Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 85 Chapter 85

[Level 85: Fifth Level Tyrant Profound Realm Intermediate Greater Hollow. Adjuchas.]

Looks like both of them got more than they bargain for. Yun Che expected its strength was at the First level of Tyrant Profound Realm but it shifted to the fifth level. This is really bad.

“To think humans have the power to resist us. You should be honor we have decided to invade your world. It’s been a while we feed on those with nourishment.” The Adjuchas slowly opened its mouth and spoke with human tongue. Both Little Fairy and Cang Yue were shocked to see a talking hollow all of a sudden.

“Hahaha, I am impressed. Why don’t you resist me a little before I turned you into food for my strength?”

Yun Che observe the hollow from below. To think that this hollow is a realm higher than his full strength. His current strength with the Evil God and Hollow mask combined will push his strength directly to the Fourth Level of Tyrant Profound Realm. But that strength only last him 10 minutes.

Yun Che decided to play dumb and asked “Who and what are you?”

The demon Adjuchas slowly said “Hmph, If I were to named myself. You can call me Granz.”

From his voice, it sounded more to a hoarse male voice. Yun Che nodded while forming up a plan. So, to buy some time, he asked again. “How do you cultivate so fast? Its impossible for a hollow to reach this stage.”

Granz slowly floats while answering “Mortal, you seem to know about us. Haha, small creatures like you wanted to know more about me? Since, you’re going to be my food. Very well. I was like these hollows as well. But I encounter something a few months ago. I followed some humans while they entered this hidden cave underneath the mountain. When I remembered, they were looking for some treasures in it. So, encountering humans makes me wanted to eat them and assumed their strength. But, they were carrying some kind of skeleton and I detected massive amount of power came from it. So, my hollow’s instinct immediately ambushed and killed them before eating them along with that skeleton.”

Yun Che slowly understood his explanation. That’s why Granz leveled up so fast. That cave was probably belong to some ancient Tyrant Profound Realm Expert and that expert probably died in there. Looks like whoever raided that cave probably disturbed his soul causing the hollow to eat it along with the skeleton. Powering it up to its current state.

Granz slowly looked at his arm. “Then, my body suddenly evolved into this stage without having me becoming a Gillian. I was directly turned into an Adjuchas, Whatever is in that skeleton had me nourished. Haha. So, I decided to hunt more skeletons to bypass the promotions and thats where I saw that mountain. So I wanted to have whatever is in there. Probably promoted me into an evolved hollow. Haha.” Granz laughed once more along with his hollow’s voice.

Retsu still holding his hand and slowly whispered “Young master? Should we go full power?”

“Yes, looks like we have to. What is your current full power, Retsu?”

“If I use my Yin and Yang powers and my visored powers, I could directly access to the First Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm.”

Nodding in response, it’ll have to do. Then, he suddenly remembered that her bankai can power her up for another two additional realm in full power. “What about your bankai?”

“It won’t work on hollows, young master. I’ve tried it before and didn’t gain a single blood points. They don’t have blood and their body is spiritual. Otherwise, I could overwhelm it with blood points alone.” She slowly sighs as her bankai is currently useless in this kind of situation.

“If you don’t have any blood points, you can’t cast the World of Slaughter domain. Damn, looks like we need to do this the hard way.” He slowly said and she only nodded as she understood his intention.

“EHHH, he’s far too strong man!!! What are we going to do?!?” Kon suddenly yelled from his shoulder.

“Calm down, you dolt. I am working on it.” Then, he turned to both Little Fairy and Cang Yue. He can see that Cang Yue was scared out of her wits as she faced stronger opponent this time.

“You two, when I give the signal, disperse and get those gillians off our backs. We might go full strength and have those hollows on our back. We’re counting on you to get them off. But, whatever happens after this, we’ll explain later.”

“What are you going to do?” Little Fairy asked him. But, he didn’t answer and just give her a wink before drawing Zangetsu once more.

“Hmm, you humans still resist under in my domain. Then, why don’t you die so I can get whatever is in that mountain.” Granz suddenly dives towards them at maximum speed to kill both of them and eat their vitality.

“Not yet. Kon, hold on to my arm.” Kon hold on as hard as he can to Yun Che’s arm. Whatever he’s going to do is probably something big.

When Granz is in range. He immediately shouted “NOW!!!!, BANKAI!!!!” Both of them shouted at the same time causing massive amount of black and red light suddenly covering the whole area by storm. Granz immediately covered his eyes but before he could even react to the light. He felt a powerful strike coming from its stomach.

