504. All are exhausted(1/2)
Corpse Soul Realm.
After the invasion was over, the barrier above the Lingting Court had been repaired.
The sky burned by the flames seemed to have not yet expired. The twilight fell from the sky like layers of fiery red gauze, covering the entire spiritual court, and the breath of blood and solemnness filled the place.
No one was delighted to repel the enemy, because they all knew that the real war had just begun.
“I have to be stronger, too.”
At this moment, there was only this thought in Sakuki Masaru's mind.
In the temple of the Kuriki family, Kuriki Masaru sat cross-legged in the center of the temple and closed his eyes and meditated. The Zanpakura was placed flat on her knees. As her spirit gradually became concentrated, the Zanpakura seemed to respond to her voice making Weng Ming.
In the previous battle, the losses in the Soul Realm were minimized thanks to the efforts of the captains of the Thirteenth Team of the Guardians.
At that time, she was on the battlefield and felt the crazy and terrifying spiritual pressure of the invaders. If she had faced such an enemy, she would have been successful.
Her power was too weak and it didn't come in any use in that battle.
So she returned home and devoted herself to practicing.
"truth."
A serious voice suddenly came from the door of the dojo, interrupting the meditation of Kuraki Masaru.
"Father."
She opened her eyes and looked at her father who suddenly came to find her in confusion.
"The captain of the fourth team, Shiba Jinpei, was very injured and could not participate in the next battle for the time being, and the deputy captain is now missing. So now, the only three new seats in the fourth team are left."
Jun Kukiki said bluntly, "Shiba Jun seems to be optimistic about you. They suggested to the captain that you will be the temporary captain. As for the rest of the team members, they have no objection after seeing your previous performance on the battlefield."
"Ah? I..."
The Satokiki Masaru was a little hesitant.
She clearly knew very well that she was not useful in fact.
“You just need to answer yes or no.”
Kuroki Chun's face was serious.
"You should know what it means to take over as captain at such a point in time."
"yes!"
Hearing his father's words, Masaru Kuraki's eyes instantly became serious.
She suddenly realized that it was a critical period for fighting with Mongkeshi, and the fourth team's most medical unit was the most indispensable part of the war. Taking over as captain at this moment means that she will step on the front line of the battlefield like the other captains of the 13th Team of Guarding.
She will stand in front of all enemies in the same state as the captain. Even if her strength is insufficient, no enemy will have any sympathy for her because of her weakness.
This is dangerous, but it is also a rare opportunity for her to temper herself.
"very good."
Hearing her firm answer, a faint smile appeared on Jun Sukiki's face, as if he was relieved.
"So come with me."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the dojo.
“Where to go…”
Before he could ask a question, Kuriki Masaru quickly took the Zanpakura and followed behind him.
Perhaps in order to prevent another sudden invasion like before, the atmosphere in the Lingting Court is very serious at this moment, and it has entered a state of full security. Deaths standing guard or patrolling can be seen everywhere.
The air seemed to be solidified. Affected by such a murderous aura, Masaru Saki swallowed and swallowed a lot of problems in his heart.
She followed her father and said nothing along the way.
Until I came to the captain's mansion again.
The two death gods waiting at the gate seemed to have expected a visitor to come, and respectfully pushed open the door and retreated to wait aside.
Jun Kuraki's pace did not stop at all, and led Kuraki Mari behind him to the courtyard of the captain's mansion.
At this moment, except for him and Shiba Jinping, the other captains of the Thirteenth Team of the Guardian Court, had all arrived.
They noticed someone coming from behind and turned around.
Finally, he set his sight on Kuroki Masaru who was following Kuroki Jun.
“…”
Kuriki Mari followed her father to the other people and stood side by side. Facing the eyes of so many captain-level people, her body became a little stiff.
"Okay, everyone is here."
The old voice sounded, pulling everyone's eyes away from Kuriki Masaru.
At this time, she realized that in addition to several captains, the captain was also there.
Yamamoto Kinriya Katsuki sat on the steps of the courtyard eaves and looked around the crowd calmly.
He was the only one sitting in the whole yard, so she was blocked by the standing row of people just now, and she couldn't see the old man.
"Although you should have all the impressions, let's introduce it for now."
Yamamoto Kinriki Shigeko's eyes fell on Kuriki Masaru, "This is the person who temporarily serves as the captain of the fourth team, Kuriki Masaru. You have no objection."
"Haha, is this the genius of the Kyukigi family?"
Hearing this name, a flushed smile appeared on Maozhihua Baqianliu's face.
Genius is what she is most interested in, because only genius can grow to the point where she is "satisfied" one day in the future.
"Maozhihua, put away your smile."
Jun Shukigi frowned slightly and reminded.
He knew this dangerous woman very well.
Although I am reluctant to admit it, this woman is indeed the strongest person in the corpse soul world except the captain.
It was a good thing to have such a strong man in this current situation, but this woman's personality made him very worried.
This woman only has combat in her eyes. As long as she can enjoy the battle, it doesn’t matter who the enemy is.
"Ah, don't be angry, Kyuko."
Maozhihua Baqianliu covered her mouth and smiled, "I won't do anything to your daughter, at least not now, after all, she is - too weak."
Her words were sarcastic and harsh, without any mercy.
This hit the affair of the Sakuki Masaru who heard these words.
"you……"
Jun Kukiki clenched his fists and was about to get angry, but a powerful spiritual pressure stopped him.
Not only him, but everyone on the battlefield felt this terrifying spiritual pressure.
Jun Shukiki let go of his fist and looked at the old man not far away.
Mao Zhihua Ba Qianliu also withdrew her gaze that was placed on the girl, still smiling.
There is no need to say much about the people who can calm them here, only the captain sitting under the eaves.
"Ahem..."
Seeing the commotion subsided, Yamamoto Kinsugaki coughed twice and took back the spiritual pressure on his body.
"Since everyone has no other opinions, the acting captain is decided."
Then, he once again set his eyes on Satokiki Masaru.
"Although things are so determined, you should be very clear about what the situation is now, the lady of the Kuroki family."
“Huh—yes!”
Kuraki Masaru took a deep breath and adjusted his breath, responding firmly.
She knew that Captain Umaika was right, she was too weak compared to everyone else present, but even so, it was not a reason for her to give up.
"Okay, don't be so restrained. Now is an extraordinary time, and there is no need for such rigid greetings..."
Yamamoto Kinriki Yukihiro smiled and waved his hand, and said, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.
"But I hope that as one of the captains of the Thirteenth Team of Guardian, it is enough to remember only one thing-"
······
A quaint Japanese wooden door was slowly opened above Youhabach's palace.
Kuroki Masaru and Masaki Bakui Bakui stepped through the Passing World Gate.
As the spirits in the air gathered at their feet to form footholds, two figures stood out from the sky and looked down at the bottom.
"It's finally here, I'm almost unable to wait."
Standing in front, Mauzhihua Baqianliu looked down at the palace under his feet, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
To be continued...
