Shin Kasumiōji had found his secret stash in the Fugai district and successfully retrieved the few Bakutō he had collected.
"Now that we have the swords, let's finish our business before returning to the Dangai," he said coldly.
As he led his clan members from the stash, they crossed the back mountain of the Katori Dojo and discovered Sora and the others training there. Although they hated him to the bone for ruining their plans, they did not attack recklessly. Their Zanpakutō had been confiscated, and Sora had the strength of a high-ranking seated officer.
They weren't confident they could take him without their blades. They planned to get the Bakutō first and then come back for revenge.
These five were the top combatants of the Kasumiōji family. With the boost from the Bakutō, their strength soared. They were now equivalent to two lieutenant-level and three seated officer-level fighters. This was the strength the Kasumiōji family had accumulated over many years.
The five arrived at the mountain forest and soon found Sora and his group by the pool. One of them raised his Bakutō. His sword looked like a beehive, covered in countless small holes.
"Go, Spirit-Devouring Nest!"
...
"There are too many mosquitoes in the summer, especially here in the mountains," Kensei said, waving his hand to drive them away. "Is there a Kidō to repel them?"
"There's no such Kidō," Shinji rolled his eyes. "Why don't you just use your Spiritual Pressure to drive them away."
"That's true, but I can't keep it released all the time. It's tiring," Kensei said, but he was getting annoyed and released his energy anyway.
"Your method isn't working!" he said, stunned. The mosquitoes were unaffected and even landed on his skin, beginning to drink his blood.
"These aren't ordinary mosquitoes!!!" Kensei felt his Spiritual Pressure draining, while the mosquitoes' bodies rapidly swelled. He slapped one, and it was instantly flattened.
However, the mosquito suddenly exploded like a spiritual pressure bomb. BOOM—
Shinji was thrown back by the blast. When he looked up, Kensei was already on the ground, his arm bleeding profusely.
"Damn it, what was that! Are you okay?!"
"Cough, cough—not dead yet... stop shaking, it hurts like hell!" Kensei gritted his teeth. "I think my bones are broken!"
"Why did it suddenly explode?" The others heard the noise and rushed over.
"Everyone, be careful! These mosquitoes explode!" Shinji shouted.
Sora's Zanpakutō was engulfed in raging flames as he stepped forward. Sekichō! A flash of fire streaked across the sky, and a large number of the mosquitoes fell.
"These are not natural. We have an enemy!" Sora said, taking a moment to check Kensei's injuries.
"Shine, Naruneko!" Yoruichi's short sword was wreathed in electricity, which shot into the air and formed an electric net. The air crackled as if an electric fly swatter had been swung into a swarm.
Sora quickly used Kaidō on Kensei, but before he could finish, another attack came. A fissure shot through the ground from the forest.
Sora used Shunpo to appear in front of it and slammed his fist into the ground. Tekken! BOOM— A crater exploded in the earth, and the attack was neutralized.
He then raised two fingers and thrust them forward. Shiken! The spiritual blade shot out, piercing a large tree. A muffled grunt came from the forest.
"All together!" Five figures rushed out from the trees.
Sora's eyes narrowed when he saw the weapons in their hands. Bakutō! The Kasumiōji remnants?!
He quickly said to his disciples, "I'll hold them off! You guys go!"
"Professor, we can fight too!"
"Rii and Isane, take Kensei and leave!" Sora ordered, judging the enemies' spiritual pressure.
"Wait, I think I can still fight!" Kensei protested as Rii and Isane began to drag him away.
Sora blocked Shin Kasumiōji and Ryū Kasumiōji. He plunged his black blade into the ground, and their bodies stiffened for a moment.
"Balance, Tenzui Shinkotsu!" Sora drew his other sword, intending to take one of them out instantly. His target was the one with the strongest Spiritual Pressure, Ryū Kasumiōji.
Sora vanished. The next moment, four afterimages appeared around Ryū. Katori Style: Four-Directional Shungeki! Squelch—
Ryū was hit by four slashes, two of which directly triggered the effect of Tenzui Shinkotsu.
"How—No—NO!!!" Ryū's face was filled with horror as his body began collapsing and disintegrating. He couldn't believe it. After the boost from his Bakutō, not even a normal lieutenant could handle him. Yet now, Katori Sora had destroyed his spiritual body in a single exchange.
"Why... am I falling here..." he murmured as his body faded away completely.
Sora felt a wave of weakness, the sensation of his Spiritual Pressure rapidly draining. He took out a Nōreidan and swallowed it. The weakness gradually faded.
He glanced at the other battles. Shin Kasumiōji was still frozen in fear from what he had just witnessed. Yoruichi was single-handedly holding off one of the other invaders, while Aizen, Uemon, Shinji, and Kana teamed up against the remaining two. His disciples were holding their own.
Sora pulled Kagehime from the ground. "Shin Kasumiōji... you just don't know when to quit."
Shin was still too afraid to advance. "What is that ability?!"
Sora smiled slightly. "The ability to kill you. You should have stayed in the Dangai instead of coming here to die."
Shin's face contorted with rage. "Staying in the Dangai is just a slow death! It's better to fight for a chance!"
"It seems you have a stash of Bakutō hidden in the Soul Society. The Seireitei's search was not very thorough," Sora said, feeling his Spiritual Pressure had recovered enough for another fight.
"Since you're in such a hurry to go to hell, then I will oblige."
