Chapter 11 - Encounter with a legend: The lie of the light.

(I DO NOT OWN BLEACH, I ONLY OWN MY OC'S AND PLOTS.)

God pov.

Few days after 'surprise'.

Clanging sounds and flashing lights could be seen and heard in the middle of the forest, two figures could be seen exchanging blows in a small clearing in a small clearing between the trees.

These figures were of course Wisp and Soi Fon.

They were sparring, crossing swords, they met in the middle of the clearing.

Soi Fon was straining against Wisp's monstruous strenght and speed while Wisp while holding back so as to not destroy his opponent and best friend was also straining his senses and mind to predict her hits as she was way more experimented and stealthy so much so that he sometimes lost her presence with his senses.

Trying for a leg sweep, Soi Fon's legs were swept from under her but that didn't mean anything to her as she promptly send a high kick to Wisp's head using the momentum and his now open guard to her advantage.

The blow landed squarely on Wisp's face which made him tilt his head backwards from the force of the hit, Wisp then grabbed Soi Fon while she was air borne and threw her backwards into a tree. Soi Fon landed on the tree, her training kicked in and she landed safely on the tree using her sword as a "branch" to step on.

They looked at each other for a moment and resumed their training, appearing and diseapering several times, leaving after images behind them while their swords clashed, sparks flying from their swords. Wisp was trying to locate her with his 6th senses mostly and tried to defend against the onslaught of attack that rained upon him, while Soi Fon tried to breach his defence and escape his senses.

After some more time, Soi Fon stopped in front of Wisp panting with exhaustion, she was a little rough up here and there but she wasn't hurt while Wisp looked like nothing happened to him although physically he was alright, mentally he was a little tired.

"How... to you do... it, you looked like nothing happened to you!" She said still gasping for breath.

"Well, you know that I am very different from most." Wisp said smirking.

They went back to Wisp's place, cleaned up, ate and settled down, Wisp took out a bone and began to chew on it.

The story behind that was that when he tried to nibble on Soi Fon's neck she shoved a branch in his face which he bit on and began to use as some kind of chew toy, he then spat out the wood and grabbed a bone and began nibbling on it, he kept the bone and still uses it like right now.

They both deduced that he had some wolf like tendencies and some kind of connection to them as when they came to him they treated him like one of them.

Soi Fon ,although she is a cat person (mainly because of Yuroichi), squealed at the sight of Wisp playing with a small pack of wolves while also behaving like one, it was just to adorable. They couldn't see her as she is a shinigami but they could see him as he had a physical body.

Hence why he is now chewing on a bone, he cooked some vegetables with meat for him and fish for Soi Fon, in their time together he learned she didn't like meat and only ate fish.

They ate together, laughing with each other, they were closer since the first time they met and both relaxed significantly in the others company.

After they ate, they kept on talking to each other until to be both feel asleep peacefully next to each other on the bench, they weren't cold as Wisp had temperate resistance and and emitted heat, he was basically a living, walking heater so Soi Fon was pretty cozy.

Meanwhile In a far away land

Two men were walking in some plains with hunting equipment when suddenly they found themselves surrounded by a purple storm cloud, they panicked and screamed when they saw a ghostly figure jump towards them, to the rest of the world the two men disappeared without a trace leaving two beings clad in jet black armour with a purple shine, one had heavy armour like the black knight of legends while the other wore lighter armour but the peculiar thing was his head was missing replaced by a translucent skull surrounded by purple fire/smoke.

The wraiths soon began marching torwards their objective destroying everything in their path.

The forest

Days passed, then months and finally years without much happening, they took down hollows together, trained together, ate together and they have grown even closer than before, Soi Fon has improved by leaps and bounds but Wisp had improved greatly as well and was many times stronger than his old self but he reached a plateau and his strenght stagnated mostly because he didn't have a worthy opponent in a long time so he didn't improve much.

Wisp now had full control over his body and senses, he also discovered he could wield and transform multiple energies, what was the limits he still didn't know. He also trained with Ken and was able to go blow for blow against.

Wisp kept monitoring Song's progress while she learned with the sword saint and she made good progress, although still not enough to be threatening to him.

Well today Wisp wanted to change this and set out to meet the holy sword Song talked about years ago, he was confident he could gain something from this and get stronger than before.

Wisp explained that warriors which could rival his own strenght and more existed and walked upon the human world, Soi Fon was shocked to learn about this energy humans could wield instead of Reiatsu, when he told her he already met two of them and was going to go meet the third on his list which was the source of the reiatsu in the middle of the forest she decided to come with him.

