The Serious Poison Master
In the basement of the Fourth Division, upon seeing Yuzu Kurosaki appear behind Unohana Retsu, Askin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and the relaxed expression on his face vanished instantly. He couldn't understand why the girl opposite him could pose such a threat to him.
Upon God's Poison See the Vollständig, Askin's face showed no smile. He even took the initiative and immediately released the Supreme Poison Ball in the basement!
A purple poisonous domain instantly filled the entire underground area. The domain contained a large amount of deadly gas, making it difficult to even breathe, let alone move; it was practically impossible to take a single step.
Normally, once Askin releases this ultimate poison ball in the center of the battlefield, the battle can be over. Even Bleach of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's caliber, without poison resistance, would only turn into a carpet in front of the ultimate poison ball.
Unfortunately, Ukitake assigned Askin two of his toughest opponents: Unohana Retsu and Yuzu Kurosaki.
Even Unohana Retsu didn't make a move. The instant she was covered by the Supreme Poison Ball, Yuzu Kurosaki- class next to Unohana Retsu automatically emitted a mysterious light.
The light surrounded the Yuzu, even enveloping Unohana Retsu. Under the purification effect of the Yuzu's Saint Letters, all the deadly poisons were transformed into harmless gases.
In that instant, Askin's expression turned serious. He finally understood why he could sense a threat from Yuzu; Yuzu's amazing abilities were his natural enemy.
"You're the one who revived the Grim Bleach of Seireitei, aren't you?" Askin immediately understood why his pre-battle preparations had failed.
"It's not just me, it's Kirinj too."
Yuzu answered Askin's question very seriously. Without the help of the hot springs at Kirinj, Yuzu's current abilities were not enough to cover the entire Seireitei.
"Ignore him, Yuzu, he's our enemy." Unohana Retsu, who was carrying the child, was unusually gentle, and with a light touch, she hid Yuzu behind her.
Askin wasn't surprised at all by Unohana Retsu's actions. He calmly took out a folded Spirit Bow from his wristband, drew the Spirit Bow and Arrows, aimed it at Unohana, and asked.
"Her presence also restricts your movements. You don't think I only know how to use poison, do you?"
Askin fired an arrow at Unohana Retsu, who immediately erected a Unohana Retsu of blood in front of her as a defense, her hand dripping with Everything's Gone.
Unohana Retsu had carefully studied Askin's intelligence; before Yuzu became Quincy, Askin was Unohana Retsu's designated opponent.
Do not allow Askin to easily absorb your Reishi, and do not let Askin harm you, as any action could become a way for him to adjust his the Deathdealing.
Therefore, in Unohana Retsu's mind, to kill Askin, it must be a swift and decisive blow, without giving him any chance to prolong the battlefield.
The blood wall dissipated immediately after blocking the Spirit Bow and Arrows, making it impossible for Unohana Retsu to give Askin the chance to touch her blood.
With that one obstacle, Askin had already stepped on Hirenkyaku and arrived behind Unohana Retsu. "At the very least, my Quincy basics are passable!"
Askin fired an arrow, aiming it directly at Yuzu, who was hiding behind Unohana Retsu. If he could kill Yuzu Kurosaki and make Unohana Retsu sink back into the Supreme Poison Sphere, the opportunity would be on his side again.
To Askin's surprise, his arrow was also blocked by another arrow. When he looked up, he saw Yuzu's somewhat embarrassed smile and the crossbow in her hand, which looked like a child's toy.
"I have also studied the basic abilities of Quincy seriously!" Yuzu said with a serious face. She could not compare with Karin in terms of combat talent, but she had not slacked off in any of Ryūken's lessons.
"Is that so? It's just the Spirit Bow and Arrows, nothing to be proud of, is it?"
Askin glided through the poison gas, a ring of gas appearing around his body. The ring shrank to the size of a finger and was then looped over his arrowhead.
The Poison Ring allows Askin to concentrate the Deathdealing at a single point. Wherever the poison ring hits, the Deathdealing explodes instantly, killing that part of the enemy's body in a flash.
Askin fired another arrow, Yuzu raised her hand without hesitation to fire one as well. However, her arrow did not stop Askin's arrow at all; it pierced through it instantly and continued its original trajectory toward Yuzu.
The Deathdealing that Askin implanted in this poison ring was Reishi. This Spirit Bow and Arrows, equipped with the poison ring, could even destroy the Reishi on the Yuzu's arrows, and the arrows were aimed directly at the Yuzu's heart.
With a whoosh, Yuzu disappeared from the spot. Askin's attack missed. Just as Askin was about to launch a second attack, Unohana Retsu was ready. The moment Yuzu's arrow left her hand, she Flash Step grabbed Yuzu and used Shunpo to move to a new position.
This is really troublesome. Askin looked at Unohana Retsu and Yuzu with a grim face. He was not facing one person in this battle. He was confident that he could handle either of them, but the two of them together were a bit tricky.
With both poison and the Deathdealing ineffective, Askin can only fight using his Quincy abilities.
