a single misstep would doom him to eternal damnation!
Therefore, sticking to the original plan and luring the beast herd away from their original route was still the safest bet.
"Hopefully, I can hold on."
By now, Rasa's entire arm had lost all sensation, and its insides were completely riddled with holes.
This arm was already ruined!
Rumble~
Manipulating all the Gold Dust he could muster, Rasa created the largest commotion he possibly could, drawing the gaze of all the Honkai Beasts as much as possible!
"Come on, you monsters! Come chase me!"
Sure enough, the Honkai Beasts, lacking much intelligence, were mostly drawn to him.
They began chasing after Rasa.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Sand Waterfall Funeral Sealing the Emperor-class Honkai Beast emitted bursts of roaring. With every loud crash, the Sand Waterfall Funeral shuddered violently.
This powerful Sealing Jutsu, which, after being augmented by Honkai Energy, could practically Seal anything in the world, was shattered in less than half a minute.
"Roar!"
The furious roar of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast made Rasa, who was currently attracting the attention of the Honkai Beasts, turn his head.
Then, he saw the massive Emperor-class Honkai Beast stepping on the shattered golden rocks, roaring up at the sky!
Rumble~
As if in response, rolling thunder rumbled across the sky.
Looking at the continuously dancing lightning in the sky, an ominous premonition washed over Rasa.
"This is bad..."
Rumble~
In the next instant, lightning poured down like a torrential rain.
For a moment, within a radius of over a dozen kilometers, endless lightning connected the heavens and the earth! ]
Might Guy: "What a terrifying scene, it's just like a real apocalypse. Facing an attack of this magnitude, I'm afraid even a hundred Kakashis using Lightning Cutter probably wouldn't be able to intercept all this lightning, right?"
Hatake Kakashi: "???"
Hatake Kakashi's head was full of question marks.
No, what makes you think he even has the ability to intercept the lightning created by an Emperor-class Honkai Beast?
A: "This kind of attack is like facing the entire world itself. It's hard to imagine just how strong one has to be to deal with these Honkai Beasts!"
The ordinary citizens no longer cared.
Whatever happens, happens.
Anyway, they had realized that with so many Honkai Beasts, plus the even more terrifying Herrschers, they wouldn't survive no matter what. The only difference was dying early or dying later.
[ "That was close! Just a little more, and I would've been hit by that lightning!"
Sensing danger, Rasa immediately manipulated his Gold Dust to protect himself, forming a barrier to isolate the lightning.
But against the attack of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, a defense of this level was negligible.
Therefore, his main method was actually his old trick: hiding underground!
As long as he hid deep enough, the attacks wouldn't be able to reach him!
"But looking at it from another angle, quite a few Honkai Beasts just died by its hands from that attack. My pressure has decreased a lot again!"
"However, that Honkai Beast's patience seems to have reached its limit, and its attacks are getting increasingly frenzied!"
"Roar!"
Right then, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast sprinted to where Rasa was hiding. It raised its forelimbs, lightning coiling around its feet, and stomped down heavily.
Boom!
The surrounding several thousand meters of Desert instantly collapsed downwards by over ten meters, as if suppressed by immense gravity! ]
