I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

An invisible shockwave spread out, making the clothes of the people around it rustle.

At this moment, the expressions of the people in the room were all very solemn.

Things are serious!

……

"What a waste!"

High in the sky, watching as the materialized Zanpakuto he controlled after his Bankai was almost completely wiped out by Erin's attack, Hoshino Hibiki frowned and cursed under his breath.

At this point, Hoshino Hibiki no longer cared about the Seireitei or the Captain-Commander's ban.

His Zanpakuto is the strongest!

But strangely enough, this guy named Erin seems to be very restrained.

Aside from the first time he successfully controlled his Zanpakuto, all the Zanpakuto that appeared afterward were immune to his control.

For this reason alone, this guy must die!

In the Soul Society, no one is allowed to exist who cannot control their Zanpakuto with their own abilities!

"Muramasa, I want to make this person experience the most terrifying despair in the shortest amount of time!"

"Then, kill him!"

"Yes, Lord Xianghe."

After bowing respectfully to Hoshino Hibiki, the gloomy Muramasa extended his right hand towards Erin's direction.

"Shadow Binding Technique!"

……

The collision between the Wind Scar's slash and Tengumaru's ultimate technique caused further destruction to the buildings in this area.

As the smoke and dust cleared, two figures radiating powerful spiritual pressure emerged from the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Ok?"

"As expected of the captains' Zanpakuto, the Wind Scar didn't even manage to do any damage to them."

"So……"

Just as Erin was about to use a stronger move, he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in countless threads, making him unable to move.

Erin was startled, but quickly recovered.

Erin remembered this move.

"This move is Muramasa's skill!"

Although invisible to the naked eye, the protagonist saw countless threads wrapped around his Zanpakuto in the reflection of his own mental world.

"projection--"

"Shhhhhhh!"

More than a dozen Zanpakuto appeared in the air, transforming into sharp arrows that fell around Erin.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

With each cracking sound, Erin felt his body relax considerably.

Once all the invisible threads binding her were severed, Erin regained her freedom.

"Heh, thanks for reminding me."

"If you hadn't hit me like that, I would have almost forgotten who my real opponent was."

Looking up at the sky, Erin's spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.

"Spiritual pressure erupts!"

This is the second time Erin has used this ability since defeating Noriyuki Omaeda.

After using the spiritual pressure burst, Erin's spiritual pressure intensity once again approached that of Hoshino Hibiki after Bankai.

"Flame Tessaiga!"

"Bear bear bear bear..."

At Erin's call, the Tessaiga in his hand instantly transformed into a flaming blade radiating powerful flames.

The scorching heat baked the air around Erin, creating ripples in the air.

Then, ignoring the two Zanpakuto charging towards him, Erin unleashed his strongest attack at Hoshino Hibiki in the sky—

"Flame - Wind Scar!"

In an instant, three slashes, swirling with wind and fire, shot straight into the sky, as if to engulf Hoshino Echo River.

"hateful!"

Faced with this towering slash, a hint of fear flashed in Hoshino Hibiki's eyes.

His ability can severely weaken almost all Shinigami in his presence, while his side gains more powerful Zanpakuto.

However, Muramasa's abilities were ineffective against Erin's direct and powerful attacks.

Faced with this powerful attack, Hoshino Hibiki could only call out the name of his Zanpakuto in his heart.

"Muramasa!"

Summoned by Hoshino Hibiki, Muramasa's body appeared in front of Hoshino Hibiki.

In a moment of crisis, Hoshino Hibiki prepares to use his Zanpakuto to shield himself from the attack.

Muramasa did not object to his master's actions.

For Muramasa, as long as his master is safe, what does it matter if he falls into hell?

Therefore, when Muramasa appeared in front of Hoshino Hibiki, in addition to unleashing his own power to fight against the three fiery slashes, he also had Tengumaru and Akitsuki outside launch an attack on the slashes.

"Fire-blowing Little Hammer!"

"Crescent Moon Chong!"

Chapter 25 Prison

"boom!"

Whether it's Tengumaru, Kengetsu, or Erin's Flame Tessaiga, they are all fire-type Zanpakuto.

After the spiritual pressure erupted, the Flame Wind Scar unleashed by Erin's Flame Tessaiga was nearly as powerful as the captains' Bankai.

"Fire Blows Small Hammer" and "Crescent Moon Sky Slash" are the ultimate techniques of Tengumaru and Akatsuki Bankai, respectively.

The clash of the three captain-level Bankai techniques turned half of the Seireitei sky red.

The shockwaves and dissipating spiritual pressure from the explosions sent the Grim Reapers who tried to approach flying.

Those who were able to withstand the shockwave and rush towards the center of the battle were mostly captains wearing white captain's haori.

……

"Boom..."

Amidst the flames, a figure bursts out of the explosion, bearing multiple burns from the blast.

Hoshino Hibiki!

"Damn it!"

The fear in Hoshino Hibiki's eyes had not yet dissipated when it transformed into unparalleled killing intent.

As expected, this vice-captain named Erin must die!

However, recalling Erin's terrifying slash just now, Hoshino Hibiki felt dissatisfaction with his Zanpakuto Muramasa for the first time.

Why is Muramasa a Zanpakuto of the illusion type?

Why can't Muramasa unleash a slash of that power?

Why was Muramasa unable to completely shield himself from such a powerful slash?

Hoshino Hibiki attributed the root cause of all this to his own Zanpakuto, Muramasa, blaming it for its weak abilities.

However, he forgot that if he hadn't become obsessed with the power of Muramasa and had diligently practiced the four techniques of the Shinigami, he could have used powerful slashing techniques to fight back against Erin's attacks, used Shunpo to evade the attack range, and used powerful defensive Kido techniques to defend himself...

Hoshino Kyoga, who blamed all his incompetence on his Zanpakuto, was unaware that the compatibility between himself and his Zanpakuto was gradually decreasing...

Muramasa, who was not good at head-on confrontations, was severely injured by Erin's attack earlier.

However, this does not prevent Hoshino Hibiki from continuing to use Muramasa's abilities.

In order to shatter Erin's Flame Wind Scar as quickly as possible, Tengumaru and Akitsuki both used their Bankai.

Muramasa is not a Zanpakuto for direct confrontation, but Tengumaru and Kengetsu are Zanpakuto that are capable of facing any enemy head-on.

At that moment, Hoshino Hibiki wanted to control Tengumaru and Satsuki after their Bankai to launch an attack on Erin.

Under the attack of two captain-level Zanpakuto, Erin could be killed in at most ten breaths!

but--

"That's it!"

"Swish!"

Three figures dressed in white haori appeared on the battlefield.

The captain of the second division stood between Erin and the two Zanpakuto.

The captain of the Sixth Division, Kuchiki Ginrin, also broke free from her inner turmoil and appeared beside Hoshino Hibiki.

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, stood at the very center of the battlefield.

That's him, the one I've just mentioned.

……

The battle between Erin and Hoshino Hibiki ultimately did not continue.

Furthermore, both Hoshino Kyouga and Erin were handed over to Kensei Muguruma, the captain of the 9th Division, by Kyoraku Shunsui on charges of "disturbing the peace of Seireitei".
