Survive the Woods [Open]

Oh my, oh my, it seems that he was greatly underestimated as a human, not because of his ability, that his 'pride' was underestimated. It was true that he would take on attacks wihout a second thought but it doesn't mean that these actions are an absolute to do as well, rather than to 'take it', he has his own way of dealing with attacks that has the capability to cut through barriers, right through solid objects and so, but here comes a theory that come into his mind before Eien made her move of using sonido and making an attempt to pierce his shoulder. It is true that it can cut through protective barriers like the electromagnetic field that he made, or solid objects that can ever stop it when it focuses on one target, but the possibility is not a complete 0%. No luck was involved in this, and it all depends in every step, every breath and every thought he can process in his head, writing an equation of this ability in his mind and calculating the approaching blade.

However, since it is a 'barrier breaker' ability, what happens if it is a natural influence that is neither a defense nor a solid object just like his limbs, that was a theory he came up with to counter her barrier breaking ability. Indeed that it is near-impossible for something is powerful as this to cut down barriers, it doesn't mean that it is a zero percent chance to do so. In the center of his body, what he did was to compress the energy in the center, forcing it to be pushed down smaller and smaller, as the natural energy was unable to contain the lack of space to compress any furthermore, when using the physics of his own, it would make the compressed natural energy to 'explode' but not into flames, but a form of vibration in its state of waves, not particles. Wihout any solid matter for it to cut through it as a solid object, then that would be omitted for barrier breaker's capability as the first target since the vibration he creates is going to be in a form of sonic waves, and the second capability that the barrier breaker's ability that is omitted by the fact that the vibration is not a 'protective barrier', with no spiritual energy or is it ever considered as an 'outside influence', more of an 'inner influence' since the explosive force of the vibration is more an 'explosive force' than an influence itself, and since there is no 'energy' inside of these expanding waves of vibration, it became clear that the barrier breaker ability has no other way to get through the so-called 'defense' he put up, that it erases categories that her barrier breaking ability can cut through in terms of defense which boosts one's defensive capabilities.

When the tip of her blade was about to pierce his shoulder, it stopped when it got an inch to him, even with her barrier breaking ability activated against him, it seems as if he has a 'sturdy' defense around him, but in a fact of defying physics and creating his own law that it isn't by erasing any possibilities and categories that the ability itself assumes so, which means her barrier breaker ability is not a 100% ability that can cut through ALL types of defenses, especially the ones that are artificially made defenses that the Nightmare created through his own rules and laws, hence why he stated to himself that there was no more an underestimation around him, no more cockiness, just purely, the exact same force to defeat his enemies and using proper calculation, nothing else than those two facts in hauling the corpses. Though, she may be wondering why the 'defense' or if she call it a 'barrier', it will be to Eien's understanding, but in order to keep his 'barrier' up, he has to erase the categories that the ability may think it is a barrier, a solid object, anything that it can cut through when someone puts up a defensive barrier against her slashes, but since he altered the 'rules' of the vibration via using the vibrating waves by shaking the air particles around it, it produces sound by the particles in an atomic level, and these millions of collisions between these particles made it vibrate so powerful that these particles would explode in an explosive energy that unleashes a waves of vibrations, with particles scattering all of it, it is not an 'outside influence' or 'outside force', but rather, to disobey what physics can do, and that is how he attempted to see if this method works or not.

However, there was no time for Eien to retreat and give a rest, before she could execute her attack in kneeing him right against his guts, she would realise that wihout the barrier breaker that is used for her physical attacks, and if she cannot match her impact force against his electromagnetic field, not to mention trying to send an individual like him into the air with a force to keep him up to 3 feet tall was nothing but an attempt to try to be a tough girl and bypass his defenses. The moment her knee crashed right into his electromagnetic field, there was a visible flash throughout the entire field itself, before exploding out with a clean cut into removing her leg only by redirecting the force right back at her and re-adjust the kinetic energy that is sent back to Eien, enough to clean slice right through her leg wihout affecting her entire physical structure for her to collapse into. With her regenerative ability seen by his eyes, his photographic memory simply collect these datas in order to deal with blasting away her body into the world of pain wihout a word out of his lips.


"Fly."

