For a time, the two battlefields escorting the King's Seal maintained a delicate balance.
Ailin was locked in an intense battle with Roger and Shanks. Here, the Shinigami were also fighting the skeletal Hollows fiercely, preventing them from assaulting the palanquin carrying the King's Seal.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud..."
"Hmm? What is that?"
Suddenly, the ground trembled faintly, as though a large herd of massive animals was rapidly approaching.
Kyunnanbyaku kicked several skeletal Hollows in front of her to pieces, then shot into the sky. She condensed Reishi beneath her feet to hover in midair and looked into the distance.
"That is..."
When Kyunnanbyaku saw what was approaching, a chill ran through her entire body.
Eight Hollows with immense Spiritual Pressure led the way, followed by thousands of skeletal Hollows over ten meters tall. Like a white torrent, they rushed toward them at high speed.
It seemed they had spotted Kyunnanbyaku. An armored general leaped down from the leading Hollow and led the thousands of medium-sized skeletal Hollows behind him toward them. Meanwhile, the other eight Hollows that filled Kyunnanbyaku with terror turned and headed toward the battlefield where Ailin and the other two were fighting.
"Run! Run now!"
Kyunnanbyaku cried out. Forgetting the mission, she directly ordered the Seat Officers of her division to flee immediately.
When facing an enemy they could not defeat, preserving their lives was the most important thing.
Boom!
Kyunnanbyaku kicked apart the top of the palanquin and landed inside. She grabbed the golden King's Seal, then quickly used Shunpo to step through the air, intending to escape through space.
But unfortunately, Setsuna Take had no intention of giving up on taking the King's Seal.
Setsuna Take raised the Zanpakuto in his hand. Purple Spiritual Pressure all over his body flowed into the blade.
