Chapter 42 - Rematch against Barragan!

Barragan takes the first move. He jumps in the air and began leaping down with his axe ready to strike Guerra down. Guerra raises his zanpakuto to block it but as Barragan was slowly descending down. Guerra feels like he's slowing down and immediately tries evading the attack but it was going to be too late. Guerra backed out at evading in the last second and blocks it. Barragan comes crashing down at him with full force but Guerra endures it barely. The floor begins to crack under the pressure of their blades clashing. Barragan comments on Guerra's capabilities. "I can't believe it. In such a short amount of time, you transformed yourself into something stronger. But no matter! You simply turned yourself from worthless being into weak being! Hahahaha!" Guerra opened his mouth and fired a bala at Barragan's face, but he dodged it in time. Guerra tossed back Barragan and flew him off to the ground where Barragan landed. Barragan continues talking. "You had any idea how much I was holding back? I was using purely my strength! Seeing that you can fully take on my axe, I will go full force against you!" Barragan slowly raises his arm with unnerving silence in the atmosphere. He then suddenly screams. "Respira!!" Barragan releases some kind of black-purplish smoke towards Guerra. Guerra senses that there's a dangerous effect about the smoke, so he attempts to dodge it entirely but he was too late. The smoke barely touches his left elbow and it starts erasing his elbow to bone immediately. Guerra panicked and began to figure out a solution. His skin kept on deteriorating while his mind kept racing. "My skin... What the hell is happening to it?! It just keeps spreading on my arm, it's not stopping." Guerra throws his zanpakuto in the air. He decisively tears off his left arm apart from his upper arm and catches his own zanpakuto as it was falling down. Barragan drops his guard and began mocking Guerra. "HahahahHAAAAA! I thought you could have been something challenging! It turns out you're just some weak ant just like the rest. Let me relieve you of that curse by taking your life." Barragan throws his axe but it misses Guerra, made him block for nothing and then suddenly appearing behind him, ready to grab his neck and turn it into dust, but his plan was immediately thrown off when Guerra reacted just in time to dodge it by using his sonido. Barragan began to search for him as he is nowhere to be seen. "Running away for the second time? YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE HOLLOW RACE!!" Before Barragan even noticed, Guerra has already driven his zanpakuto, deep into Barragan's back, going through to the front. This has come to an absolute shock to Barragan. Centuries of an invincible image, slowly cracking. "You DARE?! Impale me in the back??" Guerra sighs and says. "Can't you just shut the hell up? Old people really piss me off you know, some of them have the biggest egos of all time because of having so much power for a long time for doing absolutely nothing and just simply being born with an advantage. So humbling them is the most satisfying thing that has ever existed. You're no exception." Guerra continues to slowly drive the blade deeper into Barragan. Barragan swings his axe on his behind in an attempt to hit Guerra
