Ch-33: Killed for Sure

As the intense battle between Tosen and me continued to escalate, the residual energy from Ichigo and Zaraki's fierce confrontation sent gradual waves of disruption through our own fight. It was evident that Ichigo was giving everything he had, while Zaraki was holding back, his strikes seemingly feeble but causing significant damage whenever they clashed with Ichigo's attacks.

Moments later, as Ichigo stumbled to the ground, his shoulder bearing a gaping wound, both Tosen and Zaraki stood side by side, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they glared at both of us. Yamamoto, the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13, spoke up, demanding the truth from me.

"Enough," he thundered. "Now, Ryoka, speak truthfully. Where did you acquire such powerful and diverse spells, spanning multiple attributes?"

I felt the tension in the air rise as I looked around at the formidable assembly of captains and vice-captains, all of them positioned less than ten meters from where I stood. The pressure was overwhelming. 

As I pondered for an answer, I was overwhelmed by the pressure of their gazes locked onto me. Taking the perfect moment, Tosen decided to strike, he thrust his Zanpakuto towards my back. Ichigo yelled, "YAMEROO" to stop him but alas, the result was as clear as the sky in soul Society.

In every story the author introduces a side character without tragic past, who is bound to die for the emotional development of the Main Character. As the character dies a miserable death, the effect induces a plot armor for the Protagonist, guess in this world, the Side Character is me. The Zanpakuto pierced through my back all the way exiting from my chest, huge amount of blood started to flow out from my body, my body went limp and my legs gave up, all my casted spells just disappeared into smoke.

Tosen gave the final ultimatum, by twisting the sword, making a large hole in my chest. The amount of blood that sprayed out was insane but weirdly enough, I felt no pain. It was like I was watching the painful event but only as a spectator. 

As I fell down, I saw Ichigo shouting some blabber, that I couldn't hear, even my vision started to fade out, was this the punishment Tosen was talking about? 

As I lost all hope, I saw two fairies covering me with an orange light, restoring my condition. Instead of being happy to see myself getting healed, I despaired, the fairies surely belong to Orihime, and due to my inability she was forced to return in such a dangerous battlefield. My despair turned into hopelessness, as I saw, Tosen nearing her. With me and Ichigo injured, the one to probably fight with him will be Renji or Ishida.

Till now every event have been taken down easily, but such event with all the combined powerhouse of Soul Society present in front of me is just impossible for one to handle.

As my vision returned, sure enough, the strike was blocked by Renji, and they failed to escape the Soil Society with Rukia. Knowing Aizen, he will now instantly take the Hogyoku, finishing the Soul Society arc prematurely.

Renji was sent flying by Tosen with one strike, and I took the charge of the battle, as the fairies started healing Ichigo. Orihime and the others shouted, "Ridhiro are you alright?", I just outright ignored it, and looked with murderous intent towards Tosen and said, "You tried to hurt her, didn't you? Where did your morals and Justice go, to attack an weaponless."

He replied, "I am just following orders, do not expect me to be merciful to the ones illegally trespassing the territory." So I chanted another Hado in my stock, "Hado #15 Gekidoyami.

<System >: Hado #15 Gekidoyami: It plunges all targets in the range into a realm of profound darkness, shrouding them in void of despair.

Huge amount of black colored energy just enveloped the whole radius within a kilometer, the small scale Soul Reapers began to panic as everything turned into pitch black. Everything seemed to stop as no sound could be heard, even the sound of wind flowing was blocked.

Tosen was shocked to see such a spell, he said in an astonished tone, "How is it possible? Its effects are so close to the abilities of my Zanpakuto". The words spoken never reached anyone but me, Yes, this spell have a striking similarity of Tosen's Zanpakuto, Suzumushi.

Tosen just returned to his original temperament, guess everyone is starting to develop an immunity against the shock received from the reveal of my spells. He said, "Such pathetic display of barrier, let me show you what real despair is, BANKAI, Suzumushi Enma Koroogi. 

In a split amount of a second his Bankai, teared through my spell, as if gulping it whole, showing which one is more superior, the only downside was, like my spell, his Bankai also enveloped around everyone in the vicinity, even the Captains and the Captain Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni.

Everything became pitch black, but this time, even darker than my spell. Not even any smell was excused from the ability. Being robbed of all the senses have put me into a disadvantageous position to fight Tosen. 

So it was finally time for my last Hado, I yelled, Hado #19 Kageyobu", and the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed occurred.

<System >: Hado #19 Kageyobu: It allows the caster to manipulate shadows from targets, with containing the level of power in their prime, and let them fight their hosts.

All the Soul Reapers, even captains and even Yamamoto himself were forced to face their own shadows, which attacked them without hesitation, and everyone facing problems due to the Bankai ability of Tosen.

The sudden change in power balance was occurred due to my overpowered spell, which gave us enough time to escape with everyone. The shadows are not invincible, but the spell have created a healthy amount of time to flee.
