Chapter 1213 Going for the Rematch

All of the [Chained], except for Szayelaporro, released their Reiatsu mixed with 'Hell's Blessing'. Their sharp blades liberated and hungry for blood, bore down on the old man.

However, Yamamoto remained calm and motionless and it was only until they were about to reach him that they felt the other people who came with and were being masked by Yamamoto's intense aura. Feeling the disadvantageous position they had, they all retreated back.

Dropping down one by one with either fearless smiles or stoic expressions, the liberated ones came face to face with their enemies whom they hadn't seen for countless years.

The first one who stepped out was the former Captain of the 6th Division, a fair-skinned lady with long dark pink hair tied up in two hip-length pigtails on either side of her head. Her large violet eye that's not covered by an eyepatch scanned her surroundings but only noted two people and one regenerating pile of flesh.

With a large mocking smile, she addressed them while pulling and pointing her Zanpakuto at them, "Shigyou, Sakahone, and... Is that Shijima? It has been a while, isn't it? Not since you last hunted down Izuhara and Obana. And where's Kumoi, by the way? Did you finally dispose of that coin-obsessed idiot?"

The former Captain of the 2nd Division and Yoruichi's ancestor, Chika Shihouin, also stepped out while glaring at the founding members of the Gotei 13 who were standing on the other side, "What's the point and saying things to them? Just cut them down."

As soon as he finished words, he disappeared and was immediately followed by a sound of clashing blades. Before they realized it, Chika already dragged Nobutsuna Shigyou with him outside the castle.

Furoufushi was about to attack the decrepit old man and Saizou Sakahone also prepared himself to receive it. But instead of Furoufushi's blade, Saizou ended up swinging his sword to the side in panic and met someone else's blade. When he saw who sneaked up beside him, he felt a large force hitting his side and immediately shot off to the wall, creating a hole in it before landing in a distant mountain.

"Katori... What's up with that?" Furoufushi asked the one who attacked Saizou with discontent.

While fixing her glasses, Batsu'unsai answered, "Forget about it. You don't have any chance against that old man."

Furoufushi wanted to refute her words but stopped when she thought about the old man's ability, "And you can deal with him?"

Batsu'unsai displayed a small smile and said before disappearing, "I learned something very good from the young ladies."

Furoufushi sighed and turned her attention back to the remaining acquaintances, "I guess I'll settle with you." Furofushi swung her Zanpakuto and a blast of wind smashed onto the regenerating torso, sending it through the hole that Yamamoto created. A second later, she also disappeared.

After them, the next one to move was Unohana, and faced one of the former Kenpachi, "Should we leave?"

Kurayashiki shuddered and his blood boiled because he knew exactly who she truly was. However, he wanted to confirm something first, "Are they here?"

Because of Serafall's stories, Unohana was someone who understood what he meant and nodded, "Are you waiting for them?"

Kurayashiki nodded, "As much as I want to face you, I had a promise with that lass."

Unohana was obviously disappointed and she didn't really want to fight an unwilling opponent so her head turned to the other Kenpachi, Kiganjou, "You, it's time to prove yourself." Before walking away.

There was silence after her words and Kigajou could only stare at Unohana's back in disbelief. A few seconds later, he exploded in fury, "You dare!? A mere physician!?" Kiganjou lunged at Unohana but the latter just used Flash Step to get away and the furious former Kenpachi angrily followed her with his voice echoing, "A weakling like you dare challenge me!? I'm going to tear you into pieces!"

Silence still permeated the surroundings and there's an atmosphere of disbelief lingered.

'Why did I take in that idiot?' Szayelaporro asked himself seriously, 'Or maybe he left because he's afraid of Yamamoto Genryuusai.' At that moment, he also noticed the Tousen had disappeared and narrowed his eyes, 'Is it him?'

"Stop wasting time. Let's get this over with. I'll take care of that old man." The stocky and muscular man with no flesh on his head started walking towards Yamamoto, "All of you, get lost."

But despite not having a face, it's apparent to Szayelaporro and the other [Chained] that he's having ambitious thoughts of 'eating' him.

Szayelaporro only chuckled and stood up and said before disappearing, "If you can, then go ahead. I'll look forward to it."

After him, Yammy, Nnoitra, and Zommari also left by using Sonido and Kurayashiki with a Flash Step.

Juushirou wanted to follow Szayelaporro because he was the root of this problem but all of a sudden, the assault group heard Kisuke's voice in their head [Leave Szayelaporro and Kurayashiki to us.]

Without much choice, Juushirou changed his target and followed Yammy Riyalgo while Gin and Choujirou followed Nnoitra and Zommari respectively, leaving behind Yamamoto and Barragan facing each other.

"...Where did all of that vigor go?" Serafall asked while watching from afar, "They all came together but went out of their way to have one-on-one's."

"Let them be. This also reduces the risk since we don't know what Szayelaporro can do." Kisuke replied to her while taking note of the direction where Szayelaporro left.

At the same time, Kisuke felt someone tugging on his clothes and when he turned around, Claire was looking at him expectantly, "Can I have a go?"

"Want revenge?", asked Kisuke. He was just thinking of sending Serafall after Kuruyashiki or looking for Souya Azashiro who's now in Hell to deal with him.

"Rematch." Claire corrected him.

Kisuke peaked at Serafall and the latter immediately said, "I know what I said that time but I also knew her growth all the while from that point. If she wants to, then let her be. It'll also be a good chance for her to give a proper conclusion to this."

Kisuke sighed, "Fine... But if I think it's going to be dangerous or if I detect any sort of imbalance between your Holy Power and Demonic Power, I'm pulling you out."

Claire nodded cheerfully, "Got it! I'll be careful!"

A second later, 4 pairs of alternating Angel and Devil Wings appeared behind Claire as she flew toward the direction Kurayashiki left.

"...No matter how many times I see it, I still can't believe someone like Claire-chan could exist," Serafall muttered.

Meanwhile, Kisuke is very worried about how her parents and his mother would react to this, 'Looks like the Belial House still don't have a proper heir.'
