Chapter 816 Dragon King vs Shinigami


    Within the artificial space that was reminiscent of a wide desert, Kisuke and Tiamat stood opposite and a hundred meters from each other.


    Tiamat unfurled her Dragon wings and rose to the sky while Kisuke followed suit, matching her height.


    Tiamat waited quietly for a few minutes but ended up furrowing her brows and asking Kisuke, "Where is your de?" She recalled that he has a Sacred Gear in the form of a hidden de within a cane.


    In response, Kisuke smirked and said, "As you''ve said, I also want to see what you can do. If I were to pull out my de, I may not be able to gauge your abilities properly."


    A vein instantly popped out of her forehead as blue mes began to emerge and circte around her, releasing an incredible amount of heat, "Ah? Is that so? Then you better watch carefully."


    Despite appearing very cold, the strongest of the Five Great Dragon Kings is in fact, very hot-headed when ites to her treasures and fighting. Opening her mouth, Tiamat gathered the blue mes in front of her mouth andpressed it. A secondter, a blinding blue st of pure me flew up towards Kisuke.


    The st of me reached the height of 30 meters and it would''ve been hard for anyone to dodge such an epassing and punishing strike that could instantly vaporize anyone on the level of High-ss Devils and below. Contrary to her expectations, however, Tiamat saw no movements from Kisuke and heard just a single mutter, "Danku (Splitting Void)."


    A translucent rectangr, 20 meter high, 10 meter wide, barrier instantly appeared in front of Kisuke, stopping the st of me that instantly turned the sand around them into pieces of ss.


    Tiamat was a bit shocked that her breath was blocked so casually and was about to resume the next wave of attack when she suddenly felt a threat beside her. She hurriedly turned her head to the right but it was already toote as a fist had already made contact with her nose, sting her away while leaving a trail of blood, ''W-what!? When did he!?''


    As she traveled through the air, her eyesnded on Kisuke, who was behind the translucent barrier and saw him suddenly pop like a balloon, ''What the hell?'' were herst thoughts before she was buried within the sands, like a heavy object dropping into a body of water, sshing and creating waves of sands behind her.


    Kisuke brought back his fist and wiped the blood off his fingers, ''As expected of a Dragon. That punch was enough to blow away someone''s head.''


    "I knew that he could win, but I didn''t think he''d do it this easily." Cleriamented while watching the match.


    "Going against Tiamat should be a given, but even when he fought Hades and Ares, he took an unconventional form. This time around, he didn''t do any of that. He didn''t even pull out his sword.", added Diehauser while analyzing the previous sh. He imagined that if he''s on Tiamat''s foot, he couldn''t have possibly dodged that either.


    "He grew stronger, alright...", muttered Sakura, very happy for her son but also very worried and concerned as she knew that he couldn''t possibly get this much stronger by just sitting around, ''I''d heard that he''s unforgiving when training others, but how exactly does he treat himself?'' This point made her realize once again that she doesn''t know that much about her son, even if she tried acting like she knew him well enough, ''The secrets that he''s hiding... Will I ever be able to make him open up to me?''


    Meanwhile, Ajuka ,who was outside of the siblings'' observation, had a deep frown on his face. All around the Game Field he created were various measuring tools that could detect anything within the space they were moving. Instead of the ongoing fight, Ajuka was staring at the data that was entering his terminal in real-time, ''It looks like Magic down to its fluctuations, but it isn''t Magic nor the power of Souls... At most, I expected his techniques to be of an unknown system but to think I couldn''t even analyze the source he''s using... Sirzechs severely underestimated the threat he posed.''


    Kisuke stared down as the cloud of sand began to disperse.


    A few secondster, a whirlpool of sand started to form on the spot where Tiamat disappeared, but what was surprising was molten ss took up the center and began to climb up. A minuteter, it has now be a whirlpool of molten ss.


    First were the Dragon wings spanning a hundred meters, before a 50-meter long Blue Western Dragon emerged from the whirlpool and stared back at Kisuke with her bright blue eyes, "I apologize for underestimating you, but from here on, I won''t be falling for the same trick."


    "With a target as big as you, I won''t be needing any tricks to hit you.", replied Kisuke as he took a stance.


    "Hit me then," Tiamat answered, while amassing anotherpressed blue me, but in a significantly shorter amount of time and sting it towards Kisuke''s direction once again.


    Kisuke used sh Step to dodge and close the distance, but this time, Tiamat was ready and swiped her giant ws at him. Kisuke easily dodged this and maneuvered around her arm to reach her chin, sending out a fist.


    With her size right now, the most she could do was mitigate the force by jumping backwards, but she didn''t do any of those to Kisuke''s shock. While suspicious of her intentions, Kisuke still continued and his fist was connected to her chin.


    But before he could send all of the force behind his fist, Kisuke was forced to pull back and used sh Step to take some distance. When he was sure that Tiamat wouldn''t initiate a follow-up attack he took a look at the fist he threw and saw its flesh seared, reaching even the bone, "Those are some deceptive scales. I couldn''t feel much heat before touching them."


    "They are almost a million-degree Celcius hot as long as I supply them with enough Draconic Aura. And more than keeping your hand, I''m surprised that you didn''t even wince in pain. Are you sure you''re in the same generation as those brats?"


    Kisuke stopped looking at his hand and started contemting his next moves while answering, "I certainly am. But a million-degrees celsius? That must be taking an enormous amount of Draconic Aura to maintain."


    "Your worries are unfounded. I can do this all day. With that said, isn''t it about time to pull out your sword?"


    "Well, touching you is definitely going to be tough, but it''s not impossible." Tiamat''s ability made Kisuke recall thetemander of Gotei 13. But unlike this Dragon, Yamamoto''s Ryujin Jakka made him nigh impossible to touch once he releases his Bankai. If it wasn''t for Yhwach stealing his Bankai and using it against him, Yamamoto wouldn''t have died so easily, ''His position as a ''protector'' also didn''t allow him to use the full scope of his abilities. Oh well, what should I do now? Maybe test that out?''


    "Still underestimating me, I see," Tiamat replied angrily and startedpressing her blue mes once again, but this time, there were a total of 9 waiting for Kisuke and it was enough to st the whole space he moved around in.


    Not minding this, Kisuke took a deep breath and muttered, "Shunko!"
