Chapter 18: Determination

"What are you doing there! Run away! Rukia, who was fighting, took the time to glance at Ichigo and found that Ichigo was still sitting in place, and almost broke out.

"I didn't even realize that this void could come to me, no, no! That kid just sensed it!! So...... Is it because my perception is disturbed by him?! And this level of spiritual pressure is about to evolve into the Great Void Jili'an! Damn it! Rukia gritted her teeth slightly, secretly crying bitterly in her heart. Why didn't that idiot run away! I'm not sure I'll be able to kill this big guy! ”

Suddenly, Rukia's figure flashed and disappeared! When it reappears, it's behind the void!

"Poof!" A wound of about three meters suddenly appeared in Xu's abdomen, but Xu, regardless of it, turned around and slammed a heavy punch at Rukia!

"What!" Rukia, who didn't react at all, was hit by a false punch!

"Boom!!" A large hole in the shape of a man appeared in the ground, and the claws were withdrawn, and a large amount of blood was clearly carried on them!

"Very good, the Grim Reaper who got in the way has been solved! Now it's time to enjoy my meal! There was a hint of bloodlust on his hideous face. He turned around and grabbed Ichigo.

"Well, this big guy's target isn't me, it's that kid!?" Rukia looked at the unreasonable scene in front of her, and became more and more sure of the guess in her heart.

"Generally speaking, compared to the ordinary 'whole', the Grim Reaper should be more tempting to the void! Sure enough! The kid ...... "Rukia really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh about the current situation, in vain she is a god of death who is a human being, and she is actually because of a human ...... Hawkers, although this human being is more special, it was "saved".

"But this time it's really over!" Looking at her twisted legs that had been punched by the punch she had just made, Rukia smiled bitterly.

――――――――――――

Looking at the "supernatural event" in front of him, Ichigo was obviously a little confused.

In the blink of an eye, something had already come to mind. "That's what it is...... Little love you have been hiding all along?! Ichigo's eyes were a little red, and he clenched his fists, and his muscles jumped. Because it's dangerous, don't you say it? You bastard!! ”

"Huh?"

Ichigo, who was in a trance, suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards him, and Ichigo instinctively felt that if he didn't take any measures, it would really not be fun!

Relying on the nerve reflexes that had been "trained" by his own stupid father, Ichigo jumped one by one, dodged the false grasp by a fraction of a margin, and ran towards Rukia while jumping down from the upper floor (from the second floor), shouting at Rukia, "Hey! Onion, are you alright? ”

"Onion ?!!!!" Rukia's head suddenly burst out with the word "tic-tac-toe" of the boss. Then he sighed faintly, "Moy...... Do you think I'm okay right now? ”

"Uh......" Ichigo looked at Rukia's twisted and bleeding legs, and realized he had asked a stupid question. So, what now? Onion head! ”

Rukia stretched out her right hand and aimed it at the void, and read aloud, "Thirty-one of the broken paths? Red artillery. "A fiery red energy cannonball blasted straight towards the void.

"Boom!"

The red cannon smashed into Xu's body, causing Xu's blood to burst out again.

"Roar!"

After a painful howl, the space fluctuated, and then a black mass was created, and the void disappeared directly into the darkness.

"It's... Escaped? Ichigo asked.

"Whew." Rukia gasped slightly, then looked at Ichigo and said loudly, "Hurry up and escape, the void should have retreated for the time being, but it must still be hidden around, its target ...... Looks like it's you! Now that I don't have any combat power, if you run away, I might be able to save your life! ”

"Huh?" Ichigo was stunned. The goal is yourself? I shouldn't have done anything damned/Why did I target myself? Ichigo is full of cows.

"That'...... What about you? Ichigo looked at Rukia intently.

"Me? …… Uh......" Before Rukia could finish her sentence, she was picked up by Ichigo and carried on her shoulder.

"Stupid! That imaginary power, I can see it, I'm not an opponent at all, how can I escape?! Ichigo bit his lip and said. Tut! And, you want me to run away alone? Leave you killed? Idiot onion! ”

"Roar."

