“That makes sense.”
Mayuri Kurotsuchi nodded approvingly, thinking to himself: As expected, he's still a researcher at heart.
The temptation to study new organisms is simply irresistible to people like them.
If he hadn't had to help cover up the disappearance of the Eleventh Division's captain and vice-captain, he probably would have gone to the mortal world with them.
Thinking about his deal with Joe Higashi, Mayuri Kurotsuchi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
One week later.
"I understand. It's about time to close the net."
Having exchanged information with Kiyohime to ensure that the transmigrator brother wouldn't run into the mortal world and cause an accident, Aizen, who had been idle for a few days, calculated that the time was almost up.
"The Demonic Mystic Arts are annihilated!"
"It's useless, your trick is too fancy."
Tear.
The astonishing pillar of fire had just risen from the ground when it was cleaved in two by a flash of light.
Holding two swords, Okada Izo charged forward with murderous intent.
Bang! Smoke billowed, and a wooden stake replaced Hattori Hanzo's figure, while he himself had vanished without a trace.
Has invisibility reached this level?
Okada Izo pursed his lips in displeasure and stopped what he was doing.
Compared to concealing one's presence, the opponent's invisibility not only conceals their physical form but also their aura, which makes Okada Izou, who prefers head-on confrontations, feel quite awkward.
Well, actually, assassinating others is quite a satisfying thing; he just doesn't like others using similar abilities on him.
Originally, this was because he himself possessed excellent "aura concealment" abilities.
At first, he was able to detect Hattori Hanzo's invisibility, but his opponent improved very quickly, especially after he was brutally beaten and awakened "Shura Mode".
Subsequently, its overall strength improved rapidly.
Even now, he can no longer see through the opponent's invisibility.
What exactly is the enhancement of Shura Mode? In the game, Shura and Rakshasa are just two different specializations. The former is strong in anti-air combat, while the latter is strong in ground combat, and this strength is limited to the ultimate move.
In reality, this is not the case.
According to the system, the Asura Mode is for enhancing combat awareness and refining combat skills; it can be compared to the "..." in basketball.
The "Selflessness" in Tennis
Same.
The basic abilities remain the same, but the percentage that can be utilized has increased dramatically.
With increased awareness and improved skills, responding to air raids becomes natural and effortless.
Rakshasa Mode is the state that truly enhances the hard conditions, raising the basic attributes to become stronger, thus making it more adept at head-on collisions in ground combat.
To put it more vividly, Asura Mode is like Observation Haki, and Rasetsu Mode is like Armament Haki.
One method indirectly increases combat power without changing the character's base attributes, while the other simply increases attack and defense attributes temporarily to boost combat power.
Having awakened the Shura Mode, Hattori Hanzo experienced its keenness and gained insight into its normal state, which naturally led him to become more proficient and stronger.
Although it is impossible to reach the strength of the Asura Mode in normal mode, it is constantly getting closer to the Asura Mode.
Hattori Hanzo, who had appeared from the side, remained silent.
"It's about time to move. Hanzo, go and change into your artificial body."
Seeing the two stop sparring, Aizen immediately...
He gave the order.
"Yes."
Despite his taciturn nature, Hattori Hanzo possesses exceptional initiative.
Except for Nezha, who stayed behind to guard the house, the three of them left this temporary settlement in the real world.
Beside a river in a rural forest, several figures stand facing each other in the distance.
"So it was you who dared to attack the Nura Clan?"
The blond youth, whose head and body were strangely separated, stared coldly at the person opposite him.
This young man is Kubinashi of the Nura Clan.
There were two people opposite him, but one of them couldn't really be considered a person.
That one isn't exactly human... it has human limbs but a dog's head, and a really good-looking Shiba Inu head at that, cough cough.
The other person had tattoos under his eyes, short silver-white hair, bandages wrapped around his hands, tattoos on his upper body, and was carrying an exaggerated scythe, making him look like no good person.
"Nura Clan, hahaha, you mean that... comedic organization that turns yokai into child's play?"
The man wielding the scythe laughed mockingly. As a villain, his sarcasm was quite profound, and his very words made the headless man's face turn cold.
"Dare you say 'playing house comedy' again?"
"A mere headless ghost, if you don't know what's good for you, then die! Storm!"
Don't ask why there were no updates after yesterday; the backend crashed and I couldn't upload.
Chapter 255 The Scene Suddenly Becomes Awkward 18/39
A storm erupted! A green magic circle appeared out of thin air.
Accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound, the high-speed spinning tornado swept horizontally through the air.
Shouwu, facing this attack head-on, was slightly startled and dodged to the side: "Who exactly are you, with your ability to control the wind?"
The other person didn't say anything, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of their mouth.
With a whoosh, Shouwu, startled by the unusual sound, bent forward and wrapped his hands behind his back to weave a silk shield that blocked the attack diagonally upwards.
The rope trembled, deflecting the tornado's attack into the air.
