Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1329 Repelling a Monster

Chapter 1329 Repelling a Monster

Sona decided that their meeting would happen on a random floating island within the Dimensional Gap covered in a barrier.

This would eliminate the need for an extra large space in case a fight broke out and it has an additional benefit of naturally blocking the fluctuation of released aura. However, it has its own set of disadvantages even though it's such a great space to meet secretly.

First of which is that meeting within the Dimensional Gap requires a certain degree of strength or durability and without any way to cut through the space and leave it of your own devices, you'll just be signing your own death certificate. Second, despite the entire space seemingly unending and twisting every second, it's relatively easy to find someone in it as long as they're acquainted.

The Dimensional Gap has strange properties that came from both Ophis and Great Red's authorities so even if there is unlimited space within it which came from Ophis, Anyone can find someone they personally know as long as they think hard enough of their target thanks to Great Red connecting everyone's 'dream'.

It was due to this that there are several teams of experts that would scour the Dimensional Gap every day in hopes of finding bigwigs that don't appear in public.

There are ways to mitigate this which were already employed by the Ouroboros Academy and other major factions but those are only temporary measures.

"This is truly a strange space," Gwenn muttered while looking around. She had to limit what she could see so that she wouldn't get dizzy from all the nonsensical information entering her senses.

"I tried searching for any record similar to this but I got nothing. This is something unique to Draconic Deus. No wonder the two sides were cautious with their approach to this place." Stralit replied to her while also marveling at the 'sky'

Both of them did their best to gather data on the space and although Alicia probably already gathered way more, it's great to have a different reference whenever they request for it.

Sadly, they only had a few minutes to do this when two other individuals landed on the island they were on. They were familiar with one of them but they were only staring at the new face.

She had long ponytailed brunette hair and a pair of golden eyes behind her spectacles. What caught their attention however was the attire she was wearing and the more than long enough sword behind her waist.

"A-a cloth weaved with purely spiritual matter? And that sword... It's not the same as those Soul Gears... Another Zanpakuto?" Stralit softly muttered.

"Well... There are two so it won't be strange that there's a third one." Gwenn replied while the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably and thought, 'That settles it, in a way, they are more advanced when it comes to utilization of Spiritual Power. Something like that could only be worn by those in the Holy Family.'

But soon after, Gwenn realized that something was strange with them. Yoruichi is frowning and the girl beside her has her hand on her weapon, '...Are they hostile? But not towards us.'

Gwenn turned around to follow their stare and when she did, she shuddered and was frozen in place because a sudden pressure pressed on her and a hand was already about to grab her face, "Wh...?"

Stralit also realized that something was strange and hurriedly turned around but before she realized it, an unknown man, with his outstretched arm towards Gwenn was being blocked by the woman who was just beside Yoruichi using her sword.

"Hup!" With a deep breath, the woman planted her feet firmly on the ground and rotated her body to give more momentum to her swing, successfully pushing back the unknown man. Nevertheless, it was very strange that she was only able to cut a bit of his palm despite the forceful slash, 'Is the sword dull?', Stralit asked herself in that situation before she finally realized the sudden attack targeted Gwenn.

Stralit lowered her body and immediately grabbed Gwenn who was strangely not moving and took some distance from the clash. Since she didn't know if she could trust Yoruichi, she chose a direction that would also increase their distance from her.

"Hey! Gwenn! What are you freezing for!?" Stralit was tempted to slap Gwenn but thankfully, she didn't have to resort to violence for her to get her mind back.

"Haaahh...!" Gwenn hurriedly took a deep breath because she unconsciously forgot to breathe, "W-what was that!?"

Stralit then turned to the tanned woman and asked with a frown, "You're Yoruichi, aren't you? What's the meaning of this?"

But to her and Gwenn's surprise, Yoruichi ignored them and her gaze never left the unknown man with swept-back brown hair and now floating on top of the island, "I won't ask how you tracked us, but what do you get from assaulting them?"

The unknown man just smiled, "Don't misunderstand. I know that the silver-haired girl is directly related to Kisuke, but that's not the same as the red-haired one, is it?" For the unknown man, Aizen, it's only a fair game.

"She's mine. Back off."

"Now you really are misunderstanding things." Aizen chuckled, "I'm cautious of Kisuke but that doesn't extend to those around him. I may not be able to hurt you without a good reason but I won't back off just because you say so. Don't delude yourself. You don't stand on the same stage as him and I."

Yoruichi went silent and Aika also didn't say anything. Yoruichi didn't have anything to retort since it was just plainly the truth. While she had improved considerably compared to her previous life, all she did was run around in darkness and she still hadn't reached the line of 'Transcendent'. In fact, she feels like it's still far beyond her reach.

The frustrating truth is that neither she nor the other girls had what it takes to contend with Aizen. He'll listen to Kisuke if it's convenient, but he'll disregard everyone else if he has no interest in them. It was his pride in his achievement.

However, Yoruichi knew that she couldn't be silent forever, '...I can't talk to him at all. I don't know why he wanted to abduct Gwenn, but to stop him, we should prove that it's not worth the effort.'

Yoruichi sighed. She didn't want to reveal anything major to the two Etoulde right now, but they didn't have any choice, "Aika, go all out."
