New Skill

"Who is it?"

Rukia Kuchiki opened her eyes suspiciously.

But the moment she opened her eyes, she noticed that the mantis held her claws loose for a moment.

Realizing the opportunity to fight back.

She gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain coming from her body, she broke free from the shackles of Hollow, landed on the ground again, and at the same time pulled out the Zanpakutō from her waist, and said coldly:

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"

The moment the sound is heard, Zanpakutō begins to change.

Zanpakutō takes the form of a katana with a white, snowflake-like tsuba, a white hilt, a white blade, and a long white ribbon on the end of the pommel.

It can be said,

This Zanpakutō is extremely beautiful,

But under that beautiful appearance, there is a cold murderous intent.

"Damn it, is this Zanpakutō?" Mantis was not stupid and naturally recognized the weapon in Rukia's hand.

His heart suddenly tightened.

An instinctive feeling urged it to stay away from the Shinigami in front of it.

This feeling has saved him many times in battle, so, without the slightest hesitation, he followed his instinct and retreated.

But alas.

After all, it was one step behind Rukia.

When he was about to flee, Rukia had already attacked first.

"First Dance·White Moon!"

A huge ice circle emerged on the ground.

Thick frost spread from the ground to Mantis Hollow!

"Damn it!" Before he had time to think, he jumped and accelerated to escape from the spot.

Rumble! ! !

Accompanied by a huge momentum!

An icicle rose directly into the sky as if connected with the sky and the earth.

But surprisingly, because of Hollow's instinctive reaction, the icicle only froze one of its arms, and then it turned into ice crystals and dissipated in the air.

"Damn, because of the pain, the reaction was a bit slower."

Seeing this scene,

Rukia couldn't help but look desperate.

In her plan, she planned to kill this praying mantis in one move.

Of course, if there is another shot, Rukia is confident that she can kill Mantis Hollow, but the problem is that her Reiatsu and physical strength have both reached their limits!

Shikai was forced to lift.

Sode no Shirayuki has been restored to its original form.

At the same time, the price of the previous forceful attack came slowly, and blood gushed from Rukia's throat.

"Damn! Damn!"

"You ruined one of my arms!!!"

Mantis appeared in front of Rukia again with a flicker, and kicked hard!

All of a sudden!

Rukia was out of strength.

Like a piece of rag, she flew backward several meters, hitting the wall covered with cobweb traces again.

"Cough!!!" The moment it hit the wall, Rukia couldn't help but let out a scream, and blood gushed out of her mouth.

Watching Rukia's misery

Mantis vented his anger, then turned to look at the entrance of the alley.

He didn't forget that the reason why it allowed Rukia to seize the opportunity was entirely because of the sudden attack just now from the entrance of the alley!

"A human?"

Mantis' expression suddenly froze.

He saw a young man standing at the entrance of the alley, and the two looked at each other.

But there was no slight fluctuation in the boy's eyes as if what he was looking at was just a dead thing.

This scene was filled with a strange sense of oppression, which made Mantis a little confused. This...isn't this just an ordinary human being? Why, why do I feel this way?

"Rukia?"

Boy standing in the alley

It was Natsuki who came here to pick up the high-level attribute group.

At this time

Seeing Rukia lying on the ground bleeding, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

He doesn't understand.

Rukia is one of the most important character in the original work.

How on earth did she lose to such cannon fodder, that's right, it was a cannon fodder!

Under Natsuki's perception, this Hollow Reiatsu is only half of his own, no, not even half!

Although he had doubts.

But Natsuki was only curious for a moment.

Then he looked at the light attribute group beside Hollow.

Different from the milky white ordinary light attribute clusters, the color of this light attribute cluster is azure blue. This is the first time Natsuki has seen a light attribute cluster of this color.

"Is this the advanced light attribute orb?"

In Natsuki's perspective

The word [Drain] can be vaguely seen in this light attribute orb.

This made Natsuki a little itchy and immediately chose to absorb it through the air, only to see the high-level light attribute orb automatically flying from a distance and blending into his body.

Suddenly,

The system sounded!

[Ding!]

[It is detected that the host picks up the special skill [Drain], and the skill will be displayed in the skill list]

The moment the sound fell.

A berserk Reiatsu appeared inside Natsuki.

Start to strengthen himself, and at the same time, a new skill appeared in the skill list.

Natsuki slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the extra skill in the system panel, the corners of his mouth lightly twitched.

"As expected of a high-level light attribute group, the effect is amazing. With this skill, it will be easy to become stronger!"

After that,

He looked at the praying mantis.

After gaining new skill, he just needed a test subject, but before that

Boom!

Natsuki disappeared from the spot.

But then the voice rang out.

"Is this Zanpakutō?"

"What...when?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Mantis froze and turned around to look blankly.

He saw Natsuki standing behind him at some point, leaning over to pick up Zanpakutō, after familiarizing himself with its weight, he squatted down halfway and slowly retracted the knife and held it in his waist.

Next moment!

There was a flash of light in the dark night.

Pooh!

A line of blood appeared on the neck of the mantis.

At the same time, a huge head fell from the sky and rolled a few meters on the ground before slowly stopping.

"Tsk~ Is this killing Hollow? It doesn't seem to be difficult." Natsuki looked at the corpse of Mantis Hollow who had been supporting for a while before falling to the ground with a surprised expression.
