Chapter 3

(A/N: Before the story starts, I'm pretty dumb to make flying as a racial ability of Ulquiorra. Sonìdo can make Arrancar fly and I was like, Damn? I thought it was for movement speed. So yeah, sorry about that and I read some comments that like Arrancar uses some Reiatsu platform on their feet for them to fly… Basically, I don't watch Bleach and only use Wiki and Videos found online. Hmmm, so you guys can make suggestions or correct me if I'm wrong. Well for flying ability…. Whatever, I just use Sonìdo in the future.)

(A/N: Take your time reading. Enjoy!)

Even though I can kill Hollows right now with ease, I still can't help but be wary and I was right. 

When I'm fighting my 5th Hollow, the Deer Hollow, as a fast figure, suddenly attacks me from behind. 

I didn't sense its presence at all and was completely unguarded. I was hit in the head, though I have hard skin and muscle, I still can't help but yell in pain and get paralyzed by a few seconds, and it took that few seconds to make me helpless as the face of a Cero blasting in front of me.

I luckily avoided though with my Sonìdo, working in the last second of me getting hit by Cero of that Deer Hollow. 

As I began to escape, I looked behind and saw that the one that sneak attacks on me was a black figure running in all fours, disappearing left and right as it chased me. 

Ulquiorra's mastery of Sonìdo was superb so I left them behind as I ran for my dear life.

Like the First Day, the Second Day gave me another setback that Hollows can team up, but the heck was that black-on-four's Hollow. I can sense its presence at all. 

Those Cold and Ruthless Eyes, Aiyo~

My head hurts, F*ck! 

I began running to a suitable place where I cannot be spotted by the Hollows.

The First was the Goat Hollow + 0.10% which gives me the first Percent increase of the day, increasing my Ulquiorra Template Percentage to 1.20%.

I hunted more Hollows, namely the Lion Hollow, which is strong by the way, giving me another increase in Percentage. Another + 0.10% increased, increasing my Ulquiorra Template to + 1.30%.

Another one which is the Fox Hollow, giving me a + 0.10% increase, increasing my Ulquiorra Template to 1.40% 

Another one which is the Pig Hollow, that guy was slow as hell, but had the strong Cero attack I ever see, not that I have seen a Cero fire other than the First Hollow on my First Day, the Majora's Hollow, and that Deer Hollow, which I have to be able to kill but interrupted by that black Hollow. Giving me a + 0.10% increased, reaching the 1.50% I have right now. 

And when I'm hunting my 5th Hollow Today, you know the story. As I observe the Deer Hollow, someone is observing me as well, and when I'm about to give a fatal strike, someone is faster than me and gives me a fatal strike in the head. Luckily, my head is strong in defense but I think it broke some of my skulls, but the Regenerating capability of Ulquiorra was busted and healed after 5 days of confinement.

Yes, 5 Days of hiding since I'm not at my top Shape to hunt more Hollows and it will be a stupid decision to hunt Hollows when I am injured.

These days, I'm still quite vexed since I can't use my Flight ability to farm Soul. Like seriously, I'm in a cave, a close area, and flying will only hinder me since I'm not good at it. 

Stable only flight mode.

Anyway, I'm here right now resting myself to start another session, or the Third time Exploring this Dungeon and Hunting Hollows.

°°°

Sixth Day

I slowly found myself vigilant to my surroundings. I think I have trauma and suffer some kind of PTSD because of that dark Hollow.

I vigilantly killed 3 Hollows today, namely being the Devil Horned Hollow, the Rabbit Hollow, and lastly a Hollow that I know, the Majora's Hollow. 

I was skeptical when I first saw this Hollow, but I'm sure now. Hollow in this Dungeon respawn, I don't know what time they respawn, 24hrs before death or 72hrs? 

I still didn't get to where the Deer Hollow was, because I'm still fearful of that Black Hollow.

Anyway, the Harvest today is not bad, + 0.30% increased in Ulquiorra's Template.

