Chapitre 16: Chapter #12 - Abilities
The grandeur of the mansion almost screamed that I am here. But neither Kizuna nor the other girls, except Harribel, cared. Everyone chose to disperse around the house according to their own division of labor. While Loly toured the house with Menoly after Kizuna's persuasion, Cyan Sung-Sun said that she needed to discuss something with her two hot-headed friends and joined them at the training ground.
When he was alone with Harribel, Harribel was honest:
"I'm not sure if it's right to build such a flashy place. We can draw everyone's attention to us."
Kizuna sent her a reassuring smile.
"It would be better for me, believe me. I'll get a chance to test my full potential."
Harribel sighed and said in a low voice, sounding a little depressed.
"I still have no idea how strong you are."
Kizuna heard this, of course, but instead of saying anything, he smiled.
"Harribel-sama, with your permission, I'd like to check something, could you leave me alone for a while?"
The thing he was going to check would take some time, so he needed to be really focused. That's why he wanted to be alone for a while. Harribel paused for a moment but then nodded in understanding, thinking that he had some things to think about.
"Well, I'll get used to... my new... self."
She took a few steps forward. As she was leaving, but then she stopped and turned to Kizuna and said in a very normal tone:
"And now that I'm under your command, you should call me by my name. Without -sama."
Kizuna nodded with a bright smile.
"All right!"
With that, Harribel took a few quick steps away. Although this was normal, her heart was pounding. Or rather, was it her heart that was beating? She wasn't even sure about that.
When Harribel left, Kizuna was finally alone. After taking a deep breath, he said those words.
"Open the Ability Tree."
<Useable War Points: 103.000>
A really long list appeared in front of him. But his eyes were first drawn to a few important abilities.
<[Passive] Breeding Instinct
<You have eyes that see, hands that feel and a penis that touches your target's sensitive spots. Listen to your instincts and every woman will submit to you in sex if you want her to.>
<Can be upgraded. Upgrade Cost: 5,000 War Points>
<*In its current state, it only applies to targets with the [Wolfication] effect.>
<[Active] Hohô>
<A fighting technique used among the Shinigami that increases the speed of movement.>
<Opening Cost: 1.000>
Of course, there were many other talents. He was going to unlock them too. But when he filtered out these abilities, which seemed irrelevant and relatively cheap compared to the other abilities in the ability tree, it seemed quite logical to buy them.
He was fast with Sonido. But if he took Hohô and improved it, the combination of the two could unlock a new ability. He had to admit he liked the thought of that. To be so fast that no one could see...
This would undoubtedly have made many of his jobs easier.
As for the Breeding Instinct... Not much needed to be said. He bought and upgraded them both without a slight hesitation.
He thought about maxing the Hohô, but decided to take his time. He continued reading the others. There were many techniques that could be unlocked. Examples for this are: Gran Rey Cero, Garganta, Kido and Hadô.
He believed that he could open so many things he saw here with enough time and effort on his own.
So instead of spending money, he preferred to turn them into earnings. Especially the Grand Rey Cero. By the time he became obsessed with his Cero, he was already at the stage where he could create several variants. Why couldn't he do something as simple as using his blood?
It's just that there wasn't much of a way for him to understand or learn arts like Kido and Hado. He couldn't kidnap a shinigami for the time being. Trying to learn from a man like Aizen was akin to courting death to him. Surely there could be cleaner ways.
So he decided to reserve half of his remaining points for Kidô and Hadô. Now all he had to do was make improvements.
<[Active] Inner Wolf Pack>
<Summon the Hollows within you and transform. The will of all the Hollows within you that have ever been hunted and consumed bows to you! The Hollows take the form of wolves and join the battle under your leadership. Each has one-eighth the power of the User's base reiatsu.
<Can be upgraded. Upgrade Cost: 50,000 War Points>
Naturally, the name change was the first thing you noticed. When this ability was first unlocked, it was simply called 'Pack'. He could naturally guess the reason for the name change.
The price was much, much higher than he had expected. If he developed it, WP would not be enough for the other things he wanted to develop. So he had to be careful. He decided to read another ability below.
