NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Battle? Nope, It's a Special Training
'So you chose to give up your offensive and pinned your hopes on Zaraki?'
'Do you value him that much?'
Mazuru understood Unohana's intention and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the beginning, he helped Zaraki heal all of his wounds, and even helped the other party regain his physical strength, because he had learned from Unohana that she was very much optimistic about Zaraki's true power.
So he wanted to see how far Zaraki could go under pressure and how many surprises he could give him.
In the end, he didn't expect that while he just wanted Zaraki to give him some surprises, Unohana, on the other hand, pinned all her hopes on Zaraki.
'Alright, then I am also game! This battle from now, is actually not to defeat you, but to make you feel more pressure. It is essentially a special training for you...'
'Since Zaraki is so favored by you, to the point that you gave up on me (gave up on attacking) and started using Kaidō to heal his wounds, then I can't help but give a hand to help your intentions!'
Mazuru's thoughts flickered, and he immediately decided his next course of action.
Kaidō, the Kidō specially born for healing, he had seen many times being used by Unohana, and this ability was not weak, but there were also some flaws, such as some injuries that hurt the source of the soul, even Kaidō could not heal that.
Previously, Zaraki was attacked using Gabriel by Szayelaporro, and Szayelaporro laid eggs inside Zaraki's body and devoured Zaraki's spiritual power.
Although Zaraki's reiatsu was too strong, causing Szayelaporro's rebirth through Gabriel ending in failure, but it was a parasitic method after all.
For this reason, Zaraki was wounded at his soul's origin.
This was also when Mazuru came in the picture. Maki who was also injured had already been healed by Unohana, but Zaraki still looked seriously injured. So just after Mazuru released his Bankai, he first healed Zaraki and that too to a speed visible to naked eye.
This actually indirectly showed that the healing ability of Mazuru's Bankai was actually stronger than that of Kaidō.
However, neither Byakuya nor Unohana put any thoughts on it. They subconsciously ignored the fact that Mazuru could heal Zaraki again.
He healed Zaraki before, which could be understood as wanting to have some fun and to witness the two generations of Kenpachi joining against him at the same time, as he said before.
Regarding the matter of healing, right now, no matter how unwise he was, it was impossible for him to heal the enemy.
After seeing Zaraki's injury being healed by Unohana, Mazuru even spoke up, mocking Unohana, "You who are the best at fighting gave up attacking as well as your position as the main attacker to Zaraki, a reckless guy. I want to see how many times you can heal him."
While speaking, the sword in Mazuru's hand changed directions continuosuly, and slashed several times on Zaraki's body.
Scarlet blood splattered, even though the pain made Zaraki grit his teeth, he still continued laughing crazily, "It's really amazing!"
For him, it seemed that there was really no fear of death.
While getting excited at Mazuru's strength, on the other hand, he actively organized an attack.
There was no skill at all, it was simply swinging the sword.
Even if he was stabbed or slashed several times by Mazuru in the process, it didn't matter, as long as he could chop Mazuru once, it would be considered a success in his book.
This kind of crazy behavior had added a lot of pressure to Unohana. She needed to mobilize more reiatsu to cast Kaidō to heal Zaraki, but neither she nor Zaraki seemed to care about it at this point.
Zaraki was immersed in the pleasure of fighting, and Unohana was doing her best to help Zaraki enjoy his fight and drown in pleasure.
Back then, Zaraki did not enjoy the pleasure of fighting when faced against her, and then chose to seal himself, which made Unohana feel guilty and unworthy all this time.
Now, if he could enjoy the joy of fighting against Mazuru, she had to help Zaraki enjoy it as much as he could no matter what.
"I am feeling happy! Really happy!"
In just a short moment, Zaraki didn't know how many times he was hit, and at the same time he didn't know how much force he exerted himself but he knew what he was experiencing was… It was happiness.
The feeling of being torn apart and being healed again under Kaidō was not a good feeling, but compared to being able to fight against a formidable opponent like Mazuru, what were this mere senses of discomfort?
He jumped up high, ignoring Mazuru's blade piercing through his body, and forced himself to swing the sword in his hand.
A powerful sword pressure swept across, even just looking at it from a distance, the spectators could feel the powerful force in it.
Facing this terrifying sword pressure, Mazuru also had no choice but to pull out the blade that was embedded in Zaraki's body, and retreated temporarily.
*Boom*
Mazuru moved his body sideways, and the sword pressure fell on the ground. The dilapidated hall of Las Noches shook for a while, and a pillar that had already become precarious due to the previous battle immediately couldn't be maintained any longer, and immediately collapsed.
The huge sound reverberated, and smoke and dust billowed up.
Mazuru's figure flickered, Zaraki stomped on the ground, his tall and burly figure leaped high, his back was shrouded in the Kaidō light released by Unohana, his wounds were slowly healing, while he sent another slash towards Mazuru.
Before Unohana helped him heal, he was a trade-in game, either you die or I die.
After Unohana started helping him to heal, he continued to play the same way, no, he was even more extreme.
Such a desperate style of fighting.
It made the people watching the battle stunned.
"This madman!"
Sojiro couldn't help but comment on Zaraki's crazy battle hunger.
Mazuru literally had countless lives, but Zaraki had only one life.
Even if he succeeded with this method in hurting Mazuru, and even killed Mazuru, so what?
In this Bankai space of his, he could still be reborn many times!
"Is this the way of the contemporary Kenpachi?" Maki exclaimed, and said to himself, "Yes, this is indeed the way of fighting of someone like the Kenpachi!"
"As expected of the man who defeated Kenpachi Kiganjo."
Maki himself doesn't know when he had been impressed by Zaraki.
"In such a battle, my role has become negligible."
Byakuya watched the battle and couldn't help but frown.
Senbonzakura's speed could no longer catch up with Mazuru.
In other words, after Zaraki started using this injury-for-life style of play, if he manipulated Senbonzakura to assist Zaraki, it might cause accidental injury Zaraki instead.
After all, Senbonzakura's blades' flying speed couldn't keep up with the movement trajectories when the two were fighting.
Unohana, on the other hand, was able to maintain Kaidō in such a battle, precisely landing it on Zaraki to heal his wounds, once again let Byakuya understand the strength of a veteran captain.
