Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard
Chapter 429: The Secret of Ninjutsu

"Shibai," said Edward as he saw the man who appeared before the small fleet: White skin, two upward hordes, a pair of Byakugan, and a Rinnegan on his forehead. He had a peaceful look on his face while his body exuded a noble or divine aura.

"Are you the one behind the attack on my clan?" asked Shibai, his voice hoarse as if he had not spoken in a long time. Meanwhile, his vision ignored the protective enchantments of the spaceship and directly gazed at Edward sitting on the command chair.

"Danger detected," said Golem AD.

"Be at ease," reassured Edward. "Your task will be to protect the small fleet while recording my battle with the enemy."

"As you wish."

Edward nodded before disappearing from the ship and appearing in front of Shibai.

"I am indeed responsible," replied Edward.

"Why? I don't think the clan has ever offended you. No, I don't think we've ever interacted before."

"Why did the Otsutsuki Clan destroy countless worlds and civilizations by planting the Divine Tree?"

"So, it's for power," nodded Shibai, still calm and peaceful. "In that case, it makes sense." He has long learned the universe was a chaotic place where the strong control the fate of the weak.

The Otsutsuki Clan was the most powerful civilization in the universe. So, now that there was a civilization on par–if not more powerful than them–it was normal for them to eradicate their competitors.

"In that case, let's not waste time: the strongest person will determine the fate of the weakest," declared Shibai.

"Fine by me. However, let's fight far away from this place." Edward did not want their battle to destroy the Otsutsuki Clan's star system, ruining all his efforts of subduing and capturing them.

Shibai did not say anything else; a black tear in the void appeared before him, and he entered it. Meanwhile, a portal appeared before Edward, and he also stepped into it.

"Interesting dimension," commented Edward as he looked at his surroundings. The sky contained a sea of fire for some unknown reason. He could see floating planets, stars, and even entire galaxies floating in emptiness.

More importantly, he could feel the surrounding dimension was highly stable, so it was no problem for them to use all their strength and not worry about too much destruction.

Shibai did not wait for his opponent to admire or analyze the environment. He waved his hand to create an intense blue flame. Edward placed a protective shield before him, easily blocking the attack.

'Is this the power of Shinjutsu? The Chakra has a unique frequency that made it more powerful and easier to manipulate.'

Ninjutsus required hand signs to perform, and only people with extreme talent or Chakra Control could use it without hand signs. And that's only for most Ninjutsus since some cannot be performed with hand signs.

However, Shinjutsu used by Shibai does not require any signs; Chakra follows the user's will and desires.

'That way, Shinjutsus is better than Magic Spells.'

Arcanists can use some weak and basic spells without spell models or runes. However, a spell model is required to achieve a potent and stabilized effect when the spell reaches a certain level.

"Huh?" muttered Edward, who suddenly noticed an anomaly: the flame was slowly burning his shield.

'Something is wrong,' thought Edward. 'Based on my calculation, the amount of Chakra he used for that attack should not affect my spell.'

He sensed the changes in his field and did not detect any special attack targeting his mana or the shield itself.

'It seems that Shinjutsus has a secret behind its power.'

Shibai saw his attack was useless, so he changed tactics. Two lightning bolts appeared in his hand, and he threw them at Edward. They flew faster than light, but Edward responded with another shield.

However, at the last meeting, a strange power emanated from Shibai's eyes, and the lightning bolts ignored Edward's shield and headed straight to him.

Despite the current situation, Edward remained calm and analyzed the situation. Right before the bolts hit him, Shibai seemed to have detected something, but it was too late.

Boom!

Edward suddenly changed place with Shibai, and the bolts hit him directly. The Otsutsuki God suddenly had two enormous holes in his body. However, his expression remained calm and indifferent, now showing any emotions. A weird chakra fluctuation emanated from his body, and he returned to his peak state.

'Interesting,' thought Edward. 'His Dojutsus seemed to vary despite having only a normal Byakugan and Rinnegan.' From the previous confrontation, he had already detected two unique Dojutsus: one that allowed Shibai to bypass defenses, and the other seemed to detect danger.

'Maybe he could even see the future,' thought Edward before waving his hand to create a green magic circle: spatial-temporal energy emanated from the magic circle and blended with the surrounding.

Immediately, Shibai frowned as he detected he could no longer see the future. He waved his hand to create hundreds of tiny black spheres: Dimension Annihilation.

Each sphere was a large dimension, and Shibai threw them at Edward before exploding them. Regrettably, the spheres did not explode as they were supposed to but returned to Shibai before exploding.

As a last resort, he had to send them to another dimension not to be affected.

"It's best not to use space-time abilities before an expert," commented Edward. Immediately, Shibai became irked; he was used to being arrogant in any confrontation.

Shinjutsus: Cosmic Bomb.

Shibai controlled dozens of floating star systems and hundreds of stars, turning them into bombs at Edward.

Boom!

Edward was intact with a shield around him. However, he had to use a triple-sided shield, and two broke.

'There is something that makes Shibai's Shinjutsu more powerful than it should. And it seems familiar. What is it?'

Shibai knew this attack would be useless. Furthermore, his opponent did not take the fight seriously. So, he used these facts to his advantage for his next attack:

Rinnegan: The Path of Death.

Numerous black shadows suddenly came out of Edward's body.

"A True Death attack? You're really not a simple opponent." He could tell Shibai's attack involved True Death, meaning he could kill his opponent as long as he looked at them for more than a second. Luckily, he was immune to True Death attacks, had counter-spells engraved in his robes, and controlled the Rules of Death.

Shibai frowned as he realized one of his sure-victory tactics did not work. He waved his hand to create thousands of Truth-Seeking Balls with the power of destruction.

He sent them to distract the enemy while he divided a part of his mind, sending it somewhere.

"You want to send a part of your mind to the past and kill my weak self," suddenly said Edward after dealing with the Truth-Seeking Balls. "However, I've already warned you."

Shibai's complexion became pale as he bled from his ears, nose, and mouth–his soul was injured. He felt his opponent directly killed the part of his consciousness that traveled to the past, thus affecting his soul.

Shibai knew it would take time to heal his soul injury, so he focused on the battle. He waved his hand to manifest ten humongous beasts.

"The Power of Creation?" commented Edward as he looked at the Chakra Beasts before him. He could feel that all of them were Tier 8; to be precise, they could use one Tier 8 attack.

The Chakra Beasts opened their mouths and fired a Beast Bomb at Edward. However, he gathered his mana on his hand and fired an attack similar to a Ki Blast attack in Dragon Ball Z. He easily overwhelmed these ten Tier 8 creatures with his massive energy capacity.

"So, that's how it is," he muttered as he finally understood why Shinjutsus were so powerful: they contained the Will of the Universe. In other words, the Universe Will would power up or boost all of Shibai's attacks.
