Chapter 291: The Way Back
"Is that... Zabimaru?"
Renji rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing wrong.
The Zanpakuto that Mazuru was using at that moment was indeed identical to his Zabimaru.
Then, he heard Rukia's exclamation.
"Ichigo!"
Renji came back to his senses immediately, and didn't think about this problem anymore. Compared to the "Zabimaru" in Mazuru's hand or something, Ichigo, their partner, was more important.
Previously, they came to the tower where Orhime was imprisoned under Grimmjow's guidance, but they met Ulquiorra, the Quinto (5th) Espada, who was guarding there, and then they immediately started fighting against him, trying to defeat him as soon as possible and rescue Orihime.
But, it turned out that Ulquiorra was stronger than they expected.
Even though he was only the Quinto (5th) Espada, that is, one rank higher than Grimmjow, but his strength was not in the same dimension as him at all.
Because Ichigo had a big battle against Grimmjow earlier and even used hollowfication, his physical strength had not yet fully recovered, so this time it was Rukia, Renji, Uryu and Sado who volunteered to face Ulquiorra, and left Hanataro to take care of Ichigo.
However, their righteous four-on-one assault was easily thwarted by Ulquiorra.
