"At a time like this, you don't think I stink anymore?"
Cole put his clothes away, then casually rubbed hard at the bulge on his chest.
A few seconds later.
The little black cat's head poked out, baring her fangs at Cole. "Stop rubbing it around! What if the Quincy notice?!"
"Oh? You've still got the nerve to yell at me?" Cole's interest rose. As he walked, he vigorously kneaded the little black cat's head. "You talked trash about me earlier, didn't you? Apologize right now, or believe it or not, I'll pet you until you're bald!"
"Meow!!"
The little black cat kept glaring viciously at him.
One man and one cat kept bickering like that as they left the prison area.
They had only just left.
And right after, a Quincy arrived here—an extremely rare female Quincy.
A military cap with the Wandenreich emblem.
Long hair falling past her waist, a short skirt uniform.
A heart-shaped badge on her chest, a belt with a heart insignia, black thigh-high stockings and long boots.
She looked like the perfect fusion of authority and sex appeal.
She stopped, licked her lips, and looked with interest at Cole's back as he left.
"Not a member of the Hueco Mundo Hunting Force, but wearing the Military Police uniform… Since when did they have such a handsome man over there?"
She wanted to chase after him, but when she looked at the Menos imprisoned here, she hesitated.
In the end, she gave up on the idea.
She stared at the many Menos as if choosing livestock, and finally locked onto an Adjuchas-class Menos.
"Hehe… a bunch of mindless livestock, and yet something like this can still be born."
She licked her lips again. With a wave of her right hand toward the cage, the cell door—secured by multiple restraints—opened just like that.
Seeing this, the Adjuchas with intelligence inside instantly lit up with hope in his eyes.
He dashed out without hesitation, threw a terrified glance at the female Quincy, then fled into the distance without looking back.
He had to escape.
Escape this group of devils dressed in white.
Back to the endless white desert on the other side.
Only there was home.
When she saw him run, the female Quincy didn't panic at all. Instead, a cruel expression surfaced as she strode after him.
"Bastard, you think you can get away?!"
Unlike the Hirenkyaku (Flying Scythe Step) Uryu had shown, her Hirenkyaku (Flying Scythe Step) was hundreds of times faster.
She only lightly stepped on the ground—and crossed several hundred meters in an instant.
The Adjuchas ahead, who had been using Sonido (Resounding Transfer) to flee like mad, abruptly stopped and stared in horror at the female Quincy who had appeared in front of him.
"Damn Quincy, get out of my way!!! What are you trying to do to me?! Why did you capture me from Hueco Mundo?!"
Back in Hueco Mundo, he had been a Gillian—yet unlike ordinary Gillian, he had intelligence.
Then the Quincy captured him and brought him to the Wandenreich.
Here, he and many of his kind were thrown into a massive cage.
The Quincy didn't provide them with food, so driven by hunger, they could only keep devouring their own kind.
Until only he was left.
And because of that, he evolved into an Adjuchas.
Then, a Quincy came, looking down at him with lofty eyes, ordering him to kneel and submit to the Quincy.
But even though he had just evolved into an Adjuchas, he still had what could be called pride.
So he didn't obey.
Instead, acting on instinct, he fired a Cero (Zero) to kill that Quincy.
The result—he was easily crushed, captured again by the Quincy.
After that, the Quincy didn't question him anymore.
They threw him into a laboratory and performed countless experiments on him, squeezing out every last bit of value.
Then, battered and scarred, they tossed him back into the cage.
Time returned to the present.
After hearing the Adjuchas speak, the female Quincy laughed, looking pleased.
"Not bad. You can even talk like a human."
"I wonder how your screams sound, though?"
A vicious gleam surfaced in her eyes. She raised her right hand—an azure spirit bow formed in her left. She nocked an arrow.
Whoosh!
A blue arrow shot out like a meteor.
With a shhk, it pierced the Adjuchas's left arm.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The Adjuchas let out a heart-rending scream. Blood gushed as he clutched the severed arm and writhed wildly.
The female Quincy watched for two seconds, then disdain appeared in her gaze.
"What? You don't even have Kosoku Saisei (High-Speed Regeneration)?"
She considered capturing this Hollow and dragging a new one out, but in the end, she didn't have the patience.
So she drew her bow again.
Two more blue arrows shot out at extreme speed.
Shhk! Shhk!
Two piercing sounds—his screams turned even more shrill.
Because two of his four legs had been blown off.
He no longer had the ability to keep running. With a thud, he dropped to his knees, staring at the female Quincy with hatred and terror intertwined.
She let out a delighted laugh and walked closer, step by step.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you running anymore? Don't tell me you thought I wouldn't kill you like those other Quincy?"
As she spoke, she casually fired dozens more arrows.
These arrows were clearly weaker than the earlier shots, yet they still carried enough power to easily pierce the Hollow's hierro-like steel skin.
The Adjuchas screamed even more miserably, rolling across the ground in agony.
Blood poured out like a fountain.
Driven by pain, he kept yanking the blue arrows out of himself to delay death.
At the same time, he crawled and rolled away into the distance, completely stripped of the terror and brutality an Adjuchas should have.
The female Quincy didn't seem hurried at all. She trailed behind him at an unhurried pace.
Enjoying his screams and suffering.
Gradually, a flushed red spread across her cheeks. She cupped her face with both hands, gazing at the Hollow's miserable state with pleasure.
