In Hueco Mundo With shendu Template

Without hesitation.

The remaining Menos Grande immediately spread its limbs and fled toward the deeper parts of the Menos Grande Forest.

The Menos Grande, who had been fighting with him for a long time, was instantly killed by someone.

It was too late even to react.

Monsters of this level are simply not something he can deal with.

Limbs prostrate on the ground, the tail compressed like a spring, it exploded with astonishing speed.

This was a kangaroo-like Adjucha.

It just had some strange limbs and organs, making it look very odd.

It didn't use Sonído.

Instead, it relied solely on the explosion of its own speed, trying to escape from the battlefield.

Sonído is an extremely high-level skill for Menos Grande, and even the Espada can't claim full mastery of it.

Not to mention the lower Adjucha.

"What a decisive move."

Szayelaporro watched the distorted figure disappear into the distance, without any intention of intercepting it.

Even with just a brief confrontation, he had gauged Shendu's strength.

In a life-and-death battle between the two, Szayelaporro didn't have much confidence in surviving.

Shendu dropped the corpse of the dead Menos Grande, flames burning away the blood left on his claws.

In the next moment, another deafening roar burst forth.

A larger crater was blasted into the ground, and the terrifying explosive force propelled Shendu closer to the fleeing Menos Grande in an instant.

The howling wind carried a ferocious intensity.

The muscles in Shendu's right arm squirmed, and it swung down like a heavy hammer.

Boom!

A dull thud resounded through the air.

Dark red blood splashed from the pores, and the kangaroo Adjucha immediately collapsed, frozen in place.

Another one-hit kill, without suspense.

With Shendu's current strength, he was leagues beyond the Adjucha of the Menos Grande Forest.

His massive maw, lined with sharp teeth, opened wide, devouring all the spiritual seeds that the Adjucha had left in death.

In less than a second, all that remained on the ground were faint traces of blood.

If not for the collapsed giant quartz tree, no one would believe that a fierce battle had just taken place in the area.

Feeling his Reiatsu rise within him, Shendu grinned with satisfaction.

At this rate, it would take only a few more days for him to evolve from an Adjucha into a Vasto Lorde.

Then, he could take the next step.

His goal was simple:

To establish a boundless dragon dynasty and make the entire world bow at his feet!

Whether Menos Grande, Shinigami, or Quincy…

Szayelaporro's eyes darkened slightly, but he showed no such emotions in front of Shendu.

"What a perfect hunt!"

He praised, "Next, it's better to seize the momentum and continue pursuing."

"The Adjucha in the Menos Grande Forest will likely hide if word spreads."

"It will be much harder to find them then."

Shendu cast a deep look at Szayelaporro, only averting his gaze when the latter began to feel uneasy.

"Fine."

One tall figure and one short figure moved swiftly through the Menos Grande Forest.

That day, the Adjucha of the Menos Grande Forest faced their end.

Horrifying monsters from above had savagely slaughtered the Menos Grande Forest.

This news spread rapidly among the Hollows.

The Adjucha fled in panic, hiding in various concealed locations. Some even attempted to leave the Menos Grande Forest and escape to the peripheral areas of Hueco Mundo.

But they were too late.

Szayelaporro's strange probing circuits left no hiding place undetected.

No Adjucha could escape his perception.

As Shendu continued devouring his prey, Szayelaporro's thoughts grew darker and darker.

"This monster…"

"Does he have no limit to his consumption of Reiatsu?!"

A day passed, and Shendu still showed no signs of exhaustion.

Just as at the start, no matter how powerful the Adjucha were, they were instantly killed.

Their heads were either smashed, bodies torn apart, or burned to death…

Even someone as inhumane as Szayelaporro felt a faint numbness.

Crunch—

Shendu devoured yet another Adjucha trying to escape. The muscles across his body squirmed audibly, his dark green skin growing even darker, seemingly approaching black.

[Holy Lord Template: 15%]

[Current Abilities: Dragon Body, Fire Magic Energy, Dragon Talisman.]

[Reiatsu: Second-Class Spirit Power (To Be Evolved)]

After devouring countless Adjucha, Shendu finally evolved from third-class spirit power to second-class spirit power.

The already terrifying aura surrounding him grew even more dreadful.

The pressure he inadvertently exuded filled Szayelaporro with terror.

Without further delay, Szayelaporro spoke.

"Let's head that way."

He pointed forward to the left. "At least three Adjucha are fleeing in that direction."

Hearing this, Shendu turned sideways and stared at Szayelaporro with strange eyes for a long time.

Only when Szayelaporro's heart began racing did Shendu finally look in the direction he had indicated.

The probing circuit.

It wasn't a skill unique to Arrancar.

As Shendu evolved through devouring, he too gradually mastered this ability.

In the far distance to the left, Reiatsu that didn't belong to Menos Grande roamed and surged.

Shinigami.

If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected soon would.

Shendu sneered, his expression becoming colder than ever.

From the beginning, he never trusted Szayelaporro.

Working with this man meant risking having your heart literally torn out - physically.

Still, Shendu looked forward to the Shinigami who had battled in the Menos Grande Forest for a hundred years.

He hoped that opponent would finally provide him with a satisfying challenge...

Northwest of the Menos Grande Forest.

A tall figure wearing an antelope mask moved swiftly between the quartz trees. The flickering figure shattered an Adjucha's attack, cutting it cleanly in two.

Hot blood sprayed into the forest, merging with the shadows.

Suddenly, Ashido froze in place. A flash of fear crossed his face beneath the mask, and he instinctively looked into the nearby darkness.

A burly figure slowly emerged from the shadows, stepping into view.

Nearly perfect in form, with a ferocious and cruel dragon's head, the being radiated a terrifying aura.

It was as though a mountain weighed upon Ashido's heart.

Shendu grinned, his deep and magnetic voice echoing through the Menos Grande Forest.

"Shinigami..."