His words was straightfoward and cold, as it seems that he was unexpectedly angry, it was time to put an end to everything and make sure that Eien can never stand again when she witness what she is about step into, what he called, the realm of a monster, the embodiment of darkness that will unleash upon the battlefield. His right fist gripping even tighter, to a point where blood began to drop from the palm of his hand, and in a sudden? The level of pressure simply spiked, as if it seemed the pressure around him dramatically increased to a level where the trees would crumble into dusts, from pebbles to large-sized boulders that is about the size of an average male would rise above the earth beneath them, and any nearby liquid would simply evaporate, not in the case of Eien where she would suffer a case of asphyxiation because the imbalance between the presence of liquid to her physical structure and the pressure around it, and even if she was able to adjust to it, it would only increase further and furthermore, until it stops to a level where his body begin to split open countless amount of wounds, and this was exactly 50% of his strength, including the physical boost given from the International Electronic Brace Network, in this level of course, even at 50%, it was absolutely terrifying even from a distance, in case where Katsuo ran from the battlefield, he would feel an absurbly amount of fear striking his soul even if he placed up so much determination in his soul, if it seems that there is an outside force that was terrifying enough to strike fear even to the bravest warriors that is available out there, this was one of the rarest moments that Sou went through this point, since it was appropriate enough to say that Eien should be wiped out of existence, so it shall be.

Hopefully striking her with his right fist with a terrifying force, it held an enough power that turn half of the entire Karakura Forest into nothing but collapsing trees and a wasteland, with some of the earth would burst upwards and form a wall as tall as 5 feet tall, depending on the circumstances, Sou attempted to minimize the damage against his mortal body by utilising the air pressure around him, hopefully during the expansion of the energy that exploded upon his very knuckles of his fist against Eien, it would form a protective wall of air across his body using the terms of 'particle attraction', where he produces charges across his body using friction, charged particles of the air would gather against skin and form a wall of protective layer using charged particles, protecting him from taking a full damage from the explosive force incoming from his bare fist, having the power to remove half of the entire portion of the forest, it was a spectacular sight to see how much power his strength can unleash, that if Eien would attempt to use her sword to block it, she could realise the entire structure of the sword would break apart, that the force of his fist contains more than being able to overpower a Cero Oscuras alone, that such force comes in a cost to his entire body being inflicted by countless amount of damage and wounds, ranging from scratches to wounds that can cover his entire back with a cross shape, if in the case of the arrancar using the sword that she called it 'tough', it would be the biggest mistake done in every possible decisions she can take.

The entire structure of the sword would explode from the 'inside', since Sou hit the sword once and tried snapping it into half externally, it doesn't seem to flinch the structure of the sword at all, and what comes into a mind with a theory that it will be done from the inside and disrupting the solid matter that holds the sword together into a solid shape. The moment his fist impacts right against the likes of the sword, the first process he is going through was to apply a certain frequency that allows the atoms of the sword to open a gap between each solid atoms wihout affecting its physical form and being able to maintain its structure as a sword, but what now comes into the play was the 'core' of the sword, since Eien was displayed as the wielder of the very sword itself and the blade built under the manifestation of many souls, it doesn't mean that it does not have any core that supplies power to the very blade, not to mention if it doesn't have a core that supplies the entirety of her abilities like barrier breaker, he doubted that she could use abilities with the sword at all, in very similiar cases with Zanpakutō spirits where if shinigamis do not communicate with his or her Zanpakutō spirit and learn its name, there is no chance that they can use abilities wihout getting the energy coming from the 'core' of their very sword.

By injecting an instant electrical energy, it would only flash within a second before the source of energy that the electricity that was produced would all but dissapear out of sight at first, and that was done to produce negative attractions against each and every atom has in the very sword, causing a repelling effect just like a magnet with the same charge to repel each other, and that was used in order to completely disarray the entire structure of the sword, and since it is under its temporary atomic state since if he theorizes this, Eien may be able to reconstruct the sword again even if he disrupted the entire arrangements of the sword in order to completely destroy its physical shape, but that wasn't it. When the Nightmare disarranged the very sword, his fist would most likely smash right against the likes of Eien's face, though with taken precaution, his fist would not puncture right through her face, instead, stopping at the very single moment when his fist makes a direct contact with the surface of her skin, where because of the sudden stop in momentum and velocity, the pressure and the vibrating force of his fist would shoot off against Eien, using the same method of how he made her feel the exact feeling where as if someone hit her directly wihout affecting the liquid of her body, this time, imagine from hundreds to thousands and to million times much more of that very force, where it held so much force that half of the entire forest would blast to dusts, in Eien's cases, even with her liquified body, the damage to her energy links and physical structure would feel so much pain that no matter how much one is driven from the pleasure of pain, because of the damage inflicted to the structure of her body, it is most likely that she could not be able to move anymore with each and every part of her body being blasted by the force of his very strength.

