Multiverse Gacha

[82] Commencing the Subjugation of Goliath!

After taking Bell through the first three floors, August prepared to head to the seventeenth floor.

"Bunny, starting from now, I will take you to the lower floors. During this time, no matter what monsters we encounter, you can only watch. With your current strength, you are too weak, not even an opponent."

"Yes, big bro."

"Well, I'm taking you to the lower floors to make you understand the gap in strength. Remember it well."

"Yes."

In this regard, Bell was obedient.

Or perhaps, after witnessing the attack style of Gate of Babylon, Bell was completely captivated.

Deep down, what she desired the most was a magical ability that was incredibly magnificent and powerful, because that would be very cool.

In this way, although August had Bell with him, his speed of advancement was by no means slow.

Wherever he went, all the monsters were slaughtered by his treasury attacks.

Crossing through the upper and middle floors, after a while, August and Bell arrived at the seventeenth floor.

On this journey, Bell witnessed various monsters. Most of them made her feel tiny. If it were her, she would undoubtedly be instantly killed.

However, these seemingly powerful monsters, in front of August, were as weak as ants.

From ancient times, heroes loved beauties, and conversely, beauties also cherished heroes.

A naive girl who grew up in a rural area, after experiencing such situations, a small seed was quietly planted in her heart, waiting to germinate and take root in the future.

"Bunny, hide to the side. No matter what happens, don't come out."

"Oh."

Seeing the seriousness on August's face, Bell quickly ran to the edge and peeked out from behind a large rock, curious about everything happening.

August nodded, took out a water candle from the treasure trove, and lit it.

Apparently, it had been over a month. At this time, even if Goliath hadn't been reborn, it was almost time. So, just by stimulating it with a water candle, it should be enough.

Rumble!

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the entire crystal wall of the seventeenth floor vibrated, followed by a roar.

All the sighing crystal walls around shattered, and an immensely gigantic monster crawled out from the crystal wall.

This scene instantly stunned Bell. It was the first time she had seen such a terrifying monster.

Moreover, compared to this monster, the monsters she had encountered on the way seemed like livestock.

Yet, to August, standing there and watching the appearance of the giant Goliath, a slight smile appeared on his face.

From the two golden ripples, two swords slowly descended.

One was the zanpakuto that could sever souls, and the other was a sword completely black.

"Come, let's fight, Goliath."

*ROOOOOAR!*

Both man and monster moved simultaneously.

Holding a sword and a blade, August, facing Goliath's roar, felt the burning of battle spirit within him.

Clang!

August's sword and blade collided with Goliath's skin, producing a metallic sound that was unpleasant to the ears.

Boom!

At this moment, Goliath's enormous palm came crashing down.

August flipped and leaped out of Goliath's attack range. Watching Goliath, August understood that breaking its defense required a little more. He needed to buff himself.

"Haki!"

Black energy wrapped around both the Zanpakuto and the Elucidator, instantly rendering both swords pitch-black.

Swoosh!

"Blink!"

The next moment, August's figure disappeared instantly, then reappeared on Goliath's shoulder.

Splurt!

He directly inserted both the sword and the blade into Goliath's body. Then, following Goliath's body, he ran downward, causing blood to splash down like it was free.

Under the intense pain, Goliath was extremely angry, but August was too small for it, and his speed was too fast.

Several attacks couldn't even touch the hem of August's clothes. On the other hand, Goliath was directly cut into a bloody mess by August, with large wounds all over its body.

"Getsuga Tenshou!!"

August leaped high, and then the sword and the blade in his hands each slashed out a black crescent.

This was a technique August had learned in the past month, combining the Getsuga Tenshou with Armament Haki, greatly increasing speed and power.

Tear~

Like a triumphant mark in the shape of an 'X,' it sat on Goliath's chest.

However, as the floor boss, Goliath naturally couldn't be so easily defeated. Its terrifying regenerative ability caused all the wounds August left behind to visibly heal at an eye-catching speed.

August naturally found this surprising. He had witnessed it before.

This regeneration was comparable to the super-speed regeneration of Hollows in "Bleach." As long as its magic stone wasn't destroyed, it could keep regenerating like this.

This was the terrifying aspect of Goliath—not its strength but its regeneration.

You could suppress it, but you couldn't kill it. That was the most disgusting part.

"It's recovered again. In that case, I'll start now."

August took a deep breath, a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He stepped on the ground and then leaped.

Hum~

Two indestructible swords extended from his treasury.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~

*ROOOOAR*

Then, these two indestructible swords directly pierced through Goliath's eyes.

In pain, Goliath wailed while covering its face.

"Raise your fead, Wabisuke!"

At this moment, August also used Shikai.

Then August began to continuously attack Goliath. Although Wabisuke's ability was to double the weight, its sharpness was not to be underestimated.

Bloodstains appeared on Goliath's body.

Although they instantly healed, the imprints of Wabisuke were left on Goliath's body.

"Hmm? Is someone subjugating Goliath?"

At the entrance of the passage between the eighteenth and seventeenth floors, a group of people walked out.

The leader was none other than Finn, the Captain of the Loki Familia, followed by the core members of the familia.

Riveria, Ais, Bete, Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, and the others walked out of the passage and happened to see Goliath being subjugated in front of them.

"Hmm? That person looks so familiar."

Tione suddenly squinted her eyes and looked at the figure constantly battling with Goliath.

The others also looked over, and then nodded in agreement. Indeed, he looked very familiar.

"It's August."

At this moment, Ais suddenly spoke up. As his bedmate, no one was more familiar with August than she was.

Hearing Ais's words, everyone was slightly surprised, then looked towards the direction of Goliath.

After some recognition, they also identified him. It was indeed August.
