48 IM part 2 (1/2)
”Kuhahahahahah.....Thank you for helping me finish my metamorphosis....” IM said ominously as he walked out of the dust. His body but pure darkness with only a pair of glowing eyes.
”hahahaha as thanks, I shall grant you a quick death, after torture that is.” IM spoke as he reappeared next to Rei grabbing him by the neck and throwing him down. Eve couldn't react to the sudden appearance of IM and similarly got grabbed by the neck and flung downwards.
*BAAANNNNGGGG!!!!! BAAANNGGG!!!
Two collisions could be heard as Rei and Eve was seen laying down in the craters formed by the impact.
”Urg, Eve. You ok?” Rei asked as he felt his body strained and damaged. Rei's body slowly started to regenerate but couldn't replenish the fatigue he felt.
”Yeah...” Eve replied weakly.
”Try talk to your Zanpakuto, I'll hold him off for a bit. Right now it would help to get your time abilities.” Rei said as he stood up. Nodding as a response, Eve sat down and crossed her legs holding Mirai infront of her.
”True Eight Inner Gates : 8th Gate Open!!!” Rei said as a furious red aura exploded from him. The true eight inner gates makes it so that Rei gains an incredible boost in his physical form pushing him to the boundary of reaching the 3rd highest rank. Ascendant. Rushing towards IM, Rei swung down Taema towards IM. Easily seeing through the attack, IM moved his body slightly to the left avoiding the cut while giving Rei a hard punch to the gut.
”Hahahaha, while you may have increased you physical status, do you think I haven't done the same?” IM said while giving Rei a barrage of punches. Using haki, Rei used the side of Taema to flick off every punch that had attacked him. Bringing the pommel of Taema towards one of IM's punches, Rei used the back of his hand to push off the punch allowing him to swing Taema at IM. Backing off after the hit, Rei watched as the cut was regenerated easily.
”Hmmm.....” IM looked down at the wound before back up at Rei with an ominous glint in his eyes. Similar to Senbonzakura, IM dispersed 12 of his wings using the feathers as blades sending them towards Rei.
”1 Layered Protection Array : ROTATION!” Rei shouted as the barrier diverted the feathers away. IM suddenly grabbed Rei by the shoulder and threw him forwards. Rei was shocked as he didn't know how IM was able to enter the barrier without breaking it. Stabilising him self. Rei traced out Enkidu and threw it towards IM. Feeling the threat of Enkidu, IM created a purple orb before throwing it towards Enkidu easily eradicating it.
”Tsk! I'll show you the true essence of the 5 rings!!”
Rei chanted as he flew towards IM continuing to fight without pause. Extending the handle of Taema, Rei made it a make shift spear sword combination. Piercing Taema towards IM, Rei also used this moment to make an ice javelin form and attack from the side of IM. Dodging the spear sword, IM swiped left with his hand destroying the ice javelin.
”I place my trust in the Tenjin of the Tenma shrine....” Rei continued as streaks of red energy increased.
Transforming Taema once more, Rei swung the now transformed great sword version of Taema towards IM. The movement flowed like water in the stream causing IM to have not choice but to try block since he was in range of the great sword. The darkness of IM's body twisted into a shield ad it blocked the great sword causing sparks to flash.
”Deity of absolute freedom. Nioh Kurikara, shoutenshou!” Rei continued to chant as the red energy started to increase in volume slowly forming a illusory figure of a man with a toned muscular body, 4 arms and four swords.
”Let's go blade master's draw, Ishana Daitenshou!” Rei said as he jumped away from IM finishing his chant.
”SIX REALMS FIVE PLANES :THE DIVINE FIGURE OF KURIKARA!!!”
