Chapter 1294 Collapse part 2
Ichibei turned into a blur and reappeared in front of Kisuke while brandishing his glaive.
Sadly for him, his impatience made it very easy for Kisuke to respond. While blocking the glaive with his dagger, Kisuke lifted his foot that was on Ichibei's blindspot and kicked him on his flank, sending the whitened monk like a meteor to the depths of the Dimensional Gap.
Kisuke stared at the direction he disappeared for a few moments and concluded that he wouldn't be attacking any further until he understood the situation more, 'The problem is this...' Kisuke thought while glancing at his cane. He unsheathed her for a bit and saw that the former silvery blade was now pitch black, 'I can't talk to her at all. What happened?'
While repeatedly attempting to contact Benihime, Kisuke turned around to greet everyone, "Yo, Issei. I didn't think you'd come here."
"I also didn't think I'd be responding to a call like this for a second time. Couldn't you settle things peacefully?" Issei sighed in relief and began healing his wounds with TouKi.
Kisuke then glanced at the rest, stopping for a bit on Yamamoto, Aizen, and Yhwach before moving towards Serafall who was still dumbfoundedly staring at him. He smiled wryly at her and said, "You're a mess, but thank you for the hard work. It isn't settled yet but you can rest now. I'll see you later."
Kisuke then turned around and like a flash, he disappeared in the depths of the pseudo-Dimensional Gap.
"...W-wait!" Serafall tried calling out with her hoarse voice, but she couldn't even extend any of her remaining limbs due to the strain of aborting her self-destruction earlier. She doesn't know if it's the injury she received or the relief of knowing that Kisuke is still alive, her vision blurred and soon darkness has claimed her consciousness.
Since the restriction keeping her in place had disappeared, she started falling and Kunou hurriedly caught her. Upon closer inspection, she found out that Serafall's condition was not any better than those on their deathbed, "T-Tanis! Come over here, please!"
