Chapter 177
"Who told you that Quincy can only use one Reishi weapon?"
The Quincy opposite him flicked his ammunition belt, and the heavy muzzle of the gun he was holding with one hand was once again aimed at Hiyori.
"... Is that so?"
Hiyori stood up, supporting herself on her right arm that held the sword.
Thank you for providing this valuable information.
"?"
"Can't move anymore, right?"
The Quincy's sneak attack caused Hiyori to lose a lot of blood, but her expression was much more relaxed than before.
"My Zanpakuto looks pretty big..."
She shook the Kubikiri Orochi in her hand with a forced wave, and sighed with a tone of disapproval.
"But no matter what, it's Zanpakuto named after a snake."
"You actually used..."
"Poison."
Hiyori spoke that word for the Quincy who was spitting blood instead of speaking.
"I am, after all, the vice-captain of the Twelfth Division."
"You didn't even consider that... You're not much of a guy after all."
At this time, Hiyori was not strong, and it would be quite troublesome to deal with Quincy of the same level head-on.
However, her Zanpakuto ability is not a paralyzing poison like Mayuri Kurotsuchi's.
The Twelfth Division lieutenant, who no longer needs to consider capturing prey for research, finds killing people much easier.
"Thump!"
The Quincy the sky, and the moment he hit the ground, the impact turned him into a pool of foul-smelling pus... His body had completely softened from the inside out, leaving no trace of his corpse.
However, although Hiyori defeated her opponent, she didn't seem to be in much better shape...
"Thump."
Fortunately.
Falling from a height of more than ten stories is still manageable for Soul Reaper.
"Clang!"
The baseball bat and the longsword were evenly matched in their clash.
Faced with the Quincy attacked Kanmuri Yasu was actually at a disadvantage for a time - the Quincy he was dealing with was not much stronger than the one he fought against Hiyori, mainly Kanmuri Yasu needed to conserve his already limited Reiatsu.
"Clang!"
After deflecting the opponent's close-range attack once again.
"This can't go on."
Kanmuri Yasu glanced at the battlefield between Haruto and Seirin Tsunayashiro.
Although Seirin Tsunayashiro and Hiyori had already encountered their respective opponents when they appeared, he could still clearly hear the latter's villainous statement that she didn't care about them at all; otherwise, Kanmuri Yasu wouldn't even be sure who he should help first.
"The enemy started fighting amongst themselves, and infighting broke out among our own forces."
"I'm in this state..."
Even if we hold back, we can't beat one of them.
Kanmuri Yasu was quite well aware of the battlefield situation.
"Since that's the case--"
"Call!"
Kanmuri Yasu's water-splashing technique was impervious to the water.
"Let's eliminate the enemy in front of us as soon as possible. As long as we don't cause any trouble, we'll be fine. There's definitely nothing for me to do on the main battlefields on both sides."
His Zanpakuto ability is quite unique, being a self-enhancing type of effect.
After the Shikai.
As the battle progresses, Kanmuri Yasu's body will continuously strengthen its resistance and defense; the higher the frequency of attacks he suffers, the faster the strengthening speed will be.
At the same time.
The upper limit of defense enhancement is also inversely proportional to the current Reiatsu level.
Once he reaches the critical point of enhancement, he will be able to perform even more powerful breakthrough techniques:
That's right.
It's the one that even the Soul Reaper "can" do.
Although his Reiatsu is only at level four, thanks to the unique nature of his Zanpakuto and his own Zanpakuto, he is able to reach that level ahead of others.
Although it was only a single strike, it was enough to instantly Quincy at the Vice-Captain-level...
That's enough.
"Whoosh!"
The long-handled sword paused in mid-air.
From the two ends of the sharp silver blade, new symmetrical light blades extend out.
Kanmuri Yasu poured all of his remaining Reiatsu into it--
"Bankai!"
Before Seirin Tsunayashiro could even Bankai, Kanmuri Yasu had already stolen the spotlight!
"Bang!!"
Reishi in the atmosphere were compressed into water vapor.
The power bestowed upon the holder by Heaven-Spanning was entirely transformed into a majestic suit of armor covering the body: the Beast-Faced Head-Swallowing Chain Armor.
The two long-handled broadswords in his hands became even more imposing and ferocious; they were heavy weapons of slaughter, combining the features of a spear and a halberd, which were difficult for ordinary people to wield.
Fangtian Halberd.
"The Overlord Army, roaming freely across the land!"
"Bang!!"
The powerful Shunpo dispelled the shockwaves that had nothing to do with agility, and when Kanmuri Yasu reappeared, he was already close to the dumbfounded Quincy:
"Thunder Half-Moon Slash!"
A cross-shaped slash swept across.
"Puff!!"
In the blink of an eye, the Quincy who had been fighting Kanmuri Yasu to a standstill had been cut into four pieces of flesh by the Fangtian Halberd, pieces that could never be put back together.
That's all I can do.
Kanmuri Yasu's momentum, which had reached its peak, began to decline rapidly.
Although he killed his opponent with lightning speed, he also exhausted his last bit of Reiatsu... It has to be said that Kanmuri Yasu's performance was more like that of 11th Division member than his captain.
"Next..."
"I'll still have to trouble you Haruto."
Thump!
At the same time as the two battlefields above ended.
"Boom!!"
The collision between the Reishi particle clusters made the sky above Karakura Town dangerous.
"Sixfold Heilig Pfeil!"
"Call out!!"
Schubert brandished his saber.
The hidden Reishi space behind him suddenly opened, and the blue Reishi light transformed into a six-pointed star, condensing into Heilig Pfeil in the form of spears at the six points. Although their power was not as concentrated as the Sankt Bogen, they had a greater range of attack, making them difficult for even the Hirenkyaku to completely avoid.
But.
"Buzz--"
Sōken Ishida had no intention of dodging.
The Heilig Pfeil vanished from his palm instantly, replaced by two double-edged Reishi light swords:
Seele Schneider.
He flicked his twin swords in an "∞" shape in front of Sōken Ishida.
"The Ring of Anguish!"
The Reishi arrows, also belonging to the Six Paths, combined and condensed in front of him, instantly transforming into a huge star-shaped shield that blocked Sōken Ishida.
--
"Boom!!"
The explosion unleashed an incredibly pure Reishi storm.
"..."
"Sōken Ishida!"
Upon seeing this, Schubert mercilessly mocked Sōken Ishida.
"Using the abilities His Majesty bestowed upon the Order of Knights to defy the Empire's orders—is this how you repay a debt of gratitude?!"
"Schubert."
Sōken Ishida said with a calm expression.
"You have no idea what kind of person Yhwach is. A tyrant like that is not worth following."
"Is that so..."
Schubert sheathed his sword.
"It seems you have absolutely no intention of backing out."
His long, slender arms stretched straight down to his sides, like a missionary bathed in divine light.
"Since that's the case."
Whether it was the Reishi naturally born in this Jūreichi, or the Reishi that spilled out when the two clashed, they all converged towards Schubert like an undercurrent Vortex.
This is Captain-level Sklaverei.
"Then let me show you the glory that once illuminated every corner of the empire during your years on the run!"
A technique that requires such a concentrated amount of Reishi to execute—
"Buzz!!"
A halo of Reishi, divine wings.
That is the power bestowed upon the chosen messenger by the Son of God:
"Vollständig!"
"..."
Facing the now several-fold more imposing Schubert, Sōken Ishida adjusted his glasses as usual.
"The Letzt Stil without any cost?"
With a gentle wave of his arm, Sōken Ishida revealed over twenty Seele Schneider tools hidden beneath his cloak, each containing a large amount of concentrated Reishi!
