A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Qiang——

The short sword slowly drew out of the scabbard, and the subtle sound was particularly harsh in Hitsugaya Toshiro's ears.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

It was the Arrancar who called himself Ruby and pulled out the blade.

This guy is the sixth ranked Arrancar! The expression on Hitsugaya Toshiro's face became extremely ugly, because he recalled the previous battle. The previous Takaryu was an Arrancar who was not even a 'Ten Blades', and his strength after releasing his power was eaten by him. A lot of hardships, not to mention the sixth Arrancar now! ?

"Don't even think about it!"

In the blink of an eye, Hitsugaya Toshiro made a decisive U-turn and changed his target, rushing towards Ruby who wanted to release her power.

"Swastika—Daigurren Hyōrinmaru!"

Along with the roaring sound, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped, and ice condensed into shadow-like traces in mid-air.

Hitsugaya Toshiro's figure seemed to be transformed into an ice dragon, and the Zanpakutō in his hand was stabbing towards Ruby.

But even though he was so decisive, he was still a step too slow.

"Hang him... Tsutama!"

Almost in an instant, Ruby completed the 'Return to the Blade'. After liberation, the bone mask that she originally wore on the side of her head like a hair ornament enlarged and was worn on the center of her head like a forehead protector. A sudden growth appeared on her back. Eight tentacles were waving wantonly.

call--

The sound of breaking through the air came.

"!!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro's eyes narrowed slightly.

The sound was a sonic boom produced by his hand cutting through the air, and his instinct told him not to resist.

As a result, the stabbing blade was forced to defend, and the ice wings behind him quickly retracted into a defensive posture.

Seeing that Toshiro Hitsugaya, who was about to attack, suddenly stopped defending, Ruby couldn't help but laugh at the boy in front of her, "What's wrong? Is this the only level of strength you have after gaining swastika? You're worthy of the title like this." As 'captain'?"

"Click——"

Ice shards flew all over the sky under the violent blows.

Just under the fierce attack of a tentacle, Hitsugaya Toshiro's figure guarded by ice wings and blades swayed in the air like a ball being shot away, and he was able to stabilize after retreating for a distance.

Fortunately, the attack was completely blocked and he was unscathed.

But this doesn't seem to be good news, because Ruby's attack just now was just a random blow after releasing her power.

"Hahahahaha——"

Sure enough, sarcastic laughter rang out, and Ruby looked at the embarrassed Hitsugaya Toshiro from a distance, "Did you block it? It's pretty good that you can block my attack, even though it was just a light blow~ It should be said that it is worthy of being said. A captain-level person? But...if the attack just now was strengthened eight times, could you still block it?"

As she spoke, Ruby waved the eight tentacles behind her that looked numb.

"What did you say?"

Not only Hitsugaya Toshiro, but also the expressions of several Shinigami present became extremely ferocious.

The ability of the Arrancar in front of them seemed to be simpler, cruder, and more terrifying than they imagined.

Quantity sometimes does not represent strength, but this Arrancar seems to happen to be the type where the number of tentacles is directly proportional to the strength.

One is twice as powerful, eight is eight times as powerful! ? Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils suddenly shrank, because at this moment the eight tentacles behind Ruby were extending at an unavoidable speed and stabbing him.

Click——

There was a shattering sound.

"team leader!"

Matsumoto Rangiku and others, who were too late to provide support, could only watch as Hitsugaya Toshiro was hit by eight thick tentacles.

The remains of the Ice Wings were scattered in the diffuse ice fog, and a figure dripping with blood seemed to be unable to stay in mid-air and fell straight towards the ground.

"Haha... don't worry, you guys will go to accompany him soon."

Ruby chuckled and looked at the other three people, "Didn't I tell you before? I am enough to deal with the four of you."

············

puff--

The dark spiritual pressure passed by, bringing up the blooming blood.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The sound of violent breathing came, and after the dark spiritual pressure completely dissipated, a wolf figure appeared in the air.

Grimmjow was breathing heavily, but with a crazy smile on his face. He held the chipped blade in his hand and stared at the young man not far away: "This power... shouldn't be that of the God of Death, right? You You bastard! What the hell have you been practicing in the past month?"

