The Unforgiven Shinigami, Chapter 77 Retsu Unohana's Deathmatch! (Boom!)
A thunderous sound swept across the sky, and the impact whipped up a gust of wind carrying away a large amount of debris.
A blanket flew by.
With a gentle swing of the giant axe, he tore the blanket in two. The burn scar covered his right eye, leaving him only able to look towards the Hall of the Divine Court with his left eye.
Two terrifying Reiatsu were locked in a pure battle, the clash of blades generating a chilling fear.
Even from this distance, I can't shake that feeling.
Baraggan's face lit up with joy, even the deep wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and he burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Shinigami, well done! Keep up the good work and wear down Aizen's strength!"
A strong wind whipped up her cascading hair, Retsu Unohana casually pushed the refrigerator aside, glancing towards the Hall of the Divine Court.
Her eyes held a hint of worry. What had happened?
Why did Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Reiatsu disappear?
What are Ichibē Hyōsube, Kisuke Urahara, Ōetsu Nimaiya doing?
Thinking of this, she turned to the enemy before her and said, "To actually cheer for Shinigami, it seems you have no loyalty to Aizen."
"Loyalty? Hmph, don't be ridiculous."
Baraggan's smile vanished, replaced by a look of disgust. He arrogantly declared, "I am the true king of the Divine Realm."
I can tell.
Retsu Unohana smiled and chimed in.
The other person had a crown-shaped skeletal structure on his head, a golden compass at his waist, and wore an outer garment resembling a long robe; he practically had the words "I want to be king" etched on his face.
He wasn't very focused on the fight just now, and he dealt with her attacks rather perfunctorily, seemingly wanting to conserve his strength for a later opportunity.
Retsu Unohana wanted to rush to the Hall of the Divine Court, and said gently, "Why don't you join forces with us to deal with Aizen?"
"Haha, how ridiculous! You Shinigami are not worthy to be compared to me."
The wind whipped through his pale hair, Baraggan arrogantly retorted, "Even Aizen wanted to rebel, so why would I care about these Shinigami? However, I think you have some good looks."
"As for serving tea, you are certainly qualified to serve me."
"Don't act like a kid at your age, talking nonsense while you're awake."
Seeing the opponent's arrogance, Retsu Unohana abandoned the idea of joining forces and decided to finish the battle quickly. "He claims to be the true king of the Divine Realm, but in front of Aizen, he's so scared that he wouldn't even dare to step on Aizen's shadow."
They only dare to talk big behind people's backs, acting like local tyrants.
I believe the infamous King of Wild Boar Mountain is none other than Your Excellency.
Her tone was gentle, and she smiled throughout. From a distance, onlookers might have thought she was saying something kind.
Hearing her mockery, Baraggan's face turned ugly. He turned his giant axe upside down to the ground and said with a sinister expression, "I've decided that it's better to kill a woman as ungrateful as you."
"Rot away, Arrogante!"
The ruby, resembling an eyeball, embedded in the center of the giant axe, suddenly emitted light, and pink flames Baraggan's entire body.
A pointed golden crown emerged from the flames, followed by long, jet-black hair like a coat. Four ivory-like white bones protruded from either side of the skull, inlaid with gold, and ended in bright red flames.
Five pairs of ribs supported the cherry-red flames, and gorgeous gold ornaments hung from her waist. Her lower body was covered with black fur that resembled a long skirt.
The shape of the giant axe in Baraggan's hand also changed, becoming more Haki than before, with gold and rubies in the center, a black blade, and a blood-red edge.
"This is the consequence of angering this old man."
Baraggan raised his left arm, and a burst of cherry-red mist shot forward, instantly turning any debris blown by the wind into dust particles.
Retsu Unohana didn't choose to fight head-on; she immediately used Shunpo to dodge and glanced at her original spot.
The walls of the house became brittle and then, like burnt paper, began to disintegrate in the strong wind.
The cherry-red mist did not touch the houses; it merely swept across the sky.
Retsu Unohana frowned, recalling the word "rotten" that Baraggan had just used.
If one is too slow to dodge or doesn't dodge far enough, one might end up like that building.
"Hahaha, you're free to run away!"
Baraggan let out an arrogant laugh, and said with extreme arrogance, "No matter where you flee, you cannot escape death."
Pink mist began to spread from beneath our feet, obliterating not only the debris but also the wind itself.
Before his power, objects, whether tangible or intangible, all meet only one fate: death.
Baraggan's Arrogante's power is aging.
Nothing, whether living thing or object, can escape the death brought about by the passage of time.
That's the source of his arrogance.
No one can escape death, so no one can defeat him.
Because he is the embodiment of death.
"Why don't you attack? It's too late to regret it now."
Baraggan opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of cherry-red mist.
"!" Retsu Unohana hurriedly dodged with Shunpo, and a kilometer away, the houses in her line of sight instantly decayed and collapsed.
Her sleeves were also stained with the aura of death.
With a flash of light, the sleeve was severed, revealing a forearm as white as a lotus root, and a slash was unleashed forward.