Looking up to confirm that the tornado had dissipated after traveling some distance, Shouwu's expression became much more serious: "Your ability to temporarily change the shape of a high-speed rotating tornado is indeed impressive."
Judging from the looks of it, it must have been you who attacked the Nura Clan and the other yokai.
Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?
"I am Inugami, and I am also a yokai."
The dog god, who had been observing from the sidelines, solemnly introduced himself.
Sensing the other's openness, Kubinashi hesitated slightly: "Inugami, you don't seem like a bad person. What's with that human next to you? His power doesn't seem to have anything to do with yokai; he seems more like a foreign magician. Are you two in cahoots? And is the recent disappearance of yokai related to you?"
Despite being angered by the other person's words, Kubinashi still had a good impression of the dog god in front of him, so he was afraid that he had wronged the person.
If the dog god was also investigating this matter, and it just so happened that the two of them met first, and then the dog god caught up with them and assumed they were in cahoots, then it would be a bit of an injustice.
However, these words made Elicol laugh in exasperation.
Although they deliberately left clues to let the other party find them, he was inexplicably labeled as the bad guy while Inugami became the good guy, which made him very unhappy.
"Stop testing me, Inugami and I are in cahoots."
However, I must correct one thing: I do know magic, but I am a Grand Magister, not some kind of Magician.
My name is Eric Gor, remember this name that will send you to hell: Stormbreaker!
Swish swish.
A chaotic barrage of wind blades shot out from the magic circle, leaving Shouwu momentarily flustered.
The way he attacked without saying a word and the provocative words infuriated Shou Wu. His unstable mentality, coupled with the wind blade's certain restraint on the silk thread, prevented him from launching a counterattack for a short period of time.
"This kid does have some skill."
Inugami nodded secretly upon seeing Erigor in action for the first time, but he could tell that his opponent was even stronger.
Eligoll himself was oblivious to this, instead continuing his sarcastic remarks: "Heh, so this is all the famous Kubinashi of the Nura Clan has to offer? How disappointing."
The high-ranking officers of the Nura Clan only have so little strength, why bother putting on such a show?
It's easier to control the Nura Clan than to establish a foothold in the modern world.
Looking at Kubinashi, who could only parry but had no power to retaliate, Erigor thought disdainfully.
However, he dared not disobey Aizen's orders.
Aizen's intimidation of the Beast King was also a declaration of his strength to others. He overwhelmed them with his aura alone. No matter how arrogant Erigor was, he wouldn't think that the gap between him and Aizen was not that big.
Despite his apparent struggle to defend himself, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he flicked his finger.
"Kill the Spiral Blade!"
Suddenly, threads shot out from beneath Eric's feet and enveloped him, startling him greatly.
Realizing something was amiss, Erigor had no choice but to halt his attack and change tactics.
"Storm coat!"
Tear.
Several of the special red threads broke, and the rest were bounced away by the sharp, spinning wind blades of the armor. Shou Wu's eyelids twitched, and his heart ached terribly.
His weapons were all made from the hair of Jorogumo and Mao Changji, and his relationship with Mao Changji was rather... well...
But tick-tock.
Blood droplets drifted down from the undulating silk threads.
Eligoll, having removed his storm coat, was deathly pale, with several bloodstains on his upper body.
"You're really quite insidious."
"I grit my teeth and say bitterly."
"It's your own carelessness."
Shouwu, with a flippant expression, instantly retaliated against the other party's previous contempt.
This infuriated Eric Gor.
Suddenly, the sound of the silk thread snapping back to life appeared again.
"Kill the Spiral Blade!"
"You still want to use that Storm Coat trick!"
This time, Eligoll managed to block it, but the other party's shamelessness still shocked him.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of behavior be done by him, the villain? Why does it seem like the other person is even more shameless than him?
Having learned his lesson, Eligoll roared angrily, "I've been wearing my Stormcoat the whole time! Your soft, flimsy threads have no chance of penetrating my defenses!"
Seeing that Eric Gor didn't cancel his storm coat, Kubinashi frowned slightly.
His silk threads were extremely sharp, even sharper than the opponent's wind blades, but silk threads are still silk threads after all, and no matter how tough they are, they are inherently countered by wind attributes.
If the other party continues to maintain this state, it will truly be an impenetrable tortoise shell for him.
"Truly the worst kind of opponent in terms of compatibility."
Muttering a low complaint, Shouwu defiantly withdrew his silk threads, saying, "Let's just keep at it like this, let's see how long you can last."
Eric: "
Is this guy an idiot? The Stormcoat is indeed a sustainable spell, but that doesn't mean he can't launch an attack while maintaining the Stormcoat.
Thinking this, Erigor secretly gathered his magic power, preparing to teach his opponent a lesson in return.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to stay hidden in the shadows all this time?"
Inugami's voice suddenly rang out.
"There are others secretly watching."
Shou Wu was greatly surprised.
Even Erico, who was gathering his strength, caught his breath.
