Chapter 374: Toneri
Up ahead, Arthur saw the distant palace. This palace was Toneri's palace.
The first thing he did was place a hidden Flying raijin mark somewhere close to the entrance. Once set, he took to the skies via his smoke technique and soared through the artificial atmosphere.
The clouds above him were similar to the ones on earth. Only, they seemed to swirl thicker. Even the air felt much lighter.
Suddenly figures appeared—dozens of white puppets, floating and twisting to block his path. These same puppets belonged to Toneri, constructs created by the Ōtsutsuki to intercept intruders.
Arthur didn't slow down. Instead, he weaved through them by dodging and weaving their flight pattern. They were fast, and they were catching up quickly.
By the time he knew it, the sky had multiplied with these puppets.
"Hmm..."
A swarm of them descended like a dark cloud. He moved carefully and dodged their many sharp blades. Missile volleys launched at him from all directions, but his aerial prowess was not lacking. Using his agility, he wove between their relentless attacks while analyzing their fighting style.
'Ice style: wolf fang avalanche...'
Using the gathered clouds, Arthur summoned several flying ice wolves. They howled as they lunged forward at their targets. The puppets were met with icy jaws and claws that raked through their metallic bodies.
Some of their wings froze and shattered under the assault as the wolves tore through their ranks, leaving a trail of shattered parts in their wake.
