"I'm just average. Compared to you old guy, my little bit of deviousness is nothing at all. At least I perform my sneak attacks right in the open."
Kael casually fiddled with the dagger-sized Zanpakuto. Although Shinsō didn't have an absolute ability like Kyoka Suigetsu, it was indeed a very dangerous blade.
Anyone facing it had to stay 120% focused, or being struck would truly happen in the blink of an eye.
And as long as a sneak attack succeeded, the lethal poison left in the opponent's body would dissolve them in seconds, down to the cellular level.
"Old man, just stay on the side. I'll handle all these guys myself."
Kael said to Makarov. He knew Makarov's health wasn't good, especially his heart. If an intense battle caused the old man to have a sudden heart attack, he might even die.
Makarov shook his head firmly: "No! If these were ordinary opponents it would be fine, but the enemy is the strongest guild, Grimoire Heart. It's too difficult for you alone."
"Don't be in such a hurry, old man. At least wait until after I've fought a bit to say that."
"Hey! You three, come play with me!"
"Play? Brat, you can all disappear together."
Bluenote raised his palm and cast his magic. A powerful force of gravity pressed down on Kael and Makarov. This was Bluenote's gravity suppression, which suppressed opponents by increasing the gravity of the surrounding atmosphere.
"This is... gravity!!"
Makarov felt this powerful gravity. This guy was also an incredible opponent.
Swish————!
Kael pointed his Zanpakuto at Bluenote and instantly extended it for a thrust.
Bluenote's expression changed, and his body dodged rapidly.
"Dark Helix!"
Jose had been looking for a chance to kill Kael and Makarov all along, and now was the perfect time to strike.
Shunpo!
Swish————!
Kael's body instantly appeared beside Jose, swinging his blade to slash at him.
Jose's face twisted, and he was forced to change his direction of attack.
Swish————!
Kael's body appeared in the distance.
"Butō!"
Swish———!!
Shinsō rapidly extended again, piercing toward Hades.
Hades dodged quickly and simultaneously released black chains to entangle Shinsō.
"Ghost Arrows!"
Hades raised his hand and released a large number of purple-black ghost arrows toward Kael.
As Shinsō instantly retracted, Kael's body moved backward.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
The ghost arrows landed on Kael's previous position, causing a massive series of explosions.
"Butō!"
Kael's Shinsō rapidly expanded and contracted again, forcing Jose to dodge in a hurry.
"Gravity Strike!"
Bluenote swung his fist, releasing horizontal gravity into the air.
Rumble————!
A powerful impact rushed toward Kael.
Bang!
Kael couldn't dodge in time and was pushed back by this powerful impact.
"Kael!"
Makarov saw Kael being attacked and couldn't help but worry. He immediately prepared to step in. He couldn't just stand by and watch his child fight the enemy while he did nothing.
Makarov swung a fist toward Hades.
Hades raised his palm and opened a magic barrier.
Boom————!
Makarov's fist struck the barrier.
The earth shook, but the barrier firmly blocked Makarov's fist without a single crack.
Kael's feet slid across the ground, and he soon stopped.
"Brat! The attack speed of that weapon of yours is indeed fast, but as long as we focus our attention, your attacks won't succeed." Bluenote said calmly.
"Sigh! I'm still suffering from the disadvantage of appearing too early!"
Kael patted the dust off his clothes. The attack just now didn't cause much damage to Kael; it was only at the level of getting his clothes slightly dirty.
Like in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, everyone got power-ups one after another, but Gin Ichimaru went offline early in the Arrancar arc.
Gin at that time couldn't be called weak; he could at least suppress a Hollowified Ichigo. In fact, if Gin had the heart for it, Ichigo would have died to the lethal poison of Gin's Bankai the moment he was wounded.
But in terms of raw stats, Gin was still far below Ulquiorra's first release. Ulquiorra's first release was already enough to crush Hollowified Ichigo.
Suppression and crushing—the difference was very vast.
Gin's strongest point was undoubtedly the lethal poison in his Bankai that could dissolve a physical body.
"Dealing with three Ten Wizard Saint-level guys in this form really is a bit troublesome."
To be honest, he didn't like this way of fighting. He preferred crushing others with pure stats. But these old guys were all shameless; they were so old that their magic power was as high as monsters, and they were bullying him for having lower magic power and using superior numbers.
"Then let's have someone else take the stage. With my current magic power, I should barely be able to drive that form."
"Full Take Over: Minato Namikaze!"
Kael shouted softly. His body underwent a change. His silver hair turned yellow, and his squinted eyes gradually opened. The black Shihakusho was replaced with blue clothes and a green Jonin vest. The white Captain's haori with the character for 'three,' representing the Captain of the 3rd Division of the Gotei 13, was replaced with a white Hokage cloak with the words 'Fourth Hokage' written on it.
"Another new transformation?!"
Everyone saw Kael's appearance change and was also shocked.
This guy had too many transformations.
"Brat, no matter what you turn into, you're dead for sure this time."
At this time, Makarov was fighting with Hades.
Makarov quickly performed magic hand signs. For many great magics, especially powerful ones, complicated hand signs or magic chants are required.
Chants and signs can increase the power of magic, just like the incantations for Kido in Bleach.
"Do you want to resist me? Brat."
Hades's finger slid, and a complex magic circle was completed in an instant.
Makarov was shocked when he saw it: "Amaterasu: Formula 28 magic circle?! In just an instant?! This is too fast!"
"You can't win against me."
BOOM—————!!
As soon as Hades finished speaking, he immediately detonated the magic circle.
"Ughhh! Hah!!"
Makarov used his own magic power to bounce the Amaterasu: Formula 28 circle away.
"Hmph!"
Hades immediately released black magic chains from his hand, which latched onto Makarov's shoulders.
"I can dance freely with magic."
Crack crack!
Hades swung his hand casually. Makarov's body smashed through several trees and then shattered a giant boulder.
"Gah!!"
Just as Makarov was preparing to get up.
Shua shua shua———!!
Complex magic circles that he almost didn't even recognize appeared around Makarov's body.
"What... what is this?!!"
Although Makarov didn't recognize this magic, he could feel how dangerous this magic was.
"Maximum Defense Seal: Three Pillar Gods!!"
Three pillars made of magic runes appeared around Makarov's body. This was Makarov's strongest defensive magic. Its solid defense could not be broken even by attacks that could destroy cities or islands.
"Disappear! Brat!"
"Amaterasu: Formula 100!"
BOOM—————!!!
An incredibly terrifying impact appeared, and half the island was affected. The terrifying shockwave tore through the earth and trees. Everything was destroyed in this terrifying impact.
