51 – Bad Knees

He didn’t even have to consider it at all and was already dashing to intercept Grimmjow blocking his paw moments by crossing two of his blades before it could reach Apacci his camouflage illusion slowly unraveling as it ended up with the two of them bound in a stalemate trying to force one another back until finally Hisashi swung his extra two blades towards him forcing Grimmjow to give up on the competition of strength and back away from them.

“Tch... annoying bug.” Grimmjow spat out aggressively, annoyed that he had suddenly been interrupted by someone else. His eyes screamed murder for his rightful prey being taken away.

"My apologies I’ll also have to avoid kneeling, I have bad knees. How about a rain check?" Hisashi responded lightly as he kept an eye on all of the Adjuchas and his surroundings to position himself better. There was no need to be polite with Grimmjow unlike Harribel. The only options he would ever offer them is submit or die. Giving up isn’t in his dictionary.

“W..what are you doing here?!” He heard Apacci yell from behind him with a mix of anger, indignation and embarrassment at being caught off-guard and saved.

“What? Are you not in need of saving princess?” He couldn’t stop himself from teasing her while she was embarasssed.Reêad latest novels at noov/e/l/bin(.)com

“Shut up! I can easily stomp this cat to death without you!” She continued to yell back to cover for her embarrassment.

The other two also seemed to relax a little, although they were still outnumbered they were fairly certain he was stronger than all three of them despite how short he had been an Adjuchas given the desolation they knew he left behind as they tried to keep an eye on him for the past weeks his presence took some of the pressure off.

Without warning Hisashi sensed something at the last second and dodged to the side something gouging a deep trench across his carapace covering his chest causing a loud screech to echo. Thankfully since it was a mostly superficial wound his healing was already stitching it back together.

Grimmjow growled at them causing his lackies to start moving in on them to prevent their escape.

Hisashi charged a cero from his mouth which made them swiftly turn taking a defensive position instead while the trio started escaping.

Grimmjow immediately countered with his own cero meeting Hisashi’s in the middle causing an explosion of energy that forced everyone back.

Before he had a chance the Grimmjow’s team started charging and firing their own Ceros at him trying to box him in. Using his high dexterity and footwork he managed to weave between the repeated beams like a dance though staying safe was taking up most of his concentration. This would be a lot easier to deal with if he could just either run or kill them, but that was exactly what he was trying to avoid.

Before he could clearly notice it a white flash passed by home while he continued dodging and weaving seperating one of his arms above the elbow.

‘Shit, that’s actually going to take some time to regenerate.’ Hisashi stressed.

It was Grimmjow who now stood with part of Hisashi’s arm in his jaws before crunching down on it causing it to be completely destroyed. The others weren’t letting up though as they continued firing off ceros at him to keep him occupied. Although a strategy that couldn’t be kept up for long due to the energy expenditure it was very effective at creating openings for Grimmjow to exploit.

Hisashi used his illusions to hide one of the remaining arms and the stump from sight to make it harder to target and easier to make surprise attacks with it.

The bull looking Adjuchas took this opportunity to chase after the three that were escaping. Hisashi pushed his speed to the max by pumping his blut into overdrive on his legs cutting of his pursuit by swiftly chopping off one of his hind legs. Although going over the physical limits with blur could damage his body as long as he didn’t go too hard his high speed regeneration would take care of the micro damage in mere moments. One of the benefits of using the skill as a Hollow as opposed to the human quincy still relying on their weak human physique and regeneration. Although he didn’t want to kill Grimmjow or his buddies severe injuries were fine. Missing a leg for a while wasn’t going to kill him.
