"Once sealed in this mirror world, you cannot move at all? How interesting. Is this your Zanpakuto's ability? But I feel your sword is sowhat different from a Shinigami's Zanpakuto."
Facing the murderous Nukui walking towards him, Sojiro still asked calmly.
Hearing Sojiro's words, Nukui paused, a flicker of panic on his face.
Although Nukui wore a mask, it didn't cover above his nose. So Sojiro instantly noticed the change in his expression.
"Oh? It seems my guess was right. The sword in your hand is indeed sowhat different from a Shinigami's Zanpakuto."
Sojiro stated assertively.
Nukui's expression grew even uglier. The reason he had been so eager to escape earlier, rather than fight Sojiro to the death, wasn't fear of death. It was fear that if he died, the Bakkoto would fall into the 10th Division's hands.
If the Bakkoto fell into their hands, the Kasumioji Clan's secret research on them might be exposed.
But now, Sojiro had deduced that his Bakkoto was problematic just from their brief fight. This greatly exceeded Nukui's expectations.
If Sojiro reported his findings, it could also bring great trouble to Kumoi-sama.
Thinking this, Nukui's murderous intent intensified.
"Hmph, it's over, Mr. 3rd Seat of the 10th Division. You know too much."
Nukui's eyes flashed coldly.
Sojiro remained calm: "Yes, it is over. If I wasted too much ti fighting soone of your caliber, not only would that guy Ashido laugh at , but even Captain would be disappointed in my strength."
"Arrogant fool..."
Boom!
Before Nukui could finish, an extrely powerful Reiatsu suddenly erupted from Sojiro.
Crack, crack, crack...
As Sojiro's Reiatsu erupted, the illusory space they were in began to crack like breaking glass.
Correspondingly, the mirror embedded in Nukui's Bakkoto also started to crack.
"What!"
Nukui couldn't believe it.
Moreover, as the Reiatsu erupted, Sojiro felt the binding force weaken, and he could make small movents.
'Wh... what imnse Reiatsu.'
Nukui broke out in a cold sweat.
'No! I can't let him continue!'
Nukui was certain that if Sojiro broke free, he would surely lose.
"Ha!"
Nukui shouted, pouring his Reiatsu into the Bakkoto. After absorbing a large amount, the Bakkoto burned with an eerie purple light.
Then, without hesitation, Nukui charged at Sojiro, intending to kill him on the spot!
"Damn it..."
Sojiro thought the situation was troubleso.
Although he was gradually breaking free as his Reiatsu erupted, he still needed a little ti to be completely unaffected and move freely.
But now, Nukui clearly wouldn't give him that ti.
Sojiro said solemnly: "No choice. I'll have to get serious now..."
"Sweep Heaven and Earth! Hyosetsumaru!!"
Sojiro suddenly shouted loudly.
Boom!
The Reiatsu erupting from Sojiro intensified further, and the illusory space cracked even more.
Whoosh—!!
A fierce wind suddenly howled within the illusory space. Countless snowflakes appeared from nowhere, and a blizzard raged, ravaging the entire space.
Crack, crack, crack...
In an instant, the illusory space created by Nukui's Bakkoto was frozen by the raging snowstorm.
Bang!
The frozen illusory space shattered like a mirror.
With its shattering, the binding force on Sojiro completely disappeared.
Then Sojiro looked at Nukui not far away. Though not completely frozen by the blizzard, he was stiff and slow.
"Oh? Not frozen by my Hyosetsumaru yet? You're quite tenacious. But this is where it ends!"
As his voice faded, Sojiro gently swung his Zanpakuto.
"Whoosh—!!"
Countless snowflakes converged from all directions, forming a huge tornado composed entirely of snow.
Then the snow tornado suddenly moved, engulfing Nukui entirely!
Whoosh—!
The snow tornado roared once more, then returned to nothingness, dissipating into the air as if it had never existed.
But the ice pillar, dozens of ters tall like a tower stretching from the ground to the sky, and Nukui frozen within it, proved that what had just happened was real.
Sojiro took a deep breath and said, "It's finally over."
…
At the 10th Division, outside Kasumioji Rurichiyo's room.
Toshiro, wearing a blue-green yukata, glanced towards the distant sky.
"Sojiro's finished over there too?"
"Yawn..."
Toshiro yawned and said, "Well, forcing Sojiro to use his Shikai ans the intruder this ti was pretty decent."
After this brief reflection, Toshiro walked into Rurichiyo's room.
He had noticed the intrusion from the beginning, but he was resting and hadn't personally intervened.
Yes, when the enemies invaded, Toshiro was still sleeping soundly under his covers.
It wasn't that Toshiro was unconcerned… he simply trusted his subordinates to handle it.
Rember, besides Toshiro himself, the 10th Division had two Captain-level and two Lieutenant-level fighters. In Toshiro's perception, aside from the leader, the other intruders were completely insignificant.
If they couldn't handle enemies like this, how could they face stronger foes later?
So, regarding this intrusion, Toshiro chose to completely let go and let his n handle it, treating it as training.
In fact, nothing went wrong. Aside from the leader, who was lured out by Sojiro, the other intruders were either eliminated or captured.
So Toshiro had planned to stay under his covers. However, soone reported that the enemy had nearly broken into Rurichiyo's room, frightening her. So Toshiro had to get up and go comfort her.
