Chapter 974 Magical Girls’ True Abilities


    Before ire, Tanis, Kunou, Ophis, Lilith, and nna arrived, Kisuke prepared and strengthened the training grounds as much as possible to properly contain theing destruction.


    Four hours past midnight, except for the sleeping Dragon, the self-proimed Magical Girls arrived, and just in time with Kisuke having just finished up with his modifications, "You''re here. Let''s get started."


    ire looked around. She could feel the changes within the training grounds and asked, "How are you maintaining this sort of barrier?" Unlike before, the fluctuation of Magic Power could now be clearly felt in the entirety of the training grounds. Since the Magic Power wasn''ting from Kisuke, ire naturally became quite curious.


    "I have several modules installed that can passively store leaking chaotic Magic Power from the Dimensional Gap and convert it to something usable."


    Kunou''s eyebrows shoot up in surprise, "Wouldn''t that mean that you have an unlimited supply of Magic Power!?"


    "Technically, but only to a certain extent. These modules, aside from not being very efficient, also break down quite often and their cores degrade from use. That means I''ll only have Magic Power for as long as it''s running, which isn''t very long. And right now, I''m just draining what they''ve stored for some time to power these barriers for a few hours. Because of this, it can only be used in a few applications and most of them are for emergencies only. Compared to the effort required to run these things, I have better things to do."


    "It''s still an incredible piece of technology." Kunou replied, "Although it might be of limited use for you, I''m sure it''ll be very useful for someone else."


    Kisuke then jumped back tens of meters back while saying, "I know what you''re saying, but that''s exactly the reason I won''t be sharing this. As you know, I have more enemies than allies out there. I''d like to spare myself from being hit in the back of my head. Enough of that, let''s begin."


    Tanis and Kunou also distanced themselves from ire to create a suitable space for them to act. Meanwhile, Ophis and Lilith also took their distance after sessfully reading the room.


    "How do we do this?" ire asked.


    "Juste at me. Use everything you have except for Soul Gears." Kisuke then smiled widely and released an enormous amount of bloodlust, "Try killing me."


    At the onset of the killing intent, the girls shuddered and their hearts started palpitating. The most affected was Tanis with her enhanced senses as she inadvertently released her disguise and revealed her blue skin, Dragon wings, and the starry-like obsidian gem on her forehead.


    It''s not their first time feeling someone''s killing intent, but since they technically haven''t joined any conflict, they were instantly taken aback by Kisuke''s dense killing intent.


    Seeing them covered in a cold sweat, Kisuke chuckled, "Don''t worry. I''ll just defend and dodge but won''t attack. Although I''ll make sure to tell you when I can kill you."


    ire swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to ease up the nervousness she was feeling before sending a telepathic signal to Kunou and Tanis that only they could understand. In the next second, the corner of Tanis'' lips suddenly caught on fire with blue mes before she opened her mouth and revealed two rows of razor-sharp teeth.


    A blue Magic Circle appeared in front of Tanis'' mouth before she released a blue beam of me aimed directly at Kisuke. The path that the me went through instantly melted and although it had the same power as Issei''s Dragon Shot that could st away a mountain, Kisuke just deflected it to the side using the back of his hand that was covered with a small hexagonal shield.


    But while he was doing that, the solid ground below him suddenly liquefied. Kisuke''s response, like others, was to pull his feet out from the swamp-like ground, but he failed to do so as he felt numerous spikes try to pierce through his ankles and feet but just ended up biting them instead, ''Wow. How merciless.'' Kisukemented inside his head. If not for his durability, most people would have lost everything below their legs. And since it was Youjutsu, it was harder to notice than normal spells.


    Although it''d be easy for Kisuke to pull himself out, it''d take a few seconds. Naturally, ire wouldn''t throw away this opportunity and lunged at Kisuke from above while baring her fist.


    ire''s long grey hair swayed in the air as a vast amount of Demonic Power gathered around her fist. However, this wasn''t the first thing that Kisuke noticed, but her glowing grey eyes, ''What is she nullifying?'', he asked himself while raising her hand to catch her fist.


    ''Thankfully'', he got his answer less than a secondter. The moment her fistnded on his palm, Kisuke felt his always active Hierro disperse into nothing for his entire arm, "!?"


    The skin and veins on Kisuke''s arm instantly split open from the impact of the collision, spurting blood everywhere, ''This kid...''


    And because he didn''t have a proper footing, Kisuke came crashing down to the ground that had already hardened back.


    Soil and dust erupted around the area where Kisuke is and covered the visibility. But for ire, she could still see as clear as day through her Magic senses. But just as she was about to continue attacking, a grim premonition suddenly screamed at her whole being and made her jump back as far as possible while preparing as many defensive spells as possible.


    After a brief sh, a moment of peace immediately came. The dust settled down a few momentster revealing Kisuke still hadn''t gotten up but he was now holding his Zanpakuto in his right hand. Before ire could fish out a second strike, Kisuke threatened her with a swipe of his Zanpakuto.


    ''This kid...'' Kisuke continued his thoughts, ''...Has been studying the properties of my skills.''


    ire, Kunou, and Tanis were about to resume their attacks when Kisuke suddenly startedughing out loud as he stood up, "Fuhahaha! Great! This is great!"


    Since his hat flew off when he mmed into the ground, he swept his messy hair back. But what the girls saw was his ckened sclera, "Let''s continue, shall we~?"


    This time, Kisuke released his Reiatsu to weigh down on the girls.

    An hourter, ire, Kunou, and Tanis were huffing and puffing whileying on the ground, "What the hell... Why is Kisuke-niisan so tough!? That was everything!" ireined.


    Kunou chuckled at her while wiping away her sweat, "You mean everything plus something extra from you."


    Tanis was tired of thinking about the battle and was slowly pping her wings andining about something different, "I''m hungry."


    Meanwhile, Kisuke, in his Hollowfied Form with his Shikai released, was staring at his fully scorched right arm, [Those girls really gave you a run for your money, huh? Especially ire. Who would have thought she''d pull something like that? How was that even possible?] Benihime''s voice rang in his head.


    [Truly... How was that possible?] Kisuke asked back while thinking of thest attack they pulled.
