Chapter 24: Transform

Apacci walked out of her chamber within the cave, a playful glint in her eyes as she prodded Mila Rose's butt with her horn. “Stop being so narcissistic, Bitch.”

“Ouch. Stop poking my ass, you little slut.”

Apacci walked towards Kazuya and affectionately rubbed her head against his leg. “You’re safe.”

“Of course.” He patted her head tenderly. “Someone is unafraid of showing love today.”

“Bastard came to take you and Harribel-sama away from us. He got what he deserved.”

Apacci had no remorse for anyone who came to harm her or anyone close to her. She could be more ruthless than him in some aspects.

"Well done, Kazuya and Mila Rose," Sung-Sun chimed in as she slinked out of her hiding place. "I propose we move before Baraggan dispatches someone to investigate the missing Espada."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

“Before that.” Kazuya turned to Mila Rose. “Share your experience, Rose. It’ll be helpful since everyone here wants to become an Arrancar. Am I right?”

“Hell yeah! I promised you I’ll be the strongest Arrancar.”

“It doesn’t hurt to gain more power in Hueco Mundo... especially after we made enemies with the Godking.”

Apacci and Sung-Sun exchanged determined glances, their ambitions to attain the Arrancar form fueled by their unique yet intertwined desires.

She couldn’t stop them from walking the dangerous path since she herself wished to walk upon it and rise to the ranks of Arrancar.

“I’ll be next,” Apacci declared, her eyes filled with determination. “Should I do it now?”

Kazuya cupped Apacci’s deer head, gently rubbing her ears with his thumb. “Wait for some time.”

“Okay...” Apacci agreed, her voice a mixture of anticipation and understanding. “Don’t delay it for too long. I need to become strong... It hurts to watch everyone fight without feeling like useless trash.”

Sung-Sun rested her head on his shoulder. “I agree with her sentiment. I do not want to stand by when Baraggan sends more of them after us.”

Kazuya smiled, sensing their determination ignited by Mila Rose's transformation. "Don't worry. I won't keep you waiting for long."

He turned to Harribel and cleared his throat. "I have something important to say. I do have an ability that none of you know, apart from the ability Sung-Sun mentioned."

It was the perfect moment to reveal one of his crucial secrets. His Hollow companions had earned his trust.

Kazuya summoned the System menu and opened the race editor. Before their eyes, he selected his desired race. A hole materialized in the center of his chest, an eerie abyss reminiscent of a Hollow's Hole. From the depths of this void, azure liquid cascaded before the said liquid caught fire. Molten blue flames roared to life, a blue fiery tempest encasing him.

A round, glassy cocoon spun itself around him. Moments passed as the flames underwent a mesmerizing transformation, shifting into a lighter shade of violet.

All four women held their breaths, the anticipation tightening their chests, as they wondered what kind of metamorphosis Kazuya was undergoing and what the outcome would be.

The cocoon cracked, sending shards of glassy fragments into the air. The flames retreated into his chest as if they were a living entity, a sentient force returning to its origin.
