"Look at you, what are you saying? If I'm not alive, can I be dead then?"
Takeshi emerged from the Garganta.
Snap!
Takeshi snapped his fingers, and the Garganta quickly closed.
Bang!
Seeing Takeshi appear, Alazam couldn't help but retreat two steps, shouting with a face full of disbelief, "Impossible! You couldn't possibly withstand my roar!"
Takeshi nodded. Then, his gaze swept around, looking at the terrifying destruction caused by the roar.
"Yes. As expected of a Dragon's roar, its power is indeed terrifying. If it had hit me head-on, I would definitely be dead by now. But if I can't block it, can't I at least avoid it?"
When Alazam was about to use his roar, Takeshi had quickly transformed into Ulquiorra.
Espada-level ones have a universal skill.
Descorrer.
A skill that allows them to open a Garganta, enabling them to move freely between the Human World and Hueco Mundo by tearing space.
Takeshi had used this skill to temporarily tear space and hide in the spatial rift. After the roar ended, he returned.
This move had one drawback: its activation speed was relatively slow.
Fortunately, Alazam's wind-up for his roar was also quite long, so it was enough for him to hide in the spatial rift.
"Alright, let's quickly start the second round. This state consumes a bit too much magic power, and my time is very precious."
Just now, he had taken Yoriichi's form. Yoriichi's normal state consumed very little, but once he went all out, the consumption was actually terrifying.
Especially those seemingly simple slashes. Those were attacks where magic power was compressed and condensed to the extreme. Each strike consumed a lot of magic power.
As Takeshi spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto and chanted his Resurrección release command.
"Enclose. Murcielago."
A black Reiatsu surged from Takeshi, shooting straight into the sky.
The originally clear, cloudless sky suddenly became overcast, and the entire world darkened. Immediately after, a large amount of black raindrops fell from the sky.
Everyone present had seen this scene before, but each time they saw it, they were incredibly shocked.
Soon, the anomaly disappeared, and Takeshi transformed into his first Resurrección form.
Seeing Takeshi in this form, Alazam gnashed his teeth, and sneered, "Kid, I've seen this form of yours. Your swordsmanship in this form is just average, your strength is very low, and you are no match for me at all."
Alazam provoked Takeshi with his words. As long as Takeshi dared to transform into his previous form, he would fly into the air and attack with his roar, bullying Takeshi who couldn't fly into the sky in his Yoriichi form.
Takeshi said, "Hmm, you're right, but did you forget a very important point? If you were in your peak state, I definitely wouldn't attack in this form, but you are severely injured right now."
"Also, who told you that this form of mine is weak? Ulquiorra is the strongest Hollow in my heart, and I won't allow you to insult him."
"However, since you think this form is weak, then I'll bring out an even stronger form."
Takeshi softly chanted, "Resurrección Segunda Etapa."
An even more terrifying Reiatsu erupted from Takeshi, with a bluish-black Reiatsu radiating around him, impacting the surroundings.
Many people shielded themselves with their arms.
Takeshi's upper body clothes slowly disappeared. His abdomen to his legs, as well as his arms and back, were covered in black feathers. The lower part of his robe split into two halves, like black coattails.
His wings fully spread, revealing bat claws, the horns on his helmet grew longer and sharper upwards, a long black tail grew from behind his buttocks. His feet transformed into sharp claws, and a black hole appeared on his chest, through which the scene behind could be seen.
"This… this is… Takeshi?"
Everyone was somewhat frightened by Takeshi's transformation.
Alazam said, "Kid, do you think transforming makes you my match? You can't sustain this form for too long with your magic power. Otherwise, you wouldn't have just killed five Nine-Star Magical Creatures and then gone back to rest."
After being severely injured, Alazam's mind seemed to clear up a lot, even recalling Takeshi's previous performance in the magical creature attack.
Takeshi nodded. "Yes. With my current magic power, this form can only be maintained for a little over a minute."
Alazam was overjoyed upon hearing this. "One minute? Hahahahaha! Only one minute? Kid, it looks like you're destined to die here today. After one minute, I'm going to torture you properly, making you wish you were dead but unable to die."
Alazam was extremely excited. He hated this human who had severely injured him. A mere human had made him taste fear. He vowed to get revenge for this great humiliation.
"One minute!"
Upon hearing Takeshi's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little despair.
Could Takeshi really kill the Dragon in one minute?
If the minute ended and he still hadn't defeated the Dragon, then all of them would be doomed.
Takeshi said indifferently, "One minute is enough to deal with you."
Almost as soon as Takeshi's words fell—
"How boastful…"
Whoosh!
Takeshi appeared in front of Alazam's large face. His body rapidly spun, then he kicked Alazam in the face.
Bang!
Alazam's massive body was sent flying sideways after being kicked by Takeshi.
"Ahhhh!"
Takeshi stomped, flapped his wings, and rapidly flew towards Alazam. In the blink of an eye, he caught up, then kicked downwards with his foot.
Boom!
"Argh!!"
Alazam let out a scream, his entire body plummeting to the ground, creating a huge crater. Takeshi's attack had landed squarely on his wound.
Before Alazam could react, Takeshi grabbed his tail with both hands.
"Get up!"
Then he spun forcefully, and swung around Alazam's body.
Immediately after, Takeshi let go, and Alazam's body flew away.
Boom!
Alazam's body crashed into a small mountain, creating a large crater in the mountain.
"Cough!"
Alazam coughed blood.
His body was already severely injured, and Takeshi's continuous physical attacks added more injury to his wounds. If it weren't for the tenacious vitality of a dragon, he might have already died by now.
Looking at Takeshi rapidly approaching, Alazam opened his mouth and spewed out a violent dragon's breath.
Swish!
Takeshi continuously used Sonído, dodging the dragon's breath while rapidly advancing, and in a flash, he was once again in front of Alazam.
"You damned little insect!"
Alazam lunged at Takeshi, but grabbed nothing but air.
Takeshi appeared behind Alazam, his index finger pointed at him. Black energy continuously condensed at the tip of his finger.
Cero Oscuras!
