This was not a Greater Void. It was just a Void transformed from an ordinary soul. It had no intelligence, only the instinct to kill.
Natsuhiko saw Ryoji Sanada being attacked. He was only stunned for a moment before he pulled out his Zanpakuto and charged.
Seeing someone approaching, Void swung his arm and threw Ryoji Sanada to the side. He smashed into the wall and slowly slid down.
Then he opened his mouth and roared as he charged at Natsuhiko.
Whoosh.
When Natsuhiko arrived in front of Void, his body suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside Void. He pulled out his sword and stabbed.
But the moment he appeared, Void's tail swept over.
Natsuhiko could hurt Void, but he would definitely be hit by Void's attack. Exchanging injury for injury was not worth the loss.
Hence, Xia Yan tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and swiftly retreated, dodging the attack.
Void's tail missed. He turned around and charged at Natsuhiko again.
Natsuhiko did not immediately charge forward. Instead, he dodged and avoided the attack.
Although it was his first time facing Void, Natsuhiko remained extremely calm as he recalled Void's various introductions.
Cruel, strong, fast reaction, mainly using physical attacks.
Knowledge about Voids appeared in Natsuhiko's mind. The moment Void charged at him, his left hand swiped through the air. His fingers shone with yellow light. A rope flew out from his fingers and wrapped around Void's forelimbs.
Fourth of the Binding Path, Gray Rope.
Bang.
Hollow's front limbs were locked, and his charging posture was abruptly halted as he fell heavily to the ground.
Void struggled violently. The gray rope instantly broke. Void struggled to get up. But this short moment of hesitation gave Natsuhiko time. He jumped high and appeared behind Void. He slashed at Void's tail.
Instead of injuring ten fingers, it was better to cut off one finger. He could not kill Void with this attack. It was better to reduce Void's attack power first.
Puff.
Natsuhiko swung its thick tail with all his strength. It let out a painful roar and turned around to swipe at Natsuhiko with its claws.
However, Natsuhiko tapped the ground with the tip of his foot again and leaped high into the air. While avoiding the claws, he arrived above the void.
The tip of the Zanpakuto was pointed downwards.
Pu.
Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto pierced into Hollow's head, but it only went in an inch. Unlike the muscular tail, Hollow's head was covered in thick armor.
Since that was the case, he would chop Hollow's head off.
Natsuhiko made up his mind. At this moment, Hollow suddenly fell to one side. Seeing this, Natsuhiko stepped on Hollow's head and leaped high into the air.
However, at the same time, it stretched out its claws and slapped Natsuhiko's abdomen.
Damn it.
Natsuhiko was in the air and could not dodge. He could only extend his left arm.
Bang.
Natsuhiko was hit by Hollow and flew to the side. However, after a somersault in the air, he slowly landed. Apart from a slight pain in his arm, he did not suffer any major injuries.
This was because Natsuhiko had used Binding Dao's Eight Rebukes in the air.
It formed a Spirit Shield on the outside of his arm to block the enemy's attack.
Although Natsuhiko had given up on chanting, he had no problem dealing with ordinary Hollow's attacks.
After Natsuhiko landed, Hollow pounced at Natsuhiko. Without its tail to balance it, its body swayed left and right.
Natsuhiko raised his hand and pressed lightly on the ground. The next moment, red smoke enveloped Natsuhiko.
Hollow rushed into the smoke and could not see the surroundings, nor could it sense Natsuhiko's existence.
However, at this moment, a low chant came from afar. "Lord Descender, mask of flesh and blood, Wanxiang, spread your wings …"
When Hollow heard the voice, it rushed towards the source. Just as it arrived in front of Natsuhiko, a huge red fireball shot towards Hollow.
Path of Destruction 31.
Bang.
The fireball hit Hollow's head. Flames shot everywhere. When the flames dissipated, more than half of Hollow's head was destroyed.
"Roar."
Hollow let out a painful roar, but it was not dead yet.
At this moment, Natsuhiko's blade flashed. Hollow's head flew up and smashed heavily on the ground.
Hollow's body fell to the ground. It couldn't be more dead.
At this moment, Hollow's figure slowly dissipated. Hollow killed by Zanpakuto would have its sins removed. Its soul would enter Soul Society and participate in the cycle again.
Seeing Hollow die, Natsuhiko sat on the ground with a plop. However, he immediately thought of something and ran towards Ryoji Sanada.
At this time, the sixth year students were attracted by the strange phenomenon and rushed to the side. Qing Yan shouted, "What happened?"
Natsuhiko did not answer. Green Rock ran to Natsuhiko's side and reached out to grab his shoulder. He pulled his body over and found that his eyes were filled with tears. He cried and said to Green Rock, "Natsuhiko was attacked by Hollow. He's dead."
Green Rock's body trembled. He jumped over Natsuhiko and saw Ryoji Sanada lying on the ground. There was a large hole in his chest. He was no longer breathing.
Green Rock opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
However, Bai Lu found a problem. He asked, "Where's Hollow? He attacked Ryoji Sanada. Where is he now?"
"Yes, where's Hollow?
Let's go kill him. "Green Rock also asked anxiously.
Natsuhiko cried and said, "I've already killed him."
"Killed?"
Green Rock was slightly stunned. He asked, "You said you killed him?"
Natsuhiko nodded. Green Rock was shocked. He did not expect a fourth grade student to be able to kill a Hollow. One had to be at least a fifth grade to have an internship to fight a Hollow.
Green Rock nodded and patted Natsuhiko's shoulder. He said, "Alright, you've killed him and avenged Ryoji Sanada. Don't be sad. What we need to do now is to send him back to Soul Society and let him be buried there. He'll become a part of Soul Society."
Natsuhiko cried and nodded. He wanted to carry Ryoji Sanada's body, but Green Rock took it and put it on his shoulder.
"Get up. What's wrong with lying on the ground?" Bai Lu angrily scolded Nozawa Keizo who was lying on the ground in fear.
Natsuhiko followed Green Rock to the Realm Crossing Gate. Green Rock said to Bai Lu and Yi Dong, "The internship is over. Our mission has failed. Gather the students and let's go back."
After getting the answer, he looked at Natsuhiko and said, "Come back with me. Report to Teacher."
Natsuhiko nodded and followed Green Rock into the Realm Crossing Gate. They returned to Soul Society through the Realm Crossing Gate and found Teacher.
Natsuhiko reported the situation and waited for the other students to come back. They held a funeral for Ryoji Sanada before returning to the dormitory.
Natsuhiko's eyes were red. He was very sad.
Although Ryoji Sanada was not as close to him as Renji Asanai and the others, he was still one of the few good friends he had.
Natsuhiko could remember that he talked to him when he entered the fourth grade. He also remembered that he borrowed his notes and asked him for advice on Ghost Road.
Natsuhiko thought of him as a friend, but his friend died in front of him.
Natsuhiko blamed himself. If he had found out in advance, this would not have happened.
Renji Asanai patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you're sad, cry it out."
Renji Asanai also participated in Ryoji Sanada's funeral. He was by Natsuhiko's side the whole time, so he naturally knew what had happened.
When Xia Yan heard this, he could no longer hold it in and burst into tears.
