Soul Reaper: My Zanpakuto Is a Bit Trendy
"Whoosh!"
Before Kensei could even use his Bakkōtō, which spread out like a crane's wing, he was cut in two along with the sword by Seisen; then, with a backhand strike, he pinned Mashiro Kuna, who was covered in sharp blades like a hedgehog, in mid-air.
As for Lisa Yadōmaru attacked from the front, Haruto used the impact of the back of his sword to accelerate her backward, cutting her in two before she could turn into white mist.
Less than two seconds.
Only Shinji Hirako and Love Aikawa remain guarding this Reigai —the lack of a suitable Zanpakuto is one aspect, but the difference in Reiatsu is the key to determining the outcome.
Aren't you going to run?
"... I."
Shinji Hirako's Reigai was about to say something.
"Then there's no chance."
Haruto stepped onto the water formed by the Reishi and flashed behind the two. The Haruto was standing in place turned into water and merged into the Reishi that swayed like a lake beneath his feet.
"Puff!"
A single-handed, powerful slash.
Only two fallen corpses remained, which shattered into countless silver dust upon impact.
"Whoosh!"
Sheathing the sword can be done during Shunpo.
Since the enemy has deployed so many troops, it means Haruto must be very close to his target.
Fly away?
Haruto prefers to believe this is a tactic of hiding the truth—accompanying the Shunpo movement is also...
Faint golden lines left on the ground:
"Bakudō 58: Kakushitsuijaku"
In the state of Ultimate Hollow God Form.
The Kakushitsuijaku can combine the Menos Grande's "Pesquisa" and "Gonzui" to achieve a higher level.
Other tracking capabilities.
"Here?"
"Whoosh!"
The instant you land using Shunpo.
Roam in the Seisen!
"!!"
Yushima Oko could even react, his body was instantly cleaved in two by the light blue crescent moon.
But...
"Reigai?"
"Disguising yourself is a good idea, but do you have that many Zanpakuto?"
"Whoosh!"
"Splash."
The once clear night sky was obscured by dark clouds.
The Seisen gushed out quite a few times, and the dense moisture enveloped the entire city in a sudden downpour.
"... Not bad trick."
Nearly ten minutes of fruitless effort made Haruto a little anxious.
However, it was precisely because of the countless replicas of the Reigai scattered throughout the city that Haruto became even more convinced that this guy was hiding somewhere in the city.
"With a spatial-type Zanpakuto, they are indeed a troublesome opponent."
The guy who can cooperate with Tsunayashiro Tokinada must have some skills.
The simplest way, of course, would be to use Kidō to blow the entire city into the sky, but wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting defeat in this game of hide-and-seek?
"..."
But that's about all the trouble we'll encounter.
"I didn't originally plan to liberate twice in one day."
"Buzz."
The second Zanpakuto, which clearly distinguishes Far Shore, reappears.
"Zheng."
Sheath the sword, draw the sword.
The jet-black blade lay flat against Haruto's chest.
"Bite!"
A crescent-shaped fingernail lightly touched the blade, and the scroll near the edge was quietly illuminated by a blood-red light.
"The Scroll of Hellfire: Removal from Punishment in Lingbu!"
The first painting in the scroll is being replaced.
The Zanpakuto, with its familiar three-cone hilt, appeared clearly on Far Shore's blade.
Haruto paused for a moment.
"Bite!"
As the thumb flicks gently from the other side of the blade towards the opposite side touched by the index finger.
Whisper, Muramasa.
"Buzz!"
The purple spiritual energy spread throughout the entire city.
Aside from Yushima Oko, there are no other Soul Reaper in this city, so Haruto can use Muramasa's abilities without worry.
That's right.
Where there is a seal, there is a way to break it.
Although the Far Shore in its Shikai form can only use the basic part of the ability to seal the soul, it is obviously enough for the current situation.
"Puff!!"
Less than five seconds Muramasa liberated, Haruto clearly detected the chaotic Reiatsu fluctuations from a corner underground in the city.
"Got you?"
"Whoosh!"
"Tick-tock."
"Tick-tock."
Blood dripped from his shoulder.
The cross-shaped blade of light nearly severed the entire right arm of Yushima Oko... no, it nearly severed the right arm of Kagerōza Inaba.