BANGG!!!

“ARRGGHH!!” The hollow was immediately sent flying towards a faraway area from the center. Both Little Fairy and Cang Yue covered their eyes to block the incoming light. When the light dies down, both of them shocked once more as they unfold the scene unfolding in front of them.

Both Yun Che and Retsu had their fists pointed out in front of them and holding their sword in the other hand. Turns out, both of them sent the hollow flying just now with his right fist at the same time Retsu was using her left fist while leaning on each other’s shoulders. Kon was hugging Yun Che’s left arm to avoid him from getting blown away by the rampaging energy.

Yun Che and Retsu finally transformed into their ultimate form. Retsu was wearing the shihakushou she wore during the palace banquet but her sword transformed into a small black blade with red linings and had a red slaughter aura around her.

Yun Che was wearing much more different outfit compare what he was wearing before during the banquet. Cang Yue might not recognize it but Little Fairy recognized this outfit as clear as day as this is the outfit he wore during their first encounter three months ago. This is his first bankai, the bankai that shattered her ice heart and causing her chaotic feelings three months ago. If he came to the Asgard one day, she’ll make sure he never unleashes his bankai in the sect or he’ll cause greater trouble there. She even recognizes the chained sword he was holding.

However, the most shocking thing was they saw Yun Che’s face was covered with a skull white mask with red markings on its left side while Retsu had a different white mask but the red linings were different compared to him. The mask was more like a fox’s mask. Their eyes widen once more when they saw black fox-like ears above her head and three massive black fox tails behind her.

Both Yun Che and Retsu transformed into their bankai state. They decided to go full strength to push the hollow away from the center. The reason they go full strength was to separate it from Little Fairy and Cang Yue before it uses them as leverage. This is the disadvantage of bringing a weaker party member. They will team up and face the hollow together but letting Little Fairy and Cang Yue out of the fight.

Seeing their hollowfied or visored state, the shocked Little Fairy slowly asked “Who are you both exactly?” Seeing these two, they mastered haki, unique kido arts and had a pervert as a summoned beast. How many more secrets they had? Their aura, they also had the same as the aura of a hollow.

Yun Che shift his mask aside and said with his hollowfied voice. “I know you have questions but we’ll explain later. We don’t have much time and that Adjuchas might recover anytime. Right now, we need both of your help. Little Fairy, Cang Yue. Now that we unleashed our bankai, all those low level hollows will swarm our back. We will engage that hollow while you two keep those things from our back.”

The two girls were still shocked and stunned. But, Yun Che simply tapped their shoulder to wake them up “Stop stopping. We’re counting on you girls.”

Then, he turned to Kon who was still hugging his arm. “Kon, I need you to watch their back. Kill as much low level hollows as you can.”

“Aye, aye, sir.” Kon responded while saluting before transforming into his winged lion form.

Nodding to them, he shifts his mask back to his face and turned towards Retsu. “Let’s go Retsu. It’s been a while since we fought together.”

“Hai, I missed our bonding time. Young master.” She slowly said in her hollowfied voice before disappearing into the horizon alongside Yun Che to where Granz flew just now.

The stunned girls slowly regained their bearings as they face the army of gillians. Cang Yue was still in shocked but decided to satisfy her curiosity. “Sister YueChan, their aura, it was more like them.”

Little Fairy shook her head and said “I don’t know, only when those mask appeared their aura changed. Before this, they’re human.”

Cang Yue looked over the horizon. “So, they can assume forms of those things?”

“Like I said I don’t know, sister Yue. Whatever it is, let’s ask them when this is all over. Kon, watch our back.” She sigh once more before focusing on task in hand. She had a lot of question to ask after this.

“Hai..Hai…If the boing nee chans are counting on me, there’s no way I could say no. By the way, those two really didn’t tell them about the Shinigami part? Looks like only Jasmine nee-san knows about it. I am sure they had their own reason.” Kon nodded to himself before flew back to Little Fairy and Cang Yue.

They sent Granz quite far from the original position. This is because they punched the hollow’s abdomen with full strength while coated their hands with haki. The force was enough to shattered its armored skin but wasn’t enough to destroy it fully as their cultivation was still weak.

“Those two mortals, they caught me off guard. Wait till I get my hands on…” The hollow regains its bearing and wanted to flew back to them. Before it could react, both Yun Che and Retsu arrived near it and causing it to risen its reaitsu as a sign of anger. They still under their visored and bankai when they arrived. It might be a level higher but it was still stronger than them.

