Chapter 95: The Easily Slain Grand Hollow
Chapter 95: The Easily Slain Grand Hollow
Although Yecheng was unaware of the principle behind the unique individual Kiliyan's "Vaporization" ability, he could deduce that it belonged to the "Onmyodo" category. And since it was an Onmyodo ability, using Onmyodo techniques would naturally allow him to restrict it.
Indeed, Yecheng's speculation proved correct. When he used "Chain Binding" to restrain the Kiliyan, it was unable to use its previous "Vaporization" ability.
Even for Onmyodo abilities, there was a balance of strengths and weaknesses. Yecheng's spiritual pressure was stronger than this unique Kiliyan, so it was bound by Yecheng.
If the Kiliyan's spiritual pressure had been stronger, the situation would have been reversed. Even if Yecheng had bound it with "Chain Binding," the Kiliyan, with its superior spiritual pressure, could have still used its "Vaporization" ability. This was the power dynamic in the world of Shinigami.
However, it was evident that the unique Kiliyan's spiritual pressure was far weaker than Yecheng's, so it couldn't break free from his "Chain Binding." It could only watch helplessly as the blue crescent moon slowly approached it.
The Hollow Flash was split in two, and its body was further restrained by the Binding Arts. The fate of this unique Kiliyan was clear.
The massive blue crescent moon, undiminished in its momentum, shattered the Kiliyan's red Hollow Flash and then sliced through its enormous body, dividing it cleanly in half like a watermelon, until it finally disappeared into the horizon.
As the Kiliyan's massive body gradually turned into black particles and vanished, Akira Asagaya, who had been observing the battle, remained in a state of shock.
She acknowledged that her strength wasn't exceptional; otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to the World of the Living as a stationed Shinigami.
However, this didn't mean she lacked experience. As she fought and encountered various low-level Hollows daily, Akira Asagaya's combat experience and knowledge far surpassed many members of the Gotei Thirteen.
Precisely because of this, she understood how powerful the unique Kiliyan was.
Ordinary Kiliyans, though classified as lower-level Grand Hollows, were already formidable opponents for most Shinigami.
For instance, Vasto Lorde Hollows, the strongest among Grand Hollows, were known to challenge the captains of the Gotei Thirteen, while Adjuchas Hollows could match vice-captains.
Even the weakest of Grand Hollows, Kiliyans, required the skill of a seat officer from the Gotei Thirteen to be defeated.
The previous Kiliyan, after consuming a sixth-seat Shinigami, not only had its spiritual pressure become far stronger than an average Kiliyan, but it also possessed the troublesome "Vaporization" ability.
But now, it had been easily slain by a fifth-seat member of their squad.
Akira Asagaya had initially thought that Yecheng might engage in a fierce battle with the Kiliyan, perhaps even finding himself at a disadvantage until the arrival of Vice-Captain Shizuru Tagawa and Reikaku Sanzai.
However, the reality was that Yecheng, a fifth-seat member of her squad, had defeated the unique Kiliyan without even unsheathing his Zanpakuto, and with just a few moves!
"Your body seems injured; let me help you with healing."
By the time Akira Asagaya came back to her senses, Yecheng was already by her side, a green aura gathering in his hand as he began to heal her...
"Is this Healing Arts? Yecheng, a fifth-seat member, you've even mastered Healing Arts?"
Onmyodo was divided into "Destruction," "Binding," and "Healing" arts, with Healing Arts being the most challenging of the three.
Even members of the Fourth Division, tasked with healing, didn't necessarily master Healing Arts, yet here was Yecheng, a member of the Thirteenth Division, displaying such proficiency!
"Actually, when I graduated from the Shin'o Academy, I initially wanted to join the Fourth Division, so I put in some effort to learn Healing Arts."
However, due to subsequent events, he inadvertently joined the 13th Division, known as the 'Purification Squad'.
Well, none of that matters now. That special individual Kiliyan has been eliminated, so I should report back to the Soul Society."
Yecheng's Healing Arts skills were quite impressive. In just a few minutes, the wounds the Kiliyan had inflicted on the young female Shinigami were completely healed.
With such Healing Arts prowess, he could have easily secured a position as a Seat Officer in the 4th Division. Unfortunately, due to a series of misunderstandings, he ended up in the 13th Division.
Yecheng's mention of returning to the Soul Society was just a way to put off Akira Asagaya.
From Akira, Yecheng also learned that he had been declared missing after accidentally entering Limbo.
Since he was already 'missing,' and it was not easy for him to come to the World of the Living, he was planning to visit Kusajishi Town next door to get acquainted with Kiyoshi Futada and other big shots.
However, just as Yecheng was about to shirk his duties, an Interdimensional Gate suddenly appeared before him.
Accompanied by two Death Soul Butterflies flying out of the gate, a black-haired man with a spiky hairdo and a curvy female Shinigami slowly emerged from the gate.
Yecheng: (▽｀)
Kaede Shiba: (_;)
Undoubtedly, the black-haired man with the spiky hairdo who stepped out of the gate was Kaede Shiba, the Vice Captain of the 13th Division and a Good Samaritan.
He and the curvy female Shinigami, Reikaku Sanzai, had come to Floating Town in the World of the Living under Captain Fukutsuki's orders to eliminate a mutated Kiliyan.
However, to their surprise, they did not encounter the special Kiliyan. Instead, the first thing they saw upon opening the gate was Yecheng, who had previously gone missing in Limbo.
"Great, Yecheng! I knew you weren't the type to give up so easily! After hearing about your disappearance, Captain Fukutsuki even made a trip to Limbo. But he only found the lingering Spirit Pressure from your battle there.
Captain Fukutsuki had been quite despondent about this, as he felt responsible for sending you to the World of the Living. He's been greatly relieved to know you're safe and sound!"
After a brief moment of mutual surprise, Kaede Shiba quickly recovered and rushed forward to give Yecheng a bear hug.
Kaede Shiba was a caring figure, treating everyone in the 13th Division like a close friend or an older brother.
However, it must be said that since Yecheng joined the division, Kaede Shiba had treated him differently from the others, considering him a close friend.
In terms of experience as a Shinigami, Yecheng was still relatively new compared to those who had served for decades.
Nevertheless, Kaede Shiba often felt that Yecheng possessed a remarkably mature mindset, as if he understood him well, which made their conversations very enjoyable.
When Kaede Shiba learned of Yecheng's disappearance in Limbo, he was the first to volunteer to investigate, but Captain Fukutsuki had already organized a search party.
Limbo was considered dangerous even for Vice Captains, which was why Kaede Shiba was sent to the World of the Living while Captain Fukutsuki personally went to Limbo to find Yecheng.
