Chapter 66: The Quincy and the Beast (66)
As Sora was going to make his way outside the soul society, something felt off, he felt like he was being trailed.
Well no biggy, making his way toward a large clearance, he began stretching his muscles, they felt rather stiff after a couple of days of not exercising.
A few seconds later, a black Air Force personified could be seen.
Big Kenpachi could be seen.
"Are you healed?" The man asked, more as of, can we run a fade right now without you blaming your injury for losing than the man genuinely being worried for Sora's safety.
"I am fine, though I feel stiff, "
"I have just the solution for you," The man said releasing his Zanpakuto.
Sora smiles at that.
"Don't bore me too much"
Not much done talking was done.
Sora created his gun and started firing from afar, Kenpachi began blocking the bullets, rushing at Sora like a rabid dog.
Using his sheer speed, Kenpachi appeared in front of Sora, raising his sword in the air, and slashing it at Sora.
Sora did not make an effort to block it, as the sword made contact with his skin, no cut could be seen.
What could only be described as Blu Vein could be seen.
To that, Kenny grins.
And thus, the fight truly begins, with Sora only using Blut Vein and Blut Arterie.
As he could tell that no one was looking right now, he planned on beating Kenpachi without using his Shrift, which should be simple enough, he was able to survive Shikai Shunsui without his Shrift.
Soken had made sure that the boy knew the importance of the basics and thus Sora even without his Shrift would still be considered captain level, he would still be a big threat.
This could be showcased right now, as he was currently beating the breaks of Kenpachi.
The man however just smiled through it all.
Gripping his blade, Kenpachi Zaraki rushed toward Sora, this was fun, this was the most fun he had in a while.
He wondered what got him so excited.
As Sora kicked Kenny away, making sure to fire a precise Reishi bullet at the man's gut, Sora watched as the smoke slowly vanished away from the explosion created by the attack.
As the man walked out from the rubble, Sora watched as the man Reiatsu burst out from his body.
At the center of the chaos stood Kenpachi, Sora could feel the man's bloodlust from here.
His desire to cut Sora down, his desire for this battle to last much longer.
The man's silhouette burned against a blinding golden inferno, a feral grin splitting his face as his Reiatsu erupted in an uncontrollable torrent.
The ground beneath them cracked and splintered, unable to withstand the sheer force of this manpower. His jagged blade hung loosely in one hand, yet it radiated a menacing aura as if it were a living extension of his unyielding will.
The golden energy coiled and writhed around him, forming an almost draconic shape that lashed out against the air, hungry to consume everything in its path.
Kenpachi tilted his head back, his maniacal laughter piercing through the deafening roar of energy.
It wasn't the laughter of madness but rather one of pure exhilaration.
This was fun,
The battlefield fell silent as an overwhelming force of Reiatsu emanated from him, capturing Sora's attention. This scene got Sora all giddy so that power was hidden inside this man all along.
Kenpachi's voice rumbled through the golden storm, low and guttural, yet carrying the weight of an unshakeable promise.
"Come at me with everything you've got," he roared, his grin widening further. "Because anything less... ain't worth my time!"
It would be very rude of Sora to not also release his Reiatsu.
But first, before he does that.
A little barrier around their fighting area was made, the barrier was put in place so that, anyone outside of it, could not tell what was going on within the barrier, the barrier was transparent which meant they could see through it, but if they were on the other side, they wouldn't be able to well, feel the Reiatsu being released.
Once making sure soul society wouldn't feel his increase in power, Sora then let it out.
All of out it, all of his Reiryoku came out pouring out of his body.
Kenpachi could feel it, the sheer amount of Reiatsu being released by the child was immense.
Sora felt it...so much power.
So much goddam power, in this state, he could probably even face a serious Shikai Shunsui, this power, it felt amazing.
A surge of silver energy came pouring out of Sora's body, the release of power was enough to destroy the floor that they were standing on.
Cracks could be seen on the barriers that Sora had created, and the whole area they were in began shaking.
"Control it Sora" He muttered to himself, he wasn't a brute, he would leave that responsibility to the Shinigami, he was a Quincy and one thing they were known for was their control, Learning how to control Reishi down to the molecular level gave Sora a new insight in spiritual energy.
Control was key, closing his eyes a bit, all that power that was gushing out of his body just a moment earlier stopped.
The violent flow of the power was controlled, restrained even.
Sora's eyes were closed throughout that process, this was taking him longer than he would have liked.
Something having less Reiryoku made shit easier, now, he needed to get a grip on his brand-new pool of energy.
His energy calm down a bit.
Opening his eyes, Sora Reiatsu's level has been controlled, having decided that instead of just letting his Reiatsu flare out, he would instead control it within his own body.
Having condensed his power inside of his body, not letting an ounce of it, leave his body.
He felt a new feeling when he did that.
Was it calm perhaps?
Looking at Kenpachi, his opponent, Sora looked at the battle craze expression on his face.
He wanted to see if Kenpachi could handle him going all out.
