Shinigami the Unforgiven, Chapter 11: Are You Afraid? The cave was dark and filled with a strong smell of blood.
Shiraishi distracted Ichigo Kurosaki and looked at the big man, who was very strong, wearing a gray-brown cloak and a hood, making his face unclear.
The only thing that's clear is that he's very strong, capable of surpassing even the lowest- Captain-level combat power.
"My name is Shiraishi. What's your name?"
Shiraishi asked a question.
The tall man pulled back his hood, revealing long, curly brown hair that covered his ears. His face was unlike that of most Asians; it was very sculpted, like brown granite. "My name is Yasutora Sado," he said.
"Oh." Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that this person had also awakened the power of Fullbringer at a young age; otherwise, he would never have such strength.
Orihime Inoue was also one of them.
Why were these two able to awaken their powers earlier, while Ichigo Kurosaki only awakened his Shinigami powers this March?
According to his account, he awakened his Shinigami powers on March 15th after hearing Ishida describe the truth behind his mother's illness, and in a fit of anger, he awakened his Shinigami powers.
At the end of March, Uryū Ishida escaped from the village, and in early April he left using the items left behind by Kisuke Urahara.
Is this a coincidence?
Shiraishi fell into deep thought.
Behind me came the thud of steel claws hitting the ground, the clatter of gears turning, and the long, drawn-out sound of white steam billowing out.
A huge contraption consisting of turrets and buildings moved here.
Rukia leaped to the cave entrance, the stench of blood hitting her face made her frown. Looking at the gruesome scene, her expression darkened. "How could they do something so cruel?"
"Ugh." Orihime Inoue had followed behind, covered her mouth with her hand to suppress the urge to vomit.
In the wilderness, there are no laws, only morality to constrain a person's behavior.
Clearly, some people have no morals whatsoever.
In this chaotic era, they simply want to unleash their malice.
Where is Kurosaki -kun?
After a brief moment of shock, Orihime Inoue began asking where the missing Ichigo Kurosaki was.
"I'll have him deal with the murderer. Orihime, you dig a hole and bury these people."
Rukia, go over there and hunt, gather food and water.
After assigning them their tasks, Shiraishi turned around and looked out into the vast forest. Through her Spiritual Sense senses, she could feel two Reiatsu approaching.
call.
Ichigo Kurosaki pushed off the branch and landed on the next branch, his eyes quickly scanning his surroundings.
Below, deer graze; birds take flight from the branches; and occasionally, a magnificent tiger stalks itself slowly.
They did not sense the killer's Reiatsu.
This made him anxious, so he left the branch and went to the middle of the next branch.
A bubble suddenly appeared.
Bubbles?
Ichigo Kurosaki quickly realized something was wrong; how could there be bubbles in an empty forest?
Unable to dodge, he immediately placed Zangetsu in front of him.
Bang!
The bubble burst suddenly, and the powerful impact sent Ichigo Kurosaki flying backward dozens of meters, trying to steady himself.
With a snap, the branch broke, leaves rustled down, and the man landed on the ground. His forehead burned, and blood was slowly flowing out.
Zangetsu moved aside and saw that there were not just one bubble, but at least a hundred bubbles floating around him, reflecting colorful light.
Ichigo Kurosaki pursed his lips, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and scanned his surroundings.
Are you afraid?
Someone emerged from behind the tree.
He was of average appearance and neither particularly short nor tall; he was just an average, unremarkable person.
His blood-stained white T-shirt and brown trousers proved he was the murderer.
"That's the emotion of the weak."
He said with a smile, holding a long bubble wand in his hand. With just a turn, bubbles were blown out one by one. Instead of floating into the sky, they moved closer to Ichigo Kurosaki.
"Did you kill the people in that village?"
Ichigo Kurosaki asked again.
The man nodded and said, "Yes."
Ichigo Kurosaki grim face, "Why did you do that?"
"You're really strange. You're facing certain death yourself, yet you still have the mind to ask me why I killed someone."
The man's eyes held a hint of curiosity, yet he said nonchalantly, "There's no particular reason, I just find it interesting."
In this dog-eat-dog world, I am free to do whatever I want.
Actually, I didn't originally intend to kill them all; I just had my eye on a beautiful woman and wanted to kill her husband.
Thinking back to what had happened in the cave, the man's face showed a hint of relish. "It's just that the woman was too stubborn and didn't know what was good for her. In the end, I had to use her son to force her to agree."
Wow, maternal love is truly great. To test just how great it is, I made her carry a 20-pound load of rice barefoot across a plank full of nails, and she actually did it!
In a moment of exhilaration, I blew that child up. Now that I think about it, I should have tortured her slowly, driven her to the brink of collapse, before striking her."
The Fairy Tree Romance
A fierce Reiatsu erupted from the front. The man narrowed his eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately detonated all the bubbles.
This is Zanpakuto he obtained from a deceased Shinigami. Its Shikai ability is to create bubbles and control when they explode at will.
Hundreds of bubbles burst at once.
Ichigo Kurosaki felt no fear, only rage that nearly tore his chest apart. He couldn't believe that such scum could exist in this world.
He gripped the bandage on the hilt of the sword, channeled his Reiatsu, and began to spin it rapidly on the right side.
Shiraishi had taught him that during battle, he should make full use of the surrounding terrain and all available tools.
Don't be fixated on the knife in your hand.
Everything can be used as a knife.
Faced with the exploding bubbles, Ichigo Kurosaki's solution was to spin his sword. His Zangetsu was long and wide, and when spun, it was enough to cover the right side of his body and absorb the impact of the explosions above and below.
Then the person moved to the right, trying to avoid the explosion on the left.
Ichigo Kurosaki was pushing his shield forward through water, facing immense resistance.
As the explosion struck from the left, the powerful impact propelled him through the blast zone on the right.
Left hand, left foot, left waist; the Shihakushō was tattered and bleeding bright red blood.
He ignored it, his gaze catching sight of the man in the tree. He hurled Zangetsu away, letting the bandages slide across his right hand.
"Ha ha."
The man was still reeling from his explosion when the trees beside him parted, and he instinctively leaped backward.
Zangetsu severed his right hand at the wrist.
"Ah."
He let out a wail, his foot slipped, he lost his footing on the next branch, and fell to the ground.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he didn't even care about his Zanpakuto. He crawled on all threes, trying to escape.
Ichigo Kurosaki his way, his bloodied left hand clenched tightly, and slammed a punch into the mouth where Ichigo was trying to beg for mercy.
They broke all his teeth and shoved his entire Riot Games inside.
Are you afraid?
Ichigo Kurosaki asked coldly.
"Waaah." The sobbing coming from deep in his throat, and the tears welling up in Tong Kong's eyes, all revealed his current mental state.
This is the end you deserve, you scum!
Ichigo Kurosaki roared, grabbed his tongue, and yanked it out forcefully.
With another stroke, he severed the man's head.
