I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Ah." Ryougi Kazumi smiled and rushed out.

Spiritual power, ripples, magic.

He now possesses three types of energy, even without any deliberate training, after his soul returned to his body.

This spiritual energy also enhanced his own life force.

There are signs that the three forces are merging or disappearing.

To become the only pure and unique kind of life force.

His own little source was constantly absorbing these forces. When he breathed, the power of the ripples weakened, and the power of his demonic eyes also weakened. And... after the soul entered the body, the spiritual pressure weakened.

The only one that continues to grow is its own Xiaoyuan.

But I've become stronger!

He himself couldn't tell how big the small source within him was right now, but... if it were fully integrated, he felt that he could probably manage to supply the large source of magicians in the modern world all by himself.

There's a vague feeling about this.

......

"Haha, so it turns out only the four of us came?" Yammy laughed as he looked at the people beside him.

“I’ve already conveyed the details of my battle with the Eleventh Division Captain to you. Under these circumstances, it’s useless to send more non-Espada characters.” Ulquiorra looked around and said, “You can do whatever you want with Kurosaki Ichigo. I’ll handle Ryougi.”

thump—

As he spoke, he sensed the surrounding spiritual pressure and then disappeared.

“Ha, that guy said anyone’s fine.” Grimjow looked around and said, “Well then, I’ll just find someone to fight.”

"Hey, Yammy, who are you looking for?" Nnoitra asked, looking at Yammy. It was his first time there, and he had absolutely no idea who to talk to...

She wanted to go to Ryougi Shiki's place, but Ulquiorra beat her to it, and she knew nothing about it after that.

"Of course I'm going to find the guy who cut off my arm! And that guy I fought with before... I'm going to settle scores with them all!"

"Heh—perfect, I sensed a few extra spiritual pressures. Looks like the Shinigami have sent reinforcements... Well, that's just right, enough for us to share, isn't it?"

"Just scatter wherever you like," Grimmjow said with a laugh, sensing the spiritual pressure emanating from them. "Now we'll see who has the best luck—"

thump—

After saying that, the three of them simultaneously used Hibiki to rush towards the direction of the spiritual pressure they felt.

......

thump—

Uruchiora stopped and looked at Ryougi Kazuya, who was standing not far from him, and asked, "Where's that Shinigami?"

“She’s resting.” Ryougi Kazumi said with a smile, “After all, we fought before, so let me take her place this time. That means I’m your opponent.”

"Is that so?" Uruchior stretched out his hand towards Ryougi Kazumi and said, "Just you?"

hum-

Spiritual pressure gathered at his fingertips, and a Cero was fired at Ryougi and Miya: "Get out of the way, the person I'm looking for isn't you."

"Don't be so cold-hearted."

Hearing the voices from Ryougi and Mi's side, Uruchiora's pupils contracted slightly as he looked over: "You bastard..."

boom--

"Then, play with me properly."

Chapter 1098 Battle One

Ulquiorra frowned as he looked at Ryougi and Miyabi.

He caught his Cero with just one hand and deflected it... That was a Cero used by the 40th Espada.

However, he should only be facing a vice-captain...

Although I had sensed that this vice-captain was a little different before, I didn't expect that his strength was not only in his regeneration and healing abilities, but also in his own outstanding strength.

"Have you already removed that restriction?" Uruchiora asked as he approached Ryougi Kazumi.

"Ah, it's released." Ryougi Kazuya looked at Ulquiorra and said with a smile, "I've released the limit, in other words, I'm now at my full power..."

Ryougi Kazuya spread his hands and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's attack, starting with... forcing me to draw my Zanpakuto."

"Don't be so arrogant, Death—"

Uruciola's pupils contracted slightly: "These are... my lines."

Chi-

boom------!

In an instant, the distance closed, and their palms came together once again, piercing through Ryougi Kazumi's chest.

but.

He was blocked, and not only was he blocked, the force of the counterattack slammed into his chest as if it were about to shatter his internal organs, sending him staggering back hundreds of meters before he could barely stop.

"This is..." Uruchiora said, clutching his chest as he stood up. He was so close... so close to having his internal organs shattered by that punch.

Why is it that the steel sheet was not damaged at all?

Bajiquan.

Ryougi and Mi landed on the ground and walked towards Uruchiora, saying, "It's the name of a fist technique. If Shiki is good at swordsmanship, then I am good at fists. Although I haven't trained specifically, a hundred years have passed. With my talent, I can easily reach this level with just a little training. Don't worry, I've held back. Otherwise, this punch would have shattered your internal organs."

boom--

Ryougi Kazumi stopped and said with a 'gentle' smile, "But it would be too boring if you died like this. You left quite a few wounds on Shiki before, didn't you? Well, I won't kill you, but let's have some fun before that."

Ulquiorra dusted himself off and stared blankly at Ryougi Kazuya: "Don't be so arrogant, Shinigami. That was your only chance to kill me, but that's it. You won't have any more chances."

"Not always."

Ulquiorra's pupils contracted, and upon hearing the sound behind him, he immediately drew his Zanpakuto and slashed backward.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle —

Sparks flew as the blade met the arm.

"impossible--"

Is this steel sheet?

How could a mere Grim Reaper have steel plates?

boom--

Ulquiorra leaped high into the air, his feet moving backward as he quickly distanced himself from Ryougi and Mi. Looking at the blade in his hand and then at the unharmed Ryougi and Mi, he was momentarily speechless.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

High-speed regeneration, steel sheet...

Why would a Shinigami possess these techniques, which are clearly just illusions?

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack, Ulquiorra?" Ryougi Kazuya also jumped up and came to the opposite side of Ulquiorra, using spiritual energy to make him stand in the air, and said, "If you do that, you'll waste your only chance."

"Are you trying to provoke me, Death?"

“Ah, that’s right, I’m trying to provoke you.” Ryougi Kazumi stretched out his hand, gathering spiritual pressure in his palm, and said, “I’m curious whether your expressionless face will show any emotion like fear.”

"Hado #88: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!"

"Cero—"

hum-

boom!

Seeing the Kido that had pierced through his Cero, Ulquiorra quickly dodged with a Sora, and took a deep breath while looking in the direction of Ryougi and Miyabi.

He will not be angry, nor will he be afraid.

Moreover, his main purpose in coming here was not to kill anyone, but to stall them.

only...

This vice-captain of the 11th Division is far more terrifying than he imagined; in his current state, he can't even hold him back.

Since that's the case, then...

"Let's lock it down—"

Ulquiorra pointed his blade at Ryougi and Miyabi: "Ulquiorra!"

......

thump—

"That guy is already fighting Ulquiorra," Yammy said, looking into the distance. He had rushed over from Ulquiorra's direction, and besides the one fighting Ulquiorra, he had also sensed several other spiritual pressures.

"Ulquiorra seems to be fighting that vice-captain... Ha, then I'll just take down that captain of the Eleventh Division!" Yammy laughed as red light gathered in front of his mouth.

Cero -

hum-

boom----!

"Huh?" Looking at the building that was still completely undamaged, Yami's lips curled slightly: "What?"

As he spoke, he activated his sensory nerves and discovered two spiritual pressures in front of the building.

It was these two holders of spiritual pressure who blocked his attack.

"Mashu, are you alright?"

"Yes, senior, in good condition." Mash Kyrielight exhaled and looked in the direction of Yammy, saying, "Mash Kyrielight, move out!"

"Haha—what? It was your shield that blocked my Cero?"

Yammy laughed and was about to rush over.
