The country of lightning (4)

''Speak''

'Thought'

[Zanpakuto speech from the inner world]

''Ok, let's dance.'' Karmine said while pulling out his katana.

Without any hesitation, the bird-woman immediately release her arrow. The arrow seemed to glow purple electricity when it was released.

Karmine didn't seem to be impressed, though; he quickly swung his sword, knocking the arrow away. All of the soldiers around her seem to take this as a queue for them to charge.

Karmine grinned before charging forward with his sword in his hand, but before he could reach the army, an arrow stuck where he was going, stopping him on his track. The bird lady had fried another arrow, but this time, she did not aim the arrow at Karmine body, but she aimed it at the ground where the Karmine would be.

The arrow stuck on the ground seemed to glow purple electricity, and without warning, the arrow exploded in a wave of electricity, knocking Karmine back a bit. But it also stunned Karmine for a few seconds, but that few seconds was enough time for the bird-women to shoot another arrow through the gap between her soldiers, who is still charging forward.

When the arrow hit Karmine skin, it did not stick or even make him bleed; it simply bounced of Karmine skin, causing the bird-lady to eyes to widen for a few seconds before preparing another arrow.

Karmine, who had been stunned for a few seconds, had got his senses back. He looks forward while a grin still plasters his face. He charged forward, this time even faster.

When Karmine was near the first soldier, he swung his blade down with so much force that, when the soldier brought up his spear to block the attack, Karmine cut it in half, and that is not the only that he cut in half.

The soldier body, who blocked his attack, also got split in half from top to bottom, causing blood to spill around like rain, causing all the soldiers to be quite shocked. That also includes the bird woman who is still standing behind the army.

The soldiers nearby seem to snap out of the shock quickly before 2 of them charge toward Karmine from both left and right sides, thrusting their spear forward. Karmine bends backwards, dodging both of the spears before swing his sword in a 360 motion cutting down both of the soldiers, splitting both soldiers top and bottom, causing more blood to be a spill.

This time, instead of waiting for them to recover, Karmine charged forward with reckless abandon. Right now, his target is none other than the bird woman, who he knows is the only one who can deal any damage to him.

Rushing forward, Karmine swings his sword left and right, cutting down those getting wary toward the bird-woman. Those who are fortunate enough would immediately die on the spot, but those who are unfortunate enough would slowly die on the ground, some from blood loss and some from having their stomach open, spilling their organs.

When Karmine is near the bird woman, both his blade and his body is cover in blood. Of course, this is not Karmine blood but simply the blood of those he had cut down. When you look behind Karmine, you can see many dead bodies behind, with blood covering the floor, turning the grey stone floor into a red floor.

The worst part is that all of them seem died a gruesome death. Some have their gut spilling inside out; some have their head cut off, some have been split apart, and some seem to get both of their arms and body cut off.

The armour that they wore seem to do nothing against his attack, Karmine simply them down like butter, the weapon in their hands feel useless, not only that Karmine can cut it in half, but any attack that successfully lands on Karmine body would bounce off like they hit a steel wall.

In the middle of all of this, Karmine, who is the cause of all of this, do not care. He is too lost in the battle with a grin on his face. Is he grinning because he is enjoying the challenge? Is he grinning because of the thrill in the fight? Or is it because of something else?

''Look like K-chan really enjoying this, huh?'' Yachiru said with a smile

She, who has been observing the slaughter this whole time, seem to not bother by the fact that Karmine is cutting all the soldiers down like pig to the slaughter. After all, as long as her master is happy, she is also happy.

Back to Karmine, his eight irises eyes stare straight at the bird-woman eyes, his grin never falter, and with that, he swings his sword in an upward motion, but the bird-woman seem to disappear in a flash of light, leaving feathers behind, causing the blade to only his air.

And before Karmine could react, lightning strike where the bird-woman used to stand hitting Karmine, causing his Blut Vene to activate, reducing the damage.

Karmine looks in front of him. He can see that the bird-woman have teleport backwards while also attack him with a lightning strike, Karmine doesn't know how she does it, but he does not care at the moment. His grin becomes even wider.

Karmine rushed forward, with his sword up high, but the bird-woman also did not just stand there and do nothing. She has already charged her arrow with purple electricity and shot it forward to the rushing Karmine.

The arrow hit him and stuck on Karmine shoulder, and then Karmine seemed to get an electric shock from the arrow.

But Karmine did not stop running forward; in fact, he became even faster!! It did not take too much time for him to reach the bird-woman, swinging down his zanpakuto with so much force that it would surely cut the bird-woman like how he cut the first soldier.

Suddenly, without any warning, the bird-woman disappeared in a flash of purple light, but there were no feathers left where she was standing this time. Clearly, someone had to teleport her out of the way.

Then lightning descends from heaven and strikes Karmie, and this time, the lightning is not like the other. The lightning that strikes at Karmine is simply massive, and it has so much force that it causes the ground to rumble, and instead of being a flash of light, the lighting does not disappear. It keeps lingering on, and the sound of it can be heard through the entire country.

It was like the lighting itself was a judgement from the gods to strike down the demon who have slaughtering humans like they are nothing more than sheep.

When the light fades, standing where the lightning is stuck, Karmine can be seen kneeling on one knee while using his sword as a crutch to ensure that he will not fall on the ground. His body seems to be cover in blue lines before it quickly disappears.

Karmine started to cough out blood before slowly stood back up. When he looked up, he saw that 10 meters away stood the bird-woman from before kneeling on the ground, but what caught his attention was the other standing next to her.

With bright purple eyes that glow like lightning and dark purple hair tied into a long braid, she looks at Karmine with a small frown on her face.

A purple spear in one of her hands seems to glow purple light while also cracking lighting.

''You are an enemy toward eternity.'' The woman said