He also told her the warrior he was looking for was supposedly a "holy warrior", she was sceptical about it since Holy Warriors were extinct thousands of years ago but decided to go nonetheless.

So they began to head towards the Center of the forest, the way there was actually beautiful, with the greenery being infused with reiatsu it was stronger and even more beautiful than some of the best sights in the world. Wisp and Soi Fon both knew that this was somehow connected to the reiatsu located in the Center of this forest.

They soon came across scattered armour pieces, sliced skeletons, broken weapons and signs of battles, they looked like it happened very long ago.

When they reached the middle, they crossed an invisible barrier which kept the now crushing reiatsu from leaking outside to much, effectively hidding itself from the eyes of all for milleniums. No wonder no human could find this warrior, this barrier warped perception and only supernatural warriors could enter.

They saw an armoured figure kneeling down at the very Center with a sword through its back and out of its ċhėst, black blood flowing slowly, the once holy sword was corrupted by death and misery, the light was now a fearsome and burning one instead of gentle, healing one.

The figure's armour was grey, looked light but extremely durable, it had dents and cuts all over it, the blade that went through it, emitted a strong feeling of light but also had the same corrupt shine to it.

It looks like the last battle of these holy warriors happened here, corrupted by something unknown forcing them to destroy each other.

Once Wisp had taken a step towards the clearly still alive figure, the blade transpercing him glowed and shattered, scattering itself in the wind.

This was followed by a guttural groan, the figure stood up and towered over Wisp, emitting bloodlust not unlike that of Hollows, it also had the same aura as the purple cloud, this idea was reinforced by the growing fleshy purple veins in its torso where the wound once was.

The figure spoke in a broke old voice"What is thee nameth warri'r?"

"I am named Wisp, may I know yours?" Wisp answered back bowing slightly as a salutation

"Mine own nameth is Reinhardt" Answered the now named figure, also bowing as salutation.

"Although thy aura is yond of a goodyear (demon), i can seeth yond thy heart is not yond of one. And by mine own holidam (oath) I shouldst purify thee. but t wouldst only beest hypocrisy as i am as c'rrupt'd as mine own sw'rd. " Reinhardt said slightly, after a pause he spoke again.

"I am afraid mine own timeth is coming, warri'r Wisp, f'r the c'rruption is stout and is transf'rming me into a mindless beast seeking nothing but bloodlust" Reinhardt said sadly.

"Then please allow me to finally put you to rest great warrior Reinhardt" Wisp answered back.

Wisp had already come to respect the man a lot, first because he survived something no else but him should have survived, and he was strong, a lot stronger than he was currently, and extremely old and experienced, Reinhardt truly was a great holy warrior.

"Thy off'r is greatly appreciated, may this gl'rious duel marketh hist'ry" the man boomed, readying his corrupted holy sword.

Wisp pov.

I look at this man with respect and unsheath my Zanpakuto while also summoning my shinigami attire. I ready myself, tensing my muscles. The real pressure the man radiates isn't as strong as Raion the Adjucha I fought years ago, nor is he the equal of Zaraki but the aura he emitted was many times greater than the both of them combined.

He felt like an immovable mountain, I was going to take him on, slowly, a crazy battle hungry grin formed on my face, my blood boiling in my veins. It's been so long since I've been so excited.

In the corner of my eye I saw Soi Fon slowly retreating to a nearby tree.

Seconds passed as we looked at each other, unmoving. Then, without a sound, our swords clashed.

At first nothing happened but as soon as we stopped moving, the sound came and a shockwave tore through the air violently shaking the earth, cracks began to spread beneath our feet.

We both let out a warcry and pushed harder than before until our auras and energy merged condensed and exploded in an explosion of fire, I was blown back by the explosion and Reinhardt on slid back. We then charged the other again, the old warrior tried to strike me with his sword but I teleported on the side escaping the blow, with his guard open I hit him with a energy infused punch, (which I decided to call a "Supercharge") Reinhardt actually took the blow and only stepped back a little a new dent appeared in his armour, the only indicator that this did anything was the small grunt of pain Reinhardt did.

Reinhardt flared his corrupted holy sword energy and destroyed my spirit shield completely shreading my body, it hurt hurt I've had worse so I persevere and push my regeneration further, I unleash my pure energy (his energy bending ability) and push the sword energy aside, a sword strike came my way and I bȧrėly ducked under it but this gave Reinhardt a chance to knee me in the ċhėst.

