This is the next chapter.
I am going to say a lot, but I am happy to be in this part of the story, the pace from here should be faster than in the previous chapters.
Also, since I have enough free time, (finally finished the virtual classes) the chapters should not take long.
Without further ado, let's go.
Bleach does not belong to me, its creator is Tite Kubo.
Phi
Breathless duel.
Swords, hands, and teeth.
Chis, Chas, Chas,
It was the sound of two swords colliding, one elegant with an asymmetrical blade which gleamed in the sunlight and ended in a very sharp point, the other was very worn, several pieces were missing, if not for the teeth generated by the hollow someone would say that it has already lost its edge, despite that, the old sword would not be broken.
Kenpachi will be brutal in his way of attacking, but not a savage who attacks without intelligence, each lunge and slash he directed towards the woman forced her to be defensive.
Chas, chis, Chis.
Rhayla, trying to find an opening between attacks, when he raised his arms to his head to make a vertical slash, she gave a quick lunge.
Kenpachi stepped aside long enough not to be pierced by the sword, however his shoulder suffered a small cut, he quickly slashed into the woman's arms as they were exposed after that thrust.
She managed to stop the Kenpachi blade by covering the possible slash with her steel bracelet resting it on her other arm, the advantage of bringing armor to combat, but she was in an awkward position.
Note * Remember that during the previous chapter it was established that instead of fighting, the reiatsu was taken from them, so the strength of both the combatants and the swords are the same as if they were from the human world.
Kenpachi at that moment achieved a direct kick to the liver, the woman is on the floor trying to catch air, the captain who no longer had his patch pounces on her.
Unfortunately for the captain, he too was tired due to the lack of reiatsu, so he gave the undead time to dodge the attack ... almost. Leaning his body to the right earning a cut in the armor that left his back a little exposed.
But that movement allowed her to thrust through the wrist of Zaraki. To the point that the tip came out on the other side of the wrist, listening to the metal ripping flesh and even the thundering of the bone with a small crack leaving a bloodstain on the woman's armor and leaving the captain's hand useless.
Even though his hand went through Kenpachi with his good hand he raised his sword and directed an attack towards Rhayla again, it simply rolls to the right avoiding being crossed.
Feeling on her skin the edge of the eleventh division captain's sword in the same place where he had left the opening, she realized that she had only one option ...
She abruptly stopped rolling and in a quick movement with her left hand which was protected with steel she made a movement to deflect the sword and take it from the edge, it almost failed to result in a deep cut in her cheek and the protection in her pierced hand, but also, with adrenaline running through his veins and reducing pain.
She gives a slash that almost cuts off Kenpachi Zaraki's hand.
His hand was left hanging with a piece of bleeding meat that still joined him with his arm.
Despite not having both of his hands, Kenpachi followed, raised his left leg and stomped on the black-and-gray-haired woman's abdomen.
Aghh, Rhayla gasped, the captain gave him another footfall and another and another, but before he could take a footfall the woman quickly slashed with her sword.
That cut Zaraki's knee that had no place to learn and fell on Rhayla, with a grunt he opened his mouth and bit the woman's ear, his blood spilled in the captain's mouth, she screams in pain and with a quick movement Thread the tip of your sword into the eye where the patch used to be.
- Ahh ... - That was the last sound produced by Kenpachi Zaraki. With the pupil of his good eye he saw his subordinates for the last time, he was sad to no see Yachiru for the last time.
Rhayla, recovering air, saw Kenpachi's pupil dilate and lose its shine, the black color turned milky.
- CAPTAIN ZARAKI! - Their subordinates shouted when they saw that the undead put the corpse aside and stood up, removing her sword from the body of her former captain.
- MOTHERFUCKER, I WILL KILL YOU - Ikkaku shouted with a fury he had never shown before, as well as releasing all his reiatsu that even cracked the ground and launched himself at the woman.
Only so that when he entered the circle all his reiatsu dissolved in the air, he was kneeling gasping for air, luckily he looked up in time to see the woman launch against him and he raised his sword to put it first.
And the moment she approached, he kicked off with his legs and leaped towards her ... But he deflected the blow of the sword with his steel bracelet, tilting his right arm up and at an angle where the sword did not hit him and Rhayla He was able to thrust Ikkaku into the abdomen with his left arm, causing the now crimson tip to pierce his body until it emerged from the other side.
Blood came out of Ikkaku's mouth and he fell to the floor when he removed his sword, even on the floor he saw it with fury, but he looked at the body of his captain and more calmly said - Captain Kenpachi ... I'm going with you - and closed his eyes.
The woman was breathing heavily, and she turned to see the last one left - And what will you do? -
With a look of fury, he unsheathed his sword and shouted the name of his sword and before that, beautiful lianas and branches came out that tried to immobilize the woman, but when they crossed the blood circle they fell to the ground because they lost the reiatsu.
Seeing that, the woman said - If you are going to use more than your sword in its normal form, I will also use it - and after saying that she takes out a flintlock pistol and shoots.
Boom!
The bullet is embedded in the chest, yet he runs towards her leaving bloodstains behind him, returns his sword to its original form, and prepares it to attack the woman.
Rhayla returns the flintlock pistol to the holster she had on her thigh, it is only put into a fencing pose, left leg back, right leg tilted slightly forward, and with the sword at a 90 ° angle forward.
Yumichika like Ikkaku falls to his knees as he passes through the blood seal, gasping heavily for air, and like Kenpachi and Ikkaku releasing his reiatsu he is dissipated into the air losing the ability to use it.
When he looks up he sees the undead quickly approach him and his sword quickly raises it.
Chas, chas, chas.
Rhayla was already tired of fighting in a place where there was no reiatsu, so in that dance of swords, she took advantage and placed herself outside the circle leaving Yumichika inside the circle.
Chas, Chis, chis.
The long-haired spirit tried to find an opening, however, the burning and loss of blood caused by the bullet made it difficult, at one point he saw that when she made a diagonal movement with her sword, that made it available to nail the sword in the armpit, place not protected by his armor.
But the woman left that point on purpose and when he tried to thrust her shoulder, she with the obtained reiatsu diverted it to her right hand which had steel protection was intact and took the sword.
With his sword caught in the damn woman's hand, he couldn't stop the woman from making a lunge that pierced his head from the temple, killing him instantly ... And his body fell limp.
…
…
…
Rhayla looked at the bodies of his enemies, the 3 of them in the blood seal and said - It was a pleasure fighting with you, but without reiatsu, you cannot win -
And she knelt in front of the blood seal, clasped her hands together and placed them on the line that made up the radius of the circle.
And this one began to shine.
