Sora knew what the wing of light on that Quincy woman's back meant. She was the one who had removed the "Sanrei Glove"! The spiritual particles in the air seemed to be making a pilgrimage, all converging on her and forming a visible torrent.
Sora quickly glanced at the Quincy's panel.
Tsukisaki Kurosaki
Talent: S
Spiritual Pressure: ??? (Letzt Stil Form)
Particle Control: ??? (Letzt Stil Form)
Affinity Level: Hostile
The woman's basic data was now undetectable. Her strength was constantly changing, entirely dependent on the density of the surrounding spiritual particles. And this Quincy base was a Jūreichi, with a particle density no less than the Soul Society's. Her power had reached a truly terrifying level.
Vice-Captain Asada bravely stepped forward. "Acting Vice-Captain Katori, take the Captain and retreat!"
Sora pulled him back. "Don't go to your death! She doesn't seem to be targeting us!" The woman's intense spiritual fluctuations were interfering with Asada's perception, but Sora, who had spread his shadow-eyes across the battlefield, could see she was being pursued by Kenpachi Kuruyashiki.
"She's flying right this way! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!" Asada said anxiously.
"The Captain's injuries are too severe to be moved!" Sora explained. "I can sense Captain Kuruyashiki's Spiritual Pressure. He's in hot pursuit of her."
"Captain Kuruyashiki is here too?" Asada said, relieved as he too finally sensed the other Captain's presence. "I'll go and help him stop her!" He wanted revenge for his captain.
Asada used Shunpo and quickly approached the Quincy. He was a master of Kidō and began a rapid incantation. "O ye lord! Mask of flesh and blood, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, await at the distant heavens! Bakudō #81: Dankū!"
A massive wall, dozens of meters high, appeared in the Quincy's path. "Dankū" was one of the strongest defensive Kidō.
The woman, Tsukisaki Kurosaki, stopped before the wall, her expression unchanged. She raised her right hand, and the spiritual particles began to converge on her spirit bow. Even the particles that made up the "Dankū" were no exception!
Asada's face changed drastically. The spiritual particles were being rapidly stripped from the wall. The once-impenetrable barrier was quickly disintegrating and collapsing.
SWISH—
A beam of light flashed. Asada's entire torso was obliterated. His remains fell to the ground. Sora's heart went cold. A vice-captain had been wiped out in a single blow. The power of a Quincy in Letzt Stil was truly terrifying.
However, she couldn't maintain this state for long. After it ended, she would lose her Quincy abilities. That was why she hadn't dared to entangle herself with the powerful Kuruyashiki and was trying to escape.
Asada's "Dankū," while failing to stop her, had provided the necessary delay. SWISH—
Kenpachi Kuruyashiki appeared behind her via Shunpo, his Zanpakutō held high. Tsukisaki barely had time to shield the two small Quincy children with her wing of light before the blade came crashing down. BOOM—
She and the two children were slammed into the river valley below. Kuruyashiki gave chase, but after a moment, he found he could no longer sense her Spiritual Pressure. After a fruitless search, he frowned and decided to return to the main battle upstream.
A long time later, a few bubbles rose to the surface of the river downstream. Tsukisaki emerged, dragging the two unconscious Quincy children to the shore. It was a feat that should have been effortless, but now she had to use all her remaining strength to do it. She had already lost her Quincy powers.
Most critically, there was a terrifying wound on her waist. Her white dress and even the boots on her legs had been stained red with blood. Her life force was rapidly fading.
She forced herself to check on the condition of her younger brother and sister. They were still breathing. The breath she had been holding in finally escaped, and all her strength left her. She collapsed to the ground.
"Cough, cough—" the boy woke up, coughing up the river water he had swallowed. "Sister Tsukisaki!" he cried out in alarm, seeing the terrible wound on her abdomen.
"Quick... wake up... Misaki... cough, cough..." Tsukisaki coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Press on her chest... make her spit out the water..."
"Okay..." the boy scrambled over to his sister and performed first aid. A moment later, the girl also coughed up water. "Cough, cough—" After waking up, she too saw the collapsed Tsukisaki and burst into tears. "Sister Tsukisaki!"
"Don't cry... you'll be discovered... cough, cough..." she said with difficulty. "Follow the river and run... be careful of the Shinigami..."
"No! I won't leave you, Sister Tsukisaki! We'll go together!"
"Cough... don't be foolish... I was hit in a vital spot... I won't survive..." After a while, the boy and girl, at Tsukisaki's urging, finally left.
However, none of them knew that a silent shadow on the ground had taken in everything that had just happened.
SWISH—
The moment the boy and girl left, Sora appeared before the dying Tsukisaki, carrying the unconscious Captain Jikkyō.
The dying woman heard the sound and forced her body to react, her eyes opening. Her pupils had already lost their focus.
"Mr. Shinigami... can you... let those two children go..." she pleaded.
