Chapter 178 - 178: Submission

Hold on!

Oswell cried out in his heart as his inky black Reiatsu surged like a raging tide, rapidly engulfing his bone armor.

Crack!

A sharp, resounding shatter suddenly echoed.

Did it hold...?

Encased in white sand, Oswell felt a fleeting moment of relief.

But in the next instant, as a searing pain shot across his face, his smile vanished without a trace.

"I still couldn't block it! This Shinigami is too strong!"

He gritted his teeth, the crushing force distorting his face beneath the mask.

Masatsuki Aozaki seized his face and mercilessly lifted him high above his head once more. Then, with a powerful swing of both hands, he hurled Oswell like a bowling ball thrown with all his might—straight into the horde of Hollows gathered on the Las Noches side.

A series of heavy thuds followed. Several powerful and high-ranking Adjuchas were instantly reduced to nothing but a mist of crimson blood.

Oswell's body crashed through multiple Adjuchas before slamming hard into the sand.

Boom!

The ground trembled as a massive crater formed, sending streams of sand scattering into the air.

The three late-arriving hollow girls were left in utter shock at the sight before them.

Can this even be considered a Shinigami?

Don't Shinigami usually purify Hollows with their Zanpakutō?

But this... this was nothing short of ruthless carnage—so brutal that even they, terrifying Menos themselves, felt dwarfed in comparison!

"Hah... hah... just who are you?"

Oswell struggled to his feet, his body drenched in blood. The once-pristine white mask on his face was now shattered, revealing half of the face that had long remained hidden from the world.

Beneath the mask was a strikingly handsome man.

He wiped the blood from his face, gasping for air as if he had just survived a relentless battle.

Masatsuki Aozaki swiftly unsheathed his Banshō Senran, his fingers hooking into the slightly trembling cross-star ring blade as he pulled hard.

The blade slid smoothly from its sheath, its hilt dropping perfectly into his grip.

A ribbon as pure as snow trailed from the blade, and in the next instant, the razor-sharp edge shot forward like an arrow, striking an oncoming Adjuchas dead center.

A piercing scream rang out. In a single slash, the powerful Hollow was cleaved clean in two!

"You don't need to know who I am," Masatsuki Aozaki said coldly, his voice carrying the overwhelming authority of an absolute force. "Even if you did, it wouldn't matter."

Step by step, he advanced toward Oswell, Banshō Senran gleaming with a chilling light in his grip.

With every swing, a storm of blood rained down.

With every strike, Adjuchas who dared to stand in his way were torn apart—limbs severed, bodies crippled, left utterly incapable of continuing the fight.
