Enhanced by his sword technique, this strike infused with Annihilation Reiatsu was unstoppable.
When Szayelaporro reacted, his body was already surrounded by a red ring.
?!
Szayelaporro's gaze sharpened. The four tentacle wings behind him extended simultaneously, rushing toward Shigure.
But at that instant, the red Full Moon suddenly contracted violently!
Clang!
Like the sound of steel colliding, the Full Moon's ring crossed with Szayelaporro's body and disappeared.
A blood line began appearing on Szayelaporro's waist, with traces of charring above and below it.
The extended tentacle wings stopped in mid-air. Szayelaporro's expression completely froze.
He stiffly lowered his head to look at his waist.
Actually, he didn't need to look. He could already feel the intense pain from his body and soul.
And the signs of his spiritual pressure beginning to weaken.
All of this indicated the fact that he was starting to die.
His gaze suddenly became hollow. His face twitched involuntarily from fear.
"No... impossible..."
"I should have been able to start analyzing... your spiritual pressure..."
"In just ten more seconds, I should have been able to defeat you..."
Szayelaporro raised his head, looking at Shigure with hatred and shock as he roared unwillingly:
"How could I... how could I die in this place?!!"
Before his words finished, his tentacle wings moved again, trying to attack Shigure.
Shigure slightly raised his eyes and expressionlessly released his spiritual pressure, covering Szayelaporro's body and tentacle wings.
He knew Szayelaporro was at his limit now. With just one final impact, he would die immediately.
Sure enough, the moment Shigure's spiritual pressure hit him.
Szayelaporro's face changed dramatically, then blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
After a moment, he could no longer maintain his standing posture and fell backward.
Thud.
He collapsed on the sand, blood flowing from his entire body.
His pupils began rapidly dimming, finally turning completely gray. His breathing and heartbeat stopped completely at this moment.
Behind him, Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka stared at this scene in complete shock.
Nel was surprised because she couldn't understand the situation.
Dondochakka and Pesche were shocked because they sensed Shigure's unfathomable strength.
The Espada were positions that only the ten strongest Arrancar in Hueco Mundo could obtain. Szayelaporro was naturally no exception.
But now, even after releasing his full power, he still had no resistance against Shigure.
This Soul Reaper's strength had exceeded what they could imagine.
At this moment, Yuka Ludwig, sitting on the emerald moon above the Heart Wall labyrinth, saw this scene and his body had already begun trembling uncontrollably.
"This... this... is power comparable to... Lord Aizen's?!!"
"I must... I must find a way to stop him!!"
Though he thought this, he suddenly realized he was out of options.
Even Nnoitra and Szayelaporro were as weak as ants before Shigure. If Yuka went up, he would be instantly killed too.
But currently, besides the Moonlight Butterfly labyrinth, he had no other power.
When Aizen had created him, he had already told him that this one power would be sufficient for his use.
"I must... think calmly..."
Yuka lowered his head. His teeth had bitten his lips until blood seeped out, but he still didn't let go.
Meanwhile, in the Heart Wall labyrinth below.
Szayelaporro's spiritual pressure had completely disappeared. He was thoroughly dead.
Only then did Shigure sheath his blade and slowly turn around to look at Nel and the other three.
When she saw Shigure looking over, Nel immediately turned pale with fright, grabbing Pesche's arm as she shouted:
"Waaah Soul Reaper!! No no no no don't kill us too!!"
Hearing this, Shigure chuckled and said:
"If I wanted to kill you, why would I have saved you just now?"
Hearing this, Nel was stunned, then scrunched up her small face in a thoughtful expression:
"That's true... hmm... wait!!"
She suddenly looked at her two subordinates with suspicion and shouted:
"Dondochakka, Pesche! Didn't you say Soul Reapers kill without blinking?! And that they love eating Arrancar alive...?!"
Hearing this, Pesche showed an embarrassed expression.
"Eh eh... eh, most Soul Reapers are like that, that's right... but... but he seems different..."
Soul Reapers and Hollows were natural enemies.
So Pesche and Dondochakka had exaggerated the terrifying aspects of Soul Reapers to help Nel identify danger.
Who knew today would be her first time seeing a real Soul Reaper.
But this Soul Reaper not only didn't kill them, he actually saved them, and seemed very friendly.
Hearing Pesche's words, Nel clapped her hands with wide eyes: "Then doesn't that make him our benefactor?!"
"Ah... right, that's not wrong..." Dondochakka nodded dazedly.
Shigure found their chatter amusing.
But now wasn't the time to relax.
He needed to get to Soi Fon and the others to help them deal with Zommari, and he had to reach Las Noches early to stop one of Aizen's plans.
Thinking this, he walked over while speaking:
"Listen carefully. I have some business and need to leave here now, but I can't take you with me."
"So I'm going to send you somewhere safe."
"Eh?!"
All three were stunned, then Dondochakka said carefully: "But we just wandered around here for ages... and couldn't find a way out..."
They had seen that emerald moon rising into the sky from a distance and ran over out of curiosity, only to be sealed in by light walls and brought into the labyrinth.
Not only couldn't they find an exit, they encountered Szayelaporro instead.
Hearing Dondochakka's words, Shigure smiled lightly:
"I naturally have a way."
