"That's impossible..."
Those were Berenice's final words before his death. He simply could not understand it. He was clearly one of the Wandenreich's most elite Sternritter.
He possessed the Schrift ability bestowed upon him by His Majesty Yhwach, as well as powers such as Blut Vene, so why had he been killed so effortlessly?
Yoru Machi did not answer his question. He slowly pulled his Zanpakuto from the man's chest, then casually flung Berenice's body away as though tossing out trash.
Seeing Berenice get instantly killed, not only Sun Sun and the other two, but even Gilles and the other Sternritter were completely stunned.
The Sternritter did indeed vary greatly in strength, and the disparity among them was quite uneven. Yet even the weakest among them possessed the strength of a Soul Reaper vice-captain. Otherwise, how could they be considered an elite force?
Berenice might have been somewhat weak, but he should not have been so weak that he could be killed in an instant...
"As expected of one of the Special War Powers marked by His Majesty. He's on a completely different level from the other Soul Reapers. Everyone, attack together!"
Among the Sternritter present, Gilles, who bore Schrift J, was the strongest. After witnessing Yoru Machi instantly kill Berenice Q, he immediately called for the companions beside him to attack together.
Aside from Berenice, who had been instantly killed after going all out with his taunting aura from the start, there were still four Sternritter in Hueco Mundo.
Soi Fon, who had come with Yoru Machi, voluntarily took on Schrift K—a robot that looked somewhat like an Arrancar but possessed Quincy abilities.
As for the remaining three, Yoru Machi faced all of them alone.
After seeing Berenice's fate, Gilles and the others no longer dared to underestimate or
