Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Not Enough Pressure

"No..." Yhwach’s heart sank. His brows furrowed as he snapped his focus back, forcibly tearing himself away from the illusion.

He never imagined that, as one of the most exalted souls in existence, he could still be struck by a mental assault.

Clang!!

Just as he regained his senses, a white longsword came crashing down on his arrow.

An overwhelming force surged through his entire body in an instant. A searing, tearing pain shot through his wrist, followed by a deafening blast as the Reishi exploded.

Masatsuki Aozaki, sword in hand, struck Yhwach like a bolt of lightning.

The blade he wielded was impossibly sharp, its unstoppable momentum cleaving straight through the Heilig Pfeil Yhwach had fired. The unleashed Reiryoku tore through Silbern like a storm, shredding it apart.

Crash...

Yhwach’s legs dragged deep trenches into the ground, skidding for hundreds of meters before he finally came to a halt. He quickly formed another arrow with both hands and fired it upward.

Clang!!

Blue streaks of light collided with the white sword’s arc, the clashing of metal echoing sharply as the two were forced apart.

Masatsuki Aozaki used the recoil to leap back and landed steadily in midair.

Looking up again, he saw the black-clad monarch raise his palm high, a blue spear forming in its center.

Whoosh...

A shrill whistle pierced the air as Masatsuki Aozaki’s speed reached its peak.

With a rising slash, his blade—capable of cutting through anything—sent the spear hurtling into the sky.

Then came a thunderous boom. The explosion of the airborne spear lit up the battlefield, so bright it forced everyone to squint.

The son of the Soul King possessed terrifying power—he could casually unleash Reiatsu that far surpassed the limits of any Shinigami.

From the sheer force of that strike, Masatsuki Aozaki gauged the enemy’s strength.

He then saw Yhwach raise his hand again—simple, direct, no unnecessary flourish. He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, turned his body slightly, and released.

Boom boom boom!!

Arrows rained down like a storm, striking the earth and igniting bursts of brilliant blue light.

The ground within that radius was obliterated, shockwaves surging like a tsunami.

Masatsuki Aozaki reacted in an instant—his figure vanished from the spot.

The explosion’s force seemed to rip through him, but it didn’t leave a scratch.

"No wonder he’s so confident against the old man, even if he’s lacking in offense and defense. Setting Zanpakutō abilities aside, their raw strength isn’t even on the same level," Masatsuki thought to himself.

He might appear consumed by bloodlust, but in truth, he remained ice-cold.

Before the blue waves had even faded, Masatsuki Aozaki spotted Yhwach leaping high into the sky, a ripple of azure spreading behind him.

Multiple Heilig Pfeils!

The future unfolded before his eyes as Masatsuki’s body turned ghostlike—and then hundreds of beams rained down from the sky.

The light beams fell in dense waves, cutting off all avenues of escape. In an instant, the ground was unrecognizable, as if divine judgment had descended to cleanse the world of impurity.

There was no way he would die that easily.

Yhwach hesitated for a moment. He hadn’t activated The Almighty, so he didn’t assume victory blindly.
