I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

These are symptoms that result from excessive blood loss.

"Damn it, is this the end?"

Kensei Rokusha harbored resentment in his heart.

I am really too weak.

He couldn't even avenge Bai.

Suddenly, Kensei Rokusha sensed something and looked up.

Suddenly, the sky above turned into a black starry sky, with a magnificent Milky Way flowing through it.

Then, the starry sky spread outwards, eventually swallowing up all the dark clouds in the sky.

"Ho ho ho ho..."

The dark clouds that had obscured the sky and earth dissipated, and in an instant, Mitsumaru's Bankai, Meito, descended, only to be directly destroyed.

Under the blazing sun, the purple earth that had turned into ghostly soil rapidly evaporated into a large amount of purple mist, which was then dispersed by the sunlight.

This transformed this land of the dead into the human world once more.

Without the support of the Netherworld, the skeletons summoned by Setsuna no Takemaru lost their enhancement and returned to their original strength.

At this moment, the whirlwind surrounding Kensei Muguruma finally displayed its true power, pulverizing all the skeletons that approached him.

"how is this possible?"

Setsuna Takemaru's eyes widened in disbelief that the sword that had broken his Bankai technique was actually the Tessaiga!

In his memory, he was the strongest among the three weapons: Setsuna no Meru, Tenseiga, and Tessaiga.

Only by joining forces can the Tenseiga and Tessaiga defeat themselves.

But now, this mere Tessaiga has actually managed to break through my Bankai...

Even if it's Lord Erin wielding the Tessaiga, that's still too much of an exaggeration.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."

In the few breaths that Setsuna Takemaru was distracted, Kensei Muguruma had already dragged his heavily injured body toward Setsuna Takemaru. The remaining skeletons could no longer stop him.

"Hmph, I am completely convinced that Tessaiga was defeated by Lord Erin."

"But who do you think you are? How dare you provoke me?"

"Prison Dragon Break!"

A purple, dragon-shaped phantom, accompanied by a raging tornado, engulfed the oncoming Kensei Muguruma...

"Tessaiga..."

Setsuna no Takemaru gritted his teeth. This time, his Bankai had been broken. When he returned to Lord Erin, he would probably be ridiculed by Tessaiga for a long time.

But this is the truth, and he has no way to refute it.

At this moment, the Prison Dragon in front dissipated, and Kensei Rokusha was covered in blood, swaying precariously.

However, he still took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Setsuna Takemaru, wrapping one arm around Setsuna Takemaru's waist.

"I got you!"

A grim smile appeared on Kensei Muguruma's face. Then, he pressed the brass knuckles of his other hand against Setsuna Takemaru's stomach.

Now, Kensei Muguruma has no strength left. His only hope is the explosive power he can gather in his brass knuckles after his Bankai.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

These explosive forces surged wildly from Kensei Muguruma's knuckle duster into Setsuna Takemaru's abdomen, causing Setsuna Takemaru's expression to change drastically.

"Let go, you madman, let go of me!"

As he spoke, Setsuna Takemaru continued to pound on Kensei Rokugawa's back with his hand, each blow causing Kensei to spit out a mouthful of blood.

However, this pain only spurred Kensei Muguruma to muster his last bit of strength, holding Setsuna Takemaru even tighter.

"hateful!"

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that Kensei Rokugakure was becoming more and more powerful under his attacks, Setsuna Takemaru raised his Zanpakuto high and thrust it down at Kensei Rokugakure.

"laugh……"

The sharp tip of the sword pierced through Kensei Muguruma's chest, but Kensei, whose body was already stained with blood, smiled.

Because all of his explosive power had been completely channeled into this guy's body.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

A large amount of explosive power exploded inside Setsuna Takemaru's body, causing him great damage.

Even Kensei Rokusha was thrown back by the aftershock of the explosion.

Watching Setsuna Takemaru being continuously blasted apart by the explosive force, Kensei Muguruma slowly closed his eyes.

"Bai, I've avenged you..."

"Whoosh!"

Erin's figure appeared between Kensei Muguruma and Setsuna Takemaru.

