Chapter 304: R

Chapter 304: R

(Ryoto's pov)

I opened my eyes only to see my inner world, although it slightly differed from what I remembered. For one, the sky was cracking like the world was ending. The last thing I recall before getting here was talking with Soi Fon as my strength slowly failed me.

I'm dying.

There's no other way around, and it's probably for good this time. I don't count on waking up in my bed or another body altogether and seeing an unfamiliar ceiling, but it doesn't mean I don't have any regrets. I said as much to Soi Fon. Maybe if I was younger, I would say something stupid as my last words, but I needed to say everything I could before... Well, I couldn't.

I looked around to find either or, hopefully, both of my Zanpakuto spirits before this world crumbled away and we, with it. Surprisingly, I couldn't see them, which I felt was unnatural. I would think that they would approach me as soon as they sensed that I was here. Maybe they just don't have enough energy to materialize here anymore. It would be a shame to die alone, but I can't do anything about it.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

Surprisingly, the sky that was slowly cracking stopped doing that and even started repairing itself. But before it closed all the cracks, the process stopped, leaving some of the portions broken. It raised a few questions, but, as I still couldn't do anything about it so I decided to look around.

I walked a bit inside my world until I could see the pole that appeared when I met either Soul King or Mimihagi. I'm still not sure who it was but I guess it doesn't matter anymore. It will be an unanswered mystery in a story called my life.

Hearing what he wanted me to do, I widened my eyes in shock. To be honest, it would be a huge and difficult favor to do, but at the same time, with his help, it may be doable. It helps that I planned on doing that before, just maybe not that way, and possibly it wouldn't end up with what he asked me of. And it's not like I can't empathize with his wish.

As the trio of Soi Fon, Ren, and Aizen looked at the vanishing crosses of Reishi, they suddenly felt pressure. It wasn't like anything they felt before. It wasn't the feeling of a strong Reiatsu crashing into you, nor was it the killing intent of someone ready to tear you apart. It was like your will was tested, and if you failed, you would crumble. What was most surprising was that this feeling came from none other than almost-dead Ryoto. The surprise didn't end there, however, as the blood recently coming out of his body upon hitting the ground burned through it until the blood itself burned itself out. Soon after, the wounds closed by themselves, although the closing was very shallow, so the injuries received weren't healed, just closed. The positive in this was that Ryoto's bleeding stopped, so at least he wouldn't lose any more blood.

The man who had gathered everyone's attention slowly opened his eyes, and to the delight of the two present ladies, they were glowing as they tend to do. They were about to ask how he was feeling, but as soon as he got a sense of the situation thanks to his Reiatsu sensing and Observation Haki, his expression turned even more serious as he turned to both of his companions.

"Get me to Unohana. Quick! There isn't much time to explain."

He then turned to Aizen but didn't say anything, but there was a small understanding between them. Their fight will be on hold for now as a bigger adversary has appeared.

Now, they hurried to reach Unohana before worse came to worse.
