Not only her—even under Lord Ailin's command, no one could break through Artoria's defenses.
Because the defense Artoria deployed was no longer merely a "defense." It was a "world"!
When even the worlds were different, how could you possibly hurt me?
Thus, Alice did not refute Artoria's words.
Just as Artoria had said, the main reason Lord Locke had left them by Lady Haruko Kuchiki's side was for them to deal with anyone who might cause Haruko trouble.
Artoria was the "shield" that protected Haruko, while Alice was the "sword" that swept away problems!
Earlier, when Artoria had not acted, Alice had released her Sword of Golden Osmanthus in the face of the Quincies' attacks, forming a river of Golden Osmanthus Sword Blades to block their Holy Death Arrows.
"Alright!"
After nodding to Artoria, Alice swung the hilt in her hand, and the countless streams of Golden Osmanthus Sword Blades swept toward the Quincies surrounding the courtyard.
"Slash, slash, slash..."
"Arghhh..."
Before Alice's river of Golden Osmanthus Sword Blades, these Quincies had no power to resist.
After all, Alice was a Captain-level Zanpakuto, capable of rivaling Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura.
Although lacking a master meant that Alice was currently somewhat weaker than Byakuya Kuchiki, her strength was still comparable to that of an ordinary captain.
These Quincies, meanwhile, were merely ordinary and elite Quincies. They were not even a match for Shinigami Seat Officers, so how could they withstand Alice's attacks?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Seeing that their attacks could not break through the river of Golden Osmanthus Sword Blades and harm Alice, some of the Quincies shifted their targets to Artoria and Haruko Kuchiki within the courtyard.
Unfortunately, before their attacks could reach the two of them, they were blocked by a spherical spatial barrier outside the courtyard.
This was the
