Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1231 The Dragons part 2

Icibei forcefully stopped his uncontrolled flight. He ignored what just attacked him and hurriedly turned to Kisuke who was about to cross the boundary of the dimension. He took his brush and was about to paint over the hole in the dimension. Despite their current distance, his 'ink' is still capable of 'blackening' out what he didn't want to exist.

However, he had to stop when he suddenly felt a hand reaching out to him. With a single glance, Ichibei immediately felt threatened and used the handle of his brush to block the incoming hand.

The hand landed on his brush and in an instant, Ichibei felt like a several tonnes hammer struck him, "!? What?"

The foothold he created with his Reiatsu was instantly broken and he was sent flying once again.

This time, Ichibei took his time to reorient himself while thinking, 'Even if by chance he could go to the Royal Palace, he still won't reach the lynchpin.' After reassuring himself and recalling the current Royal Palace defense, Ichibei finally took a good look at his assailants, "Hooh... Aren't you the twins that couldn't call their Zanpakutos? I certainly didn't think you'd be in on it too."

The bigger question, however, was how they were able to exert that much strength from their tiny bodies. Ichibei certainly didn't receive any report of them having superhuman strength, 'And it wasn't just some superhuman strength. It was enough to instantly kill a normal fighter.'

"Who are you two?" Ichibei asked with a chilled expression.

Ophis slowly floated on Lilith's side and answered with incredible dignity followed by the latter, "Ophis." "Lilith."

Ichibei furrowed his brows and was shocked. This is not the first time he heard their names but this time, it felt like they were introducing themselves, not as Shinigamis.

"I guess the next question is what are you?" If not for the way they saddle their swords, Ophis on the left and Lilith on the right, there's almost no way to distinguish the difference between the two, 'No... There's an obvious difference. This 'Ophis' seems to have a larger pressure.'

Ophis and Lilith looked at each other before answering the obvious simultaneously, "Shinigami."

Ichibei was further intrigued. He has a bit of ability to tell apart truth and lies and he can say with confidence that they are telling the truth, 'Where is this weird feeling coming from?'

He wanted to know more about them because, in his eyes, they are in the same category as Kisuke's current Zanpakuto, totally unknown to him despite seeing them with his own eyes. However, Ichibei didn't have that luxury because he knew the consequences of underestimating Kisuke, 'I'm confident that she'll be able to stop him and I'm also pretty sure that Urahara Kisuke is not after the destruction of balance so he won't easily hurt the lynchpin in the event he could go through her... But what does he want exactly?'

Any uncertainty is an unknown danger and something he has to eliminate. With that in mind, Ichibei clasped his hands together and raised his voice, "Ura Hadou: Ninodou - Tachikoma (Hidden Way of Destruction: Second Path - Standstill)."

While hugging her 'sister', Ophis tried conjuring her mass of energy but found it very hard to gather even a tiny bit of it. When that didn't work, Ophis tried swinging her arm towards the incoming foot.

"It's useless." Ichibei grinned while watching them being stepped on by him and crashed down to the ground with a large explosion, "Just be glad that a grave could be made for the two of you."

As Ichibei couldn't feel their presence anymore, he turned towards the others who were still fighting and thought, 'I wasted too much time.'

However, as if he were cursed by something, the moment he had any intention of leaving Hell, he would be stopped.

Ichibei couldn't smile anymore when he saw a young lady covered in ink slowly float up to his level, "You really are a tenacious one. How did you even survive? Hmmm...?" The young lady's aura was way weaker than before and Ichibei was sure that he's currently talking to Ophis right now. However, there are two Zanpakutos on her side, "What? You weren't able to save your twin but you still saved her Zanpakuto? That's actually quite admirable."

"Anyhow, your tenacity is actually annoying me now."

"Annoying?" Ophis asked with a blank expression.

Ichibei was about to nod but felt something out of place.

And before he could realize what was wrong, a giant jet-black hand suddenly appeared in front of him, "!?"

Ichibei tried blocking it but the moment the black hand touched him, his whole body instantly disintegrated, reducing him to dust.

"You are the annoying fly." Ophis slightly lifted her head. And while watching Ichibei regenerate himself from nothing, she added, "I, Ophis, am back."

At the same time, the black and white ink on her body slid off her body, revealing Ophis in her black Gothic Lolita fashion, "You shall taste my unending wrath."

Soon, an aura that calls for the end of the world drowned the entire dimension.
