Help! I am bound to Aizen!-Chapter 214

Chapter 214

A surge of exhilaration.

An indescribable high.

The instant his Bankai activated, Kaelith felt as though he commanded the entire world.

Reiatsu gushed endlessly from every cell, merging into a raging river within him.

Now that he controlled this river in its entirety, what could possibly stand in his way?

Even Senzo Tsunayashiro in his “super-charged” state seemed like a mere paper tiger—a single strike would shatter him.

That thought barely formed before Kaelith moved.

He lunged at Senzo, metal talons flashing gold.

Danger.

DANGER!

DANGER!!!

The moment Kaelith attacked, Senzo was overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of dread.

His soul, his instincts—every particle of his being screamed at him:

Run!!

Without hesitation, Senzo prepared to activate his Zanpakutō’s ability and roll time back.

But just as he tried, Kaelith’s voice echoed by his ear—

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“?!”

Senzo’s pupils constricted.

When… did he get so close?!

Somehow, that hellish figure had appeared right beside him, the cold gaze beneath that half-face silver helm fixed on him…

Then Kaelith darted past.

Splurch!!

A massive bloom of blood burst from Senzo’s body.

The tall, emaciated old Shinigami slowly toppled forward, plummeting from the sky.

His Zanpakutō slipped from his grasp.

Kaelith turned, eyes locked on Senzo, and kicked off the air in pursuit.

With just a casual step, he moved faster than his usual “Ikkotsu boost.”

Smack!!

A moment later, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Kaelith’s silver armor—along with the metallic claws and wing-like shield—suddenly fractured into shimmering particles that dissolved into the air.

“…Huh?”

Kaelith stared at himself, taken aback.

Then he gave a short, humorless laugh.

“So what if my Bankai’s gone? I can still fight!”

Even as he spoke, he drew his right arm back, ready to finish Senzo off.

Yet when he tried to stomp on the air, nothing formed beneath his foot.

He kicked twice to no effect, wearing a baffled look as he fell.

Fortunately, before he could drop too far, Aizen flashed by and caught him.

“Recklessly charging in without knowing your own limits… how foolish.”

With an arm clamped around Kaelith’s waist, Aizen sped away, scolding him all the while.

Kaelith twisted his neck around.

“Go, Sōsuke! He’s practically done—finish him off!”

“Move it, Sōsuke, why aren’t you moving?!”

“Panzervor!!”

Aizen gripped him even tighter, like restraining a rowdy dog, and muttered wryly, “Quit squirming.”

“We can’t give chase now. Be glad we could get out.

If not for that strike of yours, we’d never have escaped in the first place.”

Kaelith glanced downward.

Baraggan, in his skeletal form, was rushing at Senzo with his giant axe.

Also hurrying over were numerous Tsunayashiro descendants, scrambling to rescue their clan head.

Meanwhile, Szayelaporro—who’d been stalling Baraggan earlier—was now staring curiously at his own arm.

A cloud of black mist had engulfed it, creeping steadily upward.

Everywhere it passed, flesh disintegrated to ash, leaving only bone. Then even the bone would crumble a few seconds later.

Szayelaporro looked almost excited by this phenomenon, as though he wanted to keep it for further research.

After a brief hesitation, he sighed.

The black mist spread too fast, and even his Reiatsu couldn’t halt it.

Left unchecked, he’d be dead before he could dissect anything.

With a decisive slash, he lopped off his own arm without a second thought.

Then he glanced upward, grinning.

“Boss is gone, so I’ll take my leave as well.

Until next time, ‘Lord’ Baraggan~”

His figure vanished in a flash.

Harribel looked toward a far-off dune where a faint glow flickered.

It was the signal she’d arranged with Sunsun—indicating the others had been rescued.

Harribel breathed a sigh of relief.

She brandished her sword to push back the Adjuchas closing in, then bounded away in several leaps.

Seeing Senzo carried off by his kin, Kaelith clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Still running gracefully beneath Hueco Mundo’s moonlit sky, Aizen looked down at Kaelith sulking in his arms and gave a quiet chuckle.

“Kaelith, aren’t you forgetting why we came here in the first place?”

Kaelith paused, then grinned at the second Zanpakutō hanging from his waist.

“Oh right, we’re here on a treasure hunt!”

“The Enra Kyōten… the prized heirloom of one of the Five Noble Clans. We’re loaded now!

Once we get back, I’ll sell this baby, dine like a king for the rest of my days—no more tiptoeing around Old Man Yamamoto, no more Shinigami drudgery!”

Listening to Kaelith’s triumphant laugh, Aizen couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

“Our objective was to weaken either Senzo Tsunayashiro or Baraggan.

With two tigers sharing one mountain, if both remain strong, they maintain a tense equilibrium.

But if one shows vulnerability, the other will surely move to devour him.”

“Relax—it won’t require another chase. Senzo Tsunayashiro is finished.”

Kaelith blinked, processing this for a few seconds, then smiled broadly.

“Ha! That’s exactly why you make the perfect villain.”

Aizen: “…”

He had half a mind to drop Kaelith right then and there.

They touched down on a stretch of dunes.

Despite the shifting sand underfoot, Aizen’s composure never wavered—he stood as steadily as if on solid ground.

Kaelith hopped off him, lost his balance, and promptly plopped down into the sand.

He shook his head and rose to his feet.

Only moments ago in Las Noches, he could barely move, yet he now seemed to be recovering at an unbelievable rate.

Watching his companion’s rapid return to form, Aizen felt a hint of wonder.

Even Hollows with regeneration abilities would be in awe of Kaelith’s constitution.

Before long, Harribel arrived with her three subordinates in tow.

She strode forward the moment she saw Kaelith.

Aizen quietly shifted his stance, ready to protect a certain someone from any sudden aggression.

Under everyone’s gaze, Harribel halted before Kaelith.

Then, without hesitation, she dropped to one knee.

“Kaelith… thank you for your help.

If there is anything you need in the future, just say the word. I will carry out your orders anytime!”
