"I am the third war general under the Hollow King Baraggan!"
"Woman, running into me here is your terrible luck. I'll personally crush you to dust..."
An Adjuchas twice the size of an ordinary Gillian, its entire body covered in white stone and resembling a living mountain, looked down at Unohana Retsu and spoke coldly.
"Swish!"
Before the Menos could finish speaking, a sharp flash of cold light slashed out beneath the moonlight.
"How is this possible?! Woman, how can you be this powerful?"
"My King, Lord Baraggan..."
Accompanied by cracking sounds, the Adjuchas's enormous body split apart in an instant. Countless grains of white sand spilled from its ruptured body before it finally crashed to the ground with a thunderous boom...
This giant beast, known as Baraggan's third war general, continued crying out the name of the king in its heart even at the moment of its death. Unfortunately, it did not know that the very "king" it called upon had personally sent it here to die.
"Swish!" Unohana looked at the fallen beast and lightly flicked her long blade, shaking the sand from it. Then she coldly regarded the corpse and muttered, "My luck really is poor. To think I ran into such a weak opponent as you..."
"No..."
"We can't let Baraggan keep sending Adjuchas after Retsu. No matter how many mid-level Menos come, they're nothing but one-slash fodder before Retsu!"
High in the sky, Araki watched as Retsu cleaved Baraggan's war general in two with a single stroke, and his brow twitched slightly.
It was not that the war general had been too weak. Unohana Retsu was simply too strong—so strong that no suitable opponent below Vasto Lorde could be found for her. Whether Gillians or Adjuchas, they were all feeble creatures she could bisect with
