Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

unted, and a flame ball was fired from his hand.
However, it disappeared the moment it hit the crystal clear wall as if it went into another dimension.

However, Vladimir’s pupils dilated at the next moment as the flame ball that he fired earlier almost hit him from another side hadn’t he dodged it.

“That pesky Shinigami! He even left this annoying trickery behind!”

Vladimir’s Reiatsu suddenly skyrocketed, and he emitted a wave of flame that shattered the Kidō Muyang created in a hurry.  

“That Shinigami dares to make a fool out of me.
I’m gonna finish him for sure next time!!!”

Vladimir’s menacing Reiatsu swirled in the air, blowing everything away.

“This should be far enough.”

After Muyang was convinced that he had put enough distance between them and Vladimir, he put down Harribel.

“Okay, you’re free to go now.”

Although he ended up saving Harribel on his way to find Starrk, the Harribel he saw now and the 3rd Espada Harribel that he knew was way too different, and it was honestly disappointing.

“Uhh… Kimura-sama?”

Harribel seemed like she had something to say, but she was kind of reluctant to do so.

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing Harribel seemed fidgety, Muyang immediately inquired her.
Although the Harribel in front of him was quite different from the Harribel that he knew, Muyang had a soft spot for all Bleach’s original character.

“I’ll serve you, but can you please protect us in exchange? If someone as strong as you is on our side, we’ll be able to rest easy.”

Harribel knelt down on the ground suddenly, bowing her head.

“Serve me?” Muyang was shocked for a moment, but he suddenly thought of something.

“Wait, us? Who else is there other than you?”

“There are 3 more female Hollows aside from me.
Us female Hollows fall short when it comes to power.
Because of that, we’re constantly being targeted by other Hollows, but if Kimura-sama is there to protect us… we should be safe.”

Harribel suddenly got worked up for a moment before lowering her tone again.

“I’m well aware that this is such a selfish request, but…”

Looking at the hopeful look in Harribel’s eyes, Muyang couldn’t just refuse immediately.
Besides, she said that there were 3 other, so it should be Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, and Apacci.
Although he was kind of disappointed with Harribel, those three were original Bleach characters too, and he had a soft spot for them.

“Lead the way.”

Muyang said after a brief silence.

“Seriously?!”

Harribel was thrilled as Muyang agreed to her request.
Although Harribel alone was sufficient to get them through various predicaments, they would be safer if Muyang agreed to protect them.
Judging from the brief battle earlier, she believed that even Baraggan was no match against Muyang.

Harribel immediately led Muyang towards her hideout, grinning all the way.

Along the way, Muyang was looking closely at Harribel as he followed closely behind her and felt that her demeanor as the later 3rd Espada was still there.

“Kimura-sama, we’re almost there.”

As Harribel notified Muyang that her hideout was close, their eyes met, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Meanwhile, Muyang was a little bit flustered as he has been staring at Harribel for quite some time.

“Hm?”

Suddenly Muyang’s complexion changed.

“What’s the matter, Kimura-sama?”

“Is your hideout over there?”

Harribel nodded after following the direction Muyang pointed.

“This is not good.
I felt a few powerful Reiatsu from there, and some of them are even stronger than you.
I think your companion may be in trouble.”
