However, it was still a complete failure.

But... I saw it—

I've seen the movement trajectory of Ryougi Shiki—

"Ahhh—Crescent Moon—!"

"Secret Sword—"

"The swallows return."

*Pfft*

'What...is that?' Feeling a sharp pain shooting through his shoulders, Kurosaki Ichigo stared wide-eyed at Ryougi Shiki before him, and at the Zanpakuto dripping blood from her hand...

That was his own blood.

"Just now... I think I saw three swords..." Kurosaki Ichigo said through gritted teeth, "What, this is the power of your Zanpakuto? It's called... Swallow Return?"

"No, this is not the power of a Zanpakuto, it's just something simpler, swordsmanship."

"Ugh?"

"It was a long time ago... I learned this sword technique from someone else, Three Swords in an Instant." Ryougi Shiki smiled and said, "It's the dimensional distortion caused by the speed of the sword strikes. That's right, simply put, it's three sword strikes in an instant... Before, you had to get into a proper stance to use it, but that was a long time ago."

A century has passed.

Over the past century, she has fought countless battles.

And Death, and Hollow.

He had already mastered all sorts of sword techniques, and could use them with ease, just like he had just done.

"You're kidding..."

She was already incredibly strong, and with that freakish swordsmanship... it was impossible to see how to defeat her.

He has now achieved Bankai!

They've already used all their strength!

But even so... once again, like when he fought Kenpachi Zaraki, will he unleash his spiritual pressure?

Even if your body can't take it, do you have to have the strength to fight her?

No—this approach is impossible to succeed with!

This guy... still doesn't have a Shikai for his Zanpakuto, so he has no idea what the Shikai's power is, or even what the Bankai's power is...

If things continue like this, winning is simply impossible.

"Have you given up?" Ryougi Shiki said disappointedly, swinging her sword at Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Ugh—!"

clang--

"Can you still fight?" Ryougi Shiki looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, who had blocked her attack and retreated, and didn't bother to use any sword techniques. She simply used Shunpo to walk over and then—simply slashed at him!

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo, who was struggling to stay upright with his pupils dilated.

She sensed it...

If Ichigo Kurosaki doesn't unleash his power, then the battle will come to an end.

"Well, it's over, then."

Ryougi Shiki said to Ichigo Kurosaki, "There won't be a third time. This time, I'll use Tsubame Gakuen to kill you—"

"Secret Sword - Swallow Return".

I saw it—

Three swords, one aimed at his throat, the other two at his arms.

The swordplay created by the three swords intersecting was so beautiful and elegant, yet... it was also full of murderous intent.

"Ugh... Ah!!!"

Tensa Zangetsu stood before him, his dark spiritual pressure gathering: "Getsuga—Tenshō!!!"

Chi-

The next moment, Ichigo Kurosaki felt a chill on his neck, and blood gradually flowed down his neck.

"Tch, did you cut too shallow... no, did you use Getsuga Tenshou to deflect the sword off course?" Ryougi Shiki smiled. "Not bad, but it seems like you've already reached your limit."

"Damn it." Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth, gripping his Zanpakuto tightly with one hand and clutching his neck with the other.

He's serious, this guy... this guy is really fighting with the intention of killing himself.

If it weren't for that Crescent Moon Sky Slash, I would be dead by now...

Absolutely!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Is there really no way? What should I do... what should I do to defeat this guy!

I--

I--!

Chapter 1088 Three People

"cut--"

sulfuric acid--

The Tensa Zangetsu in his hand suddenly sped up, blocking Ryougi Shiki's sword—

The spiritual pressure also erupted once again in an instant.

"Didn't I already tell you? If you die, it'll cause me a lot of trouble too."

"Oh, this is finally getting a little interesting." Ryougi Shiki didn't back down but instead pressed forward: "Now, can you keep up with my speed, keep up with my power—?"

"Caught up with your speed? Haha—" [Ichigo Kurosaki] laughed loudly: "Your words are too funny—"

A black torrent instantly erupted from the sword blade, slashing at Ryougi Shiki at point-blank range.

however.

An arm emerged from Getsuga Tenshou and gripped Ichigo Kurosaki's mask: "If you want to fight me, you'd better not use techniques like Getsuga Tenshou; it'll only waste your spiritual pressure—"

"Varied--"

[Kurosaki Ichigo] instantly retreated, and even he was stunned for a moment when he saw Ryougi Shiki, who had been hit head-on by Getsuga Tenshou but was completely unharmed.

A piece of the mask on her face was crushed by Ryougi Shiki, and it is slowly healing.

"Haha—interesting! Crescent Moon Sky Strike is useless against you? Then how about this—"

[Kurosaki Ichigo] instantly rushed in front of Ryougi Shiki, crouched slightly, and thrust his sword upwards with the blade pointing downwards: "Getsuga Tenshou".

This time, the crescent moon was on the back of the sword, not to launch it, but to enhance the impact of his move.

sulfuric acid--

"That's good, this is starting to get a little interesting." Ryougi Shiki smiled and swung her sword.

however--

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly pressed one hand against his mask.

"You're the one who's getting in my way! If you let me keep playing like this, we can win! Don't you understand?!"

"Excuse me, I'm interrupting," Ryougi Shiki couldn't help but say, "Even if we continue fighting, we can't win, right?"

"What do you know—"

Before Ichigo Kurosaki could finish speaking, he had already ripped off his mask himself.

"Phew—sorry, someone was in my way just now."

"Then why don't you just let him get in the way?" Ryougi Shiki pointed at Ichigo Kurosaki and said, "Or do you think you have a chance to win? Or is there any possibility that you won't die here...?"

"Anyway, haven't I already witnessed your Shikai..." Kurosaki Ichigo said with a smile, "That move that just nullified Getsuga Tenshou was your Shikai, wasn't it?"

“...That’s right.” Ryougi Shiki nodded: “My Shikai can disable all sorts of random moves...there’s no specific category, ah, it’s just that moves other than your Battle Strikes are useless against me.”

"What kind of perverted Shikai is that..." Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes twitched slightly.

“Of course, there are limits.” Ryougi Shiki said with a smile, “If the Getsuga Tenshou you use is stronger than all my spiritual pressure combined, then this move is useless… Of course, theoretically it should be so, but I haven’t encountered the specifics yet. Of course, I would be extremely grateful if you could let me encounter it once.”

"Ha...haha..." Kurosaki Ichigo chuckled but said nothing.

This can't go on.

He could feel how serious his injuries were and how weak he was.

If this continues, we'll lose...

We will definitely lose!

No...it should be that they will die.

'Zangetsu... I'm sorry, but I'm lending you your power—'

"I'm sorry, Ichigo, I can't do that."

"Varied--?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils contracted slightly.

'All I can lend you is the power of your Shikai, but you haven't even mastered Shikai yet. Even if I lend you more power, it won't have any effect.'

Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth slightly.
