Chapter 247
Kaguya didn't plan on staying in this dimension for long. The magma here couldn't hurt her. As long as her power remained unsealed, she wasn't foolish enough to die in a place she herself had created.
A major reason she didn't want to linger was the terrifying vitality she sensed from the other party. If she couldn't finish Karin in one blow, killing her would become extremely difficult.
Besides, there was a nagging suspicion that Karin had played some sort of trick on her—done something to her behind the scenes. Kaguya was never good at scheming or plotting. In a way, she was quite simple-minded.
Realizing that even the beings she had split off weren't behaving normally, Kaguya finally stepped into the black portal. If she couldn't kill them outright, then at least she could trap them here and let them slowly perish.
After firming up her decision, she thought it best to visit the space where Zixu had been banished. But before leaving, she activated the "Child's Eye" technique, stealing a portion of Karin's chakra as a precaution. Then, without hesitation, she headed straight toward Zixu's sealed space.
The dimension was sealed in frozen silence—ice and snow blanketed the entire world. If Zixu had lived in ancient times, he might've had plenty to talk about with creatures from the Ice Age.
His body radiated heat like a small furnace. Every step left scorched prints on the icy ground. He had tried activating the iron sphere engraved with the Flying Thunder God technique countless times, but the spatial barriers here were tighter than he had anticipated. The technique was useless.
"Tch... Not having spatial ability is a damn disadvantage," Zixu muttered with a frown. He was genuinely trapped in this blizzard-ridden wasteland. Death seemed like a real possibility.
"Keep moving. If this isn't a closed space, I'll find a way out. And if it is... then I'll just break the barrier."
As he trudged forward, mentally calculating escape options, he was caught off guard when Kaguya appeared ahead of him—this time making no effort to hide her presence. She worried he might feign ignorance and spring a trap on her, so she attacked the moment she materialized.
She hadn't come unprepared. During her passage through the black portal, she had silently condensed dozens of tiny gray bones. After three failed attempts to eliminate him, frustration boiled within her. This time, she was determined to get rid of Zixu.
