Help! I am bound to Aizen!-Chapter 207

Chapter 207

"Roar..."

High atop Las Noches, a pale skeleton sat on his throne, silently observing the plaza below.

A blonde, humanoid Hollow wielded a massive bone sword, battling more than a dozen Adjuchas.

Baraggan leaned to one side, propping his bony cheek with elongated fingers.

“So… Harribel really came.”

One of the Adjuchas grinned. “Lord Baraggan, please let me go. I’ll bring you victory!”

Baraggan merely sneered.

“A mere Adjuchas, hoping to defeat a Vasto Lorde?

The foolish courage of the ignorant.

Even if there were ten or twenty of you, you wouldn’t stand a chance against her.”

“Go. Fetch Szayelaporro.

Tell him he’s been living in Las Noches long enough—time to pay some rent.”

Though the Adjuchas looked unwilling, it bowed and left to carry out the order.

Baraggan turned his gaze below once more.

He recalled that Harribel had three Adjuchas following her.

Two of them were already captured and locked up.

What about the remaining one?

Did it see Harribel making this desperate move and run away in terror?

Or… is there another mission?

A low chuckle escaped Baraggan’s throat.

Not that it mattered.

Soon, Harribel would be his—she’d either pledge loyalty or die.

…

“Time’s running short.”

Aizen knelt before a door, quickly dismantling the Kido-based lock as he spoke.

“Even though Harribel is a Vasto Lorde, her combat skills are nothing special.

I’ve fought her before—she’s the type who has raw power but little finesse.

She might look intimidating, but in truth she’s only good at overpowering Adjuchas.”

“If another Vasto Lorde appears, she’ll lose in no time.”

Not far away, Kaelith leaned against a wall, looking half-asleep.

At the sight of Senzo Tsunayashiro’s Kido lock, Kaelith’s first instinct had been to slash it open with Rixiang Jimie.

Aizen immediately blasted him aside.

If you didn’t use the correct method, the caster would be alerted at once.

Then, if Senzo Tsunayashiro rushed back, they’d have no chance to escape.

Seeing he was of no help here, Kaelith wandered off to rest.

Hearing Aizen’s remark, Kaelith lifted his head.

“Another Vasto Lorde? There’s another one here in Las Noches?”

Aizen shot him a look. “Your new subordinate.”

“My subordinate?”

Kaelith frowned in thought.

A few seconds later, realization dawned.

“Ah—Szayelaporro.”

In the anime, Szayelaporro had already been weakened to an ordinary Adjuchas level.

So whenever anyone mentioned a Vasto Lorde, Kaelith subconsciously overlooked him.

But now, Szayelaporro was indeed a bona fide Vasto Lorde.

“Heave-ho!”

Kaelith planted a hand on the ground and sprang from sitting to standing in one fluid motion.

“Don’t worry. I’ll find that pink-haired guy and have a talk.”

Aizen lifted a brow. “You know where he is?”

“Of course.” Kaelith gave a smug tilt of his head. “I left a tracking Kido on him. Let me see… Found him. I’ll be right back!”

In a flash, he vanished.

Watching him leave, Aizen raised an eyebrow.

A tracking Kido…

Another unknown technique. Aizen had often wondered how Kaelith located him so easily in the past.

Now he knew.

Once we’re back in the Soul Society, I’ll have to settle this properly.

Aizen mentally added another entry to his personal ledger of Kaelith’s antics.

…

By the time Kaelith returned, Aizen had already opened the lock.

Seeing Kaelith, Aizen spoke decisively:

“Check for any other traps in the room.”

“Got it.”

Kaelith leapt inside without complaint, releasing his Domain.

A few seconds later, he pointed at one wall. “Right here!”

“Well done.”

Aizen’s eyes lit up.

Before Kaelith got back, Aizen had already searched the entire room, finding no likely hiding place for the Enra Kyōten.

He was starting to suspect Senzo Tsunayashiro had taken it away.

Now, with Kaelith’s discovery, he realized that wall was indeed suspicious.

Pressing a hand against it, Aizen cycled through precise Reiatsu adjustments until he smiled.

Yes, something was there.

Using expert Reiatsu control, he gradually forced his way in.

Before long, waves rippled across the surface, revealing a hidden compartment.

Inside was an ornate sword rack, holding a cloth-wrapped blade.

Even without unwrapping it, they knew it must be the Enra Kyōten.

“I never expected such a powerful relic to fall into our hands so easily.”

Aizen reached in and retrieved the blade, clearly satisfied.

He glanced at Kaelith—who was staring eagerly—and smirked.

Under Kaelith’s excited gaze, Aizen tossed him the Enra Kyōten.

“Hold onto it until we return to the Soul Society.

But until I’m sure of its nature, don’t even think about using it.”

Kaelith immediately agreed.

He caught the blade and unwrapped it slightly, revealing part of the cold steel.

Seeing its eerie gleam, he let out an appreciative sound.

“As expected of the Tsunayashiro family’s treasure. The craftsmanship alone is stunning.”

“You understand craftsmanship?”

Aizen raised a brow.

“Not at all—I just say that to sound impressive.”

“…”

Aizen could almost feel his blood pressure rising.

Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself.

“Our main objective is complete. Next we—”

“Get down!”

Before Aizen could finish, Kaelith’s expression shifted in a flash. He sprang forward, pinning Aizen to the floor.

A moment later, a black-and-red Cero tore through the nearby wall and blasted into the room.

A brilliant flash and thundering explosion rocked the spot where they’d just been standing.

Because the Cero was fired in a wide arc, it swept through quickly and was gone.

Above them, the ceiling was neatly shorn off, revealing the dark night sky.

On a nearby high platform, Senzo Tsunayashiro looked furious.

That old skeleton Baraggan—for him to launch such a destructive strike that tore into the tower… it was blatant provocation.

He was about to erupt in anger when he froze.

In his line of sight, two cloaked figures were dashing out of his chamber.

Shocked, Senzo Tsunayashiro turned to look at the wall where he kept his hidden items.

In the next instant, his face went pale like a ghost!