He was indeed not as happy as one thinks, that the thought of the Nightmare being such a cold-blooded being, he would've cared less afterall. The root of these, was the past he went through. He despised himself, so much where he would rather become a villain than being a hero, that the reason why he turned into a monster himself was because of his inability to protect with his pair of bloodied hands, the one that killed many lives, his past was absolutely a tragic one and indeed rather dramatic in its own way, but in all ends, this was the path he chose himself, and because of his monstrous nature, people came into the thought of despising himself but who cares, because he is the Nightmare, and if it is about being the bad guy, then he will be one. Screeching through the entire forest with a scream at the top of his lungs, he blasted foward from his bare feet using his own strength, with his body that is bleeding rather intensively, he doubted that he could last much longer from here on, that there is only an hour or two before his device runs out of battery, and beforehand, he will catch up against Katsuo, and make sure to give him the pain when he was rejected by the society, his heart that had a feeling as if it was ripped out from his chest with a single hand, the absolute pain and the darkness that surrounds him, and with that, he will crush his hopes with so much agony that even for Katsuo, he needs more than just determination to get through the fear that surges through his soul.

Tracking down Katsuo's location by the runes that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, it was interesting how his abilities awakened from the sight of despair of the people around him, and his inability to become stronger, and those needs gave him the power to help, however, one really lacks inside of this young man was the ability to confront his enemies, no matter how weak they are, how powerless they are, if they turn their back and run, that is the weakness that he would exploit to every eye of the world, the fear that overcomes the determination, the darkness that overwhelms his very structure and break him from the inside.


A rough landing before the eyes of the human and an injured female, the force of the landing caused an upward explosion, since he doesn't have the ability to fly nor to land smoothly, all he could was to utilise his strength and make it rough. Despite for someone like Katsuo to be quite new to his abilities, even using it has an interval or known as delay between using his ability to an actual manifestation of an energy or a manipulation of sorts, and with that theory settles, he would test it out on his newfound power to fight. Since the girl is in his arms, it would be hard to make a decision between dropping her or making use of his runes, that is something which the young man does not understand of yet, but rather to care, he approached the young human at a neck-breaking speed, that it take less than a second before his fist was already approaching to Katsuo's face and that? If any attempts to lighten the damage or to even redirect it right back at him, he made himself a rather useful 'going around' type of attack when he fought an opponent who specializes in these areas, where the moment of direct impact, when the damage is lighten, depending how he casts them away, he plants down an 'extra force' by blasting vibration across the air and landing an extra hit right against the very body of the young human, two in one, that the force of his punch would not be heavy nor light, that it was enough to squeeze his face deeper into his skull and force his nose to break, and if that made him drop the girl, Sou makes an attempt to stop against the earth beneath them, before creating a blast of wind that would blast the girl upwards into the air.

However, that is not the intent to kill. With given coordinates to the hospital, Sou was able to produce a wind strong enough to blast the female right back into the hospital of where he is current living in, accurately landing into one of the patient's rooms in her current injured state. With everything settled, his hands slid into his pocket, wihout the presence of the crutch anymore, which he threw it away since it would only be of a hindrance to his fight if it is used. His eyes staring cold at the likes of Katsuo, before words escaped from his lips in hopes for this man to start his attack first, to see how his abilities work so that he can utilise it in the future, that if it became stronger, all he needs was to re-work the equation and pinpoint its original, making the task much easier if they were to fought again, using the same power but much stronger.

"Look at your pathetic ass, shaking your ass right at me when you ran off with that girl, and thinking that you can stand up against the Nightmare, you are making the biggest mistake in this land. I don't care if you think i am a monster, a villain, a bad guy or some power hungry bastard who doesn't care about anyone but himself, the only thing that you have mistaken is how the world works around you. What do you understand about life? Do you have ever worn my shoes and see the cruelty of the society? No. You know nothing about true pain, where people reject you because you are 'different' than them, where they avoid you because you have strength that is not human-like, this is why i came into a conclusion of becoming a villain, that even if i am despised by the world, i will have no regrets, because there is no room.. for a monster like me who walked down into the blood-stainted path where i can only kill and cannot protect."

"If you think i am in the wrong, feel free to step into the realm of a monster and use your newfound power. I won't hold back on you, kid."

With a grin across his face, things are seemingly more interesting than usual, that he went through a hell of speech to tell him how cruel reality is, that his life was nothing more than a pain where he could not protect because of his strength, hated and despised by many, he would live by himself under the name of a villain. This was something that everyone will never understand the position he stands, and having everyone to view him as a monster, he stopped caring anymore, and wait how Katsuo acts. If he tries talking him with a sense, that wouldn't work since Sou would only make him fly across the country with his fist. Now then, a new guy, the arrancar and the nightmare. Let's see who will stand on the last crown of the seat with their powers. Even if he was not in a good condition right now when he unleashed such an extreme force against Eien, it doesn't mean that he cannot continue fighting anymore. Simply, this was just a beginning.