Hey, I'm getting stronger! Even a 1/10 of a Percentage is a massive leap of strength. Don't forget that this is a Percentage of Ulquiorra's Power, not that kind of Awakening thing that was slowly getting stronger, For me, it's like I'm remembering what power I had.

It's a massive cheat, to be honest, but remembering and getting it to action is a hard thing for me to do.

Maybe something will happen if I get to %2? I'm looking forward to it! 

Anyway, no rush, no rush! 

I still have 24 days left. I'm getting stronger and on the First Day, I could only kill 1 Hollow, but on the Second Day, I killed 5 Hollows and was injured! Rest and on the Six-Day, I could easily kill 3 Hollow. I didn't go towards the other area of the Dungeon because of that Black Hollow.

I already marked where I have been and at the end of the road, there's no exit on them. Maybe the exits were in the Deer Hollow and Black Hollow's Direction? 

No time talking, let's go to sleep. I can't wait to see what will happen if I get 2% in Ulquiorra's Template.

The Seventh Day

Dave woke up feeling refreshed. All the spend strength he had was already replenished. 

Dave then began walking towards where the Majora's Mask was to kill it and of course, to know how many hours they respawn.

°°°

24hrs before Death, the Hollow will Respawn.

After killing the Majora's Mask, Dave then glances at his Status screen where he was only short in one soul to increase his Ulquiorra Template to 2%.

He then began running in the Goat Hollow's Direction. One of the nearest places of Majora's Hollow and the Second Hollow he killed.

He stopped and began walking silently, while vigilantly looking around. 

The Goat Hollow was standing in two feet, its hands were digging towards the Crystal and eating it. Dave already saw this kind of thing and so was not surprised. Half of the Hollow he killed were either daydreaming or eating Green Crystals on the walls.

He didn't dare to eat the Crystal, because it might have some kind of poison that can kill him. Poison, I mean those Energy or some kind of Reiatsu that have poison and can kill me. I'm not that desperate to eat something anyway.

I ready my sword, and within a second, I appeared at the back of the Goat Hollow and slashed the Goat Hollow with my sword.

My sword, Murciélago, hacks the Goat Hollow cleanly, from top to bottom.

This kind of strength is far apart from the first time I did it with the Majora's Hollow.

And with that…

[Ding! + 0.10%] 

[Ding! Congratulation Host for reaching the 2% in Ulquiorra's Template]

[Ding! Host got slightly increase in strength]

[Slightly increase in endurance]

[Slightly increase in agility]

[Slightly increase in…]

…

[Ding! Because Host had a 2% percent of Ulquiorra's Template, Host get the skill Hierro]

Dave was static as he saw the last notification he got.

Hierro is one of the skills Espada has. The compressed Reiatsu of them become a second skin, making them tough nuts to crack. 

When Kenpachi and Nnoitra, the 5th rank of Espada, battles, Kenpachi managed to slash Nnoitra but remained unharmed by it, managing to counter-attack and injured Kenpachi. 

But anyway, Kenpachi was a monster and easily Defeated Nnoitra in the end, nevertheless, Nnoitra's Hierro managing to stand a blow from Kenpachi without getting injured is a feat itself.

Another one is when Ulquiorra managed to catch Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou in his Bankai Form, because of Hierro.

Dave still can't manipulate his Reiatsu outside his body, and so Hierro is a good skill to have to see him wasting all Reiatsu he had and not using it at all.

Like, Reiatsu is not for you to not get Hungry, but for you to use in a Fight. 

Closing his eyes and began concentrating his attention on his Reiatsu inside his body, and now finally knowing the ability to do Hierro, Dave began to do what his memories told him to do.

A Green energy surface around his body as Dave's body began to glow green in color. After a while, the green energy subsided inside and began pumping energy in his skin, making it tougher and stronger.

Dave then opens his eyes slightly as a green color flash in his eyes, he then began inspecting his body and feeling that he can now stand a blow of a Cero in any Hollow besides the Pig Hollow, who was abnormally strong in firing Cero.
