Fate in Bleach: Unlimited Blade Works [Isekai]

Chapter 38 – Demon Arts Showdown!

“Shred him, Wind Lamentation!”

“Explode, Butterfly Dance Bird!”

“Roar, Reverse Lightning of Heaven Rebellion!”

After a batch of ordinary Shinigami Zanpakutos were killed, the Seated Officer level Zanpakutos also began close combat with Ailin.

Compared to those Zanpakutos without even a clear form, they, who had achieved Shikai, could feel the difference between them and Ailin even more clearly.

Therefore, upon entering the sword forest, these Zanpakutos with distinct shapes began releasing their own abilities one after another.

In an instant, over a dozen powerful Reiatsus surged as wind, fire, lightning and other elements assaulted Ailin.

“Heh...”

Facing these attacks, Ailin raised the sword in his hand with a low chant, calling out this blade’s true name—

“Bakusaiga!”

Boom!

As Ailin called out, endless purple lightning spread from the Zanpakuto in Ailin’s hand. This was a weapon from the same world as Tessaiga. Its might wasn’t inferior to Tessaiga in the slightest.

Endless purple lightning gathered atop Bakusaiga before finally coalescing into an enormous purple lightning dragon that thundered towards the incoming attacks.

“Sōryūha! (Azure Dragon Break)”

“Roar—”

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!

Beneath Bakusaiga’s Sōryūha, the dozen or so Seated Officer level Zanpakutos didn’t have the slightest ability to resist. They were directly blasted apart by the lightning dragon.

Moreover, the lightning dragon twisted and turned as it encompassed all dozen-plus of the Seated Officer Zanpakutos into its attack range before drowning them in its peerless lightning.

“Ahhhhhhh......”

After the lightning dragon dissipated, there was now a hundred meter long ravine before Ailin with lingering lightning still crackling within.

As for those dozen-plus Seated Officers’ Zanpakutos, they had already been completely obliterated by that one lightning dragon.

This terrifying strike shook the remaining Zanpakutos so much that even their charge forward halted. But under Kōga’s control, they still swarmed towards Ailin.

This time, the two Captain-class Zanpakutos, Tengumaru and Tachikaze, also joined the assault.

“Bankai—”

BOOM!

After Tachikaze, Tengumaru also activated Bankai. After all, they were merely Zanpakutos, a portion of a Shinigami’s power. Without a wielder’s Reiatsu to support them, a Zanpakuto’s abilities were actually much weaker compared to a complete Captain-class.

If a Shinigami’s Shunkō cultivation was high enough, using just Shikai could also defeat a Zanpakuto’s Bankai. With Ailin’s current strength, if he didn’t use Bankai, they didn’t have much chance of winning against him.

Whoosh!

As Tengumaru activated Bankai, Ailin beckoned with his hand as blue spirit particles gathered in his palm, quickly coalescing into a Zanpakuto.

“Flame Wind Scar – Tessaiga!”

BOOM!

Scorching flames wrapped around the enlarged fang-like blade. Ailin raised the fiery Tessaiga high overhead as spiraling winds spun around it, siphoning Reiatsu from the incoming attacks.

“Flame Wind Scar -Bakuryūha!”

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!

As Ailin slashed out, the berserk attack transformed into a fiery dragon that spiraled outwards.

Tessaiga’s Ōgi— Bakuryūha (Backlash Wave) was a skill that could manipulate an enemy’s attacks and Reiatsu before reflecting them back magnified.

All of the attacks aimed at Ailin were swept up by that fiery dragon, merging into the fiery column and enhancing its power even more.

“Ahhhhhhh......”

Beneath this absolutely overpowered Ōgi, none of the remaining Zanpakutos could escape. All of them were dragged in by their own Reiatsu as they were shredded apart by the slicing winds within the fiery tornado. Not even Tengumaru and Tachikaze were exceptions.

“Trash, all trash!”

“You’re all trash!”

Seeing the forces he worked hard to gather be completely annihilated by Ailin, Kōga bellowed in rage.

Wasn’t this just making it obvious he had wasted half a day doing something utterly pointless?

In his fury, Kōga even looked at his own Zanpakuto as if it was garbage. “You’re also trash!”

Muramasa: “......”

Beneath Ailin’s Bakuryūha, 7th Division had basically become ruins. Everywhere was burning fire, scorched blast marks and collapsed buildings.

“Surrender, 3rd Seat Kōga.”

Bakusaiga was in Ailin’s left hand and the fiery Tessaiga was in his right hand. Purple lightning and crimson flames dyed the skies on both sides of Ailin purple and red.

“With your current crimes, you would at most be imprisoned in the Muken for a few thousand or tens of thousands of years.”

“Hmph!” Kōga coldly sneered, “Don’t bluster, brat! I’m not trash like them.”

“Hadō #71: Rippuku!”

With a wave of his hand, violet spiritual power gathered into a point before Kōga and dispersed outwards into eight directions in straight lines before right-angling towards Ailin.

“Bakudō #73: Tozanshō!”

Faced with Kōga’s Demon Art attack, Ailin was utterly fearless as a semi-transparent triangular barrier appeared before him.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!

The light rays collided against the transparent barrier, resulting in deafening blasts. But ultimately, those eight light rays failed to penetrate through Tozanshō’s defensive barrier.

Whoosh!

“Hadō #34: Kongōbaku!”

“Hadō #33: Sōkatsui!”

Boom!

“Bakudō #62: Hyapporankan!”

“Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku!”

Crimson flames and azure flames interweaved as pillars of light and binding chains danced together. Without even engaging in close combat, Kōga and Ailin had already begun vying against each other in Demon Arts.

It had to be said, for Kōga to succeed a prodigy who died under Captain Commander Yamamoto as the Commander of the Detention Unit and 3rd Seat, his own strength wasn’t lacking. But compared to Ailin, he still fell short by more than just a bit.

Possessing the experiences of multiple Captain-class individuals, Ailin could now be said to have complete mastery over Demon Arts.

No matter whether Kōga used Hadō Destructive Spells or Bakudō Binding Spells, Ailin would instantly retaliate with even stronger Kidō.

After Kōga revealed a tiny flaw, Ailin extended his left index finger that crackled with lightning.

“Hadō #4: Byakurai!”

Boom!

This bolt of lightning tore through the veil of flames and smoke to strike Kōga’s left arm directly, boring a bloody hole through his shoulder. In the next moment, Kōga flickered away with Shunpo from their Demon Arts deadlock.

“Damn it!”

Glancing at the wound on his left shoulder, Kōga’s fury deepened even more. He didn’t expect that he would actually lose in a contest of Demon Arts.

“Very good, you damn brat, Ailin. You’ve succeeded in pissing me off. I’ll let you witness my true power this time!”