Unohana Retsu was essentially fighting Askin while carrying a mobile fountain. For Unohana Retsu, who was skilled in countless sword techniques, wielding a one-handed sword while carrying Yuzu was no challenge at all.
"Yuzu, close your eyes," Unohana Retsu said softly. The scene that was about to unfold was a bit too bloody, and she didn't want Yuzu to be traumatized.
Yuzu was very obedient. Not only did she close her eyes, but she also buried her head on Unohana Retsu's shoulder. At the same time, she activated her Saint Letters power to the maximum, making her stand out like a light bulb in the extremely poisonous sphere filled with purple poison gas.
Seeing Yuzu's anxious expression, so afraid of getting hurt, Unohana Retsu couldn't help but smile again. How could such a sensible child not break one's heart?
However, the next moment, Unohana Retsu's expression towards Askin was icy cold. Her sudden change in demeanor even seemed to lower the surrounding temperature. Her killing intent had locked onto Askin; he couldn't escape.
Fear gripped Askin, and from this murderous intent, he saw his own death. Instinctively, he shot an arrow at Unohana Retsu. Askin turned to flee, not even having time to condense the Poison Ring.
However, based on Askin's previous sneak attack, Unohana Retsu had already figured out his movement speed. His Hirenkyaku was decent, but definitely not among the top Quincy.
This speed is nothing compared to Unohana Retsu, a Bleach who has been immersed in the realm of Bleach for a thousand years.
In the blink of an eye, Unohana Retsu had already appeared behind Askin, leaving Askin's hasty arrow far behind.
Sensing the chilling killing intent behind him, Askin, his entire body shimmering with the light of his Blut Vene, turned to retaliate, only to be met with a sky full of blood-red blades.
Askin realized that those were blades formed from Unohana Retsu's blood using her Bankai. As long as he was cut by these blood blades, he could capture Unohana Retsu's Reishi and blood and adjust their the Deathdealing.
Askin was very confident that Quincy army, apart from those Soul King components, he and Giselle were the most difficult to kill.
Giselle transformed her body into a zombie, reaching a non-human level, while Askin was able to adjust the amount of the substance within his body that would kill him after being affected, thus surviving.
There was an opportunity! Having reached a dead end, Askin decided to take a gamble, stopping in his tracks and charging towards the incoming attacks.
Askin did indeed calculate his own abilities, but the only thing he overlooked was Unohana Retsu's terrifying swordsmanship. Her level of Zanjutsu, which had not improved for nearly a thousand years, reached a new peak after Tsuna's appearance.
As a sword demon who loves to slash, Unohana Retsu will not let go of any opportunity to fight Tsuna after he improves his strength, especially after Tsuna mastered the Rain attribute Beyond Bankai. Unohana Retsu's swordsmanship has far exceeded Yachiru's level.
In an instant, a thousand, ten thousand, countless blades struck, each one unpredictable and unsolvable, each one precisely aimed at Askin.
Askin's idea of taking a the Deathdealing dose to turn the tide was simply impossible, because Unohana Retsu didn't give him any time to adjust the Deathdealing!
In an instant, Unohana Retsu's figure appeared behind Askin. Askin, or rather, a skeleton named Askin, appeared behind Unohana Retsu.
The Deathdealing —this ability is extremely troublesome. Unohana Retsu knew this all too well. If you only give Askin one or two stabs, even if they pierce vital organs like the heart and throat, Askin won't die.
Because Askin can adjust the body's blood and oxygen requirements to lower the risk of death from those two fatal wounds.
So Unohana Retsu went all in, instantly dismembering Askin. Her bizarre and powerful Zanjutsu was something Askin's Blut Vene couldn't withstand.
Unohana Retsu didn't believe it. How could a skeleton without a trace of flesh and blood possibly be adjusted to the Deathdealing?
Just as Unohana Retsu had thought, the moment Askin turned into a skeleton, the spiritual pressure of the Supreme Poison Sphere immediately became chaotic. This was a sign of the domain collapsing, indicating that Askin could no longer maintain the Supreme Poison Sphere.
"Unohana- neechan, did we win?" Yuzu remembered Unohana Retsu's teachings very well. She quietly shifted her head and asked Unohana Retsu.
"Um..."
Just as Unohana Retsu was about to declare her victory, a rainstorm appeared without warning in the underground area of Fourth Division, ignoring the layers above ground. The raindrops, formed from pure Reishi, poured down on the crumbling skeleton.
His flesh and blood were rapidly recovering, making him much easier to save than the already deceased Lille Barro and his companions, who had just crossed the Askin of death.
His body was restored, and the wings of the Vollständig behind him became larger and wider. The resurrected Askin arrogantly ran his hands through his hair.
"Under His Majesty's leadership, we will not die!"
After saying this, Askin stuck out his tongue and touched the blood-soaked air. Due to Unohana Retsu's terrifying Zanjutsu, the air was filled with her blood and Reishi residue.
