The world was bathed in silver-white.
Yamabuki looked bewildered.
What's going on? Wasn't I just fighting the Skeleton Emperor in Las Noches? How did I suddenly end up in this ghostly place? I wasn't killed by the Skeleton Emperor, was I? I'm still so young! I don't want to die yet! I'm clearly a Child of Destiny!
"Idiot! You're not dead yet, I dragged you in here!"
A very pleasant female voice came from above him.
Yamabuki looked up to see his Sword Spirit sitting on that large cube, glaring down at him.
You scared me to death! So I was pulled into my inner world; I thought I was already dead!
"We meet again! Your skirt is still so short! Aren't you afraid of flashing?" Yamabuki said in a very annoying tone, while also looking down into the absolute domain.
The Sword Spirit kicked him directly in the head!
This familiar feeling!
Not bad, not bad!
"You're almost beaten to death, and you still have the heart to joke around? How about I let you out now and see if you can block the Skeleton Emperor's axe!" The Sword Spirit said with an arrogant look.
Yamabuki said with a grin: "I knew you'd have a way.
Is it going to be like last time, where you transform and fight for me?"
"Fight for your head! The time is just about right, and your spiritual pressure has just reached Captain-level; it's time to tell you my true name." The Sword Spirit said with an arrogant look: "I'm not doing this because I'm worried about you!"
"I understand, I understand!"
"But before that, I still have a small test for you.
Things that come too easily won't be cherished, aren't men just such creatures?" The Sword Spirit looked arrogant.
As expected, it's time for the much-anticipated fighting-myself segment!
"Since you put it that way… sneak attack!" Yamabuki immediately used Sonido to appear behind the Sword Spirit, but the Sword Spirit seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, easily blocking his sneak attack.
"Everything you know, I know.
Little tricks are useless! Let's have an honest fight, and conquer me with your true strength." The Sword Spirit said with an arrogant look.
"By the way, what happens if I lose?" Yamabuki asked.
The Sword Spirit's delicate cheeks held a hint of eeriness: "If you lose, our positions will swap.
King and horse, is there a big difference?"
A sense of crisis washed over him!
A voice in Yamabuki's heart told him that what the Sword Spirit said was not false; if he lost this battle, he might really have his body taken away.
The external threat hasn't been resolved, and now there's an internal problem!
"Come on! I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
This battle will determine our dominant positions." The smile on the Sword Spirit's face turned from arrogant to manic, and her silver spiritual pressure erupted, a terrifying oppressive feeling rushing over him!
Yamabuki took a deep breath, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and quietly looked at the girl before him.
The hardest enemy to defeat in this world is oneself.
It seems there's no escaping this time!
"Flash Flower!"
"Flash Flower!"
The two simultaneously activated Shunpo, using the same dual swords.
With a loud bang in the silver-white space, Yamabuki realized that he was actually weaker than a girl in terms of strength!
"Hadō #88, Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!" Yamabuki retaliated with his most frequently used Kidō.
"Bakudō #81, Dankū!" The Sword Spirit calmly unleashed her Kidō in response.
Spiritual pressure clashed!
Due to the changes in the surrounding space caused by their battle, the initial silver-white turned blood-red!
"Cero!" Yamabuki condensed a silver Cero at his fingertips and instantly fired it!
"Heilig Pfeil!" The Sword Spirit directly used the Quincy ability.
"That's not right! Aren't you the Sword Spirit of a Zanpakutō? Theoretically, you should only be able to use abilities corresponding to a Zanpakutō.
Why can you use Quincy power? This doesn't make sense!" Yamabuki looked surprised.
"When did I say I could only use Shinigami powers?" The Sword Spirit chuckled, gently wiping her hand across her face, and a Hollow mask appeared on her face.
Hollowfication!
Instantly, her spiritual pressure, speed, and destructive power were all comprehensively enhanced!
Yamabuki Shunpoed into mid-air, extending his hand to create five Reishi Arrows, firing them simultaneously!
The Sword Spirit extended her left hand, condensing a Cero.
However, her Cero was not silver-white, but half-red and half-white, two completely different spiritual pressures twisting and intertwining, forming a very bizarre and chaotic power!
"Cero!"
The red and white twisted Cero instantly engulfed half the space, and the five Reishi Arrows were also shattered!
"This is ridiculous! Your spiritual pressure should be the same as mine, so why can't I use your skills?" Yamabuki shouted.
Theoretically, the skills learned by both sides should be identical, but the opponent clearly knew things he didn't!
This is impossible!
It's like two Yasuo players on a lane, and one Yasuo suddenly casts Demacian Justice! That's just outrageous!
"What nonsense are you talking about? These are all your abilities! You just aren't aware of them yet! If you don't have any more trump cards, I'm sorry! This body is mine!" The Sword Spirit smiled charmingly.
"To hell with you!" Yamabuki's body rapidly absorbed reishi.
If the Sword Spirit could achieve Hollowfication, he should be able to as well, right?
He gently wiped his hand across his face, and a white, bony mask slowly appeared on his face.
At the same time, the spiritual pressure within him also became turbulent.
But to defeat the girl in front of him, he had to develop new abilities on the spot!
The Sword Spirit didn't seem to be in a hurry to end the battle; instead, she watched with interest from the side.
"Since I've gained Quincy power, that means I can also reach that form, right!" Yamabuki's face beneath the mask was twisted and manic; Hollowfication not only affected his spiritual pressure but also his personality!
He opened his arms, frantically devouring reishi.
Previously, there was an upper limit to his reishi absorption; he couldn't exceed his total spiritual pressure.
But what if… the upper limit of the reishi he absorbed far exceeded his spiritual pressure?
Yamabuki had a small conjecture in his heart.
Anyway, this was his inner world; he wouldn't die no matter what he did! At worst, his body would be taken, and he'd figure out a way to get it back!
The Sword Spirit's delicate brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly guessed what Yamabuki intended to do.
Instead of stopping him, she watched with keen interest!
A massive amount of reishi condensed.
Yamabuki felt his body was about to burst, but he didn't stop, continuing to frantically absorb reishi.
Finally!
His body seemed unable to bear it any longer; two shocking wounds split open on his shoulder blades, but what spurted from the wounds was not blood, but two wings of light!
At that moment, Yamabuki felt as if he had achieved transcendence!
His spiritual pressure, strength, reactions, and control over reishi all reached a new height!
"Finally, a new form unlocked!" Yamabuki tightly gripped the Zanpakutō in his hand: "Let's give this new form a name.
How about… Vollständig."
