The three shinigamis were giving off incredible pressure. Their spiritual energy was climbing nonstop.

Leo watched the changes happening to his opponents calmly. He didn't rush out to attack.

As a person with the inborn ability to see souls, Leo was very interested in knowing how a pure shinigami's would change.

And he was surprised to find that there was seed of energy attacked to these shinigamis souls. It contained a peculiar power, it wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, but... it was very mysterious.

Through this seed of energy a new power, one belonging to a hollow emerged in their souls. It mixed with the pure soul of a shinigami, changing the structure and nature of their soul.

Is the Hogyoku that powerful? Can it really alter something as obscure as a soul.

Leo was perplexed. Even in his original world, when a human became a demon, only the colour surrounding their soul would change. At it's core their soul still remained the same.

Boom!

As he was in thought an explosion took place. Spiritual energy blasted out in every direction. The strong wind created by the blast blew at Leo's face.

Throwing what he was thinking to the back of his mind Leo turned his focus on his opponents.

The three shinigamis he faced went through a complete transformation.

The old man named Yoshi had snow white bone carcass on different parts of his body. His palms doubled in size, almost resembling a fan.

The big man, Meiji grew in size, he resembled a small hill as he stood there. His entire body was covered in thick bone carcass and his right arm had turned into a huge bone hammer.

The last shinigami, Rikou. He looked as skinny as before, but there was now a deathly greyish mist swirling around him. A sharp tail emerged from his spine with bone spikes extending all the way to it's tip.

"Die!"

Yoshi took the initiative to attack. His figure flickered and disappeared. When he re-emerged he was already beside Leo.

Boom!

Leo slashed in response.

A fierce explosion rang out. A cloud of icy mist covered rose to the sky.

Leo shot out of the icy mist. Just as he emerged the burly man, Meiji flickered next to him. His huge body didn't show the slightest sluggishness as he moved.