"Don't worry. I won't let you die that easily."
"I really want to know… after I shave off your arms, thighs, ribs, eyes, ears, nose… all of it…"
"Can a piece of livestock like you still live?"
"And if you're still alive then… just how sweet will your screams be?"
And she truly did exactly that—continuously firing arrows into the Hollow.
More wounds.
Sharper screams.
Slower and slower movement.
In the end, even this Adjuchas fell into despair. He stopped, boundless hatred surging in his eyes.
"You damn Quincy—ALL OF YOU!!!"
With that roar, the Adjuchas abruptly turned around and opened his mouth.
A crimson Cero (Zero) formed.
He was about to counterattack.
But in the split second before the Cero (Zero) could fire, a blue arrow tore through the air—
It smashed the Cero (Zero) inside his mouth, dispersing it.
And it didn't stop there.
It blasted a hole through the left side of his mouth, tearing half his face into pulp.
Blood streamed out, dyeing the ground red.
With that heavy wound, the Adjuchas completely lost the ability to run.
He collapsed, letting out whimpering cries through the broken side of his face.
So much pain that even a Hollow—known for darkness and brutality—shed tears.
But when the female Quincy saw this, not only did she feel no pity—she became even more excited, even more feverish.
The flush on her face deepened.
She even let out a moan.
Clicking across the ground in white boots, she walked up to the Adjuchas. Her expression was cruel as she made a gesture—turning her spirit bow into a long blade.
She slashed downward.
Another wound opened across the already mangled body.
The Adjuchas convulsed violently, leaking howling whimpers, desperately smashing his head down against the ground.
But seeing that, the female Quincy grew dissatisfied instead.
She raised her foot in rage.
Stomped on the Adjuchas's head and ground it down hard, shouting:
"Keep going! Keep struggling! Keep screaming! What's wrong—this is all you've got?!"
The Adjuchas's head was forced into the sand, snow-white grit smearing across him. His leaking screams never stopped.
After several seconds, the female Quincy finally lifted her foot, staring down at the Adjuchas with fanatic hunger.
"Come on. Keep struggling. Let me step on you."
The Adjuchas had been terrified to the extreme. With his last strength, he stuck out his tongue—
And licked the female Quincy's white boot.
He was willing to submit.
Willing to bow to these Quincy.
But when she saw it, the female Quincy exploded in fury. Her right foot slammed down viciously.
"Damn livestock!!!"
Bang!
A spray of blood burst out.
The Hollow's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering several meters around in red.
The female Quincy panted hard, the desire in her heart nearly reaching its peak. Her eyes burned as she looked toward the other Hollows.
In the end, she fixed on a Hollow that was barely humanoid, hideous like a hermit crab.
"It's you. Die for me!"
Just as she was about to wave her hand and release it, a cold voice came from not far away.
"Bambietta, what are you doing here?"
The female Quincy—Bambietta—froze. The feverish look on her face slowly faded as she turned around with a cold stare.
"Quilge… what I'm doing here isn't something I need to report to you."
The newcomer was a male Quincy, wearing a military cap, round sunglasses, and a white Quincy short cloak.
His expression was exceptionally indifferent.
He glanced at the Hollow Bambietta had stomped to death and spoke flatly.
"What you do doesn't require reporting to me. However—these Hollows were all captured by me. I don't recall giving you permission to kill them."
Annoyance flashed through Bambietta's eyes.
Of course she knew this was the Hueco Mundo Hunting Force's territory.
But she really wanted to try it—torture intelligent Hollows with Kosoku Saisei (High-Speed Regeneration), especially Arrancar-class ones.
To see what expressions and screams they'd show under extreme cruelty.
She just hadn't expected Quilge to come back so quickly.
So she said coldly, "Quilge, are you really going to fight me over a piece of livestock?"
Quilge pushed up his glasses and replied indifferently, "I won't clash with you over livestock. But don't forget—His Majesty is about to awaken."
"Using these Adjuchas-class Hollows to cultivate a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow…"
"That's an order personally issued by Jugram. I trust you won't cause trouble at a time like this, right?"
At the mention of His Majesty, fear surfaced in Bambietta's eyes.
Even the cruelty-driven desire in her heart got forced down.
She resentfully glanced at the remaining Hollows, clenched her teeth, snorted, and walked away in her blood-stained white boots.
Watching Bambietta leave, Quilge finally withdrew his gaze and looked coldly at the many Hollows in the prison.
"Put this batch of Hollows into the arena. Today, raise two more Adjuchas for me."
As he finished speaking, several Quincy in white robes appeared, responding respectfully as they moved toward the Hollows.
Meanwhile.
Bambietta, who had been forcibly driven away, walked with anger flashing in her beautiful eyes, kicking stones as she went.
"Damn Quilge… a man with zero taste. Actually clashing with me over a little livestock…"
The Hollow's blood, screams, and wails kept echoing in her mind.
That unsatisfied desire reignited in her chest, making her unconsciously press a hand against her full breasts—
Kneading as she gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, Bambietta halted, remembering the male Quincy she had seen earlier in the Hueco Mundo Hunting Force.
That man…
He seemed pretty handsome.
A flushed look rose in Bambietta's eyes again.
She stuck out a red tongue to lick her lips.
Then she turned toward the direction Cole had left.
With a single step, she launched forward—chasing after him at extreme speed.
