Chapter 118 – Meido Zangetsuha
"Kurome..."
Among the four, the only one who paid attention to the girl was Kirito.
Previously, Kurome had been providing support, so Kirito had not focused on her, instead using his healing abilities on the more severely injured Roger and Shanks.
But he never expected that the support, Kurome, with the heart of a carry player, would recklessly attack after the three of them were blown away. And then the match was concluded.
"Huff..."
Taking a deep breath, Kirito took a stance.
"Twin Blade Ultimate Technique - Solar Eclipse!"
In an instant, Kirito unleashed twenty-seven consecutive strikes. The twenty-seven powerful slashes merged into a black sun, rapidly assaulting Ailin.
Swish!
Facing Kirito's strongest ultimate move, Ailin unleashed a hundred-meter slash, but this strike was instantly shattered upon hitting the black sun, its explosive shockwave unable to slow the black sun's advance.
"Oh? Not bad."
Sensing the power of this sword technique, Ailin released his Zanpakuto for the first time in the battle against them.
"Bankai - Meido Tessaiga!"
Instantly, Ailin's Zanpakuto grew massive, its blade transforming into a black spatial force taking on an iridescent sword form.
Then, Ailin swung the Meido Tessaiga towards the incoming black sun.
"Meido - Zangetsu Slash!"
A crescent-shaped spatial blade flew out, suddenly expanding upon hitting Kirito's Solar Eclipse into a ten-meter diameter circular space that completely absorbed the Solar Eclipse before dissipating.
"Hm?"
"What kind of ability is that? By the look of the Zanpakuto, it's Tessaiga, no doubt. But when did Tessaiga gain such immense power?" Kirito was astonished.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
Everyone present in Ailin's realm was basically familiar with each other's abilities. But Kirito had never known that Tessaiga possessed spatial powers.
No...
Recalling that they had seized the King's Seal this time, Kirito quickly realized that this newfound power of Tessaiga must have emerged in the past few days.
"Indeed, a power worthy of Ailin's immense efforts to obtain... But to expect us to surrender just like that is impossible!"
"Twin Blade - Solar Eclipse!"
This time, Kirito transformed directly into a massive black sun carrying destructive might as he bore down on Ailin.
"Meido Zangetsuha!"
This time, instead of a crescent moon, Ailin unleashed a circular Meido- the full moon of the underworld!
This circular Meido rapidly flew towards Kirito, forming a cylindrical spatial path that absorbed everything in its trajectory.
Kirito, embodying the black sun, could not escape its pull either. When this cylindrical Meido dissipated, everything in front seemed to cease existing, all things rendered void.
Ailin then swung out a Remnant Moon Slash towards the charging Roger and Shanks.
Facing this slash less than two meters long, Roger and Shanks were extremely cautious. After all, they had just witnessed Kirito devoured by that circular Meido.
"Hmph, being defeated by Tessaiga in Ailin's hands, I accept it wholeheartedly. But what are you? Daring to challenge me?"
"Prison Dragon Break!"
A purple draconic miasma accompanied by a raging tornado engulfed the charging Kensei...
"Tessaiga..."
Setsuna gritted his teeth. After returning to Ailin, he would probably be mocked endlessly by Tessaiga for having his Bankai broken. Yet this was reality, and he could not refute it.
As the Prison Dragon Break dissipated, Kensei emerged covered in blood, barely standing. But he still staggered forward, instantly appearing before Setsuna and grabbing his waist with one arm.
"I've got you now!"
Kensei's face twisted into a ghastly smile as he pressed the tiger claws of his other fist against Setsuna's stomach.
Kensei had expended his remaining strength. His only hope now was the explosive force concentrated in his tiger claws by his Bankai.
Bang bang bang...
This explosive force surged madly from Kensei's tiger claws into Setsuna's abdomen, causing his expression to contort.
"Let go, you madman! Let go!"
Even as he spoke, Setsuna pummeled Kensei's back with his free hand, each blow making Kensei cough up blood. But this only made Kensei tighten his grip on Setsuna, channeling the last of his strength.
"Damn you!"
"Go to hell!"
Seeing Kensei only grow more tenacious under his attacks, Setsuna raised his Zanpakuto high to stab down at him.
"Shick..."
The sharp blade pierced Kensei's chest, but the blood-soaked Kensei only smiled. For he had already unleashed his full explosive power into Setsuna's body.
Bang!
"Ahhhhh..."
The massive explosive force detonated continuously within Setsuna, inflicting catastrophic damage. The shockwave even blew Kensei away.
Watching Setsuna being ravaged by the successive blasts, Kensei slowly closed his eyes. "Mashiro, I've avenged you..."
Swish!
Ailin's figure appeared between Kensei and the battered Setsuna. Seeing Setsuna badly injured by the explosive force, Ailin gained newfound respect for Kensei.
Though Kensei's victory came from fortunate timing after Ailin devoured Setsuna's Bankai, seizing that slim chance to turn the tides was still admirable.
After Kensei's explosive force was spent, the gravely wounded Setsuna could no longer maintain his form, leaving only a slightly broken Zanpakuto behind.
With a thought, the Zanpakuto on the ground dispersed into blue spiritual particles, having been reclaimed by Ailin's Unlimited Blade Works.
This operation to seize the King's Seal had achieved complete success.
Setsuna was severely injured but would recover with some rest.
As for recreations like Roger and Shanks that Ailin had forged as weapons, their forms were already recorded in Unlimited Blade Works spatial realm. Ailin only needed to expend some reiatsu to reforge them, not start from scratch.
