"Damn it, could it be that he was poisoned?"
Feeling that his hands and feet felt like they were frozen, Renji couldn't help but think about it.
"You noticed it, right?"
As if he had read Renji's thoughts, Ace Nott spoke, his eyes as deep as lake water, making it impossible to tell the depth.
"Do you think it's 'possibly poisonous'?"
"wrong!!"
"This is actually something you forgot a long time ago."
His tone suddenly became high-pitched, Ace Nott raised his arm, and his fingers danced unconsciously.
"Try to think about it. After you became stronger and became the vice-captain, you faced many enemies and defeated them one by one with the weapons in your hands. Isn't that a feeling that you have forgotten for a long time? Life The most important feeling in this world is called "
Speaking of this, Ace Nott's original high-pitched tone suddenly slowed down, his voice became a little deeper, and a pair of eyes flashed with a heart-stopping brilliance.
"fear!!!"
"fear."
Hearing the words spoken by the Quincy across from him, Renji's eyes flickered slightly, and an extremely ridiculous feeling arose in his heart. Would he feel fear
"It's really amazing that just a deputy captain can withstand it for such a long time. If it were just an ordinary god of death, as long as he was shot by my [arrow], he would scream and go crazy out of fear, and then he could not bear the inner torment and die. "
"For anyone struck by my arrow, all their feelings will turn to fear."
"At this time, if the enemy takes a step, will something fatal happen? If I hold the knife tightly, or draw it, raise it high, or swing it down, when the enemy is talking to me, will he be there? Casting any terrible spells while speaking? If he moves his fingers, moves his eyes, or even breathes, anything will make you suspicious and you won't be able to concentrate at all."
"But you can persevere by your own will. It's really amazing."
Ace Nott looked at Renji with obvious amazement in his eyes. As a vice-captain, Renji was really surprised at what he could do. If he were a captain, he wouldn't be too surprised by what he could do. But Renji is just a vice-captain, and he's still a vice-captain. A relatively junior vice-captain.
"But that's just surprise, far less than [fear]. Deep in your heart, you have been completely occupied by fear of me!"
"Don't be kidding me! How can something like fear be possible! Before I kill all of you Quincy, I won't have any unnecessary emotions left in my heart!"
With a kick of his feet, Renji's body rushed forward, swinging the Zanpakuto in his hand, and sliced off the Quincy's head.
"I told you that your slashing attack is ineffective against me!"
Lifting his arm slightly, the Static Blood Suit was activated instantly. With just a simple block, Ace Nott directly blocked Renji's attack. Renji's slashes were unable to break through the defense of his Static Blood Suit.
While defending, several light thorns appeared in front of Ace Nott again, and they shot into Renji's body quickly.
puff-
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Renji's body quickly retreated.
"Fear can be overcome by experience. The more powerful a person is used to fighting, the easier it is to have such an illusion. However, 'reasonable fear' is nothing. That can be overcome through will or experience. Containment, as long as there is a reason, you can get rid of that fear by cutting off the source. However, there is no real reason for fear! Because it is not based on emotion, but instinct!"
"Real fear has no reason and no boundaries, just like a lot of bugs crawling on the body. No one can get rid of instinct!"
Following Ace Nott's deep voice, Renji seemed to feel countless disgusting bugs squirming on his body in a daze. The sticky feeling was almost driving people crazy.
“Ahhhhh——”
A furious howl suddenly burst out from his mouth, and although fear flashed in Renji's eyes, he still swung the Zanpakuto in his hand without hesitation, and swung it hard at the enemy in front of him.
"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? How is it possible that your slashes are useless to me!!"
Ace Nott's tone was filled with surprise that was hard to conceal. Looking at the scars on his wrists, he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart. The slashing attack that should have been completely ineffective against him actually cut through his own body. His slashing attack was able to break through the defense of the [Static Blood Equipment]!
Huchi - Huchi -
Panting heavily, Renji's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person looked a bit ferocious.
"For someone like me, fear will only make me crazier!!"
While shouting, Renji waved his Zanpakutō in his hand and swung it fiercely.
呲—
Another wound appeared on Ace Nott's wrist. The defense of [Static Blood Equipment] was completely useless!
Renji was filled with fear, but the power of the slashes he wielded became even more astonishing. The power of each slash was much stronger than before. Every time he struck, he could leave a mark on Ace Nott's hand. Wound.
"This guy is like a mad dog. Although he is afraid in his heart, fear arouses his ferocity."
Although Renji hit his body one after another, there was no panic expression on Ace Nott's face. Even if he did break through his static blood armor defense, Renji still couldn't cause more damage to him. Those little bruises didn't matter at all.
However, if he is allowed to attack like this, it will be very troublesome even for me.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Ace Nott's movements suddenly became faster, his hands opened, and several light thorns appeared in front of him.
Pink petals suddenly floated down from the sky, and the dreamlike scene made Renji pause in his movements.
But these dreamy cherry blossoms made Ace Nott's body tighten unconsciously. In his eyes, under the dreamy scene of falling cherry blossoms, there was a murderous intention that made people's hearts tremble.
Dangdangdang——
The cherry blossoms floated down and actually blocked several of Ace Nott's thorns of light.
"Back off, Renji."
A figure appeared in front of Renji at some point. He was holding Renji's Zanpakuto in his left hand and a handle in his right hand. His tone was cold, but Renji's movements stopped immediately.
"Leave the rest to me."
The breeze blew, Byakuya Kuchiki's face remained expressionless, but there was murderous intent flowing deep in his eyes.
