"Even if I have no other choice, I will not give up!"
Jin responded.
Just like the fate that hangs over the Bount, even though their fate had been sealed from the moment of their birth and cannot be changed, he still wanted to try.
If one doesn't work hard, how could he know whether the unchangeable fate really cannot be changed?
Ignoring Mazuru's words, the strong winds continued to attack Mazuru under Jin's manipulation. Since the hall of the mansion was only so big, the furniture in the house was swept away by the wind controlled by Jin, and all the furnishings were broken at the same time, showing a landscape of total chaos.
Seeing this, the several other Bount around couldn't help but retreat at the same time, so as not to be affected by Jin's attack.
Ran'Tao was also retreating continuously, but Ugaki had appeared beside her at some point, "Where do you want to go?"
After finally seeing the culprit who created their Bount race, Ugaki naturally didn't want Ran'Tao to leave easily.
A faint smile formed on the corner of Ran'Tao's mouth, "I won't go anywhere for a while. Instead of paying attention to me, you'd better pay attention to Jin's situation. He can't last too long."
Before coming here, Ran'Tao had actually never seen Mazuru take any action before.
However, just as Mazuru casted his Bankai above the villa and as he confronted the group of Bount with their unique abilities and as he kept the situation under his control, Ran'Tao suddenly had a feeling.
She had a feeling that even the leader of Bount, Kariya Jin, will not be Mazuru's opponent and lose soon.
T external manifestation was that Jin's most offensives dissipated completely every time before they could even approach Mazuru.
"Is it his Bankai's ability?"
Ran'Tao thought so from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't think that Mazuru used Bankai ahead of time and dragged Bount into the barrier was a cheap trick or something. After all, in a fight, only winner and loser matters and Bankai was also a part of shinigami's strength, and there were many shinigami who wanted to master Bankai but can't do it. So, even used ahead of time, it still counts as one's own battle prowess.
"You really don't give up, do you?"
Mazuru felt Jin's resistance, and he didn't care about those strong winds which were continuously hovering around him.
Because about those strong winds, whenever they came to him, they still disappeared as always.
Moreover, if he wanted to, the blower-like sword in Jin's hand, the sword body that was condensed by pure wind, can also be suppressed by the power of rules of the crimson world after using his Bankai, and make it disappear.
But he didn't do that.
If Jin wanted to resist, he still had to give him a sword, otherwise Jin could only fight with fists against him.
Although Mazuru was also very good at Hakuda, he doesn't like the fighting style of punching each other, he preferred the fighting style of slashing each other.
*Clang*
The wind sword and the crimson long sword collided against each other.
In just a short amount of time, Jin felt a strong sense of oppression. He tried his best to block several of Mazuru's slashes.
The severe pain continuously hit his body, but Jin looked calm and said without any fear, "Come on!"
"Very well then!"
What Mazuru responded with, was a slash, Jin's body flew out of the sky, a sharp wound appeared on his chest, and blood spurted and splashed the ground.
This time Jin couldn't even resist Mazuru's slash.
"Kariya-sama!"
Seeing this scene, the Bount who had lost their dolls exclaimed at the same time and their complexions changed.
Even if some of them were ambitious and intended to replace Jin and become the new leader of Bount, but at that moment, there was absolutely no intention of gloating in Jin's bad state.
On the surface, the defeat of Jin seemed to be an opportunity for them to replace him and become the new leader.
But that was definitely not true for now.
What Mazuru said earlier was very clear, the "you" in his mouth refered to all Bount. It was directed at all the members of Bount, in front of them, there were only two choices: obey or die in resistance.
The defeat of Jin proved Mazuru's superior strength, which was definitely not a good thing for them.
Jin struggled to stand up once again.
The members of Bount next to him could see the superiority of Mazuru's strength, and he, the one facing Mazuru, naturally felt it too, but he didn't felt afraid by that. Instead what he felt was a sense of expectation in his heart.
If he could die in the hands of such a strong shinigami called Kyo Mazuru, it would be a worthy death to some extent.
Bount were born due to shinigami, and were also destroyed due to shinigami!
From the perspective of his companions, they had planned for many years to go to the Soul Society to take revenge on the shinigami in order to avenge what shinigami did to them back then.
But for Jin, what he intended to lead Bount to the Soul Society was never to subvert the Soul Society.
As the leader of Bount and the strongest Bount, he knew the Soul Society and the power of Gotei 13 better than anyone else.
He planned to go to the Soul Society just to end the Bount's sad fate.
Death was sometimes also the end of unbreakable fate.
Of course, before that, he had to kill the one due to whom the Bount were created and brought to the endless and painful fate, his target was Ran'Tao.
Knowing that he was not Mazuru's opponent, Jin held the wind sword in the shape of a blower tightly and his figure flickered. He gave up attacking Mazuru voluntarily and instead headed towards Ran'Tao.
Standing next to Ran'Tao, Ugaki realized their leader's purpose, a card flew out of his hand, and made a feint to restrain Ran'Tao's movements.
Jin's idea was very good and clear.
In his opinion, even if he was not Mazuru's opponent, he still had enough time to kill Ran'Tao.
After Ran'Tao dies, Mazuru might kill him in a fit of rage but it didn't matter to him.
Unfortunately, he overlooked one thing.
"Assaulting someone in front of me, and it's the second time at that, you really don't think much of me, do you?"
Mazuru's figure appeared beside Ran'Tao at some point.
Then, whether it was Jin or Ugaki who had been guarding Ran'Tao for some time, red mist surged around their bodies, and condensed into red ropes wrapping around their bodies.
Even though Jin and Ugaki struggled in every possible way, they still couldn't break free from the shackles on their bodies.
Just like the fate that hanged over the Bount race, the restraint also seemed unbreakable.
Inexplicably, there was a hint of sadness in Jin's heart.