A false roar came from behind Ichigo again, and Ichigo gritted his teeth and didn't waste any more time turning his head to look, but continued to run.

"Boom!!" With a thud, a huge claw smashed into Ichigo's back, adding another big hole to the ground.

Ichigo didn't dare to stay even more, ran forward with all his might, glanced at Ichigo, clenched his claws into a fist, and slammed his fist towards Ichigo. And this time, the fist was completely aimed at Ichigo.

Rukia, who was carried by Ichigo, kept running forward, and when he turned his head slightly and glanced at it, he saw a huge fist smashing towards him.

"Dad, Little Love, Wanderer, Xia Li, Orihime!"

"If the people who should have died did not die, then it is already a responsibility to live with the hope and future of the dead and the living. If you feel guilty, then live well, with your mother's share! ”

――――――――――――

"Damn! How can you just die here! Ichigo shouted loudly.

Then the feet suddenly exerted force, "Boom!!" With a thud, Ichigo lunged to the left, and Rukia and Rukia threw themselves into the alley on the left, and the void fist smashed behind them.

"Hey, onion! Can't you just think of a way anymore? Ichigo said loudly.

"How?" Rukia's teeth clenched into her lower lip, and she glanced at Ichigo seriously, as if she was about to make a final confirmation, stared into Ichigo's eyes, and asked, "Do you want to survive?" ”

"Isn't that a matter of course!! Who would be tired of living crookedly and looking for their own death? Even if there were, it wouldn't be me! Ichigo shouted loudly.

"That's right! Rukia tightened the sword in her hand, lifted it up, and aimed the tip of the knife at Ichigo's left chest. "Then go through this knife through your own heart!"

―――――――――――― Ichigo looked at the sword in Rukia's hand, and his hands trembled slightly. "Is it decided?! Step into this ...... A different world? ”

(Storyboard: The Void has reappeared, and is walking towards the alley where Ichigo is!) ）

"Don't be afraid," Rukia smiled reluctantly, "Although you are a human being, with your level of spiritual pressure that can disturb my perception, and the power I transmitted into your body through this slashing knife, as long as you transform into a god of death without accident, you should be able to solve that big guy." ”

"No accidents?" Ichigo's face was full of suspicion.

"Under normal circumstances, when my slashing knife passes through your heart, you can use my power as the key to transform into a god of death, but if you don't expect it, it's death anyway, what's the difference?" Rukia's pretty face had a playful smile on it, and there was a hint of relief as if she had let go of something.

"Tsk! What irresponsible words! Onion head! Ichigo said with a smile. Reach out and grasp the blade of the slashing knife tightly.

Void, it's over!

"I'm not called Onion! My name is Rukia Kuchigi! ”

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki!" The hands of the two of them exerted force at the same time, and in an instant, the slashing sword passed through Ichigo's heart!

――――――――――――

The dazzling white light instantly illuminated the dim alleyway, and a huge arm flew out of the white light. The black particles quickly vanished.

The white light gradually dissipated, and I saw the void standing there, one of his right arms gone.

"You damn wretched fish! I just had a lot of fun! Ichigo, who emerged from the white light, was dressed in a black kimono and held an oversized sword in his right hand. The blade is ten centimeters wide, nearly one and a half meters long, nearly twenty centimeters long, the handle is nearly twenty centimeters, and the blade is straight, and a glimmer of sharpness flashes on the sharp blade.

And there was a ...... lying on the ground Ichigo?

Looking at the void in front of him, Ichigo waved the sword in his hand horizontally to the right.

A blue light flashed, and the void's body was directly cut into two halves, and then turned into a black spirit child, completely disappearing.

"This is the power of the Grim Reaper?!" Ichigo looked at the sword in his hand and said with a somewhat confused look in his eyes. Then he looked straight ahead with determination.

"Little Love...... Won't leave you alone! ”
