Everything returned to normal with Matsumoto supporting Sora as he fell on his knees from spending all that Reiatsu at once...
His clothes revert back to the standard attire of Shinigamis and were trying to catch his breath while feeling the two peaks of Matsumoto's in his face...
Matsumoto: "Is it over??"
Sora: "Haaaa... Haaaa..... I would have preferred to fight with Aizen again and slowly set my path forward..."
Matsumoto: "Was he really that hard to deal with..."
Sora: "Haaaffff... Haaauuu... His power is troublesome..."
Sora: "It causes his appearance to vanish, thereby turning him invisible. If it was just this even you would have been able to cope with him easily..."
Matsumoto: "You say that I'm a weak little woman??"
Sora sweatdropped at her comment and wondered which part of his explanation made her say that but nevertheless he continued...
Sora: "But he has two other perks which cause his existence to vanish, causing him to become completely intangible."
Sora: "Third it causes his existence to vanish from within the minds of others, causing them to forget that he ever existed and thus confuse his enemies."
Matsumoto: "Like to what happened to us earlier...??"
Sora: "Yeah... Therefore the moment he appeared i started creating doors to the maximum of my limit and even those were fragile..."
Sora: "If someone were to attack them then even with a finger they would have breaked them apart..."
Matsumoto: "Then your flames??"
Sora: "Like i said i only targeted him..."
Matsumoto: "Then what are you going to do now??"
Sora: "Now I'm gonna rest for a bit before continuing on forward... Tssk..."
Just as he spoke, he frowns and almost immediately he placed his hand in his face and wore his hollow mask while at the same time taking Matsumoto away from their spot appearing hundreds of meters away...
BANG!!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!!
They both looked at the place they were located and saw countless spikes crashing on the ground before they looked at the source of things...
There they saw a child with messy blond hair, youthful features, and red eyes. His attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of a loose trench coat featuring a hood and a high collar.
??? : "Oh you managed to defeat my creation... Well done..."
Sora: "You...!!!"
??? : "Oh surprise to see me?"
Sora looked at the far side of their current location where a giant ice pillar was located, countless pink lights were flashing here and there and many other abilities being used by the Captains...
Are those all illusions?? Visions??
The child-like figure looked at where Sora's gaze fell and chuckled as he answered in amusement...
??? : "This is part of my ability..."
??? : "I'm Gremmy Thoumeaux a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation V - The Visionary..."
Sora: "So you mean to say that the ones they are fighting are??"
??? : "My Creations of my fallen comrades..."
Sora was alarmed and quickly used Shunpo to carry Matsumoto once again and get out of the line of fire from multiply firearms...
PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!! PA!!!
As they landed, he didn't even have time to swear as he threw Matsumoto from his hands and let her pass hastily threw a door connected to his clone...
Matsumoto didn't even have time to react as she was thrown away and almost whelp at the scene in front of her...
Another shadow appeared in front of him and tried to stab him through his chest, only for Sora to sidestep at the last second and causing his body to swift sideways as his attire got ripped from the incoming sword...
Fush!!!
Sora used this chance to get away and keeping a few meters distance only to see three Gremmys looking at him...