"A pointless act of resistance." Baraggan didn't even use his axe; he only needed to let the slash exceed the allotted time, and naturally, the slash would cease.
"You cannot approach me, you cannot touch me, and even slashes are ineffective. Is the next step the Kidō?"
" Hadō #73, Sōren Sōkatsui!"
Retsu Unohana attempted to attack with Kidō, the azure flames accompanying the impact as she charged forward into that area of death.
Under her gaze, even a high-level Kidō couldn't advance more than a hundred meters before vanishing.
"Ha ha."
Baraggan burst into laughter again, loudly mocking, "Before my abilities, all is in vain!"
"If you talk so big, then why are you still afraid of Aizen?"
Retsu Unohana retorted sharply.
This sentence silenced Baraggan.
A moment later, the golden chains on Baraggan's body trembled, his cloak-like black fur fluttered, his Reiatsu surged outwards, and his mental defenses completely collapsed. "I will make sure you can never utter another word from that mouth of yours."
Little girl!
" The Bankai Minazuki."
Retsu Unohana did not hold back any longer.
She deliberately provoked the old man, partly because she disliked his incessant chatter, and partly to exploit his arrogance and draw closer to him.
Her greatest skill is Zanjutsu; wherever her blade touches, no one in the world is immune to her power.
However, Baraggan did not take the initiative to approach, but instead chose to continuously launch long-range attacks with that terrifying ability from the outside.
Besides hiding, she really had no effective way to retaliate.
However, in that case, Baraggan wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short time either, and would only be able to wage a war of attrition.
Retsu Unohana didn't want things to come to that, so she deliberately provoked him, forcing him to get closer to her.
Crimson blood seeped from the air and from the blade, and an invisible space quietly unfolded outward, allowing no one to intrude.
Baraggan Sonído before her, raised the Gran Caida, and brought it down amidst a cherry-red mist.
A cold glint appeared in Retsu Unohana's eyes. She used to be known as the Yachiru, which included a gambler's style of one-hit kills.
One strike brings life, another brings death.
The blood-red blade extends and swings out; it's a contest of who can strike the opponent faster.
Baraggan was filled with disdain; anything that came near him would decay, so there was no need to stop it.
However, the Blood Blade did not disappear; to be precise, it disappeared one layer only to be replaced by another, thus avoiding annihilation.
Baraggan sensed something was wrong. The Gran Caida was about to touch Retsu Unohana, and at that distance and speed, his axe was definitely a little slower.
Don't try to assemble it!
Baraggan hurriedly Sonído and retreated, his ribs cleaved open by the blood-stained blade, and a large amount of blood splattered out from the cherry-red flames.
"Ah!"
Baraggan let out a scream, his skeletal face expressionless, his voice filled with shock, "Impossible! How could your blood blade have struck me?!"
Retsu Unohana didn't explain; her attack had failed, and she had used Kidō again to confirm something.
The rate of aging.
The slash was unleashed with all her might, advancing several hundred meters. The Kidō, though also at full power, was no match for the slash, disappearing in a mere hundred meters.
She concluded that the rate of aging depended on the strength of Reiatsu, so she adopted a strategy of dividing the blood blade into layers.
Each layer is covered with Reiatsu to reduce the effects of aging.
She underestimated Baraggan's speed, which prevented her from inflicting a fatal blow.
Retsu Unohana caught up with Shunpo, and swung her blood-red blade once more.
Despite his arrogance, Baraggan still had some insight, noticing that the blood blade was actually flowing and realizing what tactics his opponent was using.
He was filled with rage, thinking that this would be enough to defy death?
The Gran Caida swung downwards, severing the blood-stained blade.
"Huh?" Baraggan was surprised; he had thought there would be a struggle involved.
Retsu Unohana held the broken Blood Blade forward, and from the broken end, another bright red blade shot out, sticking to the broken piece, and swung it in a crescent shape toward Baraggan.
He opened his mouth and exhaled a thick, cherry-red death mist, even stronger than before, which even the layers of blood blades couldn't block.
The cherry-red flames within the skull's eye sockets flickered, attempting to sweep across again and slice Retsu Unohana in two.
Unexpectedly, Retsu Unohana's attack did not end. With her rich combat experience, she immediately changed her offensive strategy after discovering that the Blood Blade was gone.
Aside from her Zanjutsu, her Hakuda are also top-notch among Shinigami.
With a powerful strike, he broke through the cherry-red mist, flesh and blood clinging to his hand bones, advancing with ferocious momentum.
This move was completely beyond Baraggan's expectations, causing his movements to become somewhat sluggish.
He pierced through the crown and skull of Baraggan with his bare hand, crushing the cherry-red flames within.
Retsu Unohana succeeded in her attack, immediately severing her own arm. She Shunpo back, her clothes stained with the aura of death.
She hurriedly tore her clothes open and threw them outside, but her chest was too prominent, already hinting at death.
To protect herself, she used her blood blade to cut off a portion of her chest, then used the Kaidō to heal that area.
A man stood barefoot on the rooftop, his long hair fluttering in the wind. "Are you still breathing?"
