Chapter 112: Chapter 112
His opponent moved extremely fast; less than two seconds after Kaelith noticed, the person had already gently opened his door.
In the darkness of the night, Kaelith squinted, watching the door slowly open on its own.
Not gonna lie, this was actually quite creepy.
As the door opened, a figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared at the entrance.
Kaelith controlled his shadow, forming two long hands that crawled along the wall, gently lifting the veil under the hat.
As the veil lifted, Kaelith couldn't help but be stunned.
Shinchira Renzosuke?
Then, a smile appeared on his face.
"Someone! Arrest—"
But before he could finish, Shinchira also revealed a delighted expression.
"Bankai!"
"Forest Hell Shadow!"
Kaelith: "?"
Under his dumbfounded gaze, dozens of thick vines unfurled from Shinchira's body, wrapping both him and Kaelith in less than a second.
Looking at the writhing, winding tree trunks around him, Kaelith exclaimed.
"You're not Shinchira! You're a Senju!"
Shinchira: "?"
Seeing Kaelith's excited expression as if he had discovered a new continent, Shinchira couldn't help but frown.
But immediately, the immense joy made him not care about these things.
As the Tree Realm... ahem, as countless branches completely enveloped the surroundings, the scene around them became entirely different.
Kaelith was surprised to find himself standing in a tropical rainforest.
Towering straight trunks piercing the sky, gigantic leaves blocking out the sun, and intertwined thorny vines made him feel as if he were in another world.
Not far away, Shinchira stood beside a large tree, taking a deep breath with a look of intoxication.
"Ah... it's still here that makes one feel most comfortable."
Kaelith held his Zanpakutō, using the sheath to poke the nearby tree.
The feedback felt very real.
He tried touching it with artificial soul particles and also received genuine feedback.
"Your Bankai is interesting..."
"Not an illusion, but creating a space out of thin air."
"Were you perhaps helping the Night Raid team fight alien beasts back in the day?"
Shinchira didn't understand Kaelith's words.
In fact, he was somewhat accustomed to this.
Suddenly, dozens of flexible branches shot in from all directions, their sharp tips aiming at Kaelith!
Bang! Bang bang bang!!
Kaelith reversed his grip on the sword, adjusting the blade's angle with minimal movements to deflect the branches stabbing toward him one by one.
Then, he suddenly looked upward.
A massive hardwood trunk was crashing down at him like a cannonball!
"Well then."
Kaelith used Shunpo, his figure flickering as he appeared some distance away.
Boom!!!!!!
The gigantic hardwood trunk smashed into the ground, instantly exploding into a hemispherical crater over twenty meters in diameter.
Then, a second one suddenly appeared out of thin air, descending from the sky.
Boom!! Boom boom boom!!!!!
One massive trunk after another crashed down faster and faster, leaving numerous hemispherical craters on the ground around.
Suddenly, as Kaelith landed after another Shunpo, several roots shot out from the soil as if lying in wait, binding his feet.
Three massive hardwood trunks and ten spear-like branches attacked simultaneously!
Seeing this scene, Shinchira's eyes lit up.
Success!
His Bankai, Forest Hell Shadow, had the ability to bring everyone in his line of sight into a special space and launch indiscriminate attacks.
The more enemies he killed, the stronger they were, the higher the intelligence his Bankai would possess, using even more insidious methods.
From the beginning, when he came here, he wasn't targeting Marenoshin Ōmaeda. Instead, he waited for the opportunity when Kaelith was protecting Marenoshin to use his Bankai's ability to single him out!
As Kaelith's arch-rival (self-proclaimed), Shinchira eagerly absorbed all information about Kaelith.
He naturally knew that the latter served as an examiner for the captain's promotion test and defeated Kensei in a frontal battle.
Shinchira wasn't too surprised that Kaelith could win.
After all, that kid had even defeated Tai Takada; defeating Kensei was nothing.
Even if he could defeat Kensei, it didn't change the fact that Kaelith had just broken through to Third-Class Spiritual Power and was a "newbie" who wasn't yet familiar with Reiatsu.
No matter how strong his physical skills were or how terrifying his solo combat ability, within his own Bankai, Kaelith would eventually be exhausted by endless killing arrays and collapse from fatigue!
To carry out this plan, he had spent considerable effort.
Fortunately, the plan had finally succeeded.
Soon, Kaelith would die within his Bankai, becoming new nourishment for "Forest Hell Shadow"!
Shinchira curled his lips into a smile, eagerly waiting to hear the sounds of Kaelith being smashed and pierced.
In the next instant, his eyes suddenly widened.
Under Shinchira's astonished gaze, a pure and dense pillar of Reiatsu burst forth from Kaelith, soaring into the sky!
Third-class spiritual Power, as if solidified, continuously spread outward from his body.
The killing moves rushing toward him was like sandcastles being washed away by giant waves, instantly scattered!
Even the surrounding air trembled violently under the influence of Kaelith's Reiatsu, fluctuating unpredictably!
Shinchira: "…?"
What the heck is this?
Not to mention that Kaelith had just broken through not long ago; theoretically, he couldn't possibly be so proficient in using Reiatsu at a new level.
Even if he could master it, what's with this ridiculously abundant amount?
Under Shinchira's gaze, Kaelith withdrew the Reiatsu pillar.
"Um... Renosuke, let me confirm something."
"It's Renzosuke!"
"Renzosuke, does this barrier of yours truly isolate us completely from the outside world?"
Shinchira nodded subconsciously.
Then, he suddenly realized that something seemed off.
Receiving Shinchira's confirmation, Kaelith showed a satisfied smile.
"So it's like that, completely isolated."
"If you'd said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
As he spoke, the Reiatsu pillar on his body rose again.
Even for captain-level Shinigami, this would be an enormous consumption, yet on him, it seemed endless, without any sign of strain.
Various attacks capable of killing senior seated officers in one blow continuously assaulted Kaelith from all directions.
However, these attacks couldn't even get close under the terrifying Reiatsu released by Kaelith, being destroyed mid-air.
"Impossible... how is this possible?!"
Looking at the unbelievable scene before him, Shinchira couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.
Within the light pillar, Kaelith raised his sword and lightly waved it.
Then he shook his head and casually inserted the sword into the ground beside him.
Next, he pulled off the top half of his Shihakushō by pulling both sides outward.
Facing Shinchira's horrified gaze, he grinned.
"Patchouli! Go!"
