Chapter 799 VS Freya part 2
Arc of golden lights created sharp whistles as they passed through Kisuke's former position with some of them hitting the ground and disappearing after creating crevices of unknown depths, 'A very simple yet very effective attack. Without activating Hierro, I would be in pieces after a few hundred of those hit me even if my basic resistances were boosted. Though being torn into many parts isn't really a big deal for the current me.'
While whizzing through the golden blades, Kisuke looked back at Freya who's silently chasing after him, and thought, 'Still, I can't really prevent the activation of her Magic because she's using an entirely different system of Magic. They look like Elven Magic, but none of my knowledge about it does help. Even if I tried, I would just fall for the traps within those Magic Circles.'
Ability-wise, Deities, including those from the previous world, average around Captain-level while wielding their Bankai. Not to mention the Leader-class that is much stronger than normal Deities.
However, versatility-wise, the two worlds are actually far ahead of Seireitei due to how Magic was much more flexible than Reiryoku. And because Seireitei's path of development centered around martial prowess led by stubborn and old school court, the technological advantages couldn't even be compared, 'And that development was further strangled by the ban on any space manipulation related studies. In fact, if I hadn't established the Research and Development Institute, they would probably still be stuck on swinging their swords, blindly chasing after Hollows from their paths of destruction, and sending messages through birds or errands.'
Of course, this doesn't mean Kisuke was discounting Seireitei's actual development. If it's martial prowess, he's confident that they would be able to take on any faction on both worlds in a straight fight without any problems.
'Now I really wonder what happened after Yoruichi and I 'died' over there. Since Aizen was around, I'm confident that they'll be able to deal with Ywach's 'eyes', but as for actually defeating him, I'm not so sure. Does that world still exist? If it does, I really need to start working on returning and hope that they haven't permanently killed the boss of Quincies.'
Kisuke's quick recollections were cut short when he reached the center of Lolog Lake. He wanted to take this fight on the open sea, but the rage of the barrier won't allow that, 'But this place should be large enough.' Kisuke thought while dodging the remaining golden blades with ease.
Seeing that it's not effective in the slightest, the newly arrived Freya stopped the futile effort and switched her strategy. Raising her left hand, a gigantic purple Magic Circle manifested on top of them. The Magic Circle was so large that it almost encompassed the whole lake known for its size.
Kisuke immediately looked up and tried to analyze the Magic. However, just like from before, it only resembles the Elven Magic a little bit. Still, he was able to get something from it after judging the flow of Magic Power, 'Field type Magic, huh?'
As he expected, the air within the Magic Circle became heavier and something invisible started invading and eroding him starting from his skin. He then looked down and saw the lake become still and turned dark purple with dead fishes beginning to float up, 'Curse Magic? No... This is more akin to Death Magic.'
All of a sudden, Freya spoke, "I should have already been sent back to Heaven... Is this your doing? I'll make sure you regret it." Contrary to her always sultry and passionate way of speaking, her voice right now was as cold as permanent ice just as her entire demeanor.
Freya was genuinely regretting the fact that she ever got involved with him. And now that she knows what sort of being Kisuke really is, she couldn't help but blame herself for sending her own children to a brutal demise, 'So this is fury... I'm not thankful at all...'
Kisuke didn't say anything back and just released his Shikai. Swinging Benihime upwards, Kisuke launched a wide crimson arc towards the Magic Circle. However, the arc only went through and disturbed the circle before the latter completely repaired itself without even interrupting the effects of the Magic, 'Of course it wouldn't be that easy. But it's worth the try, I guess?'
Instantly after, Kisuke felt a threat to his position and hastily used Flash Step. When he stopped ten meters away from his former position, he saw it was skewered by 9 golden rods. Within those rods, Kisuke could see the faint outline of a feather. But he wasn't able to think more about it as another threat loomed and he had to dodge it.
After three subsequent attacks, Kisuke finally refused to dodge and used Hierro to boost his defense. He felt a powerful Teleportation Magic trying to make its influence inside his body but it was naturally rejected. Since this failed, the golden rods instead teleported just a few inches outside of his body and slammed at him.
If it was another person, they would be already impaled by the golden rods but with defensive Hollow skill that was already on par as Aizen's, the rods were just crushed without damaging him in any way. Though the reason why tanked the attack is not that he got tired of dodging but because he felt that Freya already predicted where he would stop.
Freya audibly clicked her tongue in annoyance when she saw Kisuke virtually unscathed and just his attire full of holes, "You aren't a Deity so what are you? A monster from the Dungeon?"
"Regardless of my answer, you still won't stop until you can kill me, won't you?", replied Kisuke while taking off his haori and upper part of his kosode, revealing his well-shaped and chiseled upper body.
Pointing her right palm at him, Freya smirked, "Don't worry. I won't just kill you, but slowly take you apart until you'd wish you're dead."
"That's fine. Nonetheless, please don't expect that I'll be forever passive." Suddenly appearing in front of her, Kisuke mercilessly brought his blade down to her face.
This much was not a surprise attack for Freya and she intended to block it with her cloak. That's where mistakes were made as she severely underestimated the power behind his sword and it was already a bit too late when she realized this.
Without having much choice, Freya turned sideways while flinging her cloak in an attempt to slow it down.
The sword hit the cloak and there was some resistance to it, though it didn't last long. Kisuke's sword continued on its intended path but Freya had shifted her body.
Freya looked down and only then did she see how much she's underestimating him, 'This is getting ridiculous... He parted the lake with a simple swing?'
Thanks to her split-second decision, she was able to get out of harm's way but her beloved cloak was already torn into pieces. Nevertheless, she didn't want to waste the opportunity that was presented to her. Freya extended her hand and formed a knife with it while covering it with highly concentrated Divine Power. She then aimed at his chest, wanting to steal his heart, literally.
Due to how close they are right now, Kisuke didn't have any time to move. Of course, he was already expecting that she would jump for this kind of opening but he didn't care. Before Freya's hand landed, a patch of skin on Kisuke's chest suddenly turned white.
Freya's expectation of seeing blood was shattered as a loud clang was heard upon impact, "What!?"
Editors:
28th00: Lol, gotta try harder than that to carve his heart out! Purely physical attacks are the easiest to defend, block and invalidate afterall.