In front of Kagerōza Inaba, a girl with short, dark green hair was facing him, holding her Zanpakuto.
Yushima Oko once split his soul in two, and when the two were close enough, they could merge back into one through technical means; at the same time, under the influence of special Zanpakuto like Muramasa, he would also be directly split into two parts, along with the sword.
"Whoosh."
"!!"
Under the watchful eyes of the two, Haruto Shunpo appeared in the empty and abandoned underground parking lot.
He just stood there brazenly between the two of them.
"This is really..."
"That's so interesting."
Muramasa's abilities go beyond simply making his Zanpakuto materialize and betray its master.
As Zanpakuto that can directly affect the soul, Muramasa can read the Zanpakuto's memories by invading the spiritual world—this technique can only be used at close range, and the number of memories that can be read at the same time is limited.
Haruto right now...
I have already seen the memories of the two people in front of me.
Yushima Oko split his memories in two. Kagerōza Inaba inherited most of the knowledge and power, continuing his Reigai Project at the Seireitei Research Institute. Nozomi Kujō, a girl born from Modified Soul technology, joined the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force after being implanted with false memories. Under the scheme of Yushima Oko and Tsunayashiro Tokinada, she became Shusuke Amagai's apprentice and stayed in Hueco Mundo with him.
After they were united as one.
Nozomi Kujō naturally understood the entire conspiracy before her: without Muramasa's intervention, she had already taken advantage of Kagerōza Inaba and delivered a fatal blow.
While at the Seireitei Research Institute, Yushima Oko set up a miniature barrier similar to Kirio Hikifune's to protect himself from being influenced by Muramasa.
Who would have thought...
Even now, after Kōga Kuchiki's defeat, there are still people who can wield Muramasa's power.
The severity of the injuries is irrelevant; the key lies in the Reiatsu and the power of the Zanpakuto, half of which was given to Nozomi Kujō by Muramasa.
Yushima Oko's Zanpakuto, Sumitsukigasa, possesses two abilities:
The power to manipulate space and the power to absorb Reishi —the former allows the holder to teleport through space, and further, can imprison opponents in Dangai, or render space-cutting ineffective and reflect the opponent's attacks; the latter can absorb Reishi from opponents and even from nature, converting them into part of one's own Reiatsu.
No doubt about it.
This is an absurdly powerful, rule-based Zanpakuto.
At the same time, it is also an extremely difficult Zanpakuto to cultivate. Yushima Oko was originally a member of the Ninth Division, but because he was completely unable to exert his own abilities, he was forcibly transferred to the Twelfth Division (not the Seireitei Research Institute): after mastering mathematics and physics here (realistically), he was able to truly unleash the power of the Sumitsukigasa.
The reason he was able to mass-produce Reigai was not only due to the help of the Tsunayashiro Clan, but also because the abilities of his Zanpakuto provided a great deal of convenience.
"Kagerōza Inaba."
Haruto took a step forward.
At the same time.
Kagerōza Inaba instinctively stepped back— Haruto in his Shunkō form had a much more terrifying Reiatsu than when he was a pure Soul Reaper.
I don't recommend that you put up a fight.
Haruto's Far Shore is still outside the sheath.
The crystal-clear, bright red light seemed to drip onto the ground, forming the quietly blooming Far Shore.
"There's still a difference between being imprisoned in an underground the Jail for thousands of years and being executed immediately."
You think you can catch me?
"..."
"Bakudō #99!"
"Bakudō #99!"
The chanting did indeed begin simultaneously.
However, the gap between the two is beyond what can be described as mere overestimation of one's abilities.
The result of Second-Class Spiritual Pressure amplified tenfold versus Third-Class Reii weakened by half is self-evident.
"Ban!"
"The Bankin Taihō!"
The black strip of cloth had barely appeared when it was instantly crushed into dust by the Reiatsu of the swastika symbol that emerged from the ground.
Kagerōza Inaba wants to defeat Haruto, he must reunite with Nozomi Kujō. But Haruto has read both of their memories, would never allow him to do so. The basic version of the Bakudō #99 was barely shown when Haruto shattered it into nothingness.
"Dance wildly, come on--"
