Chapter 102: Beg for Mercy
"Lieutenant Ōmaeda! What is that!?"
"Two powerful Reiatsu are clashing! One of them feels like 3rd Seat Masatsuki's—he's already reached the 3rd Rank of Reiatsu!"
"It's coming from the direction of the Nest of Maggots! Have they been attacked by the rebels too?"
Not far from the Nest of Maggots, in the 2nd Division barracks, a group of soldiers locked in battle with the rebels suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Lieutenant! The Nest of Maggots has fallen... Kenpachi Kiganjō led the attack! 9th Seat Ichimaru and the others are back!"
"3rd Seat asatsuki rescued them—he's holding off Kiganjō Kenpachi!"
"What!?"
Marenoshin Ōmaeda gasped in shock, cutting down a rebel before grabbing a soldier by the collar.
"Are you certain? Kiganjō Kenpachi has betrayed us?"
"That's what Suì-Fēng from the Captain's Personal Guard said herself! The Corps Commander has ordered us to finish this battle quickly and move out for reinforcements!"
"Damn it," Marenoshin growled, momentarily stunned. Gritting his teeth, he activated his Shikai, his long katana transforming into a massive spiked mace. "Damn you, Kiganjō!"
