The Universal Villain

Chapter 39 - Zero Hand

With Shen's unrelenting attacks, Zabimaru was trapped however, the snake tail which was behind Zabimaru was not affected as it swiftly went under Zabimaru its target was Shen who had his attention on Zabimaru.

Looking at Shen, the snakehead began charging up Reiatsu, and only then did it gain Shen's attention. 'Well, aren't you clever.' Halting his strikes, Shen used one of the statue's hands, moving it in front of him to block the shot from the snakehead. Firing its shot, it clashed against the gold like the skin of the statue's hand before exploding.

Causing a cloud of smoke to appear in the sky, blocking Shen's view as Zabimaru fell to the ground. As Zabimaru landed on all fours, the ground cracked as Zabimaru was covered in injuries, although they were rather light. 'I guess the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva will need to be leveled up a little more before it can do any heavier damage.'

As the smoke cleared, Shen stayed in the air keeping the Type 100 activated. 'Let's give this a shot then.' Enabling Haki on his palms, the palms of the statue began to glow as a strange sound could be heard. The glow faded, revealing the golden palms were coated in Armament Haki.

Each arm slowly began to turn black as it slowly faded as the Haki got closer to the body. 'Looks like I can't cover the entire statue just yet, but this should work fine.' Looking up at Shen Zabimaru looked at the transformation casually as the two heads looked at Shen. Shen waved his palm, and the statue retook action, sending a strike straight at Zabimaru, who responded by dodging to the side.

But Shen attacked again only a few seconds after Zabimaru dodged, hitting them straight on with one of the statues other hands. Although the statue's attacks do lack power, using Haki lowers that lack of power. As the palm strike pushed Zabimaru backed, causing for there legs to dig into the ground, Zabimaru used this as an opportunity.

Before Shen could pull back, the hand Zabimaru quickly grabbed the arm of the statue with both hands. Although you couldn't see facial expressions of Zabimaru's face in this form, Shen could see a grin as Zabimaru began to yank at the arm.

Not wanting to give Zabimaru a chance, Shen quickly reacted planning to attack Zabimaru's body while they were pulling the statues another arm. As another palm rocketed forward, Shen felt this attack stop as well as the snake tail of Zabimaru wrapped around the arm tightening its grip.

And before Shen, he felt the statue move as Zabimaru began to spin in a circle. Unable to stop the movement, Zabimaru began to spin faster and faster before stopping and using the spinning momentum to launch the statue into the air with Zabimaru still holding on.

Once in the air Zabimaru pulled the arm he was holding downwards, sending it crashing down to the ground along with Shen. Plunging into the ground, Shen couldn't keep the statue as it began to disappear Zabimaru didn't stop there as it began to fall to the ground started to twirl around as the snake headshot Reiatsu bombs towards the crater Shen was lying in.

Looking at the incoming attacks, Shen's face slowly changed into a grin. 'Well, it's not like they're going to live to tell about it anyway.' The crater lit up as the attacks hit, causing multiple ruptures in the ground. Still, in the air Zabimaru landed in the crater not soon after causing another massive quake.

With Zabimaru's attack, the crater widened even more. Looking around, Zabimaru couldn't find Shen Until they heard his voice suddenly echo around them as the walls of the cavity began to morph Zabimaru found themselves being s.u.c.k.e.d into the ground as if it was quicksand.

'This might be the first time I used Genjutsu during combat. I have to admit it is helpful.' In the outside world, Zabimaru was standing entirely still however, in their mind, they were sinking into the ground as the crater collapsed on top of them.

'I doubt they will be trapped for long though.' With that in mind, Shen landed on the ground in front of Zabimaru, calling forwards the Type 100 once again, however, this time, Shen acted differently. Instead of attacking Zabimaru, Shen used the arms of the statue to hold Zabimaru, including the snakehead.

Holding Zabimaru steal, Shen closed his eyes as the glow of the statue grew as its mouth began to slowly open, revealing an abyss within it. As the statue looked down at Zabimaru, the white light began to build as the mouth fully opened. At that moment, Zabimaru's body suddenly jittered as it escaped from Genjutsu.

Finding itself trapped as Shen and the statue loomed above, it began struggling. "It's too late for that now." Shen's eyes narrowed down on Zabimaru as his words echoed. "Zero Hand!" With that, the light within the statue's mouth shot out like letting covering Zabimaru in there entirety still trapped by the arms of the statue.

A white light shone as it escaped the crater lighting up the sky. The sheer amount of power in the attack ate away at everything around them a wave of smoke blew into sky-reaching the clouds and blowing them away. As the attack continued, Shen could feel his energy draining extremely fast. 'Dam, this thing is going to suck me dry.'

With that, the white beam of light began to get weaker as the mouth of the statue started to close, and the statue disappeared. Shen floated in the air looking down at a deep hole in the ground had appeared. The edges of the tunnel looked as though something had melted the rock itself. 'They're still alive after all of that.'

With no notification still, Shen took a deep breath he jumped out of the crater entirely. Just as he exited the hole, the ground shook for a moment as he turned his attention back to the cavity. "Your way too persistent." Just as Shen said that something covered in steam jumped out of the crater, landing onto the ground.

"You took that attack head-on your tougher than I thought you would be."As the steam began to clear, Zabimaru came back into Shen's view. Although they did survive Shen's attack, they didn't get away without taking injuries themselves. Zabimaru's fur was scorched in some places along with there skin, which the sound of boiling could be heard.

In the places where Zabimaru was bleeding, the blood could be seen boiling scorching there skin even more. As for the snake tail, it was protected by Zabimaru's body, but it still had its scales scorched here and there revealing raw skin. Looking at there condition, Shen felt more relieved than he did a few seconds ago.

'If they survived that without a scratch, I might have had to rely on something else to finish them off.' Looking at Zabimaru, Shen didn't summon the Type 100 this time and instead simply covered there body in a layer of Haki and Ki. As they both stared each other down Shen's attack was showing more and more effects as Zabimaru's vision blurred for a moment.

Standing there, Shen took a stance. "Lets put you out of your misery, shall we?"
