The other three Quinciy agreed with Bambietta.

They were Quincies drafted into His Majesty's elite squad, The Sternritters.

Their combat skills, experience and ability made them remarkable and hard to deal with.

Not many could make them as helpless as this woman in front of them.

Her instant explosive power wasn't anything worth mentioning, but she covered this hole with her fatal poison and barrier techniques.

By combining her poison and her barrier techniques with that strange use of spiritual energy to coat her needles, she created an entirely different combat skillset.

Be it defense, offense and killer techniques, she had it all.

Such an opponent irked the four of them.

Candice glared at Shinobu for a moment before turning away. She looked at the remaining Quincies and yelled.

"As Nodt! Menanice! Get your ass over here and help me kill this witch!"

Hearing her, the remaining Quincies nodded.

The tall thin man named As Nodt raised his spiritual weapon and slashed at Chad and Orihime in one fluid motion.

Orihime used her shield to "Reject" his strike.

However the latter flashed away and quickly reached Chad.

Chad was quick to react and raised his left arm that had morphed into a shield.

However suddenly a change occured.

A woman with pink hair flashed behind Chad and punched out.

Suddenly Chad was pinched in between two attacks.

"Stop!"

Ichigo roared and shot towards the woman. His body burst out with incredible speed and appeared in front of the woman.

Boom!

The woman's fist fell on Ichigo's sword.

Crack...

The crisp sound of metal breaking echoed through the air.

Ichigo was stunned to the point of not reacting to the fist going past his broken sword.

Sshh!

Before the woman could crush Ichigo's chest with her punch, Stark flashed beside him and dragged him out.

"Why the hell are you panicking on a battlefield?!"

Stark glared at Ichigo.

The latter took a deep breath to calm down. He looked at his broken sword and gripped it tightly.

Boom!

Suddenly both of them heard a loud clash.

Looking back, they saw Chad being thrown through the air. There was a faint crack on his shield.

Orihime quickly used her ability to catch him and bring him to her side.

"Watch out!"

Ichigo suddenly yelled out.

Orihime reacted quickly and ducked her head.

A light flashed above her head, slicing off a few strands of her hair.

Stark moved towards the two of them and held off As Nodt.

"Get your act together! This is a battlefield!"

However his words fell on deaf ears.

Stark was furiuos. He wanted to turn around and curse.

But his pupils shrink the instant he caught sight of the two who were injured by As Nodt.

Chad and Orihime had extreme fear on their faces. They wanted to stand on their feet, but the immense fear they were showing stopped them from doing so.

"Hey, guys, snap out of it!"

Ichigo shouted at Chad and Orihime.

However there was no response.

It was at this moment the woman attacked. She jumped up high and raised her leg before delivering a drop kick.

As Chad and Orihime were behind him Ichigo couldn't dodge. He gritted his teeth and raised his broken sword to defend.

Boom!

The kick fell on Ichigo's sword, creating a loud explosion.

The ground beneath Ichigo cracked and caved in. He could even hear the cracking of several of bones.

He still gritted his teeth and held on. A trail of blood leaked out from his mouth.

When the shocks coming from his sword faded, he fell down on his knees and coughed out blood.

The woman twisted in mid air and stepped back. She glanced at Ichigo one last time and shot towards the other battlefield.

Stark was tying down As Nodt when he sensed the other Quincy rushing in his direction.

Not good!

He quickly made a decision and retreated decisively.

However As Nodt followed him closely.

Both of the flashed through the air, one attacking and the other dodging.

With As Nodt on his trail Stark was finally cornered by the other Quincy.

This woman who looked slim and beautiful possessed terrifying brute strength.

Stark used his agility to dodge their attacks. However he was one man without a weapon.

Soon after he was struck by As Nodt.

That moment Stark experienced unprecedented fear. His body stopped working due to pure fear.

At that moment the other Quincy appeared beside him. She raised her arm and punched out.

Stark who was stunned didn't react and took the attack head on.

His chest caved in as he flew through the air. He crashed through a few snow crusted building and was buried by the rubble.

With the miscellaneous opponents out of the way the two Quincies joined the main battlefield.

All six of them stood next to each other and faced Shinobu.

"I thought your man was quite the character, but you are no worse than him."

Candice who had a rough character said solemnly.

Shinobu looked on coldly.

Now that her opponents had increased in number the danger she would be in also went up a notch.

She spread out her senses and found the situation of Ichigo and the rest.

Though they were injured, it wouldn't kill them. However it will take some time for them to dispell whatever that was affecting them.

Her lips moved slightly.

The Quincies opposite to her didn't notice this. All of them moved at the same time.

Shinobu focused. Facing enemies with remarkable abilities she dared not to slack off.

Even her strongest poison worked slowly on these Quincies. It could kill them but it would take time.

By then they could find some way to remove the poison. Like the little girl helping out Candice.

She took a deep breath. The "Breath" inside her started roll madly. Her six senses were focused to their limits, as were her Haki.

Whether she could unseal Leo depends on this battle.
