Fate in Bleach: Unlimited Blade Works [Isekai]

Chapter 39 – Bankai – Heaven Piercing Sword



"Oh? Third Seat Kōga’s stomach is still quite beyond my imagination. I thought I had already made him angry." Hearing Kōga’s roar, Ailin shook his head and smiled.

"Humph, I hope your mouth will still be so hard later!" Kōga was speechless for a moment, his face even stiffened, and finally only uttered another vicious remark. Then, wielding his Zanpakuto, his figure kept flashing as he charged at Ailin.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In a few flashes, Kōga had already appeared in front of Ailin, slashing his Zanpakuto directly at Ailin.

"Wind Scar!"

Ailin waved his left hand, and three sky-piercing wind slashes tore through the air, instantly submerging Kōga. But the next moment, the Kōga that was slashed by Ailin instantly turned into an afterimage. On the other side, Kōga’s figure appeared on Ailin's right, slashing his Zanpakuto at Ailin again.

"Azure Dragon Break!"

With lightning flashing in his right hand, a purple thunder dragon tore Kōga’s figure apart.

Boom!

The purple thunder dragon and wind slashes wreaked havoc on the 7th Division again. Unfortunately, Ailin’s two powerful moves did not truly hit Kōga.

After using illusions to deceive Ailin's attacks three or five times, Koga's real body appeared behind Ailin, slashing his Zanpakuto directly at Ailin.

Crackle!

Unfortunately, Kōga’s slash did not truly attack Ailin either. A circle of purple barriers appeared around Ailin, blocking Kōga’s attack.

Whoosh!

The next moment, two rays of blade lights flashed by as Ailin slashed Koga's body into two halves. But then this body shattered like an afterimage.

Ailin's expression congealed slightly. He knew that the reason why he had slashed Koga’s illusions several times was because he had already been affected by Koga's ability.

This was the true power Koga had talked about. Although Ailin had been cautious earlier, he did not regard it as a formidable threat.

Don't forget, apart from what Ailin knew about Kōga Hoshino's, no, that person was called Kōga Kuchiki, abilities from before his transmigration, Ailin had also created Muramasa on the night he was thrown into 9th Division's prison.

When Ailin grasped Muramasa, he already knew about the trump card ability Kōga viewed it as.

Muramasa's true ability was to invade a Shinigami's inner world and provoke their Zanpakuto through words or force, magnifying their dissatisfaction towards their master or their love for battle, achieving the goal of controlling the opponent. And this ability was bred from Kōga’s own innate power.

It was an ability that could invade the enemy's body through one's Reiatsu and make the enemy produce “visual discrepancies”, similar to but not as powerful as Aizen's Complete Hypnosis.

Even so, it was enough to demonstrate the formidable might of Koga’s ability. It was just a pity that Ailin had only created Muramasa for a few days after all. Gaining more of Koga’s information through Muramasa was already Ailin's current limit.

If Ailin was given more time to fully absorb Kōga’s experiences, defeating him would naturally not be difficult. But now, after being continuously eating dirt a few times, Ailin could feel how tricky this ability was.

He couldn't defeat Kōga relying on Tessaiga and Bakusaiga while affected by Koga's ability.

Crackle crackle crackle...

Crack!

This time in battle, the Zanpakuto Ailin released was his true Zanpakuto, "Unlimited Blade Works".

Thus, when using other weapons’ special moves, Ailin only needed to separately release one-tenth of those weapons' Bankais.

As such, Azure Dragon Break and Wind Scar were unleashed continuously in Ailin’s hands, with endless thunder and wind roars.

Unfortunately, these attacks still did not truly strike Koga. On the flip side, beneath Kōga’s assaults, the sheath on Ailin’s waist had already cracked open with several fissures.

Once Tessaiga's sheath shattered, with his protective barrier gone while facing Koga’s attacks, Ailin would definitely be injured.

Thinking so, the Tessaiga and Bakusaiga in Ailin’s hands dissipated into spirit particles.

No, it wasn't just the longswords in his hands. The entire “sword forest” around Ailin had turned into spirit particles as well, reclaimed by Ailin back into his Reality Marble.

"Oh?"

Seeing this scene, Kōga’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What's wrong? Realized the gap between us so you want to surrender?"

The barrier around Ailin made it very difficult for Kōga to attack Ailin. But obviously, Kōga had also noticed the weakness in Ailin’s barrier. After several attacks, the sheath bearing that barrier was already on the verge of collapse.

"Third Seat Kōga, when did you start harboring the misconception that you surpassed me? I won't deny that your ability is indeed extraordinary. At least the current me still hasn't found a way to expose your real body. However..."

Ailin stretched out a hand as concentric ripples undulated before Ailin's right hand, a Zanpakuto extending out from the ripples' center that Ailin gripped with his hand.

"Shine—!"

As Ailin shouted out, the Zanpakuto in his hand transformed into what seemed like a mirror-like double-edged straight sword.

"Third Seat Kōga, your ability has a range limit right?"

Ailin looked towards Kōga, not caring whether the current Kōga was an illusion or the real body, "Judging from your previous few attacks, the distance between each of your illusions and real body wouldn't exceed ten meters. Tell me, if my attack range has a radius of three hundred meters around me, how much effect would your ability still have?"

"What?"

Under Kōga’s horrified gaze, Ailin raised the mirror-like straight sword high overhead with both hands.

"Bankai - Heaven Piercing Sword!"

Heaven Piercing Sword originated from the Sword Art Online: Alicization arc's Integrity Knight Fanatio's weapon that Ailin retained memories of.

Its initial release "Armament Full Control Art" could absorb the surrounding spirit particles and fire them as laser attacks at the enemy.

Its final release "Memories Release" could absorb massive amounts of spirit particles from the surroundings for concentrated laser bombardment over a wide area around the user, as well as condense those lasers into an overwhelmingly powerful pillar of sacred light to smash the enemy.

What Ailin was currently displaying was Heaven Piercing Sword's power after Memories Release. With Ailin at the center, massive amounts of spirit particles converged onto Ailin's Heaven Piercing Sword, causing it to look like a miniature sun.

Then in an instant, this "mini sun" blossomed with countless rays of light, irradiating in all directions.

Boom Boom Boom!
