A moment later, Rangiku breathed out lightly and dispersed the Kidō in her hands.
Just now, within twenty seconds, she'd quickly informed those back there about what was happening here.
She'd also successfully conveyed the words Shigure had just spoken.
Right then, their group began sensing several powerful Hollow spiritual pressures approaching.
The moment they felt this spiritual pressure, Soi Fon and the others' pupils contracted instantly.
Earlier, when Shigure said they were all captain-level, they'd felt somewhat shocked.
But now, actually feeling those twisted spiritual pressures arriving was a completely different sensation!
Sensing spiritual pressure approaching meant they weren't far away anymore.
Tōshirō and the others drew their Zanpakutō with grim expressions.
Soi Fon's eyes sharpened. Air currents began appearing around her body. The next moment, the currents suddenly roared explosively, then transformed into white storms swirling around her.
Shunkō!
This was an advanced combat technique combining extremely concentrated Kidō with Hakuda.
Soi Fon using this move showed how seriously she viewed the current situation.
Moments later, four figures appeared ahead of them, growing larger as they approached at high speed.
"Hah..."
Tōshirō slowly exhaled and gripped Hyōrinmaru tightly.
The four Espada figures also stopped about thirty feet away from them.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
The tallest figure, Nnoitra, stood at the front of the four, showing his usual arrogant smile.
"Hey hey hey! What's this? You Soul Reapers... seeing you up close, you're even weaker than I imagined!"
The huge crescent-shaped scythe on his back was lifted with one hand and held horizontally.
His gaze swept across the three Espada behind him:
"I'm saying... I can handle all those guys myself. You just watch!"
As his words fell, Zommari kept his eyes slightly lowered without responding.
But Szayelaporro smiled: "Don't say that, Nnoitra."
He stuck out his tongue to lick his lips and continued smiling: "I'm actually getting interested in that short Soul Reaper over there."
Hearing this, Tōshirō gripping his sword felt a chill.
Shigure's gaze was fixed on the unfamiliar figure opposite them.
Without doubt, he could now confirm this was the new Tenth Espada.
After all, his number was printed right on his throat.
"Tch, what about you, new guy... got any opinions?"
Nnoitra looked down at Yuka Ludwig.
Hearing this, Yuka raised his head slightly: "Actually, before coming, Captain Aizen already told me what to do."
"What?" Nnoitra was stunned.
Yuka slowly moved his feet and walked forward.
Though his eyes were completely covered by the white bone mask on his head, he still made an "observing" motion.
"One... two... three... four... five... six... perfect..."
Yuka muttered as if talking to himself.
"Hah?! What are you doing?" Nnoitra looked at him with displeasure.
But then Yuka raised his hand and drew the blade at his waist. Facing Shigure's group, he opened his mouth slightly:
"Hiss and cry... Moonlight Butterfly!"
As his words fell, the blade disappeared from his hand.
Gray-green light surrounded him. His spiritual pressure began rapidly surging. The next moment, translucent fluorescent wings appeared on his back.
Two black antenna-like things also began extending from the white bone atop his head.
At this moment, his form indeed resembled a butterfly.
So this was his Resurrección...
Shigure narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, then without hesitation released his spiritual pressure.
BOOM!
Spiritual pressure instantly descended upon Yuka's wings!
He'd just started flapping his wings to fly up, but in that instant, as if struck by an invisible palm, he crashed straight to the ground!
Sand and dust kicked up instantly. The sound of breaking bones came from within Yuka's body.
Seeing this, the three Espada beside them showed slight changes in expression.
Spiritual pressure?!
Nnoitra immediately looked over with sharp eyes. In an instant, he locked onto Shigure as his target.
"Is it... you, kid? Heh heh heh... looks like I need to take back what I just said..."
"You bastard... you're pretty strong after all..."
His face actually showed excitement as he raised his hand, pointing his scythe at Shigure.
Shigure's expression remained calm, but his gaze wasn't on Nnoitra at all—he was still watching Yuka lying on the ground.
Then Yuka suddenly let out human laughter.
"Heh... hehe... it's useless... once Moonlight Butterfly is released... it cannot be stopped!"
As these words fell, Soi Fon and the others' expressions tensed simultaneously.
Shigure also narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, something strange suddenly happened!
From Yuka's back, between his two fluorescent wings, a pale green light appeared.
Then the light began condensing into a spherical shape and rising upward.
Under Shigure's spiritual pressure, this sphere's speed didn't slow at all.
It continued rising without any obstruction.
"What is... this...?!"
"This feeling... it's actually like the moon..."
Rangiku and the others spoke unconsciously, completely unaware what kind of power this was.
Just then, pale white light walls suddenly began appearing between each of them.
"?!"
Everyone's eyes jumped simultaneously. They instinctively tried to avoid these lights and began stepping back.
But the moment they stepped back, identical pale white lights appeared behind them like solid walls, completely separating all six of them!
At the same time, similar light walls began appearing between the Espada.
Nnoitra's expression changed as he looked fiercely at Yuka on the ground and shouted: "Hey! What kind of technique is this?!"
Yuka on the ground let out human laughter again.
"Heh... hehe... looks like... I've successfully completed... the task Captain Aizen... gave me..."
"My Moonlight Butterfly's... true ability is..."
"A labyrinth!"
