Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 - 180: Spoils of Battle

"Why can't you let us live!?"

An Adjuchas roared furiously, his voice echoing through the desert.

"Why should Sung-Sun and the others be spared, while we're the ones condemned to die!?"

Another Adjuchas immediately echoed his resentment, his face twisted with anger.

"No! We don't want to die! We're even stronger than Apacci and the others—we can be far more valuable as subordinates!"

More Adjuchas began shouting, their emotions running high. Their once fearful expressions had contorted into something savage and unhinged.

Chaos erupted among the Adjuchas of Las Noches, their enraged howls rising one after another, as if they were on the verge of overturning the entire sea of sand.

Findorr, watching from the sidelines, tensed.

His expression was equally grim as he turned to Abirama and whispered,

"Abirama, this isn't good. If they start fighting, we'll use the chaos to escape. A being this powerful appearing in Hueco Mundo—we have to report this to His Majesty!"

Abirama furrowed his brows slightly before giving a small nod, signaling his understanding.

Though unease stirred within him, he chose to follow Findorr's plan.

At that moment, an overwhelming Reiatsu blanketed the desert, suffocating and oppressive.

The very air felt thick and heavy, as if an invisible force had pressed a towering mountain onto their backs, making even the simplest movements difficult.

Faced with the frenzied Adjuchas, Masatsuki Aozaki merely shook his head and said in a calm, indifferent voice,

"You have no worth alive."

Sung-Sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose, though Adjuchas themselves, held an irreplaceable place in Harribel's heart—so much so that she was willing to lay down her life for them.

Taking in the three meant gaining Harribel's allegiance, a rare Vasto Lorde-class Menos in Hueco Mundo. In essence, it was securing her loyalty.

A dozen Adjuchas—no, even dozens or hundreds—could never compare to the value of Harribel alone.

As for these Adjuchas before him? They weren't particularly strong, nor was there a Vasto Lorde willing to die for them.

To Masatsuki Aozaki, their existence simply had no value.

"Hadō No. 4: Byakurai!"

Whoosh!

A bolt of white lightning roared like a silver dragon, surging from his fingertips and streaking across the air in a dazzling arc.

It moved as fast as true lightning, so swift that the very air around it compressed, producing a deep, crackling boom.

And its target—was the figure floating in midair.

Abirama, the red-feathered, white-faced griffon, Baraggan's devoted follower!

Findorr screamed in terror, "Abirama, look out!"

A deafening explosion followed, the sheer force of the blast seeming to tear through space itself.

Blinding white lightning surged forward, nearly consuming Abirama whole.

Frozen in shock, his limbs trembled uncontrollably, as if drained of all strength. His body refused to obey him.

His face was as pale as a corpse, devoid of blood. Even his mind had stalled—he had no idea what had just happened.

At that moment, a massive Menos, resembling a sea turtle, suddenly appeared before him. Its sturdy body shielded Abirama from the fatal blast that had been mere inches from piercing his chest.

The electricity tore through the Menos' thick shell, passing straight through—only to rip into Abirama's wings!

"Findorr..."

Snapping back to his senses, Abirama crashed to the ground, gulping dryly, his throat parched.

Findorr, having completed his throw, narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't get careless just because you can fly. That man is far beyond anything we can handle."

"What a formidable knight," Masatsuki Aozaki murmured.
