Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 394 A Simple Spiritual Energy Explosion
A thunderous roar exploded at Luca's fingertips.

The next instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning, as thick as an arm, pierced directly through the enormous head of the Void creature before them.

The blood was completely evaporated by the high temperature accompanying the lightning just before it was about to splatter.

In a single exchange, the giant Hollow that had just slain several resurrected beings was killed by Luca.

Before its body could even fall, it transformed into countless points of spiritual light and vanished completely.

When the smoke and dust from the explosion before Hisagi Shuhei's eyes dissipated, all he saw was Luca standing in mid-air, slowly retracting his right hand.

At that moment, he stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.

Even before this live-fire exercise, he had already overestimated the strength of Luca, the new student.

But seeing the giant Hollow that had just nearly killed him so easily defeated with a single blow, Hisagi Shuhei couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

However, even more bewildered than Hisagi Shuhei were Renji and his two companions, who had just returned alone to rescue the other freshmen with a death wish while they were fleeing in panic.

At this moment, the three of them stopped in their tracks, raising their shallow weapons, unsure whether to retract them or not.

His originally resolute expression turned completely awkward.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Luca spoke calmly from the air.

The voice was still far away when it was first heard, but in the next moment, his figure had already appeared in front of the four people in an instant.

Hisagi Shuhei's feelings became even more complicated upon hearing this.

Despite being a supervisor and protector, he was at this moment...
He shook his head slightly, shaking off the complex emotions in his heart, and turned to look at his comrade's corpse on the ground. Hisagi Shuhei forcibly suppressed the surging grief and said in a heavy tone.

"Thank you."

"Now that the crisis has been resolved, I must immediately recall the other freshmen and return to the academy to report on this matter as soon as possible."

This live-fire exercise in the real world has gone awry. Although the first-year students did not suffer many casualties, the sixth-year students who were in charge of leading the team suffered heavy losses.

At present, Hisagi Shuhei doesn't even know how many of the students who were responsible for guarding the outer barrier are still alive.

As the leader of this operation, he must bring back as much information as possible about the lower-grade students and the incident to the academy.

However, before he could even open his mouth, Luca immediately raised his hand to interrupt his idea of ​​sending a signal to recall the escaped freshmen.

"Let's stop here. Going back won't be that easy."

As he spoke, Luca drew his Zanpakuto again, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

Meanwhile, the other four people, who were still somewhat confused, looked in the direction Luca was looking.

Suddenly, the air in the distance began to distort.

Immediately afterwards, from the shadows, a dozen or so creatures of different shapes, each no smaller than the giant Hollow from before, silently emerged from the shadows.

It was as if they wanted to surround everyone.

"That can't be!"

"Ju actually had companions."

Both Renji Abarai and Izuru Kira spoke in trembling, terrified voices.

Meanwhile, Hinamori Momo was in an even worse state, with cold sweat streaming down her forehead and barely able to hold onto her Asauchi sword.

At that moment, she even began to regret her earlier decision to return to the rescue.

'Luca was more than capable of saving Hisagi-senpai, why did I come back to die?'

Of the four, only Hisagi Shuhei could barely maintain his composure, but even his serious expression revealed a hint of despair.

However, in reality, if Luca hadn't been standing in front of them, they probably would have already collapsed to the ground, limbs limp, with no will to resist.

However, unlike the four people who were trapped in fear and despair.

At this moment, Luca, on whom they relied, looked slightly puzzled. 'Wait a minute? Aizen should have wanted us to feel despair so he could suddenly appear and deliver a divine intervention.'

'These four guys are practically terrified, but Aizen doesn't really think such a small fry like Karami can cause me any real trouble, does he?'

'Or is it that this time, Aizen never even considered making me his fanboy?'

Although they still had doubts in their hearts, the dozen or so giant Void creatures that had just appeared in the distance were already charging towards them.

Aizen and Gin Ichimaru did not appear at the end as Luca had remembered.

Faced with this situation, Luca certainly couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

'Since you're not coming out, don't blame me for wiping out all these small fry!'

"Import it, Core Key!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his Zanpakuto had already completed its Shikai.

However, Luca did not launch a direct attack on the distant virtual targets; instead, he inserted the core key upside down into the ground.

"You all stay here and don't move!"

As he spoke, he quickly drew a complete circle around Renji and the other three, holding his Zanpakuto, while silently chanting.

"Binding Spell Number Fifty-One: Mirror Gate!"

"Luca! Don't be impulsive!"

Seeing Luca's actions, Renji Abarai was about to step out of the newly set-up protective circle and rush towards Luca.

Before he could make a move, Kira Izuru grabbed his arm tightly.

"No! We can't cause trouble for Luca!"

The two behind him were still arguing and fighting, but Luca didn't look at their expressions anymore. He took a step and instantly appeared in the middle of the dozen or so giant Hollows.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Two explosions rang out in quick succession.

Even though Luca didn't make any move, the two Hollows behind him were instantly blasted to dust by an energy bursting from his body wherever he went.

"Hehe~ A simple spiritual energy infusion explosion~ both easy and efficient~"

"Hmm~ Forget it, why should I bother explaining to you monsters?"

Feeling the whistling sound of wind breaking behind him, Luca thrust out his sword with a backhand, hitting the giant Hollow who was trying to launch a sneak attack with a punch.

However, although the stab of the core key itself does not cause any damage, it does not mean that Luca cannot inflict damage on it.

If someone could slow down the camera right now, they would see it.

Just as the tip of the sword, like a dragonfly skimming the water, pierced into that enormous fist.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy instantly flowed along the core of the sword and into the giant phantom's arm.

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy began to expand rapidly from the inside.

On the already incredibly thick and long arms of the giant Void, twisted bulges began to appear everywhere, and even beneath the skin that was stretched thin, one could vaguely see the surging blue flames inside.

next moment.

"boom--"

The familiar explosion of spiritual energy rang out once again.

The azure blue flames of spiritual energy completely broke free of their restraints.

The giant Hollow that had intended to ambush Luca, along with its entire arm and half of its body, was reduced to ashes in the explosion.
