Chapter 1297 Escape?

Chapter 1297 Escape?

Ichibei made a shocked expression when he saw Kisuke transform once again and hurriedly put both of his hands in front of him.

The next instant, an image of yin-yang appeared, covering his body, "Ura Bakudou! The Great Way!"

It was another unknown Kidou that Ichibei pulled out. Nevertheless, Kisuke couldn't care less. His only goal is to cut him down. While pulling Benihime, he arrived in front of Ichibei. Kisuke raised his blade and gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to do anything fanciful, just a simple single downward slash with all of his remaining strength.

Ichibei could see Kisuke's transformed body creaking and cracking from the pressure alone.

The yin-yang barrier in front of him shined brightly to an almost blinding degree, however, Kisuke ignored this and moved forward, bringing forth his, hopefully, last strike.

His darkened blade instantly made contact with the barrier and Kisuke immediately figured out what exactly it did as little pieces of body were being blown away with the force of his sword being reflected back to him. Still, he pushed forward. Thanks to the simplicity of his strike, even most of the force being reflected back is being cut and deflected away from him.

A quarter of a second after the strike connected, a small crack appeared on the barrier. A fifth of a second later, Kisuke's blade went through the crack. Then an eighth of a second more, Kisuke's strike went through the barrier, along with its owner, bisecting them into two equal parts.

The yin-yang barrier bursts and Ichibei's body started drifting away from each other.

But instead of despair, both of Ichibei's half faces twisted into gruesome smiles, "!?"

Kisuke hurriedly retreated, further pushing his body to its limits. However, he couldn't get away.

Ichibei's bisected body liquified and turned into a pool of black ink before it shot out, not towards Kisuke, but to his beloved blade, merging with it.

Kisuke tried swinging his blade in an attempt to flush away the ink but the blade absorbed it like a dry sponge. The next instant, the ink was gone and only Ichibei's resounding voice was left behind, [Until we meet again, Urahara Kisuke.]

That cold message almost sent Kisuke into a downward spiral but he managed to keep himself calm and closed his eyes. While Ichibei seems to be on the verge of escaping, he still trusts Benihime.

Beside Kisuke, Tiamat was standing while looking up, "You two are truly cut from the same cloth."

"I'll take that as a compliment this time." Kisuke smiled before turning around, "Let's go and finish things up on this side."

Before Kisuke could leave, Tiamat asked him, "Are you confident that she'll be able to do it?"

"Of course. After all, this ability to ink things is not really compatible with her."

"Hmmm? What do you mean?"

On a relatively small planet that's almost covered with lush forests of towering trees with ivory white trunks and branches and golden leaves, a young lady with white hair and green eyes is standing in front of people with similar features as hers.

They are obviously family members but a happy familial atmosphere couldn't be found as the young lady was wearing cuffs while receiving strict stares and sometimes scorn from most of the people around her.

"Do you understand your crimes now?" The man who looks a few decades older than the young woman raised his voice, echoing through the large chamber they are in.

But instead of cowering, the young lady stood straight and even glared at the middle-aged man, "Stop wasting everyone's time. You already decided what punishment I would have behind closed doors. What's the point of making a show out of this obviously biased trial? Ahhh... That's right, isn't it? You just want to make an example out of me because I can't give you the answers that you want. Must be nice to have..." The young lady's statement, however, couldn't be finished as she was forced to shut up.

"Stralit Luxeux." The woman on the highest seat who looks like the young lady but aged up, spoke, "This council is giving you one last chance. Explain why you thwarted the operation on Draconic Deus and where your [Successor] is?"
