LIGHTNOVELONLINE 117 – Facing The Bount
The Bount didn't hesitate to split up dividing their enemies amongst each other. They didn't seem to be too worried about being outnumbered.
Ichigo dashed forward swinging his Zanpakuto, blocking Kariya's advance himself.
"You're not going anywhere!" He shouted.
Kariya smirked and blocked the Zanpakuto with his bare hand stopping him in place.
"What?!" Ichigo yelled out, surprised to have his attack blocked so easily.
Kariya pushed forward on Ichigo's blade sending him flying backwards until he crashed into the wall surrounding Urahara's store sending dust and chunks of brick flying around. "It won't be that easy," he said.
Ichigo quickly crawled out of the rubble and using Shunpo dashed back towards Kariya.
He swung multiple times from different angles, but each was intercepted by Kariya's index finger.
"You won't get past me!" Ichigo yelled.
Kariya shook his head. "Only one of us needs to succeed. It's just a matter of time," he said.
Renji didn't hesitate and acted the moment Ichigo went on the offensive. "Howl! Zabimaru!" He yelled transforming his katana shaped Zanpakuto into its large toothed sword whip Shikai form. He rushed towards a young male looking Bount with the fringe of his orange hair covering one of his eyes.
The Bount didn't hesitate to summon his doll on the palm of his hand. It had the head of a mouse with red fur, but its body seemed to consist of a flower.
The Bount smirked. "Ritz. Show him what you're capable off," he said.
The doll jumped from his hand and buried into the ground. It was so fast it was hard to keep track of.
Renji stared at the ground warily.
It suddenly burst out of the ground by his feet and rushed towards his head. He barely managed to turn his head avoiding a direct hit, but leaving a scratch across the side of his face that started dripping with blood.
He swung his Zanpakuto whipping the blades towards it, but it zipped between the segments and quickly buried into the ground again before he could catch it.
A large middle-aged tan male Bount with a full beard and orange fauxhawk summoned a large female Jorōgumo(Arachne) made out of metal. Its lower body was made out of large metal balls segments and spider like limbs that ended in sickle like blades while its metal upper body was shaped like a woman.
She looked around and smiled. "Ah... so many possible playthings to choose from. Who... shall... I... pick..." she said in a teasing tone.
Chad said nothing, but raised his fists and faced her fearlessly.
She looked at him and her smile widened. "Oh my... the strong silent type," she said.
Basketball sized metal balls started forming from her body and hovering around her menacingly. "Don't mind the love taps," she said sending them flying towards Chad.
Chad frowned and watched the balls closely. Before they could reach him he weaved between them towards her, deflecting those he couldn't dodge to the side with his transformed arm. As they landed on the ground they sent dirt and rocks flying in all directions from the impact.
"It looks like you can take a beating. How delightful. In that case..." she said. Her sickle blade hands transformed into the shape of gun barrels from the forearms down and she aimed both at Chad.
Some round eye-like objects with yellow sclera and red pupils tried to stealthily attack Inoue in the back.
Jinta jumped in front of her and swung his Kanabō sending the nearest ones flying away.
Ururu simply ran amongst them wearing some white and red boxing gloves, punching and kicking them away. Her pink and white polka dotted skirt fluttering behind her.
"Baigon! Hinagiku! Lily! Santen Kesshun... I reject!" Inoue shouted.
Three of the leaves on the silver flower hairpins in her hair glowed golden and flew out from it in streaks of golden light, before connecting and forming a triangle of gold light shielding herself and Tessai from the few eyes that managed to get past Jinta and Ururu causing them to slam into it futilely.
While they were keeping the doll busy Tessai placed his palms together. "Light that chases darkness. Links that bind the Heavens to Earth. Seize and kneel towards the horizon. Find the light and bloom," he said.
He stretched one palm out towards the eyes and clenched it into a fist. "Bakudō #63, Sajō Sabaku," he said.
A shining golden chain formed in front of him and rushed towards the eyes wrapping around them tightly.
The middle-aged Bount with parted brown hair ignored everyone and dashed directly towards Urahara's store instead. Before he was even able to make it to the front door he suddenly disappeared into a black and red wormhole, re-appearing a few feet farther away with a confused look on his face.
Ririn, Kurōdo and Noba faced him.
"Good job Noba-kun!" Kurōdo shouted.
Ririn glared at Ryō. "Stop right there!" She shouted.
Ryō glared at the three of them. "You really think you can stop me?!" He asked.
A golden snake slithered down his arm. He grabbed onto its tail as if it were a whip and slashed wildly around himself leaving long gouges all across the ground between them.
They looked at him warily.
Suddenly those gouges glowed and turned into more snakes that looked just like the one he was using as a whip.
He smirked. "I would like to see you try," he said.
The snakes dashed towards Kurōdo who was standing nearest. He seemed to panic, but they passed through him as if there was nothing there before he simply disappeared.
He appeared a few feet away smiling widely. "Nice try," he said.
Ryō kept attacking them, but every attack he did either ended up passing through them or being swallowed by those wormholes. He hadn't even been able to put a scratch on any of them.
Unfortunately for them, they had been on the defensive the entire time leading to the current stalemate.
