Thinking this, Shigure couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This powerful Schrift ability had far surpassed ordinary Sternritters.
It could perform both absolute offense and absolute defense.
Indeed, truly worthy of Yhwach's Schutzstaffel.
However, just as Shigure pondered, white light suddenly appeared on Askin's right hand.
Immediately after, he suddenly curled his lips, throwing his left arm back sharply.
SHING!
A sharp sound rang out. Sacred blue-white light stretched forth, directly transforming into a fully drawn spirit particle light arrow!
At the arrow's tip, white spirit particles burst and exploded!
Quincy Heilig Pfeil!
The arrow nocked on the string, aimed directly at Shigure's brow.
The Reiatsu storm swept Askin's black hair. He raised his eyes slightly, watching Shigure, chuckling:
"What's wrong... you've given up attacking..."
"In other words, after my explanation, you seem to have understood my words—"
"Truly remarkable. Even when I first gained this strange ability, I couldn't help but find it incomprehensible."
"Honestly, from very early on, I've wanted a purely powerful force, just like yours."
"Hehe, however—"
"Now it seems, you who dare not attack appear... not so strong after all..."
Askin's eyes gleamed brilliantly as he smiled.
Simultaneously, the arrow in his hand burst with even stronger light!
Everything around dimmed under this radiance!
Yet Shigure's expression remained unchanged, his gaze calm.
However, in Askin's view, this expression and posture were feigning composure.
His eyes flashed. The spirit particle Blut on his body immediately switched!
From defensive Blut Vene to Blut Arterie, which could greatly enhance offensive power.
Before the Heilig Pfeil even fired, sonic booms began appearing around!
The smile on Askin's face deepened as he said softly:
"Segawa Shigure, if you're only at this level, then you truly dishonor the name 'highest Special War Power'..."
"This battle will end very quickly—"
SPLURT!!!!
Just as he prepared to release the bow, before finishing his words, sudden change occurred!
His chest was suddenly pierced straight through by an invisible blade!!
Crimson blood sprayed simultaneously from chest and back!
The spirit particles flowing through his blood vessels were forcibly severed by that invisible blade!
Quincy Blut Arterie... instantly collapsed!!
Simultaneously, Askin's mind went completely blank!
The Heilig Pfeil constructed in both hands immediately exploded and dispersed!
BANG!!!
The massive impact made him spit out another mouthful of blood.
SPLURT!!!
The next moment, pupils contracting sharply, he quickly lowered his head to look at his chest.
However... there was no blade there at all!
Yet his Blut, his chest... were undoubtedly pierced!!
"...Wha... what..."
"This... what's happening..."
His gaze scattered, mumbling unconsciously, his tone filled with disbelief.
Hearing this, Shigure spoke calmly:
"After monitoring me for two full years... don't you know what powers my Zanpakuto possesses?"
"?!"
Askin froze instantly upon hearing this.
Zanpakuto...?!
He meant... this damage... was his Zanpakuto's power...?
Impossible!!!
Askin suddenly raised his head, pupils contracted as he looked toward Shigure's waist. After a moment, he shook his head:
"No... impossible!"
"In my wound... there's absolutely... absolutely no spirit particle presence!"
"It absolutely cannot be the Zanpakuto's doing!!"
"Moreover... your, your Zanpakuto hasn't even been released... how could it..."
"How is this possible?!"
Askin's pupils contracted tightly. Shaking his head in disbelief, he spoke through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Shigure's expression didn't change. He simply waved his hand lightly.
BOOM!!!
Instantly, violent wind waves exploded forth like a detonation, slamming hard into Askin's chest!
SPLURT!!!
Askin violently coughed up blood, instantly flying backward.
However, at the moment of injury, a flash of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes.
