Help! I am bound to Aizen!

Chapter 118

Chapter 118

As Kaelith's soul domain extended into the room, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He had thought there was someone inside the study.

But in fact, what was inside was an inanimate object.

It possessed a powerful spiritual pressure but was not alive.

Could this be some secret experiment that Kirio Hikifune was conducting?

If so, perhaps he had come at a bad time.

At Kirio Hikifune's level, needing to conduct such clandestine experiments likely meant it was highly significant.

From head to toe, it was probably filled with violations of regulations.

If it were him, and someone discovered such a dangerous thing, he certainly wouldn't count on the other person's discretion.

It was time to slip away.

Thinking this, Kaelith quietly turned around, preparing to leave.

After taking a few steps—just enough to conceal his own presence—he crouched slightly, ready to use Shunpo to escape.

But at that very moment, a long black cloth suddenly shot out from the study window!

Although it was just fabric, it moved with extreme speed.

With almost no time to react, the cloth had already reached the back of Kaelith's head.

A bit closer, and the sharp edge of the fabric would have cut his skin!

Bang!!!

The shooting cloth fiercely struck a black shadow that had appeared out of nowhere.

The fabric bent at a ninety-degree angle and continued flying upward at a terrifying speed.

Kaelith took advantage of this moment to roll forward and draw his Zanpakut? from his waist.

What on earth just attacked me?!

A piece of cloth?

Did I just encounter Upper Moon Six? (t/n Hot take, Demon Slayer doesn't deserve its fame...)

Looking at the long fabric that seemed ready to slice him apart at any moment, Kaelith couldn't help but wonder.

Although he didn't know what was happening, he quickly made a decision.

Run!

If he couldn't figure out the situation, he could ask his teacher or Aizen later.

But if he lost his life now, it would all be over!

Just then, the study door suddenly opened.

In Kaelith's somewhat stunned gaze, a "figure" slowly floated out.

It was a gorgeous woman's kimono.

As the description suggests, only the clothing floated out from the room.

The kimono seemed to be propped up by an invisible "body," appearing shapely and elegant.

It was as if an invisible person was standing there wearing the garment.

But Kaelith was 100% certain that there was nothing inside the clothes.

His eyes might deceive him, but his soul domain would not!

The black cloth that had just attacked him had extended from this self-moving garment.

Was this... a piece of clothing possessed by an artificial soul?

But he didn't sense any artificial soul aura on it.

Could it be a bound spirit?

Perhaps it was a kimono that Kirio Hikifune loved to wear in the past but had gradually abandoned as certain parts of her body grew, making it no longer fit.

Over time, it developed resentment...

Thinking of this, Kaelith showed a gentle expression.

"You've been through a lot, kimono. Being abandoned due to unreasonable circumstances must have been hard."

"Don't worry; I don't dislike simpler styles—in fact, I quite like them."

"So, please ascend peacefully."

Saying this, he put his hands together in prayer.

Kimono: "???"

Hearing Kaelith's prayer, the kimono trembled slightly.

A voice echoed in the air:

"I'm not lacking, you know..."

"Though I can't compare to someone as over-the-top as Kirio, I have my own charms!"

As soon as the words fell, four or five black cloth strips shot out! Unlike the tentative attack earlier, this time it was clearly personal.

The incredibly sharp cloth strips, tearing through the air, surrounded Kaelith from all directions!

"This bound spirit is too strong... Is its resentment from being abandoned really this deep?"

Facing such a powerful attack, Kaelith didn't dare be careless.

He swung his sword, deflecting the cloth strips while moving toward the courtyard wall.

"Trying to escape?"

The bound spirit quickly noticed Kaelith's intention.

She controlled the five cloth strips, constantly changing their attack angles, forcing Kaelith to alter his path.

While parrying the attacks, Kaelith pondered.

What exactly is this thing?

It's not an artificial soul, yet it has complete logical thinking, consciousness, and actions.

There must be a controller behind it.

However, even with his soul domain probing, he couldn't find any control mechanism.

For a moment, Kaelith became intrigued.

From the opponent's earlier words, he sensed that the controller behind the kimono was not Kirio Hikifune.

In that case, there's no need to hold back!

Thinking this, Kaelith suddenly increased his speed.

He swung his blade, and several sword beams instantly condensed, tracing long arcs as they closed in on the kimono.

Then, he swung his sword again.

Blue fireballs formed in the air, continuously bombarding the kimono.

Amidst the chaos, he quietly summoned an invisible shadow swordsman to approach the kimono.

Facing Kaelith's sudden shift from defense to offense, the bound spirit controlling the kimono was a bit surprised.

A Soul Reaper this young being able to hold out against her was already impressive.

She didn't expect he had so many tricks up his sleeve to counterattack.

She retracted the cloth strips she had sent out, unfolding layers of defense to block Kaelith's sword beams and blue fireballs.

Just when she thought she had successfully defended against all attacks, a strong sense of danger suddenly came from an empty direction!

Her powerful combat instincts made her send out a cloth strip to block.

In the next second, to her astonishment, an invisible sword slashed onto the cloth strip.

Her supposedly invincible heavenly garment defense was actually cut through!

Although this was just a garment she controlled with secret arts and not her true form, it was still shocking.

This was her personally crafted "Heavenly Garment"!

Under her control, this garment was absolutely at the level of a top captain.

And now, it had been cut by a young man?!

Had she become weak from not fighting for so long, or had the Soul Society changed beyond recognition in just a few hundred years?

This brief moment of surprise was caught by Kaelith.

He casually tossed his Zanpakut? aside, the blade embedding itself into the ground.

Then, he leaped high into the air, his expression fierce, right fist clenched tightly, gathering strength!

Powerful energy condensed on his fist!

With this punch, no matter what kind of entity the opponent was, they would have to reveal their true form!

Watching the young man charging toward her, the "kimono" suddenly felt a bit nervous.

Clearly, if the opponent faced her true form, he wouldn't even be qualified to touch the hem of her garment.

But seeing his unabashedly aggressive eyes, she couldn't help but feel an urge to retreat.

Instinctively, she released her spiritual pressure.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to surge like an overwhelming tide!
