Chapter 439: Nightshade: Young Heroes, Do You Need Outside Help?
"Damn it, don't underestimate me! Whether it's a Great Hollow or whatever, I, Black Zaki Ichigo, will protect Karakura Town!"
Black Zaki Ichigo's arms had been completely bent under the immense pressure, but at the brink of his limits, he suddenly unleashed an astonishing burst of blue spiritual pressure from within, causing his previously bent arms to straighten once more with a defiant roar.
The red Hollow Flash clashed with the blue spiritual pressure emanating from Black Zaki Ichigo, and after nearly half a minute of stalemate, everything finally subsided.
The ground between the Gigain and Black Zaki Ichigo had formed a massive ravine due to the previous Hollow Flash.
From a distance, Rukia and Rain Ryu witnessed Black Zaki Ichigo directly blocking the Gigain's Hollow Flash, leaving them both stunned.
Rain Ryu's surprise was purely because he had yet to encounter such a sight.
Rukia's astonishment, however, stemmed from her knowledge that Black Zaki Ichigo had only recently become a Shinigami.
Not only was he unable to perform the "Shikai" of his Zanpakuto, but he didn't even know the basic "Soul Slashing Dance" of a Shinigami. He was essentially a novice Shinigami who had learned through unconventional means.
And yet, this novice Shinigami had just blocked a Gigain's Hollow Flash head-on?
Even among the Gotei 13, only a Captain-level Shinigami could accomplish such a feat.
Black Zaki Ichigo, having successfully blocked the Gigain's Hollow Flash, was now exhausted. He barely managed to stay standing by thrusting his Zanpakuto into the ground to prevent his body from collapsing due to fatigue.
With Black Zaki Ichigo blocking the Hollow Flash, the protagonist's squad gained confidence. However, just as they were about to take advantage of the situation and join forces to eliminate the Great Hollow in front of them, another unexpected event occurred!
The Gigain, which had just roared, released a substance resembling black mud from the black abyss above.
This nauseating black mud, as it fell from the abyss and landed on the ground, quickly transformed into three Gigain right before Black Zaki Ichigo's astonished eyes.
One Gigain had already pushed them to their limits, and now three more appeared. This was truly hopeless!
Upon seeing the three new Gigain, they realized that the red spiritual pressure gathering before the Hollow masks was the same technique they had just witnessed, the "Hollow Flash."
Facing these three Hollow Flashes, Black Zaki Ichigo and his companions were truly on the brink of despair.
Even with his power boost, he had barely managed to block one Hollow Flash, and now there were three in rapid succession. No matter how powerful his external assistance, he couldn't possibly withstand them all!
"Boom——————!"
Facing these three Hollow Flashes, Ichigo and Weiji no longer debated who should take the lead.
It was pointless; no matter who stood in front, they would both inevitably meet their end!
Gripping their Zanpakuto and with Weiji deploying her "Triple Shield," they stood side by side, ready for their final resistance against the three approaching red pillars of light.
However, just as they mustered their emotions and prepared for their last desperate struggle, a figure with a white ponytail appeared before them without warning.
Gazing at the three red Hollow flashes flying in parallel, the newcomer extended his hand in a sword-like gesture, and amidst the stunned expressions of Kurosaki Ichigo and Inoue Orihime, he relied solely on his hand blade to disperse the three approaching flashes of Hollow energy!
"Breakthrough Technique Four·White Lightning!"
As the Hollow flashes were dispersed, the white-haired figure slowly extended a finger, from which a white thunderbolt shot forth.
Accompanying the white lightning that pierced the sky, the first Gillian that appeared was only halfway through its Hollow flash when it was directly headshot by the newcomer.
"It seems I'm not too late after all. Young men and women, do you need outside assistance? Our rates are very reasonable, oh."
Turning to look at the white-haired figure, Kurosaki Ichigo and Inoue Orihime were both stunned. However, after Orihime's brief daze, her face was once again filled with astonishment.
"Nightshade-kun, how are you here, and in this outfit... So, Nightshade-kun, you're also a Shinigami?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was astonished, not only by Nightshade's strength but also by the fact that he had barely managed to block the powerful Hollow's flash, while Nightshade effortlessly dispersed three flashes with his bare hands.
Moreover, the seemingly formidable Gillian was instantly defeated, which completely redefined their understanding of power.
On the other hand, Inoue Orihime was stunned the moment she caught a glimpse of Nightshade's silhouette. Having lived together, she naturally couldn't mistake her relative.
However, precisely because of this, Orihime was surprised. She had never imagined that her distant cousin was also a Shinigami, just like Kurosaki.
"Orihime, I'm truly sorry for keeping this from you for so long. I'll explain the details later, but first, let me deal with these uninvited guests."
As Nightshade finished speaking, his body instantly vanished from Ichigo and Orihime's sight. The speed at which he moved was so fast that Ichigo was left speechless, as he couldn't even see how Nightshade had moved.
In the blink of an eye, Nightshade's figure had already reached the three Gillians.
The next second, a fan-shaped slash split the air, and the three seemingly dull-witted Gillians didn't even have time to react before their bodies were separated from their heads, and their massive forms gradually turned to dust in the air.
After disposing of the Gillians, Nightshade sheathed his Zanpakuto and began chanting Kido, targeting the numerous ordinary-level Hollows in the sky.
Clearing the field with wide-range Kido was not only faster but also more efficient than using slashes.
"Overlord! Bloodflesh Mask, Myriad, Feather Strike, Crowned with Human Name! Cavernous Flame Wall Inscribed Dual Lotus, Distant Sky Awaits Great Inferno Abyss.
Breakthrough Technique Seventy-Three·Dual Lotus Cavernous Flame Plunge!"
As Nightshade finished chanting, a cyan flame descended from the sky like heavenly rain, and each fiery tongue accurately struck every Hollow in the air.
In just a few moments, the swarm of Hollows was instantly cleared, turning into dust and vanishing.
This astonishing display left the inexperienced Hollows stunned, frozen in their places.
