Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 450 An Unbreakable Alliance

The black and red spiritual pressure slashed and exploded on the carapace.

Although it failed to cut it in two, the violent impact still sent Machiri's nearly thirty-meter-long body tumbling to one side, crashing through two other buildings.

"Damn it! Who dares to interfere with my eating!"

Machiri roared in fury, and its massive insect body rose upright again amidst the ruins.

He turned the eyeless head toward the direction of the attack, his anger palpable.

Then his movements froze.

"It's you?!"

Machiri recognized the person who had come from the other side; it was Asuka, who was his enemy and not his friend, with whom he had a complicated relationship between two worlds!

The bird, carrying a long sword in one hand, landed on a broken stone pillar.

He looked at the deformed and ugly giant insect in front of him and waved his hand: "I wondered who made such a commotion. After all this time, it turns out to be you, you old geezer."

"Matou Zunken, you old monster, you didn't die in Fuyuki City, but instead ran off to Hueco Mundo and became a Hollow?"

"Hahaha!!!"

Upon hearing the bird call out her former name, Machiri did not become angry; instead, she burst into a maniacal laugh.

"The 'Dirty Palm Tree' is dead! You chose it, 'teammate'!!"

Machiri's massive body trembled violently, creaking and grinding as it spoke: "I sincerely wanted to become your ally and find the path to the root together, but you just wouldn't listen!"

"You didn't expect that, did you? I survived!"

"Not only did I survive, but I also commanded Aizen to assist me, achieving a perfect form that surpasses both Shinigami and Hollows!"

Machiri's gigantic maw was aimed at the bird, and dark purple light began to frantically gather within the void: "Since we've met here, let's settle both old and new scores!"

"I will devour your flesh and blood, along with your soul, as the best nourishment for my ascension to the throne of godhood!"

"God's throne?"

Asuka gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and the black and red karmic fire on the blade suddenly surged several times over.

"With that disgusting, cobbled-together shell of a person like you? You don't deserve it!"

boom!

The stone pillar beneath Asuka's feet shattered instantly, and he charged head-on into the Cero that Machiri was gathering!

"court death!"

Machiri roared, and a dark purple phantom flash with a diameter of more than five meters shot out.

At the same time, a violent dragon roar suddenly exploded beside the bird.

Having broken free from Machiri's restraints, the crimson dragon did not choose to flee, but instead charged towards the bird and Machiri with all its might!

"Forget about this guy." Asuka's heart skipped a beat.

Caught between two terrifying attacks, he found himself in an awkward situation: Machiri's deadly Cero in front and the ferocious Fairy Tale Dragon's destructive pounce from the side.

Just as he was preparing to unleash his Bankai to fight back, something unexpected happened before his eyes.

The giant dragon actually stood in front of him, using its fleshy wings to block the surging Cero!

Sizzle—!!

The dragon was struck squarely in the body, and blood containing crimson magic gushed out, instantly filling the air with a burnt smell.

But she just wouldn't back down.

The bird froze on the spot, its raccoon still in a forward-slashing stance, but its dark eyes were now filled with astonishment.

When the mad dragon and the giant worm that Machiri had transformed into descended from the sky, he considered countless possibilities.

He had considered that the mad dragon might take the opportunity to ambush him from behind, that she might escape while he was fighting Machiri, and even that she might join forces with that disgusting insect king to eliminate him first.

And to be honest, if Asuka hadn't already sensed that this was Camilla's true form...

It was truly difficult to reconcile the ugly fairytale dragon before me with the woman I had encountered in my dream that day.

Asuka never expected that this fairytale dragon, who had relentlessly haunted him in his dreams and wanted nothing more than to devour him... would actually shield him from an attack with its own flesh and blood at this critical moment of life and death.

"What...are you doing?"

He stared at the dragon convulsing in agony, his mind reeling.

Camilla's massive body collapsed before Asuka, but a weak woman's voice rang out: "Asuka...I'll...I'll protect you!!"

What is this guy doing?

"Hehe! What a deeply moving scene!"

Machiri, who had just unleashed a Cero, let out a sinister laugh.

His enormous arthropod body hovered in the night sky, and a destructive dark purple light began to gather again in his cylindrical maw.

"A dragon protecting a grim reaper? It seems you two are hiding some kind of secret!"

Machiri's voice was full of mockery: "But it doesn't matter. Since you're so reluctant to part with each other, I'll be merciful and swallow you both whole, so you can stay together in my stomach forever!"

"Noisy bedbugs!"

Suppressing his shock and absurdity, the bird roared angrily.

"Swastika—Karma Fire Ghoul!!"

Then, he completely released the spiritual pressure binding him, and the fiery wolf shadow behind him let out a deafening roar.

"That's right, that's it... You haven't forgotten..."

"7

Camilla looked at him, and her voice echoed in Asuka's mind again, making him feel dizzy.

But he did not respond.

Whatever's wrong with this mad dragon, now is not the time to investigate.

He faced the Cero that Machiri was gathering, transforming into a golden-red meteor and soaring into the sky!

"You're asking for death!" Machiri roared, his massive forelimbs slashing down at the bird in mid-air. "I've already attained transcendent power, do you still think you can do anything to me?!"

clang-!!!

The blade of the Fiery Wolf clashed violently with the obsidian carapace on Machiri's forelimbs!

Amidst the sparks flying, Asuka felt a dark spiritual energy flowing along the blade, attempting to devour his spiritual pressure.

"Trying to teach a fish to swim!"

You think you can pull this trick on me?

The Devouring Flame burned fiercely, and no matter how much Machiri urged his power, he could not affect the bird in the slightest, which made his face extremely ugly.

The two sides continued to clash, battling back and forth in the skies above London.

The crimson flames scattered and flew everywhere, constantly melting and tearing through Machiri's sturdy armor, exposing his fragile insect body.

The more they fought, the more terrified Machi became.

"This kid's strength has improved since Fuyuki City! Is this Bankai? Damn it!!"

Meanwhile, an anomaly occurred within the flames that devoured the creature.

Just now, in order to protect Asuka, a lot of dragon blood splattered onto Asuka's Death Armor and the blade of the bastard.

At that moment, the instant the power of the Fiery Devouring Wolf came into contact with that crimson blood, *whoosh!*

An unprecedentedly powerful and resonant sword cry suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the blade!

The sound was like a dragon's roar piercing the sky!

The bird's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just a moment ago, he felt that the Zanpakuto in his hand resonated with the wounded and panting dragon below in some extremely strange way.

"Ugh—!!!"

excruciating pain.

Without warning, an excruciating pain, as if it were tearing his soul in two, surged into his mind again, overwhelming all of Asuka's reason.

The real world before his eyes was brought to a standstill.

Then, it began to collapse violently.
