Chapter 287: Resurrección - The Power to counter Bankai!!
Shinobu appeared near Kai, her breath misting in the rain.
Kai sighed. He pushed himself to his feet, eyed the transformed Insect Hashira, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The Book had been shuddering in these Characters' presence all this while.
If it weren't for his plans and the already decided Characters, whose tales he must devour, he would've considered devouring these Hashiras' tales. But the spots in the books were limited, and he must use it to its fullest extent.
It wasn't like there weren't other ways to bring them to his side, Kai knew.
The prospects of obtaining the Multiverse Id of this Random World did cheer him up, giving him hope to have access to these abnormal Characters in the future.
Nonetheless, these thoughts and reasonings couldn't prevent him from feeling useless.
"Don't feel down," Shinobu said, smiling at Kai. "One day you too can reach this level. I know you can, and I have all the faith in you. Even among Hashiras, your potential is top-notch."
Kai smiled ruefully at her, knowing well that she was indirectly pointing at his stubbornness to create his own Breathing Style.
"My plan did work, though," he told her meekly. "We killed an Upper Rank Demon before he could..."
Kai and Shinobu had already discussed the possibility of facing an Upper Rank Demon.
