Chapter 494: Exploding Fear

After apologizing to Byakuya Kuchiki, Abarai Renji looked back ahead.

There, the Quincy bound by his own Snaketail Ball was covered by Captain Kuchiki's Senbonzakura.

When the Senbonzakura, like a torrent, condensed and formed again in Byakuya Kuchiki's hands, Abarai Renji was surprised to find that the Ace Nott trapped by him was intact under the attack of Captain Kuchiki's Senbonzakura?

Of course, Abarai Renji was relieved that even though the opponent was not injured by the attacks of himself and Captain Kuchiki, he was not able to break free from the restraints of his Snaketail Ball.

This should also be regarded as a defect of the "Blood Suit".

The "Moving Blood Suit" and "Still Blood Suit" of the Quincy cannot be used at the same time.

When using the "Still Blood Suit" to enhance its own defense, the Quincy's defense is increased to the strongest, but the attack does not change much.

Now Es Nott was tied up by Abarai Renji's Snake Tail Ball. If he dared to cancel the "Still Blood Suit", he would be injured or rolled into several pieces by Abarai Renji's Snake Tail Ball in the first place.

If he did not cancel the "Still Blood Suit", with Es Nott's own strength, he could not use the "Moving Blood Suit" and could not get rid of the Snake Tail Ball at all.

"Will it not happen next time?"

Es Nott raised his head and looked at Kuchiki Byakuya and Abarai Renji.

"Fear is not something that you will not be afraid of just by saying a few words."

After saying these words word by word, seven or eight blue ice cones appeared around Es Nott.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

These ice cones broke through the sound barrier at a very fast speed and attacked Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Scatter - Senbonzakura!"

Kuchiki Byakuya put his Zanpakutō on his chest and recited the release words of his Zanpakutō.

In an instant, the blade of the Zanpakutō in Byakuya Kuchiki's hand turned into a sea of ​​​​cherry blossoms, like a tsunami wave, and laid a sakura barrier in front of himself and Abarai Renji.

"Bang bang bang..."

Seven or eight blue ice cones pierced the barrier formed by Byakuya Kuchiki's Thousand Cherry Blossoms, turning part of the sakura blade into black fearful spiritual pressure, but it was soon crushed by more sakura blades.

"Huh?"

Feeling the attack of Es Nott, Byakuya Kuchiki let out a light "huh".

Es Nott's attack was much weaker than he expected.

Although the terrifying spiritual pressure in this attack would evoke some fear in his heart, under his powerful spiritual pressure, these strange spiritual pressures were quickly annihilated.

For Byakuya Kuchiki, the attack power shown by Es Nott was very disproportionate to his defense.

The Shinigami can highly condense their own spiritual pressure to defend against attacks. The stronger the spiritual pressure, the stronger the defense.

Even like Zaraki, because his own spiritual pressure is too strong, he also strengthens his body to a certain extent.

It can be said that Zaraki's body defense is stronger than the "steel skin" unique to Hollows.

Attacks below the captain level can't even break Zaraki's skin.

If calculated based on the defense of Ace Nott's ability to defend against the attack of the Shinigami Shikai, Ace Nott's attack strength is at least three to five times stronger than it is now.

"In other words, is this a certain defensive move or ability?"

After just one fight, Byakuya Kuchiki analyzed the current state of Ace Nott.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki can use his powerful spiritual pressure to touch Ace Nott's spiritual pressure, but Abarai Renji can't.

"Ah, ah ah ah ah ah..."

The black spiritual pressure spread along the snake tail pill to Abarai Renji's body. These spiritual pressures brought out the deepest fear in Abarai Renji's heart.

Since he lived in Rukongai, Abarai Renji knew that if he wanted to survive, he could only become a "wild dog" that competed with others for food.

Under normal circumstances, Abarai Renji's life would be no different from those street children in Rukongai.

He would steal, cheat, and rob other people's food to maintain his own survival, lingering on in Rukongai like a wounded stray dog, and eventually die alone one day.

But fortunately, he met Rukia.

Although Rukia is also a street child in Rukongai, unlike "wild dogs" like Abarai Renji, Rukia can cheat, steal, and rob, but she herself is like a noble Persian cat, and she seems to be incompatible with Rukongai.

Their group of brothers and sisters were attracted by Rukia's temperament, gathered around Rukia, and formed a family with Rukia as the "big sister" and Abarai Renji as the "big brother".

After the death of her brothers and sisters, Rukia wanted to become a god of death, so Abarai Renji followed Rukia to participate in the assessment of the Maou Spiritual Academy, and finally successfully entered the Soul Society.

Because of his good talent in slashing, Abarai Renji successfully entered Class A when the classes were divided, while Rukia, whose talent in slashing was weaker than Abarai Renji, could only regretfully enter Class B.

At that time, Abarai Renji thought that if he became stronger than Rukia in the future, he would definitely protect Rukia.

However, later Rukia was accepted as a disciple by Captain Aylin and left the Maou Spiritual Academy, making Rukia an existence that Abarai Renji could not even reach.

However, Abarai Renji did not lose heart.

He is a wild dog.

He survived in Rukongai when he had no power, let alone Soul Society?

However, even if he was a wild dog, he wanted to close the distance between himself and Rukia.

After graduation, Abarai Renji entered the 11th Division and directly worshipped Madarame Ikkaku as his master, and occasionally received guidance from Aylin.

After completing the training of Zanpakutō Shikai, Abarai Renji was invited by Kuchiki Byakuya to become the vice-captain of the 6th Division.

But even so, if he had time, Abarai Renji would still go to the 11th Division and ask Madarame Ikkaku for advice on the training of Bankai.

It can be said that among the vice-captains of the Gotei 13, Abarai Renji's strength is enough to rank in the top three.

However, he felt that he seemed to be further away from Rukia.

Because now Rukia is no longer the vice-captain of the 13th Division, but the captain of the 9th Division.

Whether it is strength or status, the gap between them is too big.

For Abarai Renji, he is not afraid of death.

However, what he feared most was that one day in the future, the distance between him and Rukia would be so great that he dared not even think about it.

For Abarai Renji, that would be a hundred times more terrifying than death.

Normally, these things were hidden in Abarai Renji's heart, but under the ability of Es Nott, the fear of the distance between himself and Rukia in Abarai Renji's heart was directly detonated by Es Nott. (End of this chapter)