“What are you two? You two have our aura but at the same time you two are mortal.” The adjuchas stared at them with full interest. Never expected a human able to retain their humanity after transforming into one of them.

Yun Che swings his sword towards Granz. “Who knows? We’re not even sure ourselves.”

Granz remembered that humans in this world could cultivate. They were able to get this strong after consuming one of them. “Hmph, to think mortals are so brazen. Thinking yourselves above us just because you could cultivate.”

“Then, let me test the strength of an Adjuchas.” Yun Che and Retsu proceeded on attacking the adjuchas at full force. Their sword swings clash with the Adjuchas’s arm and body at high speed. Both of them planned their attacks accordingly as Yun Che’s visored form only last him for about 10 minutes and a couple of minutes have passed. If he failed, then his strength will be reduced back to the Seventh Level of the Emperor Profound Realm. That’s far from what he could handle.

Their clashes caused multiple explosions in the sky as both of them clashed with the Adjuchas. Despite having the difference in strength, both of Yun Che and Retsu didn’t suffer any disadvantage. They didn’t fight like those typical novel fighters where they face head on and lose because of a single level. They didn’t forget that they have advantage in speed, kido arts as well as evasion.

Little Fairy and Cang Yue were slicing up Menos in a quick pace as well. She decided to handle the higher stage gillians while Cang Yue handle the lower level Menos. Kon in the meantime keep those low level hollows from reaching them. She watched the explosions in the sky were occurring faster than the eye could see. Little Fairy clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as she watched from below and couldn’t do anything to help them. She might be stronger in terms of cultivation but those two are far stronger than her and her strength limit is only limited to her current cultivation. She didn’t have any boosted abilities like those two. But at least, she could protect their back from the gillians.

Yun Che and Retsu’s speed were faster than the eye could see as they executed their Sonido and Flash Step at the same time. The Adjuchas might be powerful but it also gained intelligence instead of instinct fighting. Both of their attacks are connecting together and their teamwork was flawless as they attack it instead of typical attacking strategy.

“Getsuga Tenshou!!!” Yun Che immediately launched a getsuga towards it causing it to avoid regardless the situation. Since Retsu cultivated the Observation Haki to the maximum, she immediately uses the future prediction and enable her to see the next appearance of the Adjuchas. Locking on, she immediately executes her sonido and arrived at the arrival point before coated her leg with haki.

“HOW?!?” Granz arrived at the point but instead of getting a breathing room, he was smashed immediately by a roundhouse kick from Retsu directly on its torso causing it to stumbled back. Retsu’s visored mode enable her to gain six realms of additional strength once she broken through Sky Profound Realm as each tail enable her to increase her strength by two realms. Even if she can’t use her blood points, she was still deadly because of her haki.

“How do you know where I am going to appear?” The adjuchas floats in the sky as it observes Yun Che and Retsu’s teamwork.

Retsu simply replied “We just predicted your movement.”

“So it’s like that. You might be powerful but I am still stronger.” With that, Granz immediately channeled his reaitsu towards the crack of its armor and it immediately healed as if nothing happened to it in the first place.

“Damn, high speed regeneration. I only have another three minutes left before the mask runs out.” Hollow in the intermediate stage can use the high speed regeneration method to heal its damage. Retsu couldn’t even use the power of her bankai to combat hollows because they didn’t even bleed in the first place so Minazuki couldn’t absorb any blood.

“Is there any way for you to use it again. Young master?” She asked him as his hollow mask is quite different from her. She was able to hold her mask for a longer time but if it shattered in the battlefield. She need some time as well to reconstruct the mask.

“Yes, it has an interval of five minutes before I can activate it again. Looks like it’s all or nothing.” Yun Che immediately channeled his Spirit Force into a ball of red energy. This is the first time he used this kind of energy this much. From the system’s hud, it deducted 10000 of his spirit force to form this attack.

The Adjuchas saw the ball of packed and concentrated energy on his hand and decided not to take a hit. Suddenly in formed a shield around its body to prevent Yun Che from getting closer. He immediately executed Broken Shadow Flash and coordinate his attacks with Retsu. She decided to use her red signature sword waves to harass the Adjuchas and form a window for Yun Che to smashed his attack on it.

Under Retsu’s continuous harassment, the hull integrity of its shield slowly went down and they can see visible cracks on it. Yun Che immediately smashed Tensa Zangetsu in his left arm on its shield.