"call--"

What responded to him was a sound breaking through the air, and another jet-black sword pressure whizzing towards him.

Grimmjow's eyes and pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly raised the blade in his hand to block.

The power of this slash seemed to be much weaker than before.

Just when he was confused, he realized that this was just a feint.

Kurosaki Ichigo's breath came from behind: "I just said it... I don't have time to explain it to you!"

Before he finished speaking, the dark spiritual pressure once again condensed on Zangetsu's blade, and there was another Getsuga Sky Clash from almost zero distance.

"hateful!"

Grimmjow cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

The front and back attacks from the two swords made it impossible for him to dodge, and he could only resist the blows.

boom--

The spiritual pressure hit again, and his figure fell from the sky in a panic. Kurosaki Ichigo did not end the pursuit and followed without hesitation.

Eleven seconds.

Kurosaki Ichigo knew very well that his current state could only last for a short eleven seconds, so he tried his best to launch attacks continuously, hoping to eliminate the enemy in front of him before the time was up.

But the resistance of the guy in front of him was beyond his imagination.

As expected of an Arrancar with a number, even though he was missing an arm, his physical strength was still far beyond his expectation. It was at least one and a half times stronger than the Arrancar whose arm he had cut off before. It was hard to imagine that the previous Tōsen would be How to cut off the opponent's arm so easily.

Kurosaki Ichigo followed the fallen Grimmjow in pursuit. The dark spiritual pressure above Zangetsu in his hand condensed again. This blow would probably end the battle.

But this time it doesn't seem to be so easy to hit.

"Drink!"

There was a loud shout, and the falling Grimmjow threw the blade in his hand in the direction of Kurosaki Ichigo.

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned slightly and deflected the blade, but the next moment he realized something was wrong.

The flying blade attracted his attention, but such a weak blade could not hurt him at all, and the real attack came next moment.

False flash.

The blade whirled in the sky, and the spiritual power condensed in Grimmjow's freed palm exploded, forming a beam of light that shot straight towards Kurosaki Ichigo above.

"hateful!"

Zangetsu gathered spiritual power and was overwhelmed by the false flash before he could strike out. Kurosaki Ichigo had no time to dodge and could only resist the impact of the false flash with his Zanpakutō.

Buzz——

The blade flying in the sky stopped rotating and returned to the master's hand again.

Ring.

With a bloodthirsty smile on his face, Grimmjow arrived behind Ichigo Kurosaki in an instant with steps that were difficult to react to.

clang--

The sound of swords fighting sounded the next moment.

"Tsk."

Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo had no time to react and turned around to block his attack, Grimmjow's face was full of displeasure.

The broken arm had a great impact on him. If he hadn't lost that part of his strength, this kid would have been chopped into pieces by himself.

"It's over, Grimmjow!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the figure in front of him with a roar, and the dark spiritual power once again appeared on the blade that was resisting the opponent's attack.

It works!

If the Crescent Moon Chong hits again at such a close range, it will definitely eliminate the guy in front of him.

At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo believed this very much. It was not that he was arrogant, but that in his virtual state, he was indeed much stronger than Grimmjow who had lost his arm. This could be seen from the brief confrontation just now. .

Grimmjow had been hit by the Crescent Moon Celestial Strike several times and was covered in wounds, but he was completely unscathed. He was even able to block the opponent's slashes from behind before striking first.

But just before Kurosaki Ichigo was happy, an unknown voice sounded.

"Click——"

The sound of breaking...the time is up.

"Ah."

As the mask shattered, there was no longer a barrier between the two faces.

"My... mask..."

In the gap between the fragments, Kurosaki Ichigo saw a face with a ferocious smile.

Grimmjow smiled, because the look on Kurosaki Ichigo's face at this moment made him laugh, "Why aren't you arrogant? Bastard! You are the one who will die!"

puff--

Blood spurted out from his chest, and a hideous wound appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo's chest.

Both figures seemed to have no energy left to stay in the air, falling straight down.

But the fall did not prevent them from fighting for their lives.

