Chapter 1282 Prima part 3
Ichibei lost one of his arms, but that didn't actually hurt him aside from expending energy to regenerate it.
Ichibei metamorphosed and produced another set of arms from his back. The three pairs of arms then started doing various gestures and hand signs which produced more barriers that surrounded Kisuke, locking the space itself so that he wouldn't be able to tear it open.
Ichibei couldn't see what was happening inside the barriers he created as it just became multiple black spheres overlapping each other however, he's sure that Kisuke was doing nothing to escape from it since he created a ripple through his barriers whenever he attempted, 'He must be busy devouring that piece of arm. Since it's not directly connected to me, he'll only be able to lengthen his life for a few more minutes.'
Ichibei was also taking a look at what's currently happening in Soul Society and he figured out that they were able to make a successful connection to an unknown realm. As much as he wanted to interfere, there was nothing he could do right now aside from focusing on eliminating the monster, 'He really tied me up here... Is this part of his plans? No. That can't be. He's not the type of person to sacrifice himself for the greater good.'
Of course, he also tried viewing the future, but strangely enough, he couldn't see much and everything in the immediate future was blank. He would have panicked if not for the future he saw where he's standing in front of someone who's not of the Soul race, Shinigami, Fullbringer, Quincy, or Hollow, yet possesses a considerable amount of Spiritual Power in the form of 'Darkness cast by Light'.
Sadly, due to his incomplete existence,he couldn't see any further than that nor exactly know where in point of time that is.
As long as he could see that future, he's certain that he'll rise victorious in this fight.
The next instant, however, his train of thought was derailed when the eyes he had on his back saw the monster opening its mouth and about to bite down on Ichibei's neck once again, "!?"