“Hmph, as long as I am under this shield. You can’t smash me with that powerful attack of yours. Your sword wave only works if you swing your sword.” The Adjuchas was referring to Yun Che’s Getsuga Tenshou. That attack and Retsu’s blood waves were harassing it nonstop and it was really annoyed by them.

“Oh really, what about now?” Yun Che and Retsu pressed Tensa Zangetsu as well as Minazuki on the shield. Then, he suddenly put his index and middle fingers from his other hand and immediately send the energy ball into Tensa Zangetsu. His action was soon followed by Retsu who was concentrating blue and red energy before compressing it into a tiny energy ball. She too sends the compressed energy ball into her sword. Their action causes the swords to glow in red before pulsing with power. This action causes the Adjuchas to widen its yellow eyes in panic. However, it was too late when it heard Yun Che and Retsu’s next action.

Then, they muttered slowly “Bijuu Dama Getsuga Tenshou.” Suddenly, a giant dome of black red energy suddenly decimating anything underneath their sword. The energy was slowly getting lager before…

BOOMMM!!!!!

The explosion was so large that it created a big mushroom cloud shooting high up in the sky. Both of them immediately flashed step into the distance to avoid getting caught in the explosion. Both Little Fairy and Cang Yue were stumbled from their fighting as they turned their eyes towards the source of the explosion.

“What is going on?!?” Kon was stumbled from the tremor as well.

Cang Yue was stumbled and turned her eyes towards the mushroom cloud. “What kind of battle are they fighting over there?”

Little Fairy turned as well and avoided the hollow ganking on her. “I don’t know. But it’s not a battle we could join.”

Yun Che and Retsu floating up in the sky before his mask slowly dissipates itself. “Looks like my mask’s time is up. The cool down is five minutes. That was a powerful attack huh?” Then, he could feel the Great Way of the Buddha slowly restored 20% of his stamina, HP and spirit force. Just now, he actually created a concentrated energy of the Evil God third art. The Destroying Sky Decimating Earth and concentrated it into a ball of energy. Instead of smashing it onto his enemy, the channeled it into Tensa Zangetsu from releasing a dome shaped Getsuga Tenshou he learned from Hoyuu before. The same thing can be said for Retsu as well. But she used the Bijuu Dama to create her own version.

Retsu said with a tired tone. “But young master, it’s quite tiring to use it. Let’s go help Sister YueChan and Sister Yue.”

“Yeah, but it finally did the job right? Wait, something’s not right….” His eyes widen as he didn’t hear a familiar sound. The sound played once he beat an opponent.

Retsu tilted her head to the side and asked “Ehh, what is it?”

“There’s no notification. Be on your guard. It might be…” Suddenly he felt a spiking reaitsu came from the mushroom cloud.

“SHOOO”

A giant red energy beam suddenly shot out from the mushroom cloud towards them. Seeing its size, Yun Che immediately stood in front of Retsu and deployed the Evil God Second Art.

“Sealing Cloud Locking Sun” A blood red sphere shaped barrier suddenly formed and covers both of them immediately. The red energy beam hit the barrier directly before slowly cracking it. The beam pushed their sphere to the ground before destroying them in one go. Their barrier smashed to ground extra hard causing both of them to grunt in pain.

Notifications ringing from inside his head as he opened her eyes and tried to move his hand. “Damn, that really stings. You all right Retsu?” He slowly getting up feeling sore and shaking all over his body. He just took on a full powered attack from the Tyrant Profound Realm hollow. He immediately drank the health and mana potion in one go and restored his body to full health. If he didn’t have these potions, he will be exposed to Hollow Possession Mode and it might be bad. The cero destroyed his bankai outfit and he was left only his ragged shihakushou hakama and his left sleeve. The rest was destroyed by the cero.

“Hnn, young master. It really hurts.” Retsu was still lying on the ground and her whole body was shaking due to the pain. Even if Yun Che shield all the damage, she also took it along with him. She was still in her fox mode but her mask was totally shattered. Their wounds aren’t that big and critical due by the cero. Still it caused her haori was covered with some of her and Yun Che’s blood. Her clothes was in rags because of it.

“Here, drink this. You might feel better.” Yun Che immediately pour a bottle of health potion into her mouth. She drinks it in one go and the pain immediately went away. Because of that cero, Retsu’s body leveled up into the Seventh Level of Sky Profound Realm. Yun Che immediately hold her arm and helped her standing up. He couldn’t bear to see her getting hurt because of him and he shield all the damage for her. Despite all that, both of them face the pain together instead of letting one of them shoulder it. It’s a good thing that they covered their body and barrier with layers of Haki before their barrier shattered but it still pushed their health to critical limit.

