Chapter 48: Anticlimactic
Dang ~ dang ~ dang ~ dang ~
The sounds of swords clashing against each other reverberated in the forest, sometimes followed by a consecutive loud sound.
Their surrounding was razed to the ground. The dense forest was in a mess because of the battle between two men. A bunch of holes on the ground was also found around them.
Ryzaki Sengyo was baffled as he watched the fight. He has always been confident in his own skill and his Zanpakutos ability, but upon seeing the battle unfolding in front of him, he realized that a Captains strength was beyond his understanding.
Meanwhile, after exchanging blows, Kimura Muyang twisted his foot and swung his sword at Watanabe Keiry, utilizing the momentum of the spin while pointing the palm of his other hand at Watanabe Keirys chest.
Watanabe Keiry managed to block Kimura Muyangs attack, but he noticed the blue light concentrating on Kimura Muyangs hand a little too late!
Had #33. Skatsui!
A blue flame was discharged from Kimura Muyangs hand, and the loud sound startled Ryzaki Sengyo, who was watching from the sidelines.
Whats up with that destructive power? Its just a #33 Kid. Ryzaki Sengyo has never been this overwhelmed by emotion after years. Be it Kimura Muyangs Reiatsu, Zanjutsu, Kid, and even raw power were so overwhelming that even his heart was stirred upside down.
Kimura Muyang was just a Lieutenant, no different than him. Kimura Muyang even just graduated last year, and even though he didnt say it out loud, he was certain that Kimura Muyang was just lucky. He also believed that the rumor about Kimura Muyang was exaggerated by a bunch of ignorant people and just laughed it off.
But now that he saw what this lucky brat was capable of firsthand, Ryzaki Sengyo was so embarrassed! Even the apathetic Ryzaki Sengyo was overwhelmed by emotion as he watched the fierce battle.
Watanabe Keiry was covered in smoke after being blasted away by Kid. However, instead of chasing Watanabe Keiry and followed up with another attack, Kimura Muyang waited and ascertained Watanabe Keirys condition.
Meanwhile, Watanabe Keiry furrowed his brows upon seeing the injury that he sustained from taking on Kimura Muyangs Kid on the chest. Rather than an injury, it was more of a bruise. After all, he was confident when it came to toughness.
What really bothered Watanabe Keiry was Kimura Muyang. Watanabe Keirys biggest advantage was his extraordinary physique. His tough physique gave him more strength and speed than an average Shinigami, but both Kimura Muyangs speed and power rivaled his.
During the attack just now, it was as if Watanabe Keirys advantage in physique was completely meaningless. Not only that, Kimura Muyang kept blasting him with Kid and some other attacks from his blind spot. Indeed, the Low-Level Kid that Kimura Muyang used earlier barely caused any damage, but it was quite pesky and threw off Watanabe Keirys rhythm.
What Watanabe Keiry was unaware of was the fact that Kimura Muyang constantly strengthened his physique as per Shiuns instruction, so when it came to the physique, Kimura Muyang was way above an average Shinigami. In fact, it was Kimura Muyang who was surprised that Watanabe Keiry turned out to be that tough. Even though he used the low-level Kids earlier, knowing that it wouldnt inflict that much damage on Watanabe Keiry, he was still surprised that it only threw off Watanabe Keirys rhythm.
After a while, Kimura Muyang still didnt see any movement from the smoke, so he thought that Watanabe Keiry must be planning to hide in the smoke.
Kimura Muyang was getting tired of it and said: Are you planning to hide? Just dont forget that you are still a fugitive. Are you sure its wise to drag this on?
Seeing that Watanabe Keiry still showed no sign of coming out, Kimura Muyang was getting impatient. He raised Zanpakuto up high and struck down.
An azure crescent-like compressed air blew came out from Kimura Muyangs Zanpakuto, blowing away the smoke, revealing Watanabe Keiry, who was standing there, completely unfazed.
I thought you would use this chance to attack.
Kimura Muyang asked because he found it odd.
Are you holding back or what?
Its too late. Watanabe Keiry shook his head with a helpless look on his face.
? Kimura Muyang froze for a moment as he didnt understand what Watanabe Keiry meant, but his expression changed as he looked around.
Before he realized it, there were two figures beside Ryzaki Sengyo.
Captain Kyraku, Sister Kirio! Kimura Muyang said in surprise as he saw them, Since when did you guys?
Just now. Hikifune Kirio replied as he looked at Kimura Muyang with a satisfied look.
This is quite a mess, hahaha. To think that youve come this far, Kimura. Im honestly surprised. Kyraku Shunsui said with a smile after observing their surrounding.
Uhthis
Before Kimura Muyang could say a word, Hikifune Kirio interrupted him.
Well discuss that later, Captain Kyraku. Captain Watanabes affair comes first. After a slight glance at Kyraku Shunsui, Hikifune Kirio turned to Watanabe Keiry, Ill let you choose, Captain Watanabe. Either give yourself up, or Captain Kyraku will force you?
Despite giving Watanabe Keiry two options, Hikifune Kirio already took his stance, ready to subdue Watanabe Keiry if he tried anything funny.
Watanabe Keiry seemed hesitant, but in the end, he sheathed Zanpakuto. Apparently, he had no intention to resist.
Seeing Watanabe Keirys response, Kyraku Shunsui and Hikifune Kirio sighed in relief, but they didnt let their guard down. Kyraku Shunsui walked toward Watanabe Keiry without taking his eyes off Watanabe Keirys Zanpakuto and patted him on the shoulder. He seemed to be whispering something to Watanabe Keiry, and Kimura Muyang noticed that Watanabe Keiry seemed to calm down a bit.
Kyraku Shunsui then turned toward Kimura Muyang and said, Okay, its fine now, so put away your Zanpakuto, Kimura. Watanabe will not resist anymore.
What? It didnt quite sink in for Kimura Muyang yet, Dont tell me its over already?
Yes, or are you expecting something else, Lil Yangyang? Hikifune Kirio was already right beside Kimura Muyang after a quick Shunpo, you still think its not troublesome enough and want to make things worse? Even Azashiro Syas affair is not taken care of yet.
Thats not Its justjust
Kimura Muyang looked towards Watanabe Keiry and asked wonderingly: Why didnt you use Bankai? You might be able to escape if you use Bankai.
Bankai? Watanabe Keiry looked back at Kimura Muyang weirdly and seemed as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and ended up not saying anything else.
Hearing Kimura Muyangs question, Kyraku Shunsui and Hikifune Kirios expression changed, and they slowly reached out to their hands Zanpakutos hilt. Seeing Watanabe Keiry sigh, they were a little bit relieved but remained vigilant.
Kimura, youll be responsible for escorting Watanabe Ichiro. Were going back now.
Kyraku Shunsui immediately ordered Kimura Muyang to carry Watanabe Ichiro back before he said anything weird again.
Kyraku Shunsui and Hikifune Kirio glanced at each other, and both of them seemed relieved. Fortunately, everything was resolved without a hitch. If Watanabe Keiry decided to use Bankai out of desperation, theyd have another problem at hand.
When Kimura Muyang carried Watanabe Ichiro, Ryzaki Sengyo also followed him. Watanabe Keiry was escorted by Kyraku Shunsui and Hikifune Kirio as they made their way back to Seireitei.