<[Passive] Outer Wolf Pack>
<Convert the Hollows outside and add them to your own pack. The Hollows transformed by the [Wolfication] effect are bound to you. The stronger they become, the stronger you become, and the stronger you become, the stronger they become. Remember, there is now a bond between you. The Pack must stay together. The reiatsu gap between members cannot be closed.>
<Cannot be improved. In order to be developed, [Wolfication] must be developed.>
Uh... This was something he hadn't expected. So his gaze quickly shifted from the other abilities to the asking price of the [Wolfication] ability. The answer he got made his jaw drop.
"System, are you kidding me? What's 100,000 WP?"
He cursed out loud. To which the system replied calmly.
[User, believe me, it's cheap compared to the upgrade you'll get. And since this ability works regardless of power level as long as you have the Hollow, I think you should be satisfied].
Kizuna had nothing more to say in response. Just like that, Ressuraciton and the one or two abilities that came from it were also jaw-droppingly expensive. For this reason he could only sigh.
When he looked at his Hierro, it said he was already at the top. Sonido and Cero were no different. Taking all this into account and subtracting the salty prices, here's what he should buy.
He filled up the Hohô. He spent exactly ten thousand on it and unlocked an ability called Shunpo. Then he unlocked two useful techniques from Hadô and Kidô. Immediately after that, a new ability appeared as a combination of his many abilities.
Unfortunately, it was about five times his previous score before this expenditure. Also, the criteria it wanted for the opening was a bit... strange. So there was not much he could do. He chose to keep the rest of his points.
It made a lot of sense for him to save forty thousand points and develop the Inner Wolf Pack when he had ten thousand. Of course, he had put in a few simple techniques he had been thinking of taking. But fortunately, they didn't take too many points, so there was only a little bit of a fraction. That was all there was to it.
Just as he stood up with a sigh, it wasn't long before he saw someone coming towards him. From the nonchalant reiatsu he was emitting, he could easily tell that it wasn't for a good cause.
A smirk appeared on his face. It would be nice to give it a try after taking so much.
The person who came was very arrogant. Kizuna turned towards him without a care in the world and saw a black-haired Arrancar.
"What is your problem?"
Kizuna asked him a direct question. And this Arrancar with his nose in the air said to him:
"Be honored. Lord Barragan-sama wants to see you."
Kizuna looked at Arrancar out of the corner of his eye.
"If he wants to see me, tell him to come himself."
Arrancar looked surprised.
"What?"
Kizuna turned around and started walking towards the mansion. After all, many thoughts were going through his mind at the same time.
'System, how are we going to handle the interior decoration?'
[I can create an item market without my main function. But since it won't be very connected to my main function, I can only put decorative items].
'That would be great. Then the main room first...'
As he was thinking this, he heard Arrancar behind him and paused.
"You think you're a piece of shit just because you patronize a few whores! Pray that Barragan-sama wants you alive."
After saying this, Arrancar was about to turn and leave when his right arm suddenly fell to the ground. He was shocked to see the blood that followed.
What had just happened? Why was his arm on the ground? And why had it been cut into three pieces?
It was horrible that it had happened so suddenly. Even scarier was Kizuna, standing there with a normal smile on his face.
"Apologize. Otherwise it won't just be your arm that will be severed."
Arrancar wanted to be filled with rage, but the reiatsu of the monster in front of him was so intense that it was as if he was facing death itself!
Not since Barragan had the man he served experienced such a terrible feeling. He knelt unconscious, speechless.
Kizuna looked at him, a smile hiding his anger. One eye could be seen twitching.
"Why are you silent? Or are you deaf, I told you: Apologize."
As Kizuna said this, her hand moved invisibly and lifted Arrancar by the collar.
Seeing those black eyes, Arrancar felt fear in his bones. The cold gleam of death was reflected in his eyes. It was clear that one wrong move and he would die.
"I-I- I... apologize."
Kizuna nodded appreciatively before throwing Arrancar to the ground.
"Tell Barragan. Train his dogs more properly. And if he is coming, he should come himself."
With that, he turned around and started walking back to the mansion. Frankly, he was disappointed. He had expected the Arrancar before him to be emboldened and use Ressurection.
He could have at least tried kido or hado. Against something as weak as this, he had no inclination to try at all.
As he turned disappointedly back to the mansion, a small window appeared in front of him.
<You have won a battle involving women. Congratulations on 100 WP.>
It was clear why the name of the plugin was a battle in love. This lifted his spirits a little.