Seeing Setsuna Takemaru severely injured by the explosive force, Erin couldn't help but look at Kensei Muguruma in a new light.

Although Kensei Muguruma's victory this time was somewhat lucky, it was only after Setsuna no Takemaru's Bankai was absorbed by his own Meido.

But being able to seize that sliver of an opportunity to turn defeat into victory is quite remarkable.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

When Kensei Muguruma's explosive power was exhausted, Setsuna no Takemaru could maintain his current form and dissipated, leaving behind only a slightly damaged Zanpakuto.

With a thought, the Zanpakuto on the ground turned into blue spiritual particles and dissipated, having indeed been retrieved into Unlimited Blade Works by Erin.

The operation to seize the royal seal was a complete success.

Setsuna no Mikoto was severely injured, but he will recover after a period of rest.

Weapons like Roger Shanks, which have already been created by Erin, are stored in the space of Unlimited Blade Works. Erin only needs to consume a portion of his spiritual pressure to reforge them without having to recreate them.

Chapter 120 Ise Nanao

After using the Return Path to stabilize Kensei Muguruma's injuries, Erin carried Kensei Muguruma back to the cave where they had been hiding.

"Captain Erin, you're back."

Outside the cave, the vice-captain of the Ninth Division, Kunan Shirai, came skipping and jumping to greet them. The smile on her face showed no sign that she had just faced a near-death crisis a few days ago.

But the next moment, the lively girl's face turned pale.

"team leader……"

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

When Kunan Shiro saw Kensei Rokugaku being carried by Erin, he was almost stunned.

Kensei Muguruma is really scary to look at now.

Although he received treatment from Erin, Kensei Muguruma's injuries have stabilized.

However, this guy lost a lot of blood in the battle with Cong Yunya, especially after taking a hit from the Prison Dragon Break and being stabbed by Cong Yunya. If it weren't for Ailin, this guy would probably have died from blood loss.

Therefore, the current Kensei Muguruma is a complete "blood man".

Kunan believed that Kensei Muguruma was dead, so he ran to Erin and hugged the head of Kensei Muguruma that Erin was holding, shaking it back and forth frantically.

"Captain, don't scare me! Wake up, Captain..."

"Waaah, Captain, please wake up! I'll never call you an idiot again..."

"Woooooooo..."

"team leader……"

Erin's brow twitched. Seeing that the injuries that he had just healed in Kensei Muguruma were about to burst open, Erin had no choice but to lift Kunan Shiro up by the back of her clothes.

“Vice Captain Jiu Nanbai, I know you care about Captain Liu, but if you keep shaking him like this, Captain Liu might never wake up again.”

"what?"

Upon hearing Erin's words, Jiu Nanbai paused for a moment before understanding their meaning.

Captain Kensei Rokusha isn't dead yet, but if I keep shaking the captain's head, he might really die.

In an instant, Jiu Nanbai's face turned completely red: "I'm so sorry, Captain Erin, I thought..."

“I know, but Vice Captain Jiu Nanbai, you should at least have some confidence in your captain.”

"He fought a desperate battle, risking mutual destruction, to defeat one of their strongest opponents in order to avenge you."

That's right, it's defeating, not killing.

After all, Cong Yunya's injuries were only a little severe, not fatal.

“I’ve already treated him. From now on, I’ll leave the Sixth Vehicle Captain to you.”

"I will first report this mission to Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

"Ah."

After throwing Kensei Rokujo to Kushiro Kunan, Erin returned to the cave.

While claiming to be reporting the mission to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Erin was actually reflecting on the process of seizing the Royal Seal, wondering if he had revealed any flaws in his actions.

After all, even if Erin wanted to send a message to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, he didn't have anything to contact him.

Currently, there are no cell phones or computers in the modern world, so the Grim Reapers communicate through intelligence units and Hell Butterflies.

The experimental data filled room after room.

Erin could only send the message back through the Hell Butterfly after it found him and the others.

After closing his eyes and reviewing his recent behavior, actions, and words, Erin silently gave himself a thumbs up.
