Lille Barro planned to pull the trigger again and kill the man who was talking to His Majesty.

His ability to the X-Axis is a conceptual attack; once caught, it will inevitably leave a hole, and even His Majesty is no exception.

Of course, he wouldn't use this ability on His Majesty.

As the captain of the Schutzstaffel, his loyalty to His Majesty far surpasses that of the other two.

The first to be endowed with Schrift and power by His Majesty, representing his status in His Majesty's heart.

He would repay that trust with his life, his finger reaching for the trigger, when an unexpected crisis arose, and he hurriedly used his Hirenkyaku to dodge.

A dark, shadowy blade attacked from behind, then transformed into a blurry humanoid figure. The darkness receded, revealing a man in a floral coat standing there. "Oh dear, so cautious."

" Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyōraku."

Lille muttered to himself, "What an insidious way of doing things."

"I don't want to be said that by someone who ambushed others."

Shunsui Kyōraku retorted sarcastically, his eyes narrowing slightly. The man before him had short white hair, his left eye closed, covered by a black crosshair mark.

He was wearing a sleeveless shirt with fur shoulder armor on the right side and a green fur bicorn hat.

There was a small, Wandenreich symbol on each side of the hat, and he wore a pair of white gloves with an X-shaped embroidery.

It looks like the last member of the Schutzstaffel, Lille Barro.

He thought a sneak attack might have some effect, but it seems he was being too naive.

"You think you can stop me from challenging one person?"

Lille narrowed his right eye, raised the sniper rifle, and pulled the trigger forward.

Without any warning, Shunsui Kyōraku was struck in the chest by the power that the X-Axis, and was completely shattered.

"We won! "Lille shouted in his heart.

The Daruma-san Fell Down!

He quickly dodged with Hirenkyaku, the sniper rifle sliced in half by the knife. "How is this possible?! You're not dead!"

With her floral overcoat billowing in the wind, Shunsui Kyōraku said with a smile, "Oh dear, haven't you ever played the roly-poly toy game?"

What do you mean by that?

Lille's expression was solemn, completely unaware of how this had anything to do with the roly-poly game. A game... he suddenly realized that Shunsui Kyōraku's Zanpakuto ability seemed to be playing games with people.

"This is one of Katen Kyōkotsu's abilities; the roly- Daruma-san Fell Down."

Shunsui Kyōraku began explaining the limitations and rules of the ability to Lille: firstly, the oni must remain within the participant's line of sight.

Secondly, if a participant is seen by a ghost during the activity, they lose.

Third, if a participant touches the ghost before being seen by it, they win.

"I see, I understand now. Explaining your abilities to the enemy... you don't seem like the foolish type."

Lille coldly replied, "Or are you underestimating me?"

"No, it can only be considered a game if both parties know the rules."

Shunsui Kyōraku smiled. His ability could be activated without explanation, but its power was far less than if he explained it to the enemy.

This is an unavoidable limitation.

"Is that so? Once I see through your actions and find you, according to your rules, you will die."

"Well, that is, provided you can find me."

Shunsui Kyōraku readily admitted this. If the enemy found out, he would die regardless of whether he admitted it or not. He could exploit loopholes in the rules of the game, but he could not break the rules.

Lille raised the broken gun; it was a sniper rifle made of Reishi, and even a small part of the barrel wouldn't affect its attack.

Shunsui Kyōraku Shunpo, "Tumbler Falls Down!"

"Yes."

Lille's gaze moved from left to right. He understood, or rather, his heart had already sensed the other's Reiatsu before he could even see it with his naked eye.

The gun barrel turned accordingly. "Naive. You think you can use the same trick on me twice?"

The trigger hole, with its cross-shaped wound, struck Shunsui Kyōraku in the chest.

You've caught my shadow again.

The voice floated up from behind, like a messenger from Hell whispering in your ear.

"This guy?!" Lille was utterly astonished. He had clearly sensed that Reiatsu, so why had he missed?

"People who fight using Reiatsu will unconsciously use their vision and Spiritual Sense to see physical objects."

The more focused one is on combat, the more overwhelmingly Spiritual Sense becomes compared to sight.

Kageokuri is the process of projecting the afterimage of a shadow onto other parts of the game while the shadow is being closely observed.

If the other party's Spiritual Sense is too strong, the afterimage left behind will also be extremely strong.

Shunsui Kyōraku further explained his abilities, thereby amplifying their power.

Lille turned around, a moment of doubt crossing his mind: was this real or fake?

The trigger wouldn't pull, and then he felt a surge of Reiatsu behind him. He quickly looked down, and Katen Kyōkotsu brushed past his back. He slid to the other side, turned around, and said, "You bastard."

Why were we so afraid when we were children?

Shunsui Kyōraku's voice was like that of a poet, full of sighs. His movements were extremely fast. First, he used the Kageoni's ability to step on the shadow behind Lille, and then he sent Kageokuri.

Lille's overly powerful Spiritual Sense caused the afterimage to transform into five Shunsui Kyōraku, leaping high into the air.

"Fearing the shadows."

Five swords pierced through Lille simultaneously, and Shunsui Kyōraku's sword followed, piercing his chest.

No sooner said than done, not even a second had passed.

No blood flowed.

Shunsui Kyōraku lowered his eyes. He opened them three times, to be honest, because he wanted to kill Lille before he could open them three times. However, Rijie's strength was insufficient to kill him at that time.

[I recommend Wild Fruit Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]

"Looks like you're not surprised."

Lille calmly replied, "To make me, the closest to God, open my eyes three times is unforgivable!"

Shunsui Kyōraku Shunpo retreated using Shunpo; he couldn't stay there any longer and needed to move to an area where he could use Bankai.

He specifically reserved a spot so as not to affect others.

A sudden burst of light emanated from his left eye, Lille entered the Vollständig filling. His head was completely covered by a white collar, and his face had a pair of vertical yellow stripes.

It has a huge halo above its head, its body is covered by a white pupa-like substance, and its arms are replaced by eight white, hole-like wings that extend from its back.

Unable to move? Shunsui Kyōraku discovered something beyond the intelligence: the three holes in one of the wings suddenly lit up with golden light.

The next second, the beam of light struck Shunsui Kyōraku's body.

"Hmm." Shunsui Kyōraku could only feel fortunate that the attack wasn't aimed at vital organs. Was there a limitation on both sides?

Given his personality, it's hard to imagine that he would choose to slowly torture his enemy if he had the chance to kill him with a single blow.

Despite his thoughts, Shunsui Kyōraku used Shunpo to escape from here, hoping to reach the designated area in time. He couldn't use his Bankai in a crowded place.

The corrosive Reiatsu is secondary; the real difficulty lies in the fact that the final attack has such a large range that it can kill everyone caught in it.

He Shunpo in the prepared area, blood dripping down. Where was the enemy?

"Damn it," Shunsui Kyōraku realized that the target was the Captain-Commander, but he didn't even chase after them, so he just attracted a lot of hatred for nothing.
