"Chad-kun?!" (from the novel "Bleach: The Wind Swordsman")
Orihime Inoue glanced back and looked through the hole in the wall. She could no longer see the room; only deep darkness remained, and the steady Reiatsu was gone.
She gritted her teeth, turned back, and continued running forward, tears streaming down her face.
I recall our first meeting, in front of an unmarked grave, the tall, strong man playing a guitar piece so tenderly, his voice deep and resonant.
Why?
Orihime Inoue felt as if a gaping hole had been torn in her chest; this wasn't the first time she had experienced the loss of a comrade.
There were also victims in the Zuellni.
She's not strong enough to get used to this kind of thing yet.
Orihime Inoue stepped through the last hole, a blast of cold air hitting her face. In the world filled with white frost, the black-haired girl lay there, her faint Reiatsu almost extinguished.
"I refuse the Sōten Kisshun!"
An orange Lightshield flew a distance away, enveloping Rukia's entire body. She rushed forward, collapsed onto the cold ground, and, with both hands on the Lightshield, unleashed all her Spiritual Power, pleading, " Kuchiki, don't die! Please, don't die!"
"Can you hear your comrades' voices? People expect a world where death should not exist!"
The man on the throne suddenly became agitated, his bright red eyes gleaming with excitement as he said, "As long as there is death, people will fear losing their companions, their families, and their loved ones."
Death brings these fears; only a world without death can bring peace and happiness. Now you should understand what I mean.
"Shut up, I'm not in the mood to listen to your toxic motivational speeches."
Shiraishi's face was cold; he was deeply surprised by Chad's death.
In terms of strength, Yasutora Sado is stronger than Rukia and Orihime Inoue, and has a greater chance of surviving.
But he chose to give them that hope of survival.
" Chad." Shiraishi murmured, the image of that taciturn man appearing in his mind, the gentle guitar sound he could no longer hear.
He gripped the hilt of his sword, sensing an unusual surge of Reishi rising from below. Was this Chad's Reishi?
No, the quantity is incorrect.
" Yasutora Sado has already died once. His Reishi are exactly the same as the Reishi in the air; you can't sense them at all."
Yhwach took a deep breath. Äs, Meninas McAllon, and Yasutora Sado were back by his side.
Thanks to these deceased, even the wind has become beautiful.
The entire Silbern is filled with fragments of his soul; whether it be Shinigami or Quincy, any sacrifice will become his sustenance.
"There's nothing to be sad about; the outcome of this gamble was predetermined from the start."
Yhwach, resting his cheek on his hand, paid no attention to Shiraishi's grip on his sword. "The battle Lloyd Brothers and the two captains will soon be over."
"As for my son, Ichigo, who was born in darkness, unfortunately, his opponent is Cang Du."
The Sternritter the strongest defense and is very effective against pure physical attacks; his defeat is only a matter of time.
Then it's your turn.
Three Schutzstaffel surrounded Shiraishi in a triangular formation.
He remained calm and said casually, "Don't underestimate Ichigo."
The lowest level of Silbern.
Ichigo Kurosaki was clearly not as confident as Shiraishi; he couldn't sense Chad's Reiatsu, nor could he sense Rukia's Reiatsu.
My mind is completely blank.
He had prepared himself mentally before coming, but being mentally prepared doesn't guarantee everything will be alright.
When he actually witnessed the death of his comrade, the hazy and disbelieving feelings completely disrupted his will to fight.
bite!
The black blade struck the dark gold skin, sending sparks flying, but it couldn't penetrate the skin.
Ichigo Kurosaki quickly jumped back, feeling exhausted, and began to pant heavily.
Chad, Rukia... no, I can't think about those things now.
He shook his head, trying to focus on the enemy in front of him, but he couldn't shake the two people out of his mind.
You seem very shaken; the death of your comrade must have hit you hard.
"Shut up! Chad is strong! Rukia is too, they didn't die so easily, they were just injured."
Ichigo Kurosaki retorted loudly.
Cang Du narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and said, "Kid, let me tell you something: there are many in the Sternritter stronger than you. This game should end."
" Vollständig, God's Steel Wall!"
Blue-white light waves surged from in front of him, a pentagram halo hovered above his head, and behind him were jagged blue-white light wings.
The pure white Quincy suit on Cang Du's body disappeared, replaced by a layer of black Hierro, as if a large barrel of molten steel had been poured over his head.
The hands are shaped like snake fangs, with tips that gleam with a metallic sheen.
This scene caused Ichigo Kurosaki to break out in a cold sweat, his hands trembling uncontrollably. The occasional glimpses of his dark gold skin that had appeared earlier had already left him defenseless.
Now it's just a solid iron statue, how can we fight it?
"Are you afraid? Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Cang Du finished speaking, he lunged forward with a Hirenkyaku kick, his right arm stabbing at Ichigo Kurosaki's wide-eyed eyes.
He quickly turned his head to the side, and a cut appeared on his cheek, with blood flowing down the wound.
"So fast! "Ichigo Kurosaki thought in surprise, his movements becoming increasingly defensive as he tried to create distance.
Cang Du raised his arms, and a python-shaped Reiatsu condensed behind him, then lunged forward to bite at Ichigo Kurosaki.
" Getsuga Tenshō!" He used his best move, a black and red crescent moon slash that split the python in two.
That's how the delay happened.
Cang Du used his Hirenkyaku to circle behind, slashing his left arm toward Ichigo Kurosaki's neck while thrusting his right arm directly toward his chest.
Unable to create distance and having just used Getsuga Tenshō, Ichigo Kurosaki hurriedly bent over, twisted his foot, and turned his body to swing his sword.
bite.
The immense force of the recoil caused Ichigo Kurosaki to split open, blood gushing out, and he could barely grip the hilt of his sword.
Cang Du didn't even let him have a moment of brief paralysis; his right arm turned downwards and stabbed into his back, the tip protruding from his chest.
Ichigo Kurosaki's genitals trembled, and his Reiatsu was rapidly leaving his body.
With a soft thud, Cang Du pulled his right arm out, blood trickling from the tip. "You can see your comrades now."
"Wait..." Ichigo Kurosaki his mouth, then his body slumped forward limply, "Cough, cough."
Blood was coughed up from the mouth.
Cang Du turned and left.
Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't die, how could he die like this?!
Rukia and Chad are in danger. If we just let Cang Du leave, Inoue and Captain Unohana will also be in danger.
Move, my body, move quickly, stop the bleeding!
I want to fight that guy again!
Ichigo Kurosaki struggled to sit up.
Cang Du stopped.
He remained in his supporting posture. A middle-aged man approached, his cloak billowing even though there was no wind. "Do you want to continue fighting? Or do you want to defeat him? Or do you want to survive?"
Which one do you want to choose?
"Fighting and surviving without purpose is meaningless; I want to defeat him!"
Ichigo Kurosaki roared.