I flew backwards my ċhėst caved in on itself by the force of the blow, tumbling on the ground I got up and charged up an energy blast, Reinhardt seeing this appeared in front of me trying to strike me with his sword, I evaded it by teleporting behind him and shot the energy blast point blank. I briefly saw his energy soar blocking the blast but it didn't resist long enough and broke down.

When the dust settled down, I could see that the corruption had spread further and now completely controlled the Warrior. I look at him sadly and readied my sword once again.

"Rip apart, Chi no ken" My sword transformed into its red short katana and I now had my horns and red skin.

Reinhardt dashed towards me at incredible speed, he swung his sword and I did to, this time our auras clashed but did not merge and explode, this time they fought each other for dominance, I got pushed back and cut across the ċhėst, arms and legs multiple time either because of sword energy or simply by getting slashed by his sword, I managed to evade a small number of attack but I was getting dominated albeit I also did some damage tearing apart his ċhėstplate to reveal the now purple skin writhing with purple veins under said skin.

Not able to take this anymore I teleported away and shot multiple orbs at him, transforming the flat land into a huge crater, I could hear the beastly growls of the warrior through the explosions, I stopped and rushed at him with my sword ready to strike. Not sensing me coming he was cut across the back and let out a roar of pain mixed with anger, he tried to slash at me again but I evaded it and sent a lighting strike at him, temporarily paralyzing him a short amount of time which I used to charge a monstrous amount of energy of all kinds in my arm.

I hit him in the center of his ċhėst with my fist and obliterated his ċhėst, almost my entire arm passed through his body and he vomited up blood in large quantities, griting my teeth I tried to take out my arm but Reinhardt took a hold of my arm and punched my in the face, then he ripped my arm off and kicked me away, he then took the arm out of his ċhėst and threw it toward me like a spear. Fortunately I evaded it and regrew my arm with some difficulties, looks like my stamina is going down.

Reinhardt got up growling at me, he took his sword up with two hands, black purple ish blood dripped from his body, especially the fist sized hole in his ċhėst. Reinhardt infused some energy in his sword and slashed at me sending an energy sword towards me.

"HOLY SH-!" I screamed in surprise,

I couldn't escape in time and was almost cut in half, I fell to the ground weakly. I did forced some energy in my body to regenerate almost instantly at the cost of more stamina but I still got up. I looked around and saw the warrior looking at me, I also made eye contact with Soi Fon's concerned gaze, she looked scared and hurt at what is happening to me.

I sighed and berated myself for making her worried and hurting her, I looked back at the warrior and prepared to push myself to the limit.

We then repeated this process over and over again, I didn't get hurt as much this time however. I felt my power increase, my senses expanding and refining themselves, my energy purified itself a little more and my reiatsu reserve expanded as well. I was slowly reaching Captain level, this intoxicating feeling I got when fighting only got stronger the more I fought and the adrenaline kept pumping through me.

We jumped back and took a moment to breathe as we had been fighting for almost two or three hour without stopping, this fight was savage but beautiful, brutal but sophisticated, our techniques got better and better.

I soon realised that Reinhardt had become completely corrupted and his once holy sword was now fully corrupt to, Reinhardt helmet had fallen a long time ago and revealed his head, well skull, he had a translucent skull made of purple smoke with electricity arching around it, his skin was impenetrable and his body was now three times stronger than mine in every way possible but I pushed on with my senses and my body adapted.

I quickly caught up to around his level but I was exhausted and couldn't go further, meanwhile my enemy could only improve and get stronger.

I decided to use my strongest technique against him, I focused only on my sword cutting whatever it touched and nothing else.

I got into a quick sword draw position, crouched low and ready to strike. All my energy went inside my body and got concentrated inside my body so that I could be strong enough to do the technique and resistant enough to resist the kickback of this technique.

The sky became redder and the ground around me turned to dust or turned red and I charged at Reinhardt.

Meanwhile Reinhardt had been focusing all of his corrupted holy sword energy, and merged with the same purple energy, the sword began to mutated and so did he, they merged together with a mess of fleshy veins of corruption and metallic wires, sound of bones shifting until he roared and charged at me.

Purple mist was ejected outward covering the ground with it, now the earth was coated with purple mist and the sky had been colored red.

We came closer to each other making sonic booms from how fast we were, at this point small earthquakes could be felt for kilometres around us. The shockwaves were so strong it flattened all the tree in the within one hundred meters of us. Soi Fon had already protected herself with her reiatsu as much as she could but even then she was still blown back.

Finally we met in the middle ready to strike each other with one final attack.

"Kijin ōrukattā! / Abyssal Smite!" We said and then we striked.
