Animeverse Slayer!

Chapter 281 - 281. 'Will'

Mayuri frowned as he watched the quincy. The feeling he gave him right now was different from before.

He felt danger.

Narrowing his eyes Mayuri cautiously flashed behind Uryuu. The golden sword in his hand stabbed at his spine.

He forgo the idea of capturing him alive. As a cautious person by nature he didn't want to take any chance and decided to go for the kill. A dead specimen is better than nothing.

Uryuu who was finding it hard to stand on his feet raised his spiritual bow. He pulled on it's string and let it loose.

An arrow shot out with incredible speed.

Mayuri dodged it by shifting his body. His sword changed it's direction and slashed at Uryuu's bow wielding arm.

Just when his sword was about to tear through Uryuu's flesh, a sense of danger struck his mind.

Mayuri stopped his attack and flashed away.

From a distance away from the Quincy Mayuri saw what gave him that sense of danger.

A spiritual arrow was flashing around Uryuu. It looked no different from the ones before, but, the feeling it gave off was completely different.

As a scientist Mayuri always looked at phenomena differently. That arrow had the same amount of spiritual power, however it was far dangerous than before.

This was odd and interesting to him.

Uryuu coughed out blood. He was struggling to stay on his feet. However his eyes were bright.

Calming his breath Uryuu raised his spiritual bow again. He drew back the string, a slender arrow pulsing with spiritual energy was formed.

My reason... my conviction...

My will!!

A fierce glow lit up in his eyes. At that moment tremendous amount of spiritual energy spilled out of him and merged with his bow and arrow.

Not good!

Mayuri who was the focus of that arrow felt a tremor in his heart.

He raised his sword and muttered in his heart.

His sword flashed with bright light. A moment later his sword morphed into a huge disgusting creature with the face of a baby. A terrible shrill came out of it's mouth.

The creature opened it's mouth and shot at Uryuu.

Watching the huge creature rushing towards him, Uryuu remained calm. He pulled on the bow harder. More and more spiritual energy merged into the arrow.

This is my 'will'!!

Uryuu roared in his heart as he let go. The arrow hummed and disappeared.

Shhh!!!!

The creature several feet away from him paused. It's body broke into specks of light starting from it's head. In an instant it was reduced to dust.

Mayuri who was standing behind the creature cursed. The arrow was too fast. He couldn't dodge in time.

"Cough... what was that...

Mayuri only managed to speak a few words before he coughed out blood and fainted.

Uryuu staggered. His body was swaying left and right. He glanced back at Chad and Orihime who were being besieged by a large number of shinigamis.

He used the last of his strength and pulled on his spiritual bow. A large number of arrows shot out and pinned the shinigamis to the ground.

"Uryuu!"

Chad broke out of the besiege and reached Uryuu. He grabbed him and yelled.

"Orihime, let's retreat!"

"Alright!"

Orihime nodded and moved back with Chad.

"Was that what that mister said? 'Will'?"

Chad nodded, "It should be."

A light flashed in his eyes as he said so. He clenched his fist involuntarily.

...

At a distance away from the Sokyoku hill.

Ichigo was confronting Byakuya. For a while both of them were evenly matched. That was until Byakuya unleashed his Bankai.

Under the assault of countless sakura blades Ichigo found it hard to move. Not long after he was injured.

"Guess, I can't beat you without using my Bankai."

Byakuya frowned, "Foolish speech."

He didn't believe a human would be able to grasp the final form of a zanpakuto in such a short time.

Ichigo pointed his zanpakuto at him and said, "Bankai!"

Impossible!

Byakuya couldn't believe what was happening.

Ichigo's spiritual energy spiked. Blackish red energy poured out of his body and wrapped around him.

A moment later Ichigo emerged.

His huge zanpakuto had disappeared. In it's place was a long slender sword with a chain hanging from it's hilt.

Tensa Zangetsu!

Byakuya narrowed his eyes. As shocked as he was, he still calmed his emotions and attacked.

Countless sakura blades assaulted Ichigo.

In a split second Byakuya stopped. He looked down and saw a black blade pointed to his throat.

"Keep your eyes open, Kuchiki Byakuya."

Ichigo said and backed away.

Byakuya traced his neck and said, "That was your one chance."

Ichigo replied by pointing his sword at him.

Both of them were ready for another bout.

It was at this moment a fierce aftershock struck them. Searing heat and sharp blades struck them and blasted them away.

Countless petals flew over and protected Byakuya while Ichigo slashed continuously with incredible speed.

When the aftershock was over both of them looked over at the cause of it. Their pupils shrunk when they saw the state of the Sokyoku hill.

A large part of the hill was cleaved off and charred!

And at the sky were two figures standing against each other.

The captain commander is being matched?!

Byakuya couldn't believe what he was seeing. His always calm and cold face couldn't help but show a rare trace of solemness.

Leo was calm as he faced the old shinigami. There was a trace of burn on the corner of his shirt.

"Captain Yamamoto, this won't go anywhere."

As he spoke he looked at the old man's robe. A part of it was torn.

Yamamoto hummed. He didn't speak a word and simply raised his sword.

Shunsui and Jushiro were shocked when they saw the old man raise his sword.

"Oi, that's not funny."

Shunsui said solemnly.

"The old man is going to use it."

Jushiro commented.

Leo could feel a stifling sensation from the old man before him. The spiritual energy he was picking up was rising with incredible momentum.

Don't tell me...

A picture came to his mind. The sense of danger he felt exploded.

Yamamoto softly muttered.

"Bankai...
