Chapter 12 - Calamity
“A Golden Bull Thork?” Tien Ha and Gerald repeated this as they stared continually at the colossal beast that had emerged from the Fire Pool.
“What’s a Golden Bull Thork? Have you encountered a beast like this before?” Tajmani directed her question at her assigned knights.
With trembling lips, Tien Ha explained, “I’ve never personally encountered one, Princess, but I’ve seen recordings detailing their existence. However, the...

Chapter 11 - Ominous Fire Pool
A loud thud erupted through the icy tunnel, followed by the sound of a heavy body hitting the ground. Footsteps approached the fallen creature, and a trail of crimson blood began to seep from its wounds, flowing towards an outstretched hand.
The blood entered the palm, revealing the owner to be Gerald, his armor and face splattered with gore. Tajmani emerged from the shadows behind him, her clothes were similarly stained with the evidenc...

Chapter 313 - An Adorable Tail
"Great Jin Territory. Sage Rulers, do not trespass!"
The sign was clearly a warning to Empress Yao Guang and her companions.
The Empress's face was grim.
She had spent years cultivating a calm and composed demeanor, maintaining an image of grace and dignity in the eyes of the world.
But today, that facade was crumbling.
The sign was newly carved, the ink still wet. Clearly, the person responsible knew they were pu...

Chapter 311 - Letting Go
“Are you alright, Rukia?” Ailin knelt beside Rukia and asked softly.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Teacher Ailin.”
Covered in blood, Rukia apologized to Ailin. As Ailin’s disciple, she was undoubtedly the least successful.
“No, Rukia. You’ve made me proud. Surviving Captain Aizen’s attack is a significant achievement.”
Golden spatial ripples materialized above Rukia. A white bandage emerged from the ripple...

Chapter 136 - Anger and Resentment
The journey to Foolshout Island was a relatively short one.
The Fish-men crew members had grown quite fond of Koala and treated her with kindness. Koala, who had once been a slave, was deeply touched by Tiger's unwavering refusal to kill unnecessarily. Gradually, she opened up her heart to them, shedding the ingrained behaviors of a slave.
…Though Arlong still held a deep hatred and disdain for humans, he never once raised a ...

Chapter 312 - The Great Escape
Qing Qiu realized that escape was also a form of travel.
It was a strange thought, considering she was being pursued by enemies she couldn't defeat, considering she had almost been captured by Empress Yao Guang several times, only narrowly escaping with injuries.
But as she traveled further and further away from the Great Ci Dynasty, Qing Qiu felt a sense of relief. She even regretted not leaving sooner.
This journey, one she...

Of course, this flaw wasn’t a true weakness in battle. After all, even Retsu Unohana had needed several days to finally confirm that something was amiss with the body Sōsuke Aizen had left behind.
A battle between Shinigami could sometimes be decided in an instant.
However, Ailin wasn’t among those whose senses were fooled by Aizen's concealed spiritual pressure.

Chapter 10 - Vampire Slugs
Raphael cautiously circled the dazed Vampire Slugs as he shined his flashlight on them while sidestepping slowly. He noticed something peculiar. When the light hit their eyes, they seemed to shrivel inward, as if recoiling from the sudden brightness.
“I get it now! So that’s why their aim has been so inaccurate. They’re sensitive to light!”
He realized that the slugs were relying on other senses to navigate the dark tunnel and ...

He had said that Rukia was “like” him.

Status? Position? Or strength?

After all, back then, Ichigo didn’t even know what “Bankai” was.
