Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

His figure flashed, and with a quick step, he vanished from the spot.

Ayasegawa Yumichika shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and then rushed forward as well.

As expected, just as Madarame Ikkaku had predicted, what appeared before them was a gigantic Gillian.

It stood there like an unshakeable mountain, radiating a powerful aura that inspired awe.

It seemed to be summoning something, and the terrifying spiritual pressure distorted the surrounding air.

Beside it, several other phantoms were baring their teeth and claws, attacking the fleeing people.

These monstrous faces were contorted with rage, their eyes gleaming with greed and cruelty.

Their appearance made the whole scene even more chaotic.

People ran in terror, trying to escape this land of death.

"Bloom, vine peacock!"

Just then, Ayasegawa Yumichika shouted.

In an instant, the knife in his hand transformed into a peacock-like split blade, consisting of four forked blades, all shaped like sickles.

Even though he was in the middle of a battle, he couldn't help but admire the efficiency of Aozaki Mayuki and Kusajishi Yachiru.

In just a few minutes, they successfully evacuated the nearby crowd, turning the area into a deserted battlefield.

"I'm here to settle this score with you!"

With a loud shout, Madarame Ikkaku flashed forward and charged towards the giant monster like a cannonball.

He was incredibly fast, leaping dozens of meters in the blink of an eye to reach the monster.

He held a long spear and thrust it fiercely at the monster's head, intending to pierce its skull in one fell swoop.

Is that all?

Madarame Ikkaku, suspended in mid-air, also thought to himself that it seemed a bit boring.

He had expected the battle to be intense, but it ended so quickly.

next moment,

Clang!

A crisp sound reached their ears.

Ayasegawa Yumichika raised his head and subconsciously looked at Madarame Ikkaku.

In that instant, a golden light flashed across Kyliana's jet-black body.

The light was like a pillar of light falling from the sky, protecting Kylian inside.

"That's... a reverse coating?"

Ayase Gawa Yumichika only felt a blur before his eyes, and his hot-blooded best friend had already rolled to the ground some distance away.

Madarame Ikkaku quickly got up from the ground, blood still trickling from his forehead.

Seeing that his life was not in danger, Ayasegawa Yumichika breathed a sigh of relief.

But when you look up and see the huge black hole in the sky, you can't help but gasp.

Inside the dark chamber were nine identical clown masks, each a gigantic white mask.

Their pitch-black bodies were squeezed together, resembling a huge, ferocious monster.

"It's normal that you can't break through the membrane released by nine Kylians at the same time. Don't be discouraged."

A plain, unremarkable white sword strike swept across.

The reflective film is as fragile as thin paper, and it shatters in an instant like pieces of glass.

That wasn't all; the pressure from the broken membrane was still shooting out.

The protected Kylian, along with the nine in the sky, were torn in two by this terrifying force.

"Boss..."

"Boss Zhenyue!"

"Ah Yue is amazing!!"

The three exclamations of surprise rang out simultaneously.

Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika turned around in surprise.

Aozaki Mayuki stood quietly behind the two, her expression as calm as ever, and sheathed her sword.

It was only then that they noticed that Aozaki Mayuki was holding someone else in his arms.

It was a petite body, curled up in Aozaki Mayuki's broad chest.

"Girls?"

Ayase Gawa Yumichika couldn't help but utter a question in a low voice.

He examined the face closely and indeed found it to have a feminine, delicate profile.

However, upon further observation, one notices her figure...

The vast plains filled him with doubt.

Could this person not be a real girl, but one of my own kind, a beautiful boy just like me?

Aozaki Mayuki, unaware of Ayasegawa Yumichika's thoughts, nodded slightly upon hearing his question.

The girl in his arms, with blood at the corner of her mouth, frowned slightly.

She seemed to notice the strange looks and sensed a strange malice.

But her consciousness was already blurred, and she was unable to think much.

Finally, the girl's mind was overwhelmed by exhaustion, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 288 Feeling at Ease

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling.

She stared blankly at the bright chandelier on the wooden plank in front of her, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

"So clean."

The girl exclaimed unconsciously.

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice rang out:

Are you awake?

The voice was crisp and gentle, as if it could penetrate one's soul, making one feel warm and comfortable.

The girl turned her head and found that the sharp pain in her chest made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me help you!"

That pleasant voice came again, and a handsome face she had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of the girl.

Those were deep and bright eyes, shining like a dazzling star.

The owner of this face looked at the girl with gentle eyes, his gaze filled with concern.

"I think I've seen you before. May I ask who you are...?"

The girl, feeling a little shy as he stared at her with those handsome eyes, asked a question.

"I am the captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 of Seireitei. My name is Aozaki Mayuki."

The man answered with a smile.

Upon hearing the name, the girl immediately panicked.

She only knew a superficial understanding of Seireitei, but she knew that the captain was a big shot among the Grim Reapers.

They were beings of such noble stature that she had never encountered before!

She was so nervous she didn't know what to do, and could only stammer:

"Ah, so it's the Lord of Seireitei... I'm so sorry, I... I..."

Aozaki Mayuki gently shook her head, comforting the girl as she said:

"It's alright, don't be nervous. I just came to see you, Ms. Hisa..."

Aozaki Mayuki scratched her head, gave an apologetic smile, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I asked about your name without permission."

"How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

His eyes were full of concern as he carefully observed Fei Zhen's reaction.

The girl took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She looked at Aozaki Mayuki gratefully, forced a smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"No, I should be the one apologizing to you..."

"I'm so sorry that I've caused you and the Gotei 13 so much trouble because of me."

She shook her head gently, her face showing deep self-reproach.

Fei Zhen hurriedly waved her hand, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Besides, you saved my life. This is an immense favor. How could Feizhen possibly blame you?"

Her tone was full of sincerity and gratitude.

"I will never forget this kindness. I should be the one thinking about how to repay your kindness."

"To repay a debt of gratitude..."

Aozaki Mayuki murmured to herself, lost in thought.

"Yes, please give me this opportunity."

Fei Zhen nodded seriously.
