Bleach:Re Chapter62. Pacebreaker

Following the deafening sound, a huge explosion occurred within the walls of the Seireitei. Every soul inside the walls could hear it clear and loud, even those outside the high walls were able to spot the explosion thanks to the huge waves of smokes that were produced by it.

- Ah… Ah… Ah…

The light in Kirra's pupils started to vanish as the Trance was fading with his strongest attack. The Arrancar was sweating a lot, his last assault took off all of his left energy and the battle he had was quite intense as the Captain always was pressuring.

- Nueva Primavera… I collect the maximum of surrounding Reishi in the flower on my back to then unleash it in one and only attack… Everything is destroyed to make place for a revival. This way, a new spring is born…

Kirra looked at his feet to see a new born flower enlighten by the sunlight. As he was tired, the Arrancar kneeled down on the ground to rest a bit while still looking at the flower, beautiful yet ephemeral. 

- I have to admit… You were one hell of opponent yet… Shinigami.

- However…

- This is my win…
- Is that so?

- You're more of a poet that you look like, Arrancar.
- ?!

-How… Are you…
- Alive?

With a wide move of his arm, Shikei pushed away all the smoke surrounding him.

- That's pretty easy. I just blocked your attacks. That's all.
- Blocked… Them?!

Kira clenched his fist, veins started to appear on his forehead as he started to feel angrier.

- WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT?!
- …
- YOU BLOCKED IT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! THERE'S NO WAY YO-
- That's because it's possible that I'm here.

Kirra instantly stopped shouting. Once again, his eyes wide open, he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

- No… Way…

Indeed, the captain was barely wounded. Only few small scratches on his body. His haori had taken the most damage, it was slightly burned from its hem. Aside from that, he seemed to be in good shape.

- Back then, I asked your opinion.
- ?!

« -You deflect them all? - I wonder. What do you think? »

- What… Do you mean?
- I didn't deflect a single of your Balas back then.
- What?!

After rising his right arm at his chest, Shikei clenched his fist. As he did that, his arm slightly glowed of a light-blue light for less than a second. Actually, it could be compared to a flash.

- Katetsuyuuwa (硬い鉄 有蓋皮 Solid Iron Coated Skin) by using my Reiatsu, I can create a virtual wall of steel on my own flesh. Pretty much similar to your Hierro actually. The only difference is that one can adjust the level depending on his Reiatsu.
- Are you kidding me?!
- During thousands of years, us, Shinigamis; didn't have any passive defence. Arrancars had Hierro. Quincys had Blut. Even the Fullbringers, at some point; could create some defence around themselves. Shinigamis however didn't have any sort of “shield”, aside of Bakudô. But since then a lot of time has passed, actually so much that we have had the technique for dozen years already. 
- AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT, THAT'S ENOUGH TO BLOCK MY ATTACK?! SOME COPY OF THE HIERRO WOULD BE ENOUGH?!

Shikei sneered while hearing those words while he cracked his every finger.

- Unfortunately for you, this ability has been running in my family since the very beginning; when it was created. Beside, I'm kind of a hard-worker when it comes to concerns of my body itself. 

Taking his Zanpakuto out of the guard, Shikei made a large swing with his blade, creating a wind with high pressure.

- This technique, its secrets… I know everything about it!
Kirra was shaking. At some point, fear reached him as he saw his opponent still alive. 
- I changed my mind, Arrancar. Now, I'll get serious too!
Putting his second hand on the hilt, the Captain held his Zanpakuto at the height of his chest.
- Leak out of black…

At the same time, on the North-East of the Seireitei.

- Dumdulu lum!

Jumping between the bodies of the ones she just had defeated, Sophia seemed to be at ease. She was getting closer of the South wall, where we were supposed to meet. However, she did took her time as she wasn’t running anymore. It looked like she was enjoying the place surrounding her while walking; like a tour in a foreign city or visit in museum. 

- Hmm… I guess I'll have to go to the barracks of the 1^st Division if I want to find what I came for…

Meanwhile, on the West-Side.

- Damn… This place is really huge… I've been using Shunpo but yet, it's taking so long…

- That's…
- Kurasa!

- What a relief, he made it alive.
- You doubt about it? Seriously?

Nimaijita giggled while punching the one facing her. She didn't really pay much of attention as she was kicking their ass.

- Haha, not really… I'm just glad.
- Ah! You seem less cold than back then, at Hueco Mundo.
- … Let's hurry, we should follow him!

On the other side of the street, while I was running, I noticed something. It still was far away but at least, I could finally see it. The South-Door of the Daimaru. The place where Sophia & I were supposed to regroup.

- HERE IT IS!!
