Jigen Ishida decisively activated his Ransōtengai. If he continued to drag things out, he would eventually be killed by Katori Sora. It was better to go all out.
While in this state, a Quincy could continue to fight until their body turned to dust. It was the ultimate combat technique, designed for fighting until one's very bones were ground to powder.
As he activated it, a stream of lightning shot towards him from the distance. He tilted his body slightly, trying to dodge, but it still pierced his right chest.
"A shame..." Sora thought. He had wanted to finish him off while he was stationary.
"A formidable move..." Jigen coughed up a mouthful of blood. "But it's far from enough to kill me!"
"Now, feel the power of the Quincy!" he laughed maniacally, pushing his particle absorption to its limit. The surrounding spiritual energy rapidly converged on him.
Highly concentrated particles gathered on his longsword, turning it into a blade of pure light. He swung it, and an arc of condensed energy slashed towards Sora.
Sora again raised his Zanpakutō, lightning flashing between his two fingers as he pinched the blade. He unleashed another stream of lightning to meet the arc of spirit energy.
The moment the two attacks collided, a terrifying shockwave erupted. BOOM—
When the dust settled, Jigen was covered in blood, but thanks to Ransōtengai, he could still fight. Sora was also slightly injured; he hadn't had time to retreat into his shadow to dodge the shockwave.
But with his "Born Berserker" and "Kaidō Self-Healing" abilities, such an injury would not reduce his combat effectiveness.
Sora's Spiritual Pressure surged. The arcs of lightning on his shoulders, back, and Zanpakutō grew even more intense.
Shunkō: Raikiri Form!
Jigen was horrified. He found that Sora's speed had increased yet again! He had thought he could wear him down, but the opponent's new speed completely extinguished that hope. He could no longer keep up and could only cross his arms to protect his vital points, using his Blut Vene to withstand the attack.
But even with his full power focused on defense, he still couldn't block Sora's assault!
Eight flashes of lightning streaked by. Eight wounds burst open on Jigen's body. Even his hands were sliced into several pieces, but Ransōtengai forcibly held them together. He was trapped in a desperate situation.
Jigen could no longer bear it. To live another second was just another moment of humiliation! As a black blade pierced his chest, he used one hand to grab Sora's arm and the other to plunge a syringe filled with concentrated spiritual fluid into his own neck.
"Go to hell with me!"
The next moment, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure fluctuation erupted from his body. —BOOM!!!
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky from the forest next to the river valley.
The medical team, who were evacuating the wounded, heard the massive explosion and felt the ground shake. If Sora hadn't deliberately led the fight away from them, the blast would have caused immense casualties.
"Don't worry about that! Continue evacuating the wounded!" shouted a medic named Kiyonosuke Yamada.
On the other side, Yoruichi also felt the powerful shockwave. She and the three Stealth Force members were all knocked back. When the shockwave dissipated, she saw that the explosion had come from her professor's location.
"Professor!" she cried, rushing towards the blast. When she arrived, she saw that the area had been completely leveled.
Just then, a shadow from one of the remaining rocks rapidly expanded, and Katori Sora slowly rose from within it.
"Professor!" Yoruichi exclaimed. Sora was heavily injured. He had managed to cut off Jigen's arm before the explosion, but he was still caught in a part of the blast.
"Ransōtengai... what a troublesome ability," Sora said. He had not used his "Thunder-Fire Prairie Fire" form because it was too dangerous to use on the battlefield, as it would leave him incapacitated for a time.
"Professor, are you alright!" Yoruichi rushed over to support him.
"It's not a big problem. They're mostly external injuries. I'll heal in a while," Sora said, sitting down on a large rock to recover.
"Professor, this is a secret medicine that can heal spiritual bodies," Yoruichi said, taking a bottle of medicine from the pouch at her waist.
"Thank you," Sora said, not refusing her kindness and letting her apply the medicine to his body.
On the other side, the Stealth Force members finished off the other two injured Quincy. They came over and, after confirming Sora was alright, went to stand guard near the medical team.
