"How could this happen?!"
Schutzschild shattered, and Haschwalth was struck head-on by Lightning Plasma. With an incredulous look in his eyes, he flew backward and was severely wounded, losing his Combat Power outright.
His Schrift ability was called "The Balance." It allowed him to manipulate the luck in the world, making himself fortunate in battle while making his enemies unfortunate.
It was precisely because of this ability to manipulate luck that his sword could cut through anything. Even an enemy's Zanpakuto could be severed by him due to misfortune.
And his Schutzschild could not only redirect all damage aimed at him onto the shield, creating cracks in it, but also reflect that damage back onto the enemy a second time.
But today, his ability had clearly failed. Or rather, it had not exactly failed, because it had indeed taken effect. It was simply so negligible against Hawking that it could be ignored.
"Looks like your luck isn't enough to offset the misfortune of running into me."
Haschwalth lay severely wounded on the ground. Taking advantage of the time Haschwalth had bought him, Yhwach immediately escaped Hawking's attack range.
Hawking did not pursue him right away. Instead, he glanced at the severely wounded Haschwalth and shook his head.
Was Haschwalth's Schrift ability powerful?
It was extremely powerful—one could even call it absurd. If used well, he could probably have fought even Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Unfortunately, he had encountered Hawking. The gap in their strength was simply too great.
The moment Haschwalth decided to help Yhwach block Hawking's attack, he had already encountered the greatest misfortune in this world.
Even if he tried his best to gather every bit of luck he could and bestow it upon himself while placing all misfortune upon Hawking, it was nowhere near enough to bridge that
