Chapter 272: Binding Spell Number Sixty-One: Six Rods Prison of Light
"Run!"
Kuchiki Rukia, reacting first, shouted and pulled Hinamori Momo, who seemed to be frozen in place, towards her.
In the next moment, the Hollow's claw, which had grazed Hinamori Momo's body, suddenly plunged into the concrete.
"Bang!"
Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru, who reacted slightly slower, quickly followed Rukia, moving away from the Hollow behind them, which exuded a spiritual pressure that almost made it hard for them to breathe.
Fear... rose uncontrollably in their hearts!
This was undoubtedly a difference in levels of an entirely different dimension.
However, just as Rukia and the others, using their untrained Flash Step, had barely put a hundred meters between themselves and the Hollow, which was slowly pulling its claw out of the concrete, it suddenly vanished from its spot.
In an instant, Rukia and the others saw a blur, and the Hollow was already blocking their path, its intelligent eyes looking at them with a hint of amusement.
In the face of imminent danger, Abarai Renji instinctively stepped in front of Rukia, gripping his Asauchi tightly and pointing it at the Hollow.
"Damn it! Are you looking down on us? You bastard."
Before Abarai Renji could finish speaking, Rukia kicked him, angrily reminding him.
"Idiot, don't provoke it..."
"Wh...what do we do now? Rukia..." Hinamori Momo asked, her voice filled with uncontrollable tension and fear.
Relatively speaking, Rukia, having been around people like Senjumaru Shutara and Kuchiki Byakuya from a young age, was undoubtedly more composed and calm than the others.
"Stall for time!"
"Should we split up and run?" Kira Izuru asked, his expression gloomy and with a hint of determination.
As soon as Kira Izuru finished speaking, Abarai Renji immediately said, "You guys run, I'm going to fight this guy!"
Rukia almost couldn't resist kicking Abarai Renji again, saying.
"Idiot, this isn't the time to show off!"
After a pause, Rukia whispered, "I've mastered a powerful Binding Spell, but it takes time to chant. You guys stall for time, it might be our only chance."
"Huh? Rukia, when did you learn a powerful Binding Spell?" Abarai Renji asked, puzzled.
Hearing this untimely question, Rukia, while keeping her eyes fixed on the Hollow in front of her, almost uncontrollably had a few "tic marks" appear on her forehead.
However, in the next moment, Rukia saw a blur, and the Hollow was already right in front of her, its claw, stained with blood and flesh, stabbing towards her abdomen.
'So fast!'
Rukia even felt that the Hollow's speed was almost comparable to that damned Senjumaru Shutara.
So fast that, just like every time she was in front of Senjumaru Shutara, she was completely helpless, not even having time to swing her sword...
Just then, a roar rang out beside Rukia, and Abarai Renji, with his red hair, charged directly at the Hollow, roaring angrily.
"Damn it, your opponent is me!"
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, several figures crossed paths.
Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru simultaneously attacked the Hollow, while Hinamori Momo, seemingly soft and harmless, began chanting a spell after creating some distance.
"Ruler of flesh and blood, all things, flutter of wings, you who wear the name of 'Humanity'!"
"Torment and strife, the seas surge and rage, march onward!"
"Destructive Spell Number Thirty-One: Red Fire Cannon!"
Just as Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru were easily knocked away by the Hollow, Hinamori Momo unleashed a burst of crimson flames from her hand, blasting towards the Hollow's face, hitting it accurately and causing a cloud of smoke.
The Hollow's movements immediately stopped!
"Did it work?"
"It's effective!"
Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru, their mouths filled with blood, looked at the seemingly motionless Hollow with excitement and anticipation.
Then, while praising Hinamori Momo, Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru subconsciously turned to look at her.
"Great job, Momo, no wonder the spell teacher praised you so many times for your talent..."
"You've completely mastered the Red Fire Cannon? Amazing!"
Hearing the praise from her two classmates, Hinamori Momo couldn't help but blush, instinctively lowering her head slightly.
...
This scene caught the attention of Aizen Sōsuke, who was hidden in the shadows, and his eyes flickered slightly.
'She seems so naively simple, so easily satisfied with a few worthless compliments? As a pawn or tool, she might be a good target...'
'And in terms of talent, she should be able to become a vice-captain...'
...
At this moment, as Hinamori Momo lowered her head slightly, she suddenly noticed that her shadow seemed to have become incredibly large, as if she was being enveloped by something much larger behind her.
Suddenly, Hinamori Momo realized something, her pupils contracting instinctively, and the voices of Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru rang out simultaneously.
"Behind you, Momo!"
"Run..."
However, under the horrified gazes of Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru, the Hollow's raised claw was about to pierce through Hinamori Momo right in front of it.
Just then, six golden light fragments appeared around the Hollow, and then suddenly converged!
"Binding Spell Number Sixty-One: Six Rods Prison of Light!"
Not far away, Kuchiki Rukia, gasping for breath and sweating profusely, leaned against the wall, raised one hand towards the Hollow, and said with lingering fear.
"F...finally made it in time..."
Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru were somewhat dumbfounded...
Binding Spell Number... Sixty-One???
When did the teacher teach a Binding Spell of this level? This is already incredibly close to a high-level Binding Spell!
And the highest level of spells taught by the teachers of the Spiritual Arts Academy is clearly spells below number thirty-three.
"R...Rukia, you actually know Binding Spell Number Sixty-One??"
"Where did you learn it from?"
Faced with the subconscious questioning from Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru, Kuchiki Rukia didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After all, the four of them are friends with each other. In addition to their personalities being compatible, more importantly, they are all from the Rukongai District, with a natural sense of closeness.
However, after entering the Spiritual Arts Academy and understanding what level of important figures the captains and vice-captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads were, Kuchiki Rukia had no idea how to explain this question, fearing that she would be alienated if she revealed it.