Dang Dang Dang——

The sound of blacksmithing continued.

Grimmjow laughed wildly and kept swinging his sword, "What's wrong? Death! Where did your momentum go? It seems that the state just now cost you a lot of energy!? Once the mask disappears, you will immediately start to lose strength. !”

"Stop being so verbose!"

"You're dead, God of Death! Although I was seriously injured, in the end you... still can't beat me!"

············

boom--

The waving tentacles formed a spherical field, completely preventing Rangiku Matsumoto, Yumichika Ayasegawa and Ikkaku Madarame from approaching Ruby.

They could only be passively played by each other, and they looked bruised and bruised at the moment.

"What, there's no pressure at all! Are you really the chief officers of the Gotei 13? It's... so boring."

"Yeah...it's really boring."

Yami, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, yawned boredly, "They all ran to deal with Ruby alone. I can't run around like Grimmjow in this mission. It's so boring~ "

He was complaining and looking around, as if expecting new fun to come to him.

But unfortunately, Wanda Wise was the only one beside her, chasing the dragonflies flying in the sky like a childish child.

"Heh... It seems you are quite boring, you are new here..."

Click——

The dragonfly was held in Wanda Wise's hand, and under its strong grip, its fragile body was shattered almost instantly.

Just like the three Shinigami currently bound by Ruby's tentacles.

"Yumichi! Matsumoto!"

Seeing the two people tightly entangled by the tentacles, Madarame roared and wanted to help, but in fact he was too busy taking care of himself now.

The eight tentacles of the Arrancar in front of them almost had the power to completely suppress them. Facing the siege of the eight tentacles made them feel like they were facing a trick of eight enemies stronger than themselves.

Crunch——

The tentacles wrapped around Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly contracted, and the sound of bone beating continued to sound.

"Ah, let me tell you, eldest sister... your figure is really great~"

Ruby smiled teasingly and pulled the controlled Matsumoto Rangiku in front of her with her tentacles, "I'd be jealous if she's so sexy."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her other free tentacle and came to Matsumoto Rangiku.

bass--

The end of the tentacle began to deform, and countless sharp iron thorns instantly stretched out, and began to approach Matsumoto Rangiku.

"Why don't you just let me... make a few more holes in you?"

After the words fell, countless iron thorns began to stretch and cover Matsumoto Rangiku's bound body.

Iron Maiden.

"!"

Matsumoto Rangiku struggled hard to break free, but unfortunately, the power of the Arrancar in front of her was beyond her ability to compete.

They were obviously completely defeated when facing the sixth-ranked Arrancar. The captain was shot down without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the three of them were more like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, completely unable to fight back.

Facing the sharp thorns stabbing towards him, Matsumoto Rangiku must look solemn.

There was no doubt that she would be dug into a hornet's nest by these spikes.

puff--

At the critical moment of life or death, a scarlet spiritual pressure slash instantly cut off the stinging tentacles.

Then there were several more flashes of sword light, and the tentacles restraining the three people were dismembered almost at the same time.

"Oops... luckily I caught up."

A slightly embarrassed laugh came slowly at this time, and Urahara Kisuke, who was holding Benihime in his hand, was pacing in the void with his hat on his head.

"It was really dangerous just now."

"Um?"

Ruby frowned slightly as she looked at her severed tentacles. Although new ones quickly grew again where they were cut off, being cut off so easily still made her look a little displeased, " who are you?"

"Ah~ I'm sorry. Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet..."

The smile on Urahara Kisuke's face gradually faded, "Urahara Kisuke... is just the owner of Urahara Shoten, an inconspicuous grocery store... and also works part-time as the caregiver of these little guys. It's very hard... So... …Can you please cooperate with me on where to go and where to go?”

As he spoke, he raised Hong Ji in his hand expressionlessly.

"Huh? Let us go? Are you dreaming?"

The expression on Ruby's face became even more upset.

"No...it's just the rules of the game..."

Urahara Kisuke said something that no one could understand, and gently waved the Zanpakuto in his hand, "Well~ Guys like you who don't even know that you are an NPC... shouldn't understand it, right? ?”
