Baraggan gripped the massive axe in his hand and brought it down fiercely, his eyes filled with madness and brutality, as if he had already seen this small Shinigami being cut in half by him!
Just then, this seemingly terrified little Shinigami suddenly drew his sword and slashed upwards.
"An ant trying to shake a tree! Are you still unwilling to give up now?" Baraggan scoffed.
However, the subsequent development of events far exceeded his expectations. In the vast void, something seemed to be severed, emitting a sound like breaking glass!
Then, Baraggan saw that the massive axe in his hand was actually cut off, the wheel-sized axe blade being cleanly sliced into two halves.
Not only the axe, but his arm and one-third of his head were also cut off.
For a moment, Baraggan didn't even notice he had been cut!
By the time he reacted, his arm and one-third of his skull had already fallen to the ground.
This was no small shock!
"Shinigami… what did you do?" Baraggan roared, even though one-third of his head was sliced off, as a Vasto Lorde, his self-healing ability was extremely strong. As long as he didn't suffer any attacks for a period of time, he could still recover!
Yamabuki slowly stood up, lightly flicking the blade in his hand. His original Zanpakutō had transformed into a silver-white blade, emitting a mysterious glow.
"Reversal, Silver Radiance Angel!"
The moment the Zanpakutō was released, not only did the shape of the Zanpakutō change, but his clothes also changed. Because there was no shinigami garb in this era, they all wore their own clothes, somewhat resembling ancient Japanese samurai.
But after releasing his Zanpakutō, Yamabuki's clothes changed into a pure white military uniform.
"Thankfully it's not a dress! If it were a little skirt, I'd turn into a magical girl, and then how could I face my folks back home!" Yamabuki said jokingly.
However, he didn't give up this opportunity. The blade in his hand stabbed directly at Baraggan. Baraggan hurriedly used Sonido to dodge, then roared at his subordinates: "Everyone, go! Tear this bastard to shreds."
With His Majesty's order, how could these ordinary Menos Grande dare to disobey?
Instantly, they surged forward like a tide, overwhelming everything!
"Brother Yamabuki!!" Chōjirō Sasakibe was about to draw his sword and step forward to help when Feng Yuan, who was beside him, stopped him: "Our combined strength would only cause trouble. Just watch from here!"
He was quite accurate in his self-assessment.
The combined strength of these two might not even be enough to defeat one Menos Grande!
Yamabuki gripped his blade with both hands and swung it horizontally!
Instantly, within a ten-meter radius around him, space twisted, and then the entire space vanished.
This was the Silver Radiance Angel's second ability, and also the ability the Sword Spirit used to resist the Reishi Arrows earlier.
Space Removal.
In an instant, these Hollows who rushed forward, along with the space, were directly removed. As for where they went, Yamabuki didn't know either.
The Hollows standing on the edge had parts of their bodies cleanly sliced off, lying on the ground and wailing loudly!
In an instant, none of these fearless Hollows dared to advance another step!
"You bunch of trash! All of you, charge!" Baraggan roared in exasperation.
"King of Hueco Mundo, this time next year will be your death anniversary! Die!" Yamabuki Shunpoed forward, the Silver Radiance Angel in his hand slashing down fiercely: "Spatial Severance!"
Baraggan, in horror, used his remaining hand to shield his body, but after a while, he found that nothing had happened?
"Oh dear! My apologies! My reishi is depleted! I'm leaving now! Bye bye!" Yamabuki turned and ran.
The power of the Silver Radiance Angel was indeed formidable, but proportional to its power was the consumption of reiryoku.
Yamabuki finally understood why the Sword Spirit wouldn't tell him her true name before he possessed Captain-level reiryoku. At this rate of consumption, a Vice Captain's reiryoku might not even be enough for one swing, and they'd be sucked dry by the sword!
The Sword Spirit deliberately concealed her name not to be difficult, but to protect him.
"I'm so touched! What are you two just standing there gawking at? Hurry up and run!" Yamabuki waved to Chōjirō Sasakibe and Feng Yuan, who were watching the show from a distance, telling them to follow him and run quickly!
His Captain-level reiryoku was depleted after only two slashes. It seemed the Sword Spirit was constantly reminding him that relying on flashy tricks wouldn't make him stronger; increasing his reiryoku was the true path.
"You have no reiryoku, and I'm still afraid of you!" Baraggan's body regenerated at an incredibly fast speed, and then he charged forward again, wielding his broken axe.
"You believe me when I say I have no reiryoku? Do you have a brain? You fell for it! Space Removal!" Yamabuki suddenly turned and swung his sword, scaring Baraggan into continuous Sonido, fearing the opponent would kill him with one slash.
"My apologies! I truly have no reiryoku. Crimson Smoke Escape!" Yamabuki released his divine skill again, and the entire area was instantly filled with smoke, making it impossible to distinguish directions.
Baraggan never expected to be repeatedly tricked by this small Shinigami in one day, and his rage finally boiled over: "Everyone, chase him! Whoever kills this Shinigami, I'll make him my adjutant! Chase him!"
After the smoke dissipated, these Hollows dispersed in all directions. When there was no one left, a hand reached out from mid-air and gently pulled, and an invisible curtain of light was pulled down.
Bakudō Number Twenty-Six, Kyokkō.
Repeating the same trick! So happy!
"Brother Yamabuki, what's with your clothes? They're so cool! Why don't my clothes change when I release my Zanpakutō?" Chōjirō Sasakibe asked with an envious look.
"That's because your training isn't enough! How much longer until Soul Society opens the gate?" Yamabuki asked.
"Fifty-five minutes remaining."
"Then we'll hold out here for fifty-five minutes." Yamabuki began to frantically absorb the reishi around him to restore his own reiryoku. Originally, he thought that by gaining the ability to absorb reishi, he could ignore consumption and become a mobile turret.
But the release of his Zanpakutō immediately dispelled that notion!
How could a mobile turret's damage be as high as a berserker's? I've decided to spec into berserker!
As a result, stamina became a problem again; his Zanpakutō consumed far too much reiryoku!
Two slashes and he's out of mana. Is there no mana buff or anything in this world?
It should be known that Captain-level reiryoku is already quite formidable; even after death, the soul will not return to nature. To fully recover all reiryoku by absorbing reishi would take at least twenty minutes! In actual combat, the opportunity would be long gone!
How can I compensate for my lack of mana?
Yamabuki fell into deep thought.
