"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Across the Seireitei, Reishi Arrows flew out from the darkness, raining down on the patrolling Soul Reapers.
"Argh..."
"Clang, clang, clang—"
When the Quincy had attacked last time, the Soul Reapers had been completely unprepared. Many low-ranking Seated Officers had been assassinated the moment the attack began.
This time, however, the captains had not concealed the news of the Quincy assault from their divisions. As a result, the patrolling Soul Reapers had maintained two hundred percent vigilance these past few days, keeping a close watch on their surroundings.
Under such circumstances, although the Soul Reapers had been caught off guard, very few Seated Officers were actually killed.
Most of them were able to block the incoming Reishi Arrows.
Still, the strength of the Soul Reapers varied greatly. Those who truly could not dodge or block the Quincy attacks and died had no one else to blame.
Even if they had survived the previous assault, their chances of living through the battles to come would not have been high.
After firing their first volley, the Quincy of the Wandenreich emerged one after another from the shadows of the Seireitei and clashed with the Soul Reapers.
The lower-ranking Quincy had not received a Schrift bestowed by Yhwach.
Nor were they qualified to learn the Blut Yhwach had created for the Quincy.
Thus, ordinary Quincy soldiers possessed strength roughly equivalent to Soul Reapers who had not released their Zanpakuto.
Powerful elite Quincy could even contend with Seat Officers among the Soul Reapers.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Violent explosions rang out continuously throughout the Seireitei.
Firelight, blazing flames, and screams never ceased. Blue-gray smoke from the battlefield rose into the sky from every corner of the Gotei 13.
Clearly, the Wandenreich's assault on the Seireitei this time was
