15 A Deadly Combination

Hiyori, who jumped in the air, slashed down towards Shen's face only for sparks to fly as he grabbed it mid-swing. His arm was completely black and shone as the sunlight hit it. As if his arm was made of metal Shen's hand didn't budge from the impact of the blade instead, he wrapped his hands around the edge, and with a light squeeze, the pressure broke the Zanpakuto in half.

He was nearing the end of this training session for the day. There were 3 Hiyori's left, not counting the one he was fighting now surrounding him.

Ignoring the others, Shen pushed the Hiyori back, letting go of her blade, making her tumble a bit.

Without warning, he kicked the Hiyori in front of him, sending her flying backward with a collision course with a massive hill. Before she hit the mountain, Shen vanished from his position, appearing in front of her as she continued to fly.

Grabbing her face, which was covered by a mask, Shen boosted their speed as they crashed into the hill using Hiyori as a shield against the impact. A massive crater appeared in the wall cracking the entire wall of rock.

Appearing behind him, another Hiyori sent a slice to the back of his neck using her full power. Shen didn't bother turning around, gathering Armament Haki and Ki around his neck. The blade stopped the moment it touched his skin as a powerful shockwave appeared on the opposite side of the Shen, showing the force of the impact as the ground next to him shattered.

By sensing the position, the enemy was going to strike and then protecting that area with Haki, and Ki Shen had a type of shield that he could activate at a moment's notice protecting him from attacks to a certain extent. With a single movement, his speed increased as he moved behind the Hiyori before she could react, grabbing her arm and flying high into the air dragging the Hiyori with him.

The Hiyori struggled as she tried to remove his grip, slashing away while pulling only for sparks to fly. Suddenly Shen stopped flying high in the air. Shen let go of her at this moment she floated in the air for a second only to feel Shen grab her by the neck and start flying down to the ground at high speed. Before she could even attempt to break free, her throat snapped as they impacted the ground.

With that, he had killed 3 Hiyori's with the last two standing far behind him on guard. Shen smirked as he raised his hand to the two of them. A red ball of energy appeared in front of his palm. The surface of this blast looked like a red star, with it constantly changing its color patterns between yellow and red. "Big Bang Crash."

Firing the ball of energy ripped through the ground that was in its way towards the two Hiyori's who started charging Ceros. In the next moment, they fired their Ceros to block Shen's attack only to have them disperse on impact. The two Hiyori's fired multiple Ceros only for the blast to unfazed.

The moment it was about to hit the two of them, one Hiyori got out of the way fleeing away from the area while the other one took the hit. The moment the Big Bang Crash touched the Hiyori, it exploded into a massive ball of energy still looking like a red star devouring the two of them.

'Well, it looks like I've reached that point again.'

Whenever Shen trains against an opponent for a long enough time, he eventually reaches an apex were the opponent is no longer able to challenge him, and he can kill them quickly. On the side, Shen realized he was becoming more and more merciless as he got stronger, although he didn't care. 'Well, they do say power changes people.' Opening his stats, Shen was happy with what he saw.

Shen made sure to reserve his SP during training, only buying Armament Haki and the Sharingan when he had enough. He found using only Ki to protect himself wouldn't always be a good option, so he ended up getting Armament Haki. As for the other Haki's, he would get them later. They were not as important at the moment.

'3000 SP remaining, huh? Shen wanted to use this amount carefully after all now that his level was higher the amount of SP he got dropped again. In the beginning, he was making tons of SP, but as his levels rose, the SP fell quickly. Adding his Sharingan cost and Armament Haki and Big Bang Crash, he made around 7000 SP during these past few days.

'Those were the quickest sixteen days of my life. Shen had one more day until Ichigo would leave the Human World and head into Soul Society.' Shen felt he was ready, but he also thought he should spend the rest of his SP now while he had the chance. Shen had wanted a weapon for quite a while, but the decision always got him stuck there were many op weapons out there.

Like Akame's Murasame, that could one-shot things due to its deadly curse. But things like that were more expensive than some of the more godly abilities out there.

With prices being the main problem, an Idea came to Shen's mind. Shen had never watched Fate mostly due to how confusing everything looked, however, there was one character he was interested in.

That character was Gilgamesh. 'If I remember, he could summon weapons from his vault or something like that.' Shen only had a basic understanding of his abilities from seeing short clips or reading about him on random sites. Still, just from his memory, he felt that ability would be perfect for his situation.

Even if he was up against a Zanpakuto, he would never run out of weapons to use, and if he could somehow combine it with his Flying Thunder God Technique.

'Hehe.' Just the thought of the combination made Shen laugh in his head. With a smile on his face, Shen searched the Shop, which caused his smile to fall immediately. 'What the hell! What kind of price is that its a rip off a straight rip off!' The price was quickly over ten thousand making him feel like crying.

'Even if I sold all my Techniques for their base price, I wouldn't have enough.' Shen couldn't help but hate these ridiculous prices at times. After counting the zeros again, Shen didn't even bother looking at it again. "Well, I might as well forget about that."

Shen spent his time outside of Training, thinking about the weapon he would use. It felt as if he was browsing through Netflix regularly skipping over hundreds of different weapons due to them looking so bland. Suddenly Shen came to a stop with his eyes widening slightly.

Thinking as he looked at it, he searched he shop going to a different section. The Shop gave Shen a 3D image of the weapon, and although he could use the price as a way to determine its quality, it didn't mean it was a very effective way to do so.

Shen's imagination began to come into play. The thought of combining these this ability with the weapon he was looking at now was already deadly, then the idea of adding Haki and Ki made it even worse.

'Even better, the two of them are affordable.'
