Bazz-B tentatively asked, "What did that Shinigami do to you...?"
Before he could finish, Bambietta cut him off.
She stomped her foot fiercely, saying exasperatedly, "None of your business! If you say one more word, I'll kill you right now."
...Kill me?
Bazz-B's eye twitched.
I'm trying to be nice and care about you... and this is how you talk to me!?
He was a senior, after all!
"You woman, do you want to fight?"
"Bring it on, who's afraid of you? You're just a furnace stoker, only fit to heat my bathwater, why would I be afraid of you?"
"Furnace stoker?!"
Bazz-B's face immediately turned red with anger.
He was already hot-tempered and couldn't stand such provocation, so he immediately cursed, "You're nothing but a straggler, who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?"
Bambietta sneered, saying disdainfully, "I only joined the Sternritter later."
"Unlike some people, who have been a Sternritter member for nearly a thousand years and still haven't been chosen for the Royal Guard."
"It's obvious who the straggler is!"
The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, as if they were about to come to blows at any moment.
Who wants to be that guy's Royal Guard!
I'm the man who will kill him someday.
Bazz-B roared in his heart.
Bazz-B's hometown was destroyed by Yhwach, and he had always wanted to get revenge on Yhwach.
However, just then, they both stopped arguing and looked ahead.
There, a figure suddenly crashed through the wall and finally fell in front of them.
"You guys are really careful, setting up a Shadow Realm even in your own home. No wonder I couldn't find you."
A man then came into view, stepping on the fallen figure.
Bambietta first looked surprised, then incredulous, and finally her expression gradually lost control, becoming ferocious.
"That's... that man who broke into my bathroom!" she shrieked.
"Cang Du!"
Bazz-B's attention was drawn to the fallen figure, and he couldn't help but exclaiming.
It was a man with short black hair, slender phoenix eyes, and a scar on his left lip.
Cang Du, one of the Sternritter members, his Schrift is I, The Iron!
He could transform his body into sturdy steel, but now he was beaten beyond recognition, covered in blood, almost unrecognizable!
The next second, Amidst Bazz-B's stunned and shocked expression, "You damned guy, go to hell!"
Seeing Cang Du's miserable defeat, and you still charge in, are the new recruits really that brave now?
Bazz-B's mouth slightly opened.
Cang Du's strength was not weak among the Sternritter.
Although his ability was to transform into steel, that steel was clearly not ordinary.
His defense could even block Haschwalth's slashes!
"Explode!"
Boom boom boom!!
A sphere of Reishi instantly hit the wall, and the wall immediately exploded violently.
This was Bambietta's ability, the Schrift E, The Explode!
Turning anything that touches her Reishi into a bomb for explosive attacks!
"Hmph, directly blasted to dust? That makes your death too easy. If you fell into my hands..."
Bambietta was expressionless, clapping her hands.
Just then, to Bazz-B's shocked expression, A hand suddenly rested on Bambietta's head and gently patted it.
"Nice ability, completely undefendable!"
Aozaki Reiji clicked his tongue in admiration as he pressed Bambietta's head into the ground.
The floor instantly cracked.
"This guy... Bambietta is completely defenseless."
Bazz-B swallowed.
Although he looked down on Bambietta as a newcomer, She was, after all, a Sternritter member, one of the few Quincy at the pinnacle of the Wandenreich.
Yet, in this man's hands, she couldn't even last a single move?
Is this guy really a Shinigami?
Wait, that is... I'm afraid... this is going to be bad.
Bazz-B watched with a twitching eye as a massive pillar of light rose, and red light wings grew from Bambietta's back.
A halo seemed to condense above her head!
"Explode!"
Bambietta softly murmured, as if praying for something, and then her entire Reishi began to surge.
A layer of red light gradually appeared around her body, enveloping her like a red sphere of light.
"You idiot, don't use Vollständig in Silbern! The palace will be affected!"
Seeing this, Bazz-B's eyes widened, and he roared loudly.
Vollständig is the Quincy's final form.
The Vollständig of Human World Quincy is achieved by using a Reishi tool called the Sanrei Glove, which forcibly absorbs surrounding Reishi to increase power when the glove is removed.
After use, all of the Quincy's abilities will disappear.
However, the Quincy of the Wandenreich have developed a new technique in recent decades.
They can use Vollständig at will, without relying on other tools.
While it still puts a burden on the body, it doesn't have the drawback of losing Quincy abilities after use.
As a final form, when a Quincy uses Vollständig, their strength will increase dramatically.
If they were to unleash their full power in this state, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, at this moment, Bambietta had completely lost her reason.
She was now solely focused on defeating Aozaki Reiji.
Though it was still "Explode," the situation this time was clearly different from before.
Any area covered by this powerful Reishi would be detonated by her ability.
With her roar, the entire space was torn apart, emitting a piercing sound.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion echoed through the palace, like a giant bomb detonating, spreading in all directions.
A powerful shockwave swept through, forcing Bazz-B to quickly retreat to avoid being caught.
"Why aren't those two guys here yet? Oh well, if I can't find them, taking you back isn't a complete waste."
Aozaki Reiji sighed helplessly, looking at everything happening before him.
Bazz-B, who had thought everything would end with Bambietta's outburst, heard that familiar voice and his expression immediately changed drastically.
And Bambietta's eyes also revealed a look of disbelief.
She felt that large hand on her head was still there, as if it had never left.
"This... this is impossible!"
Bambietta blurted out, her shock completely undisguised.
She had clearly used a desperate technique like Vollständig, fully activating her Schrift ability.
How could the opponent be unaffected?
Just then, a powerful force struck again.
Her head crashed heavily onto the ground, and glowing, light-colored branch patterns instantly appeared on her skin, as dust flew up from the ground.
Blut Vene!
A Quincy technique that enhances one's defense by injecting Reishi into the blood vessels!
But even using Blut Vene was useless.
Her mind instantly went blank, and the light wings and halo on her body disappeared!
"Damn it..."
Bazz-B frowned tightly, his face showing anger and unwillingness.
He stomped forcefully on the ground, his body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
At the same time, raging flames rose from his palms, forming a searing wall of fire.
"Bang!!"
With a loud bang, the flames instantly erupted.
Rolling waves of heat continuously crashed forward.
However, there was no joy in Bazz-B's eyes.
Because the sight before him made his heart tremble—
The man stood unharmed in the sea of fire, not even the corner of his clothes singed.
"You're really capable, quite spectacular, but these flames aren't hot enough!"
Aozaki Reiji's lips curved slightly upward, saying softly with a hint of disdainful smile.
His voice seemed to come from the abyss, full of mockery and contempt.
Bazz-B's face became incredibly grim, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Stop looking down on me, Shinigami!"
He roared through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with fury.
He knew the enemy's strength was not to be underestimated, but the other party's contempt made him feel doubly humiliated.
Bazz-B exerted force again.
A red Quincy pentagram with a conical starburst appeared above his head, and rod-shaped wings appeared on his back.
Vollständig!
His legs erupted with astonishing power, and he charged like lightning towards Aozaki Reiji's side.
"Burning Hell!"
Bazz-B roared, his entire Reiryoku converging into his left hand.
With this blow, let me, the great one, end this battle!
His left hand emitted suffocating heat, and five intensely crimson rays of light condensed at his fingertips.
Immediately after, he fiercely shot a spiral, conical flame towards Aozaki Reiji.
The flames whistled through the air, carrying endless might, seemingly intent on burning everything to ashes.