“Why? You could teleport immediately. I shield you so you can get away.” Yun Che and Retsu detected the cero but the beam was so large and they couldn’t get away in time. He had to deployed the shield so Retsu could teleport away but instead she stood behind him and supported him.

She looked at him with warm eyes and hold his hand. “Young master, I will not let you shoulder that damage on your own. Which woman is cruel enough to see the man they love shoulder their pain while they themselves are safe. I am not one of them. I will not let the man I love shoulder all of that damage. If we’re here, we’ll do it together.”

Yun Che was shocked. Retsu’s love was too much. He slowly smiled as he looked at her lovely eyes. “Retsu….” He didn’t even say his thoughts when he detected Granz’s reaitsu was above them. His body armor was shattered and loses most of its hardened skin by the looks of it. It was regenerating slowly instead of instantaneous. The wings were full of wound and its mask were cracking all over.

“Chee, this hollow is persistent.” Yun Che holds Tensa Zangetsu once more as he slowly transformed his eyes into his matured Sharingan and stood barefooted on the ground. He stood by with his ragged hakama and left bankai sleeve on his left arm. His well toned and build up body was exposed to the world. Retsu was pretty much the same. She immediately discards her ragged haori and torn up shihakushou which exposed her jade white skin to the world as well and widen Yun Che’s eyes.

Now, she was basically the same as Yun Che. She only wore her ragged shihakushou hakama while barefooted on the ground. But she was wearing a sarashi which covers her big breasts from being exposed as it was common for female samurai to use one. It’s a good thing the cero didn’t decimate all of her clothes. Her hair was still braided but he body was covered with dirt and blood from her previously wounded body. When her mask shattered, she lost her fox mode and needed at least five minutes as well to reconstruct it. She slowly holds Bankai Mode Minazuki on her left hand and stood next to Yun Che.

Even if Yun Che is facing the hollow right now, he couldn’t help but stealing glances at her body from time to time. She was really slender underneath those clothes and she only had a sarashi supporting her breast. He couldn’t help but feeling red all over his face while maintaining his seriousness. Well, she looked really sexy to begin with. Retsu saw his expression and had a small smirk formed on her mouth. Looks like her fiancée really conscious about her body. This make her smirk in victory because she knew he was conscious about her womanly and sexual charms.

“BRAZEN MORTALS. YOU HAVE ANGERED ME AND NOW, SUFFER!!!!!!” The hollow immediately shot multiple ceros from its hand and both of them avoided it easily. But deep down, Yun Che wanted this hollow to cause some damage to his body so he can level it up. He and Retsu immediately engage in another clashing against Granz, looks like the damage he caused with Retsu just now started to weaken the Adjuchas bit by bit.

Yun Che immediately swing his sword but the Adjuchas immediately grabbed it. But, he didn’t swing it with a backup plan. Retsu immediately flashed step behind him and he immediately points his remaining palm and Retsu points her palm as well.

Then, they shouted “Dual Cast Infused Style: Hado #73: Twin Red Fire Crash Down!!!!” Both of Yun Che and Retsu’s palm were glowing with red energy before shooting off a giant modified version of the Soren Sokatsui towards the Adjuchas. Yun Che channeled the Evil God Destruction energy while Retsu use her bankai energy to shoot off the modified Kido art towards it. The giant energy overwhelms the hollow before sending it flying once more towards the forest. It wasn’t enough to defeat it as their strength right now is around the Emperor Profound Realm and it wasn’t enough to defeat it. He was buying some time for their mask to recover.

“All right, let’s keep it that way until….”

“ROOOARR!!!!” Both of them suddenly heard two loud roar in a distance. It didn’t belong to a hollow but he recognized that roar from somewhere. It belongs to a….

“Flood Dragons?” Little Fairy and Cang Yue also heard the roars in the distance. But Kon was the first one to shouted as he saw two massive shadows suddenly swing by and hovering above them. The dragons were pretty much like Yun Che encounter during the fire seed heist a year ago. But these dragons are smaller and their bodies were blue in color compared to last year. Its cultivation aura was at the Fifth Stage of Emperor Profound Realm.

The two Flood Dragons shouted in human language. “HUMANS RETURN OUR CHILD BACK TO US!!!!”

Both Yun Che and Retsu turned their eyes towards the center where Little Fairy’s party at. However, Yun Che immediately thought one thing.

He heard about the Flood Dragons from the novel and knew what it means. “Ohhh, FUCK ME!!!!!
